Brooklyn, under the spiritual reign

Rhode Island proposes to elevate the

The Belgians are beginning to reap the

The New York Herald says: “Mr.
Roger T. Goldsworthy, governor of
British Honduras, is at the Hotel Bruns

“Mr.” when he is nothing but a simple
governor of a Honduras.
It isn’t always the case that thrones go

The fact is, persons eligible to thrones are

The Chicago railroad sharks who are
trying to head oft' St. Louis from free trade
with tiie newly opened territory in south

A Boston dispatch* says: "Monday
night Mrs. Langtry was ill and could
not appear ut the Boston theatre as ad
vertised. Last night she appeared in the
*Ludy of Lyons,’ and us a result of that
short her voice has entirely given out,
and her physicians have forbidden her
to go on the stage again until Saturday.”
If tiie doctor would foubid her forever
from appearing on the stage the loss to
the theatrical world would not be so
great as to break it up.
The official vote of Connecticut lias
been declared. Lounsbury, rep., re
ceived 50,021 votes, and Cleveland, dem.,
58,818. Cleveland, however, lacks 2852
of a majority of all the votes cast, and, as
the legislature is republican, Lounsbury
will be the next governor. The present
governor of Connecticut also was elected
by the legislature and not by the people.
This is an anomaly in a government of
tiie people and by the people. The elec
tion laws of Connecticut should be re
vised.
TAX BODflEIIN.
There is a strong feeling exp-essed in
j New York city against tiie tax commis-
| sioners for what is regarded as their till-
I warrantable leniency towards the mighty
| men of wealth. These men are great
j property-holders and ought to be great
j taxpayers; but they are not. During the
; lifetime of the late ffm, H. Vanderbilt
i he consented, as a means of placating the
j popular clamor against him, to pay taxei

tainly, depreciated; yet the tax commis
sioners tax il this year at §8,000,000—
when everydody in New York believes it i ( .,, V(1| . w j(|j
wortli thirty or forty times that sum.
Thecoinmi‘sioners declare, in answer
to the popular clamor, that there is no
help for it; the Vanderbilts and other
rich men threaten to move away from
Now York—that is, change their "place
of residence” if they are treated like
other people and made to pay taxes on
their millions. Cornelius Vanderbilt
already resides at Newport; William K.
lives at Islip; Frederick calls one of the
Routh Carolina sea islands his home;
Auguste Belinont claims a residence at
Babylon; I’ierre Lorillard at Islip, and
Cyrus Field and Jay Gould at Irving
ton. These great fortune-holders own
comparatively little real property; their
wealth is what is culled personalty-
money, bonds and stocks—which follows
the owner and attaches to his person.
One of them can escape taxation in New
York by making oath to a residence In
New Jersey—even though all his mill
ions, and himself in the bargain, remain
in New York.
“New York is a commercial city ; we
must not drive the rich people away,’
says o e of the tax commissioners. There
may be something in this; but it is very
singular, to say the least of it, that these
great property holders should take such
pains to avoid paying taxes on the prop
erty which they call on the government
to protect in time of peril.

Chicago, November 17. -The fourth an
nual banquet of the Iroquois Club occurred
to-night at the Palmer house. Among a
large number of distinguished democrats
to whom invitation had been sent, the fol
lowing are among the most widely known
who accepted ^na were present: Speaker
Carlisle, Senator Beck, Hon. Edward L.
Bragg and Hon. J. Sterling Morton. Let
ters of regret were received from President
Cleveland, Abram S. Hewitt, Roswell P.
Flower, 8. S. Cox, Wm. C. Endicott, Perry
Belmont,Governors D.B.Iiill andFitzhugn
Lee, A. G. Thurman, and B’itz John Por
ter. After the banquet, at which between
250 and 300 guests and members of the
club sat down, the following toasts were
made and responded to: “American In
dustries, their growth and prosperity can
not be promoted by unnecessary
or unequal taxation,” Hon. J.
G. Carlisle; “Treasury Surplus,
and Tariff,” Senator Beck; “Public Lands,
the people’s heritage for homes.” Hon. W.
J. Sparks; “Our Great Republic,” Hon. M.
W. Fuller; “The President of the United
States,” Hon. Ed. W. S. Bragg; “Monopoly
Shall Not Rule,” Hon. J. Sterling Morton;
“The Sanctity of the American Home the
Safeguard of American Liberty,” Hon. Jack
Doolittle; “The Democratic Party,” L. J.
Kinne; “Young Men in Politics,” Hon. F.
H. Lehman.
A NECESSARY DISTINCTION.
Our democratic coadjutor, the Rocky
Mountain News, of Denver, takes a view
of a recent event in some respects pecu
liar:
Nobody doubts the president’s honesty in his
efforts to enforce the spirit as well as the letter
of the civil service act as he understands it, hut
there are a great many good people in the coun
try who believe that President Cleveland's con
struction of that act in strained and unnatural
and even unconstitutional. We hold that if
there is nothing against tliotwodistrict-attorneys
who were suspended except the fact that they
took the stump in the late campaign, they should
bo restored to office immediately. Freo thought
and free speech are essential elements of free
government, and they should not be abridged in
any way. A man does not forfeit or pawn his
rights by accepting office, and if he has anything
to h\y for the goncral welfhre lie should be per
mitted to say it without let or hindrance.
Wo can eee no reason in justiceor good
policy for the restoration of the Pennsyl
vania republican. lie was a part of the
administration, and, in making speeches i
against it, he challenged removal. “A i
house divided against itself cannot !
stand,” and if the members of the admin
istration fight against the head nothing
can be attained except discord and fail
ure.
In the case of Colonel Benton it is dif
ferent. He is a democrat. He made
democratic speeches in support of the
democracy uml of the democratic admin
istration. lie ought to be reinstated, ! SPRINGER
because he was suspended on distorted
evidence. If lie had neglected the
routine of his oilice, or failed to
earn his salary; if lie had allowed the '■ Friday, -
public service to sutler, his suspension j
would have been just—not, however, for
making democratic speeches, tint for in
efficiency. If an official is inefficient he
should be removed, whether lie is g dem
ocrat or a republican, whether he makes
democratic speeches or republican
speeches. But if lie makes republican
speeches while holding office under a
democratic administration, he should lie
removed at any rate.
Not to make this distinction is to lose
sight of the distinction between democ
racy and republicanism—between right
and wrong.
Now that the French visitors have
gone home we might ns well admit that
the light on the Bartholdi statue is a
dizzy fizzle. The object was to throw a
brilliant stream of light over the entire
statue. At present tiie crown only is
illuminated, while the upper lip, chin
and checks are enveloped in an inky
shadow which forms u full heard. Somo-
Anerilote, of Davis and Wade.
David Davis, when president pro tern, of
the senate, used to like to go to his dinner
at 4 p. m., and used to get quite excited on
the subject when the senate sat later. One
dark afternoon in December he would not
order the gas lighted until Senator Ed
munds pointedly suggested that it be done,
and when at last Senator Voorhees moved
that the senate go into executive session,
the judge plaintively asked: “Did the sen
ator from Indiana move to adjourn?”
Senator Ben Wade, when he was president
pro tern, of the senate, was equally anx
ious for an early adjournment. One day
when Senator Garrett Davis had the floor
and lifted the flood-gates of his ceaseless
oratory, Wade stood it until it was 4 o’clock,
when he said: “Will the senator from
Kentucky suspend his remarks for the in
troduction of a motion?” “Certainly,”
said Mr. Davis, who had the courtesy of
the old school. “The senator from Ohio,”
said Mr. Wade, “moves that the senate do
now adjourn. Senators, those in favor say
‘aye;’ those opposed, ‘no!’ The motion is
carried, and the senate stands adjourned
till to-morrow at 12 o’clock.” As Mr.
Wade was the only senator from Ohio irt
the chamber, or even in the senate at that)
time, his coolness in putting his own
motion and declaring It carried was much
admired. It was the fear that Wade would
oppoint Charles Sumner secretary of state
and rule the south with an iron rod that
made several republican senators .vote to
acquit Johnson on the charges for which
be was impeached, and thus to exclude
Wade from the white house.—Boston

A correspondent of the Nautical Ga
zette wiites from Aspinwnll that there
have been numerous vicious attacks by
natives on American train operatives,
the feeling being so strong that several
trains on the isthmus railroad were
abandoned. Uncle Sam is supposed to
guarantee safety of transit across the
isthmus, and this is probably a move to
get a war ship and squad of marines sta
tioned at Colon again. According to all
accounts, the state of Panama is about as
undesirable a place of residence us could
be found on the globe. Perennial yellow-
fever is among the least of its drawbacks.

CLEVELAND’S
SUPERIOR BAKING POWDER
DOES NOT CONTAIN
LIME,
AMMONIA,
OR ALUM.
Cleveland’s Superior Baking Powder, manufactured by Cleveland
Brothers, Albany, N. Y., is absolutely pure and wholesome. It is
made only of strictly pure Grape Cream of Tartar, Bicarbonate of
Soda, and a small portion of wheat flour, and does not contain
Ammonia, Alum, Lime, or any adulteration whatever.
The Cream of Tartar is refined by a new process which frees il
entirely from lime and every impurity, and is obtained in the pure
crystals and ground in their own factory; the Bicarbonate of Soda is
prepared expressly for them; and to ensure uniform and absolute
purity of their baking powder all the ingredients are subjected to
searching chemical analyses and none used unless proved to be
perfectly pure.
In confirmation of the above the able and reliable chemists of the
New York Produce Exchange, report as follows:
“We are analyzing all the.Cream of Tartar used in the manu
facture of Cleveland’s Superior Baking Powder, and we hereby
certify that it is practically chemically 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.
“ STILLWELL & GLADDING,
“Chem'sts to the N. Y. Produce Exchange.”

The EARTHQUAKE
Which occurred at Johnson’s (RED STAR) on Monday, and the seismic disturbances
which followed, caused some uneasiness, not to say dismay, among the Leaders and
Regulaters of the Universe.
Business is Business
You know, and if in the hurley-burley we happen to jostle against you, remember you
yourselves were once young and impatient. I have orders from New York to close
out a lot of EMBROIDERED SUITS at any price we can get rather than return them.
Here is the result:
$15.00 SUITS E/EDTJOED TO $9.00.
$12.00 SUITS REDUCED TO $7.50.
For two days only, after which they will be returned to New York.
ANOTHER LOT OF BIG BARGAINS IN DRESS GOODS.
ALL WOOL TRICOTS 37o
ALL WOOL DIAGONALS 35c;

All Wool PRINTED SATTEENS, worth 40c, only 10c, nice for house dresses. Another
lot of Cotton Dress Goods at 3Jc. A few more Checked Nainsook Remnants left, only
7c. Another large lot on the wav. A few left (perhaps ten dozen in all) of those cheap
Handkerchiefs, only 2c for Ladies’ and 4c for Gentlemen’s; 50 dozen more on the way.

CLOTHING AT COST!
Don’t make a mistake by buying before you come and try me. Ladles are caution
ed not to buy auy more KID GLOVES until mine arrive. I am having a large lot
made and the first shipment was withdrawn from the custom house in New York last
week. They will have my own private brands on them, and until I get them intro
duced I shall sell them at the cost of production. Remember they are no cheap
trash picked up at “job” prices. The Gentlemen’s will be branded “Georgia Mid
land,” the Ladies’ “L'Alegro Club,” “Columbus Girl” and “Chattahoochee,” and the
prices will be ridiculous.
