A new western poet speaks of the “un winking eagle.” This is mere nonsense. Everybody knows that, the eagle has always been a wing king. Murder, or plotting to murder, is a heinous crime the world over. If a mnn advises another or pays another to com mit a murder, it is as ditlieult for him to escape punishment as it would be did he commit the murder himself. If a man murders another and flees the country to escape punishment, international laws contemplate his return to the scene of the murder for punishment. A mm two long years of somber silence, Mr. Edmunds has at last told the public why he failed to support Mr. Blaine in ’84. The reason given is the very solid one that Mr. Blaine was unfit for the office, and “that there is an inextinguish able joy in being faithful to the truth.” Mr. Edmunds will have an opportunity perhaps in 1888 to treat himself to an other installment of “inextinguishable joy-" tl!K OK 1111 OF JOIIH K. OWKKN. Our dispatches yesterday announced the death of John E. Owens, the re nowned comedian, at Towsuntown, near Baltimore. He was for many years one of the most conspicuous figures of the stage on both sides of the water. As a comedian, lie was acknowledged as hav ing no superior, and very few equals. Mr. Owens lived to be seventy years old, and has been residing for a number of years past In Charleston, S. O., where he owned and operated the Academy of Music, one of the handsomest theatres in the south. He was quite wealthy, j having saved and invested a large amount of money during his extended and sue- j cessl'ul career on the stage. Those who over saw Mr. Owens in Solon Shingle, ] will be apt to lemember him always. j He was a man of warm impulses, en gaging manners, and enjoyed the friend- j ship of nearly every one with whom lie was thrown. While his habits were never as good as they might have .been, 1 morally speaking, it must be remembered that his profession lmd much to do with his life. He created merriment, for thousands of people, who will learn with regret that— "Ho Ims gone to n land of no laughter, He who made mirth for ns all.” COtl. AMI) IKON ROOM. "We publish an article Ibis morning, taken from (lie Cincinnati Enquirer, in regard to the boom at Birmingham. It noed not be questioned that coal and 1 iron is the motive power behind the j throne. Until a L w years ago almost the entire production of coal and iron was in the territory north of the Potomac and Ohio rivers. From that section al most every fool, implement and mechan ical contrivance used in the south was procured. All that is changed now. Quoting from a well informed eotempornry, it says “when flic extraordinary coni fields and iron beds of Alabama, Tennessee and Virginia were brought to light, northern miners and manufacturers were not slow ,to see their value. They quietly formed companies for opening the mines and converting (he ores into iron and steel, while northern capital was successfully invoked to build railways from the mines and furnaces to the markets of the world. As a consequence cities like Birmingham and Annis ton in Alabama, Chattanooga in Tennessee, and Roanoke in Virginia, have sprung up as if by magic. The smoke of their furnaces darken the sky and tlie bustle of a hurrying population on their streets and the busy hum of their industries is something truly won derful for the barren and rocky hills or the quiet mountain glens in which these magic cities have so suddenly appeared. These places, despite their marvelofla growth, are only in the infant stages of development. Their resources in coal and iron are practically inexhaustible and their demonstrated ability to com pete successfully with any other pro ducers make their possibilities for future influence in the industrial affairs of the country limitless. The phenomenal de velopment of the southern mineral re gion will surprise those who have not kept up with it.” TIIK PHKHIIIKKT'N POSITION. I A careful reading of that part of the i president’s message in which he refers to I the civil service will not give a great deal | of pleasure to mugwumps. There are a i grqat many democrats who would have been better pleased if the president had ! been as explicit in his message in defin | ing his position upon this question as lie j was in his letters to Benton mid Stone. ! But while the president is n man of many J words, when lie wants to use them, he is I not in the habit of repeating. In his message he simply reaffirms what he has heretofore said, and then adds : “ Our civil service reform may lie imperfect in some of its details. It may be misunder stood and opposed. It may not always bo faithfully applied. Its designs may someiimcs miscarry through mistake or wilful intent; may sometimes tremble under the assaults of its enemies, or lan guish under the misguided zeal of im practicable friends." Those who read the correspondence in the Benton case will construe this clause in the president’s message to mean that when a man, republican or democrat* be comes a part of the business organization of any administration he is hound by every obligation to assist within his sphere in its successful operation. Of course the president does not say this in so many words, but such was the infer- erence, as to govern successfully the sub ordinates must bo thoroughly loyal to the administration in power. That the president believes that the best results of administrative endeavor will not be readied with agencies dis loyal to the administration, is demon* strated by later developments in the Ben ton ease. It lias been stated $fcatt in his speeches Mr. Benton took occasion to animadvert in language quite severe upon tlie administration. A Washington special is authority for tlie statement that “the gentleman wiio brought the matter to his attention says the president expressed both surprise and indignation, saying ho had acted upon Mr. Benton’s case without any personal knowledge of his own as to the facts of the matter, but entirely upon tlie decla rations made by Benton himself and by Senator Vest and others in Benton’s be half. These declarations as to tlie tenor of Benton’s remarks, when lie made speeches during tlie late campaign, were such as to persuade the president that tlie speeches had been entirely inoffen sive. Acting upon this understanding, the president directed tlie reinstatement of Benton, because lie believed that gen tleman was frank, fair, and had been a friendly supporter of the administration. He intimated unmistakabiv, how ever, that if he had been informed of any such speeches as t hat now attributed to Benton, or had any knowledge of his making use of such contemptuous inferences and insulting personal insinuations, lie would not have dreamed of restoring Benton to office, lie said if the speech Mr. Benton made was even materially like tlie report sent on by Editor Sullivan it was a gross mis representation of hissincerest convictions und would certainly justify his second suspension. lie indicated beyond any chance of mistake that he would, as soon as he lmd time, make careful inquiry into the matter, and if it should prove that Mr. Benton hud impugned, a" this ex tract implied, his personal motives, lie would withoutbesitiition renew the order of suspension.” It will be seen that- President Cleve land will not tolerate partisan demon strations by democratic or republican office-holders, conducted on the theory that the ad ministration of the govern ment is not entitled to the confidence and respect of the people, ir is sKnxKn. The Methodist ministers in Cincinnati are debating the question as to whether it is advisable to educate white and colored children in the same schools. That question was settled t heoretically and practically before any of the Cincinnati brethren who are debating it were horn. But if t he debate doesn’t do any good, it can't do any barm. They are at liberty to “argy,” if itjwill pass away the time pleasantly. armed men, found the city of Thebe*, whose ruin* «'nnd to-day to prove the tale correct? When the nilriKtrel* were in Atlanta *o:ne one unthouRlitcdly asked them to sing the song en titled, “Smile While You Can.” The esteemed New Orlciin* 1 Icaynnp adds to the cruelty hy suggesting “it wa* torture to til one who had no jugs, and cNhld not take a smile." The following dialogue didn't htppcn over at Macon: Country editor ito brother editor)—“Ah! good morning, Brother Shears, glad to sec you; and how arc things up ut PlgvcUu?” Brother Shears — 1 “Flourishing Just at present, but Inst month we had the hog cholera pretty bad" Country editor - Tm sorry to licur that; hut you are looking well now, Brolhcr Shears. 1 ’ Nearly all the editors of the "big” and some °f the "little” Georgia dailies are asking, “Will this city be represented in the base hall league next year?” Perhaps they will, as It is about time of the year for players to patch up peace, and try to make people believe that the “national game Is respectsil-lo." Just wait until next season, and the Indians supported by the government for murder will uot he a circumstance to them. Of course the newspapers will then again slander their character, while they urc us innocent as lambs. _____ A Big Fire. Chicago, December 8.—A Times special from Buffalo, N. Y,, Rays: Kibler & Holm- wood’s live-story candy factory, the largCRt in the city, took fire at 2.30 a. m. . nd burned to the ground, together with the adjoining block occupied by Swift & Stainbacn, hardware; Frank Campbell, hats; G. W. Reynolds, shoes, and Wells Street Chapel, a small Presbyterian church adjoining, was ruined. Broeslor’s hotel, across Wells street, was on fire, but was g ut out after the window frames were urned. The surrounding property was damaged by water. The losses will prob ably aggregate $200,000. Garrett Re-elected. Baltimore, December 8.—The Balti more and Ohio directors to-day re-elected Robert Garrett president. Dr. Barnard, assistant to President Garrett of the Balti more and Ohio railway, was called upon this afternoon in relation to a dispatch from Atlanta, Ga., regarding rumored con templated connections of that road in the south, and he said that it was the first he had heard of it. While he would make no reply, he said to the interviewer; “1 will simply laugh you out of the office.” The other officials of the Baltimore and Ohio declared there was nothing in it. Dynamite and heath. Fort Smith, Ark., Deconiber8.—Two men were killed and three wounded, per haps fatally, by a dynamite explosion at Black Loon tunnel on the San Francisco extension yesterday. The explosion was caused by drilling in an old hole in the heading of the tunnel on the north side' when the drill struck several forgotten dvnamite cartridges at the bottom of the hole causing the fearful catastrophe. A Western Union Dividend. New York, December 8.—At the regu lar quarterly meeting to-day the Western Union directors voted to pass a quarterly dividend for the current quarter. HEALTHFUL FOOD. A large proportion of the baking powders in the market contain Ammonia, Alum, or Acid Phos phates, and as a matter of prudence housekeepers should insist upon knowing ALL the ingredients of their favorite brand. A knowledge of one of the ingredients is of little value, as it is no guarantee of the wholesomeness of the others; hence no reliance ' should be placed on any baking powder unless the manufacturers plainly state each and every ingredient used in its preparation. If your patronage for a baking powder has been obtained by artfully written advertisements exten sively circulated, note carefully whether or not its manufacturers impart*to the public a knowl edge of every ingredient that enters into their compound- Where this information is withheld would it not be wise to discontinue the use of that particular kind of baking powder and purchase instead one so pure and free from objectionable ingredients that there is in it nothing to conceal ? Cleveland’s Superior Baking Powder is made only of strictly pure Grape Cream of Tartar, Bicarbonate of Soda, and a small portion of flour, and does not contain Ammonia, Alum, Lime, Acid Phosphates, or any adulteration whatever.
