The sprint; elections in the West,
with the exception of the Chicago
municipal election, where the result
"as largely influenced by local
questions. show democratic gains.
In Michigan the democrats have
gained a victory that is as gratifvmg
as it is decisive. The Savannah
News thinks, and justly so. perhaps,
that the success in Michigan and the
democratic gains in municipal elec
tions in other states cannot be
interpreted otherwise than as mean
ing that the people are Ratified with
the course the administration is
pursuing. The country is apparent
ly satisfied that the President s pur
pose Is to administer his great office
tor the lHMiefit ot the people, and not
in tlie interest of a pariv. If noth
ing occurs to change this feeling ot
confidence that the purpose* of the
administration will be patriotic and
unselfish, the case with, which demo
cratic victories, wiil he won will
increase.
WOMAN'S POWER.
We learn that Adam, whom God
breathed into life, yielding to that
influence which, from Eve’s creation
til! now. has ever been a tremen
dous power in the earth, lost hi*
Kdcnic home.
In that yielding, the devil claimed
a foot-hold in this world, and has
been battling tor supremacy ben*
from then till now and is battling
still. His ready conception of means
to an end render him a strong ad
■ versary in moral conflict*. Prior to
, the Christian era, the law, in nil its
force, was arrayed against his Satan
ic powers.
For eighteen hundred years,
Christ’s gospel, with all the moral in
fluences and powers growing out
therefrom, have been opposing bis
advances, but tins Graccian horse
(Mimes into communities, into
towns, into cities, and wherever hu
man beings are found and disgorge
ing his minions, sends them on their
mission, into the high-ways and
hedges, with instructions to drag hu
manity down to hell.
His mission on earth is to convert
the world into a Pandemonium.
Shall he succeed? Will the millions
of intelligent, reasoning, thinking,
immortal beings inhabiting theearth
in the noonday splendor of the ch Hai
tian era, and basking in the rays of
divine truth, that permeates every
part of the habitable globe, submit
to this king of evil? With the lights
of revelation before us we cannot be
lieve it. in addition to the proclam
ation oft he gospel from our pulpits,
various methods have been and are
being resorted to, to effect a refor
mation of many moral evils abroad
in the world.
Young men's prayer meetings,
young men’s Christian associations,
religious .social clubs, temperance
societies and various reformatory
clubs, are being brought to bear,
with a general reformation of our
young folks, as the desired ultima
tum. These are bringing forth some
good fruit; they are praisworthy
means and their object is laudable;
nor have wo aught to say against
their vigorous prosecution, and would
rejoice to see them culminate in the
perfect moral reformation of all men
of all ages. But what we do say is,
that to purify the steam we must
purify the fountain. And, as with
humanity, habit is second nature,
and the more indulged, the stronger
it becomes, to accomplish this much
desired reformation, the younger
nsijto begin. At o'nt.ones
assert that thegnViPwWoung ladies
of the world, hold the power to re
form the world. Men are called kings
of the world, but these fair creatures
are the queens who hold the moral
supremacy over these kings, and
who can say to them thus tar in im
morality and bad habits, can }'e go
and no further. These young ladies
can do more to correct the evil and
immoral tendencies and habits of
voting men, than all the temperance
unions and reformatory clubs and
schools in Christendom combined.
For if the young ladies of America
would constitute themselves into an
American reformatory association,
and determine and strictly adhere
to the same, that they would neither
receive the attention of, nor associate
with any young man addicted to
any immoral habit, there would in a
very short period, be accomplished
the grandest, greatest and most per
fect moral reformation, the world
ever saw. Because no young man,
with a spark of humanity in his soul,
would submit to female ostracism by
cleaving to a habit, which his own
conscience dictates, works nothing
but moral ruin, except the self aban
doned who would immediately drift
into bachelor-hermitage and come
forth no more to poison human so
ciety. What can be accomplished
on a broad scale can be accomplish
ed on a smaller. This result is at
tamable and the means are at hand,
and if attained, and if there are a 113-
young men now on the pathway to
moral ruin, on account of the domin
ion of evil habits over them, thev
will rise up in a noble manhood in
after 3-ears, and call these reformers
thrice blessed.
Our young lady readers, may im
pute to us extravigant ideas, when
we assert that if they are not, they
1 can be the regulators of the morals
of the young men. because thev have
the power and are privileged to use
it. By the term young ladies, we
mean to include all. And whenever
and wherever they as a whole, de
mand that the young men shall do
that, and that only which will ren
tier them worthy the world’s respect
and a lady’s affection, and that thev
shall live on the highest plane of
morality, they will obey. Try it.
Tell It As It Is.
The tendency or inclination to
prevarication should be strangled
in its incipience. Because if nurtur
ed at ail it rapidly grows into habit,
and nothing ever gets a stronger
dominion over man than habit.
Sometimes people with no mean
intent through inadvertance, bv
very slightly adding to or taking
from something they repeat put in
motion currents productive of harm,
ami thereby gender ill feeling and
>;:-:(e which destroy the happiness
ot others. I'ho easy way to avoid
those results i- to toil it as it is.
TECHNICAL SCHOOLS.
We have for year* advocated tech
ni> a! training as the grand avenue
to prosperity for our country, and a*
the leaven for modern crime. But
the following from lion. Thomas
Hardeman's speech delivered in the
house of Representatives, Feb. 26.
1 85 so clearh* express our views
on this subject, that wc here quote
the same, “Wc want an education
that will diminish idleness, and in so
doing decrease pauperism and drunk
enness and crime. Wc want tvs lias
been well said “more of the gospel
of work” preached to our children,
winch shall lift them out o*‘ strug
gling poverty into a state of coni
pcntency. Then crime will dimin
ish and our prisons will remain com-
empt3'. Toach the young
to work ; prepare them for it 03- ed
ucation and 11*03- will more cheerful
ly pursue it, and thus you will havo
industrious young men earning an
honest living and turning their backs
upon crime and prison houses. This
is no idle conjecture. In those places
where industrial training has been
taught for a series of years, crime
has diminished and pauperism has
almost disappeared.”
Again, after producing compre
hensive historical and statistical facts
proving that common education does
not lesson crimes he said, “Greece,
when her heavens shone with the
light of learning and philosophy,
when learned historians wrote and
poets sang, was filled with depraved
masses; her temples reeked with
the blood of her murdered citizens;
revolution after revolution convuls
el the state until her liberties were
destro3*ed and she fell a pre\ T to con
tending facti ms. Rome, in the
very zenth of her intellectual splen
dor, tyranized over justice and re
ligion and filled the pages of her his
tory with crimes at which civiliza
tion 3-et pales. France was in a
blaze of intellectual light and the
fires of genius were burning with
brightest luster, when infidclit}* and
corruption destroyed the church,
overthrew her liberties and deluged
her lan 1 with the blood of anarchy
and revolution. Awtiy then with
the idea that the education of the
people will give sta.l)i 1 ity- to govern
ment, close our prison doors, and
open the millenial gates. Such is not
the lesson of histoiy. Illiteracy per
se is not the cause of crime; it is to he
deplored, but do not burden it with
evils that lie not at its door. There
will never be ignorance enough in this
country to t hreaten its perpetuity, and
"’hiehjlod forbid, it.
will be by 'those r .afi
ucated and learned.
Pauperism and its offspring, in
temperance and insubordination to
authority, may be the rocks upon
which this government m3’ be
wrecked, and the study- ot the patri
ot should be, how to prevent it. The
preventive is found in that Heaven
ordained decree “in the sweat oftlre
face shaft thou eat bread, till thou
return unto the ground.” To escape
these evils, we must elevate and ed
ucate the working people and popu
larize labor l>3’ educational prepara
tion for the great work of life, and
this can be best accomplished by a
well devised sj’stem of industrial
training.
Then, begin the system. Educate
3-our bo3’s to work, work S3’stemati
call}', work intelligently, work
scientifically, and labor will be no
longer “subjected to social degrada
tion'’ for it will be guided b3* educa
tion and indentified with culture.
In the language of one of Englands
n>3'al family ‘‘Let, learning and earn
ing go together.” Make hand-work
a part of the education of your chil
dren and thev will grow np consci
ous of their ability to carve out their
own fortunes, and command while
so doing the respect of their fellows
and the confidence ami support of
society and government.”
FALSE ASSUMPTION.
It has become a modern custom
for men elevated to position, and
invested with limited powers, to
assume prerogatives and privileges
which are not delegated. Especial
ly is this true in affairs of govern
ment. Whether long practiced
political corruption has wrought
this result or not we know not.
But that this assumption is true, is
evidenced by current events. This
is clearly manifested by the attitude
of some members of congress, rela
tive to recent appointments, to
office. (Congressmen are even claim
ing the right to nominate, if not to
dictate whom the president shall
appoint to certain offices, as eviden
ced by the recent contest between
congressman Bynum and vice
president Hendricks over the post
mastership of Indianopolis. We
have been taught that congressman
were legislators chosen by the people
to make laws, and that the president
was chosen to excute the laws made,
and it this is true, a representative
to congress has no more right to
dictate to the president, whom he
shall appoint to office in his distinct,
than any other citizen of as good
character. The president being the
chief executive, his first duly is the
selection of men, to aid him: and
being chargable with the adminis
tration of the government, it is clear
ly his right to call on such men as
he may choose, to aid him in the
discharge of this duty, his choice.
in important appointments • being
wisely restricted b3‘ the confirmation
or consent of the senate. However
we deem it but just and proper as
well as prudent for the president,
owing to the large number of ap
pointments, in deciding upon the
best men for the same, to advise
with representatives of the people,
relative to appointments in their dis
tinct. This is well and urn- other
course, would be rather arbitrary.
But in the distribution of officers the
legislative and executive depart
ments should be “as distinct as the
billows.”

NEW ORLEANS.
What We Saw at the World’s Exposi
tron.
Mn. Ktutor.— On Sunday morn
ing, March 22d, a party <>t thirt>--two
persons of Forsyth and surrounding
country, boarded a special car for the
world's exposition. At m. Capt.
Renau. of the Central, in the usual
admouetorv railroad dialect exclaim-
ed, “all aboard!”
After the ancient custom of wav
ing 'kerchiefs, etc., had been perform
ed and the noise and fuss inside the
special ear had subsided, an investi
gation disclosed the following ladies
booked for the trip : Mrs. R. T. As
bury, Mrs. Rebecca Poe, Misses llu
disillc. Miss Lillie Zellner, Mrs. T. B.
Cabaniss, Mrs. C. A. Turner. Mrs. C.
O. (roodwyn. and Miss Clyde Stone.
These ladies realized in all its fullness
and force the comforts and honor of
being attended and escorted by the
following named distinguished, hon
orable and illustrious gentlemen :
Hon. B. 11. Zellner, l)r. B. I*'. Rudi
sille, Rev. James Evans, Dr. Rosser,
Hons. T. B. Cabaniss and C. A.
Turner, Ed. Walton, W. E. Sanders,
Will Walton, John 0. Ponder, 11. G.
Gibson, Thou. MeGough, C. O. Good-
W3'tie, R. B. Stephens, J. G. Faulk,
Fannie Walker, B. C. White, Joe
Wiison, J. C. Fleming, W. D. Gibson,
and Charlie O. Stone.
A rapid run of a few hours, the
throttle was closed and the breaks
pressed down and we haultod at the
union depot in Atlanta. Maty o
our party took advantage of the two
hours “halt” in Atlanta, and visited
the famous Kimball House, just now
nearing completion. This building
is grand in proportions (being seven
stories high, with a vast number of
rooms,) as well as beautiful and ar
tistic in its design and finish. The
citizens of Atlanta and the empire
state may well bo proud of this
gigantic building—superior in gran
duer and greatness to aiy in the
demonstrate to the future
daughters of the state, the enterprise
energy and indomitable pluck and
push of their fathers.
At 3 p. m. we again occupied our
special car, and pulled out slowly
from the wonderful capital of our
state. A few minutes ride brought
us to East Point, and after a few
moments stop we again began our
journey, going to the right instead ot
the old track that lead back to our
homes. At this j>oint we began for
the first time to realize that we were
fully on our way, as the huge mons
ter of an engine, puffing and belch
ing forth great wreathes of black
smoke and sparks of fire, apparently
working herself into a “bullish” fury
and frenzy, as she labored along to
the first station.
A stop of a moment, and the gal
lant, princely “cuss” of an engineer,
who hold in the twitching of the
muscles of five fingers the lives, hopes
and expectations ot two hundred or
more persons, with a devil-may-care
grace, born of gentility, threw open
the throttle of his pride and pet, and
off she sprang like a young deer,
speeding along with increasing rap
idity, untii she finally spread herself
like a sleuth-hound, huging the iron
rails like a thing of life—then we
realized we were checked through,
and destined to make the trip wheth
er the end was Orleans, the devil or
the grave.
The greater the distance, the fast
er the running, the livelier the,
youngsters of our barty grew, andj
the more cheerful and boyish oui
honored old friends and chaperones,
Judge Zellner and Dr. Hudisille, be
came. 'l'he general dnll and monoto
nous feelings that hovers and settles
around one like a dark pall, in a
continuous ride on the cars of six
hundred miles, was dispelled by tin
cheery laughter, witty sayings and
rich and caustic reparteofthc young !
sters of the party.
The generally sedate and solemn
countenances of our friends, Judge
Zellner and Dr. liudisiSle, which are
so generally exempted from and un
used to the facial contortions that
accompany a hearty laugh, grew
more cheerful and boyish as we sptd
along this great highway that coi
ned* the rich valley of the Missis
sippi with her northern sister states.
Our entire party caught this spirit of
levity and fun : and thus the entre
passage was crystalized into one of
the most happy, pleasant and sat's
lactory excursions that ever fell to
the lot of such a party.
In your next issue, Mr. Editot. I
will undertake to give you a detaled
and critical account of some thugs
we saw at the exposition.

THE SHAM ANL) THE REAL.
Every good thing has its host of
imitators; every genuine article its
counterfeits. Bad manners and
wicked habits have theirs also; but
he who shams the bad never boasts
of it, while thev who ape the virtues
of the goqd or simulate the genuine
-never hesitate to place the counter
feit public in their most
alluringjones. When these people
imitate thev always choose a pro
nounced type or popular subject to
copy from ; and when they claim to
be as good as *So an l-So,” or to seil an
article equal to -So and-So,” the
public mav dejiend upon it that Mr.
-So-amfcwi" and his article are
always the best of the kind. Thus
the sham is always proving the
gcnuiiuvmurit of the thing it copies.
A firm of enterprising gentlemen
produce and popularize an article of
iiousehliltl use, such as the Royal
Baking Powder, whose convenience,
usefulness, and real merit make for
itself ah immense and universal sale.
A hundYed imitators arise on every
hand, and as thev hold out their
sham 'Articles to the public, yelp in
ehorus(r“Buy this ; it s just as good
as Koval, and much cheaper !” The
Royal Baking Powder is the stan
dard uo world over, and its imita
tors iXtheir cry that theirs is -as
are all the time
emplflncitig this fact. In their la
borious attempts to show by analysis
and otherwise that the “Snowball”
brand has as much raising power"
as the Royal” ; or that the “Resur
rection’ powder is as wholesome “as
PoyaL” ;or that the “Earthquake”
brand is “as pure as the Royal,” as
welblts by their contortivc twistings
ot chemical certificates and labored
: etforts to obtain recognition from the
Government chemists and prominent
scientists who have certified the
superiority of Royal over all others,
they all admit the “Royal" to lie the
acme of perfection, which it is their
.highest ambition to imitate. But
the difference between the real and
imitations, which copy only its
general appearance, is a* wide as
thal between the paste and the true
diamond. The shams all paj' hom

Blood and Strone Nerves.
At 19 years of age 1 was afflicted
with fearful pains in my head, eyes,
shoulders and right side, and began
to spit blood. I tried quite a num
ber of physicians, whose medicines
ot*l y* brought temporary relief. They
called it cold, and after exhausting
their treatment, said I was sure to
die. Being an orphan, and in poor
health all my life, I thought death
would be a relief. Thus, for twelve
3*ears, I suffered. My only solace
was in morphine. For two 3-ears 1
never slept day or night without
morphine, so intense was my suffer
ing. During the spring of 1881 I
was induced to try Swift's Specific.
iJ acted like a charm. It was a God

Dry Tetter Cured.
I have been afflicted with a dis
ease termed Dty Tetter, and have
applied various remedies, but to no
permanent good. I saw an adver
tisement announcing that Swift's
Specific had cured Mr. James Dun
ning, of Louisville, K3’.. of this ter
rible disease. I procured thirteen
bottles at once and began its use.
At the end of seven months there
was not the least sign of tetter on
m3’ person, nor has there been a
single S3-mptota of its return up to
date. Therefore I cheerfully re
commend Swift’s Specific to all who
fare afflicted with this painful dis
ease. 1 am very thankful that I
ever heard of Swift’s Specific. It
has brought health and happiness to
