THE SUN. ■ AltrWfcl.l'. HAST fOI'JITf, OA.I Wednesday. Jiw 4. 17. BENSON & McGHI. Editor*. A. G. WcCURRY. Amo cute Editor. WHAT NEXT! The busy era of winter has passed, the warm uavs of summer are upon us. and the time for Sunday schools, college com mencements and the usual summer occur rence* has about arrived. Political mat ters are getting stale. Congress has ham mered a long time at those troublesome ap propriation bills, and Mr. Hayes has veto ed so often that the veto messages are de void of novelty or interest. Matters are thus lingering. All the legislation passed at thia session of Congress of any importance has been vetoed. Everything that looks towards a removal of the array from the polls is ve toed by Mr. Hares. The people arc get ting wearied and restive. We cannot see what ia neat to be done, and sometimes wc get almost to the point where we don't care much what is done. If Congress adjourns without appropriating supplies to run the Government, tne result of this cannot be foretold. It is claimed by those who ought to know that the result will be disastrous to all the industries and general prosper ity of the country. A majority of the people's representatives whose right and province it is to vote supplies, have done r.o. and Mr. Hayes has prevented the bills from becoming laws, simply because they were not exactly in accordance with his notion*. If Congress makes nppropria tions and allows the army to be used in the future to control elections, then we can see no hope for tho future; we have no guarantee fir fair elections, we have no safety againet the worst species of despot ism." Tnese two great evils stare the peo ple broadly and squarely in the face to day, and our judgment is that the problem is the most difficult of solution that wa tver presented to American statesman -.hip. It requires state craft of a high order au 1 patriotism of the purest type. On one side is threatening Sylla. on the other the dangerous whirlpool of Charbydis. During the palmy day l ? of our Republic—during the daya of oiir Washington*, our Jeffer son* and our Polks —an army was not thought of at the poll*. During the three fonrtns of a century that our Republic nourished, going on in a grand career of progress and development, increasing in all great interna! improvements and whiten ing the oceans with the flying sailr of hot commerce, an army at the polls was not dreamed of. American manhood would have blushed at the thought, and the hifh toned and patriotic character of free American sentiment would have repelled with scorn the idea. But to-day. amidst profound peace, while millions are patri otically and faithfully struggling by all the peaceful industries to maintain themselves and recuperate what they have lost, and while they are protected in nil their natur al and political rights by the laws and gov ernments of the slates, we have the la incntablo spectacle presented of a Presi dent who owes his title to the seat he oc cupies to the most glaring fraud, commit tea through the force and power of the bayonet, arbitrarily and for the sake of base party ends, by his every act showing now 11 r'v?*h At stifling its industries, of paralyzing its commerce. - and of jeopardizing tlic inter ests of all the people of this land, rather than sanction laws that will guarantee the rights of freemen and prevent a repetition of glaring frauds that will be purpetrated by the President and his coadjutors on perhaps a grander scale in the future. We say the spectacle is lamentable, be cause it puts the position of a vast number of our people m a false attitude before the eyes ot the civilized world; it implies that the great principles of self government on which ours is based is a failure, and that an armed military horde must be stationed all over the country lo protect our citizens in their rights. Republican governments must stand or fall, by the virtue and intel ligence of their subjects, mid a government like ours can no more stand on bayonets for support than the Atlantic and Pacific could be forced to unite their waters on the lofty summit of the Andes. The theory, then, that armies are neces sary in times of peace to protect is u false theory; it is against reason, against the character of our people, against the expe rience of the past and against everything of truth or ot right, and is only put forth as a pretext by the falling dynasty to en able it to carry out its fell purpose of rul ing or ruining this government. THE SHERMAN BOOH. In the recent Republican Convention to nominate a candidate for governor in Ohio. Foster was nominated on the first ballot over Taft by a small majority. It is gen erally given out in political circles that Foster was the chosen pruh t/r of the Sher man wine of the Republican party, and Taft the favorite of the Grant wing. From this standpoint, the result is a decider] Sherman boom. The administration at Washington are reported as decidedly hap py over the result. Indications point to the fact that the Secretary is gaining ground as a probable Presidential candi date. If Foster entries Ohio at the ap proaching Gubernatorial election Sherman stock will go still higher. This w eek the Democrats trot out their horse, and al though reports seem to indicate differently, we cannot but believe that Hon. A. u. Thurman is the man to bear tin- Democrat ic standard to \ iclory. He w ill accept the nomination, and is certainly llic strongest candidate that can be placed in the field. Whoever is nominated by the Democratic Convention, we look forward to a campaign characterized by an ardor and zeal on both sides rarely witnessed. If Mr. Thurman is made (ho nominee of the Democratic party and bears the standard to victory, bis chances for the Presidency in ISBd are Haltering. Thus it is seen that beneath the turbulent waves ol the Gubernatorial contest may lie the great Presidential stakes, which both sides fully comprehend and will play their hands accordingly. THE QUININE QUESTION. For some time efforts have been made to induce t’ongress to remove the heavy duty that has to be paid on quinine. The duties are enormous, and while proving a great and grievous burden to suffering humanity, help to enrich a few monopolists. The im port duties have been a fostered system oti the part of the Government, but has been all along fought by our best and wisest statesmen. However expedient or inex pedient the policy is and lias proven itself m the pa't. it is universally conceded that the duties ought to he mainly imposed up on articles of luxury, and not on those of absolute necessity. We regret to notice l!:* the Wavs cud Meaj.s Cou.ioittee of the present Congress declined to rtport a bill removing the duty on quinine during the present session. This ought not to have been done. Congress ought to set promptly and vigorously on this measure. Physicians all hear witness to the great ef ficacy of quinine in the practice of their profession. Better tax all things else, the clothes wc wear, the bread and bacon that sustain life, than to continue a heavy duty on this great necessity to those who languish and suffer under the fell hand of disease. DEADENING the timber. The candidates for office in this county frequently attend big meetings on tbe Car olina side of the river and in tbe adjoining counties in Georgia, to *• denden the tim ber. M as the peonle around the border have influence with Hart county folks. Wonder if the people of Brooklyn have any influ ence in Georgia ? EDITORIAL MELANGE. Carnesville is to have anew brick jail, 20x38. Wool is bringing 28 cents per pound in Hawkinsvillc. The Confederate dead at Andersonville are to be removed to Americus. The Constitution savs Athens is to have a Republican paper, edited by a negro. Jackson county is going to move her court house, but has not decided on the place. The President promptly vetoed the Leg islative bill. He can make a veto “ raal slick.” The grand jury of Pulaski county re commends that the county judge establish a chain gang. J. E. Bryant is making a tour through the North to collect money to resurrect the radical party in Georgia. Twelve years ago a man near I.aC.range refused 85 cents for some cotton. He sold it the other day at 11 cents. The Gainesville Eagle prophecies that the Stute will not get a cent out of ex- Treasurer Jones, nor his securities. The Republicans in Ohio have nominated Hon. Charles Foster for Governor. lie favors John Sherman for the Presidency. Several sunstrokes have occurred in the Northern cities already, and Blaine keens his brains on ice and sits on a frozen cab bage leaf. W. I. Shcrrer, near Pineville, exhibited a cotton bloom to the astonished gaze of the editor of the Buena Vista Argus over a week ago. Hill and Blaine had another little spat in the Senate on the 20th ult. Hill just about told Blame that ho lied—that was the plain English of it. Parole, the Kentucky racer, won the Epsom cup in England on the 29th ult. He ran through tbe Brishers’ purses like a heroic dose of Epsom salts. Anew postal law will go into effect on the first of July, which requires post masters to affix due stamps upon all let ters which are not fully paid. The Sparta Ishmaclite is opposed to lo cal legislation and says : “The people of < icorgia are one people, and the laws should he uniform throughout the State. Thos. 11. Taylor, the only survivor of the followers of "Old John Drown,” was Y.. recently for embezzlement. He is Cos years old. Mr. Richard Peters, near Calhoun, had 18 fine merino sheep killed by dogs one day last week. The sheep were worth s*2() apiece. Wonder what the dogs are valued at. The woods ol Missouri arc swarming with locusts. Col. Fred Grant, the war like warrior, should take n battalion of troops and force the maurauders back on their reservation. Bullock, who used to run Georgia and one or two other States, is about to em bark in the grocery business in Elmira. N. Y. Hope his weighs will improve.—De troit Free Press. We have received the Seminary Signal, published at Gainesville, by the young la dies of that institution, I.ikc everything the young ladies put their hands to, it is bright and " so nice.” A number of children at Island Point, At., died on the ItUth ult., from drinking water from a brook in which dead animals hnd been thrown. One family lost live, and the mother is insane. A terrible disease, called contagions pleuro pneumonia exists to nil alarming extent among the cattle in Connecticut, New York. Now Jersey. Pennsylvania, Delaware. Maryland and Virginia. It is feared it will spread over the entire conti nent. It would bean awful calamity. We are told that a big snake —a coach whip—has taken possession of a section of John Kent’s farm. This snake has whip ped off everybody who has attacked him. and is as large as man's leg. and so long, one man says he can’t see both ends at once. Hadn’t llayes better order out the army ?—Crawfordville Democrat. Judge Wocrner, of St. Louis, decided in a case involving a widow’s allowance, that a mulatto is not a negro, and therefore the law making it illegal for whites and blacks to intermarry does not apply to rauluttoes. This places a mulatto in an advantageous position—he can choose his color and marry either a Caucasian or negro without incur ring the displeasure of the law. A mob, at Batavia, 0., took William Allen out of his bed recently, tied a rope around bis neck and threw him over a bridge on the Little Miami River, with the intention of hanging him. Fortunately for William the rope was rotten and broke, dropping him into the water. He escaped in the darkness, though badly bruised. Ho uas accused of inducing another man's wife to elope with him. A young fanner near town, whose cat tle have been dying with the disease now affecting stock in some parts of Talbot, made a post mortem examination of a dead cow the other day. He says he took from the stomach of the eow about two bushels and a half of cotton seed, and that every one of the seed had sprouted. This is a remarkable story, but the young man's neighbor vouches for the truth of it.—Tal botton Standard. The process of tanning human skin lias just been accomplished at a Morocco fac tory at Lynn, Mass. Two skins, about one foot and a half square, of white and black persons who were hanged, were fur nished lor a Boston dissecting room, and (lie process of tanning was remarkably successful, and the skin, as it now appears, resembles a piece of French kid.—Ex. And is this n specimen of Massachusetts refinement and civilization? From such Good Lord deliver ns ! The colored peo ple should take notice, however, that there was no distinction on account of ” race, '•t ier, or previews ft edition,” for the black man's hide was tanned in the same ooze with the white man'*. Thie should be conseling. Absenteeism in congress is becoming a clog to busincm and to democratic ascend ancy. Although member* are paid exor bitantly high salaries—much more than moat of them can earn at home—they leave their posts by dozena, some witli and some without leave. It is stated that nearly sixty democrats are absent. Every absentee should become a marked man. He ia paid to stay in Washington when congress is in session, end he has no rigid to go a fishing or to seek private business until he is released by the adjournment of the session. The evil is one that the peo ple will not overlook.—Constitution. Colquitt In Brooklyn. t'rau/ardrillt Democrat. Governor Colquitt has just returned from Brooklyn. New York, where he addressed s Sunday School Convention. The Atlanta Constitution greatly magnified the impor tance of the visit of the Governor, by stating that he would address an immense assembly of 40.000 people. It now turns out that the Convention, or the Sunday schools of Brooklyn, was a very small af fair. and the Governor had for an audience only 4.000 people, instead of 40.000. Now. it does seem to us to be out of place for a Governor of a great State to leave his office and travel a thousand miles to attend a gathering of this sort—one which was merely local, .and possessed no interest outside of the city in which it w as held. Governor Colquitt should have more re spect for the dignity of the office he holds, than to be running about all over the coun try attending camp-meetings. Sunday scnool celebrations and firemen’s parades. We have not a word to say in disparage ment of either of these worthy objects. They are each good in their place and should receive the proper encouragement of every good citizen in high or low posi tion. But they should be encouraged in the right wav. nnd at the right time. If Governor Colquitt feels that a wide field of usefulness is before him in these gather ings. then he should resign his office and devote himself entirely to this missionary work. The people of Georgia elected him to the highest office in their gift, and nay him a big salary for his services, and he ought to stay at home and attend to the duties of his position. He may think this will make him very popular with the great masses ; he should recollect, however, that there are those who do their own thinking, and when he attempts to ride religion as a hobby to hoodwink the people, lie will disgust instead of Ingratiate. The Democratic Backdown. Gainesville Eagle. “ But they have not done it.” Ah. well, friend, it is all the same, they will. Hayes will veto every measure at the heck of the stalwarts. The Democrats will pass the appropriation hills and come home. The argument by Mr. Stephens, Mr. Sneer and like saviors is; “ Make no disturbance. Assume no responsiblity. Take the issue and go to the country.” Yes. "go to the country.” We went to the country in 187t>. We elected Sam Tilden. and ifayes draws his salary and vetoes every measure looking to the securing of the rights of the people. Go to the country with your " issues ” and ** the country ” surrounded at the I' •i u v- j, % Tvvpuvj iMM.otmtt.i, cd up oy the bayonets your tay-payers keep bright. Much good will your issues do you. It the Democratic party wants to prove itself a boneless, pliant, nerveless, dare nothing sort of inanity, let it do this. We said Fight to Mr. Hayes; Mr. Hayes said Fight to us. "Wc were just fooling,” said we. How pitiable we arc. (oinmiiiiicalcd. Editors Sun : We sec in your last is sue that some of the Fishery Owners of the Johnson & Vickery lishcry. being unac quainted with Mr. Truth, have charged the "buzzards” with breaking the batteau locks and chains, and taking fish from the traps in the night—which we deny; but admit that we did take four fish off the traps for Dr. Mathews, on his day, which we gnve to him when he came down. We did not do as 11. P. did—take them off and sell them for gain, and contributed the proceeds to his own use. A\ e have heard that the Good Book says, all liars shall have their part in the lake that burns with tire and brimstone. Buzzards. Elberton Ftcliiugw.
