Americus, Ga., Juno 4, 1891. Ai.i, the leading “politicians" now take the so called agricultural “organs That makes thorn sftlid with the “o gans.” . O’Mali.ky says ho cannot get juslict in New Orleans. Did the citizens’ com mtttee use all their ammunition on the Mattates? IT in to bo sincerely hoped that the south will make more rapid and substan tial progress with the Jeff Davis monu ment than New York has with the Grant monument. Canada is putting In some more time on the modus vlvcndi. If the fish man age to survivo these frequent applica- tions-of modus vivendi they are pretty lucky suckers. Cincinnati tins abolished Sunday base ball, but she still clings to her Sunday beer. Probably the doing away with the lesser evil was the first stop in her march toward a general moral reform. “It is a girl, and it Is not iikely to ever kick a job press," is the way the editor of an Ohio newspaper announces the arrival of a stranger at bis house. No, we guess uot; she will coniine her kicking to the beaux. An unknown artist emits tho follow lng: “The newspaper editor who sue* ceeds In pleasing everybody will not need any wings In tho next world. lie will be carried around by the other good angols and exhibited as a curiosity.” And as being tho prize fool for ever having attempted it. Tuekk Is pertinence as well as poetic justice in tho Bcvcro remark of Corpl. Tanner that to permit jobbory to go on in the pension bureau Is all wrong. The Hon. James Tanner is now in a position to suggest to the administration that the move from the frying-pan into the tire Is not an Improvement. Decidkdi.v the breeziest request lately heard of was that of a Massachusetts rough, who had killed a man at Lynn, and then announced Ills desire to act as one of the pall-bearers. Naturally tho request was refused. Had he proflercd his services to officiate in the capacity of liquidator of the funeral expenses pos sibly his overtures might have received more attention. Tub wires are burdened with the thrilling announcement that our revenue eutter, the Rush, has been ordered to Behring Sea. Well, as the Rush could, with difficulty, manage to whip one Canadian sealer, and as there are a hundred of them there, backed by Groat Britain's handsome squadron at Van couver's, it does not oceur to tho reader that war is yet ready to break loose. Vanderbilt, the railroad millionaire, Baa a magnificent farm and winter resi dence In North Carolina, and he has just ereoted on his place a ehloksn house which cost 913,000. This shows that Mr. Vanderbilt is not entirely ignorant of the peculiarities of tho North Caro lina negro, and determined that his ehicken bouse should be secure. The building, no doubt, was constructed on 'the jail plan, so that it would be impos sible for the chicken to get out or the negro to get In. In the state of Maine, the land of Tom Reed, steady habits and paregoric drunks, train robbing has not yet be come an art such as it is in the west. It is true that a short time ago a train was stopped by a number of men amid a great firing of pistols but after all the fuss was over it was discovered that no one bad been hurt or robbed. Go west, ye tenderfeet of Maine and take a few lessons from Bunch aud other exporta. Toe Chicago Inter-Ocean, comment ing on the report that Gor. Hill, of New Tork, is trying a new hair restorer, says: *'He may be bald himself, but he ap pears to have the faculty of raising other people’s hair, judging from the number of political scalps at his belt." If the Inter-Ocean will observe the scalps closely it will discover that they were stripped from the heads of his re publican opponents. Hill's political record shows that every time the repub- lleana tried the game of putting him in a hole he took a scalp. Recently the governor of Indiana gave rather a deserved rebuke to the father of a Kentucky girl who wanted her arrested and bound over to the offi cer* of Kentucky on a requisition, aim- ply because she bad married against his wishes. Very justly he said that the ease seemed somewhat strange that a father should seek to make his own daughter afelou merely because of natural desire to marry according to the dictates of her own preference. This the governor thought manifested any thing baton admirable spirit on the part of* parent. And the governor was un deniably right Probably it waa just sucii arbitrary conduct on tho part of her father that forced tho girl to wed clandestinely. mj-: v_ SIMPLY 8ACBELIGIOUS. Rev. Dr. J. D. Fulton, of Cincinnati, preached a sensational sermon last Sun day, in which politics cropped out as thick as willows on a sand hank. Ho was careful to allude to James G. Blaine in such a way as to provoke applause, and the response that came almost shook the chandaliers loose. The doc tor did not consider it necessary to speak of Jesus Christ, in which regard ho showed commendable discretion, since the sacrilege of mentioning the Savior in connection with r» publicans would have been noticed and 1 perhaps resented, even by a Cincinnati congre gation. But toward tho olose of the service it began to dawn upon the Doctor that he had forgotten something, viz: the Al mighty; and in his closing prayer he made the followingamendc: peur Lord, if we have sal I anything which we should have left unsaid please forgive us. If we have said anything worthy of hooking on to, please hook on to It. The old-time abolitionist who demand ed an “anti-slavery god,” may no longer bear the palm of republican impiety. They are not in it with the Rev. Dr. Fulton. Neither are the Ilev. Sam Jones and his imitators. We will back tho paragraph quoted against the most start ling expressions of the class of persons who address the Creator as if lie were a boon companion. The “God and Morality” party has need of such clerical partisans. They are in full accord witli the spirit in which the party was born and on which it has fed from the first. Jehovah him self is liable to censure if he differs with it. While The Timkh-Recordkr cannot go so far as to say that all the impiety in tho world is to be found in the ranks of the g. o. p, it must condemn such talk aa the above. A preacher who can so talk evidently has little respect for his maker, and is a sensational preach- THE AMERICUS DAILY TIMES-RECORDER: THURSDAY, JUNE 4, 1891. THE CONTEST IN OHIO. The Cincinnati Enquirer and the gang of ward toughs that it represents are making as bitter a war against Gov. Campbell as they did against Allen G. Thurman, but the better element of the democratic party in Ohio is supporting Campbell and tbe chances are the trick sters and the traders will be sent to the or for revenue only. To address God as If He wore a bar room bum or a street loafer is certainly no badge of Christianity. It is tile reverse. nits THEM TO THE IIU'SII, The school girl who solocted for a composition the subject, “Behind tho Clouds tile Starlight Lurks,” displayed a knowledge of astronomy and tho prop er use of words. Tho starlight lurks behind the clouds, like a wild beast In its lair, just ready to pounce upon a fellow who is in the act of kissing his best girl. The stairy constellation, the “Great Bear,” it appears, has no other object In life but to keep his eyes open, and just at the critical moment oxposo tho ac tlons of lovers. And when lovers liug each other the “Great Boar” has been known to go wild with joy, and make a lunge at “Venus” for the purpose of giving her a hug, thus endangering the autonomy of the stars and exciting the jealousy of ‘Mercury." This lurking disposition of the stars has thus been discovered by a sweet glrl- gradiiato, and the wisdom of [tho as tronomers has boon put to the blush. Two of the largest and most influential counties in the state have already de clared for Campbell, and his friends are more hopeful now of his rcnomlnatlon than they lmvo ever been. It looks now* as though Gov. Campbell would be op- IKised in the convention by the Hon. Lawrence O'Neal, one of the leading democrats of the state and a gentlemen worthy in every way to fill the guberna torial chair, hut lie is not as strong in the rural districts as Campbell, and it is doubtful whether he will be able to get the nomination. After all, howover, it does not matter much who is the nominee; harmony is the all important thing, and this is what the leaders In the state are aiming at. With cither Campbell or O'Neal at the head of the ticket, and tariff reform as the issue, the democrats, if they are united this fail, will givo McKinley a thorough drubbing and carry Ohio, which state is the outpost of the repub lican party. If tbe democrats of Ohio elect their governor in November next victory in 1892 is almost certain, as the defeat of McKinley will be sure to demoralize and rout the ranks of the high taxes. A Neiihaska farmer lately drowned himself in his wife's rain-water barrel because his hired man hitched up the old blind horse on the near instead of the off side. We heartily commend that man's sedso. Some men would have sworn at the man, jawed the dog and kicked the wife out of doors. Hit. GOULD'S CANDOR. Away back as far as October 6,1890, soon alter the McKinley bill was enact ed, Mr. Gould said: I cannot see that the new tariff of itself will be a disadvantage to the coun try. If it increases the cost of some articles, people will simply use less of them. Taka wool, for Instance, if tbe tariff on wool makes elothlng coat more, a poraon will get along with one cult where ho would otherwise have two." Now that waa candor for you. Mr. Gould, with his one hundred and fifty millions, of courie, doesn't see or care, perhaps, whether the poor man has one •uitornone. If the republican party was equally as candid, and would hon estly confess that it docs not care a continental for tho workingman, the poor consumer, this class of deceived republican voters would soon learn where tlioir interests lie. Perhaps they will “tumble to tho racket” by Novem ber Utb,'92. Ditunu the month of April 85,000 immigrants, exclusive of those from Canada aud Mexico, arrived in the United States, the humber for the cor responding month of last year being 04,212. It is thought that the May to tals wili exceed 100,000. This country was recently tried at tbe bar of European opinion, and found guilty on every ac count The constitution was adjudged defective, the people were considered lawless and but partially civilized, and It was agreed that the American repub lic had been a conspicuous failure. Nevertheless only a wall around Europe to keep them in, and another around America to keep them out, would pre vent us from receiving 800,000 or 1,000,- 000 foreigners this year. A great num ber, probably half of these people, will find homes in states almost as thickly populated as those they left. So there is something besides the new country theory to draw them. When strangers persist in crowding into Uncle Sam's kitchen in this wholesale manner, it looks a* If be were not such a failure as a housekeeper after all. Amo* Cummings says: “It Gorman will keep hit mouth shut and stand on hie own record hit ’chances are mighty good.” Of course we ail have our pref erences. And yet, Senator Gorman would carry the democratic banner with honor to Ids party and to tho nation. m POWDER BEflLL & OAKLEY, PROFESSIONAL CARDS' 313 LAMAR STREET, Leading Off Goods House ■OFFER' T. e KLUTTZ, Architect and Superintendent, Americas, Georgia.
