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. WEDNESDAY MORNIHG, JULY 14, 1886. 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. BAKINS POWDER DESERVES TO BE HISHLY RECOMMENDED. 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.

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 take a back seat. will take place at Athletic tween the newspaper reporters and railroad agents.
