“Innocuous desuetude."
Dona it City has only three grades «f
society, according to a recent arrival
from the West. The first, or “aristocra
cy," is composed of those who put out
their washing. The “mlddlo class"
does its own washing, and the “lowest
class” la that which takes in washing.
This is the most simplo and complete
distinction yet known, only it leaves one
large olass unaccounted for—those who
think washing an uuneccessary luxury.

Swcx Mr. Ingalls line become an hon
est farmer he li tolling some ugly truths
about the party in which he was lately a
bright and shining light. lie says that
the Republican party’s solicitude about
negro suffrage was purely for political
purposes, and that its onslaughts on the
South were merely for effect, to keep
the Republicans from dividtug and to
keep the West and Soutii from unltiug
politically. The statement, except as
coming from him, will hardly surprise
any one.
PitoFEsson Fatten, of Yale Collego,
baa figured it out by careful mathemati
cal calculation that in 181M1 will ooour
the second coming of Christ. It has
, always boon taught in the Sunday
sohools heretofore, that tuture events
were revealed only through prophecy of
Inspired men, but now the professors of
colleges figure them out by conic sec

and Isalh and Ezekiel will have to take
back seats, and give Prophet Fatten tho
floor for at least eight years.

other debts of tlie company now exist
ing, to more than doublu the capital.
Tills fact, Mr. Smith alleges, will low
er the value of his property as a share
holder, if it does not entirely destroy it,
and possibly render him individually li
able at least to a law suit for his pro rata
share of tlie debts of tlie company. Tlie
contemplated action of tbo railroad, he
claims, will render its charter liable to
forfeiture.
The complainant alleges that lie has
demanded of tlie board of directors that
tlioy should not in any wny dispose of
the bonds or creato any • debt, hut
should cancel tlie sanio, as they are a
cloud on tbo title of tho company, but
tlioy have refused to comply with his
demand.
Judge Falligant, after hearing tho pe
tition read, passed an order requiring
tho Central Railroad and Banking Com
pany and the Central Trust Company of
Now York to show cause at 10 o'clock
on April 25, why the injunction should
not bo granted as prayeii for.
The mortgage complained of was exe
cuted April 1, 1800, by President Alex-
andcr and Casliior Cunningham. It was
given on that portion of the road from
Savannah to Atlanta and from Cordon to

BLAINJC AS A CANDIDATE.
The Times-RecoBDKH has always
boasted of tho intelligence of all its
readers; but it seems that some mental
reservation will need to bo exercised
hereafter in speaking of the attainments
of some few of them.
Recognizing the ability of Mr. Blaine,
and the greater credit it would he to the
country to have him for president, if by
any mishap the Republicans won In
1802, The Tiukh-Recobdeh nominated
him as the Republican candidate, “sub
ject to the action of the Democratic party
at the polls." This was misconstrued
by tho aforesaid solons into the putting
up of Mr. Ulalno for the Democratic
nomination’suhject to lbs action of the
Democratic convention.
All candidates of either party aro sub
ject to the action of the other party at
tho polls; and In suggesting Mr, Blaine’s
name, The Tiueh-Kecoiiiikh merely
stated that If the Democracy failed to
elect their own candidate in 181)2, the
next best that could happen to the
country would be that Mr. Blaino be the
man, lather than Harrison, Alger, Sher
man, or such narrow minded and par
tisan politicians ns they are.
Tiik Times-Recomieii wants any de
cent Democrat in preference to any Re
publican, but if we must have a Repub
lican let it he Blaine.

HAKRIKON AS AN OBATOK.
Gen. Harrison baa evidently started
upon bis journey with the intention of
doing his full duty as an orator. At
every atop of the presidential train there
is a speech from the platform of the gor
geous Vacuna At the present rate of
delivery the rhetoric of the entire trip
of nine thousand and fifty miles will
amount to at lease thrice the volume of
all the previous speeches, published let
ters, and state papers of Benjamin Har
rison since he entered public life.
But what speeches thay are, thus far!
It Is a pleasure to read them. Nothing
short of tlie extreme of partisan unfair
ness can find in tlie little Pullman ora
tions anything to ridicule or despise.
Candor compels tlin statement that at
tlie tail end of the Vacuna, surrounded
by tlie hundreds and thousands of ids
fellow citizens, who throng to inspect
the wonders of the presidential train,
and to gaze upon the nation's chief mag
istrate, Gen. Harrison is at liis
very best. Whether prepared care
fully in advance, or extemporaneously
excogitated, his occasional remarks
along tlie route have been nearly fault
less. Modest in tone, Interesting in mat
ter local in their application while gen
eral in their character, lively without
being sensational, moderate without be
ing commonplace, full of ideas, consist
ent without being monotonous, exoei-
lently and often eloquently expressed,
they deserve recognition by political
friends and enemies alike as models of
Pullman platform oratory.
It is as if Gen. Harrison had embraced
the present opportunity to exhibit hlm-
selt and the capabilities of his intellect
to the people of the United States in a
now aspect. Other presidents before
him have tried the samo experiment, in
the same way. Few, if any, of the navi-
gators of the great political circle have
succeeded so well as Gen. Harrison.—

CHECK YOU It DAISY
Talk about Koch, of Berlin, and his
lymph, why, a greater than he is Koch,
of Harlem, who gives you a check for
your baby while you wnnder through
Ids store in searcii of tlie latest spring
novoltios.
Harlem lias bounded conspieuousiy
to tho front, has solved tho greatest
puzzle of modern civilization—namely,
What to do with the baby when you go
shopping. No problem over wrenched
tlie soul of woman as that one has.
Squaring tho circle, perpetual motion
and the other heartrending enigmas
which havo come tramping through tho
corridors of time are nothing in compar
ison.
Sparing garments must be had, even
if the heavens fall, and the baby can't
be left alone. This “must" and this
can’t” have been in deadly feud for
ages, and no giant intellect have ever
arisen with the noble mission of hitoh-
ing the two into a double team like a
conple of thoroughbreds. But now Har
lem forges ahead with the cry of
“Eureka!” on her lips. You take your
baby with you, deposit the sweet fac
simile in an .ante-chamber, receive a
check therefor, buy your ribbons and
yonrglnghnms undisturbed by anxiety,
and when your purchases are made give
up your check, recelvo your baby and
go out into the cold world with your lit
tio one plus a now gown.
There seems to be no limit to human
possibilities, but wo doff our hat to Har
lem and admit that it is the paradise for
the newly married.—New York Herald.
