Tbe terrible warning of tbe Investiga

of tbe world competing for tbs purchase
of tbe gas monopoly in this city. But
Councils propose to give tbe money cen
tres only thirty days notice—only thirty
days In which to make up their minds
about a sls 000,000 purchase 1 Toe notice
ought to be extended to six months or a
year; and it would be if more than one
bidder were wanted.” It may be re
marked In this connection that Philadel
phia is thoroughly dominated by Republi
can ring rule, and that the ring leaders
have neither the vlrtuea of boneaty, honor

.Mr. Moody’*' Wise Course.
Mr. Moody, ttie evangelist, appears to
be a man of excellent common sense.
The wot It! knows tuat he is a preacher of
more than ordinary power. His success
in many Helds of labor has lieen wonder
ful. 'Vturever he goes he receives a
warm welcome, and the results of his ef
forts are always visible.
Tuat he Das plenty of common sense is
shown by his treatment of tne race ques
tion since be has been in ths South. Ef
forts were made in a number of South
ern cities to induce him to make no
distinction between the white and black
races at his meetings. The extremists,
the cranks and those who delight in strife
said to him, “Are not tbe colored people
as much In need of the Gospel
as the white people? Can you
afford to have It said that you shut out the
colored people from your meetings. When
you say that you want everybody to come
and hear you why don’t you make it
clear that you want the colored people
also, by inviting their preachers to seals
on tbe platform with the preachers of the
white congregations? Why don’t you
tell the colored people that you are a?
anxious that they shall be benefitted by
your preaching as you are that the white
people shall be benefited, and that you
will he glad to have them take any seats
that they may find vacant?” These and
similar questions wers pressed uron the
evangelist, and In some localities they
were pressed with considerable persist-
ence.
To all questions of this character, how
ever, he answered that It was not his bus
iness to attempt to settle tbe raoe issue.
He did not attempt anything of that kind
at tbe Noitb, and he did not see why he
should at the South. He was wsll aware
that this issue had been discussed tor a
long time, and b did not have sufficient
oonfidsnoe in hinmif-.tfii baiter* that ke
could eeU)e ft In a tow ah yd vrkM ynm
at coast ant ajHa*loa kad tailed te do no.
Re, therefore, In effedioatd: “No, I will
not touch this race issue. Let the local
committees deal with it, so far as my
meetings are conoerned, as they may
think best. They know more about
it than I do, and doubtless
will avoid tbe mistakes that 1
would be liable to make.” And the local
committees have dealt with it thus far,
and very successfully. In some cities
certain pews were set apart for the col
ored people, and In other cities certain
days were given up to them. The meet
ings have been uniformly successful, and
no 111 leeling has been stirred up be
tween the races. Now and then Mr.
has preaohed in the churches of
tbe colored people, and he did much more
effective work there than If he hail at
tempted to foroe an equality of races at
his meetings.
Who Is there that is qualified to give
an intelligent opinion who will not say
that Mr. Moody acted wisely? Had he
permitted himself to be influenced by the
extremists and those who are happy only
when stirring up strife, he would have
failed in hi* mission South at its very be
ginning. He would bavedriven the white
people from him without drawing the
black people. The course he pursued
prepared ail to bear him willingly, and to
receive all tbe good he was able to do
them.
What a pity it Is that tbe extremists at
the North, who are all the time trying to
settle the raoe question at tbe South, can
not learn something for their own
guidance in tbe oourse pursued by Mr.
Moody! At the South, where alone
the race issue is prominent, the Southern
people are muoh better able to deal with
it than tbe mere theorists at the North
are. They know the colored people thor
oughly, and have only tbe kindest feelings
lor them. Tbe issue, however, is not one
that can be settled in a day or a year. It
cannot be settled by the law-making
power or by tbe dictation ol sny class, it
can he settled only by time—that is, it will
eventually work out its own settlement.
This, Mr. Moody is wise enough to see. It
would be a good thing for tbe country
if some of tbe agitators of the race ques
tion at the North were equally as wise.
The Congressional Record.
The Congressional Record is supposed
to contain a verbatim report of the pro
ceedings ot both houses of Congress, it
doesn't, however. There are a good
many things said in the debates which do
not appear in that publication. The re
porters do their work faithfully, in their
notes appears every word that is spoken.
Everything doesn’t get into the Record
because members are ashamed of some
things they say, and at their request they
are permitted to revise their speeches and
strike out whatever the; regard as objec
tionable.
It is a question whether members ought
to have this privilege. If there were no
exception to the rule that all spoken
words in debate shall appear in tbe Record
members would be more careful in
respect to their utterances. Last week,
both in the House and tbe Senate, words
were spoken in debate which did not ap
pear In tbe Record, They would not have
been spoken perhaps if it had not been
known that tbe; could be kept out of tbe
published proceedings.
If a member ie not disposed to conduct
himsell • s a gentleman, and to use only
such language as is proper aud respecta
ble, bis constituents are entitled to a
knowledge ot that fact. Neither bouse
ought to desire to or be willing to shield a
member who disgraces himself. That is
not the way to put a stop to disgraceful
soenes. The way is to give tbe widest
publicity to all that occurs In Congress.
Let the country see who there are among
tbe members whose conduct is such as to
justify the withdrawal of respect from
them. Let It be onoe understood that tne
Record cannot be tampered with, and
members will put a curb upon their
tongues and their tempers. Tbe scene
will not then be witnessed every day or
two in wbioh Mr. 80-and-Bo rises and
says that be regrets having mads use or
language which be'adnßw is dMgraocful.
Let tbe Record Hell Jhw. whole truth, sad
tbs people will ell tab Mere Willingly pay
the expeeaa el prinking it.

SAVANNAH MORNING NEWS: SUNDAY. MARCH 7, 1886.
Oflieo-soeliinjj and Office-bolding.
If the young men of this country fully
appreciated the evils of office-bolding, we
would not witness so many of the evils of
office-seeking. Not only in Washington,
but in every city, toivn and neighborhood
In tho land are to be lound young men of
fair attainments and character who are
wasting Uteir energies and ruining their
tempers in the wild chase ol the ignis fab
uous of official allurements. Those may
be numbered by thousands and tens of
thousands, and probably not one in ten is
ever rewurded with tbe slightest success,
and not one in a thousand has his dreams
fully realized.
The energy and persistency that is ex
erted by office-seekers would be almost
certain to he rewarded with success in
any of the ordinary vocations of life, and
in such vocations young men would be to
a. great extent free from the temptations
and vexations that beset the office-seeker.
It must be confessed that office-seeking is
not generally au elevating and refining
occupation, but more often than not it
leads the seeker into the paths of dissipa
tion, if not of corruption.
Even when one obtains the coveted
office, be is generally as poorly off as If
be bad been defeated. ‘There are few of
fices that pay more tban will afford tbe in
cumbent a respectable support. There
are very few indeed out of which money
can be honestly and honorably accumu
lated. Official station is not always a
place or honor these days, and more rare
ly still is it found to be a place of luxury
and ease. There are trials and vexations
enough tor the most faithful, and there is
usually trouble enough for the unfaithful.
Office-bolding has a tendency to unfit
one for other business. The mind gets
into a rut from which it is difficult for it
to be withdrawn. Sell-reliance, independ'-.
•noe, snap, are sacrificed in many in
stances, and the office-holder, at the etd
sf bis term, ftnde himself more helpless
seen a south Jest out of school, for he bee
net only generally passed tbe stage of
youthful rigor, but be often has n family
that is accustomed to live in a better style
than be Is able to sustain. a>
The country requires the services of
many officials, and it is not likely that
there will ever be any scarcity of candi
dates, but the young man who starts in
life with a determination to avoid office
seeking and office-holding will be much
more apt to succeed than he who starts
without such a determination.
A Secret of Beauty.
Miss Birdie Williams, a beautiful and
respectable young lady of Edinburg, Ind.,
and the Postmaster of that place, Joshua
Sims, and William McAlister, Deputy
Postmaster, have been arrested by a
special agent of the Post Office Depart
ment under a charge of attempting to use
the United States mail for fraudulent pur
poses. It seems that tbe parties pub
lished an advertisement in a Cincinnati
paper offering to send, upon receipt of 25
cents, a wonderlul formula, by the use of
whichitlmost any plain young lady could
become beautilul. A fictitious name was
signed to the advertisement, which was
dated Indianapolis, and when nearly a
hundred letters were sent to the address,
the Postmaster at Indianapolis received
a written request from Edinburg asking
him to forward the letters to that place.
This naturally caused him to suspect
that there was something wrong, and it
was not long belore the special agent
located the guilty parties.
It seems that tbe young lady and the
Deputy Postmaster are engaged to he
married; that they adopted the above de
seribed scheme to raise enough money to;
fix up handsomely for housekeeping, and
they might have succeeded had not Aquil
la Jones’ sharp eyes pierced tbe mystery
and brought them to grief. It is presumed
that tbe lady really had some kind of re
cipe which she proposed to send her vic
tims, and which she believed to be worth
25c., but tbe fact that an assumed name
was used and another post office named
rs her address at once gave the scheme a
fraudulent character, and that will make
it difficult, it not impossible, for the de
fendants to successfully defend them
selves should they be brought to trial. At
present the parties are under bonds to ap
pear before the United States District
Court. Tbe probability is that Sims will
be at once dismissed from office, and that
the young lady and Deputy will get mar
ried, plead guilty and throw themselves
on the tender mercy of the court.
There are many alleged secrets of teauty
and bogus formulas of various kinds be
ing advertised throughout the country,
but most of the advertisers are expert
swindlers, and manage to live well off the
money sent them by their dupes, and they
are generally shrewd enough to escape
the punishment they so richly deserve.
Tbe case of Miss Williams should serve
as a warning to persons who think they
cau safely take a little flyer in tbe field of
imposition and fraud. Honesty ie cer
tainly always tbe best policy to those
who do not wish to be classed among pro
fessional swindlers and thieves. Even
where legal punishment is not to be
feared, a good name once possessed is
worth a determined struggle and sacrifi
ce to preserve. Birdie and her lover and
their friend, the Postmaster, have gotten
themselves into a pickle, and they will be
indeed fortunate if it does not result in
leaving a stain on their names that will
not be erased as long as they shall live.
Pretty is as pretty does.
It is stated in a Washington special

stituents of Congressmen Henderson.

when Mrs. Z. came in. She was on her way

the bntch'r was overwhelming. This is the

“Butchah, send ovah to ouwah house a leg
of mutton.”
“The butcher almost broke his back in say
ing he would, and Mtb. Z. started out. When
she reached the door she stopped, and, turn

is for the suvants. We eat pedigree muttun,
you know.’ If that isn’t true I hope I may
never have another bonnet.”
THE LOVE OF AN EMPRESS.
Not to Be Dissuaded Even by Victor Hu
go’s “Chastisements.”
From the Louieville Courier-Journal.
We are indebted to the French for the fol
lowing incident in the life of the ex-Kmpress
of that nation, who, at tbe time of its occur
rence was yet only Mademoiselle de Montijo.
Mme. Emile de Girardin, who had been to
see Victor Hugo, had brought hack a copy of
the poet’s "Chastisements,” a book then very
scarce in France Mile, de Montijo wa* not at
that time engaged to the Emperor, but courted
by him. Bhe had already giv--n him her fa
mous answer. “AH or nothing!” Mule, di
Girardin bad heard it said that in all proba
bility Mile, de Montijo would become the wife
Of Kapoloon 111.
■‘Hove yon read the OtosAisesaentsV asked
Rsae doGirawd'v ’ ’*
“9*. but I haws hoard it spsso ot a groat
Goal and want do rsad it.”
“Hsus it ts.” uepUsd Mme. do Gtrarrtta. “I
donbt whether, after yon have read these
chastisements, you will consent to marry the
man whom Victor Hugo has called ’Napoleon
the Little.’”
“No matter,” replied Mile, de Montijo, “give
me the volume.”
She took the book, passed the night in read
ing it. and next day returned it to Mrne. de
Girardin. "The poetry is very beautiful,”
see ssid; “the lines, though violent, are su
perb, but if I admire Victor Hugo, I love
Napoleon. Tes. he is a good man. 1 love
him, and I will marry him.”
Advice, Worldly and Wicked.
From the Columbus Dispatch.
All writersof lettersthis warning should take:
You're sure to be caught, you’re sure to be
caught.
You may think that no winds your opinions
can shake.
But the future is full of its dangers unsought.
Aud some uiuggy morning you're sure to
awake
To find that your views don’t consist as they
ought.
Yon may talk, but don’t write your convic
tions. for then
You’re sure to be caught, you’re sure to be
caught;
Use words of the mouth, for the words of vour
pen
Are most treacherous means of expressing a
thought.
And bare a queer way of appearing again
To teach you a lecsou you should have been
taught.
A word that is written don’t know when It's
dead;
You’re sure to be caught, you’re sure to be
caught;
At times most unseemly ’tie sure to be read
And to glory in mischief its nature has
wrought;
But the word that is spoken, when echo has
fled.
May tie safely denied or anew setting
bought.

Fooling n Smart Dog.
From JAs Syracuse Standard.
Said an old farmer from Amboy, Oswego
county: “l used to have a dog which whs the
most kn iwing HDd intellectual dog you ever
see. He could tell about what time It wa* by
the clock just as well a* I could. He would
run into the house in the afternoon without
saying a word to anybody and look up to tbe
clock, and if it wasn't quarter pat 5 he’d go
off about hi* business. Then he’d come back
anam. aud the second it wa* quarter past 6
he’d bark and start for the cows One dav
my woman thought she’d see if the dog could
be fooh-d, and at t o’clock in the afternoon she
turned the cl c.k to 5. The dog came in, looked
indifferently up at Ihe clock, stopped, shook
his bead, aud th-n ran out to look at the sun.
Hec*me bm k again, squatted down and eved
that clock as if he wa* waiting ior a rat.
When tbe minute hind got around to quarter
pa*t. ho started off as usual, and before we
cou.d stop him ho had all them nows up in the
barnyard. I drove them hack, and a more
mortified person you never see than that dog.
He ran into tbe house, but the woman l *d
turned tne hands hack to the true tune. The
dog jumped up at the clock, and acted as if
he wanted to tear it to piece*. He tlwar*
seemed to distrust the dumb thing after that]”

The English turf is suffering great de
pression, and there is gloom in circles where
handicap mysteries are studied with an inter
est not given to common mortals. The en
tries for the great races show a serious falling
off a* compared with last year’s figures. Thus
there are 29 fewer for ihe Leicestershire
handicap, 21 less for the Lincolnshire, and 11
less for the City and Suburban. Even such a
classic contest as the Ascot gold eup has se
cured 5 fewer, and tbe Chester cap 10 fewer.

The so-callrd wines sent to the Parisian
market of late years have been to a large ex

replacing such false wine by true cider. The

for such an experiment; the crop of app es
was so abundant m Normandy and Brittany
that growers were obliged to dispose of their
products at low prices. Enormous quantities
have been sent in Paris to be transformed into
eider. It is to be hoped that tbs new develop
ment may check (he great falsification of

Friday, when It gave symptoms of hydro
phobia. which were soon followed by violent
fits These became so frequent that the colt
had to be killed. This case iasaid to be with
