Hon. Samuel J. Randall has been very
much Bhnken up recently, but it waH be
cause he was riding in a shabby old car
riage.
It lias been suggested that the next
minister Secretary Bayard sends to
Mexico should be a prohibitionist. This
seems good advice, as it will not do for
Americans to drink Mexican liquor.
Undkk the new constitution of Florida
the senate consits of 32 and the house of
representatives of 08 members, making
100 in all. The senators hold tlieir
oillces for four years, but one-lialf are
elected every two years. The members
of the house hold their offices for two
years.
Cholera, which is slowly and very
gradually rclaxiug its hold on Southern
Europe, is spreading rapidly in South
America, and may overrun this hemis
phere, now that it is firmly established.
The Spanish-A merican countries odor r.o
barriers to its progress, but rather invite
attack. The danger to this country is
probably as great now as it was when the
epidemic was at its height in Europe.
The Courier-Journal very heartily con
gratulates the New York Sun that it has
at last made a true political prophecy.
It said that Taylor would be elected gov
ernor of Tennessee, and the official count
shows that Taylor has been elected by a
majority vote of 10,701. Taylor has also
been defeated by n like vote, but a
prophecy that does come true and also
does not come true is as much as can be
expected of the Bun just at present.
TIIK COLUMBUS ANI) WESTERN.
Yesterday morning we published a let
ter from one of the directors of the Cen
tral railroad In which many people in
this community were very deeply inter
ested. That part of the letter which
perhaps interested them more than any
other was the reference made to the ex
tension of the Columbus and Western
railroad.
TIIK VANITY OK KARR.
An esteemed New York cotemporary
discusses the vanity of fame, and speaks
of the late President Arthur as an
illustration. “Poor Arthur! "exclaims
our cotemporary. ftaving tasted the
sweets of power lie did not find “life
worth living” when he had stepped
down from the high station. Other men
before him did not find life worth living
hccauBo they failed to reach the goal of
their ambition in the presidency and so
died of a broken heart."
And yet what does it all come to? Four
years of adulation, cither sentimental or
selfish, and then forgetfulness or neglect.
Of all the men who have boon president
but one survives, and, except for his
family and friends, Mr. Ilayes might as
well be dead. Yet when he was in
office even many who now sneer at him
celebrated him as a great man, and
“crooked the pregnant hinges of the
knee, that thrift might follow fawning.”
Was not Mrs. Hayes then the “first lady
of the land?" Were not her eyes, her
bearing and appearance described by the
gushing Jenkinses of the period? And
yet Mr. Ilayes is to-day a chicken-far
mer, and his estimable wife no longer
gives direction to society or point to
gossip.
It is an old story. Who remembers
cabinet officers of past administrations ?
Except for half a dozen names, what sen
ators of all the procession that has filed
slowly through the upper house of con
gress have now a living fame? Who reads
their "great speeches?” The question
which Emerson imagined the stars ask
ing of the citizen who caine blazing witli
zeal from a caucus, “Little man, why so
hot?" might well be asked of all those
who are struggling and scheming for po
litical preferment, with their whole
thought on their own fame, and none on
the opportunity to render public service.
“Why so hot? You will soon be forgotten
like the rest.”
TIIE FLORIDA SENATORMIIP.
The Florida press is busy selecting a
successor to the love-lorn and self-exiled
Senator .Tones. From the assiduity dis
played by our brother journalists over
there in the “free for all” and rough and
tumble search for the “best man for the
position,”, any one would imagine that
the general assembly had a minor
role to play in making up the moment
ous decision. But after all, the assiduous
perseverance displayed by our brethren
of the press iB not only praiseworthy but
positively beneficial—both to the mem
bers of the general assembly and to the
public at large. If there is anything
rotten in the crowded Denmark of can
didates, the press will nose it out and ex
pose it. If a first-class man is not chosen,
the crime of omission cannot be saddled
upon the press.
While the papers of Florida are dis
cussing little else besides the senator-
ship, we have observed with some sur
prise that the journals of other and ad
joining states have up to this time dis
played an unusual reticence regarding
the entire matter.
Tlie KNurutuH-Sux feels considerable
interest in the senatorial election in
Florida. This paper has a large circula
tion in that state,and it has been its poli
cy always to keep, posted upon the men
and the issuos that come to the surface
from time to time in the changing whirl
if Florida politics. Besides, it is amatter of
North Carolina district, is possibly the youngest
congreKHinau-elect in the country. He is but
thirty-two.
By tills day next week the newspiperr will be
discussing the proceedings of congress. It seems
but a few weeks ago that wo were reading of the
adjournment.
It Is reported that Perry Belmont will remove to
Now York city and endeavor to secure a nomina
tion from one of the city districts when his pres
ent term expires.
The state of Rhode Island only has one morn
ing daily newspaper, and when her chief of po
lice wants to stir up a little interest in the en
forcement of tlie prohibition law he has to
placard the state with proclamations.
The useless verbiage which cumbers legal doc
uments finds a staunch opponent in David 'Dud
ley Field. His latest argument is that the people
orNew York pay $100,010 annually for recording
tlie surplus words in their mortgages.
A story is going the rounds about a courier of
the esar who made a Journey of 589 miles by rail
in thirteen hour , with a trunk containing clothes
for his imperial master. It is very evident that
the czar wants slat istics on tlie rapidity with
which lie can get out or the way when the next
nihilist takes after him.
Senator Evarts considers that not an act of
American history made such an impression upon
the people of Europe, who were watching intent
ly the progress of democratic government in this
country, as the result of our diiferenccs over the
election of a president in 187G. Tlie soberness
and the patriotism with which we approached
the crucical test of democracy and sett ed our
differences peacefully advised the whole world
that the principle of democratic government
was firmly founded and established in the re
public.
WHAT THE EDITORS NAY.
It appears that the editor of the Haynesviilo
True Citizen is living on 'posom—the fat of the
lend, so to speak.
The readers of the Barncsville Mail, already a
bright paper, has the promise of Editor Harris
that it shall be still brighter for the future.
The Athens Bannor says: Two young ladies
will wait on the young people when they want
candy from Hampton's.
The probabilities are that quite a number of
young ladies will wait if they depend on the
young people to get it. What is everybody’s
business is nobody’s business, so it iB said.
An Augusta Chronicle edior tlias been to Flori
da and takes this way of telling it:
Just think of a man sailing on the St. John’s
river or eating oranges off the trees on its banks
one morning and the next morning scouring Au
gusta for the latest news from the front! Rail
ways are modern magicians.
The editor of the Atlanta Journal is a kind-
hearted man. Hear him:
It is reported that Geronimo is “dying by

accorded to one of his prisoners.

What Mr. Comer lias to sav in regard
to this enterprise comes with u show of j national importunes to the democratic
authority. Our people hiivo all along . pm-tv, at least, t hot at this particular
believed- that it was the intention o( the i juncture n man should lie chosen to rep-
present management of the Central rail- regunt Florida in the senate upon whose
road to extend tlie Columbus and West
ern to Birmingham. But the contest in-j
trodueed by Col, Alexander and his |
friends to obtain control of the road has
produced a fear that if they were suc
cessful tlie extension would be thwarted.
Tlie letter of Mr. Comer, however, is re
assuring, and shows that such an emer
gency has already been provided against.
He assures the public that “this exten
sion is now under contract to reliable and
experienced railroad builders, and is to
be computed by September loth next.”
That provision has already been made
for meeting the expense incurred in the
extension, is shown by the fact that it is
to lx* paid for from the proceeds of bonds
of the Columbus and Western road, anil
that “the sale of these bonds has already
been negotiated at a premium." The
stockholders of the Central will be grati
fied to learn that the extension will he
accomplished without drawing from tho
earnings of the Central, or depriving its
stockholders of dividends. In face of the
fact that tho road is now paying an 8 per
cent, dividend, this is a matter of no
small moment,
A very important feature in the value
of this extension, is thus set forth by Mr.
Comer: “Itis difficult to estimate the
value of this extension, for in addition to
the large local business which must be
exchanged with Kansas City, Memphis
and Birmingham and all intermediate
points, it makes, in connection with the
Ocean Steamship Company, the shortest
freight mileage routo in existence be
tween Kansas City, Memphis, Birming
ham and other points on the line and
Boston, New York, Philadelphia and
Baltimore. To do (his additional business
over the Central will require very little
additional expense, except the actual op
eration of additional trains, though it
may necessitate additional steamers for
the Ocean Steamship Company, but
which can be paid for out of the sinking
fund of that company, it being remem
bered that $100,000 per annum is added
to this fund from the earnings of that
Company.

ELECTION NOTICE.
upon
caliber and probity the entire party can
lean with confidence in any emergency
that may arise. A man who will meas
ure up to Ibis standard cannot be found

Men after this make are too precious to
be plentiful. They loom up above the
common herd like mountains; they are
rare as mountains; and like mountains,
they are not swayed by any wind.
The democracy of Floridais not pinch
ed by a poverty of brains. The half
dozen leading democrats of that, state
would reflect- credit on the party in any
state in the union. But there are candi
dates—candidates in the ' sense that the
press is urging their election—who have
peculiar fitness for the office, and the in
dications now are that this will insure
tho election of a good and competent
man. Among them is lion. Samuel J.
Pasco, president of the lateconstitutional
convention, and for many ye^irs past
chairman of tho state democratic execu
tive committee. The name of General
E. A. Perry and that of ex-Governor
Bloxham are also frequently mentioned
in this connection, while there are sti\l
others to whom the honor would not
be averse. The ability of tho gentle
men named is beyond cnvill. In this par
ticular qualification they can measure
with the tallest. But mere isolated intel
lect is only one of the integral elements
that enter into the composition of a well-
rounded statesman. Happily, these men
are not wanting in the other qualifications.
They possess a freedom from prejudice
and littleness of every kind that has ever
extorted tlie unwilling homage and ad
miration even of their direst foes. While
it is not our purpose to advocate, the
cause of any particular candidate, the
election of either of these distinguished
gentlemen would be a credit to tlie legis
lature, and they would do themselves
credit in the halls of the senate.

Delicious Food, HealthMness and Economy.
CLEVELAND’S
BAKING POWDER
Manufactured by Cleveland Brothers, Albany, N. Y., is the
PUREST, STRONGEST, MOST HEALTHFUL, and will always
be found THE MOST RELIABLE AND MOST ECONOMICAL
preparation ever produced for making most delicious, light, white,
sweet and healthful biscuits, cakes, pastry, puddings, &c., and ha3
met with unprecedented success wherever introduced during the
past fifteen years.
The public have a right to know what they are using as
food. Anything that so vitally affects the health of the family
as the daily bread we eat should be free from any suspicion
of taint, and housekeepers should demand that manufacturers
plainly state all the ingredients of compounds that are used in
the preparation of our daily diet. Do not use baking powders
whose manufacturers wholly or partly withhold from the public
a knowledge of the ingredients from which they are made.
CLEVELAND’S SUPERIOR BAKING POWDER is made only
of 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 is used in its manufacture.
New York, July 11, 1884.
In analyzing samples of baking powder purchased by myself of a
number of grocers in New York City, I find that CLEVELAND S
SUPERIOR BAKING POWDER contains only pure Grape
Cream of Tartar, Bicarbonate of Soda, and a small portion of flour.
