I favor of pensioning those who had fought and M tin* cotton at the ao- who were disabled in that kind of service.” A coTKMi’oi:.\HY rejoices that one result of the continent of Mexico wouhl be the reconstruction of f lie spelling of ('liiwnw- tvuw. The ignorant greasers invariably spell it ('hiliualma. Oru news column this morning give little adtlitioral news with regard t« Mexican muddle, hut the air is with wild rumors of war. There need In- no hurry in securing substitutes to light the greasers yet awhile. Timsesteehum 1 Atlanta Capitol says edi torially : “The Columbus Enquirhr-Hun is the neatest, handsomest paper by all odds printed in the stale of Georgia or the south." Snell testimony is eneounii'inu as it carries witli it the force of otic of the most interesting ami enter|>risinvr dailies in the state. I.ontr live the Capitol to “hew to the line, let the chips fall where they may.” I l! to 7 cents was the hest offerer! for ,t itoneo he eoiielmleil to sliip to Montfrom- ety. He ili'l tliis and afterwards sold it for 7; cents, ninkiiijt a net «aitt of $i!o.47 by the traie-ai'tion. Now, we do not iptestion the finds as stated by Mr. ('handlers, but we sutimit that it is not fair eompetition nor any part of eomiretitioii to fail to tell the whole truth in the matter. Mr. Cham- liors may li vaneed price tint i- it not reasonatile to presume llie price of cotton had also ad vanced, and that tire day lie sold it in Montgomery it would have brought the same price in Columbus'.’ We presume the public will hardly he gulled hy uny such statement. The rate-of freight are hotter from ( nlmnhus than from Montgomery in eonsei|Uenee of water transporta tion, our warehouse charges are no more and it costs no more to dray cotton in Oolumhtis than Montgomery. ()ur facili ties for storage are inferior to none in the state. Our hanking facilities are more than adequate and we have the advan tages of a compress, which Montgomery hits not. We have no objection to Mr. Cham bers doing all in his power to secure cot ton for his warehouse, but we submit he should use legitmate argument. Colum bus is not excelled by any inland town in this section ns a cotton market, and any statement to the contrary cannot he sustained hy figures or facts unless sadly perverted for the purpose. i Southern men have alwuyn stood back when. pension hilts are pending, but since there is a [ I prospect of offering a pension to even - j body who served in the union army, whether | disabled or not. there is a threatened revolt r.n i the part of southern members. Such a revolt ! would undoubtedly be led by Oates. In speak ing ttic other day of the proposition to pension men who have been taken prisoners, lie said j that that was putting really a premium upon ! cowardice, it was generally the feeble and cowardly who surrendered. He was only in 1 who were disabled in that kind of service." I The gentleman thus described by the New York World in -p viking of the memhei's of the house of i epivsentntives. was on ye.-terd.iy morning unanimously re-nominated by the democratic conven tion of the third Alabama congressional district. It Isa compliment to the wise dis crimination of the convention that Hon. W.C. dates should veeeive the nomina tion by acclamation. The south has no alder representative in tin bulls of con gress. His influence is tell in such a de gree that he no longer belongs to the third Alabama district, hut his name and fame belong to the people ol'the , south. We heartily congratulate the ! third Alabama district and the conven tion which carried their wishes into i ell'ect. tinini nut tiik Killin'. The Courier-.lonrnal says “Kx-Uov. Joe Urown will see that no (ieorgia vol unteer shall enter Mexico until he is ful ly armed with a pike.” As many of our young men are getting ready to start, we have telegraphed to the ex-governor for a large number of pikes to he sent us by express. We have the names of several on our list, and will notify them as soon as their arms arrive. Some with extra long handles have been sent for to furnish the majors and colonels who are "spiling” for a tight. MKXICO ASII I'KNSIONS. Before entering into war with Mexico We suggest for the consideration of the American people not only the blood and treasure to lie spent in carrying on the war, hut the pensions to he paid after wards. .1 ust as soon as a war is over the I'nited States commence paying pensions to the survivors and to the widows of the dead, and they never cease paying. “The pen sioners ye have always with you,” is a prophecy which will apply to America front this time henceforth and forever. There arc some diseases the sequence to which is as had as the disease itself. NOT I,IKK TIIK PitKMItKNT. Ileaders of the ExorntKR-.Si'x have al- Ihe ready been informed of the appointment | ' of Matt hews to he recorder of deeds for . 1 the District of Columbia. The people of Washington city Mere very much dis satisfied when I’resident Cleveland llrst made the nomination of Matthews for this place. Now their dissatisfaction has ripened into indignation. We desire to say in the premises that this appointment upon the part of Presi dent Cleveland is an outrage upon the people of Washington and unworthy of the president. In all his administration we can recall no act that compare* with it in a wanton disregard of all propriety and as an injustice for which there is no apology. It is an outrage upon the citi zens of the District of Columbia, not because Matthews is a negro, hut because the ollice of recorder of deeds is ns much a local otliee in Washington city as is the clerk of the superior court in Muscogee county s a local office here, and the president has imported Mathews from Albany, X. Y., when there are better men for the position in the dis trict. It was only a few days ago that it was announced, and impressed upon the public, that President Cleveland would appoint no man in this state to he judge of the I'nited States district court who is not a resident of the northern district of Georgia. This was heralded as one of the results of a reform inaugurated hy the democratic adminis tration. The appointment of this ini- Th ere appears to bean unusual activity this t summer in the way of foolhardy demonstration. ' Several cranks are feverish to dare the deadly 1 chances of Niagara, and several more want to try the blunt brutality of a jump from the East river bridge iu New York. Why should not the i persons who indulge in these perilous tricks he 1 punished as if for attempted suicide? Because, it is said, they do not intend suicide. But one of , the peculiarities of the law is that it has its own way of finding out what a man intends, and never takes the man’s word for it, because the j man may lie. If a man does an act which nine' times in ten most obviously and necessarily end i in death, .he la v, judging his motives hy his acts 1 and not hy his words, will probably assume that j he intended to kill himself. - I It is now asserted on good authority that all the “had men" and professional murderers of j the west are blondes with light hairan.l blue 0} es As soon as this is known tlie western desperadoes will doubtless begin to dje. Dark hair will he- | come the symbol of respectability and blue eyed j rascals will have to have their eyes blacked. Mr. Gladstone’s election expenses were 8950, j as officially certified hy the sheriff. This fact does not sustain the opinion generally held of the great cost of an election in England, but it is tolerably certain that this is an entirely excep tional case. The “grand old man,” in such a case, runs on his record. Men without that kind of capital must pay their way. But these figures show the point to which this expenditure can be reduced. A Frenchman has been translating Shelley into French prose. From English poetry to French prose is a long walk of the serpentine variety, and the ^chances are that the poet if in life would fail to understand himself. Carl Schurz, moving the unanimous re-elec tion of George William Curtis as president of the National Civil Sendee Reform league, seems to present a picture that ought to be painted and fiamed. Editor Cutting should he released before cold weather sets in. Those subscribers who promised to pay in cord-wood might take advantage of the editor’s absence. port oil negro, who happen* to tie a pet of j hi* excellency, and whom lie desire* to j reward, cast* all such stuff to the wind*. This appointment, furthermore, is in direel disrespect to the senate and the democrats, sis well as the republican ma jority. When Matthews was first nomi nated the senate failed to confirm him. The vote shows that only thirteen sena tors voted for his continuation and lienee his rejection was largely due to ilento- The girl who never screams when she sees a snake isn’t a safe girl to marry. With her calm, coot, collected, unexcitable disposition she would hit where she aimed with the rolling pin every j time. War is that kind ofdisease to the I nited cratie senators. It is a decided weak tie* States. It will cost us about as much to pension tlie survivors of tlie last war as it will to whip Mexico again. IIOI.lt Till'll 110ItsKS. Our esteemed contemporary, tlie Louis ville ('ourier-Journal, seems to lie iu ac cord with the Kstji iiiKU-St x on the Cut ting alliiir. -We commend to our tire- eating friends who would like to anchor Mexico in the middle of tlie Atlantic ocean, its words of conservatism. Our contemporary says: “The Cutting affair seems to have aroused the jingo spirit to a tumultuous degree in some sec tions of the country. Patriotism issp'illu' fora fight, and tire patriot is so anxious for tlie Ameri can eagle to scream that he is pulling out its tail feathers with an energy that threatens to disfigure liberty's bird. “Patience, patience, belligerent fellow-citizens Mexico can not run away and hide from us. Stic is fastened to the spot. And she isn't going to get anv bigger or stronger yet awhile, she is a mill' little republic which we can lick uny day iu iwo snakes of a sheep’s tail. It behooves us all the more, on that account, to he sure that slie deserves a thrashing before we give it to her. "It seems to he a rather difficult matter to get at the truth of 'll is Cutting business. It appears, however, that Cutting is something of a blather, skite amt a good deal of a trickster. It appears, furt bennore, that his original offense was com mitted on Mexican soil wtiite he was a resident of Mexico. For that lie was certainly amenable to -Mexican law. But oilier complications grew out ol the ease about which there is by no menus such certainty, and concerning which there are contradictory reports. “Kinderquieten down," bellicose fellow-citizens, and let us see if we cun t get at the truth. If American rights have been infringed through the person of even an adventurer like Cutting, we are amply able to avenge ourselves." to tisp a polite term for it, that tlie presi dent should take advantage ofthe ad journment of congress to re-appoint him when it has been demonstrated so unmis takably that the appointment is exceed ingly obnoxious. It might he argued that Mr. Cleveland linds warrant for his action in this mat ter that Matthews was rejected by a re publican senate "for the reason that it was had polities to confirm a democratic negro,” if such were the facts. True the republican senate could have rejected him, but the democratic senators rejected him also. Hence it is no exhibition of backbone upon the part of the president to reappoint him. Viewing the subject front the most favorable standpoint, we can regard it in noothcrlight than an outrage perpetrated upon the people of the District of Colum bia hy the president of the I'nited States. Ami that, too. an outrage for which there is no warrant. by a few, identified I Old Mill s tx t t orros M\1IKKT, ND'. .!. II. Chambers is a new ware houseman iu Montgomery.

Griitin News, We reprint this morning a letter from Henry R. .chins to the Enquirer-Sun, I describing the country and cities along the ! Georgia Midland, in which Griffin is characterized as a “prosperous and once hopeful city,” but it is prophesied thatstag- nation and ruin is sure to follow from the effects of the oivision caused hy the pro hibition election and contest. That the writer is not entirely unjustified in this statement, according to many superficial appearances, we are willing to admit; but in reality, lie is altogether mistaken in his conclusions, as we snail endeavor to show. While many of our best and most public spirited citizens voted for prohibition, the election was not desired at tliis time except and these few not substantially with uny public or private movement or progressive enterprise by which Griffin has recently been advanced. Now that the election is over, most of our citizens are willing to let it he a thing of the past, and the result of the contest being already a foregone conclusion, the whole question is considered as settled for at least two years to come. While all the feeling engendered has not yet died out, the people of Griffin are rapidly becoming united and harmonious again; and with the beginning of the busy season the question of prohibition will cease to be thought of. Griffin is not standing still by any means. On many different streets the noise of the hammer and saw are heard in the erection of neat cottages and handsome residences. On Hill street the last old frame store houses are being torn down and new ones of stone or brick erected in their places, and this process is even going on out as far as Taylor street. A drive around town re veals new improvements every day that is impossible to keep pace with, new build ings, additions, fresh paint and hand some concrete on houses that had not looked respectable for years before. A compress is only awaiting the completion of the new railroad before being pul up. The need of a new hotel is universally acknowledged, and we predict that it will not be very long before we have one that cannot be beat by any town of like size in Georgia or any neighboring state. Capital is seeking investment here, and the increase of taxable wealth in the last year, as shown by the returns, amounts to nearly *200.000. The citizens of Griffin are fully awake to their necessities and their opportunities, and as sanguine in regard to the good eti'eets of the Geor gia Midland as Columbus is; and the mer chants of the latter place are sadly mis taken if they think to take much trade away from our natural territory because of any apathy or “stagnation" here, from whatever cause. The progress of Griffin may be retarded temporarily by untoward causes, but it cannot be stopped by an is- NOTHING HIDDEN THE MANUFACTURERS OF CLEVELAND’S SUPERIOR BAKING POWDER HAVE FOR MANY YEARS MADE KNOWN TO THE PUBLIC ALL THE INGREDIENTS OF THEIR POWDER. In these suspicious times it is not enough that manufactu* rers of food preparations base their claims for patronage on the simple statement that their goods are “ absolutely pure.” The absolute purity of a poison intensifies the baneful effects of its improper use. The absolute purity of ammonia, a drug often used in the manufacture of baking powder and in some of the powders most largely advertised, greatly increases the force of the objection mnde by the most eminent scientists of our day to the use of ammonia in food. This protest of the medical and chemical professions is due to the fact that ammonia—a product of decomposition— when taken into the stomach with our daily meals is exceedingly injurious. Hence the public should insist upon knowing what all food compounds contain and ALL that they contain. Let the edict go forth that no article intended for use in the prepa ration of our daily bread shall receive public support unless the manufacturers' formula be published. Then shall we have less imposition practiced upon a confiding public, and as a result less injury to the public health. Cleveland’s Superior Baking Powder is made only of strictly pure Grape Cream of Tartar, Bicarbonate of Soda, and a little wheat flour, the latter to preserve the strength of the powder; nothing else whatever.
