Philadelphians are bragging over the
fart that the health of Philadelphia keeps
very good, and that last, week there was
a decrease of ninety-six deaths over the
same week last year. If that many peo
ple were to die in Columbus during a
year our people would think it a fearful
mortality. But the figures show that
Columbus is the second city as for health
in tlie United States.
miles ofthis centre, with perhaps the ex
ception of about two cents per hundred
pounds to one or two places. In the dis
tribution of this merchandise no other
ei ty enjoys superior advantages in de
livering to |m>inth along all the railroad
lines, while river transportation offers in
ducements that can he had no where
else in Georgia, Alabama or Florida.
These facts are incontrovertible and the
merchants of <'oluinbus should use them
to the greatest possible advantage.
Another subject to which we invite the
attention of capitalists and the enterpris
ing citizens of Columbus is that of home
manufacturing of home products, a pro
cess which will make the exports from
the factory grow in proportion with
other exports from field and farm, which
will change a large percentage of the ex
ports of <tcorgin and Alabama to the pro-
dints of skill, the lime oecupid being of
more value than the raw material of
which tin 1 product is composed. Kvery
year sees a larger percentage of the field
products used at home, and the develop
ment of these states will he early assured
by the proper encouragement of institu
tions for the sublimation of home pro
ducts, thus changing in time the character
of tlm exported articles from that which
costs labor for raising, to that which
unites with labor, skill and capital, and
|iays twice the amount for condensation.
There is no reason why this cannot be
done, and a profit all around be thus se
cured. There is no interest in the south
which is being talked of more than that
of manufacturing of such articles as the
soil around them produces, or for which
there exists a local consumptive demand.
We have great hopes in the future of
Columbus. We expect to see this city
furnish all this section of country with
articles of merchandise, and to see the
thirty-five hundred operatives increased
to double that number within the next
five years.
The manual training school at St. Louis
has just graduated a class of forty-five
pupils. The school has met with great
success, and is now warmly endorsed by
manufacturers and others. Its pupils
have entered various trades, and a large
number arc employed by the Missouri
Pacific railway company, whose foreman
of machine shops says that lie would be
glad to have bis shops filled with the
graduates. There lias been similar expe
rience in Philadelphia. There is a real
demand for the boys educated in the me
chanical shops of Girard college, the
Spring Garden institute and the Manual
Training school, in striking contrast to
the lack of such demand for school grad
uates who have received no practical
training. With such potent facts as this,
the commissioners should lose no time in
establishing the technological school pro
vided for by the last legislature.
TJIK BUSINESS OUTLOOK.
The business outlook for the country
continues to grow encouraging. By
common consent general business is im
proving, the grain crops are remarkably
promising and speculation is reviving,
with money abundant at a trifle more
profitable rates than a year ago. The
embargo which labor agitation placed
Upon ;U1 brandies of production is now
proving the mainstay of legitimate val
ues. Stocks of commodities have been
disposed of in the regular daily processes
of consumption without the general
periodic clearing mil sale at ruinous dis
counts, to make way for seasonable pro
ductions. This is peculiarly true of
manufactured goods. The liu-l that labor
may now be depended upon, is encour
aging mill-owners to accept orders foi
lin' rest of the year, and justifies the be
lief that the close of ISHfi will disclose a
gratifying record id industrial expansion
over the three previous years. The peo
ple of Columbus should he ready at times
to foster the interest of the city, and this
they can do by judicious investment. As
long as our business men and other
classes maintain the harmonious concert
of action that now characterizes them,
there is nothing to he feared. The out
look for Columbus was never more solid,
bright, hopeful.
A WORD TO THE l’KOl’I.t: OE ( Ol.l MRUS.
There is no good reason w by Columbus
should not be one of the leading com
mercial as well as leading manufacturing
cities in this state. it could he so if our
mercantile interests are fostered and pro-
Troulili 1 In the Camp.
“On you call yourself a democrat?” asked the
president, addressing a member of the New York
delegation who had voted against Mr. Morrison’s
motion on Thursday, and was, therefore, on the
executive “black-list.”
't’liis is said to have been the first case of at
tempted coercion on the part of President Cleve
land.
The democratic congressman declares that he
resented il on the spot, and Haid in effect that
the Morrison vote had convinced him that party
lines, as they hud existed, were broken; that
“free trade or protection?” was the only issue be
fore the country, and that the sooner some peo
ple in high places recognized that fact the wiser
they would tie.
Wt* doubt if there is much truth in the
question accredited to the. president in
the above Washington special, but it
could have been propounded with the
greatest propriety. This fact is now
making itself very patent to the tariff
followers of Congressman Randall, and
they arc* now demanding a measure from
the Pennsylvanian that will help them
out with their constituents whom they
have deceived. The reason for this is
that they have begun to hear from home,
and the information is that their politi
cal fences are in very bad condition.
Having voted against the consideration
of a bill intended to secure a reduction of
war taxes, a Washington special is au
thority for the statement that they have
waked up to the fact that they have
repudiated the promises of the democrat
ic party in many platforms, and that it
will he difficult for them to explain
to their constituents why they refused to
employ their votes to amend a bill rather
than kill it before it had been considered.
They have made a dead set upon the ally
of the republican protectionists, and have
almost secured a promise from him that
he will introduce a taritf hill of his own.
What that hill is to he no one appears to
know exactly. it is reported to contem
plate increases as well as reductions and
to put forward some propositions for a
reduction of internal revenue taxes. It
is of little consequence what it proposes.
If it is introduced it must go to the ways
| and means committee. If that eominit-
i tee chooses to report it it will come into
the house to open a discussion of the
taritl question, and when that stage is
reached Mr. Randall will have helped to
| bring about precisely the situation sought
l by Mr. Morrison. All his careful man-
l agoment to prevent consideration will
i have been wasted.
j Mr. Randall and those who followed
1 him otf to the republicans hold any
thing else hut an enviable position with
noted with the same energy and enter- j
prise that characterizes the management
of industrial institutions.
In this we have no reference to the re
tail trade, which is second to no city in
tin* south. Nor do wo wish to he under
stood as rellecting upon the merits of the
v holesale establishments already inaugu- .
rated, as they have infused a spirit of on- !
terpviso in their business that is com- :
inendable and that commands the trade!
in a very large territory. Rut we desire
to attract the attention of the people of
Columbus to a matter which is not only I
of vital interest to themselves, but w hich, I
when considered logically and carefully, I
presents an alluring aspect to the invest
or that is not equalled from any other
point in all this country.
This subject is that of our wholesale
trade. The Knqiirfr-Sin published j
statements in regard to the rates of
freight on Sunday last that were un
known to many of our merchants and
many of the business men of Columbus,
and yet these facts have been in ex
istence for more than two years. The
figures develop that merchandise can be
transported from all points north, east i
. al aH f ates of trunsporta-
4 an y rlt y within two hundred ]
democrats. They have been loudly in
sisting that they favored a larilf reform,
and thus they have attempted to mislead
the people and the party. Their votes
show w hat deception they an* practicing,
and even now, on the very heel of de
feating the Morrison bill,they in-i-t that
they are in favor of a taritf reform.
Rut we are told that Mr. Randall w ill
be forced to introduce a hill. No one ex
pects that he w ill introduce a hill or allow
a motion to discuss the Morrison bill to
he discussed in order that he may oiler
his hill as a substitute. If he
is really in earnest in his desire to
secure taritf revision, he could save time
by following the latter plan. Something
must he done to enable some of the men
who voted with him to account for their
undemocratic course and to satify their
constituents that they were representa
tives to he trusted and to be renomi
nated. By their votes each one of them
declared himself to he against a reduc
tion of taxes. It is not to he supposed
for an instant that their constituents will
agree with the position, and they may
give Mr. Randall some trouble by forc
ing him to bring in a bill that will really
I show what he thinks ought to he done
[ with the tariff.
A CIinr •« -
Ihe Savannah New* t>.l.en thin view of the re- j
suit of the man n.eui.ng held in Muscogee i
on Saturday last:
"It is understood that Oen. Gordon prefers a
primary election to a mass meeting. In fact, his j
managers have not lost an opportunity to assert
that Major Bacon is afraid to submit to prima
ries, and depends for success upon mass meet- ,
ings. Whether this assertion is true or not, it is
certain that in Muscogee county last Saturday
the selection of delegates by the mass meeting
which assembled there would have been a good
thing for Gen. Gordon. The meeting was con
vened and would have elected delegates to the
state convention if the locul leaders hud favored
it. The Gordon men had control of the meeting
by a majority of 14. They elected their candidate
for chairman, and could, doubtless, have elected
Gordon delegates. The reason they did not do
so is because of the demand of General Gordon’.'
managers for primaries. It is not improbable
that these managers wish that the people of Mus
cogee had never heard of Gen. Gordon’s prefer
ence for primaries.
"In the main, however, it is probable that pri
maries are beneficial to Gen. Gordon. He has a
way of talking to the people that is calculated to
make friends for him, and it is not too much to
say, probably, that if he succeeds in getting the
nomination his victory will be due largely to his
speeches and his brilliant record as a soldier.”
It May Prove n Rea!it).
The Atlanta Journal is disposed to laugh at the
candidacy of our friend ReviJi, as the following
facetious article will attest:
“Among the genuinely humoristic features of
the present gubernatorial campaign is the sub
lime heroism displayed by editor Revill, of the
Meriwether Vindicator. He has asserted from
the start that the fates have decreed that he ;
shall be governor of Georgia, and lie says he will j
fight it out on that line if it takes him all sum
mer. Taking advantage of the canard that Gor- j
don aud Bacon are to be laid aside and a third ,
candidate is to be taken up, editor Revill, with a
blush whose brilliant redness would make a June !
rose turn pale with envy, remarks: ‘We have j
told our friends all the while we were sure to
come in. We are large enough for the party to
harmonize upon.’ We are in doubt which to ad
mire most, the simple, child-like faith of this |
‘Lone Fisherman’ of the campaign, or the sub- ,
lime picture of self-sufficient assurance which •
with undismayed persistency blows its penny ,
whistle in the very teeth of a swirling cyclone.”
Archibald Forbes shows his good sense in
marrying an American girl. He is a thorough
cosmopolitan who has traveled around the globe
several times and been a sojourner in all lands,
yet when he wants a wife he turns his longing
eyes to where the stars and stripes proudly flap j
in the breezes. He knowe that the American
young woman has not her equal in the world.
The 1 in k of ex-President Hayes is phenome
nal. His barnyard has never been visited by i
chicken cholera, poultry continues in strong de- !
maud, and there are no unfavorable fluctuations j
in the egg market. As if fortune had nothing to |
withhold from the ex-president, a reservoir of !
natural gas has been discovered on his farm and j
thus the problem of cheap fuel for heating chicken
feed is solved.
The Inter-Ocean savs that the Chicago an- j
archists and bomb-throwers don’t care to have i
their trials in the courts until the funerals of the ;
wounded policemen are through with. The
sound of dirge and muffled drums coming to the
ears of a jury is a dangerous argument. It may
be possible in time to get a jury stolid aud igno
rant enough to send the accused out free men,
but the probabilities point the other way.
A Floridian shipped six crates of beans to New
York; gross receipts, 25 cents. Next time he will
know better and send them to Boston, where
"they know beans."
An English dramatic critic, writing of Irving
as Mephistoplieles and Miss Terry as Marguerite,
says that the latter’s face is as frill of heaven as
the former’s is of the other place.
Tub fact remains that Boston is a literal} J
center. The postoffice of that city yields the •
government every y< ar in round numbers j
#3,000.000.
They held an election down in Santiago the
other uay, and when the polls were closed Dirm-
tor, the leader of one party, and forty others, .ay
dead on the streets, while the hospitals were i
filled with the injured. The result is not an
nounced, but the first returns look like a great .
democratic victory.
IIeur Most’s associates have carried his
pestiferous newspaper over into New Jersey, and I
now mingle their cries for blood with the roar of .
the -sanguinary Jersey mosquitoes. New Yorkers i
are glad of it. They never did like New Jersey!

CHARLES O. SHERIDAN.
This gentleman, the senior member of
(lie firm of Sheridan Bros., fresco artists
and decorators, of Atlanta, Ga., is a gen
uine yankee by birth, but a southerner by
choice and adoption. Born in tlie puri
tan city of Providence, It. I., 31 years ago,
at an early age lie turned his attention to
art. lie is by nature an artist, and bis
years of study and tuitiim in eastern cities
have developed him into one of tlie fore
most young decorators of his time. Some
years ago he came south to decorate the
interior of the Church of the Imaculate
Conception, at Atlanta, and, liking the
people and climate, determined to locate
south of Mason and Dixon’s line. Since
then he has been joined by his brothers,
F. R. and George, and churches and fine
dwellings in every principal city of tlie
south attest their ability, energy and en
terprise.
“My system,” said Mr. Sheridan during
a recent conversation, “had been for some
time
GRADUALLY RUNNING DOWN,
“I was not sick, in a general sense of
the word, but my physical strength was
feeling the severe strain I had been for
years putting upon it in tlie active men
tal labor necessary in the pursuit of my
avocation. While I have not what is
termed a delicate constitution, I am by
no means a robust fellow, and have what
might lie called the ‘New England mold,’
physically. For some time past I bud
been losing vigor, when my attention
was called to Hunnicutt’s Rheumatic Cure
as a tonic and strengthener of tlie sys
tem. I began using it about four weeks
ago and since that time have gained eight
and a half pounds in weight. My blood
is as pure as spring water and my entire
system revitalized. I have no hesitancy
in saying that it is the best general tonic
upon tlm market to-day.”
JUDGE THOMAS PULI.UM,
now in his three score and ten years, and
one of the most prominent nxeii in Geor
gia, born and raised near Union Springs,
Ala., where lie amassed quite a fortune
by strict integrity and honesty, and in
later vears connected witli tlie wholesale
drug house of Pemberton, Pullum & Co.,
of Atlanta, Ga., and now a citizen of that
city, said a few days ago in the presence
of a reporter:
“My wife had been for many years a
constant sufferer from rheumatism. Her
joints were swollen and distorted, great
knots had formed upon her hand. She
could only witli great difficulty and pain
manage to walk, and was a constant suf
ferer from this dreadful disease. We
tried everything we could read or hear
of, and took advice of eminent practi
tioners without any benefit in tlie way of
permanent relief. I was induced to try
Hunnieutt’s Rheumatic Cure a short time
ago,
ALTHOUGH I HAD LOST FAITH
in all patent medicines and nostrums and
considered her case incurable.
“The effect was magical; the pains have
entirely vanished; the swelling and dis
tortion of tier joints has disappeared, and
the disease lias been, I verily believe,
eradicated from her system. She is still
using tlie medicine as a precautionary
measure, and her general good health is
being restored by it. I can honestIv and
fearlessly recommend Hunnicutt’s Rheu
matic Cure as the best medicine for rheu
matism aud the blood upon the market. ’
