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 inches” in Florida. After ho has died one inch for every innocent settler lie has slaughtered in cold blood, we hope he will be put out of bis misery by a more merciful death than he ever 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. precincts in the county of Muscogee on Wednesday, the 5th day of January next (1887), for Sheriff, Clerk ol tho Superior Court, Tex Re ceiver. Tax Collector, County Treasurer, County Surveyor, and Coroner. The managers will please call at my office for the necessary blanks. This December 4tli, 1886. did F. M. BROOKS, Ordinary. 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 in any and every section of the state. 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. court grounds in each militia district of said county of Muscogee on Saturday, tho 1st day of January next, for two Constables for each dis trict, according to the statute.

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.
