Monday is said to have been the hot
test June day iu eight years, the ther
mometer ranging from ninety to ninety-
eight degrees in the cities of the middle
and eastern states.
n ifhJktfi.
r a fa^Fhard'to realize, thatfwit'
tiOO miles of Georgia there exist* a des
potism as absolute as that of Russia,
where scenes may bo witnessed that
rival the most bloody orgies witnessed
by travelers In Africa. The ruler of
Hayti is as bloodthirsty a tyrant as was
Nero or Caligula His subjects seem to
stand in abject fear of him, and those
who incur bis displeasure he causes to
be shot down like dogs In the streets.
Between May 28 and June 1 there oc
curred at Port-au-Prince a massacre
rivaling that of St. Bartholomew. N’t
less than three hundred defenseless citi
zens were shot and left lying in the
streets as a warning to others. And ac
cording to the last reports the bloody
work was not ended.
The people of the United States have
but a faint conception of the barbae ism
that exists in the wretched little coun
try called Hayti. The negro race has
there been afforded an opportunity of
showing Its capacity for self-govern
ment, after having an opportunity to
copy after the whites, and how have
they used it? Instead of benelHting Un
freedom and independence they have
reverted to a condition hardly superior
Savannah will remain headquarters
for the Central division of the Terminal
■yitem, and the people of that city
breathe easier since the announcement
has been made. Mr. V. E. McBee has
been appointed general superintendent,
in which position he succeeds Mr. Cecil
Gabbett, who has been acting as general
manager, since the deal went into effect*
De LKBAEI's is to be prosecuted by the J to that of their ancestors wheu they
French stockholders of the collapsed were landed from slave ships on the
Panama canal scheme because he failed i island. They practice the same heatheu
of success. Wouldn’t it be fair and just - voudoo rites as do the savages of Africi
to offset his great Buez canal success I and their general condition would be
against his Panama failure and let the ! that of African savages, but for the fact
old man alone? Americans would he that they are more dependent for sub
more generous. When they risk and J sistence on cultivation of the soil
lose they stand it like men aud try iti It is very evident that people of the
attain. ! African race, even after being long asso
I ciated with the whites, are not capable
of organized government when left to
.... . | themselves. They are easily brought
Southern Press Azzociatlun for a con
certed movement in all the town, and
cltlea of the south to raise a fund for the
erection of a monument In honor of Jef
ferson Davis. Gen. J. 1). Gordon,
commander of the United Con
federate Veterans’ Association, has
issued the following bulletin: “What
ever funds may be raised through
your efforts on Thursday, the 18th, for
the proposed monument to Jefferson
Davis, can be deposited in local banks
there to remain until required by the
proper authorities thereafter.'
IL-
Bxjr Him., Jk„ has for some time
' been writing a life of bis illustrious
father, and some extracts from the ad
vance sheets ju^t published, are causing
some atir by reason of their criticism of
Senator Joe Brown, the political rival of
Senator Hill. Tlirse extracts contain
parallels between the lives and charac
tern of the two great southerners and a
general review of their records from the
time that they became antagonists in the
political arena before the war. Mr. Hill
claims to criticize Senator Brown only
(n so far as is necessary to do justice to
the truth of history concerning Senator
Hill, whose lack of judgment was first
announced by your Uncle Joseph him
self. The latter refuses to reply to the
criticisms of Mr. ,Hill, stating that the
verdict of biitory it already matte up.
A special to the Constitution from
Montgomery, Ala., aays: “Evidences
are accumulating that Governor Hill Is
gaining control of the affections of the
people of this state. Alabama has been,
perhaps,'the strongest and moat pro
nounced Cleveland state In the south.
Even after the star of the ex-president
had waned so low that but few clung to
him, still Alabama was firmly wedded
to bis fortunes." The efforts of the
Constitution to create a Hill boom in
Georgia ahonld not lead that astute
jiirnal to overlook the fact that what
ever be Gov. Hill’s strength and popu
larity, in New York and elsewhere, he
Is as yet a mere pigmy beside the ex
president While Mr. Cleveland has
some strong opposition in the rsnks of
ths New York democracy, the general
feeling in that state seems to be that in
■pita of his failings he is by odds the
strongest man the democrats can nomi
nate and can and will win the election
and be the next president of the United
States.
[ under the contnd of cunniug priests and
hold leaders, who easily acquire a des
potic sway over them. It is the good
fortune of the negroes in the southern
states that they are associated, and the
same association serves to educate them
and to incite some ambition in them.
The climate also exerts a beneficial in
fluence by compelling thorn to load in
dustrious lives, instead of allowing them
to take their ease miller tho shade of
food-hearing trees.
As to the political condition of Hayti
it seems that matters have readied such
a pass that enlightened nations should
interfere, even If they have to subjugate
the island, or that portion of it that is
controlled by the blacks. It is now in a
condition little better than that of the
interior of Africa, which lias been so
cooty appropriated by European conn
tries. As the United States lias had no
share in tho partitioning of Africa, it is
no more than her duo that she should he
allowed to tako possession of Hayti.
That would put a stop to tho barbarous
practices now witnessed there.
The civilizing of barbarous countries
is the manifest mission of tho white
race. Hayti lias become a reproacli to
the civilizing tendoncy of tile ago. hot
the United States send a white minister
to Hayti, then acquire by purchase that
long desired coaling station, and then
tho whole island can bo brought tinder
our control and civilization restored to it.
IS RETALIATION.
It I* understood that the United States
minister to Italy, Porter, haa left Borne,
and it la very doubtful whether lie will
ever return egaln.
When the Irascible Baron Fava was
withdrawn from Washington under
Premier Budinl’e orders by way of em
phasizing Italy’s resentment at the
coarse of the United States in the New
Orleans affair, it waa believed that after
a second thought Italy would Bend 1dm
or some other minister back agalu. But
as Italy reams to be disposed to keep up
her pouting, It Is stated that President
Harrison has directed Minister Porter
to leave that country, and it is believed
he will not bn sent back until Italy con
cludes to again send a representative to
oar national capital.
Fava’s recall, under the circumstances,
waa nothing more nor lees than a grave
threat, and since King llnmbert end
•Riullnl have seen lit to keep in the
dumps. It Is nothing but right and
proper that the American minister
ahoald be recalled until Italy gets in a
good btunor.
This Is as Uttle as Uncle Bern could
do, to notify Italy that neither her blus
ter nor threats can intimidate him. If
Italy can get along without intercourse
with the United States, certainly we can
exist, and, perhaps, he happy without
her—certainly without any of her expa
triated cut-throats aud assassins as rep-
rassnted by the Mali*.

This is numerically second, however,
to Governor Brown's staff during tho

'liertTconih’riinlonJiif a lovely alliance
between Gen. Alger and James G. Blaine
In fact, thcro are some evidences that
they havo pooled their issues, so to
speak.
Alger announces himself boldly iu
favor of Blaine as the next nominee of
the republican party, and Mr. Blaine Is
known to he very friendly to the General.
They are said to have been coquetting of
late In many little ways.
This is significant. It may mean noth
Ing, but it may mean much. They are
botli shrewd, calculating men. There
other two men in the republican
party that have more lu-aius than Blaine
and Alger. Blaine will have a very
eigtity following in the convention
and Gen. Alger has lots of money and
friends. It will readily he seen what a
strong combination these tw-o men can
make. Should Blaine throw- his
strength to Alger, or Alger to Blaine, it.
may turn the tide iu favor of either. It
would he a fatal combination against
Harrison, and a combine tiiat would
place a morn formidable candidate in
the Held against the democrats titan
Harrison would make.. Eitherlilalue
Alger, in our opinion, would he a harder
man to defeat than the present, adminis
tration.
Blaine is the popular idol of his party
and is much stronger to-day than when
he ran against Cleveland in 18*4. Alger
is a strongman. He is immensely pop
ular with the Grand Army of the Re
public and tho solid friend of the im
mense army of pensioners. If lie and
Blaine have formed a combine, keep
your eye on tho great duo, for something
interesting is going to happen.

A Fit AID OF TIIK RESULTS.
Upon returning to Kansas from tho
Cincinnati convention tho leaders of the
third party movoment issued a circular,
which was Kent to the sub-alliancca
throughout the state, requesting them
to give an expression of their opinion of
the work done by tho convention. About
fifty sub-alliances havo been heard from,
and here la.i sample of thoir replieH :
Whereas^ The south whm not tepresented In
theCincinnati convention; anti, wherea
believe a third party will ditirupt the repub
lican party to the benefit of the democratic
party; therefore be It
IteMoIved, That we abandon the third party
to return to our pant alHilntion.
This kinder throws a damper upon the
third party politicians, and it begins to
look like the nest will be broken up be
fore the egg Is fairly hatched.

Bank scandal in Philadelphia. He in
duced Comptroller Lacy to withhold the
appointment of a receiver for many
weeks while Holy John aud Marsh, the
president of the wrecked hank, were
tryiugto “rehabilitate" the assets. “Re
habilitate” is a good word, iu fact
good large word, and sounds well along
