Discussing Politics and the Press at the Press Club Dinner. First, it is iny grateful duty to thank you for your very kind and courteous and, I trust, appreciative, reception. I desire to put myself right with the mem bers of the press I see before me, as on different occasions of my life it has been my duty to make some severe strictures upon the conduct of the press. [A Voice. No doubt you did.] I have known yon intimately and well for nearly a quarter of a century. Before that I was so un known that the press took no notice of me. [Laughter.] I have met here half dozen of the old army correspondents and some of my old comrades, who fought side by side with me in the great est war the world ever had seen. 1 o them I point to bear witness that between myself and them, the guardians of the press, the most intimate and kindly relationsever existed. I have found them enterprising, truthful, brave. If I ever had to caution them in any way it was to keep out of the way of danger, and not press forward to the front, where the bursting shell or the minie ball might interrupt their pencils. To them I appeal—to the worldngtnen of the press —for the sentiments that have passed from them to me, and from to me, them at this moment come welling up to my remembrance of the old days of the war. Amid the vicissitudes of politics, where we had to change relations—for I holi to the high est degree to the apothegm of Burke. When parties change their principles, patriots change their party” [applause] —so sometimes I come, unwittingly, perhaps, and not through any desire of my own, to criticise the conduct of my friends of the press. I have always friends among the work ing members of the press—the reporters —the men that stand between the public and that most inscrutable of all institu tions, the editorial room. [Laughter.] In th.fhundreds, I may say, of pilgrim ages that I have made in the West, in the Middle States, and in the Northarn States, in the various political campaigns in which I have engaged, I have always found a place in my car for the represen tatives of the press, and a place in heart for their honesty and probity. But alas! the night editors [laughter] the men that I suppose in the course of their duty have to read wha? reporters have sup plied, who take it and attempt to make English of it according to their under standing—God help them! what a task that was to them, aid what disappoint ment to me! [Laughter.] I see here a company different in many respects from that I had the honor to address last night in the place where I now stand. There is a distinction which is in favor of the youth and energy and intelligence and viyacity which have passed away from age. I must adopt the witticism, if any may be permitted, to give credit where it is due, of one of your members, who said that last night I ad dressed the Pharisees, and to-night I ad dress the Scribes. [Laughter.] Now, gentlemen, the toast which you hare given me has a connection with the politics of the press.-That is a subject for most curious study, which I have had no opportunity to give it, since I made my decision to be here to-night, and therefore, if lam crude in what I have to say, your intelligence and knowledge, [am sure, will correct me. It is one of tiie most curious arfd wonderful problems in the history of the republic. Let me go back for a Aoment to thq days when the press and politics came into collision in the days of the elder Adams, when to curb the press the alien and sedition laws were passed, when Duane and the Era suffered administrative and federal per secution. In the battle between the ad ministrative power of the federal govern ment and the press the federal govern ment went under, and the press came out on top, and John Adams h*d but a single term of office. At that time, too, I must remember that the public men of the day, instead of addressing themselves to the public through the press, cliosejto express themselves to the public through pamphlets. The pamphlet was the weapon of the politician of those days of Thomas Jefferson, and not the columns of the newspaper. I need only to call your attention to the famous pamphlet of Hamilton, when he was accused of that which now would make many a para graph, to whi:h the report would lend “obliteration’s artful aid,” to make it readable in the head lines, at least. Hamilton defended himself from the charge by a manly confession of the part of it that was true that did not effect his honor. But that which did affect his honor, he proved beyond peradventure was not true. Aud so the war of pam phlets, went on which the public men used either for attack or defence. Afterward the press gradually assum ed the importance which has been grow ing since. The first and best organiza tion of the press in favor of the adminis tration was under the administration of Andrew Jackson, when the Globe be came the well-recognized organ of the government, and members of the cabi net wrote the editorials, showing what was to be the fiat of the administration. In a few days after this appeared in the Globe it was a sort of experiment upon the feelings of the people. Ah then they understood well how to manage the press. The Globe put out a proposition that was to be made the subject of ad ministrative action. Every party organ —and they took care then to have post masters who owned newspapers—-every party organ copied the article and made comments upon it, and the postmasters generally favored the -proposition Then, afterward, these comments were copied in the local papers and recopied in the Globe as an expression of the will of the people upon the measure. [Laugh ter.] In that day no office seeker thought his papers complete for the pres entation to the president or the depart ments without they contained a receipt in full for a year’s subscription to the Globe. That was the time when the pat ronage of the general government was overshadowing, although it was hat a penny in hand to what it has now. What broke into that? It was the patron age of the great state of New York, which became of more consequence to its citizens than the patronage of the fed eral government, and it was better to be Port Warden of a great city of New York than to be collector. That broke up the party organ, and since that time there has been no regular organ of the federal government. We have regidar organs of the railroad interest, but they do not count in this discussion. From that day the press has sprung away from the organic character, and the metropolitan press of New York has. become a dominant power in politics so far as the press can be a dominant power. It might be a dominant power to any ex tent, in my judgment, if it would do one or two things. It should discuss *great principles in short paragraphs, and leave out personal abuse as not convincing argument. [Applause.] The old days of long prosy editorials have gone by. Nobody reads them. People read the telegraph dispatches and the short notes of the reporter at the head of the report, and the rest of the paper, except, per haps, the stock market reports, go for nothing. Such has been the connection of the press with politics, hurriedly and imper fectly sketched, but I believe, truly sketched. Now comes the connection of the press of to-day with politics. It is a great power in this regard, and with your busy pens what the politician says is brought before the whole people to be weighed and judged. I have seen men in Congress looking up in the midst of their speeches to the reporter's gallery to see in the faces of the men there what would be the effect of their speeches upon the public. Now, gentlemen, the destiny of the people of this country is in your hands in this regard. In the olden time it was said: “Let me make the songs of a country, and I care not who makes the laws.” We can see the force of this when we remember that one song! “Lillibulero,” dethroned a monarch. But we have changed all that. The sentiment now is: “The press makes the law of the land, for no law of the land is made against tiie united voice of the press, as it cannot be enforced.” Now I say—l may not say “brethren,” but I can say fellow citizens”—having a great giant’s power, used it like a giant, and see to it that the laws which you make—for they come from your toil—are just and true to the great body of the people. Not for the dilettanti on the one sipe, or for the tramp on the other, but for the workingmen of the nation, the men of industry and euterprise of the nation. Let them be just laws, and this country will go on in its career of glory, honor and prosperity that shall make it the model country of the world, with true liberty, uuder law guided by prin ciple and civilization and high honor and religion.” EXCURSION INCIDENTS. How a Body of Politicians Were Reviv ed and Discovered Something Valuable. The Tammany excursion to the late state convention at Buffalo were surpris ed on their return trip last Friday by the introduction into their midst of two at tractive looking cases marked in a bold, running hand, “Tippecanoe.” This la conic inscription somewhat troubled the placid breasts of the leading district lead ers, who were on the alert to capture the scalps of lagging County delegates, in retaliation for their appropriating Tam many’s thunder. As the train steamed out of the Roches ter depot, a young man gently touched the shoulder of Hon. John Kelly, and gesticulated in the direction of the case* aforesaid. Mr. Kelly at once took in the situation, and, linking the arm of the young man, went forth to investigate the secret of of the mystierous boxes. “Tippecanoe!” exclaimed the well known leader. “Why, I knew him and Tyler, too.” “Yes,” ejaculated delegate Plunkett, “we were bosom friends. Tip’ was a good old soul, and so was Tyler, too.” These bursts of extempore wit had the effect of bringing the different delegates to their feet, and or.e and all let loose their fund of pungeney upon the “Tippe canoe” cases. “Let’s open them?” suggested a dele gate ; and in the space of 57 and one-half second the contents of the cases were undergoing critical analysis, when it was found that “Tippecanoe” wa* a prepara tion far superior to any bitters now, or ever known to the public. As the dele gates slaked their assimilated thirsts, they one and all praised “Tippecanoe” and Tyler, too. while complimentary remarks were made by such adepts as the Hon. John Kelly, George W. Plunkett, Wil liam H. Ilullihan, Senator Treanor, and many others. It was generally conced ed that “Tippecanoe” had the effect of infusing new life and energy in the ranks of the assembled warriors and clearing their intellects after the very severe phy sical and mental strain incident to the convention, so that while it was consid ered at first simply a palatable drink, it proved to be a preparation which not on ly refreshed, but was unquestionably the best remedy known for dyspepsia, rnal asslmllation of foot!, stomach disorders, general functional derangements, consti pation, tired feelings, malaria, blood dis orders, skin eruptions, loss of energy, feeble appetite, bilious headache, etc. The combination of a delicious drink with a wonderfully efficient remedy is as grat ifying as it is rare. The above truthful incident, regarding the new preparation which is being in troduced to the public, and is certain to supercede all “bitters,” is taken from the New York Standard of a recent issue. “Tippecanoe” is prepared by Mr. 11. H. Warnei, of Rochester, N. Y., who is known to every man, woman and child in the land as proprietor of Warner’s Safe Cure, better known as Warner’s Safe Kidney and Liver Cure. In addi tion also to “Tippecanoe,” Mr. Warner is just introducing a Safe Rheumatic Cure which he personally guarantees to cure ninety-live per cent, of all rheumatic affections. The popularity of the Safe Cure, together with the high personal standing of Mr. Warner, make this the most complete and responsible guarantee possible. The peculiar nainfe of “Tippe canoe” is, as we learn, adopted to pre vent the fraudulent imitations which al ways follow meritorious articles. Its principal ingredients were used by the Harrison family in those early days and became famous for efficiency at that time. The terrible revelations made by modern health statistics indicate that something must be done to check the ravages of dis ease and stop untimely deaths. Thous ands of persons are dying annually from no other cause than thoughtless neglet. The slight symptoms of uneasiness, head aches, constipation, stomach derange ments, mal-assimilation of food and other similar troubles are often considered of too little importance to require attention or treatment. They are therefore per mitted to continue until the health is broken, the constitution wrecked and the life exhausted, when by a timely use of the right remedy health might be secur ed and life prolonged. JUBAL EARLY. How He Would Practice Conscription. From Tho. New York Sun. Old Jubal Earl/ is a character in Vir ginia. lie is drawn up into a hard knot with rheumatism, and has a face like a hickory nut. His voice is pitched on a very high key, and he is a compound of shrewdness and sarcasm >iu equal parts. He was strongly opposed secession at the beginning of the war, although he fought valiantly when lighting was inevitable. In the Virginia convention of 1861 he attacked the conduct of South Carolina bitterly. After the war had actually begun, he had in his brigade a South Carolina regiment. It was observed that Jubal was sure to put that regiment in the most ticklish place when the brigade was under fire. During one of the battles around Richmond Early’s brigade was ordered to the front and, as usual, Early made the South Carolina fellows head the column, squeaking out at the top of his voice, as he rode up to them, “Yes, I’ll send you to the front, and I’ll keep you theie too. You got us into this fix, and, d—n you, you’ve got to get us out.” During the war he went to church only once, and his experience then was not such as to encourage him to go again. It was in the winter of 1864, when the States were agita ting the expendiency of a conscription. Gen. Early was one of the most ardent advocates of it. He talked conscription in season and out of season, and wanted to conscript everything. One Sunday morning, to the amazement of his staff, he proposed that they should ride over to a neighboring church and hear the ser mon. The officers were nearly paralyzed at the proposition, but, of course, con sented promptly. The country congre gation was astonished at seeing General Early and his entire staff march solemn ly into the church and take their seats in the front pews. As soon as old Jubal settled himself he laid his head back and lapsed into a comfortable nap. The clergyman took for his subject the testi mony of the truths of Christianity. After preaching an hour or tw’O, he asked: “What would you say, my brethren, if the dead of all times and nations and ages should pass in a solemn review before you? What would be your feel ings at seeing this vast and countless multitude from the grave? What would you do with all this army of men of grades, all professions, all of every kind before you? I repeat,” with a whack on the desk, “what would you do?” “Do?” brawled Jubal, suddenly aroused from his nap, “I’d conscript eyery one of them!” A roar went up from the congrega tion and Jubal made a bee line for the door. A Stalwart Old Enmy. One of the toughest old adversaries of human comfort, and most difficult to ex terminate, is rheumatism. Many mid dle-aged people suffer torture with it, and the old folks who have it find it the pest of their lives. The case of a vener able lady of Lewistown, Mass., is of great interest to the victims of this tough old enemy. M.m. Swettsavs: “I have been using Perky Davis’s Pain Killer for about eight years. As soon as I ap ply Pain Killer I have almost immediate relief from pain.” The latest news from Africa is that the Zulu King has the croup; this news is doubted by many, but notwithstanding, the friends of the king have sent him a case of Dr. Bull’s Cough Syrup and con sequently know his cure is certain.

According to the New' York Tribune, there are only six distilleries of rum in the country and all six are in Massachu setts. Of nearly half a million gallons of rum exported last year the greater part went to Africa. Massachusetts’ love for the negro in life, and for his hide after death, is manifested in many striking w-ays. Isn’t that a magnanimous proposition of an Englishman, that France, after whipping China and incurring immense expense iff so doing, shall accept the ar bitration of the European powers In fix ing the terms of peace? Not so does Bri tain settle after her conquests, as her possessions all over the world, acquired by force of arms and money, abundantly testify. Mohammedan people in Africa, Asia and Europe are wild and restless in view of the success of El Mahdi. An uprising in fayor of the pretender, in all Moham medan countries, is looked upon as quite probable by those who are best acquaint ed with the natives of such countries. Such an event would result in changing the map of more than one country in both Africa and Europe. Georgia’s cotton factories were under investigation before Senator Blair’s com mittee in Augusta last week, and wit nesses testified that those in Augusta em ploy 4,000 opera .ires, mostly women and children. Some factories yielded *2O per cent, dividends' until 1873, and since that time the average has been 8 per cent. The goods are shipped to Boston and to Africa and China. The operatives go to work at 6 a. m., work eleven hours a day, and are paid an average of eighty cents a day. “JAPS” INSTEAD OF CHINESE. The Chinese exclusion act seems to have given an impulse to immigration from Japan. More Japanese are daily seen on our streets, though owing to their ready adaptability to our diess and man ners the increase has not been generally noted. They are a desirable class of ser vants and workingmen, being quite in genious and teachable, and if there is really a scarcity of labor among the grape growers and orchardists of California a means is here offered to supply the want without danger to the labor market. There must, however, be gome aid to the immigration, or at least, some organized encouragement which will bring them in such numbers as may be needed. The Japanese have none of the objectionable qualities of the Chinese. They readily adopt our customs and gradually lose their identity in the mass of our people. No Japanese quarter could ever grow up in any city to disgust with its squalor, or to lend its aid and countenance not mere ly to its own special vices, but to those of a class of degraded w’hites who are only too glad to take advantage of the conceal ment thus afforded. They are neat and handy, and therefore much sought after for servants. For all kinds of light work, of which there is abundance in the fields and orchards of this state, they would prove useful. The boys and young men of the city might supply the lack, but it is hopeless to expect that they will im prove the opportunity. While there is reason to believe that we can get sufficient number of the kind of laborers we w ant from Japan, there is no fear that the im migration would prove excessive. The population is only 37,000,000, and the common people being in fair circumstan ces, only a small proportion care to leave their homes. —San Francisco Chronicle. Polishing the Wrong End. Many men daily polish their hair, ex cept to harrow it casually with brush and comb, or submit it to the paralyzing attentions of the average barber. What happens? Why, this: From negleet, mental axiet}', or any of a score of causes, the hair turns prematurely gray and be gins to fall out.

The Athens Banner-Watchman says: “Miss Sallie Cook, of Jasper who has been living with Mrs. King for several months, was courted and won by Mr. Henderson Smith, and married to him on Sunday last, at the residence of Mrs. G. W. King, by the Rev. T. A. Harris. Mrs. King, with her well-known hospit ality, had thrown open her entire house, prepared for the ceremony, and was rea dy to receive the guests of the occasion; but Miss Sadie preferred the big road at the well-known race track at Greer’s lane. The groom had no objection what place lie married at so he got Miss Sajlie. So they were married in the big road, notwithstanding a heavy rain was fall ing, much to the disgust of Mrs. King, and the spectators, who think this quite an innovation of Clarke county mar riages.”
