Take the pension sharks out of the
republican party and what a largo hole
would bo left in it!
Corrupt politics always comes high,
but the price Philadelphia Is paying is
positively exorbitant.
The courts of Connecticut aro making
as eminent a success in not electing a
governor as did the legislature.
Our reciprocity treaties seem to have
been sentenced to death by electrocu
tion, from the speed they make.
“Hion prices and low wages.” That
will ho tbo republican platform next
year if it truly reflects the party policy.
Ik working as it never worked before
the supremo court of the United States
has solved the problem of its crowded
docket.
Perspiration and piety make a pret
ty fair alliteration, but it is not any
easy matter to' put them together in
practice.
Tre farmers in politics may not know
much about policlcal economy, hut they
aro finding out how a -protective tariff
hurts them.

The famous remark concerning the
weather, which Brother Beecher once
made in opening a sermon, has boon very
much quoted of late.
Despite the very torrid temporature
that has prevailed in this region of late
tliero have been no sun strokes reported
Such a hratefl term in the northern cities
is nlwnys accompanied by numerous
such oases.
The age of steam will soon ho labeled
and put on the shelf alongside of the
age of the ox learn. The electric age
Is upon the world, and soon the greatest
of all forces will be furnishing the mo
tive power for the world's machinery of
every xort
The St. Bouia Olobe-Domocrat thinks
that the republican party "ahould or-
genize a society for the suppression of
Russ Harrison.” It is tlis suspicion
that a strong faction of the republican
party contemplates the suppression of
the entire Harrison family that bat made
Rosa so voolforous of late.
Some yean ago when the prince of
Wales was a witness in a scandalous
case his testimony was considered per
jury. The excuse for bis false (wearing
was tbrft he did It to protect a woman’s
reputation. The heir to Brltain'e throne
Is about as disreputable a citizen In
morals as the country can boast of.
The question of the removal of the
state capital of Florida, is being agitated
dn the legislature at. Tallahassee, and. a
’resolution proposing the removal passed
-the house by a vote of thirty-five to
-fifteen. It it is removed it will probably
go to Ocala, or It may go to OalnesviUs,
drblch is nearer the geographical center
of the stat^
This is the age of precocious ehildren.
They come in troops and startle the
world by their untaught acquaintance
with music, mathematics, general litera
ture and even science. But not with
the arts and utilitarian trades. No four
year old girl has made her debut, nor a
six year old boy who is never so happy
as when toting in wood for mamma or
pulling weeds in the garden. Nor Is
there likely to be snch a debnt.
We have been taught to believe that
there would be no favors shown retnr-
notion day, but the continued Increase
of pension claimants Is enough to stag
ger our faith. Is It possible that our re
publican brother, with his accustomed
smartness, has worked up a corner on
the buslnesswnd Is bringing a few thous
ands of the departed In ahead of time?
If, not, where on earth are all the re
cruits to the pension list coming from,;
The Sunday law, prohibiting the sale
of everything except soda water, la
causing seiiuus inconvenience to the
gentlemen of Atlanta who delight to
pull the favorite Havanas in the Kim
ball house rotunda, on the Sabbath day.
There are some people in Atlanta who
•re never satisfied unless there is some
thing np to disturb the public mind, and
this element ta ever on the alert. Sun
day taws are very good and should be
enforced, but extremes should be
•voided.
The stamp collectors show • disposi
tion to combine, as will be seen by the
following curious advertisement taken
from a Mauritius journal: “A stamp
collector, the poeaesaor of a collection of
13,544 stamps, wishes to marry a lady
who is an ardent collector and the poz-
1 sessor of the blue penny sump of Haur-
ltius, Issued in 1847.” If she enters into
this matrimonial alliance the lady Is apt
to be bannted by the thought that per
haps this collector Is not after her so
much as ho is after her blno penny
stamp. .She knows how a collector re
gards a raro stamp, and It leaves her
■ i“ mind open to doubt.
HIS EVES WERE OPENED.
On his return to Boston, after his re
cent tour through the south, or a por
tion of It, Hon. Kdward Atkinson, the
distinguished statistfeisn and writer on
industrial subjects, furnished a lengthy
article to the Manufacturer's Record,
giving his impressions resulting from
that trip.
It was an elaborate and exhaustive
review of the south and its resources,
and was writton by a man whose eyes
evidently had been opened and whose
sense of honesty and fairness would al
low no prejudice to creep into his ex
pressed judgment concerning the south.
It is the host article ever written upon
this section by Mr. Atkinson
He says that it may almost seem offi
cious for him to deal at such length
with the resources of the south, but that
Ids justification is found in the etrango
fact that in the very heart of the eastern
part of the United States is an area near
ly as large as France, endowed with
moro varied resources and with a better
climate than almost any other similar
area within the limits of our common
country, which is very sparsely settled,
and until a few years ago scarcely known
to New England people. The time has
now come, he says, for men to compre
hend that there lies at our door a very
largo area of almost unoccupied territory
capable of being made the homes of
millions of intelligent and industrious
families
The one mistake that Mr. Atkinson
made was in not visiting Americus.
Here he would have seen the prettiest
picture and the most inviting field for
Industry and development in all the pro
gressive south. But Americus has no
complaint to enter against Mr. Atkinson
for his failure to come within her gates.
She cannot be lddden, and her glory Is a
part of tbo wonderful story of the south.
■iuetick, though tardy.
Plenty Horses is ncquitted. The at
tempt to hold him guilty of murder for
the shooting of Lieut. Casey was a
travesty on law and justice. In trying
him the fcdoral court simply yielded to
the passion and prejudice of the frontier
and tiie government at Washington was
evidently moved by the same pressure.
There is not a soldier nor a lawyer in
the country who believes that Plenty
Horses was guilty of murder. Probably
very few of the men who Insisted on bis
trial and condemnation thought him
within the spirit of the law against de
liberate manslaughter. Doubtless many
of his prosecutors and persecutors simply
thought and hoped that the friendless
Indian might be hanged through a
technical construction of the law.
The judicial effort was a wretchedly
cruel and faithless sequel to the long In
justice whloh had driven Flenty Horse*
^nd his people into revolt, and his ac
quittal by order of the judge 1* a tardy
set of justloe and a slow recognition of
the fact that the whites and Indians
were at war—a fact known to and ad
mitted by Gen. Miles and every soldier
who served under him.
TWO MONUMENTS
On Wednesday last two monuments
were unveiled In the presence of wait
ing thousands. One was at Jackson,
Mississippi, the capital of a state, which
Jefferson Davis represented with great
and crowning honor in the senate of the
United States.
He represented on a broader scale
American manhood on the plains of
Mexico, and brought to Pierce’s admin
istration great credit for his wonderful
administration of the office of secretary
of war. As leader of the Confederacy
he added to his reputation and became
known throughout the world. He was
true to his convictions and willing to die
for them. In all essentials he was an
honest man, fearless and incorruptible.
The people of Mississippi have added
another chaplet to the crown of glory
they wear by erecting as a tokon of
their love and affection a monument to
Ills honor.
The other monument was unveiled at
Galena, Illinois, the home of "Ulysses S.
Grant. It was fitting that his friends
and neighbors should have thus shown
honor to a man who became illustrious
by tbs successful conduct of the great
est war of modern times.
General Grant’s military record con
tains nothing that is not in accord with
the character of a high-toned soldier.
His civil career was marred by miscon
duct of subordinates, but no one at
taches any blame to him therefor. It
was a series of mishaps arising from
misplaced confidence.
The peoplo of the south certainly
cherish no ill towards the memory oi the
great federal captain, and honor those
who show their appreciation of his de
votion to the cause that lie and they
held dear.
From the truck patch and the potato
field conies the last wall of that terrible
example, John J Ingalls: “The repub
licanism of the futuro must readjust
itself to the changed conditions of Amer
ican life, or it will perish," wrote lie to
the republican editors of Kansas. Three
months in a thirty acre truck patcli lias
evidently dono fail., more good than
ninety days in jail. He makes a positive
statement, based on existing couditions,
foretelling the downfall of the protec
tive tariff

WHERE IT STANDS ON SILVER.
Tbs Industrial Alliance, with head
quarters at Boston, recently addressed a
circular letter to the members of the
flfty-seoond congress ebosen last fall,
asking their position on the silver ques
tion.
Of the thirty-one democratic members
who responded twenty-eight declared in
favor of freo coinage.
In the last congress 117 out of 123
democratic representatives voted for
free coinage. If the members of the
fifty-second congress had all replied to
the quostlon put them by the Industrial
Alliance the proportion in favor of free
coinage would have doubtless been about
the same that it was In the answers giv
en and the proceeding congress.
This not only serves to show that the
democratic party Is overwhelmingly a
free coinage party, but that a free coin
age bill la going to pass the next house
of representatives by an overwhelming
majority.
The democratic party will be so thor-
oughly committed to free coinage by the
time the next national convention of the
party meets that It will be impossible
for the party to take any other position
In Its platform.
DELIBERATE THEFT.
The people of Rhode Island voted at
the last state election in favor of the
democratic candidates. That Is, more
voters preferred those candidates than
any others. But because more than
two seta of candidates were voted for
there was no legal choice under the
laws of Rhode Island. The democratic
candidates, In other words, did not re
ceive more votes than were cast for all
other candidates together.
The legislature of Rhode Island being
republican, has now elected the candi
dates who were the choice of a minority
of the people. There Is an eternal un
fitness in this state of affairs which
pleases no one except the republican pol
iticians who profit by It.
In view of the refusal of these repub
lican politicians to change the taws in
Rhode Island, Connecticut and New
Hampshire, there Is only one thing to
say. They maintain the unjust taw for
dishonest purposes. They want it in
order that they may steal these three
state governments and their Uni
ted States senatorsbips. Therefore this
robbery in Rhode Island is a deliberate
outrage upon the larger part of the
peoplo.
Mb. Russel Harrison has not yet de
finitely declined the presidency on his
own account.
