As he was about to take hin seat he
«nid: "I have been asked whether I am
in favor of prohibition or license. Id
not hesitate to state where my position
is. My lieurt favors prohibition. M\
stomach favors license. You gentlemen
of the general assembly all have heartl
and stomachs, and you know which way
I’ll be likely to go.”
This announcement was received with
storms of applause, and both sides were
delighted witti Vance’s committal, He
was returned to the senate of course.
Vorilv, for a safe pilot between the nar
rows of Sevlia and Charybdis, take a
politician every time.
Thb August a Chronicle says: “Atlanta is jeo
pardizing every came she plays with Hogan. He
was blacklisted for dishonorable conduct, and the
blacklist will so hold. He failed to put in an ap
pearance in Charleston when he was most need
ed by the club, and skipped out of Augusta owing
everybody he could, his hotel, the tailor and all
the members of the club that he could stick.”
If clubs in the league and out of it de
sire to raise base hall toa higher plane,
it would he well to do away with men
like Hogan. An organization that prizes
muscle above morals will soon be noted
for its muscle instead of its morals. What
credit is it to a club to win laurels by
employing a man who has the principles
of a jail bird and the conscience of a con
vict? Base ball in the south has over
been an innocent and interesting amuse
ment. If it cannot reach a high(?) stand
ard of development without employing
men like Hogan, we say let it remain
undeveloped. Unfortunately, many of
the professional base lmllists who come
down from the great cities of the north
to improve our playing at so touch a
year, savor as much of the criminal as
they do of the athletic.
KO lUNUKIt FROM IN INDEPENDENT.
The attempt being made by some of
the organs which supported Major Bacon
for the gubernatorial nomination to
create the impression that a serious revolt
in the democratic ranks is threatened by
the success of General Gordon is abso
lutely absurd, to say the least of it. The
man who receives the nomination of the
democratic party for governor of (teorgia
is as sure to be elected*as the sun is to
rise and set cm the day of the election.
Thatthere maybe some dissatisfaction
among those who followed Major Bacon
with partisan blindness, no one will
deny. But what will this disaffection
amount to? If it could not make itself
felt in the primaries it certainly can
not do so in the election. There
are doubtless some men in Geor
gia who might follow after u
strange god, but the majority of those
who gave Major Bacon their support in
the primaries are good men and true
democrats, who will heartily support the
party nominee. This attempt by a dis
gruntled few to “boom” the idea that an
independent candidate may he elected
in Georgia might deceive a man nt a dis
tance, but nobody here in the state will
lie alarmed by it. The large majorities
received by General Gordon in the coun
ties which spoke in his favor settles be
yond a doubt that he is the choice of a
majority of the people, and woe be unto
the man who would dare to defy the
will of that majority as ex
pressed in the primaries. The
democratic party of Georgia is not yet in
such a had plight as some people attempt
to picture it. That terrible “Atlanta
ring” which is said to he corrupting the
whole body politic is merely a mythical
creation which bobs up or down at the
bidding of the people. Georgia is yet
safely democratic and thoroughly organ
ized. Let the man who doesn’t believe
this assertion attempt to disprove it, and
he will be convinced of its truth to his
own sorrow.
YOU CAST CATCH THEM.
It takes a politician to steer safely
between Scvlla and Charybdis, between
committal and non-committal on a live
issue. On Monday last Hon. Thomas
Seay, democratic candidate for governor
of Alabama, was delivering a campaign
speech in the opera house at Anniston.
In the course of his speech he said that
he thought the prohibition question
should not be intermingled with politics.
At tiiis juncture an old gentleman arose
and asked Mr. Seay if he was a "wet or
dry.” Advancing to the edge of t he
platform, Mr. Seay replied : “Standing
here with the brilliant record of the
party behind me, with my face toward
the dawn and the sunrise of the coming
glories of our matchless state, I answer
this direct question with this response:
’I am a democrat.’ ” [Immense cheering.]
Senator Zeb Vance was once guilty of
something similar and even more inge
nious. The legislature had met to elect
a senator, and Vance was a candidate for
re-election. The whisky question was
being agitated througout the state, and
the "prohibs” and "anti’s” were about
equally divided in the general assembly.
Vance was invited to make an address
before the joint assembly, and he had
been informed by both “prohibs” and
“antis” that lie would have to commit
himself to one side or the other. Vance
made a long and brilliant speech with*
mg sneiDE season.
There were four suicides in New York
last Sunday. Statistically speaking, there
were three more titan there ought to
have been in proportion to the popula
tion. Correctly speaking, there were four
more than there ought to have been in
proportion to the population, Suicide
is ever suggestive of something
morbid in the body politic. An
An epidemic of suicides like that in Now
York on Sunday is worth attention both
for moral and remedial reasons.
It is worthy of notice that suicidal ten
dencies rise a.id fall with the thermome
ter. Hot weather is the heyday of self-
destruction. This is an excellent prem
ise to match the conclusion that phy
sical conditions enter largely into the
prime cause of self-murder. This fact
does not merit more than the hare asser
tion. It is aximotic. The spectacle of a
perfectly healthy man with no desire to
live is almost unthinkable. Still many
men in moderately good health lmve tak
en their own lives. In such cases however,
the environments are such as
to render life under any cir
cumstances unbearable. But why is it
that very warm weather lias always
been most prolific of suic’de? There are
various reasons, superficial and hidden.
In warm weather the nerves are more
taut and susceptible of a shock; the blood
is more sluggish; the hepatic secretions
are more foul, and consequently more
enervating; and the entire system is
more apt, than at any other time, to he
hilo-sutfusod and choleric. With out
side influences to assist, these physical
conditions may easily create an incura
ble despondency and a sequent surfeit of
Tfe.
But after all, the questions of tempera
ment and teaching are the real factors in
forming the integral of suicide. Tem
perament is a tremendous element in
creating a character and directing its des
tiny. What is “temperament” anyhow ?
Xo dictionary ever did successfully de
fine it. Xo dictionary ever will. The
term temperament is rather an attempt
at the expression of an idea than the ex
pression of the idea itself. Still it is gen
erally, if vaguely, understood. We hear
of people who are born with silver
spoons in their mouths. A vastly greater
multitude are horn with blue spectacles
on. With them the world is hung in
crape, and the laughing silver music of
the spheres is a dirge. With them a skull
and cross-bones is a brighter ornament
than a bouquet. If they sing, the refrain
is a wftil, if they preach, it is a gospel of
gloom. These people are not malcon
tents; they are martyrs of temperament.
And it is not difficult for such morbid
creatures to persuade themselves that
the hereafter is an improvement on the
present. To this conviction suporadd
some sudden calamity, and you have
a ripe candidate for suicide.
Education, as already intimated, is a
potent factor in determining a man’s
views upon the sanctity of human life—
whether it be his own or another’s. Tub
many are taught, and too many come to
believe without teaching, that there is no
system of rewards 'and punishments in
the other life. In these latter days of
degeneracy and shame, great preachers—
as the world sees them—have made
modern rams’horns of their throats, and
have laid low the walls of the New Jeru
salem, giving over the holy city
as an inheritance to murderers,
and thieves, and adulterers, and
"whosoever loveth and maketli a lie.”
With tlie conviction once gained that
the bliss and beatitudes of a better
world are open to all alike, irrespective
of character, is it any wonder that men
grow restless of the clay that imprisons
them here, and throwing it oft’ with
their own hands, join the innumerable
caravan of fools who rush in where
angels fear to tread.- When men art-
convinced that the issues of the next
world are a blank or a game of chance, the
sense of responsibility in providing against
them is either diminished or destroyed.
The climax of the whole matter is just
tiiis : Suicide is the child of infidelity.
The death ,'11111110(1 to in the Bible was
not death by our own hand. .lob’s mind
was far removed from self-destruction,
mighty as were his troubles, when he
said, “The day of a man’s death is better
than the day of his birth; and though
after this skin worm devour our bodies,
yet in the flesh we shall see God.”
It is natural as gravitation for the soul
that is oppressed to look about it for an
avenue of escape or relief. Escape is
suicide; relief is the looking to a higher
power. Xo calamity can make life un
endurable to the man who seeks relief
by fleeing and surrendering to Him
whose shadow is brighter than focalized
suns. This life is a battle
at best. In marching through it, we
have to face tempests oftener than we
find flowers. Every day is a programme
of wounds and bruises; and every night
is barren of bulm and oil. Is it any won
der, then, 11,t humanity choruses the
erv, “Is there no balm in Gilead? I-
tliere no p ysician there?"
There is one physician. He hangs tin
universe on His arm, and feeds its va-
family at His table. He sympathize
with his patients as no other physician
can. For “He was bruised for our in
iquities, He wits wounded for our tran.-
gressions, the chastisement of our peace
was upon Him; and with His stripe -
we are Healed.” With him there i-
-afetv from suicide.

CLEVELAND’S
STRIKE A MONO CONVICTS,
Our midnight dispatches last night, a- j
will he seen in another colump, an- i
nounced that the penitentiary convinct- j
in Governor Brown’s Hade county coni i
mines had struck. Strictly speaking a
convict cannot strike, as the term strike
in this contest carries with it the idea of
a demand either for higher wages or
shorter hours based upon the personal
liberty of the striker. The element oi
personal liberty which is tin* basis of a
bona fide strike is wanting in a convict.
But the question of the moral right to j
strike is not to be considered in dealing '
with those men, unless,'perchance, they !
have struck against inhuman treatment ,
instead of hard work. There is no evi-j
denceor report to that effect, however.
There is little doubt that the prevail
ing disquiet in labor circles everywhere
lias reached and affected these convicts.
It is a telling rebuke to the leaders of
the many uncalled-for strikes of late, tln.t
their spirit should he caught up tty con
victs—men who have everything to gain
and nothing to lose by anarchy. This
strike (?) of the Hade coal mine convicts
is a ludicrous travesty on uncalled-for
strikes in general. By this we mean
strikes which attempt to enforce
unreasonable demands and which
are supplemented by riots. For men
who receive miserable wages to Strike is
n right if not a policy. For men who re
ceive moderate wages, to strike may lie
sensible if there is a hope of doing bet
ter. But for men who went into their
present employment (?) knowing . they
were to receive nothing when they did
work, and forty lashes when they
didn’t, to strike for better wages, borders
on tlie realm of travesty. These
men should have remembered tlie hard
conditions of a convict life and the utter
■impossibility of a successful strike among
convicts when they were tempted to
commit tlie crimes that brought them
where they are. ,loe Brown lias
“wiped the ground” with the
democratic party once or twice,
and tie lias mano-uvred legislatures
with a master hand ; and hut a few days
ago, he outgeneraled a large portion of
tlie United States senate in a tilt over an
appropriation. To the keepers anil
guards at tlie Dade county mines, who-
read the Exqitpbk-Su.n as regular us it is
printed, we have this one word of ad
vice: Just wait till Uncle Joseph ge's
there.

I have made a very careful analysis of
CLEVELAND'S SUPERIOR BAKING POWDER,
bought from grocers in this city, and have found it to be per
fectly pure, and manufactured from the best quality of Cream
of Tartar and other materials. It is entirely free from Alum,
Acid Phosphates, Terra Alba and other substances, which are
frequently used for the manufacture and adulteration of Baking
Powders ; and on account of its purity and healthful constitu
ents deserves to be highly recommended.

A young man of Crest on, Iowa, is not so pretty
now, but he knows more. He tried to break u
mustang pony and the pony bucked. When
picked up it was found that his led shoulder
blade was broken and one ear torn completely .
off.—Exchange.
That was very good for a mustang pony; but |
when you compare a mustang pony to a Georgia j
mule, it is as moonlight is to sunlight or as water i
is to wine. A Muscogee county farmer claims
that he was recently breaking a youug mule. A i
stalwart negro man mounted the mule in the i
middle of the lot and the spectators mounted t he
fence. The mule began to buck and dance at t’ •
same time. A cloud of dust enveloped him and
•his rider, and unearthly noises came from the j
midst of tlie dust cloud. When cloud of dust I
cleared away the mule was quietly eatiug out of
the trough in his stall, and one of the negro's!
knit suspenders was wrapped tightly around his
left hind leg. No other portion of the negro has
yet been discovered. Mustang ponies will please i
