It costs $5000 n year to guard Vander
bilt’s tomb. The giimc isn’t worth the
candle. This reference to fire is purely
figurative.
It is said that a number of congress
men and senators own and run a faro
bank in Washington, and that a commit
tee clerk is the dealer. Perhaps it is a
sort of training school for funeral com
mittees.
An administration organ blandly says:
4 ‘ President Cleveland is in the hands of
his friends.” Maybe that’s what ails
him. He still needs a little teaching in
rqgand to a president’s duties.
well to consider, and it is that booming
didn’t make Leadvllle, Denver, ami
other strictly inland mining towns gien'
cities. It gave them mushroom growths
and left them bankrupt. Leadville’s
mining and smelting output is worth
$13,000,000 to $15,000,000 a year, and still
the town is stationary—whore it was
when the boomers had broke it and
themselves in an insane effort to make
it rival San Francisco, the great Pacific
seaport.
Tlie Knquirku-Sun lias no desire in the
world to in any way hamper or place any
impediment in the way of our people
making money, or to retard tho progress
of other cities. We mention these facts
for the consideration of our citizens who
are so wildly investing money in specu
lations at liirminghain. Investments
should be made with judgment, and our
information is that many of these invest
ors have never scon their purchases.
And if they had they knew nothing of
the character of the land. Those in po
sition to know assert that over $100,000
have lately left this city for investment
in Birmingham. Who can tell what
might have been accomplished with this
money if it had been kept ut home ?
It may come back to the investors,
we trust it will, hut it may not. Where
is the consistency of pleading for foreign
capital, when we send ours away from
our own homes? Stick to your town,
talk it, stand by jt, hack it. These are
tho sentiments that should actuate every
citizen, and with united efforts we will
eclipse tho glorious record of our past,
It is Columbus money which gave us tho
leading insurance company in the state.
It is Columbus capital that gave us the
largest cotton mills in the south. It is
largely homo funds which bedeck the
Cliuttnhoochce with handsome boats,
and it was a popular subscription that
gave tho nucleus for the new railroad.
When Columbus wills Bhe succeeds. A
strong faith in ourselves has brought us
to the present enviable point in our his
tory; it is that faith which shall lead us
on to greater triumphs.
TnE conviction of McQuade so prompt
ly by a New York jury speaks well for
the condition of the courts in that city.
Jahne first.,McQtiade second and—who’ll
be the next? Afturall there is only a bridge
of sighs between the New York City coun
cil chamber and the stnte penitentiary.
Hon. Chas. M. Croswbll who died on
Monday last at Adrian, Michigan, was
one of the better class of the old school
politicians. Ho was governor at one
time, and held many othor responsible
offices. Of late years he might have
been United States senator, but he lack
ed the two requisites required of a candi-
■date in Michigan now—gold and brass.
Some of tho labor organizations are
riddling out tho anarchists. The more
of this they do the better it will he for
their cause with the great body of people.
-Anarchists and socialists belong to a
pestilent and mischief making genera
tion. They are of no good to anybody
else, and of little good to themselves.
Labor organizations must draw the line
if they wish to lie respected and respect
able. •
The friends of Cluverius, the betrayer
and murderer of his cousin, Lillian Mad
ison, arc. still stretching every nerve to
save him in some way. If Miss Madison
•committed suicide, Cluverius is morally
responsible for her death, and he ought I fitted to the hand:
to hang anyhow. It is a pity that every
lascivious human hawk who preys upon
the innocent doves of society could not
bo hanged along with him. We need
stricter legislation in regard to the be
trayal of young girls in every state in tho
union.
I.FSSON OF THE BOODLE SYSTEM.
There has seldom in our day been told
anywhere such aBtory of unblushing cor
ruption as that which was developed in
the trial of McQuade, the Now York
alderman. It is commendable in the
courts that he should have had an im
partial trial, and that the jury, true to a
sense of duty, returned a verdict of
guilty.
The suprising thing about this whole
boodle business is that these aldermen
had the hardihood to deliberately set to
work to form a combination among
themselves by which to raise the price
of their wares. It unfortunately $rgues
a most corrupt state of society and of
politics, for while there would be noth
ing surprising in a public official yield
ing to insidious approaches and selling
ilia honor for a price any where and at
any time, any more than there would be
in the ease of any other man of
standing who fell before the power
of some strong temptation, and while it is
conceivable that a number of such weak
men might happen to he in the same
body, it is only when the whole official
tone is rotten to the very heart that tho
majority of a board could sit down and
discuss with each other the price at
which they would sell themselves,
Whenever such a slate of public morals
exists, liowev r, and great power is eoin-
of a few persons
WHERE RIG 1'UtVNS GROW.
A few days ago the Knquireh-Si'N re
ferred to the fact that history fails to
record tho permanent,progressive growth
of any city situated entirely inland.
Water must he there as a talisman of
power—as a mascot of success.
The United States census hears out the
truth of this assertion. Largo cities grow
on the water. One of our eoteinporaries,
the Chattanooga Times, has taken the
trouble to compile statistics from the last
United States census, and finds that there
■were thirty-six cities ti the United States
in 1880 having 50,000 population and up
wards, and none of these are located oil'
a considerable stream or large body of
navigable water, fresh or salt. Of the
thirty-six, three only are south of the
Ohio and Potomac rivers: Louisville,
population in 1880,123,000; New Orleans,
216,000; Richmond, 03,000. Four others
are on the border: St. Louis, population,
350,000; Washington, 147,000; Kansas
City, 55,000; Baltimore, 332,000. All these
seven cities are on great rivers, and the
largest are seaports.
There were twenty cities in the United
States having populations of over 100,000
*n 1880, fourteen of which are seaports
or lakeports, and all of the other six on
great navigable streams. The greatest of
the lakeports, Chicago, is the greatest in
the west; the greatest of the seaports,
New York, is the greatest in the country.
The greatest, except seaport and lake-
ports, is St. Louis, the biggist city in the
union away from the sea or lake, and it
is on the largest river in the world.
These cities are by no means the oldest
in the land; they have no special local
advantages for manufacturing, and still
they are the largest centers of manufac
ture, wealth, commerce and population.
Our cotemporary incidentally alludes
|o another fhet that it might be just as
who have no special standing or
character to lose, like results may ho
looked for. Some close parallels to the
course of Jaehne and his associates may
be found in the history of the rotten
boroughs nf England in the last century,
of which, the “Christian Brothers,” of
Bhorehum, which, in spite of the pious
name, was nothing more nor less than
an organization formed by a majority of
the voters in the borough of Shoreham,
in England, for the purpose of selling the
seat for the borough to the highest bid
der, is perhaps tho best example. The
plan had its manifest advantages from
their standpoint, as it enabled the organ
ization to get all thp “sugar” there was
out, and as it obviously was not worth
while for any candidate to spend any
money on the voters who were not mem
bers of the society, the candidates them
selves found it convenient to know just
how much the seat would cost, and to be
freed from the uncertainties and vexa
tions of a warm contested canvass.
Tiie enormous compensation which is
paid in New York and in other places to
certain officials, whose duties, while im
portant, do not require a tithe of the
ability and lea ning of much less well-
paid officers, are not reduced because in
point of fact, the incumbents are the ac
tual recipients of only a part of what the
public is supposed to pay them, the rest
being paid to the particular hall, faction
or club which put them in nomination,
and whose creatures they are. The tes
timony brought out by the Roosevelt
committee of the New York assembly
demonstrates that this was the uniform
practice in New York, and there is no
reason to suppose that it is confined
to that city or state. Everywhere, copy
ing after the example of the American
Babylon, the professional politicians arc
banding themselves into organizations of
a half political and half social character,
which organizations candidates soon find
they cannot hope to defy. Party honors
and nominations are in their gift. When
this state of alfairs is brought about, the
shrewd fellows who are the club within
the club have it in their power to exact
.terms exceedingly profitable to them
selves in return for the support of the
club. Power in the bunds nl’u (etv, when
divorced from all public responsibility,
always leads to abuse and corruption,
and when such power i-* committed to
the sort of men who come to the front in
the political clubs of large cities, the road
downward to the worst abuses is both
sure and swift.
ChanxiiiK tin, lIxih'iiHil Map.
Georgia in Dill of railroad scheiuen and railroad
rumors. In thin reared, It bears the flftrne rela
tion to tlio south that Kansas does to tho west.
The newest projected road is the CoUimbus and
Southern. It has been surveyed from Columbus
to Albany, eighty eight miles, by Engineer John
L. Cowan. He will start out again on Monday
with his surveying corps south from Albany,
making a lino to Buinbildge and tlience to
Tallahassee, Florida. Tills road is but an exten
sion of the Georgia Midland, which runs north to
a connection vlth the Richmond and Danville.
Tliero is much speculation as to the power
behind tills road. The Columbus representa
tives of the capitalists who have
It In charge allege that the money
is on hand to comp'eto it und that it will cut mi
important figure on the southern railroad map.
A gentleman well up in railroad matters states
that the Georgia Midland, whon completed
through to Tallahassee by thin southern exten
sion, will prove to be but un arm of the Rich
mond and Danville system, which will thu3 have
gained entrance into Florida and become a com
petitor of the Plant system. The idea is put
forth that the Richmond and Danville people
were very willing that their friend should unload
the East Georgia and Florida upon Plant for a
round sum, because they deemed the Georgia
Midland the best gate through which to enter
the great orange states. With this road they
gain, also, a territory which is rapidly improving,
both in town and country. —Louisville Courier-
Journal.
The Atlanta correspondent of the Augusta
Chronicle thus tells how Senator Butt, of this
district, brought the house to terms:
The speech of Senator Butt Saturday in which
lie referred to tho way the house was neglecting
senate bills in order to rush ahead its own meas
ures, and in which he suggested that the senate
read its own bills and left, house bills upon the
table has bad a perceptible olivet upon the bouse.
The legislature is a double-barrelled arrangtment
in which one house cannot pass anything with
out the assistance of the other. As soon, there
fore, as Senator Butt called attention to the pol*
cy ofthe houso and proposed retaliation, the
house promptly capitulated. They needed the
help of the senate in passing their bills aB much
as the senate required tbeirs, and on Monday the
whole day waB devoted to reading senate bills.
Senator Butt is at once the humorist and helms
man ofthe senate, and the mercury is lower than
freezing point when lie gets left.
The Boston Herald rises to remark:
“In the last five or six years great changes
have taken place in the south. There has been
• great deal of railroad building, by which
facilities for transportation have been ailorded to
large extents of territory which had previously
been but poorly supplied. The Iron, coal ana
steel industries have undergone an enormous ex
pansion, and in a number of the cities and
towns manufacturing industries of a variety of
kinds have sprung up."
This is not news but it is gratifying to observe
that our brethren, even in remote parts of the
country, recognize the truth of it. The south is
on a big boom in the way of development, and
Columbus should put the best foot forward in
taking it at^the floodtide.

These goods have to be seen and worn to be appreciated.
Those who have tried them pronounce them superior to any
thing ever offered for anything near the price. Kid Gloves,
to be good and wear well, must be newly made of soft, elastic
skins arid freshly tanned. If they lay in stock long the skin
becomes dry and harsh; it is sure lo follow that a very large
percentage will crack, and in many instances the seams part
in putting on the first time. To prove the accuracy of the
above statement, I have sold 25 dozen the past ten days and
have not had one complaint—not one has “proved faulty; not
one has parted seams. Can more be said of Gloves that are
sold daily for 50 per cent more? I hope the ladies of Co
lumbus will appreciate this effort to give them fresh Gloves
at a very low price, and give us their trade.
