Sullivan Is a consummate advertiser.
He got In some fine work of this kind
last week in the Slavin correspondence
by wire.
An Illinois dairyman has discovered a
milk well—a very natural thing, after
all. He bad undoubtedly been hunting
for new wells all bis life.
Hon. Amos J. Cummino is the latest
addition to the prospective candidates
for the speakership of the next house of
representatives. It Is stated that the
New Tork delegation will put him out.
Judoixo of his picture in the Atlanta
Constitution Ozburn will be a dead man

The artist tried himself, and succeeded
in making Ozburn look like a very sick
Senator A. H. Colquitt and Hon.
C. F. Crisp have been chosen as the or
ators for fourth of July celebration at
Tammany hall. There will be other
speakers, but the place of honor is re
served for Georgia.
No-two of the hundreds of newspa
per cuts of the new Urs. General Scho
field bear any resemblance to each oth
er. A collection of the whole lot would
be a most Interesting thing for preser
vation in the family.
Governoh Campueei. will probably
be knifed by the Hamilton county gang,
whom his straight forward administra
tlon has discomforted, but if that gang
should be allowed to dictate the noml
nee, the democratic party had just as
well not enter the contest
The Kansas democrats are setting
their triggers to capture the electoral
vote of that state next year. They pro
pose a fusion with the people's party,
giving the democrats fire and the peo
ple's party four of the nine electoral
votes. Kansas may yet be a democratic
A negro preacher of Chattanooga
recommends that his brothers In black
boycott the railroads as far as practlc
. able, because of the unjust discrimina
tions against bis race. It will be a cold
day In August when the negroes quit
riding on the railroads, even If they
have nothing better than a box car.
The Nashville American says: "One
year ago dealers in this city paid from 33
to 84 cents per pound for choice tab-
washed wool. Now they pay 30 to 31
cents, and the market Is dull at that.
Tennessee wool-growers can - see from
'this just how mueh the MoKInley bill
helped them in advancing their staples.”
The Iowa democrats have re-noml-
nated Gov. Boles, and are enthusiastic
over the outlook for a successful cam
paign. If Iowa Is carried by (the'demo-
. urate this fall there Is a good chance for
victory in the presidential campaign
next year, and that state, which has
always been republican to the core, will
pass to the democratic column.
The Kail and Express says:,“Reports
from Bar Harbor Indicate that Ur.
Blaine la now practically recovered from
his Illness whieh drove him from his
work in Washington. It is evident that
he needed rest and quiet more than any
thing else, and that no serious compiles,
tioas attended the attack in this city."
Well, What of it? Are you going to
leave the publlo to assume what yon
really .would like to hare said?
When Secretary Blaine found out
that ho had angered the ladles of the W.
0. T. U. by sending American beer to
South America, he cast about for a way
to reinstate himself in their good graces.
He saw in the seal fisheries a suitable
opportunity. He insisted upon such fa
vorable terms with England that seal
skin eacques will be cheaper in this
country than ever before. 1 ha wily
secretary well knows that a woman's
gratitude for ' a sealskin sacque will
overborne her abhorrence of beer drink-
log—especially If the drinking Is In-
dulged In by people thousands of miles
off, and who substitute the mild beer
for some native drink that burns up
both body and soul.
Some genius for historical research
has unearthed the Interesting fact that
the first shipment of cotton ever made
from the American colonies was made
from the port of Charleston in 1718,
when "seven bsga of cotton wool,” as
it was called in the ship’s manifest, val
ued at £3*lls. fid a bag," were exported
to Liverpool. In 1764 another foreign
shipment was made by James Haber
sham of Savannah, but on Its arrival at
Liverpool It was seized by the custom
bouse authorities on the ground that so
mueh cotton could not be grown in the
American colonies. In 1770 ten belts
constituted the shipment. Since that
time the invention of the ootton gin has
produced a revolution, and now Charles
ton alone exports more than 900,000
bales a year.
STATUS, SECTIONS AND CANDIDATES
During the last forty years the dem
ocratic candidate for president at every
election, except that of 1800, In which
the democracy was hopelessly divided
between two candidates, has been an
eastern man.
Five times lie has been a New York
man;twicoa man from Pennsylvania;
once a man from New Jersey, and once
a New Englander.
The New England man was elected.
So was one of the two Pennsylvanians.
Once in five times the New York man
has been elected and served, and once
he was elected and counted out. All the
rest were beaten.
If sectional considerations weighed
with democracy there might be ground,
after forty years of eastern nominations,
for a demand for the selection of a west
ern man next time. But the deraociatic
party does not consider sections. It is
national, not sectional, and its only con
cern next year will b© to choose its fit
test and most available man as its stand
ard bearer.
Tho chief duty of the convention will
be to find out who is that fittest and
most available man, and the record of
history seems to show that in making its
choice democracy need not restrict it
self to any state or section.
Thanks to the packing of tho electoral
colleges by the admission of rotten
borough states the democrats cannot ex
pect to elect without the vote of New
York. But the notion that for that rea-.
son the candidate must be a citizen of
that state is wholly unfounded. New
York is strongly, securely democratic
with aDy good candidate, acceptable to
all factions of the party in the state, who
represents tho cause of the people
against plutocracy, centralization and
class legislation.
WHV NOT SWAP HOGS?
There is a timely and valuable sug.
gestlon in the New York Sun'i reference
to Mr, J, Montgomery Sears’ experi
ments in stlrpiculturd on bis New Eng-
land farm and to his apparent forgetful
ness of the world-famous Georgia razor-
back.
Politically, New England and the laud
of the razor-back look a little askance
at each other. It would raise us won
derfully in tho New Englanders' estima
tion should we be able to do our half in
producing in perfection “streak-of-lenn-
and-streak-of-fat variety 'of pork so
highly prized in Boston
the center-piece in the Sunday
bean pot.” We would like to swap
hogs with Montgomery. . We can get
along without the razor-back. He has
always been a fruitful source of trouble
He has promoted litigation exces-
eively and bat been a wanton destroyer
of crops. Montgomery needs him. We
will take a cylindrical New England
porker for every razor-back that he will
carry away. This will Improve the
■tlrp all around, bury eeotionalism, and
make ue a united country'.
It le a trade, Monty?
McKinley and high tax.
William McKinley was Wednesday
nominated by the republicans of Ohio as
their candidate for governor. He was
chosen, primarily, because he was the
author of the McKinley act, by which
the price of many of tho necessaries of
life has been enormously increased. The
republican campaigncry.il, "McKinley
and High Taxes I"
The etruggle between Mr, McKinley
and Gov. Campbell, should the latter re
ceive the democratic nomination, will bo
one the Issues of the present tariff law,
The question will be squarely presented
whether or not the federal government
ehall levy enormous taxes not only for
the protection of home manufactures
from ruinous foreign competition, but
for the enrichment of the greedy
favorites and almoners of the republi
can party.
The people of Ohio have already passed
on the iesue and elected fourteen demo
cratic congressmen to seven republican
congressmen, Mr. McKinley himself be-
igg among the defeated. It It not prob
able that their experiences under the
law have changed the convictions of the
Ohio voters.
A GOOD FLANK.
Could there be a safer platform upon
whtcli to go to the country than the
tariff plank adopted by the Iowa demo
cratic convention yesterday;
“We denounce the McKinley bill, the
motives of its authors und the theory
under which it is submitted for the ap
proval of the American people. We de
mand equal opportunities for every
section of our country and for every
citizen; and we insist that every oppres
sive feature of the tariff be eliminated,
to tho end that our merchant marine
may be restored to the sea and the mar
ket* of the world opened te our produc
ing classes.
“The sugar bounty is not a tariff. It
Is a spoliation of the treasury for special
.classes, and Interests which are no more
entitled to be aided by the government
than the farmers of Iowa in raising hogs
or conj, or the pioneer settlers of the
frontier in their hardships and sufferings
i the vanguard of civilization."
A hare case of inconsietency Is af
forded by the Chicago Tribune, that en
thusiastically indorse* the nomination
of Major McKinley for governor of Ohio
and at the same time deplores the Mc
Kinley tariff. But the Tribune has been
keeping up that sort of paradoxical pol
itics for some yean now without any
apparent'lnjnry to Its conscience.
AN INTERNATIONAL FBOBLEItl,
Sir James Ferguson is mistaken In
supposing that the English Copyright
law is so favorable to aliens as to satisfy
the conditions of tho United States
Copyright law.
The English Copyright law requires,
as a condition procedcnt to tho copy
righting of a foreign book, that the law
of the country in which tho book is pro
duced shall practically give full rights
to Eoglish autbois. Satisfaction that
this condition has been complied with
is to be announced in an order in Coun
cil. If the law of the foreign country is
not satisfactory , then the general stat
ute of Great Britain applies and foreign
books cannot be copyrighted in Eng
land unless they are first published
there.
The British law is indeed much fairer
and better than our own statue was be
fore the enactment of the existing law,
but it docs not meet the conditions of
the latter. Our law now demands that
a foreign country shall give to American
authors the same rights that are accord-
cd to foreign authors by the Interna
tional Copyright law. If the British
government insists that its existing
statuto is as liberal as tho International
Copyright law of last session British
authors will not be protected hero.
A law giving copyright to. Englishmen
on contemporaneous publication is cer
tainly more liberal than a law giving
British copyright to American authors
on prior publication in the United King
dom.
There is still time for the International
Copyright cup to slip.
THE LOUISIANA JUDICIARY.
It lias been feared that one result of
tlie massacre of the Sicilians at New Or
leans last spring would bo to intimidate
jurors,and lead them to convict accused
persons against whom there was strong
popular feeling, whether the proof justi
fied such conviction or not.
Whatever effect may thus be produced
upon juries in Louisiana, it is satisfac
tory to know that the judiciary of that
state shows no sign of being influenced
to do that which is weak or wrong by
reason of popular sentiment.
On Tuesday a man named Edward
White was tried in a criminal court in
New Orleans for attempting to induce a
witness not to testify in the Hennessey
murder case. At the conclusion of the
evidence for the prosecution, Judge Ba
ker, the presiding justice, declared that
the state had not proved enough to sus
tain a conviction. Tho only evidence
against the defendant was that of the
prosecuting witness, and his testimony
and reputation wero declared l to be of
such a character that no jury could
safely base a verdict upon tho proof
given by the prosecutor. Tho defend
ant was accordingly acquitted by the di
rection of the court
The point which 1 wish to impress
upon my American reader Is simply this:
That the English horse, employod on
the streots of a city, or on the roads of a
country, does twice as much work as
the American horse similarly employed
In America, • * • The simple ex
planation is that the Engllsman has in-
vested in perfect and permanent roads
what the American expends in perish
able horses that require to be fed. A
road well built is easily kept in repair.
A mile of good macadamized road is
more easily supported than a poor horse,

This is the way
with the Ball corset: if you
want ease and shapeliness,
you buy it—but you don’t
keep it unless you like it.
After two or three weeks’
wear, you can return it and
have your money.
Comfort isn’t all of it
though. Soft Eyelets, and
"bones” that can’t break or
kink—Ball’s corsets have
both of these.
