Sir Chahi.kh Dii.ke Inis been having an

TiiKgreatcst truth* are sometimes ex
pressed in the fewest word*. An Apache

An exchange soya: ‘'In a Chinese village
.luring a time of droitlh, a missionary saw a row
of Idols put in the hottest and dustiest part of the
road. He inquired the reason and the natives
answered: VVe prayed to our gods to send us
rain, and they won't, so we've put them out to
nee how they like the heal and dryness.’ ”
Many cities in this country would do
well to work Unit scheme on their city of
ficials. Anchor them out in the mud
stnd garbage of the streets which they
persistently refuse to clean up, anti let
’em see how they like it themselves.
In a communication to I lie senate Sec
retary Ihtyard, while declining to give
the details of the negotiations with (treat
lh'itain in reference to the seizure of
American fishing vessels by the Cana
dian authorities, states that, in the opin
ion of the state department, the corres
pondence “must soon terminate in an
amicable settlement, mutually just and
honorable, and therefore satisfactory to
both countries and their inhabitants.”
The secretary also points out that the de
partment’s action was promptly and suf
ficiently energetic,and, inl'crentially, that
whatever delay has been caused has been
inseparable from the character of the ne
gotiations.
A woman has been arrested and im
prisoned in Washington city for stealing
a cork leg and a blanket from an old
army veteran. This is wrong. The
woman ought not to lie imprisoned. It
is plainly evident tlint her case is not
understood. Beyondn doubt this woman
lias for vein’s been bunging on to the
flirtation edge of society without being
able to catch a man. She lias grown des
perate and.is going for one by sections.
Tlint old veteran’s cork leg was n sort of
nest egg for her, and if the cruel author
ities hail let the poor woman alone she
would have hinl a whole man gathered
in after a while. There is no show for
sm unprotected woman in this country,
with all its boasted freedom.
Tilt! GEORGIA li t It ASSOCIATION.
Bv reference to our advertising col
umns the legal reader will note the pro
gramme of the third annual meeting of
the.Georgia Bar association,which is fixed
for the 2tltli and 27th of August at Atlan
ta. The topics lor discussion are all of
interest and importance.
A glance at the roll of olllcers and
members Of the body shows tlint the best
representatives of the bar are those who
are enlisted in the work of the associa-i
tion. Tims far they have steered clear !
of all entangling alliances and personal
schemes, and have directed their labors
to the elevation of the legal profession
and the judiciary and the improvement
of the administration of law. In these
lines of work, the commonwealth will
bid the association a hearty God speed.
1IK1.LIGKUKNT MEXICANS.
The dispatches from El l’aso, Texas,
about the Cutting episode are assuming a
somewhat sensational character, and it is
not improbable that the actual condition
of affairs is being exaggerated. There is
a touch of comedy in the statement that
both Cutting and his .Mexican competi
tor, for assailing whom the American was
incarcerated, were both in jail, the fiery
Mexican having interferred with and
abused the secretary of the American
consul. The two enemies occupied ad
joining cells, and Cutting, who seems to
be a rather bloodthirsty person, is said
to have Implored and tried to bribe his
jailers to place the Mexican in the same
cell with hint in order, presumably, tlint
he might make an end of him. Mean
while tlie Mexican authorities have
failed, so fur, to comply with the demand
of our state department for Cutting’s re
lease, and Mexican troops are said to be
massing at Ei Paso, on the Mexican side
of the Rio Grande. It remains to bo
seen whether the Mexicans will he *<•
foolish as to provoke a conflict about so
trilling a matter.
II til.lint II MANAGEMENT.
We make the following extract from
the annual report of General Comnds-
ioner Virgil Powers to the Southern
Railway and Steamship u.-soeiatiori, for
the purpose ot showing our readers what
is thought of the responsibility of rail
road managers by one of the wisest and
best railroad men in the south.
The fact istliat presidentsund manager.-
tre too apt to consider the railroads un
der their charge as their private property
and to be luangcd to suit their own ideas
and lo carry out their own schemes with
out considering the effect of such man
agement, either upon the stockholders or
the public. Two tilings should be kept
constantly iu view by them: To earn
dividends for the stockholders and to af
ford to the public the highest security
and the closest rates.
That company and community are for
tunate indeed whose railroads are so
managed as to secure these ends.
One of the principal reasons (if not the
principal) for the present demoralization
in railroad management of the country
is that the officials have too little, 1
might say no confidence in each other.
This should not be the case. All of the
principal managers in the various de
partments of all the roads should so act
its to be above suspicion of wrong-doing,
that implicit confidence maybe accorded
them in whatever they say or do. If this
lie done, and reasonable, just and fair
divisions of business and agreements lie
made, and lived up to by the managers,
and all subordinates lie required to carry
them out strictly, no violation allowed on
any pretext whatever, there will be some
hope for the future of the railroads of the
country; without it I see no prospect in
the future for them. There certainly is
but little hope in the future for them
under the existing state of things.
The presidents and general managers
are, or should lie, held responsible to and I
by the owners of the property they man
age, not only for its physical condition
but for its revenues also ; and they should
carry out all their agreements faithfully
and fully, and see that their subordinates
do so. Ifafewoftho principal subordi
nate ollicers were removed for allowing
such practices in their subordinates, this
trouble would very soon lie corrected.
MEANS IUM.NKNS.
President Cleveland will change the
custoi. long practiced by his predeces
sors of visiting the president's room ad
joining the senate chamber,accompanied
by his cabinet, during the expiring horn's
of the session of congress, to lie on hand
to sign hills passed at the eleventh hour.
The executive department being a co
ordinate branch of the great government
of tlie people, President Cleveland main
tains that his constitutional duties as
such executive are clearly defined, and
in order to properly discharge the same
lie must have time to duly examine and
consider all measures requiring his ap
proval to become laws, and that such
proper scrutiny as is required for a faith
ful discharge of the trusts confided to tin*
executive branch of the government can
not lie given amid tlie rush of hasty
legislation ground out during tlie last
few hours of the close of the session.
Entertaining these views President
Cleveland will remain at the executive
mansion and receive the congressional
enactments in the usual eotlr.-e and take
proper time to give them careful consid
eration. Congress may have to continue
its session till the executive returns the !
measures with bis approval or accom
panied with his objections. Therefore,
tlie date of adjournment cannot definitely
be fixed by a previous joint resolution of
congress. Adjournment must await tlie ;
president's return of bills submitted to
him. A few days for careful considera
tion and scrutiny of the numerous nets
of legislation will, it is claimed, be time j
well occupied by the executive depart- i
meat in the exercise of its constitutional '
obligations.
t GNAT ON IN OX'S HORN.'
T. DeWitt Talmage is coming south litis sum- !
tiler, which indicates that the sheckel crop must i
be short in New York. When T. DeWitt finds 1
lime to brighten tho south with his long hajr and
lectures it is for a purpose, and that purpose is to
secure the stuff which is popularly supposed to I
make the mare get up uiul move herself.—Quincy !
(Fla.) Herald.
'I'. DeWitt Talmage is the best friend
the south ever hnd in tlie north. When
the apostles of reconstruction and its (
gospel of bate swarmed among us like !
tlie frogs of a pestilence, and when it was
a passport to public favor in the north to
anathematize the alien-ridden south, T. !
DeWitt Talmage stood up in high places
and crowded halls and literally drowned j
the hisses of his hearers with his lute- j
like praises of tho south ami her people. I
It was tlie grandest spectacle of moral!
heroism since Paul stood before Agrippa
and spoke forth words of soberness and
truth that put the potentate and bis '
courtiers to shame. T. DeWitt Talmage
preached a sermon in praise of the south
which reached and was read by more j
people than the sermon of any other
man, perhaps, that ever lived.
If the whole world turned its back on
Talmage lie would meet a ringing wel
come in tlie south. Let him come here I
ns often as he will. The south will j
spread her richest tables and smooth her
softest pillows for Talmage:
The author of the above slangy fling
ought to read up on contemporary histo
ry. He is a veritable bull in a china
shop in his discussions of men and events.
FREEING (THAN SLAVES.
Our dispute!.e- to-day announce the
lecision of tlie Spanish government b
ree the remainder of thf slaves in Cuba.
Chi* is a step forward for 'this, effete
monarchy and should be plae d to it-
.•redlt accordingly. But the fact is that
the prosent privileged (?) citizens ol
Cuba do not know what freedom i*
much less the slaves. In this evening
fight of the nineteenth century it is a
birth-blight to be born a citizen of a
inonareby a* effete and decayed as Spaii.
is. In a country where editors are im
prisoned and their paper confis-
■ated for eritieisiiur official crook
edness; where good men are
exiled and rubbed of their property
for differing in opinion witli tlie power-
that lie; and when a standing army is a
continual menace to popular rights, it
the purest bosh to talk about freedom for
any class. In Spain citizenship is moral
serfdom; and the whole body politic is a
filled honeycomb of vict and oppression.
When the stars and stripes are raised
above Moro castle, as they may be some
day, the benighted and huffetted Cubans
will stand in the gray dawn of the first
freedom their race lias realized in four
hundred years.
THE GCIIKKNATOKIAI, CONVENTION.
The state democratic convention as
sembled in Atlanta yesterday. General
John B. Gordon was nominated for gov-
esnor and all tlie present state house offi
cials were renominated. There was onfy
cine vote against making tlie nomination
of General Gordon unanimous, and that
was cast by Roberts, of Haneock, whose
vote was received with hisses and derisive
shouts. The nomination of Genera!
(Jordon was already an assured fact, as a
large majority of tlie counties had in
structed in hi* favor. The action of the
convention was simply formal.
Since General Gordon is now the regu
lar nominee of the party, it behooves
every good democrat in Georgia to ac
cord him a hearty support. He will be
elected beyond doubt, and in all proba
bility without opposition. He will bring
to the office of governor many years’ex
perience in public life, and will no doubt
give the people a just and honest admin
istration.
A Virginia j apt-r lemarks tlint being
gored to death by ahull “is always shock
ing, and especially so to the young.”
Maybe so, but we were under tlie im
pression that the effect was about the
same at any age. When a pawing, snort
ing bull wedges a mail against a wall and
begins to insert a horn under his vest
like-a dentist digging for a tooth, his be
ing old and venerable and white-haired
and all that isn’t going to keep him from
being “shocked,” and from clawing the
air and scuttling and yelling for some
body to “take ’ini off” just the same as a
young man or a boy would do. A man
may grow old gracefully and do a great
many other tilings gracefully after he
is old, but he can’t submit gracefully
while a bull is perforating bis body with
holes like it was a pincushion. If the
Virginia editor doesn’t believe this let
him get a bull and try it. After the ex
periment is over we would like to hear
from him, if lie can connect with this
world through some spiritualist medium.
A man’s time would be bet ter employed
in whistling jigs to a mile post than in
reasoning with the average republican
editor in < iliio. They are still rehearsing
their nightmare performance over the
Payne bribery case. We were about to
remark that these Ohio editors were bar
barians', but no barbarian lias ever done
us any harm, and we can’t conscientious
ly make the remark.
This is the glowing season of the year when
people who go on excursions are so happy to get
home that they are glad they went.

We are analyzing all the Cream of Tartar
used in the manufacture of CLEVELAND’S
SUPERIOR BAKING POWDER, and we
