BAtooa Mybick, Editor and Manager, THE TIMES FOBLISH1.NO COMPANY, America!, Oa. Americas, Os., Jane 27, 1891. 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 before bis thirty days’ respite is out. 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, —J. G. Holland, BEALL & OAKLEY. BARGAINS!
