Remorse for his ill-treatment of his
wife, and shame because of his inability
to make good 11is promise to a depraved
woman, are the causes assigned for the
suicide in I’ittshuig of a commercial man
fifty years old. Such conflicting and
utterly illogical causes of influences very
often go together. This man was not
ashamed to ill-treat his wife, and had no
remorse on that account until he expe
rienced the other shame of being unable
to fulfill his promise to a harlot. Then
even in his manner and place of killing
himself he added to the humiliation of
the-wile whom he had already treated so
badly the shame and disgrace of taking
his life in a house of had repute. Sensi
bilities of the kind that man possessed
might as well go unnamed. They are
affected, or the more he has of them the
worse man he is.
TIIE ltlSI.NKSS MU UTON.
The conclusion that one must form
from a careful reading of the commercial
journals of the country is that alfair.- are
drifting hack to the prosperity preceding
till' labor troubles. (>ne of these cotem
poraries tells ns that improvement in
general business is a practical reali
ty in almost every civilized country.
With America it is undoubtedly
more widespread and apparent than j
elsewhere, .''till a health and vigor have i
lately made thenis'elves felt amoiie Brit
ish industries that give positive assur
ance of a lasting prosperity to the busi
ness interests of (treat Britain. (in the
continent, too, recuperation from the de
pressing period of over-production and
shrinking values grows more marked all
the time. The wealth of every export
ing country at least must of necessity
fluctuate with the material well
being and contingent purchas
ing power of foreign nations. The pros-j
ent activity in our cotton and the higher .
prices and better demand for our wool ,
are largely due to the revival of the
manufacturing interests of Fugland and
the continent. This universal resumption
of the production of commodities is now j
just developing after several years of
curtailment and absolute loss. Consump- J
tion has been the sole source of demand, )
and is likely to be so for some time to
come.
Tlie l ovements of merchandise with
us tlie past week have been moderate, !
but when compared with the same week I
own. The former had made the asser
tion that Columbus laid done more in
the way of progress since the war than
■ my other ettv in this state. The latter
held ii]> Atlanta as an illustration of
• oiitliern enterprise and progress, and
nentionod other cities that he believed
had done nine than Columbus to regain
the lost fortunes brought about by the
war.
But the ('olumlnis man was right. Few
| people, outside this immediate vicinity,
understand to what terrible straits the
citizens here were subjected. The year
1 slid brought anything else than promises
to the people here, and the business of
that dark year opened to Columbus the
darkest of any in her history. While
all her neighboring cities had large
quantities of cotton upon which to build
a business, the cotton of this city was in
ashes. That year, I Slid, saw eight cot
ton mills, sixty thousand cotton hales
worth sixty cents a pound, and the
industries of the second manufacturing
city in the confederacy destroyed bv the
torcii of tlie federal army. At that time
the town seemed doomed, and the peo
ple were almost despairing and hopeless.
Meat, for the want of money, was taken
for railroad fare ; railroads were broken ;
bridgee across the river burned, and
there was no employment to he had.
Her money gone, her mills swept away,
there was nothing left her but a pluck
and vim that could not lie put down at
the bidding. The Eagle and I’henix
managers commenced the rebuilding of
their manufactory, others caught hope,
and the result is seen now in a flourish
ing city with no thanks to foreign men
or foreign capital.
Can any other city in Georgia, or in
Alabama, say as much? True, Atlanta
lias prospered and flourished “like a
green hay .tree,” and all Columbus re
joices in her prosperity, hut how was it
brought aboutWere not the citizens of
Atlanta aided by northern capital, which
flowed in unstintedly? Have not all the
other prominent cities of Georgia enjoyed
the benefits of foreign capital? Let it
not he understood that we are objecting
to this—we like it, and would bo glad to
see several millions poured into Colum
bus at once—but we are merely referring
to what lias been done by home enter
prise.
What are the facts as we now find
them? Left almost destitute in 28(15,
Columbus now boasts of her ten cotton
and woolen in dig, with a capital of nearly
two and a half millions, giving employ
ment to more than three thousand hands
and consuming twenty thousand hales of
cotton annually. We have one mill
which makes a hundred styles of goods
and have five? different institutions mak
ing colored goods in the city. The very
number oft'oiumlms brands is attractive
and an advertisement for the
city. We to-day have the only
bagging factory in (icorgia, the largest
iron works south of Richmond, a large
fertilizer factory and oil mill, a barrel
factory, tvv o ice factories and a clothing
factory. I fere wc have the most won-,
derful water power of the state. We lead
all southern cities in manufacturing. The I
leading colored goods mill of America is
a Columbus institution. Our public
schools are equal to the best. Late addi
tions to both the colored and white de
partments give ample facilities for free
education to the whole people, Our
population lias increased ’>0 per cent, in
the last decade, and to-day more im
provements are in process than over
before known. The city’s debt lias been
placed into an easy and comfortable
shape, and no creditor loses, nor any tax
payer sutlers with onerous levies. We
point with pride to vvhut has been done
in Columbus as a refutation of the unjust
assertion that the people of the south are
tlirift less.
long addled.
The people are not fools. Whether
they do or do not “take the papers,”
they are very quick to learn, for them
selves, the real merits of the situation,
and to j nit down a good deal of the ugly
talk against the chief magistrate at its
real worth. Politician-do not lend them,
-o much as they think they do. The
only accusation that has any effect —and
there is some real cause for this—is the
slow way in which ollicial changes have
been made. More should he made.
The democrats are certainly in right
and justice entitled to half of the offices;
we should sav, to a little more. But the
president moves deliberately; lie exam
ines every case—so far as he can, and he
does not mean to make unfit appoint- j
meats—nor many even that are lit, till j
the incumbent's term expires. If the in-
cumbent has given officially any cause '
for being removed the removal is j
promptly made; hut few are removed for j
party reasons, though democrats are se- i
looted to succeed them when the time |
for which they were appointed expires-SJ j
Tho Tnylor County Vote.
The vote in Tuylor county last Saturday evinces j
in strong terms the popularity of Hon. T. W. |
Grimes in that section. The Butler Herald states j
that on account of the farmers being very busy |
not so largo a vote was polled as might have been I
expected. As it was Mr. Grimes received nearly J
ten to one votes over tlie higher candidate. i
The total of the vote was: Grimes 403, Harris J
41, Freeman 12, while some one complimented I
Hon. Henry Persous with a vote. This shows in j
what esteem Mr. Gtinres is held in a runty j
where he is well known, as Taylor county is in j
the judicial circuit of which lie is solicitor- j
general.
If we are to take tlie Talbotton New Era as !
authority, tile vote for Mr. Grimes will be almost j
as strong in Talbot county as it was in Taylor, j
We publish an article elsewhere which makes the )
statement that Talbot is practically solid for tile |
Muscogee statesman. The enthusiastic manner
in which he is supported by the counties in this
end of the district almost robs Muscogee of any
individual claim, but as he is to lie tlie congress
man for the entire district, this is a matter of
secondary consideration and we cheerfully sub
mit.
Nsw York dealers in fireworks say that the
money expended for these articles this year will
amount to $3,000,000, and nearly half tlie sum
will go for firecrackers. These are all imported
from China and Jupan, which countries have a
monopoly of the article, owing to the cheapness
of their labor. In set pieces and great displays
by municipalities and on lawns and in gardens,
America has the entire field to herself. New York
city does almost all this business. There is a
greater demand this year for expensive works
than at any time since 1876, owing to various cen
tennial celebrations.
When Senator Logan set s tlie Ohio papers he |
will probably "go to his tent and lie down in de- I
spair." It is not likely that he will paint with |
black and cut off his hair, as the poem says, but
those who linger near the tent will hear tue
melancholy strains of “Logan’s Lament” come!
floating on the breeze—"Who will weep for
Logan now?"
“There are ten men sent for, for clerkships, to |
every one woman," said Civil Service Commi. - I
sioner Edgerton on Saturday, "in rooms of the j
departments absolutely no requisitions come to j
us for women, and very few are demanded any- 1
where. The result is that women stand almost i
no show at al! to be appointed.”
It is not often that a carpet becomes more j
valuable witli use, but one uiut had been used on j
the floor of the assay mg room of the branch mint
in San Francisco proved a bonanza on being !
burned. A brick of gold and silver weighing be
tween nineteen and twenty pounds, and worth
$3223, was obtained from tlie ashes.
Emiukation from Germany has greatly de- !
creased during the past year. In April, the I
mouth in which emigration is generally greatest,
the number was only 10,442, as against 20,022 last -
year. The development of Germany’s foreign
trade lias been remarkable, and undoubtedly
tends to produce satisfaction at home.
The senate will perpetrate a mistake of large !
dimensions if it pins the Hennepin canal job to
tile river and harbor bit.
Official Expressions—■“ Royal” found to be the
only absolutely pure baking powder.-
Governor Hill, of New York (says a reporter of the N. 7
Tribuiu), says: “ I have been astonished lately at tho extent of the
adulteration of food. It would seem that every thing we eat is adul
terated. * * This adulteration of groceries is becoming a na
tional evil—one that wc shall have to adopt severe means to check.”
The machinery of the law cannot bo put at work too speedily or
too vigorously against this wholesale adulteration of the things we eat.
Both the health and the pockets of the people demand protection.
There is no article of food in general use more wickedly adul
terated than baking powder. The New York State Board of Health
has analyzed 84 different brands purchased in the State, and found
most of them to contain alum or lime, many to such an extent as to
render them seriously objectionable for use in food.
The 6ale of adulterated baking powders lias been prohibited by
statute in several States. It will be in the interests of tlie public
health when their sale is made a misdemeanor everywhere, and the
penalties of tlie law are rigidly enforced.
The only baking powder yet found by ehemPil analysis to be
entirely free from lime and absolutely pure is tho “Royal.” This
perfect purity results from the exclusive use of cream of tartar
specially refined and prepared by patent processes, which totally
remove from it the tartrate of lime and other impurities. The cost
of this chemically pure cream of tartar is much greater than any
other. The high grade of the Royal Baking Powder has been fully
established by official chemists.
Prof. Love, who made the analyses of baking powders for tho
New York State Board of Health, as well as for the Government,
certifies to the purity and wholesomeness of the “ Royal.”
Prof. II. A. Mott, late Government chemist, says: “ It is a
scientific fact that the Royal Baking Powder is absolutely pure.”
Dr. E. II. Bartley, chemist of the Brooklyn Department of
Health, says (April 2-1, 1885): “ I have recently analyzed samples
of the Royal Baking Powder, purchased by myself in the stores
of this city, and find it free from lime in any form.”
Prof. McMurtkie, chief chemist U. S. Department of Agri
culture, Washington, D. C.,says: “The chemical tests to which I
have submitted the Royal Baking Powder prove it perfectly
healthful, and free from every deleterious substance.” <‘ f
Bread, cake, biscuits, etc., prepared with Royal Baking Powder
will be lighter, sweeter, and more wholesome than if made with
any other baking powder or leavening agent.

“My wife had been for many years a

the disease has been, I verily believe,
eradicated from her system. She is still
using the medicine as a precautionary
