It in pretty generally conceded that Mr. Blaine is already master of the re publican situation. The title of "master” in this sense is about the only one the grand old party is able to confer. * CoL Gilder, of the New York Herald, das set out to find the north pole. Almost simultaneous with this voyage, Black .lack Logan starts out in search of the {presidency. There’s a cold day some where ahead for both. Just leave off the two last words in that aeuteoco, and the trutli will be too patent fhr axgninent. They would make a hard ticket—the hardest kind of a hard, ticket. Gisronimo, according to news received (tom captured hostilcs, is lying in the Sierra Mad res badly wounded. Now we are certain the hoys in blue havo no Ibngct any excuse. Yes, here’s our chance. It. most have been a beautiful sight to have seen senator Mahono opposing the confirmation of John Goode as solicitor general on the ground that he had taken part in ballot-box stulling. It is gener ally thought in Virginia that what Mu- lione don't know about lull lot-box stuff ing is not worth knowing. Tub Nesv Orleans States thinks that Georgia has produced more* distinguished newspaper exaggerates than any other state in the union. Il is is no fault of the States, however, that Louisiana stands second to Georgia. Jules Verne and Munchausen and Ananias and Sap phire could sit at the feet of the States like little children and learn the ento- olusrn of prevaricating. Hon. Tiiomas W. Gkimks only lacked one dozen votes of receiving every vote oast in Marion county at the primary election. This shows Marion’s apprecia tion of merit and ability. Talbot speaks to-morrow and, unless we are much mis taken, her voice will he cipmlly as en thusiastic for the brillumt young states man from Muscogee. Mark the predic tion: Tom Grimes w ill he the next con gressman from the fourth district. I’lin Atlanta (.'.'institution approves of Joaquin Miller’s determination to give ap writing poetry. There are frequent instances of lute w here it has been known that the country was with the Consti- tut in first, last, anil all the time. As we contemplate Joaquin bidding farewell to pen try. we are attempted to utter a few Hurrahs. The move is a good one for Joaquin and a better one for the public. Could not Mr. Miller be induced to quit writing prose also, ami thus win b:e k the friends he lias lost V riWMM D0WR8. Parson Downs is again in trouble, and this timo it looks very serious. A young l.nly member of his church has had him arrested under a charge of bastardy and lie has been required to give bond for his appearance to nnswer the charge. Whether the parson is really guilty is a question to be settled by the courts and not by public opinion. For the sake of bis profession we hope that Parson Downs may he able to prove his inno- eenee. Such scandals arc, alas, too frequent, and the world seems to hear pfthem with open and credulous cars. But we must remember that the parson has already defiled his garments, and it may be that this young lady has charged him with this crime liecause she sup posed the public would accept it as true and that as her seducer was her own minister her crime might thereby be mitigated. There are no doubt many who will he disposed to lay upon the head of the parson, not only his sin, but also the sin of his victim, and in their anxiety to punish the seducer will pass by the of fense of the seduced. And doubtless his guilt is all the greater because of his call ing, for he not only brings himself, hut to some extent, the ministry into dis grace. But we desire to caution our readers against forming a too hasty ver dict of guilty because the man charged is the pastor and the girl is a member of his flock. Bather let us regard his guilt as the more improbable because of their very relations, and not believe it to be true until the evidence is heard. In justice to the accused parson we allow him to speak for himself: “You will And before long that there are two aides to this story. You have heard their Hide; now wait until you hear mine before you pass judgment upon me. Nothing that they have yet done has caused mo so much pain as this. There are certain features in this case that almost crush me when I think of them. I do not care for the arraignment in court; and as for the conse quences I never give a thought. If I was con victed and sentenced to-morrow it would not make me feel worse than I do now. In tho other matter it was different. I expected nothing before from them, but in this 1 can well appreciate the feelings Washington must have hud when lie learned that Arnold wuh a traitor. It makes me feel terribly, and I am al most unmanned. When Ctesar found that Itru- tus was liis assailant he was so shocked and pained that he was powerless to defend himself. 1 can not light against a woman as 1 would a man and you can appreciate the position I am placed in. Hut let them bring on their charges. 1 can probably live through them all.” A Ijl'KKIl IIOVCUTT. From the Li union Simulnrd we learn of rather nst range use of the boycott, which seems to have been cstahlishcil in Africa asa retaliatory measure. Thu German government have established a trading post al Cameroon,u town near the mouth of the Gaboon river, for the purpose of trailing with the natives. This proceed ing having met with opposition, the Gor mans, its hits too often been the ease when enlightened nations have a cause of quarrel with the ignorant, bombarded the town and destroyed the houses as well as the plantations of the natives. I n this condition of a Hairs, tin* natives, unable to light.hnve boycotted the whites of all nal ions, and refuse not only to trade hut also to supply them with food. No white man can buy a fowl or n bullock, and the natives have barred the way to the fresh water, so that the whites have to depend upon rain for all the water they require. Large, numbers of the lactories. as the trading houses are called, up the river, are closed, and theeniplnyes have been sent home. The people on both sides of the river have combined, and as their property lias been already destroyed bv the Germans, they hil\ port rather than burden the nation with, the support of the entire union army. The only qualiil xitions required are that the applicant has served sixty day* ditjing the Mexican war and is sixty-two years old. Now if every such soldier should re ceive a pension, why not give one to ev ery soldier who has served sixty days and is sixty-two years old? No reason cun be given why a discrimination should lie made in favor of the Mexican wnr. So that if this bill is passed we consider every member of congress bound to the principle, and to he consistent he must support a bill to pension all soldiers un der the same circumsiances. Those who joined the union army in 1864 were mainly over forty years of age, and as twenty-two years have passed there are now many more of that class ever sixty-two than of the Mexican war. Kach year will add to the number until within the next twenty years every survivor of the union army will he home upon the pension rolls. How do the working men of the United States like this prospect ? Where is the possibility much less probability of a re duction of taxes, either internal or cus toms? Are those who serve, only for sixty days, and are now as strong and able to work as ever, to be supported the balance of their lives?

We would tike to have the question answered for the bene fit of some of our Americus businessmen who thiuk that trade must of necessity travel down stream or to the east.—Americus Recorder. In is the easiest thing in the world to tall “why cotton should persist in going up the river tol’oluinbus instead of down the river to Fufaula.” Coin minis pays the hast prices for it. and the biggest money brings the cotton whether it has to-go up or down stream. Ask us somo- 13ling harder. ATKINSON’S FltKAK. When it was known that President Cleveland had vetoed the bill providing for a United States court house at Ashe ville, North Carolina, a man named N. Atkinson sent him the following tele gram : “Having sent you several invitations to come to Buncombe county, believing you to be a wise and just man, and having found out that you are neither, all the invitations are withdrawn.” Having learned of the dispatch being sent Mayor Aston and many other promi nent citizens held a meeting and tele graphed Mr. Cleveland that Atkinson’s insulting words represented no one but himself and that in spite of liis veto Asheville and North Carolina were solid for him on his gen eral record. If there is a hole anywhere small enough Atkinson ought to crawl into it and camp with the ground moles a century or two. Any man who will in sult the president of the United .States simply to gain notoriety fatigues con tempt. Unfortunately pression by tbe -li instances of op- superior nl the inferior races are too frequent. The poor Africans of course, are not only helpless them selves, but without friends amongst the strong nations to light their battles or to plead their cause. They can only injure their enemies by the boycott, and as public opinion can licit her reach nor effect them, we suppose they will carry it on until their enemies arc tired of the con test and leave the country to which they have gone without invitation and have attempted to rule with force. nil until: ui mi: WKittii:. **lf we apprehend the Mexican pension bill correctly, it gives a pension to every person who was in the service of the United States, during the Mexican war, fora period of sixty days, irre spective of any physical disability or need of a pension. “This is utterly wrong in principle. Every citi zen owes military service to the country, and no one is entitled to a pension for rendering that service. It is the duty of the country to provide for him if be be disabled in the service of his country, or in consequence of such service. But beyond that we should not go. “The democratic supporters of the Mexican pension bill will find that this pleasant vice of theirs will soon become a whip to scourge them. It will be a precedent for a demand for a pension for every man who was in the service of the United States during the civil war.—Charleston News and Courier. We heartily endorse the sentiments of our contemporary as both wise and j politic. As a large number of the Mexi can soldiers were from South Carolina, it cannot he supposed that the News and , Courier has any objection to granting ' them pensions. But it is so evident time the passage of this bill will be but the “edge of the wedge” towards granting a pension to every soldier of the union army, that we think it better that the few survivors of the Mexican Avar should depend upon their own efforts for sup- tion, and we hope that congress will not pass any such bill. Birmingham. July 12.—A Mrs. Wilcox, wife of a mechanic living out in the far edge of the South Side, attempted suicide yesterday, domes tic unhappineHH being the cause. Her husband has been threatening to leave her. Yesterday morning, while he was away, she put a rope round her neck, tied it to a rafter, and pimped off a chair, but he happened to come in in time to cut her down not much hurt. A little later she got a razor, determined to cut her throat, but it ■was taken from her. In the afternoon she took morphine and overdosed herself, but the doctor soon brought her to. It seems to us that Mrs. Wilcox is trying to leave her husband instead of his trying to leave her. If it is separation from her husband that makes life unendurable, it would be well for her to remember that when she is dead and he is still alive they will have very little communion with each other. Having made a three-fold fail ure with a rope, a razor and a dose of morphine, it really looks as if Mrs. Wilcox is not going to make a widower of her husband right away. The Columbus Enqcirer-Sun is now one of the best papers in the south. There have been great improvements in Us typographical department, and it contains all tbe associated press dispatches and latest news, it is always reliable, nothing sensational about it. We heartily recommend il to all who want a first-class paper. Mr. J. T. Of rnian is agent in this city. Tbe above from Brother Keiser, the veteran edi tor of the Opelika Times, is appreciated. That he is himself one of the most competent newspaper men in tbe land of “Here We Rest” gives force to the neat compliment. Those who know the major are aware that while he “rarely blames unjustly, knows not how to spare.” We thank Major Keiser for his kind words. Congress has done some foolish things, as congresses always have, and will till they meet in the New Jerusalem. Indianapolis News*. A few days ago the Enquirer-Sun took occa sion to make the assertion that, “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 Jerusalem.” This kind of doctrine must have found root in the News office, as the writer is doubtless under the conviction that the bliss and beatitudesof a better world are open to all alike. How wotdd that senator, who in talking to the sedate Evarts the other day,’ lost his temper and replied, “Oh, d—n a coward,“ look pacing around in the New Jerusalem? We might recall many instances in which the lan guage of senators and congressmen would add nothing to the character of a backwoods bully, and would be more becoming to a Texas cowboy than to one of the law-makers of this great na tion. Unless congressmen change very gicatly there is no evidence that they will cease doing foolish things at an early date, if it depends upon their meeting in the New Jerusalem. The poisoning of a whole picnic of people by eating ice cream in New York recently will en able the average dude to saunter forth with his lies', girl on the promenade during these summer afternoons without heiqg molested by the ice cream signs he will pass at everv other step in his delightful walk. Exchange. Maybe so; but a little thing like a few hundred people getting poisoned can’t scare the average Columbus man out of his diurnal lunch on ice cream cake.
