President Oteweland barl the coueage
not only not to appoint the maw the
whisky ring dcnißtidcd, htft ap
point the wan it did uni waift. It l
neediest te add that the whole coun
try, outride llte combination, heartily
apldauded the heroic fldeWiv of lb*
President.
Another severe test is about to he
made of the power of iSie whisky
ring and ot the integrity -of President
Orfveland and Secretary Manning.
McCulloch, the late Secretary of the
Treasury, arbitrarily tpostponed the
payment of the due whisky taxes tor
.even months. The extended pe
a-ind (or the payment will
ooh come, and the whisky
a peculators are in no Wiler condition
*o pay Ilian they were seven months
*go. They now want another arbi
trary legislative order frem an ad
ministrative officer, and Secretary
Manning is expected to repeat the
'flagrant usurpation of Secretary Mc-
Cullough.
A tew years ago the whisky men
could have had a repeal of the whis
ky tax, but they dad not desire it and
aggressively resisted all effort to re
llctc their businees of the oppressive
exaction. They ld conceived the
scheme of a complete combination of
the leading whisky interest of the
the country that would crush out all
the small producers, and they there
by created a gigantic monopoly that
soon made Itself more powerful than
the government. When they had
consummated’!he whisky ring monop
oly, they would neither assent to the
repeal or reduction of tlio whisky tax
nor would 'hey pay It.
Unfortunately for the monopolists
and jobbers oltiio country, there lias
been a change of national authority
dial means something mor* than a re
moval of otto class of jobber to lie re
placed by their fellow Jobbers nomi
nally outlie oilier side, and President
Cleveland and Secretary Manning will
doubtless re-assert the official integ
rity and courage exhibited In the
appointment of tho commissioner of
revenue. There Is no law to war
rant the arbitrary postponement of
the collection of the whisky taxes that
are due, any moro than there is law
to warrant the remission or postpone
ment of any othei debt due the gov
ernment. Any technical lawyer, if
well paid, could likely find some way
to furnish an opinion in favor of law
lessness In this ease as In any oilier
ease; hut the plain mandate ot the
whisky law is that the tax shall lie
paid when due, just ns other taxes
and debts are payable.
It will be alleged that (lie whisky
interest is paralysed and that great
loss will ensue In the distillers if they
are compelled to obey the law. In
other words, they will plend for relief
from the tax they persist in impos
ing upon themselves (o give them an
absolute monopoly,because they have
more whisky than they can sell. Like

men, llte woollen men and alnioit

ftieitd called on him in the evening
•previous to his spcechlcssness, and
! immediately after his departure llte
patient fell asleep, to Vwakcn unable
to speak, except to give a brief order
to his nurse. He said that, when the
famous peace comiiiissidn called on
him and President Lincoln lit Virgin
ia, lie saw Alexander 11. Stephens for
the first time. He hd hoard mneli of
the southern statesman, <wrt, on seeing
him in company with (tie other com
missioners, lie thought him astonish
ingly big. Stephens wore a Huge
overcoat, made of some rude mutoriai
—coarser, the general said, than any
any Canadian cloth he had overseen.
The collar was more comprehensive
Ilian any lie had come across, the tails
touched the ground and the circum
ference was in keeping with the lest
of the ample proportions. In Grant’s
headquarters Stephen's took off the
coat, and revealed himself the slender
and in every way diminutive man lie
had been represented to be. It was
llie garment that had afforded bulk.
The |ieacc commission went up on
the York river to see Lincoln, and a
few days after the President came
down to meet Grant.
“Did you see Stephens?” Lincoln
asked.
••Yes, sir/* replied Grant.
“See him in hia overcoat ?”
“Yes, sir.”
“Well,”and Lincoln roared witli
laughter, “ain’t that the tittlcst ear

Grant toid the story with gusto,
and seemed to especially recall Lin

A lion t three year* ago there ap
peared on my right breast several
hard lumps which gave me almost in
tolerable pain. They continued to
grow, and Anally developed inlo what
the doctors called cancer of the breast.
In a short time 1 found my strength
gone and my constitution a total
wreck. From a robust woman Iwa
reduced to a helpless invalid. Scvci
al of the liest physicians of Atlanta
treated me for cancer, hut without
improving my condition In tire least,
and finally agreeing that they could
do nothing moro tor me. The cancer
by tills lime was eatlrg out ntv very
life,ami for five months I was helpless
bedridden creature. About one year
ago. at the suggestion of a friend. I
commenced the useot Swifl’aSpccUlc,
Thu first iiidueuce ot the medicine
was to increase the discharge, hut af
ter a month or moro l began to im
prove and tins wonderful medicine
has brought back by health again. I
now do my own houso work, I am
perfectly free from pain, and feel like
a now person altogether. I cannot
feel 100 grateful for his wonderful
recovery, for I am satisfied if it had
not been for Swift's Specific I would

Batata* Ooseona in This Country Not
LUaaly to ba an Important Industry.
[From Harper* Magazine.)
The silk industry, whieit has be
come so large an interest in this coun
try, is purely a manufacturing oue,
getting its taw maternal altogether
from abroad, duty free. The manufac
turers do not expect much reiultfrom
silkraising in America, chiefly because
they think silk cannot be well reeled
in this country at any satisfactory
price. A demand for protective du
ties oo the raw material would also
lend to reduce the margin for manu
facturers, should silk growing become
an intcrestofimportai.ee. It is stated
I hat girls in the French filatures earn
only from one to one and a half francs
(twenty to thirty cents) a day, and in
those ot Itailv seventy-five centimes
to a franc (fifteen to twenty cents)
for fourteen hours’ work, while equal
ly skilled labor here should return
nearly a dollar. Moreover, silk valued
at four to five dollars per pound can
he brought to New York from Japan
at from litre* to eight ecu: per pound
freight.
The promising field for American
illk growing in America seems, there
fore, to he restricted chiefly to that cl
a subsidiary industry for women and
children, who would not otherwise
lie at work, and then under the disad
vantage of “house reeling.” Whether
the production of cocoons, not tor reel
ing, hut for direct use by the growing
industry of spun-silk manufacture,
might prove profitable, is very ques
tionable, in view of the low price
(about seventy-five cents per pound)
paid for cocoons.
Nevertheless a “Women’s Silk Cul
ture Atsoclation,”oiic of tlie direct re
sults of llte Centennial Exposition, ex
ists in Philadelphia, with the purpose
of promoting silk culture a. profitable
work for women. This was organised
with a“purely philanthropic” purpo
hv Philadelphia ladies, headed by
Mrs. John Lucas, in April. 1880; it

hand reels sold, and books of instruc

tub sham and the ueai..
Every good tiling has its host* of lm
itutor*; every genuine article lias its
counterfeits. Bad manners and wick
ed habits have theirs also; but lie
who plains the bud never boasts of it,
while they who ape the virtues of the
good or simulate the genuine never
hesitate to place the counterfeits be
fore the public in their most alluring
tones. When these pcop’e imitate
they always choose a pronounced type
or popular subject to copy from; and
when they claim to he a goed a* "So
und so,” or to sell an article equal to
*• So-a ml So,” the public ntav depend
upon it that Mr. “So-aud So,”and his
article are al way the best of the kind.
Thus the sham is always proving ten
nine merit of the tiling it copies.
A firm ot enterprising gentlemen
produce null popularize an article of
household use, such as the Koval Bak
ing l’owiler. whose convsnlnce,useful
ness, and real merit make for itself an
immense and universal sale. A hun
dred imitators arise on every hand,
as they hold out their sham articles
to tho public, yeip in chorus, “Buy
this; it’s just as good as lioyal, and
much cheaper!” The lioyal Baking
Powder is the standard the world
over, and its imitators in their cry
that theirs is “as good as Royal” are
all the time emphasizing this fact. In
their laboilous attempt* to show by
analysis ami otherwise that the
‘ Snowball" brand has as mneli raising
power “as the lioyal"; or that the
•‘KarthqUahe” brand is “as pure as
the Royal." as well as by their
eoitlortive twistings of chemical
certificates and labored ef
forts to obtain recognition from the
Government chemists ami prominent
scientists who have rerdfied Cite su
periority of lioyal over all others,
they all admit the “Royal’' 1 to he the
home ot perfection, which It is their
highest ambition to imitate. But the
difference between the real and these
imitations, wlricb copy only its gen
eral appearance, is as wide as that be
tween the paste and titc true diamond

GLADSTONE REFUSES A PEERAGE.
The Queen’s offer of an earldom to
Mr. Gladstone in this panicular crisis
of history was as timely and appr,-
priate as his declining the honor wa
delicate ami wise. Few men could
have passed through the ordeal that he
has borne these last lew years and
come out as unscathed as he has, and
finally to find himself mere honored
in his defeat than lie could have been
with any sucres* within Ids reach. In
offering Mr. Gladstone an earldom
the queen hut expressed the bqst sen
timent of England and the common
sentiment of intelligent mankind.
In truth, the dignity of a pierage
seemed-so appropriate and desirable
just now for Mr. Gladstone that at
first sight one experiences regret that
he saw fit to decline the honor. But
when It 1 rcmembeied that all his
life’s work lias been done in the
House of Commons and in ‘.lie line
of such popular reforms ami agita
tions as had iieccessarily to original
in and take lheir force from ilieCmii
tfiens, it is clear that unless Mr. Glad
stone intended to abandon the grcai
leadership of the Liberal party he
should not yet accept a peerage,
which would place him in llte lloiim
of Lords and practically tic Ids hands.
Then; have been great leaders
among the Lords, and no doubt Mr.
Gladstone, if he hail accepted this
honor, would have added another il
lustrious example ot a man who
could he exalted in rank without los
ing Ids ability oi work and influence.
But he could mu have taken the
House of Commons into the House of
Lord* ami it is great powers of argu
ment and his management of men
would have been comparatively lost
among a set of men most ot whom
arj; too dull for intelligent manage
ment. In refusing an earldom Mr.
Gladeston appear* lossy plainly that
the time for him to rest on his otar*
has not yet come. And possi >1 y the
next two or three years of Ids life
may be more brilliant than any of the
past yea: a have been.

Editors, as a rale, rsrcly ever vgice, and

They will take up the same subject and dis

will take their article* and compare them,
there will always be some point of disagree

this as well as to all other general rules, and
we propose to give ati instance where three
Georgia editors ae unanimously of the wme
