Not a Democratic Ticket.
The impression is that there ara a good
many Knights ot Labor who do not in
tend to vote for the mass meeting les'sla
i live ticket. Th reason, doubtless. Is
| that they are loyal Democrats, and and > not
i regard it as a Democratic ticket, it io
| true that it was nominated at a meeting
called by the Democratic KxscutiveCom
mittee, and It may be that all the nomi
nee*s are Democrats, but that doesn’t
make it the ticket of the Chatham county
Democracy.
The statement has been made and not
denied tbßt the ticket was decided upon
in a caucus of Knights ol Labor, and i'
will hardlv be denied that it was nomi
nated bv Knights of Labor. The resolu
tions adopted to accompany the ticket
express the purposes of Knights ot Labor
rather than of Democrats.
The argument is frequently advanced
tbat because the ticket was nominated at
a mass meeting called by the Democratic
Executive Committee, ami without pro
tect from anv one at the time, the Demo
crats ought to accept it. In effect, the
argument amounts to this, that if Repub
licans, for instance, should collect at a
mass ineetinc, called by Democrats, and
control ;t, the Democrats should abide by
the action of the meeting if no Democrat at
the time was thougtitlul enough to protest,
against the presence of Republicans. The
argument will hardly satisfy Item crats.
While the great majority of the Knights
of Labor in this community are,
or at least claim to be, Democrats,
the purposes of their organization
are not in harmony with the pur
poses of the Democratic parly. When
they enter politics, therefore, as an or
ganization they have no right to claim
tbat their acta are the acts of the Demo
cratic party. Asa political organization
they are as distinct from the Democratic
party as the Republican party is.
It has been staled and not questioned
that the secretary of the political commit
tee of the Knishts of Labor is a Republi
can. This, of itself, would seem to indi
cate that the Knights of Labor. inside of
tbeirorganization. do not regard them
selves as Democrats. No committee of
Democrats would select a Republican
secretary. If, therefore, the Knights do
not regard their organization as Demo
cratic in its character, what right have
they to name a ticket in their caucus tor
the Democratic party.
There can be no question that the
Knigu's of Labor have a right as an or
ganl/tion toAake part in politics and to
nominate candidates, but they cannot do
Bias Democrats. The Democratic party
will not consent to be deprived of its
name and organization. It has use for
them.
Who knows but tbat the candidates
named by the Knights of Labor in their
secret caucus were required to make
pledges and promises wholly at variance
with the principles of the Democracy.
II there were no pledges,why the secrecy ?
It is easy to see that the welfare of the
Democratic party in this county requires
that it should not allow itself to be cap
tured or dictated to by an organization of
the secret workings of which the public
knows little or nothing.
Political Straws.
If the two grei\t political parties were
tohold national conventions this month,
or any time this year, it Is probable that
Mr. Cleveland would be tne choice of the
Democrats and Mr. Blaine of the Repub
licans. From present indications they
may be the choice of their respective par
ties in 1888, but there mav be occurrences
before thst year w bicb will wholly change
public sentiment.
Last week the Democratic and Repub.
Lean State conventions of Massachusetts
met, and enterprising reporters canvassed
them tor the purpose of finding out the
choice of the delegates for President in
ISBB,
In the Democratic convention 266 ex
pressed a prelerence. Of this number 220
were for Mr. Cleveland and 30 for Gov.
Hill, of New York. Eight other promi
nent gentlemen received one each.
in the Republican convention 227 ex
pressed a preference. Mr. Blaine received
168, Mr. Sherman 24, Mr. Edmunds 10 and
Gen. Logan S. The other votes were di
vided between four other candidates.
If the sentiment among the representa
tive party men of M assachusetis is any
Indication of the sentiment among the
people and party men In other States.
Mr, Cleveland and Mr. Blaine will lead
their respective parlies in tbo next Presi
dential contest.
Mr. Gi aut Allen, who lately spent afew
months in this country, says in the Pall
Mall Gazelle that the farmers of America
are “barbarous, in the sense of leading a
life that is destituted almost all the con
veniences and appliances of civilization.
They lead a life oi unceasing toil in
spacious solitude* laboring all the year
round without the stimulus of society or
the privileges*tf conversation.” Mr. Allen
evidently doesn't write from experience
or even observation. There are lew peo
ple whoenjov more of social hie and out
door sports than American farmers, those
ol the South and 'Vest, especially. As to
their “unceasing toil in spacious soli.
: tudee, ’’ that is a kind of poetic fancy evi
dentiv. It is in the cities where people
know what unceasing toll is. The farm
ers. however, have plenty of work to do,
and most of them do it faithfully and in
seasou.
A New York paper says that recently
there has been a good deal of excitement
In the Dutch Reformed church at I’eeks

W. Coles, of Adrian Mich., a believer in

1 troubled for some time witn beau disease,
J and belleied that she could be cured by

i Rev. l)r. Si in neon anointed her. While sit
ttog in the room she suddenly died. Coro

It has long boon believed that it was

I men who make the trouble during riots.
A New York police officer says “that

SAVANNAH MORNING NEWS: TUESDAY. OCTOBER 5. 1886.
Progress ol Cremation.
The statistics of cremation during the
past twelve months seem to show a steady
growth of sentiment in its tavor. This
growth, howev- r, is confined to a few lo
calities, and there does not appear to be
sny immediate danger that the predicted
craze on the subject is about to sweep
over the c mntry. For more than eighty
years from the Incineration by his own
direction o( the remains of Col. Henrv
Lnurensin South Carolina, in 1794, wh*ch
is believed to be the first instanco
of the kind in the bistorv of this country,
until 1676, only eight bodies were burned
in Ihe United States, while onlv about 190
had been burned in Europe, 150 of which
were at the Milan crematory. Up to 1876
there wi re only four crematories in Eu
rope. and about that time the first in this
country was built at Washlagton, Fa.
Now there are more than a dozen in Eu
rope. and four completed and several
others projected in the United States.
Since IK7S m arly 100 bodies have been
burned in this country, most of them at
'bo New York crematory, at Fr -sh Pond,
L. I. This crematory was completed and
opened less than ten months ago. and 61
bodies have been reduce l to ashes in it.
The crematories at Washington and
Lancaster, Pa., and Buffalo, N. Y.,
have had scarcely any custom since that
at Fresh Pond was opened, and the latter
has not had enough patronage to pay a
tithe of the operating expenses, to say
nothing of dividends to the stockholders.
The charge ot $25 for inclneration.it is said,
cannot prove profitable unless four or five
bodies are subjected to the process every
d.iv.
In Paris the new crematory at Pere la
Chaise cemetery has completed arrange
ments with the municipality to undertake
the incineration ot the bodies of all pau
pers, and the charges is fixed at 15f., or
about $3 each. It is expected tbat crema
tion will soon become common in that
city.
There appears to be less opposition to
cremation on religious and sentimental
grounds in this country now titan there
was two or three years ago. It looks as if
the adroca'es of tills manner of disposing
of dead bodies were also less aggressive
than they were a year or two ago.
In connection with this subject the in
ventors have been at work designing
urns, etc., for containing the ashes of the
dead. The most sensational, it may be
said startling proposition has been made
in Paris. At a recent meeting of the
French Academy there were shown a
number of glass articles made ot phos
phate of lime, to which bone ashes can be
reduced, and which It is proposed to form
into medallions or statuettes of the per
sons front whose bodies the material is
derived by inolneratton. A scientific
journal coolly discusses tbe merits of the
invention, and commends it on the ground
that the articles are indestructible by
time or acids.
Flatus of tlie Navy.
The present condition of the United
Slate navy is the shame of the nation, and
it has been brought about by the dishon
est j and gross incompetency of those who
had control of the government, from tbe
end of the war up to March 4,1885. Mil
lions upon millions of dollars have been
spent in building and repairing naval
vessels, and yet there Is almost nething
to show for the enormous outlay, except
a line of antiquated wooden vessels and
a few hulks that are worthless for war
purposes.
The report of Chief Naval Constructor
Wilson shows that, not one of the iron or
wooden vessels now embraced in the
United States navy would be effective
against modern armor and arm*, such as
are now employed In the navies of the
various countries of Europe and even of
South America. We have more than a
dozen monitors that have cost millions of
dollars for storage and repairs since the
war that are now totally unfit for service.
The United States is at the very foot of
the list of naval powers.
It has only been during the last, eigh
teen months, or since the Democrats
came into power, that it has been practi
cable to begin to rebuild tbe navy accord
ing to modern ideas. We have now a
prospective navy that will, within four or
five years, form a nucleus that will again
place us in a respectable though not very
influential position among naval powers.
It is contemplated during that time to
build eighteen effective vessels of differ
ent classes, to be furbished with tbe best
arms and most, approved armor. They
are expected to cost about $20,000,000,
and It is believed that under an honest
and efficient administration the govern
ment will get the worth of its money.
With this nucleus to begin on afew
vessels of the different classes, construct
ed according to tbe most approved plans,
can be added front year to year, and it
will probably not be long before our flag
will float as proudly on the seas as it did
during the period that covered cur navy
with so much glory.
The silver-tongued ex-Senator Grady,
of New York, is said to have grown churl
ish since he retired f-om politics, lit*
may now be given the name of golden
tongued, as silence is far more precious
than sliver. He is said to be almost as
silent in social intercourse a* he used to
be genial and entertaining. Grady was
a bright, aggressive politician, but be
seems to appreciate tbe fact that he made
the great mistake ol his career when be
undertook to booat the Butler boom and
gotorusbed In tbe general collapse.
It is solemnly announced that the
copyright of the heirs of the Russian
poet, Pushkin, expires with the present
year, and in view of this no fewer than
ten new editions of the work 9 of ihe poet
are already being prepared by Russian
publishers. Those who wish to receive
copies in the original tongue should seud
in their order* at once.
Among the notables now visiting this
country is VDcomte de la Maile Rouge,
Inspector General of the National Btud of
Fiance, and he is accompanied by Vis.
coinpte Coutleaude Cournont, Director of
the National Stud at Cotnpeigne. The
French republic has not yet ootne down
to Jeffersonian simplicity in the matter of
official titles.
There is said to be a fair prospect that
the County Democracy of New York and
Tammany Hall will unite on a ticket for
Mayor, and if they should unite, Henry
George’s prospect tor election will be ex
tremely slltn, unless he can enlist the
Republicans in his ranks, welch be will
hardlv he able Vo do.

From 4he Washington C<itlc.
It doesn’t make any difference what his
other name whs lint he niu a Congressman in
Pari*, and ho had never lieen there before.
It i* the custom in that city when a stage is
full to put up the sign compiet. and no m >re
pa-sen*er. cun tet in. Our Congressman
wanted to see everything, and as these la
belled stage* mould pans him he would try to
atop them but the driver would shake his
head and driveon.
‘•You can’t git in anv of those,” said an
Engi-h-speaking citizen, who had watched
bl* vain atiempts.
“Rut I want one of them,” he persisted.
‘ Tike one of the others, with fewer people
in It. There’s plenty of them,” urged the
cli hen.
“You go to thunder,” he said, angrily, “I
guess I know <hat I want. I'm in this town
to see the sights. Everybody seems to he
going to Compiet, anti I’m d—d if I ain’t a
going there, too. If I have to wait a week to
catch a ’bus with room in it for me. That’s
tiie kind of an American citizen I am, and
don’t you forget it.”
The Turncoats Must Go.
From the Baltimore A merican.
“That is just the class I want to get after
I want to put them on the list You will do
roe a personal favor if you will get the names
of all moli men vou discover.”
Such were the words of Private Secretary
Lament at the Whi o House when told the
other day that a large number of department
clerks who wero known before the last
1 hange of administration as rampant Retmit
llcsns were now becoming almost offensively
Democratic.
“A turncoat.” continued Col. Lam on t. “is
the most obnoxious e'ement in politic . I de
spise a traitor, an ingrate, whether he is in my
party or another.”
"If I had my way about it.” said Col John
S. Williams, Third Audi or of the Treasury,
in recently discussing turncoats. “I would
fire them all out of office* A mail who will
betray one party for an <nßce wdl betray an
other, and cannot serve faithfully an-b dy or
anyth ng. f don’t object to a mao changing
his views, hut I do diiieot to an officeholder
reversing his posliion in politics so quick that
his design is palpable.”
It begins to ookas though the army of men
who in 1884 fought Mr. ( levcland at the polls,
but who. being in the departments here, and
desiring to retain their pla es, are showering
praises upon him. would have to go during
the few months which will immediately fol
low the approaching elections.
A Do* Saves His Master’s Life.
From the Pittsburg Time*.
Yesterday afternoon James Hagan, while
passing down Sandusky street, Allegheny,
had his attention attracted by the strange au
ticiofa small yellow dog. Tt ran tip and
down the 'racked the Pittsburg and Western
railroad about fifty feet and then returned to
Sandusky street, barking and whining inces
santly. When he stopped on the street the
dog ran mp to him, looked up into his face and
then rati up the track to a coal car, wh*>re he
stopped and looked hack to see whether the
man was following him.
Seeing a horse aid wagon standing near
the car and no driver n sight, Hagan conclu
ded to investigate. When he arrived at the
car the dog leaped nd harked and gave ev
ery expression of canine happiness. Looking
ip der the car he saw the body of a colored
man Imprisoned under amass of coal, which
haddroppodon him when he released the
fastenings of the hopper to unload
the coal. With the help of others lie succeed
ed in speedily extricating the man, who was
uncon-ctoua. In a few minutes he revived
sufficiently to give his name as Daniel W.
Smallwood. He was completely paralyzed,
and he was taken in ihe palro! wagon lo his
home. No. IP First street. Allegheny. Dr. G
M. Shili’o was immediate'-.’ sent for and pro
nounced the case a very critical one. Small
wood bat been comp'etely covered hv the
coal and held face downward for over half an
hour. Lato last night he was conscious, hut
unable to move a mu-cte, and It was feared
he wou'd not live till morning. He is shout
85 years old and has 2 wi'e aid three young
children. The dog had been owned for sev

From the Washington Critic .
Friends, sluggers, toughs, et al., give me your
cash;
T eome to bury Caesar—not to slug him,
Because I slugged him yesler eve,
And that is why he lie* here now.
Too evil that men do lives af'er them:
The good Is often planted with th"ir hones,
And Julius is n. g. this alt The Dress
Hath told you Caesar was ambitious —
And the press I- not much subsidized
Ou'side of such religious weeklies
As ye are not subscribing for at present—
And, 'ellow cltizeno, 1 think he was
Or he would never have stood up before
A man of mv talents. Yon bet he wouldn’t!
Cie*ar didn’t know what was good fer ’im.
’Till Boston’s pride and joy had knocked him
out.
And then it was too lato to utilize his knowl
edge.
Bnt vestvrday your Julius C:e*ar might
Have stood against the world; now lies he
he 'e,
And none so poor to do him reverence.
lYhile I stand Imre. unscathed, unscratched.
And all mv pockets filled with gate money.
If you have tears to shed prepare to shed them
now.
You all do know this mantle. I remember
The lasi time Cxsar pul it out to soak ;
He got four do lars and a quarter on it;
And with that sum we painted all Rome red !
But lam off my base. ThatCassarls knocked
out
Is plain: and quite as plain I knocked him
out;
f canget him on the chin—great Cxsar fell.
And what a ’all was there, my countrymen!
I come not, friends, to steal away your hearts.
I am no orator, as some men are,'
But as you know me all, a plain, blunt man.
That loves ray friends and gits full occa

Therefore, thankin’ yon for your attention
And hopin' to ee vou all agin.

Miss Clsve and's Ideas About Home.
From the Chsiutauquan.
This item of proprietorship in the home
should he shared by each member of the
household. If he is a worthy member this
proprietorship is his right. P> rliap* here, in
order to avoid any pna-ibility of being misun
derstood, I should drop the generic term and
write down the species I have in mind. For
I mean here to emphasize the she as well as
the he. here in th home, wherever else a
difference is made, there should he none. The
man and woman, the boy and (he girl, should
moke equal demand and receive equ and con
cession. The sis’er should, ia some practical
way, have herstoek shareiothe home alike
with the brother. Up to that time when the
old home is exchanged fora new one there
shouM he soms'hmg in it, upon which each
one to whom it is homo can lav the hand, and
say. ‘this is mine; and't is part of the prop
erty.” If you wish to endear the place you
call their home to your son, your dauwhter.
vnur brother, or <our sister, give them shares
in the capital stock. This rule will work both
wavs, and to the advantage of each. The
man or woman, bovorgirl, who has a right
to the roof that is his or her shelter, will have
a pride in the p'ace, nnd that noble natural
pride will work to its b-nerit. In all ilio-e
numberless liitle cosy and ingenious touches
th.V I ransfoims a house into a home.
Kverv woman who passes the aire of 25
should feel, in some degree, the reiponsibili
tiea wlidi come from independence in ihe
items of her food and shelter. I here can lie
no miinre development where there is no
consc’ons responsibility; and there can bn no
responsibility without independence. When
a woman bus ou**ed the lrrospousthlo girl

is. and wl'l remain, a human invertebrs’e. • *
the consciousness of her legal right to h< r
abd ngoiaco; a place to rest in, to grow n ,
to bide in; and one liich cannot hy nv legal
right or wrong ho wrest'd from her.’ It is
saol that many women realize this as their
grea’ uecessn v late in life. But it is better
late than never.
A noble nature does not stand Idly bv unti

and that Is a suit able and becoming marriage.
This is the only thing In thecarecrof a wo

Saturday a lady boarded a Philadelphia

most exclusively by ladies. Some were sit

out to the side. There was in reality room
for m .re than one other, but no effort to move
closer was m ii'e. In fact, onlv one of those
ladies seated seemed to be conscious of the
woman hanging to the strap. She glanced
down the line and then at a business-looking

she sat at breakfast and fed him from her

and, standing on his hind legs, pawed and
scratched at the gentleman’s breast pocket.
