If nothing happens contrary to what lias hapjiened so far in tlie case of the •Chicago anarchists, we hope in due time to see n row of gallows, and those Moody murderers hanging thereon. Civiliza tion cannot alford not to hang them. -AnruniSACoN Kanina made an address 'before a Presbyterian body in London not long ago, in whic he said : “ 1 am a sincere and convinced Episcopalian. ire sincere and convinced Presbyterians. For my part, I do not believe that either the .Episcopalian or the Presbyterian •organization is essential to a church.” In the August installment of Mr. Howell's new novel, “The Minister's’ Charge,” now appearing in the Century, occurs the following passage : “ SiAvell’’ 3 the minister] “ mused awhile. Then he said, with a smile, ‘ It’s very much sim- j Spier to lit people for the other world than Tor this, don’t you think?’ ‘Yes it is’ {[replied the editor]. ‘ It was a cold day for the clergy when it was imagined that tfhey ought to do both.’ ” If TliomnN Jefferson had ever got into a row -villi any impudent one-horse nation over a kit •of mackerel, lie would have gone out and set tled it with a club instead of sitting in Ids office ■and trying to patch it up by writing letters.— Philadelphia Press. This is what is called hoy’s talk—the kind that sounds well to certain ears, and the kind of all, perhaps, uttered with the Seast mental effort. Xow, pray, will you .suggest where the club is to be found? The first, rule, ns to engaging in a diffi culty by means of a club is “first get your club.” That with us means a navy •anti coast defences, and those are not minings to be procured at i nice. 1 f we are going to club Canada wc are to bear in mind that wo will have to reckon with Eng land. There is one thing, and only one, that we can do now, and that is to have The status of this llshery business defined, tnd therein is where Secretary Bayard seems open to criticism. \Ve should press Camilla for a settlement. If we found her terms such that we will tight first, then till we can do is to “lay low” and get ready as quickly as possible, and when we are ready “sail in." But till wc ire ready we can't utfoid any club Ijusi- yicss, no matter how much humble pie ■we may have to eat to avoid it. TIIK IIII.KK-CItAWFOltl) SCANDVI.. No event has happened over the water ma decade which has elicited more com ment from (he American press than the !>ilke-(Yawford scandal. And it is not a favorable comment upon American jour nalism that such is the cast mot to be. The prominence of Sir Charles I hike has unluckily imparted a prominence to his amour. Taken all in all it is perhaps the uncleanest piece of la-civiousness that was ever sifted in u court house. London journalism is notorious for its unblushing atl'rontery in retailing the minutia of great scandals. London journals dare not print the verbatim evi dence in this ease. There is not a mors pitiable pair ex tant than Sir < buries and Airs. Crawford. The woman is an anomaly of depravity. She was the leader in great society, the mother of twelve children, the wife of a •eond man, and. at the same time, a fouler wanton than any that walked the streets. For years she has lacked only exposure to crown her the queen of infamy. And now she has been exposed. Her past has been as a raging wave of the sea, foaming out its own shame; and her future Avill be as a wandering star to •whom is reserved the blackness of dark ness forever. fsir Charles I hike has fallen from a posi tion second to few in the British empire, to where there are many to scorn him but none so poor as to lend their homage. If not tired of his life he is tired of his native land. He is about to turn his back upon it forever and make his home In the south of France. It would have been wiser on his part to Ubvq done this before going to court. Meanwhile, there are people heartless enough to say that English society has closed its doors on Sir Charles and Mrs. Crawford, not because of their guilt, hut because of their exposure, while others who are known to be equally as ball are still wel comed in higll circles. So damaging an arraignment of fashionable society would probably fall flat and be ascribed to en vious got nip were it not for the support lent to it by tbe unseemly scramble ol “blase” and bejewelcd dames for good in the court room, while tbe vile and unholy details of Hilke’s career as a libertine were being drawn from the wit ness box. Is it any wonder, in tbe face of all this, that Henry Waltcr-on wrote home the other day from London; “ I would rather see a daughter of mine placed in her coffin, and follow her to her lonely resting-place in the church-yard at home, than to follow her down the aisle of St. (leorge’s chapel and see her wedded to the brightest coronet in England.” TIIK SKW lilKTUICr ATTOHNKV, Yesterday the president nominated Hon. Hupont (merry, of Americus, to he United States district attorney for the southern district of Georgia. There is little doubt of his confirmation by the senate. Mr. Guerry is an able lawyer, a man of integrity, and will do credit to the high office to which the president has seen 111 to appoint him. If all of Air. Cleveland’s appointments are as satis factory to the people, he would do well to go on with his changes. nKATII OK Ill'iIKKT O'. THOMPSON. Yesterday morning Hubert 0. Thomp son was found dead in his bed in New York City. He was a power in the county democracy, and his loss will long be felt. lie had his faults, who has not? But his virtues wore virile and numer ous. This year has been a fatal one for politicians of note. They have gone to the ground like withered leaves. Hu bert O. Thompson was nol the worst among those who have lately gone. Peace to his dust, and rest to his soul. AIAJ0K li A CON’S I.KTTKH. lion. A. O. Bacon has written a long letter to the public in which lie confesses defeat, Imt swears undying devotion to the principles for which he claims to have fought. The letter E a long one, and we see no reason for its reproduction at this lime. The lblloNving is its first paragraph: To my friends in the democratic party in Geor gia: TheconteHt for the gubernatorial nomina tion is no longer in doubt. The result will not be officially ascertained until the convention assem bles on the 28th hint., but what it will he has al ready been practically decided. As active opeia- tions have ceased, I avail myself of the opportu nity to return my sincere thanks to my Mends throughout the state for their earnest support and the confidence expressed thereby. 1 have felt in this conflict that I was representing them, and I have personally faced our opponents to the hist moment in which there was the slightest possi bility of defeating them. I have been nerved throughout the struggle by the supreme conviction that I was en gaged in a battle for the right. I only regret that tliere is no longer anything to be done in contin uing the struggle save for our?gal!ant minority to assert by the vote in the approaching convention its loyalty to’.the principles for which we have so earnestly contended. In the result of the con test, my principal regret is the lUilure of a cause, and in the temporary overthrow of principles which 1 consider of vital importance to the state. Personally, I should have most highly prized ami appreciated the honor of the office of governor had it been conferred upon me. It was perhaps a pardonable ambition in which I have indulged, that a service of twelve years to the state might he closed with this distinction. This, however, has been denied me, and I shall waste no regrets upon it. | .Major 1 himn tlu*n goes on at length to ! reiterate Home of the ehurgev that were! ma«le against General Gordon during the nunpaiyn and the motives that actuated | him in making the tight, and contends | that while the minority have Buttered I temporary defeat,the principles for which j they contended should he kept fresh in i the minds of the people that they may ' vet he engraved upon a standard that 1 will he borne to linal victory. The Macon Telegraph, in an editorial, | endorses .Major Hacon’s letter. The Au gusta Chronicle, which also supported Major Bacon, takes a different view of it. In speaking of the letter, the Chronicle We cannot endorse the severe reflections in the address of Major Bacon, which we publish to day. If we believed what Major Bacon charges as to the men who control the party in this state, we should feel called upon to do all in our power to defeat the election of General Gordon. We It miirlit i could not advise the minority to participate in it u^m j the deliberations of the convention. We do not j believe that these men are banded together po- 1 lltieally t.» do.- poil the state and plunder the peo ple. ! It isratural that Major Bacon should feel in dignant at his treatment, and disappointed at i his defeat. It would be unreasonable to expect J ; him to unite in the nomination by acclamation i of his competitor, but we believe that his wisest course would have Ween to have contented him self with a dignified letter returning thanks to ! his supporters in this campaign, expressing the i hope that the principles and methods for which He had contended would yet prevail in the poli tics of the state. | We take no stock in the charge that General ; Gordon and his friends intend to make money i out of the State road; and we do not intend to | discount General Gordon’s administration, or I disparage it in advance, simply because we sup- ported Major Bacon. If General Gordon was dis posed to do wrong in the management of the high office which will be committed to his trust, which we do not for one moment suppose, he i will have to call to his aid the general assembly 1 elected to protect the interests of the people. We j shall give to General Gordon’s administration a • fair and impartial support. We have the right to criticise his acts, but we i have not the right to misjudge his motives in advance. We shall approve what is right and condemn what is wrong in the administration of Gen. Gordon. Major Bacon has made a stubborn, gallant tight—one that will live in the memory of the present generation. We regret that its conclu sion should have been marred by reflections and strictures that we cannot endorse without being false to professions and associations, personal and political, of many years’duration. We sup ported Major Bacon from a sense of duty, because i we believed that the party owed him preferment. Vv o have discharged our duty, and weao not carry on the fight against those with whom we have here afore acted politically, unless there should be further reasons for our opposition. We believe that General Gordon is the only man who could have defeated Major Bacon for the nomination. General Gordon’s brilliant war record and the superior organization and ample treasury supplied by his Atlanta supporters se cured his nomination. It is due to trailh that we should say that the majority of the democratic people of Georgia have confidence in the iuteg- CLEVEUIO’S SUPERIOR BAKING POWDER Contains only purest grape cream of tartar, bicarbonate of soda, and a little wheat flour, the latter to preserve the strength of the powder—nothing else whatever. What other manufacturers impart to the public a knowledge of ALL the ingredients that enter into their baking powder? Consumers have a right to know what they are using as food. In these times of extensive adulteration the public should demand this information, and in all cases where not given should refuse to purchase the baking powder. Cleveland Brothers, Albany, N. Y.

GRAND FINALE SATURDAY NIGHT. AH. high priced Dry Goods Merchants will have a camp-fire meeting in flirard to devise means, if possible, to improve on baits and fly-traps, so as to stop tbe rush of customers to the Trade Palace. THE FACTS LAID DOWN BY GRAY FOR THE PUBLIC EYE. GRAY, the great atomizer and pulverizer of high prices and credit system and fly-traps, si tbe money you will save in buying from him will sweeten many an hour when doubt and anxii exist about your business attains. Theory is. how is Gray always so crowded that it is someth] says anxiety , .* . - --- --- - j —» .v .o sometimes impossible to get waited on'. ell, the secret is, we believe in Quick sales and small profits. G)ay s Ship, which gave warning some two weeks ago, as a mod with the keenest of weapons, sees now on the horizon u phantom ship in the distance, loaded with old charge books and ledgers, and fly-traps and long-winded prices, their sails dotted with rumpled and misused samples of Dry Goods from ot her stores; the crew composed of old time fogy merchants, known as so-called competi tors ; their uniforms made of old style shop-worn black 2 to cashmere. The officers* uniforms dillered somewhat, having a complete suit lined’with 10c gloves. Judging from the large white spots, we thought the cruft a man-of-war. Blit Gray, with his keenest eye, saw that the phantom ship was patched all over with old credit bills, the great cancer credit having eaten all through in many hundred places. Prom the top sky foresail could be seen a black flag made out of faded black phiid mulls marked “Credit.” We give warning. Our flag is marked ‘Spot Cash.” If the phantom ship does not wish to endanger their cargo, they had better lieave to, as we will point our needle guns loaded with grape and canister flying in au directions. Mafi.v will go down in the hurricane of sleet, shot and shell. Others will he fatally crippled. But all wilt be sobered and read aright the sterling axioms of true mercantile philosophy. The only trouble with the Trade Palace, we are so crowded during the day we cannot get all the bundles out, so we have to send a great Hunger at night. “UNDERBUY AND UNDERSELL” GRAY’S WATCHWORD.
