THE WEEKLY BANNER-WAtcHMAN, JUNE 26, 1888. The political atmosphere in Chicago yesterday was exceedingly oppressive.

A child born under the planet Saturn was supposed to have a in of sympathy being ex- saturnine—-or evil—disposition; one Mr. Thurman by his po- "who saw the light while Jupiter was having his day, a jovial,—or jolly— turn of mind; one who camo into this world under the eye of Mars, a mar- tail temperament; one upon whom .Mercury beamed, a mercurial—or fan tastic—bent. One really fails to see where even so great a sensationalist as Mr. Tal mage cun detect blasphemy in the expression “My Stars.” It is only ci)uivalent to saying “what an unlucky mortal 1 am,” or “what a lucky mortla 1 am,” as the case may he. Consist ency demands that a moral purist who objects to the expression in question should equally object to the names of the days ill the week, and dub them by some term—such as the Quaker “First Day,” “Second Day” &c—not derived from classical myths. In “Dear Me,” however, lies some thing akin to the objectionable. A Sunday school teacher would be shocked if he heard one shout “My tied,” yet h smiles when one ejacu lates "Dear Me.” And what is the difference between the expressions? None whatever! “Dear me” is only an anglicised corruption of the Italian "■Dio Mio”—My God !—1111 oath too common among the Latin races of the more remote South. Truly this is an age in which we bolt camels with the greatest of com placciiey and ease, yet strain ourselves to death in attempts to swallow insig nificant gnats. Before condemning things, all of us—Mr. Talmage into tin- bargain—should closely inquire into their real nature. But at the same time we should remember that then- is too much glass about the moral, social and verbal houses of evsn the best of us to admit of much stone throwing.

The suffering mon arch had too milch artificiality about it to make red IMood. Insurance of infants, as well as the deathbed insurance s» common a few year* ago, is speculation upon human life, and should In- vigorously sup pressed by law. To insure babies in their cradles is to tempt domestic Hcrods to slaughter the innocents. It is a disgrace that such a practice should he permitted. The death of Frederick till- Peace ful lias caused a scare in France. The political tension between the two countries may now he expected to be come more and more strained as tin- days mil by, until Alsace and Lorraine he recovered by France, or the new l!epuhlio shall have lost another vviiijf. W ho can say which it will he? It is pretty generally believed that Henry M. Stanley has come to grief in Central Africa, having died at the hands of treacherous natives. Stan ley was engaged in a good work, and if he he indeed dead, his loss is a dis aster to civilization. WHO? Come let us reason together. About what? The outcome of the hi* Radical pow-wovv in Chicago, to-da.', anil for the next few days. IIovv will it result? Candidly, we can’t say, lor do we much care, since Cleveland tnd Thur man will eclipse the entire political horizon in November. Will Gresham he the nominee? Yes—if the party to which he belongs is anxious to put up their cleanest- handed, most suitable man. IIovv about Sherman? “Honest John’’ is an incubus upon his party. As Puck’s cartoon of last week de picted, liis liooni grows smaller by degrees and beautifully less. To nominate Sherman would lie instant death to tho Republican party. The Republican party knows this. Sher man will therefore be left out in the cold. How aliout Russell Alger, of Michi gan? He has a ba'rl. and Mrs. Logan is working for him. That’s all. But the axiom :—“Ce qtie femme veut, Dieu veut,’ will in this instance be proved fallible for the nonce. And Allison? He’s dangerous. His name carries weight in the Radi cal camps out West. But the Radical camps out West are only a drop in our political bucket! Depevv? Oh, hush ! H Vs only a clown—an engineer of the V.'-nderbilt- Gould system. Joe Hawley, of Connecticut; what of him? He’s an honest man, though deluded in political sentiment. He stands a good chance for the second place on the ticket, provided a West ern man gets the first place. Has Blaine really wi Jidrawn? Blaine is a politician, and a shrewed one at that ! There may be a dead lock in the Convention. If so, Blaine, it is believed, lias a key that can open it. But will Blaine open the lock? No one can predict. lie may b t sprung upon the convention by acclamation. Still tho probabilities are tliat Blaine, if not Gresham, will be the little fice snapping around the heels of the majestic Cleveland as he enters tlte White House to dv J1 there another term. Charles 1 lichens ventures the opin ion that Cleveland is the best Presi dent we have had since Lincoln, and that he will l»e reelected. This, of course, is only an individual opinion; hut it shows how an honest and fear less administration has intluenced a man of such discurnincut. and intelli gence, as is thu son of the great nov elist. The necrology of 1 S8S promises to be remarkable i*r the number of names of eminent men recorded in it. Kings, statesman, publicists, authors, artists and philanthropists make ti]> the list; and as luilf of the year has not yet passed by, and many others equally famous give signs that their earthly careers will soon close, the end of the year may show a register unexampled in this century. Referring to the Alger raid on the colured delegates at Chicago, the New \ork Herald correspondent reports ex-Governor Foster, of (>luo, as say. ing:— “It is a mistake to lniy them up at this stage of the buttle. They are now Hush. Before the Convention is over they will have gone the IIINnd of the policy shops, and then they will he thinking how they are to get home. Tho candidate who hides his time will then have his turn to put in fine work.” AN OLD TIME PROPHET SPEAKS. Zadkiel’s almanac is a publication almost as old as the hills. It is a prophetic almanac, hut noliody knows who Zadkiel was, or seems to care a rap as to the seer who is now trading in his name. None the less a large number of persons are firm in their faith as to Zadkiel’s utterances. Here are some of liis more note worthy predictions. “After tlio sun enters Cancer (June 21) the French will have a sharp quarrel ou tlicir hands, and political dissentions will be unusually bitter”—“The Czar will heonthorn8 about June 23. There will be earthquake shocks in Russia, Austria and the East towards the end of the month.” In July he predicts great fires in Loudon, and earthquakes and mining accidents in England. In August— especially about the 1st, 7th, 10th, 12th 14th, 20th and 22nd—there will he severe earthquake shocks the world over. A great political excitement with mob violence is set down for France on August 12, and epidemic cholera in Eastern Europe will also prevail at that period. In this country the end of July will he remarkable for numerous deaths from heat, and in June and July the President and his Cabinet will have many thorny questions to decide. The trade of the American people will he greatly expanded. Sud den deaths will be very numerous, es pecially from heart disease, in Charles ton, Philadelphia, Washington and New York. Septemlier 22 will be marked by troubles in Ismisville, Ky., and other places ten degrees west of Washington. Well; so far as the Czar of Russia is concerned, Zadkiel is probably right. That monarch is on thorns, and has been for some time. In France anything in the way of jroliti- cal excitement is possible, either now or months hence. Earthquakes and fires are occurrences which may lia|>- pen at any time; so with these Zad kicl also stands a fair chance of being correct. Nor is it unreasonable to presume tliat difficult questions may arise for Mr. Cleveland and liis Cabinet to de cide. A contingency of this nature is always within the range of possibil ities. Zadkiel, however, makes his surest point in predicting an expansion of trade in the fall. This is just as cer tain as eggs are eggs. Anybody who questions it need only come to Athens two months hence. If Zadkiel means there will also he an expansion of our foreign commerce, his reputation as a prophet will depend upon the early passage of the Mills bill. HPlhlTUALIST FRAUDS. Now that tile Diss Debar spiritual ist frauds have been convicted and sentenced to tliejienitentiary, it is to he devoutly hoped that a crusade against swindlers of this kind will he waged with a high hand. That the spirit world exerts a greater or loss influence upon the world of matter is the belief of many persons eminent alike for rectitude of life and high intelligence. Sweden borg and others, whose every action and motive was beyond question, be lieved this doctrine and preached it. Still the mind of man has never yet been able to grasp its mys terious workings. But Heaven help the poor credu lous fools of today who can be induced by jugglers of unsavory repute to be lieve that the spirits of the good and the great choose as their medium of communication with this world a de graded, obese strumpet, or some puny male whose morals are as rotten as his aspect is revolting. You have a pure and holy mother, or an honorable and God-like father, who has passed into the great beyond. Can von—dare you—believe that if it is in her or his power to exercise upon you an influence for good, that she or he will choose to transmit this in fluence to you only through the medi um of a debauched siren, or a wretch whose instincts are loner than those of the beasts that perish? Does not your faith in God—your whole man hood—rise in revolt at such an idea? Don't you feel like denouncing it with every nerve and fibre of your physical, mural and mental composi tion? Nobody can—nobody really does— believe in such a horrible doctrine. There he certain unscrupulous ones who pretend they do, hut this pre tense is only founded ujKm a desire for temporary gain. Men of science and professional jugglers have time and time again exposed the tricks of alleged spirit mediums, and in this nineteenth century a man or a woman who proposes to pin his or her faith to the teachings of such creatures, should, with the impostors themselves, he hustled off to the penitentiary or the mad house, there to remain till they become possessed of decency and reason. A Chicago reporter was anxious to interview Mr. Depew the day before yesterday; hut found himself check mated in every move towards ap proaching that august gentleman. He heard, however, towards evening, that the great Chauncy was 011 liis way to a remote part of the lake shore, where he contemplated taking a swim. The reporter followed; and plunging himself into Michigan's cool waves interviewed the great after- dinner statesman by swimming along side of him, plying him the mean while with the questions the news- gatherer desired to have answered. Several prominent Episcopal clergy, in England as well as in this country, have joined the Roman Catholic church within tho past two weeks, and thoir action has caused great excite ment. But just why they should he criticised is not very clear. The sun • >f a broad and liberal Christianity which shines upon the world today never ceases to infuse rays of latitu- dinarian thought into all sections of the Christian church. If a man is sincere in his convictions, what mat ters it to what church he belongs? All Christians agree as to the spirit of their faith. Let the letter go. The Savannah News says that Hon. Fleming duBignon made for himself a reputation as a strong exponent of tariff reform at tho St. Louis conven tion. As a member of the commit tee on resolutions and platform he ably seconded Mr. Watterson in se curing a lull recognition of tariff re form. Mr- Watterson stated to Mr. duBignon’s friends tliat to tho young Georgian, as lie culled him, tho party was indebted for the victory of that part of the committee tliat insisted upon the unqualified indorsement of the tariff views of the President as aet forth iu bis message. The Geor gia delegation jiassed a vote of IhankV to Mr. duBignon for the able manner m which lie represented the princi- ples of the Democratic party, ns set ii i 'li in tho proceedings of thcTOCcnt State 0011 vent ion, and which were vir tually incorporated iu the national platform. THE FUTURE OF THE PRESS- An erroneous impression exists among many as to the position of on independent newspaper, which is fre quently confounded with the idea of neutrality. . The mere fact of a former Republi can organ speaking in praise of a ] li-uiocrutic measure or politician shows its independence of those party shackle* which command its or gans to speak always detrimental of the opjiosite party; and it is note worthy tliat every independent jour nal has had great success, while strict party organs have hat indifferent pat ronage. People no longer take their politics from partisan newspapers. Indeed it is doubtful if newspapers any longer lead public sentiment; they are rather the followers, taking up with wonde r fully quick precision the quietly grow ing public thought, and striving to develop it Tho future of the press of this "intry will tend more and more to independence, and in this way it will become, if not the leader, the corrector of false public opinion, originated by extreme partisans, by speaking well of any party or of any man who does well, and denouncing wrong with equal fearlessness. Having lost its power of creating public opinion, it naa a yet higher field in supporting the right and op posing the wrong, out of which, and news gathering, comes its strength and Howard. COL- LIVINGSTON'S SLANDER- In a recent speech before the Pres byterian convention in Atlant, Col. L. F. Livingston, of Covington, de nounced all colleges, male and female, in Georgia. Of our female colleges lie said: “Nowadays nothing was taught girls but nonsense, and when they returned home they turned up their noses at dish-rags and cooking.” The young lady graduate of today is as womanly, as polished and per haps more highly cultivated tliau ever before. It is natural that she should be gay, joyous and fond of pleasure. But when she settles in life, by mar riage or otherwise, she proves herself perfect in domesticity and thoroughly equipped, by her training, for all the more serious duties of life. As an instance, so far from teaching her pu pils only the German and allowing them to read dime novels, neither of which is allowed in the school, the Principal of our own cherished Lucy Bible, in a few parting words to her graduating class, directed them to the Bible as the guide of their life. That she had instilled its teachings while the graduates were with her, anil that they will in after life follow the ad vice of one so much Moved needs no proof. Col Livingston’s criticisms of the University were particularly umligni tied and disloyal. That lie should go abroad and abuse an institution of whicli lie is a voluntary guardian, proves him unworthy the trust, and his very unfaithfulness throws di- credit on his utterances. Were his charges true, self respect should force him to resign his place on the Board of Trustees. When he said that “most of the pr lessors in the University were dead licats, who cared nothing for educat ing boys. It was only bread and meat with them,” he cast a reflection on the intelligence of 35 of the fore most men in Georgia, who constitute the Board of Trustees. Tliat it is a base slander is self evident. Per haps no more devoted and painstaking faculty exists than that in charge of the University of Georgia. The united sentimsntof 'hundreds of alumni vvou'd utter a loud assent to this statement. Year by year numbers of the youtli of Georgia are trained under their careful instruction, who are now, as ever, ready to testify to the ability and conscientiousness of the faculty of the University. Senator Brown considers it entirely proper tliat the next legislature should dispose of the State road question. He declares himself opposed to the sale of the road as long as ths State can lease it for $25,000 a month. Hut declares ho will have nothing l* do with a new lease. iparal bration of the Fourth of July are the grandest witnessed for many a long year. When the Central City shall liave been directly connected with Athens by bands of iron, her pro gressiveness will be even more pro gressive. WHAT TO OO. The Thomasville Enterprise asks the following idiotical question, and issues it os news: “When your edito rial Faber is dull and no editorial pocket knife can be fonnd. in your editorial pantaloons pocket, aud one in the editorial sanctum-sanctorum has a knife sharp enough to trim a pudding, what is a poor editor to do when^ui incorrigible typo hollows out ‘copy?’ Let the Banner-Watchman- tell you:—Quit nauseating talk .about the chesnutie faber, sanctum, and all such stereotyped old fads. Take your pen cil in hand and make something spicy out of nothing. If yon can’t do that yon have missed your vocation, and should forthwith hie yourself to your true sphere—in the field ploughing or chopping cotton, or in the woods split ting rails.

It is a notable fact, and one. too, not generally tnou o, that some of the “best all-around** mechanics—i. e., those who Mn turn their hands to all kinds of gen eral machine work—aro tnen who learned their business in small shops, where all sorts and all classes of work aro doDe.
