Tmc Cincinnati Enquirer in speaking
.of a railway accident that did not
happen, but came very near it, says: “It
was only averted by a dispensation of
providence, or something of that
nature.” This paper’s ideas are in conso-

cate a very clear conception of a Supreme
Being.

employed indiscriminately, and without
a just sense of fitness. The lately de
ceased congressman, who had directed
that no committee of congress should at-
| tend his funeral, was doubtless thought
eccentric by some, hut it is only because
congressional funerals have become so
much of an established abuse and scan
dal that simpler tastes respecting them
seem queer. There arc congressmen
whose deaths can bo regarded as a na
tional loss; in nine times out of ten the
loss is purely local.
1IOW UK WAS HKISKtt.
The Missouri Republican Fays that Mr.
John Roach, tho ship builder, is rapidly
nearing the end of a long, active and suc
cessful life, which might huv
without a shadow, but for his unfortunate
acquaintance with the lion. Sccor Robe
son, of New Jersey. Mr. Roach was a
fair type of the adopted American citi
zens whose energy and push have done
so much to build up the new world.
Under the suicidal republican monopoly
tariff it was impossible for him to carry
on the ship building enterprises for the
open market. Under the corrupt navy
system maintained hy Robeson and his
allies it was impossible to build good ships
for tho government, because large per
centages of tho money appropriated by
congress for naval vessels were diverted
to the pockets of these political jobbers.
Rather than go out of business, Mr.
ltoach built the kind of ships and made
the kind of repairs demanded by the
ring, and which have made the Ameri
can navy the laughing stock of the world.
In the financial troubles which overtook
him at last, Mr. Roach appears merely
as an cne-getio builder, brought to the
verge of ruin by the greed and corrup
tion of republican statesmen.
Geohoe W. Cauley, of Detroit, has occasion
ally severe pains in his stomach, with curious
swellings and bunches. He insists tljat they are
caused by a lizard which he swallowed with some
water (Yom the Chattahoochee river in Georgia
when his regiment, tho Nineteenth Ohio, crossed
it in 1804. A trcme-idous appetite and constant
thirst are among the symptoms which Carley
thinks are due to the lizard. Tho doctors think
that imagination has more to do with the case
than anything else.
Through to Tallahassee.
Columbus, Ga., December 12.— 1 The survey of
tho Columbus and Florida railroad has been
completed to Albany, ami the corps is now on its
return to this city, and will run another line to
Tallahassee, Fla.
The lino being run, Tallahassee and Leon
county should be prepared to state promptly how
much they will subscribe in land and money to
secure the preference of this route over that to
Albany. It has been repeatedly stated by the
Columbus Enquirer-Sun that the lacation of the
road will depend upon the amount of aid re
ceived along the line, and we conclude from the
tone of the newspapers in thccoumies of Georgia
between Leon and Columbus that they are pre
pared to do their share It would be treating
them unfairly and be injurious to them and dis
astrous to us if wc failed to “hold up our end”
- to do enough to determine the selection of the
route to Tallahassee. But we have no reason to
approliend that Leon county, and the portion of
Gadsden county immediately interested, will be
tound wauling in requisite liberality, public
spirit and business sense. — Tallahassee Floridian.

M’QUADE’S SENTENCE.
lion lie Took It, Anil What Ills Counsel Will Do.
Nf.w Ynnit, December 20.—The last act
in the McQuude drama seemed to have
even more interest for the public than the
scene of the trial. This morning Chambers
street and the approach to the brown
stone court house of general sessions were
thronged with hundreds of people. Ad
mission w.is free to all, and the large court
room in part two was densely packed. The
other boodlem were conspicuous by their
absence. McQnade was escorted into the
court room by Under Sheriff Sexton and
Order of Arrest Clerk Martin. There wasn’t
the hailfellow uppearanoe about McQuade
that characterized him on Friday. IIo
took his old seat and very quietly
waited for tho hour for his sentence. At
11 a. m. Recorder Smythe entered the
courtroom and took his seat on the bench.
{ Aafter the proceedings of last Friday were
clo-ed i read General Tracy, of the counsel for the
defense, moved fur uu urrest of sentence on
th( ground of the Insufficiency of the in
dictment and evidence, a mischargc to the
jury, illegal exclusion of certain jurors
from the box, and because the trial was
suspended December 14 for the bringing of
Nesbitt and Vickerman, who signed cer
tain affidavits before and in the presence
of a juror. II also moved tha.t the verdict
be set aside on the grounds that the cou.t
had ndmitted Improper, evidence against
the defendant and excluded other proper
evidence in his favor. The motions wero
denied, Tracy taking exception. McQnnde |
was ordered to stand up and did so with j
his thumbs in his pantaloons’ pockets. 1
“The defendant,” remarked Tracy, “has
nothing to say why sentence should not I
be pronounced against him. He relies
merely on his former good character and 1
the esteem in which he is still held by his I
neighbors and acquaintances, who are I
many of them here now to ask for the I
leniency of the court.” The recorder said in ;
substance: “Arthur J. McQuade, you have |
been fairly and justly convicted of bribery.
You wero elected to perform a public duty
aud a public trust. Instead of doing so
you violated that trust. Your character as
a business man or citizen, father or hus
band, is good. I have sympathy'for your
wife and family. You should have consid
ered them before you did wrong. You
did not add to the crime of which you
have been convicted of as Jaebne did, by
taking the stand and committing perjury.
I have reason to believe that you
received as much money os Duffy did—
$100,000. That money is not yours. It’s
uot the property of your family. If it is
left witli them, it will work the inevitable
result of ill gotten gains. I would advise
you to give up aud pay back to the city the
Tine English government is not pre
pared to enjoy its Christmas. Tho govern
ment has brought the Irish question to a.
crisis, and is now engaged in a death
struggle with tho land league on the is-

A ncmhkr of republican contemporn- j
ries are copying I lie following current j
(paragraph with unction and exaltation : I
“General Jackson, who originated the j
Democratic party, announced as a cardi- 1
nal principle that ‘To the victors belong |
/the spoils J It is tiiu only principle of
•that party to-day.” Well, to whom did
-the “spoils" belong during twenty-five
yyears of republican administration?
The Westchester supervisors have

which the water can lie turned at will.
All able-bodied tramps are to he put into
•this pit and they will have to bail the
water out as fast as it comes in or stand
the chance of drowning. This may lie
a joke, but if it is the perpetrators ought
to be the first to test their bailing capaci
ty in the pit. A supervisor who could
•conceive such an idea deserves ducking,
.if not drowning.

moncy which you received, and I have no
doubt it would work to your benefit. The
sentence of the court is that you be con
fined in the state prison at hard labor for a
term of seven years, and that you pay a
fine of $5000.”
During the sentence McQuade stood up,
his arms folded across his bosom. IDs
chin a little elevated, his head inclined to
one side and his brow-knitted expression
of face being that of one listening to a
voice difficult to hear. At its close he sat
down, turned immediately and with a busi
ness-like air entered into a conversation
with General Tracy, as if he were discuss
ing a bargain just consummated. After
the sentence was given the audience dis
persed. McQuade went out with his keep
ers and faithful brother, who stood by his
side throught the trial. Counsel for Mc
Quade obtained a copy of the sentence and
then left the room. McQuade was taken
to the Toombs, and after the usual formali
ties was locked up.

SPRINGER
Friday, - -
OOHUBKSSIOHAL Fl’SKUALS.
A few days ago the Enquirer-Sun
called attention to the bill introduced by
Hon. W. C. Oates, prohibiting of congres
sional committees at funerals of fellow-
members, and the draping of the public
buildings except by order of the presi
dent.
it is encouraging to note that very
nearly the entire press of the couutry
has received this bill with much favor,
and anxious for it to become a law. These
^outward demonstrations have no real
significance except to furnish the com
mittees with opportunities for junketing
trips and upholsterers with good fat jobs.
There are occasions when such symbols
of grief have national significance and
appropriateness; when they typify the
sorrow and veneration of the whole peo
ple and tend to cultivate and exalt in the
popular mind respect for the memory and
character of departed rulers, and thus in
culcate a wholesome lesson, while they
also keep alive a sense of nationality and
love of country. Yet such occasions are
of necessity rare, and they lose much of
the impressiveness that rightly belongs
Ss them, if the “trappings of woe” are
COTTON FACTS.
Visible Supply—Receipts nt Port*—'Wruthrr, KU.
The New York Financial Chronicle of Decem
ber 18 makes the total visible supply of cotton
decrease as compared with last
compared with 1884
compared with 1883
of 31)9,8*22.
For the week ending December 17 the receipts
at the United States ports reached 260,659 bales,
making the total since September 1,3,236,135
bales, allowing iv decrease of 81,911.
Tho twenty-six interior towns lor the week end
ing December 17 received 103.231 bales, shipped
159,366 and had stocks of 410,953 bales. Same time
last year they received 179,833, shipped 132,937 and
had stocks of 131.239.
The above totals show that the old interior
stocks have increased during the week 7273
bales and are to-night 69,073 bales less than at
the same period last year. The receipts at the
same towns have been 22,276 hales less than the
same week last year, and since September 1 the
receipts at all the towns are 50,815 bales less
than forthe same time in 1885.
The exports for the week ending this evening
reach a total of 198,910 hales, of which 112,442 were
to Great Britain, 15,312 to France and 71,156 to
the rest of the continent.
The Chronicle comments on its table of re
ceipts fVom plantations as follows :
The above statement shows—1. That the total
receipts from plantations since September 1, 1886,
were 3,599,028 Dttlcs; in 1885 were 3,619,613 bales;
in 1884 were 3.676,199 bales.
2.—Thut, although the receipts at the outporU
the past week were 260,659 bales, the actual move
ment from plantations was 269,527 bales, the bal
ance going to increase the stocks at the interior
towns. Last year the receipts from the planta
tions for the same week were 284,907 bales and for
1884 they were 286,755 bales.
In the table below we give the receipts from
plantations in another form, and add to them
the net overland movement to December 1, aud
also the takings by southern spinners to the
same date, so as to give substantially the amount
of cottou now iu sight.

In these suspicious times it is not enough that manufactu
rers of food preparations base their claims for patronage on
the simple statement that their goods are “ absolutely pure."
The absolute purity of a poison intensifies tho baneful effects
of its improper use. The absolute purity of ammonia, a drug
often used in the manufacture of baking powder and in
some of the powders most largely advertised, greatly
increases the force of the objection made by the most
eminent scientists of our day to the use of ammonia in food.
This protest of the medical and chemical professions is due
to the fact that ammonia—a product of decomposition—
when taken into the stomach with our daily meals is
exceedingly injurious.
Hence the public should insist upon knowing what all food
compounds contain and ALL that they contain. Let the
edict go forth that no article intended for use in the prepa
ration of our daily bread shall receive public support unless
the manufacturers’ formula be published. Then shall we have
less imposition practiced upon a confiding public, and as a
result less injury to the public health.
Cleveland’s Superior Baking Powder is made only of strictly
pure Grape Cream of Tartar, Bicarbonate of Soda, and a little
wheat flour, the latter to preserve the strength of the powder;
nothing else whatever. CLEVELAND BROTHERS,

J". ZED. CLA-ZRCS-ILILj
Ears and Scalp Covered with
Eczematous Scabs and Sores
Cured by Cutitura.
My little son, aged eight years, has been af
flicted with Eczema of the Scalp, and ai times a
great portion of the body, ever since he wus two
years old. It began iu his ears, and extended to
his scalp, which became covered with scabs and
sores, and from which a sticky fluid poured out*
causing intense itching and distress, and leaving
his hair matted and lifeless. Underneath theso
scabs, the skin was raw, like a piece of beefsteak.
Gradually the hair came out and was destroyed,
until but a small patch was left, at the back of tho
head. My friends in Peabody know how my lit
tle boy has suffered. At night he would scratch
his head until his pillow was covered with blood.
I used to tie his hands behind him, and iu many
ways tried to prevent his scratching; but it waa
no use, lie would scratch. I took him to the hos
pital and to the best physicians in Peabody with
out success. About this time, some friends, who
had been cured by the Cuticura Remedies, pre
vailed upon me to try them- I began to use them
on the 15th of January lost. In seven months
every particle of the disease was removed. Not a
spot or scab remains on his scalp to tell the story
of his suffering. His hair lias returned, and is
thick and strong, and his scalp as sweet and clean
as any child’s in the world. I cannot say enough
to express my gratitude for this wonderful cure
by the Cuticura Remedies, and wish all similar-
, ly afflicted to know that my statement is trn#
(■/ ! and without exaggeration.
ixmerac charles mckay,

I have seen Mr. McKay’s boy when badly
I affected with the Eczema. He was a pitiful
, eight to look at. I know that he hos tried onr

know that the statements he has made yon as re
gards the curing of his boy by your CUTICURA
