Thomas Fortune, who won some fame as editor of the New York Freeman, isnow a reporter on the New York Evening Sun, and perhaps the only man of his color em ployed in that capacity on a leading jour nal. The excitement, attending his visit to Macon, instead of weakening Mr. Davis' health, seems to have improved it. He is safe at his home at Beauvoir again, and expresses gratitude to the people of Georgia for their warm reception. The motto carried in the labor procession in Washington the other day, “Ballots, not Bombs, are Our Weapons,” shows that Washington workingmen have the true American idea. There can be no objection to labor agitation founded on that principle. An Ohio Democratic paper charges that Gov. Foraker's administration has in a year involved the State in nearly $1,000,000 of debt and bankrupted the Treasury. If this be true, it is no wonder he chose to fight a bloody shirt campaign. Success was im possible on any other issue. Capt. Black, counsel of the Anarchists, sinks the lawyer in the partisan. When he says the men whom he defeuded will be “murdered by the law" he shows himself unfit to practice in any court. In his devo tion to the interests of his clients he seems to have himself become an Anarchist. It seems difficult to get a receiver for the Covington and Macon railroad. Consider ing the fat fees usually allowed by the courts for managing a bankrupt railroad, this is somewhat remarkable. Perhaps the failure is more than ordinarily complete, and the assets small. Booth and Barrett propose that their ku i ness association shall continue until it is dissolved by death. They hope to obtain a theatre in New York, and should they do so it will undoubtedly become the home of the drama in its highest form in America. The whole country is interested in their suc cess. The preparations by an American com pany to expend many thousand dollar- a; once iu a thorough survey of the Nicaragua canal route shows th# certainty American capitalists feel of the ultimate failure oi De Lesseps’ Panama scheme. When the failure does come, it will be the greatest the world has known, and may involve great calami ties to France. The Republican newspajs-rs in Ohio seem to be nearly frantic because, as they allege, Federal officeholders have been assessed t< i pay the expenses of the Democratic cam paign. Probably no such assessment has been made, but, even if it has, Republi cans have no cause to complain. It was a regular business with them when they were in power, and they did not then think the employes were “robbed’' nor that the money raised was a “corruption fund.” The Republicans have employed John Jarrett, who used to be president of the Amalgamated Association of Iron Workers, to go around among workingmen and preach to them the beauties of protec tion. Something must be done to coun teract the effect produced by the knowledge that the families of 110,000 “protected” miners are now scantily supported by the charity of other workers, because the pro tected coal barons will not pay living wages. The Cleveland leader publishes a story to the effect that the scar so conspicuous on Gov. Gordon’s face was not received in battle, but at the hands of a desperate ne gro “whom he was lashing.” This is only one of numerous lies printed by that paper. It comes with little grace from a man who fled to Europe in 18<i3 to n void being drafted into the army, as the editor of the Leader is said to have done. A coward himself, he is jealous of another man’s reputation for courage. England proposes to pay $300,000 to an Arab chief to expel the Mahdi’s followers, also Arabs, from Dongola, which they have held since soon after Gordon’s death at Khartoum. In this little transaction England shows the shrewd diplomacy for which she is famous. If she recovers Dongola for the money spent it will have been done much more cheaply than if her own soldiers were employed, and if it isn’t—well, there will perhaps be $300,000 worth of dead Arabs. The newsjtapers of New York have suc ceeded in blackening the character of almost every candidate for office in the extraordi nary’ contest which is going on in that city and State. It ends to-morrow, and the re sults of the balloting will be awaited with much more interest than usually attaches to an election for officers of minor important*. Though the New York papers have lately devoted almost all their spat* to the local contest, the general attention is centered on the success or failure of Henry George's Socialistic propaganda. Sectional Issues. In a recent article on Gov. Gordon's visit | to Ohio, the Morning News took occasion j to contrast the position of the leaden, in ! Southern polities with that of Gov. Foraker and others, who are endeavoring to gain j office on sectional issues which were settled I years ago, expressing the belief that the I former were playing the more patriotic • part. The Cincinnati Timur-Star takes ex * eeption to this. It points to the demonstra ! tion at Macon and what it calls the glorifl i cation of Mr. Davis as proof that the ! antagonisms of the war are kept alive by ' the Southern people, who are not loyal to the I Union and yet hope for thp triumph of the cause for which they fought. In conclusion, the Morning News isadvisodto take off its partisan spectacles and look at the subject fairly. It is not the Morning News which needs to take off its spectacles. It knows that the people among whom it is published and which it represents are as loyal to the gen eral government as any other, and that they resent as impertinent the suspicion which attends their every movement. They are a part of the Union, their future depends upon its prosperity and permanence, they bear an equal share of its burdens, they stand upon an equal footing with others as to rights in it, and if the necessity should arise they would defend it with their blood and treasure as promptly as the people who are always belying them for partisan pur poses. There is something else to which they are true, without disparagement to their loyalty to the Union—the memory of the men who died fighting their battles. The political cause for which those sold ers fought is lost, and by a vast majority is not regret ted, but the recollection of their gallant deeds and suffering is the holiest thing in the Southern man’s heart, and he would indeed lie a traitor should he fail on every proper occasion to do them honor. They made the history of the South —all that part of it which is bravest and (vest—and pride in tbeir valor is in no way incompat ible with an honest acceptance of the results of final defeat. Demonstrations of love and respect for their memory are in no sense political; they are purely sentimental, but if the Southern people must choose between showing honor to their soldiers and the political advantage which might be gained by appearing to forget them, they cannot hesitate The political advantage must be sacrificed. They cannot help feeling, however, that they are wronged when such a choice is forced upon them. In view of these facts, the demonstration in honor of Mr. Davis at Macon was inno cent enough, so far as disloyalty to the Un ion was concerned. None of the men who went to meet him, and whose hearts throbbed faster at the sight of the feeble old man, looked on him as the representa tion of disunion. That is forgotten. They saw in him only the commander of the Southern armies, whose history is their greatest pride. The cause of complaint of the Southern people against Gov. Foraker and politician of his kind, is that they persistently ascribe to a feeling of hostility to the Union actions which do not spring from that feeling. Lacking in Backbone. The authorities of New York would have saved themselves a good deal of trouble and expense if they had taken the steps with re gard to immigrants from cholera-infected places which they now propose to take. The President of the Board of Health of that city has written a letter to the Mayor asking if the Federal government can in any way prevent immigrants from localities where cholera exists from coming to this country, and suggesting that if it has such authority that it exercise it at once. A representative of the Quarantine Commissioners is also in Washington to < order with the Secretary of the Treasury and the Italian Minister with regard to the same matter. There is no doubt that cholera infected immigrants can be prevented from landing at any port in the Uuited States, and if the teamship companies engaged in transport ing ob jectionable immigrants are informed that that power will be exercised, no more immigrants from cholera districts will be brought to this country. If measures had been taken months ago to close our ports against immigrants likely to introduce cholera into the country New York would not now be burdened with a thousand or more immigrants in her harbor who are regarded as dangerous. The hospitals on Hoffman and Swinburne Islands, in New’ York harbor, are not capa ble of accommodating the immigrants \. ho already occupy them, and part of them have been transferred to a hospital ship. Not withstanding this condition of affairs, how - ever, other cholera-infected immigrants may be expected to arrive at any tmu . The steamer Burgundia, with immigrants from Naples, is now due. For some reason or other neither the New York nor the Washington authorities appear to have the ne essary backbone to deal with this ques tion concerning cholera-infected immi grants. Arbor Day. Every year the necessity for taking steps to renew the forests destroyed in the headlong haste of settlement and to meet the demands of commerce for lumber be comes more apparent. One means of keef - ing the subject in the recollection of the people has been the appointment of an Ar bor day’by several of the States. Arbor day in Georgia is Nov. 22, and the im portance of the purpose for which it was appointed should cause its getieral observ ance. The more common evil results of a too liberal cutting of trees have been often dis cussed and'are well known. The swollen rivers, often causing great destruction of property, every spring remind the people of upper and middle Georgia of their own and their fathers’ folly. The forests burned in “newgrouud” log heaps, to clear the land for a few years of careless cultivation, can only be renewed by the care and patience of many yea re. Mr. Jefferson Davis has recently written a letter on this subject, brought out by’ the proceedings of the recent forestry congress, held at Huntsville, Ala. He draws from his great stores of information many facts to show the desirability, if not necessity, of the work in which the forestry association is engaged. Among other things, he shows that .Spain, now the most, arid country in Europe, was at the time of the Roman con quest well wooded and well watered, with large streams where are now mere rivulets. This country may have the same ex perience. Foraker boasts that he was in thirteen battles during the war. He was not hit by a single bullet, however. It may be there are safe places even on a battlefield, and that the mau who brags'now dodged then. THE VORNING NEWS: MONDAY, NOVEMBER 7, 1887. Knights of Labor in Politics. The Knights of Labor, as an association or as individuals, have as much right to dabble iu politics as other citizens. Nobody would think of denying that they have. In ninny eases their influence no doubt has a healtuv effect. There were some developments at the recent convention at Minneapolis, how ever, which show that the leaders have adopted methods in politics which are open to objection. It was stated that pending the Congressional elections last year lending members of the order were sent, into the dis tricts of Messrs. Carlisle, Morrison and Reed to put all the machinery of the order in motion to defeat them. They had a perfect right to do . this, but many people will question the propriety of sending their emissaries under false names and under false pretenses. This was what was done. Brother T. B. Maguire was sent to St. Louis nominally to settle some brew ery troubles, but he soon made his apjs-ar ance across the river in Morrison's district, not as Knight of Labor Maguire, but as plain Tom Brown, with no particular busi ness of any sort. He visited every local as sembly in the district, and, under the secrecy of an oath-bound organization, put the members on notice of what was expect ed of them by the heads of the order. The result was that one of the most useful mem bers of Congress and a real friend of work ingmen wasdef ated for re-election. In Carlisle’s district different tactics were adopted. No open fight was made, but by the same secret means word was passed around to members of the order to vote for Thoebe. It was au effort, not to get the sense of the voters of the district, but to take advantage of their ignorance of any serious opposition to Carlisle to foist upon them as their Representative a man of whom perhaps not a fourth had ever even heard the name. As has already been said, nobody will question the right of the Knights to exert all the power in politics which they can, but the methods described are un-American, opposed to our ideas of fair dealing, and will eventually weaken the Knights. Their strength lies in the belief that their order represents a popular movement to amelior ate the condition of workingmen. If in po litical campaigns their agents sneak about among electors under false names to deliver to oath-bound members of a secret society the orders of their chiefs, and those orders are obeyed, popular sympathy will desert them. The spectacle of the governing body of a secret society wielding the power of 500,000 votes will not be agreeable to the average American citizen, no matter what his politics. The members of the society, too, are American citizens, and their native independence will assert it self. It is to be hoped that the success which attended the tactics which are criticised will not encourage the leaders of the Knights of Labor to persevere in their use. Such iierseverance would threaten danger to good government and disaster to their order. The Steel Ring. The syndicate which controls the right to use the Bessemer process in making steel is a great handicapping weight on the metal industry in this country, and especially in the South. One of the charges against it, which has never been denied, is that it also controls the right to use the Tbomas-Gil christ, or basic process. The latter process is the only one yet invented in which it is po-sible to produce good steel cheaply from ores which contain a high percentage of phosphorus. The purpose of the syndicate in gaining control ot the basic process was not to use it, but to prevent its use. Most of the iron ores o£ the country are, perhaps, phosphoritic, and there fore unsuited to the Bessemer process. Practically all the iron ores of Georgia, Alabama and Tennessee are of that class, and the result will be that as long as the syndicate maintains its present control they will be used only in the production of iron in its coarsest forms. It is said that in all of the United States there is only one steel works which uses the basic process, so jeal ous lias been the syndicate of its monopoly. The legal right of the Bessemer syndicate to buy the patents to the basic process in order to prevent its use was perhaps per fect. but its exercise works a great hardship to tiie people. As the New York Keening Post happily expresses it, it is as if a tele graph company should acquire and hold unused all improvements of the telephone because more con venient and agreeable telephonic communi cation would unfavorably affect the busi ness of telegraphing. The members of this syndicate ar e paid millions every year as a bonus to enable them to compete with the foreign makers of steel, yet they not only combine to prevent competition among themselves, but use their great power to suppress an improvement that would diffuse the steel-making industry to all parts of the mineral bearing region and perhaps render competition with foreigners possible without taxing the people to pay a bounty. One fact in connection with this matter is of special interest to farmers. While the slag from a Bessemer furnace is positively worthless, that from a Thomas-Gilchrist furnace is a valuable by-product. Pul verized, it is a fertilizer of quite a high grade, especially valuable on worn lands, on account of the phosphorus which it contains. Recent experiments in Germany show that, it contains 10 per is lit. of phos phoric acid, "iO per cent, of limn, 12 ]>er cent, of iron and 7 per cent, ot silicic acid. It was shown to operate better than Peru vian guano, or bone dust. This product would go far to reduce the cost of both steel and fertilizers. The Chicago Tribune prints a long editorial review of the reasons why to hang the condemned Anarchists will not make martyrs of them, as the same process did of John Brown, anil makes out its case fairly well. It could have reached the same conclusion, however, and saved much space by merely saying that, though Brown was a man of worse character than either of the Anarchists and his crime no loss detestable, he represented an idea and pur pose which appealed to the sympathy of a vast number of people, while the Anarchists only represent the ref use washed out of the sewers of European civilization, which has settled down in the lowest spot in this country. It cannot be made too plain that they are executed for murder, and nothing else. At Republican paper suggests that the op position members of the House can “coddle”, the labor element by supporting Thoebe m his contest for Carlisle’s seat. Unless we very much mistake the workingmen of this country, they want no representative of their interests put into office by manifest fraud and trickery, and will resent an at tempt to buy them iu that way. CURRENT COMMENT. Will Need a Very Large Jail. Fr om the Memphis Avalanche (Dem.) If Great Britain means to jail every man who occupies the same relation to the government that William O'Brien does, the walls of the pri son must lie extended a good deal beyond the Irish coast line up Much Like Other Human Nature. From the Missouri Republican (Dem.) Mr. Samuel J. Randall seems to lie taking a good deal of interest ,n Thoelie's serio-comic contest against Mr. Carlisle. The Democratic party and Mr. Carlisle can afford this kind of thing, but it is doubtful if Mr. Randall can. Political human nature is a good deal like other human nature, and Mr. Carlisle will appoint the House committees of the Fiftieth Congress. BRIGHT BITS.

Superintendent Wallin Sr's Story Con tradicted. A statement is published in New York that the police officials laugh at the sensational ac count of the return by the grave robbers of the body of Alexander T. Stewart, and its midnight delivery to the custodians of the crypt at Gar den City, os narrated in the book published by ex-Superintendent of Police Walling. The state ment is made that: ‘ It is a notorious fact that Mr. Walling, when superintendent, was purposely kept in the dark concerning the movements of the detectives during the long and fruitless search for the missing body. Inspector Murray, in whose dis trict the robbers operated, had charge of the case, and he enjoyed the fullest confidence of ex Judge Hilton. Toward the close of the search Inspector Byrnes aided in the attempt to unravel the mystery, and after following many false clews, directed all the energies of the de tective bureau in aiding Mr. Murray and his trusted assist ant, Capt. Meakin, in tracking Mike Kelly, the lmcknion, who carried the body in his hack from the graveyard to New Jersey. Kelly was tracts! to Pennsylvania, thence to Wash ington. thence to San Francisco. There it was learned that Kelly had gone to Tucson, Ari., where he was killad by a miner, with whom bo had a quarrel oyer a game of poker. Gideon J. Tucker, the United Laborfcamlidate for Surro gate, was editing a newspaper in Tucson at the time, and sent to Superintendent Murray a cir cumstantial account of Kelly's tragic end. Thf* only part which ex-Buperintendent Walling played in the Stewart affair was to see ex- Post master Patrick H. Jones, and receive from him a piece of velvet cut from the casket, the cheap linen shirt studs, and two of the screws which had been forwarded to Mr. Jones by a man calling hitnself “Romaine." Jones, as an attorney, saw Mr. Walling because Murray was absent from his office Walling put detectives upon the track of Jones. This fact was report ed to Romaine and negotiat ions were broken off at once. “Ex-Superintendent Wailing must have been dreaming," is the comment at police headquarters, “for Mr. Stewart’s body long ago was consign*! to a grave filled with quicklime on Canadian soil." How the Condemned Anarchists Look, Chicago tetter to Quincy , (III.) Whig. Here, in arm's reach, is the scaffold corner from whence but lately the souls of three Ital ians together, went out into the hereafter; just down below us, coming ai a four-mile gait are Fielden, Spies aud Schwab abreast, filling to the utmost the hour of exercise alotted them. A glace at Schwab, pale, spectacled, black-bearded, tall, slim, spider-legged, shows you "Carl Schurz, by Nast." Spies, well built, medium height, light complexioned. good looking, manly in his bearing, with his head upraised as though proud of his young past, has a German cast of features, yet far less handsome than many of his countrymen in Quincy. Fielden is a solid built heavily bearded German, evidently always ready for anything the coming hour may bring, be it victory or defeat. They suddenly disappear beyond the double tier of cells- we follow, Onihe inside of the heavy iron cage, it self covered with a closely woven wire net ting, sits Engel, looking like an honest, well-to do, middle-aged mechanic, who would find no time for anything but his daily work and the so ciety of the pale, little, all motherly-looking wife, who sat with her cheek pressed to the op posite side of the cruel iron: a few feet further on sat Parsons, the crankiest, most defiant look ing of them all, and as we notice the large dowdyish negress. his wife, who seemingly en joys her surroundings, the unpleasant impres sion Parsons has made increases There, at the corner, standing as none of the others do, is a tall, daintily formed girl, with a face so sweet, aud pure and expressive, so devoid of sensuality and sensation alism, our fist closes and our muscles harden as comes the desire to knock down the good looking German who has “voudooed" Nina Van Zandt One can but feel deepest indigna tion, while thus surrounded, toward the parents who would allow such a daughter, with such re lationships and prospects, to tie thus sacrificed, and our lips whispered a hope that they and Spies may yet have to pay in some manner for the injury done this girl. Paganini’s Famous Violin. From the Baltimore Sun. Prof. M. H. Grist, the violin teacher at the Maryland Institute for the Blind, contributes the following interesting item to the Sun: "The Cremona violins are the delight of connoisseurs. Tuese remarkable instruments were made by the Amatis, Stradivariuses and Guameriuses, who resided in Cremona, Italy, between 15300 and 1736. Besides these most famous makers there were others very highly esteemed, sueh as Gas pard di Solo. Maginiand Bergonzi. Montaguani excelled them all by his rich varnish and also made some very fine violoncellos. About the year 1820 Nicolo Paganini, the first great vir tuoso of the violin, commenced his collection of the famous instruments, to which reference is made in this notice, and the discovery of one of his violins in Baltimore gives fresh interest to the subject. During his tour in France and England this wondrous player succeeded in ob taining seven of the finest violins to be got for money. They consisted of one by Amati, two by Stradivarius, one by Magini and three by Guar uerius. The greatest favorite of these seven instruments was the splendid specimen known as ‘Guarnerius del Jesu,’ dated 1743, and is now deposited in the museum at Genoa. The other six instruments were presented to the finest artists of Europe in 1840, viz: De Beriot. May seder. Sphor, Molique. David ami Ernst. The writer has endeavored to ascertain the where abouts of these instruments, but has succeeded in placing onlv two of them. The ‘Amati,’ given to De. Beriot, was sold in Paris about twenty years ago to Dr. Frick, of Baltimore, at whose death the violin and other musical in struments were presented to the Maryland In stitute for the Blind. Mr. Albert, of Philadel phia, has lately repaired the ‘Amati.' and de clares that two or three months’ practice on it will develop its original grand tone." Toddy from a Plant From the Baltimore American. Rain interfered with the exhibition of plants yesterday in the Biddle street rink. The display is very fine. Among the striking things that meet the visitor's eye near the entrance is the "toddy” plant, an eastern production about s feet high, from the const*vatory of Mr. T. Har rison Garrett. It has grown too large for Mr. Garrett'B house and he has presented it to the National Botanic Garden at Washington. A pe culiarity of the plant Is that during the sup season,"about two months in the year, a quart of excellent toddy, with all the and dicioim intoxi cating effects of the American y fixed drink, can !h* drawn twice a day and enjoyed. When this was know n many inquiries were made as to whether the plant would grow in this latitude with ordinary care An exjjert said it required a warm climate, about the temperature of India, for the tree to thrive. Several gentlemen were sure sure money could la* saved by grow ing the plant at home. It is believed if will l>e at tempted by several who looked at the plant. Gaining* or Losing a Day. From Chambers' Journal. In sailing round the world eastward the days are each a little less than twenty-four hours, ac cording to the speed of the ship, as the sun is met with every morning n little earlier. These little differences added together will amount in the course of the circumnavigation to twenty four hours, giving the sudors an extra day, not in imagination, but in sober truth, as they will have actually oaten an extra da;, s food and consumed an extra day's grog. On the other hand, in ailing westward, the Him is overtaken a little each day, and so each day is rather longer than twenty-four hours, and clocks and watches are round to be too fast This also will amount, in sailing round to the starting point again, to one whole day, bv which the reckoning has fallen iti arrears. The eastern ship, then, has gained a day and the western ship lias lost one, leading to tins apparent paradox, that the former ship has a clear gain of two wfcoie days over the latter, supposing them to have started and returned together.

At the Comstock silver mines in Virginia City mining science has reached its highest point, according to a San Francisco newspaper, which says that they carry water down a vertical shaft to the depth of 1,700 feet, and then gear it back to the surface, running the gigantic mills by the 1,700-foofc pressure. When the plan was sug gested to engineers of Europe they laughed at it; but now it's a proved success, and furnishes a power immeasurably greater and cheaper than anything hitherto applied in mining.

The motor people are willing to put tip the plants and guarantee that the cost of running, as compared with horse-power, will be only one-half.
