which certain Republican members
did their best to increase the difficulty
of the situation, Mr. Henderson, of
Ohio, offered an amendment appropri
ating §250,000 for a national colored
exposition in Atlanta. Mr. Wise
objected, stating that Virginia asked
no money and bis amendment simply
gave, the right for a Government
exhibit. Then other amendments
were brought up, one appropriating
§40,000 for an exposition in Kansas
City—and so the merry war pro
ceeded.
Messrs. Barnes and Carlton, seeing
that it was impossible to stem the
tide of filibustering which had un
fortunately set in, found themselves in
such an embarrassing position, that
they were compelled to vote against
the proposition as to tlie Government
exhibit.

may see its way to rendering an en

Once, more I have to tell you that this

LET THE NEGROES TAKE HEED-
A newspaper edited and supj»orted
by the colored people of New York,
in noting tlie ln.lt of white Republi
cans in tlie Sixth Altbama District
tlie other day, in consequence of tl:
nomination of a negro candidate for
(Jongross, significantly remarks :—
“It is a fact wliicli few persons have,
perhaps, realized that without the
support of the African brother the
Republican party could carry but
nine States in the Union, viz : Kansas
Maine, Massachusetts, Minnesota.
Nebraska, < >r»*gon. Pennsylvania, Ver
mont and Rhode Island, a total of 82
electoral votes, leaving to the Demo
crats twenty-nine States, easting J19
votes.”
The Republican party lias for many
a long year been absolutely dependent
ui/Oii its negro supporters in the
Northern States for the fragmentary
and doubtful ascendency which it lias
j maintained in the affairs of the Fed
eral Government since the war. Tlie
ballot was bestowed upon the negro in
the expectation that,the black vote
would have control of the Southern
States. Tliat expectation lias not
been realised, but the negro vote has
been a very important factor in-keep
ing up Republican preponderance in
the North. Otherwise the country
would have swung back after the war
to its Democratic mooring.
Considering the services rendered
by the colored voters of the North in
keeping the Republican party in
power, the political rewards meted
out to him have been outrageously
disproportionate to liis deserving.

The absolute purity of the Boyal Baking Powder is a
fact not questioned by anyone; but the questions are fre
quently asked: Why do not other manufacturers,'also, put
up pure baking powders, free from lime, alum, and other
adulterants \ Is it a fact that the Royal is the only pure
and wholesome baking powder made 2
There are three classes of these articles: The cheap
powders which are made of alum and are concededly
poisonous; the phosphate powders containing from 8 to 12
per cent, of lime, which is an ingredient of the phosphate
used in them, and inseparable from it; and the cream of
tartar powders.
The cream of tartar baking powders, to which class
the Royal belongs, to be pure must be made from abso
lutely pure materials. The ordinary cream of tartar of thc
market contains lime. The Royal Baiting Powder is made
from cream of tartar specially retired and prepared for
its use by patent processes by which the lime is totally
eliminated. There is no other process by which cream of
tartar can bo freed from lime—made 100 per cent, pure—in
quantities practical for commercial purposes. Other bak
ing powder makers, not being able to obtain these chem-
ically pure goods (which are used exclusively in the Royal),
are dependent upon the cream of tartar of the market,
refined by the old-fashioned methods, by which it is im
possible to remove the lime and other impurities.
These are the reasons why the Royal is absolutely
pure, while other baking powders contain lime or alum.
The absolute purity of tho Royal Baking Powder not
only renders it more perfectly wholesome, but its freedom
from all extraneous substances makes it of higher leaven
ing strength and effectiveness.

The farmer needs jute Bagging for
liis grain and for baling his cotton.
The thrifty speculator, taking thought
for himself that the grain crop has
been abundant and that the cotton
crop promises to l*e good, is now or
ganizing a “Trust” under the benign
ugeney of the tariff tax on jute, to
fleece the noble farmer when lie shall
buy his bagging. So one iniquity fol
low on the heels of another, and lie-
tween the protectionist and the spec
ulator it is hard for honest folk to
come hy tlieir own.
PRE-EMINENTLY SATISFACTORY
The re-iioniination of Governor Gor
don and tlie State House officials,
though a foregone conclusion, was an
eminently wise step. Their election
goes without saying.
Governor Gordon’s administration
has lieen thoroughly efficient and sat
isfactory in every way. But no small
amount of the credit necessarily falls
upon his able lieutenants in office.
Our State affairs have been conducted
with remarkable judgment and con
servatism. There is little question
that the people will heartily endorse
this opinion when they shall gather
at the polls in Octol*er.
The appointments for electors can
not fail to give equal satisfaction.
Mr. Jordan is well known throughout
this district as un able and conscien
tious gentleman. Nor does the name
of Thomas E. Watson need commenda
tion: while that of the brilliant John
T. Graves has become a household
word throughout the State. He is
one of the leading yov.ng men of
Georgia, and nobody can predict where
his public career wili end.
We repeat that the result at Atlanta
lias l>een pre-eminently satisfactory.
The Knights of Labor, of Indiana,
have very properly expelled A..bur
U. Everett from their oreler on account
of his obnoxious atheism. Everett
has Is en one of their most successful
organisers, and was at one time editor
of an official paj*er of tlie order. Lat
terly he has started a crusade against
the reading of the Bible at the lodge
meetings. His course has thus been
very obnoxious to the nieml*ers t and
liis expulsion was accordingly accom
plished by a practically unanimous
vote.

The “bears” had their inning last fall,
when the overloaded “longs” were
forced to acknowledge the error of
their calculations of the crop yield.
Now tha “bulls” are on top, and the
“shorts” are likely to pay dearly for
their temerity in selling the market
down to the close of the season.
The statement as credited to Prince
Bismarck, that peace in Europe is
now assured for many years, would
m seem to imply that a perfect under-
% standing has been arrived at between
* the German Kaiser and the Russian
. Czar. H Russia should be conciliated
in the Balkans, tlieu she could offer no
further reason for longing to push
westward. The only question is with
respect to the objections that might
be offered by Austria and Turkey to
the changes which Russia will proba
bly demand south of the Balkans.
Prince Gortschakoff described the
Berlin ccr-n-esa of 1878 as “the dark
est page in his official career.” The
indications now are that, should
there be a new congress, Russia,
hacked up by Germany, would try to
. regain what she thsn lost.
A MOCK TRIUMPH.
In the ancient Roman republic, a
triumph was a solemn procession to
celebrate a victory; the highest mili
tary honor that could be obtained by
a corquering general, as be and his
magnificent equipages thundered along
the Via Sacra, to ascend the Capitol-
ian Hill and sacrifice ahull to Jupiter.
The victor was preceded by his cap
tives and spoi]f, i nd his war chariot
was followed by h: s army. Vespasian
and Titus, returning in glory from
Jerusalem, had triumphs of this kind.
Ciesar was due su«-.h a triumph, after
his conquest of Gaul, hut he didn’t
get one.
In this our American republic tri-
umps of various degrees of splendor
have been meted out to conquering
heroes and victorious patriots.
When Grant returned from his
qaisi-triuraphal tour of the world—a
peaceful triumph though it was—to
liim was accorded a magnificent re
ception. This might have been only
natural, in view of the post he had
occupied, and liis work for what was
believed to be the best interests of his
country.
But why accord a triumphal entry
to Mr. Blaine, on his return from a
series of private visits to the Old
World? What has Mr. Blaine ever
done for his country? His worst en
emies even will admit that he is a
man of stupendous intellect, and his
best friends must confess he is as de
void of principle as it is possible for a
man to l»e. Jle has been for nearly
two generations in the public service,
and what has he done? Absolutely
nothing—beyond working assiduously
aud unremittingly for James G.
Blaine. From a j*oor school teacher
in Kentucky he rose to be a many
times over millionaire Secretary of

LANDLORDISM AT HOME-

casionally attracts the attention of
Congress, hut official documents sent
to that body suggest that English _ w
landlordism in the United States is ( State, by means too well known to
need comment here. And as Secreta-
worth keeping in view. Two English
syndicates hold in Texas alone an ag
gregate of 7,000,000 acres. A third
syndicate has 1,800.000 acres Ameri
can land. Sir E. Reid, K. C. B. has
2,000,000 acres in Florida, nnd a
Scotch syndicate f>00,000 acies in that
State. The Louden firm of Phillips,
Aiarshall A Co. has .1,300,000 acres in
this country; another London firm
1,750,000 acres. A German syndi
cate owns 1,100,000 acres. An Eug-
liflh company ]>ossesses 700,000 acres
in Mississippi; another has 750,000
acres to its credit. A dozen other
foreign companies or individuals have
acres figuring in the hundred thou

We are all “poor critter*,” and onr

1 believed to be the right, and I offer
no apology for having done *0. On
the other hand, I ask no apology from
the man who wore the gray and fought
under the blood-stained Southern
cro**, for he, too, suffered and strug-
f led for what he believed to be right!’’

We contend that the “triumphal

Ilunnicuu Rheumatic Cure Co.:
Dear Sirs—It gives me pleasuts to ex
press my high appreciation of “Hunni-
cutl's Rheumatic Cure,” and to inform
you of the remarkable cure which 1 have
experienced from its use. I suffered for
10 years with rheumatism in its most
obstinate and most distressing form. 1
used all the most approved remedies
kpown to the medical profession,«and
consulted some of tho most eminent
physicians not only in this country, hut
in Europe, without obtaining only tempo
rary relief. Some attacks would contiue
mo to my bed and room for six months.
During ona of these attacks, while pros
trated and despondent, almost without
hope of recovery, Mr. Ilunnicutt called
to gee me, and made known bis formula,
and gave his experience in regard to the
many wonderful cures made by his
“Cure.’, I was pleased with his combi
nation and candid recommendation, and
at once began tho use of bis Cure. In
24 hours 1 was the happiest man in the
world, free from pain, and could sleep-
next day was able to walk about my
house. Language is as inefficient to do-
scribe the happy effect ol Uie ’ Cure” as
it is to convey an adequate idea of the
intensity of my sufferings before the use
of “liunnicutt’s Cure.” Bufflctent to say
(hat the use of two bottles effected a
complete cure of of my ease after suf
fering for sixteen years, and everything
elte had failed to eradicate the disease
from my system. Yes, I can confidently
