Major-Gkskiiai. John Fopk hag been re tired fiom active service and his head quarters are no longer in the saddle, but in Cincinnati. A contemporary speaks of the Free 'Trade movement in South Carolina. Our observation is that the South Carolina Free Trade movement is at a standstill. Accordino to Sams Small and Jones all the pleasures of the day are vices except the pleasures of smoking and chewing. It is a strange coincidence that both Sams use tobacco. The prohibition campaign of St. John and Colquitt in Massachusetts was a failure. A prohibition bili only received four votes iu the Ronse of Representatives, and the Puritan can still make Now England rum for the African trade and enjoy his gin and molasses, along with his beans, SqmRE Edmunds met with prompt pun ishment. After the explosion ot his ora torical shell, he went to the party at the “‘President's House." Grove shook hands ■with him very cordially and they both smiled and winked. Miss Itoso Elizabeth however shook her Unger under the Bur- dolpbian nose of the Vermonter. Now you horrid thing, take that. It is not every community that will sub mit to the evangelist for roicnue only. The Reverend Mangall, who visited Vinita, I. T., and caino in violent contact with law, decenoy and public opinion, thought por- haps that he waa licensed to do these things in an isolated, semi-harbarous community. The result, however, shows that the rev erend tramp was mistaken. 1'ho commit tee that took him in charge took him out in the woods anil returned without him. Hays the Philadelphia Record: “If the Blair educational bill is allowed to pass the Uonse, the responsible Democratic majority in that body may as well go out of hnsiness aa Democrats. It would ho a dangerous triumph of the doctrine on which the Demo cratic party was founded to repel, that the Federal government may interfere in mat ters not di finitely w ithin the powers granted -to Congress iu the Constitution. No power exercised by the states themselves rests upon a slenderer basis of right thsn the in terposition between the parent and child which grows out of the public school sys tems. There is not a shred of authority in tho Federal government to appropriate money for Bute schools.” It la said that Mr. W. W. Corcoran, of Washington city, who bos done more, probably, as on individual contributor to Democratic campaign toads, who has sns- tained in Wosbingtor at great loss a party paper, who has aided Democratic Senators iu their elections, and who is to-day the most conspicuous philanthropist in this countiy, has made hut one quest of the administration, namely, the appointment of a deserving girl to a clerkship, and has been refused that. And yet, an obscure negro, representing no party, no section, nor even bis own race, is hunted np and made Recorder of Deeds in Washington City, at a salary of about $10,000. Just now Mr Corcoran finds the Recorder's office, when business calls him there, a moat excellent point from which to study the beauties of civil service reform. In the decision of the Jackson care, our Supreme Court says: "To escape by tech- oicality does not esUblisk innocence, at -least according to the intelligent and just ■estimate of the world, and iloc-s not restore the party to his former standing among his fellowmen." These be brave words, but prominent among the nauiCH on tho peti tions of those who sock rehabiUtiou by office and have escaped by the close shave of t« .nnicalities, we are told may be found those of the judgea of the Supreme Court. Poohbah. The power heretofore used to make a young man and his girl move towards drag stores is to be applied to other pur poses. A new sods motor, which performs •11 the functions of an ordinary locomotive, is in operation on BUte street, Chicago. It does not require any fire, is noiseless, does not emit any offensive smells, has no ex haust stack or steam whistle to frighten horses, anil makes lolly as good time ts the old-fashioned steam dummy. It takes only thirteen m: notes to charge it, and it will ran continuously for aix hours after it is loaded. The Boston and Albany Railroad Company is also building a forty-ton aoda fountain to haul its trains through Boston a similar machine is in succession use upon s road in England, and a company in Mia neapolia is about to close a contract that will supply all its ears with two-hone power soda fountains. •• The PtMleral Educational Sclitme.” The New York Journal of Commerce lias taken bold of tho Blair Educational Bill, and with its accustomed vigor proceeds to dissect, analyze and bury it. The hill, as now amended, it will be remembered, takes from the Treasury $711,000,000 for general educational purposes. All but two millions of this vast sum is designed for apportion ment among the States, according to the illitomey of each, us shown by the last cen sus. The two millions are to go for school houses in thinly populated aud impover ished sections. The Journal commends Logan’s hold and frank avowal that the sum needed would really amount to $250,000,000, and might reAch $500,000,000. It says in opposition to this job: “The Federal constitution contains no word of warrant for the embarkment of the Federal government in the business of popular education. Tho supporters of the scheme profess to find authority for it in a violent construction of paragraph 1, section 8, nrtice 1, which declares that Congress shall have power, among other things, to 'provide for the common defense and gencrul welfare of the United States.’ Under the same laxity of interpretation Congress might claim tho power to provide baby jam pers, indin-ruhher balloons, tops, kites and rocking-horses for all the children, and tilling-schools and Russian bulb* for all tho adults in the country. Nothing is moracon ducive to the ‘general welfare’ than health and happiness to which the gifts we have mentioned would, in tbto opinion of many people, directly minister. Congress might just as well assert tho right to es tablish newspapers in every town or vil lage where one was not already published, or in any place where the tone of the press was not to the liking of that body. With the same propriety Congress could engage in the book business and print and give away yearly millions of volumes relat ing to theology, science, politics and every other subject of human interest. Congress already does something of this kind in a smaller way, by printing some hundreds of thousands of agricultural reports for distri bution to—tho paper mills — via the con stituents of houorable members. For all these absurd enterprises and others still more fantastic the sanction of the 'geueral welfare’ clause may bo invoked ns fairly as for tne Blair bill. Iu the best shape possi ble, it should be condemned as a most dan gerous innovation.” The Journal dwells upon the bad policy of the bill, and declares that “it would tend to lessen that independence or self-help which is so successful in all things, aud w ould finally bring the schools under tho fu- tnl control of politicians.” It shows that in Massachusetts the gift of $1,152,000 would not put one more hoy or girl into her schools, and that this State stand* as a fair example of many others that do not need Federol aid, The object of the bill is thus described: “From what wc know c! the designs of those who are incessantly seeking to enlarge the sphere of Federal authority and make a stroug central government still stronger, we cannot be left in donbt about tho real purpore of the hill, Tho preliminary ob ject is to accustom tho people to receive Fedornl money for the support of common schools, until finally they will supinely consent to see the whole educational appa ratus transferred to Washington. Tho full pnrnnsn of the scheme would not be real ized until the Federal power had the ap pointment of every school teacher, tho selection and supply of every school book, the building and furnishing of every school- bonse in the land. In comparison with the jobs involved in this vast undertaking river and harbor bills sink into insignificance.” This point is emphasized again: “Let ns not forget, ns we have said, the real object of this bill is to extend tho area of Federal domination over the affairs of the states, and to enablo tho centralized author ity to wield a greater power than was ever dreamed of in the constitution. Tho sup porters of the bill seek to recommend it to all friends of the freeduian by the assurance that it is intended, primarily, to edu cate that class into a proper knowledge ot their duties as citizens. But if this plea is sincere, why is not the bill confined to the aid of that class alone? Or why is the operation of the measure not limited to those States where illiteracy, according to the census returns, exists to an extent among whites as well as blacks, which might be pleaded with more apparent force as an excuse for the interference of the Federal power? There is but one an swer to these questions. The Blair bill only masks the design to tighten the reins in the hands of a still stronger government at Washington.” This is the opinion of a man whose judg ment upon national and economic ques tions has brought his paper to be accepted as authority in the metropolis and other moneyed centres. If he is correct in hia view of this bill, the evil effect be proph esies will fall heaviest upon the South, the section that is to receive the largest share in the distribution of the money. If public schools are to gradually drift into control of the government, what fright ful power* will he wielded here in Georgia by the men who* affiliate with the ignorant negro population and represent them in Washington? Upon this national school system backed by $79,000,000 at tne outset and by a precedent that, according to friend of the scheme will probably draw $500,000,000 from the treasury, will be founded a ring and clique in every South era state that will put on top again the worst elements of society and establish in power political knaves that have been put underfoot. The Freedman’ Bureau, the Internal Revenue, even the official patronage were but as pigmies com Not onference. It was suggested a few days j-ince that a conference between leading Democrat* and performer at penocle. the President might satisfactorily adjust the differences between them. A fruitless attempt has been made in this direction. Mr. Cleveland invited Senator Eustis to a talk. The Senator responded, and the dis cussion is said to have been free, full, good- tempered, and, as stated above, fruitless. The New York Sun considers that the declaration of Mr. Cleveland in his late message, to the effect that nothing could turn him from his course, is unfortunate for him. And proceeds to say: “Mr. Cleveland was elected in view of the fact that the Republicans, during six successive terms of tho Presidency, hail earned the proscription of their opponents to an excess never before known in our po litical history. No one desired that he should imitate this proscription, or assume toward the Republicans such an attitude as they have occupied toward tho Democracy. The people only demnnded that the govern ment should be purified throughout; and to do that effectively it was imperatively nec essary that the incompetent, faithless and dishonest should be turned out, and that tho vast partisan preponderance should be transferred to the side of tho winning party. Reform cannot bo achieved with agents who are opposed to the desired ob ject. “The President does not take this view. Ho believes that the work can bo accom plished by retaining Republicans in their places, and thus virtually declaring that a broad establishment of his own party in departments of the government is a ques tion of small importance to him. This theory has necessarily provoked the ‘dis content of party friends’ referred to in the message, and it has led to much alienation, which can no longer be concealed. “A hope was cherished that this ill feel ing might be removed by a frank and manly interchange of opinions between Mr. Cleve land and eminent Democrats with no selfish aspirations to gratify. The President's message nmy bo said to have closed this door at the very time when it should have been kept wide open. He lias large power and a reserve of vast patronage. Ry adher ing to bis present position he may imperil the next House of Representatives and the Presidency. Rut he cuunot change the opinion nor weaken the purpose of the Democracy; and any attempt to build up a personal, or a so-called people’s party, will merely make a victim of whosoever under takes to try the experiment. land’s accomplishments, he should be I ATTEMPTED ASSASSINATION, credited with being considered a very deft j A Moon.hi.rer Cock. HI. Quo on a Keve- A Free Trade Convert. The Japanese are known as people who have no prejudices, not even such as other people imbibe from either education or as sociation or both. Many Japanese youths are educated in tho colleges of this country. They are all taught free trade in their political economy lessons. A correspon dent of the Philadelphia Press has reccutly interviewed an attache of the Japanese embassy at Washington, with this result: I found Mr. Akabano a very intelligent young man, who had been educated in this country and afterwards appointed secretary ot legation at 8t. Petersburg and subsc queutly to Rerlin. Ho told me that his countrymen studied the various systems of political economy and were greatly inter ested in the most advanced European thought on this subject For his own part, he had been educated at Yale and had re ceived his theoretical political economy from a well-known free-trade pro fessor there.' Having completed his studies. he spont some years in Germany, and soon becamo convinced that practically tho only course open to na tions was the policy of protection. *1 think,’ hauI Mr. Akabane, with a foreign ac cent ‘that your New England professors need to travel aud study the conditions and experience of other nations before they enunciate so loudly their doctrines. Look ing out from their own narrow surround ings, they do not see all, and moreover they are behind the advanced economic thought of such nations as Germany, and surely they will not say Germany has no scholars and thinkers. With profound respect for my former teachers, I would advise them to travel und to study, and then, I think, their views would not be so one-sided.’ When remonstrated with by a Democratic Senator aboat a bad appointment, this was the reply: “I don’t care any more for this discontent,” said the President, “than the mountain cares for the zephyr that blows over its top.” The language is highly poet ical. Translated into prose, it reads: “The Democratic party be d—d.” At the meeting of the Chicago Baptist ministers, the Rev. Dr. Kortlirup gave the result of his study of Sam Jones and Sam Small. There was, be said, an element of grtmsness ami vulgarity about them, and yet, to his mind, Sam Jones was “a com bination of Bob Ingersoll and John the Baptist.” The points of similarity between Bob an Sam the first may not be hard to find, but wc never heard that John the Baptist chewed plug tobacco, handed round his bat, sold hi t sermons, boarded at first- class hotels, or secured the services of an advance agent. J. R. R. wbitks to tne Chronicle: “Ac cording to some friend* of the President he is a temperance man, but no bigot; Christian, but no fanatic; a firm man, with out hypocrisy; a politician without diplo macy, a patriot without finesse; and poker player who win* or loses without any visible sign of emotion. A* he generally rakes in the pot when playing cards, it surmised, with some plausibility, that he will, whatever happen* to other people, take good care of himself. Considering the , fateful character of tue man and hi* re- There appear* to be another Standard Oil concern in Ohio: Some two years ago, J. V. Lewis, an extensive manufacturer of cotton seed oil in Cincinnati, conceived the idea of forming a pool intended to control the price of the commodity. According to a St. Louis dispatch to the Chicago Tribune, his efforts have succeeded, a corporation having been formed known as tho Cotton Oil Trust Company, which controls every desirable mill west of the Mississippi river and 50 per cent, of tho mills of the en tire country. The capital stock of the company is placed at $20,000,000, of which bout $17,000,000 has been issued to tho mills bought by the pools. The plan of procedure is as follows: “If the officers of the company decide that a cer tain factory should be subject to pool con trol, the owner is approached and invited to sell his property. If it is unincumbered and in good working order, he is given cer tificates to the amount of three times the value of bis mill. For less valuable proper ty Icsh is paid. If the mill thus bought can he operated with a profit, tho trust company places in it a superintendent of its own and takes possession of the property. From that time the mill is run as the best inter ests of the company dictate, the output being regulated by the current price of the cotton seed products.” A Washington dispatch to tho Boston Herald says: “The commissioner of inter nal revenue says that the present year will show a very large increase of receipts in his department over last year. Tho first six months showed an increase of over $1,500,- 000, and the second half year will show more than that in all probability. Indica tions now are tbat there will be a largo in crease about the 1st of May, when tho now- annual licenses are issued. The entile in crease for the year will without doubt be over $3,000,000. The prospects of internal revenue are said bo an excellent indication of a general revival of business, and a gen eral improvement is thought to be manifest in many kinds of business. Enormous cap ital that has been waiting for employment now moving. It is said that nearly all the railroads are increasing their rolling stock, a thing that has not been done for several years past. Besides this, thousands of miles of new road uro to be built this year, aud other thousands of miles are be ing planned. This, of course, means the employment of enormous capital and ar mies of men. Tho greatest thing to be feared, it is said, is that this new* impetus may ad vance prices to such an extent that there will be a geueral rush to production, and the old stagnation will result. Tho impor tant thing is that prices remain about as they now are, and that speculation be held iu cheek. nue Officer. Atlanta, March 11.—The moonahlner* of Jasper count? §re said to be more desperate and danger- oua than are even those of the North Georgia mountain fastnesses. Early yesterday morning Deputy Collector Chisolm anl three other deputies made a raid on a distillery belonging to M. N. Wil liams. who live* ia Jaspeanot far from Jackson, in liutta county, Mr. Williams enjoys tho repute o{ being the "oldest rat in the corn crib," and is known to be desperate. The |raid on the distillery proved the old man has some claim on his reputation, for the still was not in the dia tiUery. After search, it was found in Mr. Williams’s cellar. As Mr. Chisolm was just near tho house. Williams raised a double-barrel shot gun and aimed it at his back. Just as he clicked the trigger cock ing it. Deputy Miller came around a corner of the house. As quick as sight he drew a rille bead Mr. Williams and told him if he moved he would dead man. Upon that Mr. Williams capitu lated. The still waa taken and carried to Jackson. Mr. Willi*ms followed it there.and had Deputy Chis olm placed under arrest for trespass. Last night the magistrate aud sheriff began to see tbeir guilt in interfering with a Federal officer iu the discharge of his duty, and Mr. Chisholm was dismissed from hock. r, strange as it may seem to many that Wil liams was not arrested, yet tho law is such that he could not be without a Federal warraut. These internal revenue officers can only arrest men with- warrant whom they catch in the act of violat ing the revenue laws. Deputy Special Internal Revenue Officer Colquitt, who had joined the officers at Jackson, piloted them back to a place near Locust Grove, in Henry county, where they captured an eighty-gallon still with fix tures complete.

Atlanta, although in many respects re. ganled as a healthy city, is not unlike all other inhabitable portiona of the earth n claiming her rhare of victims of the mon arch of all dreaded ailments—blood poison, A Constitution man was delegated to inves. tigate some of the most notable coses in At Inntu, anil in his rounds made the following appalling discoveries: 6 flllss Cliiiimutn Interviewed, -‘My name is Mary Chapman, and I Hr, at the corner ot V llUsms and Cox streets.

They have at tracted large and curious audiences by their strange sounds, but the city cannot be said to havo gone wild over them, nor yet to have been shaken to any appreciable extent by their preaching or meetings. They havo 'drawn," nevertheless, and from all classes, but U probably not putting the ea™ too strongly to remark tbat with all of tho ad- ertising they have received they have somehow failed to impress the church at large as they were expected to, or aa they have been re ported to have done in other cities they have visited. The meetings which were in progress when they came hero have gone on with unabated interest, and there has been no upheaval ot any kind, and instead of the winiiters as a class putting their shoulders to the wheel and welcoming thorn with ont- stretched arms and glad hearts, they ap pear to have been engaged in patting tbeir heads together and debating in whispers the probable effect of their visit and work. In n word, the ministers and staid churchmen generally, with very few exceptions, somehow seem to have been overtaken by a degree of coolneui little expected, and the evangelists have evidently felt it. The cause ia not definitely known, of course, but there are those in the conuunnity who claim that they have mistaken Chicago for a back- woods village or mining camp, and that their pnlpit style has been absolutely offensive, their language shocking at times, and their influence calculated to debase rather than elevate the cause of religion. But, be this as it may, there baa boon a noticable want of enthusiasm on tho part of the religions element of the city over their coming and pretence—n proposition which can not he successfully gainsaid."
