In the great State of Peunsylva- eleetkm for State Treasurer win take place. For this ettee the Repub lican party has nominated Quay. The conclave of the Democracy has named Mr. Day, These two men are quite typical of the parties they represent. Quay is a politician of no small note experience. His record is not savory in the nostrils of lovers of pure meth ods and upright conduct. He is a lieu tenant of the notorious Don Cameron, whose machine has been grinding out laws and officers in Pennsylvania for yean. Quay is known to be unscrupu lous and a professional politician. It would be a public calamity for Quay to hold the Treasury keys of his huge and opulent State. On the other hand, Mr. Day is not a politician at aU. He may be a states- There is a vast difference be tween the one and the other. Certain it is, Day has been tried upon the sub ject of finance and not been found wanting. He has been tried in the balance, as a gentleman of culture ami refinement, and the country has not his superior. He has been all his life a student of finanee, and a man of large business engagements. We say, therefore, that the selection of Quay by the Republicans well represent their idea of office, that it is not a trust; but for politican trickery. And the selection of Day by the Democrats show that the platform upon which they triumphantly elected a president of the nation, will be their platform to the end, to-wit: The Government should be oondacted on business prin- ^ThatQuay will be elected is proba ble. That his astute demagogue will allow the 80,000 majority of 18P* to be swept away in the year 188'* hardly possible. 2d. In Ohio the contest of two yea. _ ago will be repeated. The Democrats It is reported that the Hon. John A. Logan “will make it warm” for Mr. Cleveland next winter. It is consider ate In Mr. Logan to select the win ter time at which' for Mr. Cleveland, especially as has not been very long sines Mr. . Cleveland made it a decidedly eold fall and winter for Mr. Logan. Frol. A. J. DeVoe, meteorologist, prognosticates as follows about the weather, in a communication to the New Orleans Tiinee-Demoerat: “Yon in ly look for remarkably hot weather in the first part, very heavy thunder showers in the middle, and very oool weather in the latter part of the ‘*~ of September.” The vestry of Dr.J. O. Armstrong*! church, after an investigation of the disparaging reports concerning him, paued the following resolution Saturday: “RmsM, That after a careful and thorough investigation of the reports which have been printed reflecting up on the Rev. Dr. Armstrong, it is the opinion of this vestry that the facts do not demand the withdrawal of confi dence in. our esteemed rector.” Dr. Armstrong Sunday last resumed his duties as rector of St. Phillips church, Atlanta. Ob the Right Line, The New Orleans Southwestern Chris- tain Advocate, a paper edited by eolor ed men, makes a manly appeal ' halt of the women of the black Starting out with the proposition that the level of the women will ever be es teemed the true level of the men, the Advocate urges a prompt and determin ed social reform. It admits that various causes, conditions and temptations in the past have debauched the eolored women of the land, and brought about to some extent the r.malgamarion of the races. This vicious state of affairs should be frowned upon by every self- respecting human being,white or black. Organisations of colored people, pledg ed to purity and morality, should be ' formed, and the support of the whites should be solicited. A crusade should be inaugurated against the systematic dehauebmentof colored women by of their own and other races. This says the Atlanta Constitution the substance of the article referred to. If the proposed reform takes sh tn-t* fairly under way, will do make the negro race happy, self-re specting and respeeted than any move ment ever started. Every deoent and well-meaning negro in the eountry should ponder well the words of the New Orleans editor, “The level of the women will ever he level of men!” A very interesting point hasjust been decided by the New York supreese court. The question was whether a man starting in business had the right to state on his sign and faoriaesi that he was “late with” so and so, bis former employer. A jeweler who had been employed in a jevelry store opened a shop of his own in the same town. On his sign and bin inset cards ho used the words “late with Ja “ VanWyek.” The latter complained that the effect ef this announcement would be to take away kis customers and in jure his business. There was n gatioa of fraud. Judge Wei holds that the defendant had no right to make sack use of the name of his former employer. Ho says: “Nothing is more completely the property of man than kis name. No person ean use it without the owner’s e» The use of the plaintiffs name to make conspicuous the rival busines name of the defendant is a clear viola tWm of the property rights ef the plain tiff.?’ The New York Herald boldly disagrees with the judge, saying that his eonemsiom U wrong and his reason ing unsound.

The other election of which wi speak will be the contest in Virginia, between the gallant Fits Hugh Lee and the sharp, but unscrupulous John D. Wise. Both of these men are scions of a noble stock.

In 1 SOI, Fits Lee illustrated his manhood by rising against the ruthless invader, in tune of warfare. In 1885 he has risen to save her from foes within, but foes as dangerous as those who marched to her destruction 24 years ago.

Sunday afternoon, at a point about eight miles from Rome, on toe Coosa, occurred one of those distress ing accidents the very thought of which rends the hearts of parents and excite* the sympathies of all. Captain F. M. Coulter, accompanied by four children, 1,1 ‘ ” '* light All work was suspended and the popu- lice turned out in the streets. But the soldiers were plentiful and their guns had started down the bateau, to meet the steamer Hill Citj upon which tho captain’s eldest dau| ter was returning homo from a visit Uodsdcn. Capt. Coulter was sitting the rear of the boat, rapidly propelL w it down the stream, whilo Miss Mary, aged fourteen and tho eldest of the children present, was in the front sit ting in a chair, and holding on her lap tho babe*, a little prattler of nearly three years, and the other two children were in the middle of the boat. Thus the happy party were rowing down the river, thinking only of the pleasure of meeting the loved one on the ap proaching steamer, when tho baby be gan crying for water. The father picked up a mussel shell and threw it to Miss Mary, telling her to give the child some water, and charging her to bo careful, as her chair might tarn over. But the warning was too late, for just as ho uttered the words the girHeaned over to get the water, her chair tilted, and she, with the babe still in Rer arms, fell into the water. As quickly as possible, the captain rounded the boat and attempted to res cue his loved ones, bat owing to the presence of the two little rirls remain ing in the lioat, he could do but little, fearing that if he left the craft they, too, would jump into tho water and be drowned. The baby rank completely from sight, never to rise again,and oi' onee did toe agonized father see his __ der child, and he attempted to catch her by the hair as her head came to the surface, but she again rank before he coaid reach her. Seeing that be coaid do nothing toward recovering the bod ies, the sorely stricken parent and weeping sisters continued down the river until the steamer was met, where, instead of the anticipated joyful meet ing with his daughter, a scene that will long be remembered by all who wit nessed it was enacted as he detailed the terrible story.
