The number of aliens holding office
under the United Staten I'overn-
ernment in bej'inniiq; to receive serious
consideration. This country extends a
hearty welcome to all foreigners wfio in-
tendjto heroine citizens, and there is no
reason whatever why such naturalized
citizens should not till offices with credit
to themselves and the country. But the
appointment of aliens to office is a step
in the wrong direction.
Tub scientists are speculating on (he
connection between sun spots and red-
sunsets, cyclones, earthquakes and vol
canic eruptions of which tin* last few
years have furnished such numerous
and startling examples. The prize essays
on the red sunsets, numbering several
hundred, ami written by men of note in
all countries, furnished the usual illus
trations of many men of many minds,
hut the best was tlint which assigned the
phenomenon to a big solar eruption
which loaded and extended the solar en
velope so that its nebulosity became visi
ble. It is certain that, sun-spots have
been seen in large numbers and of large
size within till* last two or three years,
and all observers agree that the red-sun
sets always followed an unusual display
of spots. When we consider t hat these
sjsits represent centres of disturbances
inony times larger than our earth, the
possibility of solar influences is not an
inapt conclusion.
Whatever changes the past few days
have witnessed in the business situation,
tlie preponderating factors have been fa
vorable to common prosperity. Specula
tion is everywhere conducted on a mod
erate scale with the tendency toward
permanent investment of funds growing
more prevalent. Railroad bunds sell
more readily than stocks and security is
more often considered essential than a
high rate of interest. A safe return, and
not a large one, is looked for. The pub
lic has not been led into Wall street yet,
us the improvement in general business
and the increase in railroad earnings
have been too gradual to induce any sus
tained upward movement in prices. The
professional operators have faith in the
list to the extent that they do not dare
to sell it “short,” hut purchases continue
small. The labor troubles have their
hacks broken as a national influence
upon commerce and production, and the
iron and steel men have become more
hopeful in consequence, as orders for
manufactured goods increase.

AS TO A Itt HK NOME. *
The EsquiiiHR-Sux lias', bn several oc
casions,-.expressed itself* as to “dark
■ lives" te imlitieal campaigns in Inn-
mtgc sufficiently plain as not to he mis-
mdersthild. The idea' that we entertain
*f the “dark horse” is a man who dis
credits his ability to secure an office he
lesires by coining squarely before the
■eople, and prefers to work schemes
upon a nominating convention, with the
hope that circumstances will thus give
lim what lie could not otherwise obtain,
fliis diameter of a “dark horse" is not
only discreditable, but is one of tlie worst
features in modern polities.
When there are two or niorejeandi-
i.ites seeking a nomination, and some
one other than these candidates is nomi
nated, it does not follow that lie is a dark
horse. When tlie candidates in a con
test cause tlie campaign to become so
heated as lo jeopardize the interest of
liit* party by the nomination of a pro
nounced candidate, conventions;'*lmvc
frequently acted very wisely in making
-election of seme one against whom no
-neb bitterness exists. It is under such
circumstances as these that tlie Savnti-
hah News says this:
“It is rattier remark able that tlie people have
submitted so patiently to tlie bulldozing tactics
adopted by tbe managers of General Gordon and
Major Bacon to force them to support their re
spective candidates. These managers have as
sumed from the outset that the choice for a can
didate for governor must he confined to the two
men tl»y represent. They do not admit that
there are other men in the state qualified for the
governorship, and, by the course they are pur
suing, deny that the people have a right to look
outside of their principals for a candidate. With
out being solicited they put forward two men,
and, in effect, have said to the people they must
take one or the other of them.”
Mucli on the same line is tlie following
which wo And in tlie Evening Capitol, a
paper that warmly supports general
Gordon:
“There is a great and growing desire among
many of the best citizens for another gubernato
rial candidate. One that has not been so mixed
up with wire pullers and political machinery
seems to be the demand. Some laugh at the idea
of a dark horse coming up at the convention.
There were many who laughed at the idea at the
Inst convention, and thought that Boynton would
surely be selected over Bacon, but Governor Mc
Daniel’s name was proposed to the convention,
and he swept nearly the entire delegations. If a
good, true man could he selected at the coming
convention we predict that he would get the
unanimous vote, and his selection would give
great satisfaction to all conservative people.”
The Capitol honestly believes that as
between General Gordon and Major Ba
con that Gordon will he the nominee,
and nothing but a desire to see the best
interest of the party promoted would
cause it to make such a statement as the
above. One of Major Baeon’s leading,
supporters, and one who professes to be
stumping the state in the interest of
Major Bacon, has publicly announced
that he would not support General Gor
don if nominated hv the convention.
While such an utterance should not he
allowed to thwart the wishes of the dem
ocratic party, it at least suggests the
propriety of making an investigation as
to the extent of bitterness existing be
tween rival candidates. If it is believed
by the convention that the nomination
of one or the other of the candidates will
subject the party to danger, the duty of
the convention is plain. There are too
many available men—men who ars fully
competent and worthy in each particular
and early report* are bined on the count!,** lying
along the railroads and are not reliable in no close
a Rate an a guoss at the whole.QThe reduction
of the majority of 2256 for Blaine over CVei-^land
to about 1000 for the republican congressman
would of itself be sufficient to place the state in
the doubtful column for 1888; but the Oregonians
have done even better than this -they have elec
ted half the state ticket, and those officers whom
they have chosen are the most important in the
administration.
Oregon was largely settled from the southern
states, and this is the reason of her obstinate ad
herence to democracy. In 1800 Lincoln had a
plurality only, the democratic vote being nearly
equally divided between Donglas anti Breckin
ridge. As soon ns the war was over the Oregon
ians returned to the democracy, giving their
(•lectors in 1868 to Heymour. They could not
stand Greeley, nnd the republicans have since
then contrived to carry the state by a small ma
jority, which is now almost lost.

Now that the Irish leaders know precisely
where to find Mr. Gladstone on the home rule
question, all cause of distrust is removed, and
Irish votes in England will not be thrown to the
tories as they were last year. Doubtless every
Irish voter in an English constituency will shout
and vote for the liberal candidate. This will help
u little. The liberals think they will make other
and larger gains. It would appear that the only
advantage the tories have over the liberals lies in
their pocketbooks.
One of the papal messengers who are to hear
to this country the here tv for Cardinal Gibbons
is Count Stanislas Muccioli. This gentleman
married a North Carolina girl, Miss Terry, the
daughter of an Episcopal minister who lived and
served in Wilmington not many years ago, and
Miss Terry, it is said, was confirmed by Cardinal
Gibbons when he was last in Rome. The count is
a member of the Noble Guard, which attends im
mediately on the person of the pope, and capti
vates the fancy of every American girl in Rome
by its dash and the brilliancy of its uniform.
London is now the largest city that has been
built upon the earth, and in its commercial
relations and wealth no city of any country can
be compared with it. It is to-day one of the
world’s wonders.
Water is selling for fifty cents a barrel at Gal- j
veston. It’s a fortunate thing for the citizens of |
that section that water is not highly prized !
as a drink.
The reports given to the press in Venice con- j
cerning the ravages of cholera in that city do not I
agree with the reports received from Venice by
the marine hospital bureau at Washington. The
press reports show a daily average oftwenty new
cases and ten deaths. The bureau is informed
that the daily average for the two weeks ending
June 6 was forty-one new cases and twenty-two
deaths, and that on one day in that period the
record was sixty-one new cases and thirty-six
deaths. The death rate is, therefore, more than
50 per cent. The steady advance of the disease
indicates that the city will suffer severely before
the summer is ended. London papers report
that cholera has appeared on the Austrian fron
tier in places connected with Venice by railway.
A divorce case is soon to come up in a Maine
court, the outgrowth of a trifling quarrel between
a man and his wife twenty-five years ago. Since
that day, although living together,, neither has
spoken to the other, until a few weeks ago, when 1 ,
in the excitement of house cleaning, the woman
said to the man, “Where’s the nails?” The man
looked at the woman calmly and did not answer.
Indianapolis is very proud of the fhet that it is
becoming a musical center of the most central
kind, thereby throwing Chicago and Cincinnati
completely in the shade. A local paper describes
how at a recent festival the song, “Tenting on the
Old Camp Ground,” was sung as it can be sung
only in Indianapolis.
When you hear a man who is an American
citizen boasting t hat he “does not vote” and has
“nothing to do with the dirty pool of politics,”
... . . . . you can always mark him down as a man un
to llll till* Jilgh onice—-to allow any per- worthy of his privileges, a failure in his trust,
sonal ambition or prejudice to place the
party in jeopardy.

The Hamilton Journal of yesterday
contains this paragraph:
“The Columbus Enquirer-Sun claims now that
Hon. Henry R. Harris was pledged two years ago
not to be a candidate again for congressional
honors. His opponent then claimed that there
was an understanding or bargain of this kind by
which the nominee secured certain very strong
help in his canvass. The charge was denied, anti
if the Enquikkk-Sun was silent then as the
friend of Colo ucl Harris, it should hold its tongue
now in the interest of the party. Is its testimony
not barred by the statute oflimitatioo?”
i Tub manifesto issued by Mr. Glad
stone, a lew days ago, to his constituents
in Midlothian, is a clear statement of tlie
differences between the liberals, who fa
vor home rule for Ireland, and all those
who are opposed to home rule. There
are, lie declares, hut two lines of policy
to he voted on, that of coercion, advoca-
j ted hv Lord Salisbury and the eonserva-
j tives, and that of home rule advocated
by the liberals, lie denies tlie right of
the opposition to tlie title unionists, be
cause their policy will lead to disunions,
while tin* home rule policy will lead to
closer union. Mr. Gladstone was elected
to parliament for the tilth time from
Midlothian last fall by a majority of -biffl,

Aii American Cotton Market.
The Savannah News asserts that some of the
southern papers are demanding that tlie Ameri
can cotton men declare their independence of
English tyranny, and establish a market of their
, own. They argue that ns we produce two-thirds
In the* above the Journal misrepresents | of the cotton supply of the world, and spin say
the facts. The Kniiituek-Sun lias never
at any time said or intimated that Col.
Harris did not say that he would not be
a candidate again for congressional
honors. On the contrary, he repeated it
from one end to tlie other of tlie district.
There could have been no possible
grounds for such denial if we laid desired
ever so much to have done so. If the
'charge “was denied it was not done
by the EVUTRER-^i'N, and if any such
denial was made, it escaped our at
tention. 3} *P Journal has the privilege
<\f using i any means it may
desire tot employ in furthering
the interest of Col. Harris, but
it shotiVI be careful to have facts on its
side in doing this, and it is not a fact that
the EsiH'iiiER-Scx ever denied, or denies
now, ttie charges which tlie Journal al
leges were made.
but why should the Journal consider
it “ in the interest of tlie party" for the
Enquirer-Sun to he silent upon this
question? Does the Journal think that
the interest of the party demands the
nomination of Col. Harris? if so, it must
admit that a wonderful change has come
over tiie spirit of its dreams since the last
congressional race.
‘2,000.000 bales a year—the present year’s estimate
is ‘2,‘200.000 bales—that the price of cotton ought
not to be in so large a measure under the control
of Liverpool operators and Manchester spinners.
It is asserted that now is a good time for the cot
ton men to sign the declaration and establish
their independence on a permanent basis, as the
stock at Liverpool, as well as here and afloat, is
less than that of last year at this date, and as the
prospects are that the demand for consumption
at Liverpool will be 25,000 bales per week more
than that of last year, when the troubles at Old
ham materially decreased the consumption oft he
staple.
There seems to be no good reason, says the
News, why the market cannot be controlled to a
great extent this side the water, especially when,
as seems to be the case at present, the demand
promises to be somewhat commensurate with the
supply. The bulk of the cotton is produced here,
and there is believed to be plenty of idle capital
in the eastern cities to control it, if the owners of
this money could only be induced to invest in it.
It is probable, however; that the cotton market
will never be controlled in America until it is
controlled by the producers. The Morning News
has long urged the planters to declare their inde
pendence of money lenders, to break loose from
the old credit system, which lias made them
worse than slaves, and to get in a position where
they can hold their cotton unincumbered until
they can influence the market.

poijE FOOD J$gop.
For raising bread, biscuit or other food, only the very
best and purest baking powder should be employed. The
use of the ordinary cream of tartar, or of a baking pow
der containing lime, alum or phosphates, carries deleterious
ingredients into the food to the prejudice of the life and
health of the consumer.
The ordinary baking powder contains either lime,
which introduced into the system in too free quantities
causes serious disorders of the kidneys; alum, a corrosive
poison, or phosphates, which are condemned by physicians
as deleterious in their effect when taken under certain
physical conditions.
The absolute purity of the Royal Baking Powder
makes it preeminently the most useful and wholesome
leavening agent known. It contains no lime, alum, phos
phate or other impurity, leaves no alkaline or other residuum
in the food, and its use always ensures pure, l’ght and sweet
bread, biscuit and cake, that is perfectly digestible and
wholesome whether hot or cold, fresh or stale. Its leaven
ing power has been determined the highest whenever
tested by official authority, and all chemists and writers
on food hygiene commend it for its sterling qualities.
