Special attention will bo given to make this summer service satisfactory and to forward papers by the most direct und quickest routes. President Cleveland’s letters are short, but when he writes on questions of tho day he writes to the point . They are beginning to call Mr. Blaine “The Sphinx.” Is it because “The Plumed Knight” was a failure l Georgia is always ahead of her sister States of the South, and Primus Jones’ first bale of cotton isn’t needed to prove it, either. The New Orleans Picayune says that lib erty and liquor go hand in hand. Yos, but it is always the wrong kind of liberty that goes hand in hand with liquor. An English physician ailirms that under certain circumstances people can be driven crazy by the playing of a piano. It is not necessary to live next door to a school for girls to obtain proof that he is right. One of the New York papers says that the Fourth of July was more generally cele brated in the South than in the North. Well, the South luul a good deal to do with making the day one hi be remembered. On the rocks overlooking the West Shore railroad in New York somebody has paint ed in big letters; “Prepare to meet thy God.” He evidently knows that tho win ter is coming and that no suitable substitute for the reel hot car stove has yet been dis covered. The Prohibition election in Floyd county takes place on Saturday. It is believed that the Prohibitionists will win by u handsome majority. Tho ill-feeling that has been caused by the contest will last a long time. Unfortunately, this is one of the results of •ueh contests that cannot bo avoided. The other day in Columbus, tin., a gen tleman died leaving it tvife and three ilnugh ters. The oldest daughter, not yet 20 years of age, is successfully continuing her fath er's business. The blood of the proudest families in the Btate courses through her veins, but she is not above work. There ai-e people who might think over this ease with profit. Philadelphia’s “old fashioned Fourth of July” was much like the modern celebration of the day. The record of the day’s work in tho police and fire departments shows that there were seven fires, three murders and one accidental death. The numlier of smaller casualties was very large. Liquor and fire works made the day one to be remembered by some with regret. Memphis doesn’t send flowers to mur derers. as Louisville did in the ease of the brute Turner, but she treats such criminals with distinguished consideration. The other day a murderer was permitted by the jailer to attend a picnic in one of the suburbs of the city, escorted by a guard of ono man. H< had a good time, and no doubt the peo ple were inspired with deeper respect for the laws. A man and three little girls arrived in Tnllahoma, Tenn., the other day, having tramped all the way front Texas. They were returning to their home in the eastern part of tho State. The muu carried his family to Texas some years ago. He lost his all, and then his wife died. He hopes to rebuild his fortunes in the home he left. This case is but one of many. Texas doesn't prove a land of promise to all who go there. Henry George addressed ti.ooo people in Cincinnati on the Fourth of July. Ho said that the movement headed by hunself and Dr. MeGlynn was growing and would sweep everything before it. A resolution provid ing for the holding of a national conference in Octobor was adopted. While George professes to see success ahead of his move ment, there are not wanting those who de clare that next year he will sell out to tho highest bidder. In addition to emptying fifty-five jails, ns mentioned by the Morning Nkws tho other day, Prohibition in lowa has so di minished crime that for the first time in the history of the State the penitentiary at Fort Mudison is without a sufficient numlier of convicts to enable tho authorities to fill con tracts made upon the basis of the usual sup ply. It may he said, also, that in every State where prohibition has had anything like a fair trial the business of tho crimi nal courts lws boon greatly decreased. Southern Sentiment. The Courier Journal published on July ■1 letters and dispatches, which it had solic ited, from Southern men prominent In politics, showing the present political senti ment of the people of their respective States. They are very interesting reading, and prove that in the South loyalty to the Union and constitution is strong; that the pride in the country's prosperity and great ness is as marked as it is in any other sec tion, and that should it become necessary to repel a foreign foe Southerners would lie. among the staunchest supporters of the flag. A few extracts from the dispatches and letters may not lx- uninteresting. Senator Brown of this State, said: “That the Stars and Stripes may continue from generation to generation to wave over a great, prospor ousand united jieople, is, I believe, the ear nest wish of the inhabitants of all the States.” Senator Morgan, of Alabama said; “I think that our people, having no present or prospective ground of complaint toward the government, are restored to their love of the Union and the Constitution, and are for tified in the faith thafthey will yield richer blessings to generations that will follow us than we or our fathers have enjoyed.” Sen ator Fastis,of liouisiana, said: “Thesenti ment to-day ill the South of devotion to the Union is stronger than it has ever been since the foundation of the government ” Gov. Hughes, of Arkansas, said; “We have long since recognized in Arkansas that the war is over; that fraternal union and peace are of more value than keeping alivo tho unkind feelings and bitterness growing out of tho war. The periodical revival of un pleasant reminiscences and tho recollections of the bitter consequences of our late un happy struggle can, in our opinion, serve no good purpose. Wo look to tho future, more bright with promise, for the rehabilitation, development and improvement of our whole country, to which we are devotedly at-' tached.” Gov. Perry, of Florida, said: “The loyalty of the Southern people, whose nature and training incline them to prefer principle to policy, and honor to profit, is of sterner stuff than self interest, and will prove her staunchest stay should storm assail our ship of State.” Gov. Lee, of Virginia, after referring to Virginia’s withdrawal from the Union and the pride which every Virginian felt in the courage and heroism displayed by her troops in defense of her construction of the Federal constitution, said: “The sword decided the question against her, and to-day she is not retiring into a corner to indulge in dumps, but is industriously devoting herself to the development of her great resources, and to doing her share ns a co-equal American State toward the peace, happiness and pros perity of the whole country.” Tlk-hi' few selections express the sentiment of the South. The Southern people are at tached to the Union and constitution, are loyal to the flag and are proud of the country’s growing greatness. They silently acquiesce in tho fact that the issues of the war were decided against them. They re gard those issues as dead, and of no further importance in connection with the present. They do not seek to revive them in any shape, and they do not admit that they were in the wrong with regard to them. There are those who doubt that the South is sincere in her expressions of loyalty to the Union andof a desire for fraternal feeling because she does not acknowledge that the cause for which she fought was wrong, and they seem surprised when the attempt to force such an acknowledgment is resented. They refuse to be satisfied with the South’s acceptance of the situation in good faith and demand a confession of wrong doing. Tlmt they will never get. When the at tempts to convert the Southern people from the convictions for which they sacrificed so much cease—convictions which in no respect interefero with their devotion to the Union to-day—then there will lie no further excuse to doubt tho sincerity of the expressions of loyalty of the Southern people. A Mistaken Orator. About tho only one of the Fourth of July addresses nt Woodstock, Conn., which Ims attracted much attention is that of Mr. William Windom. whose subject was “The Saloon in Politics,” and it is probable that it would not have been accorded more than a passing notice if it were not for the part that prohibition is now playing in polities. Mr. Windom furnished some figures to show the extent of the liquor traffic, and the amount of money absorbed by it. As these figures appear to have been gathered from sources not wholly reliable, tho conclusions which he draws trout them cannot lie regarded us very valuable. It is his conclusion that “wo arc to all intents and purposes a rum-ruled nation” which challenges attention. He reaches this con clusion by assuming tlmt in most of the cities autl towns the drinking saloon is tho central power around which politics re volves, and that it dictates the candidates and the party policies. To illustrate more fully what he means ho says that the State of New York sometimes decides a national contest, that tho city of New York controls the State and that the saloon controls the city. There is no doubt that the saloon plays an important part in politics, but it is a mis take to assume the part is a controlling one. Tho men who shape tho destinies of the country and who dictate tho policies of parties and their candidates do not get their ideas, nor do they have thoir purposes shaped, in saloons. While it is true that the saloon exerts considerable influence in elei<- tions, it must notin' forgotten, as Mr. Win dom seems to have done.t hat the saloon power is not all on one side. One party is aided about ns much as the other hy it. In the city of New York, which he cites as an illustration to aid his argument, the influ ence of the Republican saloons Is perha|w about os great as that of the Democratic ones. If it is not it is only necessary to go to Philadelphia to find it greater. Taking the country over it is probable that, so far as politics is concerned, the Republican saloons about offset the Democratic ones. If this lie true Mr. Windom’s statement that this is a rum-ruled nation is without sub stantial support. No, the people rule in this country and they ai-e not influenced in their course by whisky. There are plenty of demagogues, ward bummers, henchmen, etc., who make the saloon their headquarters, and who de pend upon it for assistance in electing or de feating this or that candidate, but the sa loon does not control tho |iolitic* of the country. Tho story telegraphed from Washington that Secretary of War Endicott had ten dered his resignation proves to have been another unfounded Washington sensation. The Washington correspondents ap|x*ar to take very little trouble nowadays to And out whether rumors have any truth in them or uot. THE MORNING NEWS: THURSDAY, JULY 7, 1887. The Birmingham and Atlantic. The air line from Savannah to Birming ham, while one of tho longest, is unquestion ably one of the most important railroad enterprises that has ewer been projected in the South. Savannah, with twenty-seven feet of wat er on her bar, and a river channel that is to bo deepened to t vventy-eight feet, enjoys great natural advantages which have been considerably enlarged in recent years. She is tho largest shipper of naval stores in the world, the second of cotton, und the second of timber. The fruits and vegetables of Florida pass through her gates, and the great current of Northern travel into Florida flows through, her doors. But Savannah has too long been contented with her present environments. Her opu lent merchants, naturally in possession of an extensive and rich territory, have not pushed with their full power into distant fields and captured their productions. Birmingham, young, athletic, and full of energy, conscious of her own ability and lier superior mineral ad vantages, has, with her own inherent strength, placed herself foremost among the industrial cities of the South. Tho Birming ham and Atlantic air-line will give her the shortest ami most direct outlet to the Atlantic. Alabama’s coal, iron, marble, gold, lead, tin, talc, etc., will seek the ocean through Savannah and through her doors will pass the corn, wheat and meats of the great Northwest. This road will cheapen living in Savannah, for it will not only materially shorten the distance to Birming ham, but it will be a powerful competitor for western freights, thereby insuring a minimum instead of a maximum rate of charges. Cheap living, it is well known, is the greatest factor in a city’s prosperity. As surely as the straight line is the shortest distance between two given points, so surely will this railroad prosper. It is the shortest line that can bo built from Sa vaimah to the coal and iron’ fields of Ala bama mid to the granaries and meat bouses of the Northwest. What is needed now in its formative stage is the support its merits entitle it to from Savannah, Birmingham, Macon, La- Grange, and the other cities, towns and counties through which it is being built, and which it will serve to develop and prosper. An Opening for a Shoe Factory. In former years, before tho days of regu lar steamship lines and rapid transit by rail, there weqe in the South numerous tan neries and shoo factories. There are still a number of tanneries in tho South, one of which, located at Chattanooga, is said to be tho largest in tho Union. Tho product of its vats, however, is not manufactured into shoes at home, but is all sent to the New England States. Millions of dollars are sent from tho South every year to pay for shoes. If this money could be kept at home it would add largely to tiie prosperity of this section. A few years ago a small shoe factory was estab lished in New Orleans, and now there are about 100 employing from 20 to 200 men each. It requires but a small amount of capital to purchase the machinery for making shoes, and the shoes made at home meet with a ready sale for cash. Tho sue cess of a small factory in Putnam county, in this State, proves tho truth of tho latter assertion. This factory is situated seven miles from the county seat. It is worked to its full capacity, and its product is almost all bought by merchants of towns close by. There is an excellent opening in Savannah for such an enterprise, as there is an abundance of just the kind of lalior, boys and women, that can lie utilized in a shoo factory, and there is also a large city and country trade to be supplied. Is there no enterprising shoe maker or shoe dealer who will take the in itiative step in establishing such ft factory.' Thirty years ago Savannah had a large shoe factory', and the time is now propitious for another and more successful one. Johann Most and his Anarchist followers in New York celebrated the Fourth of July according to their own peculiar notions. They had a p italic in one of the parks. Most mounted a barrel and delivered a characteristic address? Among other things, he said that tho flag of the United States was the standard of liberty in years gone by, but now it was the flag of the upper 10,000 only. It was no longer the emblem of Republicanism, and t herefore the work ingmen bud good grounds to choose a flag of their own, and that should he the red tlug. He concluded by saying: “To-day we will be happy; let us drink, sing und dunce to-day. To-morrow lot us progress in our preparations for the great social revolu tion.” Most doubtless did not remember that nowhere except under the flag of the United States would ho and his followers lie permitted to escape punishment for their seditious utterances and misdeeds. He ought to be sent back to spend the re mainder of bis life under tho flag of hfs native country. He would then better un derstand the blessings of freedom. Just now it appears to bo the fashion to attack the West Point Military Academy and to abuse the officers who graduated at that institution. Gen. James S. Robinson, Secretary of State of Ohio, a loading Re publican and Senator Sherman’s right hand man, says: “Nearly every great movement for the protection of the Union at the outset of the war was perfected in opposition to tho West Point clique. Tho Ordnance De partmont was so backward that orders hml to Ik? given over the heads of its chiefs. They rejected the Spencer rifles, and refused to manufacture them until higher authority compelled them toadoptthem. I had charge nt one time of sixty miles in front of Wash ington, and knew that tho general officers in the regular army were constantly aiding their Southern friends to go through the lines.” The General ought to ask Congress to uliolish the Academy. He will admit, how ever, that West Point graduates did some little lighting on both sides during the war. Senator Blair, of New Hampshire, is getting ready to introduce his educational hill as soon as Congress meets. The bill Was first introduced six years ago, and provided for a distribution of $105,000,000 in ton years. Three years afterwards the Senate reduced the amount to $77,000,000, to be distributed in eight years, and passed it. The following year it added 000,000 with which to build school houses. Neither the Blair bill nor the Willis bill, which was a substitute for it, ever passed the House. Senator Blair can bo depended upon to push the bill as long as he remains in the Senate, hut it is by no moans certain that he will succeed in getting it passed. It is predicted that the heavy rains will make watermelons larger this year than they ever w ere liefore. Tho consumer will not object, provided the price is uot in creased. CURRENT COMMENT. As Good as an Exchange of Battleflasrs. BYom the Sew York World (Dein.) Gov. Fitzhugh Lee. of Virginia, made a de cided impression at Tammany Ifall yesterday. It was his first public appearance in New York since he rode in the procession to Gen. Grant's tomb. Gov. Lee is a judicious man and a rising man. It is as good as an exchange of b.ittle flags to have him come North occasionally. Others Would be Safer Candidates. From the Philadelphia Record (Dan). Whilst Mr. Sherman is destroying himself by injudicious speech Mr. Blaine is r constructing hirnv. If by profound and painful silence. But If Mr. Sherman should get very sick, and Mr. Blaine get very well, there would still bo hun dreds of men in the Republican party who would make safer candidates for the Presi dency. On Gettysburg Field. From the New York Herald (Ind.'s What happened there may be regarded as the seal upon a compact reconciliation. We know' how true was the amity, how absolute the ef facenieut of bitterness !xt ween the North and South before, but nothing could so affirm this cordial relation as the clasped hands and friendly ♦•yes that met each other yesterday on the spot where Pickett charged, and where the Stars and Stripes still llew as they flew twenty-four years ago. As Unnecessary as They Are Cruel. From the Washington Post (Dem .) Importations of Iron, steel sugar, glass, doe and spelter were much larger lost month than in June of last year. Tiie duties collected thereon go into a treasury which cannot get rid of the money it now has, and their imposition enables home producers to add the* amount of the duty to their selling price, the consumer paying all the taxes, as well those added by home producers as those imposed upon foreigu importers. These burdens are as unnecessary as they are cruel. BRIGHT BITS.

A faith cure which is attracting considerable attention in the Fifth ward, Allegheny, is that of Mr. Thomas Bedow, who resides on Beaver .avenue. Some three years ago Mr. Bedow began to lose the proper use of his lower limbs, and, a physician being called, the ailment was pronounced paralysis. From that time for ward every remedy was tried to effect a cure, but in vain, and last year the attend ing physician. Dr. Stewart, pronounced Mr. Bedow incurable. Mr. Bedow then went away from home to consult with other physi cians, and to try advised summer resorts as a hist hope. He returned to the city in the fall, no better in condition. The paralysis increased and two weeks ago Mr. Bedow could only move about in a painful fashion by grasping hold of the backs of eiiairs. A few days before his cure he again consulted Dr. Stewart, who told him that all that could lie done had been done, that Mr. Bedow was incurable, and not only that, but thatt he increasing paralysis would produce death in the course of two, or at the outside, three years. Mr. Bedow felt much discouraged, and on the eve of the cure felt that it were useless to even try to move about any more, and that on the morrow he would resign himself to the inevita 14e, and attempt to stand upon the poor, para lyzed limbs no longer. But on retiring that night the thought came to him, “God can cure me.” He had just read of the Faith Cure Con vmitiou at Christ church, and he bowed his head and prayed for a long time. The next day, in stead of giving up, as he had intended, he sev eral times made his way across his room by 'clinging to the chairs and furniture, and, as he imagined, with less pain and difficulty than for several weeks past. He felt encour aged, and that night he prayed with all the earnestness and faith of which he was capable. He afterward slept soundly until morning, a thing he had not done for over a year. He sprang from bed. danced about the floor, jump ed into his clothing and ran down stairs, shout ing for joy. Before stopping his antics he ran about the yard several times to test his new found strength. Since then there has not been the faintest sign of a relapse. Mr. Bedow, who is a locksmith, went right to work, and is now the happiest man in Alleghe ny. Several people have called on Dr. Stewart, but the only answer he gives is: “I pronounced the man incurable; I know he was incurable, but now he is well. That is all there is to it.” BLUE EYES AND SOFT VOICE. Phoebe Couzins Captivated During- an Interview With the President. From the St. Louis Globe-Democrat. A reporter called on Miss Phoebe Couzins yes terday, at the United States Marshal's office, and questioned her in regard to her interview with President Cleveland while in Washington a few days ago. “Yes,” said she, “I saw President Cleveland immediately after his return from the Adiron dacks. He looked a little sun burned, but I didn't notice any fly bites or other indications that he had been having a hard time in the woods.” “What did the President say about coming to St. Louts ?” “He said that he certainly intended to come. In his own words he ‘could not refuse so mag nificent an invitation as had been extended him by the people of St. Louis.’ He remarked that •he would be very much pressed by business at the t ime, but he intended to make the visit any how. " “Then you are sure the President will come?" “I am sure of it unless something happens to prevent. He told me so. and Ido not think I am violating any confidence in repeating what he said." “Will Mrs. Cleveland come also?” “I think so, but am not sure. Idid not see her, as she had gone to Oswego to visit some school friends. I remarked to the President that I thought the ladies of St. Louis should have been represented on the committee which invited him to visit the city, so as to make sure of Mrs. Cleveland accompanying him. Ho replied that she would probably come with him anyhow. In reference to the unpleasant things which have l>een said about his visit to St. Louis, he said that he would pay no attention to them.” Speaking of President Cleveland's manners Miss Couzins said: “I like to talk with him; he is so unassmning that one feels perfectly at ease in his presence. He has all the polish of President Arthur, and is genial and pleasing In his conversation. He has a tine blue eye, which has such a kindly ex pression when he looks at you: but what I ad mire most, is his soft, well-modulated voice." Hi re the conversation turned on other topics, and In referring to herself Miss Conzlns salu: “I am tired of political life, and long to go bade to my literary work. There is no humanity in polities, and there never will be until women have an equal say with the men. The more I see of law and politics the more 1 am convinced that woman’s presence is needed In both.” A Plain Understanding. .From the Detroit Free Press. Close by a railroad junction in Alabama, where we bad to wait sometimo for the other train, was a general store, and several of us Went over to se how business was done. Tire ■proprietor was a little old man with a benevo lent face, and his clerk was his son, who was a hawk-eyed, sharp-nosed young man with no be nevolPnce about him. Tha customers were prin cipally negroes, aud there was a great run on ■ some new tin coffee pots just unpacked. The one hung up for a sample was marked Zoo. on the bottom. Every time a darkey asked the old man for a coffee pot he was referred to "Wil liam,” and every time William was asked for calico lie referred the customer to father. We saw this go on until our curiosity was aroused, and the Colonel finally asked the old man for an explanation. "Stranger?” queried the old man in reply. “Yes.” “Don't live about here?" “Oh, no: just waiting for the train." “Well, then it’s just this way: William has the conscience to ask 40e. for a 25c. coffee pot, aud as he's a leetle set in his ways I let him tend to that line.” "But about the calico?” “Well, try as hard as I may, I can't ask over 18c. for 10c. calico, and as William knows how rigid my principles are he never interferes with my side of the store.” My Little Girl’s Bright Eyes. Yes. I have gems that do outshine Your diamond. Does the truth surprise? Then place your bauble here above My little girl’s bright eyes. Ah, better than the shining stones.

My trembling heart sees hope arise! Lore's in the lode star of my life, My little girl s bright eyes. What care I tho’ I never win Glory or gold from time that files? 1 am content, if fate but leave My little girl's bright eyes. M. N. B. Logic. From the Boston Transcript. Little Nellie, 5 years old, went to walk on Sun day afternoon with her poreuts. The party strolled along the bank of the reservoir, con cerning tho use of which Nellie usked many questions. While they were there they wit noMed an exciting episode a small boy’s straw liat was blown off his head into the reservoir nltd fished out with no little difficulty with tho aid of a long pole. That evening at supper, os Nellie was drink ing water from a glass, she asked: "Is this water the same as tho water up in the reservoir?” "Yes, dear." Nellie smacked her lips In an experimental wav, and with a slight expression of displeasure. “Well," she said, “I think it tastes some of a straw hat!” Tho Irishman Was Ahead. From the London Truth. At a certain debating society an English doc tor recently argued that the Irish were natur ally a depraved and dishonest race, and in sup port of his position he adduced his own experi ence. He remarked that he had at Manchester 800 Irish patients on his hooks, and out of this number only thirty paid him his fees. An Irishman rose when the doctor sat down, and said: “Sor, there is never an effect without a cause; there is never a phenomenon which dot>*not admit of an explanation. How. sor,can we explain the extraordinary phenomenon to which the doctor hna called our attention? He finds an explanation in the natural depravity of the Irish nature I, sor, huve another explana tion to offer, and it is this: "That the thirty patients who paid him were the oniv ones that recovered.” ITEMS OF INTEREST.

As he sits in a saloon with free beer before him he feels that “us bricklayers must have our rights.” States adjacent now fear that the newly en acted law in Connecticut imposing a twenty-five year term of imprisonment on criminals con victed for a third time—no matter for what offense—will flood them with the offenders, and are anxious that some means be provided to stave off the rush.

If the concentric rings in trees are a correct index of their age, that mysterious structure near Manchester, Coffee county, Tonn., called the Old Stone Fort, is of a very ancient origin. The trees growing on the rude stone walls that (surround the old structure show, by their rings, fully 500 years growth. These trees, now being •cut away, are the only witnesses to the age of the stone work.

Herrmann, lately deceased, once performed before the Sultan Abdul Aziz, says the London Times, and threw a valuable watch of his ma jesty’s into the Bosphorus. There was a great outcry, which the conjuror checked by conjur ing up the watch again into the Sultan's pocket. For this he received a present of 500 Turkish pounds. It seems, however, that he really did throw the Sultan's watch into the water, and that the one which he conjured back was a replica duplicate, obtained before hand from the maker of the original timepiece. A SSOO clock which * pipes thirty-six Italian, French, German and American tunes with wooden flutes, besides telling the hours and minutes in silvery chimes, has been placed in the vestibule near the dining room at the Executive Mansion at Albany, N.
