The Valdosta Times comes to
ns enlarged and improved with
new dress of type. It is now
printed on a power press and looks
as neat and pretty as a girl of
“sweet sixteen.” Being a good
paper, we are pleased to see these
evidences of its prosperity.
The reduction of Cleveland’s
192,000 plurality in New York ap
pears to afford the Blaine organs
some consolation. Tboy are not as
well pleased, however, with the
foot that he had 28,000 more votes
at the late election than be did
when be had the 192,000 plurality,
Speaker Carlisle, referring to the
probability of tariff legislation dun
ing the present session of congress
takes very conservative and sen.
sible ground. He is opposed to
reopening the question because it
could not be satisfactorily dispos.
ed of now; besides the people have
eleoted a new congress whose
province it is to deal witli such Im
portent matters.
The republicans have found a
new consolation, which we sincere,
ly hope will reconcile them to life
yet a little longer. They now de
clare that Blaine was the only man
they oould have nominated who
could have carried Ohio. The
democrats, therefore, must make
up their minds to the conviction
that their victory is not as great as
. it might have been.
“MELAKCHOLY MIRTH.”
Under this appropriate title Ed
itor Glessner, formerly of the Clin
ton (III.) Register and now of the
Amcricus (Ga.) Rkcokdib, admin
istsrs a large dose of ipecac and
molasses to his quondam neighbor,
Richard Butler, of the Clinton
Publio. Mr. Butler is also post
master. Hence theso tears ! Mr.
GleBsner says that aftor twenty-
four years’ experience lie knows
what defeat means, and how his
Republican friends in Illinois feel,
and says, “it makes ns feel good,
all over.” Wo arc glad to sec par
tisan editors happy by turns. Poor
fellows, it is tbc best they can do.
Only nonpartisan papers are happy
all the time.—Anna (Ill.) Talk.
Tbc New York Evening Post
says : “Thero has been a great deal
of cheap talk about Cleveland’s
losing the confidence of the people
of his own Stato because his ma
jority of 192,000 in 1882 was cut
down to a plurality of 1,100 in 1881.
One simple fact disposes of the as
sertion. Cleveland's total vote
when bo ran for govornor and liis
great majority, was 535,318. His
total vote this year was 553,109
He has held his voto of two years
ago and has polled 21,851 votes
more. He has polled 28,658 more
votes than Hancock had and 42,220
more than Tildcn had. What gave
him bis great majority in 1882 was
the refusal of thousands of repub
licans to vote for Folgcr. Blaine’s
V vote in the Stato outsido tbc city
was 2,000 behind Garfield's. In
the city be gained 8,000 on Gar
field."
THE FOLLY OF THU LIE.
It seems to us that even one view
of the lie so often repeated by cer
tain classes at the North that the
colored race in the South are mis
treated should satisfy fair minded
men as to its real character—that
is, that the colored people remain
in the South.
Why do the Irish migrate from
their native land in such numbers!
They love tbeir fatherland with a
love excelled by no other people on
earth, certainly not exceeded by
the Africans, who for generations
were slaves. It is not because the
Irish are oppressed and driven by
this oppression from the land they
love so well f No doubt of it. Now,
if the colored people in tbc South
deemed themselves oppressed,
would they not go somewhere else f
The world is open to them. But
they will not go even to tbe land of
their pretended friends who are so
loud-mouthed in tbeir professions
of regard for them. Why is this ?
Certainly it is because they feel
that they arc well-off fcgre, that
they arc among their best friends,
and consequently they remain
whero their inclinations and tbeir
interests are. This “mistreating
the negro” talk is bosh and slander.

OLD ESTABLISHED MERCANTILE HOUSES, WHOSE SOLVENCY WAS
SUPPOSED TO BE FOUNDED ON INDEBTRUCTABLE ROCKS OF
UNLIMITED CAPATAL AND UNQUESTIONABLE CREDIT,
Tottered and Fell in a Day!
Specially was this true of many large and celebrated Clothing
manufacturers who had made up numerous stocks from materi
als bought on credit. These manufacturers placed their faith
on lively and profitable September trade, absolutely relying on
it for funds to meet their maturing paper, which they had given
for piece goods, but the trade did not come, the continuous
warm weather and no customers cooked their “goose,” and there
was nothing left for them to do but to fail and turn their goods
over to an Assignee. It was bad for them, but it is in your
power to make it good for you, for, as usual, when good goods
are to be sacrificed we are always on hand. Our Mr. Joe
Waxelbaum was there, and notwithstanding the fact that we
were already prepared with a stock of Seventy-Five Thousand
Dollars, we bought Thirty-Three Thousand more in Boys, Chil
drens and Men's Clothing, Dry Goods, Dress Goods, Fancy
Goods, Corsets, etc., at prices varying from SO to 60 per cent,
of the actual value. Promptly at 8 o’clock
and itflwill be to the interest of every one in this city or country
to be on hand, for at the prices we propose selling these goods
you were never offered them in tlj(g, history ol the dry goods,
clothing, boot and shoe trade.
