BLAINE’S BITTEREST FOES' INDEPENDENTS MAKING HIS DEFEAT A CERTAINTY. Their Work More Vigorous than that Done by Both of the Regular Cam paign Committees Combined - The Old Stalwart Half- Breed Fight to be Renewed. Special to the American.] Washington, Aug., 20. —While ilie democratic and republican campaign committees are doing very little for lack of the necessary money the independ ents of New York are reported to be well equipped with money, and at once wise and liberal in its expenditure A demo cratic congressman, who was at the dem ocratic headquarters to-day, said that the New York independents were doing more work than both the old committees put together. He said; “They have had 200,000 copies of Carl Schurz’s speech printed in both German and English and are distributing it in all directions, not only in New York, "Wisconsin, Ohio and Kansas, but everywhere that the German vote is worth seeking. They have gone into the work with a will and a determi nation unequalled by either of the regu lar organizations, and, taking advantage of then’ knowledge of the republican plans and methods, are doing all in their power to defeat Blaine. They have had a large number of copies of the resolu tions passed by the Young Men’s Inde pendent Republican Club of Brooklyn printed, and are circulating them freely The ablest men at the head of the move ment are giving their personal attention to the campaign work, and are contrib uting everything that their knowledge and ability and their money can furnish. They are determined to defeat Blaine, and are sparing no means to secure that end. They are working like Trojans, but they are working on their own hook, and independently of the democratic committee. Outside of the state they are working among the Germans chiefly. In the state they are using all their pow er in the way of argument and influence to foster the natural antagonism between the stalwarts and the Blaine elements; and they are going to revive Blaine’s letter, which was published during Fol ger’s campaign for governor, in which the Maine statesman advises that the Garfield republicans of the state remain at home on election day and allow Fol ger to be beaten. This, it is understood, they will circulate, together with the statement that Blaine sought to defeat Folger because he knew that if the stal warts got the ascendency in the state he could not get the support of ‘the ma chine’ to secure his nomination at Chi cago.; and they will appeal to the stal warts not to make themselves tools in the hands of a man who sacrificed them once and slaughtered their candidate to promote his own personal ambition.” Malarial Poison. Rome, Ga., May 23, 1883. In 1880 I came from the north to take charge of the gas works in Rome, as su perintendent, and after the overflow, which occurred in the spring following, I was very much exposed to malarial poisou, and in 1882 found my blood so contaminated with the Jkuson that I was forced to give up business. I was treat ed by the Rome physicians without re lief, they advising me to go north, which I did. The doctors north told me that my only hope was to return to the mild er climate, and accordingly I came back to Rome, completely broken down and nearly a skeleton. My trouble finally determined in an abscess of the liver, and nearly every one (myself included) thought I was doomed to die within a few days. In this condition I was advis ed by a friend to take Swift’s Specific, and I took it just as a drowning man would catch at a straw, but as soon as my system got under the influence of the remedy, the abscess came to a point and burst, passing off without pain. In fif teen days after this I was up at my work, and have since enjoyed excellent health. Every sufferer from malarial poison should take Swift’s Specific. G. G. Spencer, Sup’t. Rome Gas Light Cos. Treatise on blood and skin diseases mailed free. The Swift Specific Cos., drawer 3, Atlanta, Ga., 159 W. 23cl St., N. Y., and 1205 Chestnut St., Pliila. Mr. Blaine has made his own canvass. He has chosen his own issues. He is not a man unacquainted with political life, as Grant was on his first nomina tion. He is not a dummy, like Hayes. He is admitted to be one of the shrewd est of politicians; and it is quite fair to assume that he is his own general, and that he has not placed himself passively in the hands of his “managers.” There fore we have a right to believe that the lines on which his campaign is conduct ed are of his own choosing. He has only himself to blame if the lines prove to be ifi-chosen. TO THE OtYXF.RS OF MIMKU. PROPERTY GENERALLY, TIIKOI'UIOIT THE STATE. In our display of the natural resources of the state, at the World’s Industrial and Cotton Centennial Exposition, which opens in New Orleans, Louisiana, De cember 4th, 1884, we dtsure to have every mineral property in the state rep resented by the best specimens that can be had. We have no appropriation, and merely funds enough to take charge of such as may be sent in by parties inter ested in the development of these re sources. Our time, moreover, is so lim ited as to admit of no delay, and we hope that those parties will get out and at once put into the hands of the commis sioner for his county such specimens as they may desire to be shown at New Or leans. This circular will be seut to you by snob commissi jter who will address his name and post- iflice on its back for your reference. After delivery to him he specimens will be forwarded here to headquarters free of all charge to you. Iron ores, asbestos, corundum, fire clays, kaolins, pyrites, etc., etc., should be sent in quantities not less than a half barrel. Marble, buhr-stones, building stones and the like, should be dressed to the uniform size of 12x12x6 inches, ready to be polished, for which arrangements have been made in this city. Soapstone should be nicely sawn in slabs 2 ft. by 1 ft. by 6 inches, and packed in straw to prevent the chipping of corners, etc. Orchids, kaolins, shell marls, etc., which cannot be sent in lumps, should be forwarded hi large flour sacks. Mica must be packed very carefully to prevent bruising. We will be glad to have also any small hand specimens of any minerals whatev er. These will be mounted in handsome glass cases, illustrating the general min eralogy of the state. These minerals will be shown to the world at New Orleans, and afterwards turned over to such state departments as may be properly authorized by the leg islature to receive and take care of them. It is hoped that this move to exhibit our resources and keep them where they may be shown at any time to capitalists, will meet with universal favor, and that the people will promptly respond, so that all specimens may be received in Atlanta by October Ist. Your county commis sioner will supply you with tags with which to tag your barrels, boxes or bags. Mark on each the full name of the own er, his post-office and the number of the lot. The samples will all be conspicu ously labelled this way at New Orleans, together with the complete analysis. In Southern and Middle Georgia val uable oclires, fire-clays and shell-marls abound, and we expect first-class contri butions of these samples from the sec tions named. Your very prompt atten tion is necessary, as there is no time for delay. Very respect fully, N. P. Pratt, Geologist in Charge State Mineral Collection for New Orleans. “Tel! the truth!” —Grover Cleveland. And the truth is told. An honest man, a useful and upright citizen, a trusted and trustworthy public official, the life long friend and servant of the people, has been assailed with an accusation so cruel, immoderate and shocking that its very impudence gave it a certain cur rency. His best friends stopped to ask themselves: Is it possible that we have been mistaken in this man? —that under our very eyes he has led a life of which we knew nothing?—that he is the brutal profligate that he is described? They turned to him to ask: What shall you do to meet these charges? His answer came prompt and clear: “Tell the truth!” And now, after the most thorough investiga tion, we have the truth, the simple and unimpeachable truth. And what is it? Twelve years ago he was iu intimate relations with a woman, a widow of forty. He voluntarily accepted the paternity of a child bom to this woman. For the support of mother and child he provided more than liberally, and in the end, it was his generosity that enabled the wo man to lead a virtuous life in a distant place. With the misfortunes which she brought upon her own head he had nothing whatever to do, directly or indi rectly. He was honorable and generous to her, first and last. And on this poor foundation is built tlie sickening slander which has defiled this presidential cam paign as no other has been defiled in this generation. What is that, mother? Is it a breeze that sweeps across the dudes, and makes them shiver softly with tremulous glad ness, and sets their silver-headed canes knocking together and their thin legs rattling? Or is it an earthquake that makes them happy? No, my son; they have just heard the news that Lillian Russell is coming back. Maud S., beat the record, did she? Think that’s something great, do you? Bless your sweet little soul, our own particular Maud S., beat her own record the other day by three water-ices, two eclairs, one cream-cake, one plate of peaches-and-cream, lialf-a-pound of can died fruit and three bananas. And no body said anything about it. Except the doctor. He said it was just what he expected. Relation of Agricnltnrr in tbe Belh to Mftßifattire*. Notwithstanding the many advantages of the south for agriculture, advantages that are admittedly superior in many respects to those of the greater part of the balance of this country, it is an un deniable fact that the southern farmers, as a class, labor under very serious uis advantages. Their lands will produce a great variety of products besides cotton, and in these smaller crops as well as in dairying, the poultry yard, etc., there ought to be much profit; but unfortu nately it is not so, except to a limited extent. Unless near some city or indus trial centre, their efforts in trnckiug or similar enterprises meet with rather poor reward as they find no consumers for their goods. With them there are too many producers and too few consumers. The vast possibilities of the south for fruit and vegetable production, dairying, etc., are thus almost wholly, we may say, undeveloped. We have seen the finest kind of fruit left to rot on the ground or be fed to hogs. Why? Sim ply because everybody in the neighbor hood had all that they needed and no market could be found for it except at a long distance and at high freights. And so it is with iitlier things than the staple crops of cotton, wheat and corn, and hence, willing or unwilling, southern far mers must confine their attention to these. It is true that hi some localities the trucking business can be made profit able by shipping to northern markets, but this cannot be done except in cer tain sections. If they raise fruits or veg etables there are no purchasers, and if they attempt to' sell butter, eggs or poul try, even to the country stores, in ex change for goods, the prices obtained are so small as to leave no profit. The hope of the south is a changed condition of the agricultural interests, in diversified farming, and in so increasing the number of non-agriculturists as to furnish a home market for farm produc tion of all kinds. This cannot he done by a general wholesale immigration to the south, as this would add more to the food producers than to the food consum ers, and still further increase the dispro portion between these two classes. What the south does need above all else in this line is immigration of non-food produ cers, artisans and manufactures. If we can only build up all over the south manufacturing and mining industries, we will soon settle the question of how to improve the financial condition of south ern fanners. The farmer will then find a good home market for his productions, and he wiil soon be emancipated from the slavery of all-cotton system. In new of these facts, the great ques tion for southern statesmen is how to develop the industrial interests of the south? Already there is great progress in that line, and a few more years of uninterrupted development will find the south a great manufacturing and mining centre. This can be secured only by a judicious protective tariff. Let that be assured and the south will continue to make rapid advances in building up her factories and mills, and those who reap the greatest benefits from such would be the farmers. Reduce the tariff or keep tinkering at it and depression wifi follow, capitalists will refuse to invest in iron works or cotton mills or coal mines, and the south’s industrial advance will be check ed, and the greatest sufferers will be the farmers. For the Benefit of the Suffering. I was affected for nearly four years with eczema. The doctors called it at first erysipelas. I was treated by phy sicians. I was cured by Swift’s Specific. I used about thirty bottles and have had no trouble with it since. I refused to take it, even after it was recommended to me by others, for some time—such was my prejudice to the name of it, but having tried it myself I now believe it is the best blood purifier in all my knowl edge. It did another thing for me. I had suffered from piles for many years. Since taking this medicine I have been relieved, and believe it cured me. R. H. Jones. August 25th, 1884, Cartersville, Ga. They are certainly a strange choice for a man who claims to be a statesman and a patriot. Let us see what is the scheme, as far as developed, of the Blaine cam paign, that was to be “aggressive” and “American.” In the first place the ag gressive American has set to work to iden tify with his cause those aggressive Am ericans who were bom in Ireland and who think that that fact gives them a li cense to ravage and murder among the English people, with whom, as a nation, we are on friendly terms. At the same time, we have Mr. Blaine’s written assu rance that he desires to see the United States at peace with all the rest of the world. With similar aggressiveness, his followers are picturing him to various constituencies as an ardent prohibition ist and a liberal-minded friend of the liquor traffic. These gentle enthusiasts likewise do honor to their leader’s states manship by crediting him with the mak ing of certain fictitious treaties of great patriotic potency. This is done in the same airy w r ay in which they accuse Mr. Cleveland of vetoing bills that the New York Legislature never passed. GUFF. She lediiß far out rpou the window sill, And bathes her fair brow in the cool night air. The moonlit street below her feet is still, Or echoes only to the passer rare. Far out she leans, her rounded arms gleatu white, Her dainty, rose-hued lips breathed odorous sighs, And in her deep, bine meltiug eyes the light Of an unutterable yearning lies. White robed she is, this sentry of the night, Fair as the visions of a young man’s dreaut- - Al length her eyes wita hope fulfilled g:ow bright— “He ccmes,” she murmurs, “and he’s got the cream ” An ocean swell —a naval dude. Where there’s political life there's ‘soap.’ “Let us Tewksbury the past”—B F. Butler. The old forged letter dodge will woik no more—eh ! A berth to the custom house Is worto two in the bush. The political campaign is generally opened with a corkscrew. It is rumored that Wiggins is preparing to predict the recent earthquake. Earthquakes are very aristocratic, at least :hey always belong to the upper crust. The man who makes wagers may be very w icked, but rhe one who does not is no better Bring up a cashier in the way he should go and when he gets fixed he will skip out to Gauuda. The Houston Post has discharged its man ager. Is this to make room for Bartow, late oi the Statesman ? Mr. Watterson’s goddess of reform is star eyed and a virgin ; Mr. Dana’s is oblique eyed aud r. widow. If men knew as much at forty years of age as they thought they knew at twenty, there would be more statesmen in the country. Cleveland’s claims are somewhat similar to those of some of these patent baking pow ders, viz ; ‘perfect putity and great strength.’ It docs not require a very smart man to manage a guilotine, but such an executioner can alw’ays get ahead of the smartest prisoner. : ‘I wonder how the ice cream is in there?” she thoughtfully observed. “Cold, I guess,” was the chilling response, aud they continued their walk. Canada is entilled to the name of “Tbe land of the free and the home of the knave.” The American knave has too much freedom over there. Miss lI.—No, we do not advise early mar riages. Youth is the time for moonlight walks and quiet talks and icecream. Be happy while you can. Courtship in Mexico is called dooing the bear.” We never knew a bear to treat to iec cream, but wlten it comes to hugging he scoojps the confectionery. When a young man proposes to a Boston girl and she wants to know what salary he re ceives, she asks him “to designate the amount of his stipendiary emolument.” It is always unfortunate to have no music in one’s soul. Jast imagine the unfortunate plight of a man just now, who is a verse to a campaign song. A Cinnman has been appointed on the po lice force by the democratic city officials in New York. Shade ol Dennis Kearney, has it come to this ? It is a singular fact that the more unclean the political canvass is, tbe more “soap” there is used, and yet the more “soap” is used the more unclean the canvass becomes. There is a girl in Turner, Me , who smokes, chews, shaves, swears and weirs a man’s hat Her unconquerable propensity for ice cream is the only thing that betrays her. A Philadelphia girl fainted right in front ot an ice cream saloon, and has gone clean back on her lover because he had her carried to a drug store across the street instead of into the saloon. The Berlin servants are getting quite high toned. They have now an organ entitled the Cook and Housemaid, which the mistress is permitted to read, if she does not allow it to interfere with her domestic duties. A young lady recently went to a fancy dress ball as a champagne bottle, cork and all com plete. A gentleman was so ungallant as to say that she might have omitted the cork ; her own head would have done very well. If there is anything in a name, there is one paper in T*xas that cannot easily be frozen out. We refer to the Dallas Mercury. To preserve the unities it should remove to Aus tin, where there is such an abundance of “Heaven kissing chills.” Frank James, the ex-bandit of Missouri, has gone into politics. It is an old saying that one false step leads to another, but we did uot think Frank had sunk so low as that. But then any man who indulges in train-robbing is liable to come to a bad end. Some of the dime novel writers are in a hur ry to get their pay, otherwise they would re vise their work, and uot allow such startling statements as the following to appear in type: “I grew up to manhood without ever kuowing what the love cf a parent really was, for my mother died when my eldest brother was born.” “I haven’t had a bite for two days,” pleaded a tramp. “Is it possible ?” answered the wo man with sympathy. “I’ll see what I can do for you in the way of a bite. Here, Tige—- Tige—” Thetrtmp broke as2 gate getting away. “There’a something the matter with this lemonade; I guess your lemons must have been too ripe.” “Ob, no,” replied the waiter; “tine lemons are all right. It may be the ice ; a lit tle stale, perhaps.” “Ice stale?” “Yes, sir ; been kept since last winter, you know.” Cus tomer driuks in silence. Host (really iu agony about his polished in laid floor)—“Hadn’t you better come on the carpet, old fellow? I’m so afraid you might slip, you know.” Guest (who has a wooden leg)-“Oh, it’s all right, thanks! There’s a uail in the end, you kuow.” w bile a Burlington youth had hfc arm! mound his girl s waist the other evening a : section of whalebone corset burst with a loud suai>.

The canvass flairs; Somehow it scents As il it were But dream* of dreams; No real snap, No Ravage trying— Nothing but casual Summer lying. Loiters of acceptance, as a rule, are noted for what they do not say. A prohibition candidate should be a man who can uurry water on both shoolders. The editor who wrote that Blaine’s eyca had a fa -away look, probably meant to say that they were resting ou the While House. By the way, has anybody seei; the letter of acceptance of C. Pomeroy, nominated for Pi evident by the Amciican prohibition party t The republican managers say tbe independ ent movement is ail bluster. These meu o usriil to know bluster when they see it, sure enough. Ben Butler’s adherents wear spoons on the lapels of their coat* as nn insignia of their determination to raise the rag baby by haud. A sound multiplying attachment, by which a whisper in a telephone can be trnnstolined Into a shout, Las been iu vented. Butler should buy one for his boom. Hendricks will now look under the bed every night to be sure that no request for his resignation lurks beneath his sleeping form with evil intent. Blaine has fulfilled his promise of an ag gressive eaiupaigu. That three-column let ter of acceptance is kuowu to have proved fatal in several instances. It’s pretty hard work to keep track t f all the iueonstaucies in politics. Tbe latest dis covery is that the Kansas and lowa prohibi tionists go right along raising corn. Does the stay-at-home voter know that, col lectively, he absorbs one-third of tbe voting strength of these Uuited Sates V If he does the knowledge ought to rouse him to action. Mr. Dana has apparently made up his mind to vote for ex-senator Pomeroy for president, at least the Sun says that all the clanks in the country will support Pomeroy. Frederick Douglass and Johu G. Whittier have announced their earnest support of Blaiue and Logan, aud we suppose must bo reckoned os below the Btaudard of political purity. The horrible discovery has been made that Mr. Blaiue on several occasions loaned his railway pass to his private secretary. Mr. Cleveland never did nuythiug so wicked as th and, we understand. General Butler believes he can poll 2,000,- 000 votes. Why, centainly. There are Ben and Charles A. Dana—they are 2—and the other 000,000 will be easy euough to pick up almost anywhere. The Wilmington News has an editorial about railroad improvements with the tittle: “What Lies Just Ahead but it must have had the. political campaign iu miud at the lime of that w riting. We will never have auy genuine polities in this country till the old-lasliioned barbecue is revived. Baked shoat, fresh buttermilk aud home-made bread will wiu votes when every thing else fails. The statement that Hcndiicks wears corsets has been unhesitatingly stamped as a cam paign lie. Mr. Hendricks has a wile who is uot only able to wear the corsets but the trousers of the family. Ex-Governor St. John has at last confessed that “republican whiskey is as bad as Derno ciatic whiskey.” The Governor has evidently been visiiing some of the border towns aud sampled the wrong barrel. Nearly two hundred Blaine campaign bal lads have been coppy wrighted. If this doesn’t show that there is harmony iu the party, what does/ Chicago News. Yes; there is more harmony in the party than in the ballads. Political papers are nil accusing each other of eating crow. We don’t think they really eat much crow, but the average editor is al ways ready to drink crow—the Old Crow whis key that has such a reputation in this enlight ened land. The Greenback papers are indignant because Solon Chase, of Maine pronounces in favor of Blaine nod Logan. Solan has been the main stay of the greeu hackers in the northeast, and his apostaey bodes ill to them. Hiuc ilia laehrymae—hence these steers. After all, what either Mr. Blaine or Mr. Cleveland did twelve or fifteen years ago is not the supreme issue of the hour, but what either of them would or would not do from one to live years hence under certain circumstances iuyolving considerable responsibility. General Butler has decided to get up a, lit tle presidential circus on his own account. He announces that he will soou be ready logo on the road, aud is busy getting up his posters. They will shortly be ready to put out, and meanwhile he issues what showmen call a “dodger.” We cannot agree with those who regard the candidacy ol General Butler as intended or likely to help the Blaine ticket. In our judg ment he will weaken the Blaine vote, and in our belief General Butler, and Mr. Dana, who is supporiing him very ably and vigorously in the-San, do uot mean to help tbe Blaine crowd to elect their chief. Somebody will be hurt by Butler’s candi dacy, but the public generally will welcome him because he will make the campaign pi quant and lively. He will pretty certainly get badly hurt himself, but that won’t count, as with nothing of Presidential prospect tu lose, nothing ean be lost; but lie may hurt more hopeful candidates, and that is obviously his aim. What is the difference between a monarchy with a king on the throne, and a republic with one party continually in power? Is not the monarchy the better government of the two ? Our only hope is a change. The republican party must step down and out. The republi can party alone does not constitute the l ted States, though it acts as if it did.
