Atucricus, Oa.
Americus, Oa., July 7, 1881.
One fellow lias gone crazy on account
of talk about tbe world's coming to an
end. Such talk la enough to shako up
almost anybody.
The Uarrison's of Washington havo
gone to the seashore, and will spend a
few weeks In the gift cottago at Cape
May, Now Jersey.
Genkhal Joint II. Gordon has gone
to New York in bad health. He says the
Davis monumont fund will amount to
something creditable.
The great desert in Colorado is filling
up with water. It is 2.',3 feet below the
soa level, and ages ago was evidently
lake or a part of the Pacific Ocean.
The Southern Cadets of Macon won
'the fourth prize .at the . interna
tional drill at Indianapolis, the first
prizo of $2,300 going to the Urancli
•Guards of St. Louis.
Xhe Georgia legislature will meet to-
morrow. A number of important ques
tions will come before it. Among others
the redistricting of the State, and tho
question of Georgia’s representation at
the World’s fair.
Govehnok Nohtiien has approved
the finding of the betterments commis
sion which is a final settlement of the
question. The people of Georgia will
breathe a sigh of relief to know that it
will not again trouble the solous of the
state.
The news that Mr. Blaine has had an
other attack of Illness at Bar Harbor
will arrest the attention of the nation.
His prominence as a presidential factor,
his official position and the groat dis
tinction he has attained as a public man,
all conspire to make Mr. Blaine a control
flguro in this country.
The Itata has returned to San Diego,
Cal., from which port she escaped sev
eral weeks ago, under charge of the
United States steamer Charleston. She
is held by tho government for breaking
tbe neutrality laws, and a trial In the
United States courts will decide whether
abe shall bo confiscated.
The Uepublicans of Tennessee have
nominated as the successor of tbe late
Congressman Leonidas Houk, bis son
John, who Is said to be a chip of the old
block. If this Is true and he
elected John will bo a popular fellow at
Washington, because ho takes liquor
straight and plenty of It.
Fbed. Douglass, Minister to Uayti,
la at home on a visit He says that the
recent revolution there Was little more
than a tempest In a teapot, and that
Hyppollte Is a good ruler. Correspon
dents say Fred didn't see much of the
revolution, because about that time he
was conspicuously scarce.
The St Louis Kepublio raises tbe In
teresting question, how much of the
money filched from the Philadelphia
treasury and the missing deposits of the
national banks that have failed In tluit
city went to make up tbe $400,000 cor
ruption fund furnished by John .Wans-
maker in the last campaign? It Is a
very pertinent Inquiry, and one concern
ing which fhe public should be en
lightened.
Swallowing all sorts of hardware
and odds and ends of miscellaneous con
trivances just for the money that curl'
out spectators will pay to witness the
operation sometimes brings the human
tool cheat to grief, it did Patrick Mul-
rooney at on Ohio town the other day.
Trying to swallow a fiddle bow was a
failure. It stuck in his throat, and now
Pat's burled “daclntly.” It must have
had rosin on It.
rtHE OHIO CAMPAIGN.
The Cincinnati toughs, who will prob
ably scratch Campbell, are not likely to
number more than 5,000, and the fact
that they oppose him will gain him more
votes than that in other parts of the
state. It doesn’t necessarily follow that
those who scratch Campbell will vote
for McKinley, but If they should Camp
bell can spare 5,000 votes and still be
elected, taking his race with Foraker
two years ago as a basis of calculation,
But the Ohio election is a very uncer
tain problem. Tho state has always
gone Republican on a fnil vote, and
though it has three times elected a Dem
ocratic governor, there was each time
more or less Republican disaffection and
a light vote.
But electious in all the Northern
States, especially those of the West, are
now more problematical than ever be
cause of the manifest political disquie
tude that exist there. Tho Farmers
Alliance is strong in Ohio, and what ef
fect it is going to have on the coming
election it is not yet in the power of any
man to divine. Tbe principles of the
organization ought certainly to incline it
to Campbell rather than McKinley, but
the Republicans havo made a bid for the
Alliance vote by nominating a member
of the organization for lieutenant-gover
nor.
The labor element is another strong
and uncertain factor in Ohio politics,
\ meeting between Governor Campbell
and the Knights of Labor National Ex
ecutive Board is reported to have been
held recently, and ah agreement is sup
posed to havo been arrived at that will
give Governor Campbell the labor vote.
If that be true, 1'. is a strong card in the
Governor’s favor. 1
Another Important point lies in the
fact that a fight is on botween Sherman
and Foraker for the sonatorsbip, and a
family discord Is thus created that will
not prove conducive to Republican suc
cess.
Mr. McKinley is at the further disad
vantage that he must necessarily con
duct a defensive campaign aDd it looks
also that’he will be forced to make it
one of apology. He is the very embodi
ment of the high tariff idea, so much so
as to make all consideration of his per
sonal qualifications of no avail.
Governor Campbell is an active, alert
and aggressive politician. His record as
Governor has been a. good one and has
satisfied the beat element of both par
ties. He will get all but of the cam
paign that is so be had out of It, and if
any man can lead the Ohio Democrats to
victory he will.
That Is the situation at the opening of
tho campaign. There are four months
until the election. He is a shrewd poli
tician. Who can prophesy the result.
It is stated that the. non. Hiram
Wheeler, who has been nominated by
the Republicans for the governshlp of
Iowa, is distinguished only by tbe fact
that he has a beared as long as that of
Senator Peffer of Kansas. If this Is
true Mr,. Wheeler will have a very disa
greeable experience next November, be
cause the political wind will blow a
very large Democratic majority through
his whiskers. The fact of the matter Is
Iowa Democrats are now counting on a
majority of 20,000 votes for Boles, and
they are confident In the assertions they
make, that neither the Republicans In.
side nor those outside of the state can
beat them, and there is every reason to
believe that they are not indulging in
any vain boasting, because the Republi
can party, while apparently harmonious
In tbe convention, are said to be badly
spilt on the prohibition plank which
was Inserted In theli platform.

The recent certain formation of a vast
lake in the Colorado desert still remains
a mystery. A despatch frota Tama,
Arizona, states that a boat party sent
out to trace the new lake have been
forced to return after traveling twenty-
five miles. Tbe force' of the current
made further progress impossible.
There seems to be but little force In
the explanation which some have sug-
eested, that the inundation is caused by
a rise of other lakes due to the melting
of unusually heavy snowfalls in the win
ter dnd spring. It has been hinted tjiat
the desert lake is a result of earthquake
action. And there is some color of prob
ability for this theory.
After the New Madrid earthquake
shocks of 1811-12, according to the geo
grapher Flint, who visited the scene of
the convulsion, a tract of many miles in
extent became inundated to a depth of
three or four feet. In the course fit an
hour or two during the period of the
earth tremors, large lakes twenty miles
long were foiled, and others were as
suddenly drained, Mir Charles Lyell,
the English geologist, who subsequently
visited the disturbed region of the Mis
sissippi valley, confirmed the truth of
these and many like statements.
In the great Calabrian earthquake of
1783, numerous circular hollows and
new lakes were similarly formed. An
Italian authority places the number of
new lakes formed during the convul
sions at fifty, though probably some of
these were merq ponds. While there
have not been recently any violent
seismic disturbances in the region of the
Colorado desert it is possible that earth
shocks, exciting very little notice, may
have been influential in causing the new
lake.
The subject is one of so much interest,
geologically and practically, that the
cause of the remarkable submergence of
the desert should be carefully followed
up by competent scientists.

The announcement of the death by
yellow fever of Dr. Groennett, surgeon
in charge of the quarantine station at
Chandeleus Island, off the Mississippi
const, is enough to put all the gulf coast
oities on their guard against the impor
tation of this dread destroyer.
Too much care cannot bo given to mu
nicipal sanitation, ns well as tho strictest
watch against the fever's possible im
port It has been definitely decided
that yellow fever is not indigenous to
any part of the United States, never hav
ing its origin hero. IfShenit is kept
out by thorough quarantine restrictions,
and proper local sanitation be main
tained, ovon if imported there nped be
no fears of a terrible visitation.
The Topeka Journal has put forth the
tieket Blaine and Plumb for 1802, but
the Kansas City Star saya Plumb prefen
to remain on tbe floor of tbe unate
rather than being shelved in the viee-
presidency. To place Plumb on Its
ticket would be an attempt on the part
of the Republican party to steal Demo
cratic thunder and an abandonment of
its own professed principles. Plumb
voted for free coinage and against the
tbe McKinley bill. ‘
The ex-Federal soldier in Pennsylva
nia, like the republican politicians of
that atate, aro Inclined to have alillarl-
ous tjmo and enjoy life, no matter what
It costa. There is a home for the sol-
dlen at Erie, and not long ago thirty or
more of the inmates who were allowed
all the privileges of the Institution with-
out a cent paid for board or anything
else, but who, at tbo same time, were
drawing fat pcnilons from the govern
ment, got on a bowling spree and re
belled against the authorities of the
home. The result was that the rule in
vogue elewhere that Inmates of homes
for soldiers shall pay 80 per cent of the
allowance that the government gives
them, was enforced, but the obstreper
ous pensioners, Instead of paying the
money, raised a row and left
Gov. Pattibon seema to have a good
many warm admirers throughout the
country, who are mentioning him for
the presidency, but he is so busy attend
ing to his duties as governor that he
hardly appears to be aware of tbe fact
that hit name has been placed so
prominently before the country. The
fact that he realizes that It iahlfbusi-
neas to look after the affairs of Pennsyl
vania, and not fish for the presidential
nomination, baa greatly increased his
popularity with tbe people of his state,
end even Republicans are beginning to
admit that he Is the best governor they
have had.
Thb verdict In the King murder trial
at Memphis Is just and right and will be
applauded by all good men who love jus
tice and the maintenance of the laws of
the land. The killing of Lawyer Dave
Poston by Col. King was, as the evidence
showed, a cruel and premeditated mur
der, done with malice aforethought and
with desire for revenge for a fancied
wrong. If justice Is not to be meted oat
under such circumstances, then, Indeed,
Is law a mockery and court houses should
bo abolished. Tbe entire south Is to be
congratulated upon this righteous ver
dict Now let justice be vindicated.
A young lady from Texas visited New
York recently, and no doubt thinking
that men there had as much respect for
ladies in that city as they have In tbe
South, thoughtlessly ventured on the
streets wtthout an escort and the result
was she was totalled by a masher. She
did not ory ont or faint however, bnt
without betraying the least excite incut

The girls from some of the counties in
Texas would have pulled a pistol and

Pious John Wanamaker It appears
has a very convenient memory os is evi
donccd by the fact that he has made a
statement to the effect that bo forgot
that he owned ady of tbe stook of tbe
Keystone bank. This la intended as a
explanation of tbe glaring discrepancies
between his testimony and that of his
clerks, but Hie trouble Is Mr. Wana-
maker forgets entirely too easy, and
while It may escape b!s.:mcmory that It
has been very clearly established that he
is a smooth old rascal the people are not
apt to forget It. They will also not for
get that as a cabinet officer ha has ren
dered valuable assistance In disgracing
ono of the worst administrations which
the country has ever endured. Wana
maker may continue to run his Sunday
school, but the brand df fraud is upon
him and the louder he chants his hymns
the plainer It Is to tbe eye.
The Cincinnati Commercial Gazette
expresses tbe opinion that bad not tbe
republican party been loaded with the
negro that the solid south would have
long ago been split, and odds that the
negro has been carried when It was not
policy to do so. It Is this sort of talk
that arouses the suspicion that the Re
publican party would be glad to let tbe
negro drop if It could do so gracefully.
This sentiment does not bode well for
tbe negro, because If thore is a will there
is generally a way, and at tbe present
time the politicians of both parties can
not help but believe that tbe day is pot
far distant when a black objqct will bo
seen and heard to drop.
It is reported that Hon. Josoph E.
Brown intends resigning the position of
president of the Southern Railway and
Steamship Association, which he has
held since Its organization, and gives as
his reason that ho is no longer connected
with any railroad. The association
meets in New York this week.
