General Grant is losing strength
rapidly and it is feared that lie will
not last long.
Carter Harrison.the great spread-
eagle orator of Illinois, has been
re-nominated by acclamation for
the office of Mayor of Chicago.
The turning out of two republi
can rascals and the insinuation of
two honest democrats each work
ing day made but G26 changes a
jear. At this rate it will take about
fifty years to get all the “rascals”
out.
We notice in the telegraph dis
patches that William A. J. Parks,
•f Illinois, has been appointed by
the President as commissioner of
the general land office. We think
there is a mistake in the name—it
should be Sparks.
Georgia’s day at the New Or
leans Exposition was a decided suc
cess, so far as the parade and
speeches were concerned. We arc
only sorry that the exhibition of
products from the State could not
hare been upon an equally large
scale.
We received on Wednesday a let
ter from Ohio, acknowledging the
receipt on the',21st of a paper mailed
from this office in September, 1882.
It would seem from this a general
change in the postofllce department
is needed, and tnesooner it is made
the better.
The latest appointments by the
President are Henry L. Muldrow,
of Mississippi, assistant secretary
ofthe interior; Wm. J. A. Parks,
of Illinois, commissioner of the
general land office: Daniel McCon-
yille, of Ohio, auditor of the treas
ury lor the post office department.
The Chattanooga Tunes fears
that the large influx of Northern
settlers in Tennessee may change
i*s complexion, and make it diffi
cult for the Democrats to carry the
State. Not much danger. .lust
let a Northern man once have
substantial interest in the South,
by becoming a property owner,and
he will very soon see that his in
terests and Democratic success are
too intimately connected to be
separated. It is a very common
expression of Northern men, even
of pronounced radical tendencies,
that if they lived in the South tuey
would always vote the Democratic
ticket.
FOREIGN MISSIONS.
The appointments by the Presi
dent for foreign missions will be
received with general surprise, and
show more conclusively than ever
that President Cleveland is not
bound by ordinary rules or prece
dents in his selections. The ap
pointments are as follows:
Minister to Great Britain—Ed
win J. Phelps, of Vermont.
Minister to France—Robert M.
McLanc, of Maryland.
Minister to Germany—George
II..Pendleton, of Ohio. ;
Minister to Mexico-Henry R. ' tbe distinguished guests, among

GEORGIA’S DAY.

— — W “
New Orleans, March 24 —The
celebration of Georgia duy was
an event to be remembered as one
ofthe most imposing of the expo
sition celebrations. The visiting
military and citizens were out in
full force, and long before the ap
pointed hour for the exercises to
begin the grounds were covered
with enthusiastic multitudes. The
ceremonies began down town by
tbe formation of companies of the
armory, and thence marching to
tbe hotel they awaited tbe coming
Pendleton, has heretofore been
mentioned in connection with a for
eign mission. From the sketches
given of Messrs. Phelps and Me-
Lane, however, they would seem to
be well fitted for the positions. The
recognition of Georgia is peculiarly
acceptable to our people.
Rev. Henry Ward Beecher has
lost none of bis admiration for Mr.
Cleveland. In a lecture delivered
at Lynchburg, Virginia, a few days
ago, he spoke of the President in
most complimentary terms saying
that “he bad a heart big enough
for two countries the size of this,”
that be “was cautious, honest, wise
and experienced,” and that “if in
dications were anything Mr. Cleve
land would restore the country to
what its founders intended it should
be.”
Tbe many friends of the gallant
one-armed hero of halt a dozen
wars, Gen. Wm. W. Loring, of
Florida, will be pleased to learn
that be is being strongly pressed
for tbe mission to Turkey, a posi
tion for which he is eminently fitted
by bis ten years service under the
Khedive of Egypt as Pasha Loring.
General Loring entered service as
a mere boy in 1830, during the
8eminole war in Florida, and has
been a life-long soldier, yet his
connection with public men and
affairs has been such as to qualify
him to fill any civil position to
which he may be called oy the
present administration.
Concerning the business outlook,
the New Orleans Times-Democrat
takes a most cheerful view. It
says that there is now no reason
for a continuance of depression in
the United States, and it bases its
reason for this opinion on the fol
lowing conceded facts: “The ad
ministration is honest and econo
mical; the people are industrious;
its soil is fertile; the crops are
promising; we are at peace with all
the world, and feeding and cloth-
ingthe world. The evidences of
(•turning prosperity ate visible
every where, ami nownere more so
than here in New Orleans. Our
banks show a large increase of
deposits and decrease of obliga
tions; prices are belter, and the
people more cheerful and hopeful.
We are not going to jump back
into prosperity as we jumped into
the panic, but we are steadily im
proving 'and prospering from day
today, and are growing better off
every week, and the lime is near
at hand wtieu we will be in a far
surer and safer condition than
when the panic came.”
The attendance at the New Or
leans Exposition last week showed
an improvement over the previous
one, the gate receipts being $30,-
328, against $26,411, and indicat
ing an average daily attendance,
adults and children, of 13,000,
against 11,700 tbe previous week.
This, however, is not satisfactory
to the friends of the enterprise,but
the indications are that the atten
dance for the next six weeks will
show a large increase.
Holding office seems to be too rich
for Democratic blood, and it is not
able to stand up under the pres
sure. Malcom Hay, the new first
assistant postmaster general, is
traveling in Florida for his health;
and Mr. Clarke, recently appointed
assistant secretary of the Interior,
is dead, never having been sworn in.
It is possible, but not at all proba
ble, that this may produce a mo
mentary check to oiilcc-secking.

Sbclbyvlllc (111.) Leader, Jan. 2i
The report s-nf out last week
that T. M. Thornton, Banker, of
this city, bad drawn $75,000, it
being the capital prize of tbe Lou
isiana State Lottery of this month,
is true; and what is more, tbu
money has been pam over without
defalcation or discount. It Is said
that it is better to be born lucky
than rich, but Mr. Tboruton has
the advantage of being born both
rich and lucky.
Every stop of a train cost9 money
to a railway company. Recent
statistics kept on a certain trunk
line showed that during a given
year tne 350 daily trains made
7,000 extra stops every twenty.four
hours, tbe traffic being largely
suburban. Experiments showed
also that each stop cost 42 cents,
reckoned largely in extra time to \ , ..
employes who, for that number of | churacfi on Wed
stops put in the aggregate 350
extra hours per day, making a
total loss to tbe company of nearly
$50,000 a year.
