Sir Chahi.kh Dii.ke Inis been having an immenso apount of fun; but it in the kind that doesn’t pay more than one cent on the dollar. TiiKgreatcst truth* are sometimes ex pressed in the fewest word*. An Apache Indian who recently sat down on a hor net*’ nest exclaimed, “Whoope! 1 loapur Hence!" It in a noticeable feature of conare*- nional fisticuffs tlint a eonurennniiin when assaulted liy another in generally struck in the mouth. They know which is the most otfensi ve part of each other’s anat omy. 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. CLEVELAND’S mMB mm Is the perfect baking powder. We are analyzing all the Cream of Tartar used in the manufacture of CLEVELAND’S SUPERIOR BAKING POWDER, and we hereby certify that it is practically chem ically pure—testing as high as 99.95 per cent, and not less than 99.50 per cent. From a hygienic point of view we regard CLEVELAND’S SUPERIOR BAKING POWDER as the ideal baking powder, composed as it is of pure Grape Cream of Tartar and pure Bicarbonate of Soda.
