The Augusta Chronicle has upon its edi torial staff a genuine prophet. Ho says: Mo, Senator Colquitt w.ll not enter the cabinet. Ha wiU remain In the Senate till his term expire*; thereupon the next General Assembly will return him foranother elx years terrain tbe meet note- Us deliberate body In the world-a body In which ha has serred hi* condiment*, special and general, falthfnl and moat honorable; a body In which ha la destined to win still greater distinction. The unanimity with which the press of Georgia is standing up to Senator Colquitt muit be very gratifying to that gentleman. It mutt be still more gratifying to him to know that in this matter the press voloes the sentiment of tbe people of this state, A few weeks ago a Georgia daily newspaper declared that Senator Colquitt mast be de feated because he does not favor tbe repeal of the internal revenne. If that pronun. oiamento, ultimatum, threat, or whatever else it mey be oalled, found an eoho in a single paper in thie state the fact baa es- oaped cur attention. We hope that before themxt Senatorial election rolls aronnd onr solitary contemporary will repent and be forgiven, lteccntly it has shown pro- noe.'noed symptoms of loneliness, and we wonid not be surprised to see it join the procession. Clear the Track. The New York Uail and Express la indig nant because President Cleveland and Mr. Carlisle are having frequent oonferenoes on the Itariff issue. This is natural. When those two Democratic leaders pnt their heads together it is enongh to aronse the in dignalion of protectionist organs. Had President Cleveland consulted Mr. Randall instead of Mr. Carlisle, tbe Mail and Ex press would have been delighted. No tariff polioy whioh Mr. Randall would probably advise would have any terrors for the bonnty-fed monopolies. Bat when the President chooses Mr. Carlisle as his counsellor on this great qneitlon the esae is very different It means that something is going to be done in tho direotion of gen uine tariff reform. We are confident that the administration and the Dsmooratio ma jority in tbe Hotue, led by Mr. Carlisle, will bo in complete sympathy on the meth ods of tariff reform. It is time for those who would obstruct this movement to cleat the track, whether they oall themselves Re publicans or Democrats. Tbe people of Dakota have voted by a large majority that they want their Teni- tory divided, and the Southern half ad mitted as a State. Tbe Territory aa a whole wonid stand a better chance of admission. Tbe thinly-peopled States of the fat West have too mneb weight in the government now, and they have a habit of sending mill ionaires to the Senate which tbe people of the country do not like. M. Climenciau, the Radical leader in Franoe, has made it his btuinesa for years to destroy ministers, and he has been won derfully ancoessfal. The time seems to have come when he may become a minis ter himself, if he uill. The world will then see whether he hai any govtrnlog ability or U tha mere apostle of disorder which many thought him daring the days of the Commune. Captain Bunak of the Atlanta, thinks hit vessel nneeawortby. Secretary Whitney disagrees with him, and preposes to settle ' tbe question by sending her to sea in storm. BhonldJ be carry ont his intentioo, the oeptaln would, to say the least, pltced in an embarrassing position. He wonid have to drown or loss hie reputation at a naval expert. Parsons’ saccet>sor at editor of the Alarm oouipVius that Asxrchlxis do not support his p per as they should. Perhaps a recent object lesson baa taught them that too ardent eupport of the Alum mey put them in a position in whieb better support than tha ropes furnished by the State will be necessary to saYe their lives. The batter grades of coal now tell for t? a ton in New York, on account of tbe Le high Valley strike. The poor in the cities ■offer and the thousands of idle miners are living on tha charily of fallow workman. The only people who seem to be satisfied are the mine operators, who sell less coal for more money, What the President Will Smy. The Fiftieth Congress will meet one week from next Monday. On that d»y the Pres ident's annual message will be read. Of course, nobody knows exiotly wbat recom mendations the Preeldent will make in the exercise of bis fnDctiong as a co-ordinate faotor in national legislation. Still there are some very dear indications aa to the course he will pursue in reference to tbe greet praetical questions of the day. The well-informed and reliable Washington cor respondent of the St. Lonis Republican says: There le natural;? very great cariosity Just how ta the feetaree tbe President will make most prcmloent la hie message to Congress. It le known that he la actively at work preparing tbe meaeaga, bat not very ranch more then that gets cut to any. body. The Preeldent, of comee, doea not take any one very deeply Into hie confidence in this milter, for the purpose of ncqualntlhg the pablio with whet ho will have to tell Congreaa when it aasem- blaa. On one point however, It 1* quite pooalble •ay, In n general way, what the meeeage will con tain. Ita leading and moat lmpprtant feature la to tho qnaotlon of tax reduction. The President elll urge lo the moat emphatic word* that bo can command tbat Congreaa give early attention to the reduction of the excite taxation, which la burden log the treaaury with money for which ;0 outlet He will aey that the only practi cable method to prevent a ralnoue glut of money the treaaury la to make a big cut la botb Internal and cuatoma tale*. The President will follow cioioly the lino mapped ont In the Bepubllcan laat inmmer, urging Congreaa to repeal tha Internal rev* enne tax upon tobacco and make a very concldera- .a cut in tha tariff. It la known that he hae boon mating a thorough etudy of the tariff qncatlon during the Congreaalonal race**, and the remit of hie Inquiries haa both to itrengtbeu him more than ever Id tha advocacy of a genuine and- aubatantlal tariff reform. There la no manner of doubt that hla meaaago will bare a dear, abarp ring In tbla re aped, and will be entirely setiefectory to tbo most friends of tariff rtfurm In the country. The advanced petition ahtch Secretary Manning took in hla report to Congreoa laat year marked the path too President ntll probably pureue In hla flrat meaaage to the Filtletb Congreaa. There la to be no back-down or retreat upon tha tariff qneetlon by tbe administration, and Becrettry Fairchild In hi* report will be found to bo a good step ahead even of Secretary Manning. It 1* altogether likely that the Preeldent. a* well ae tha Secretary of the Treaanry, will go luto the subject somewhat In detail, recoin* mending not eluply general proposition*, bnt 111cr- tratlng tbe counsel they extend to Congress by considerable specific detail. We believe tbat this 13 a very probable outline of the President's message so far as it will relate to tariff. It is In thorough ac cord with tbe prevailing Democratic senti ment, and Mr. Cleveland is a Democratic President It is worthy of note tbat tbe first strike of farm laborers, leading to disorder and bloodshed, ooourred in almost the only 'protected" branch of agriculture—that of sugar making. Pioticiion doea not seem to satisfy. Tbe Canadian press complain* tbat Mr. Chamberlain is American rather than Eng. liah in bia sympathies, and the New Eng- laud fisherman say Mr. Bayard leant to ward Canada lo bis view*. If botb ate tight, it ought not to be difficult for the ccmmiseionere to agree. The London Stock Exchange refuses, in spite cf Gould's pleadings, to list Western Union.

The only way to appre ciate Sullivan fully is to Eland op in front cf him.

His career was in every way honorable, until a mad freak led bim to Detroit, away from bis <]p. ties, where be became the bntt of the newspaper wits of the whole conn- try. They wonid perhaps have been more lenient had they known, what now seems plain, that bis aotions were oontrollcd by a disordered mind, and tbat a long life of usefulness was abont to oiose in gloom and disasier. In March, a member of the United States Senate, in November, sleeping, for want of better shelter, on the floor of a boarding honse hallway, imbecile and penniless, the contrast is a sharp and sad one. SHREDS AND PATCHES. The Standard OH Monopoly, The fade being broagbt ont by the ex amination of officers of the Louisville and Nashville railroad by tbe Inter State Com meroe Commission are not surprising, howrxer mnch they may shock the public sense of right andjnatioa. II19 Standard Oil Trust is the moat powerfnl and ornel monopoly which haa ever existed in this country. It oxer- olxes an enormons power, controlling great systems of railroads aa if it owned them, and completely crushing *11 rivalry where rail transportation is an element in the coat of oil production or distribution. The interstate commerce law waa more directly an ontcome of ita wrongdoing than of any other abase, and it wonid seem tbat the Trnst does not propose to bo limited in its speculations even by the authoiity of the goneral government. The man who brings tbe present oom plaint against the Louisville and Nashville railroad is one of tbe two or three oil re finers who, favored by facilities for water transportation, bavo been able to oontinne in business. Hie works are located at Ma rietta, on the OMo river, below l’ittsbnrg, and though he has been seriously crippled by railroad discrimination in favor of tho Standard Oil Treat, which haa nsed every endeavor to destroy his business, he hae fonnd a market for bis product in the river dtles of the West and Southwest. Hie efforts to reach points covered by tho Loniaville and Nashville system have led to the present proceeding* before lhe commis sion. It seemi plain, even from tbe teati- mony of Mr. Culp, that the railroad has feared the Trnst mote than the law, and haa made itself an Instrument in tho monop oly's handa to crush ont opposition. Tbis Standard Oil Trust has been in ex istence only a fear years, bat it has made many millionaires, and ita success has been ao great Ibst its plan has been adopted in many lines of industry. We have now the Bessemer iteel monopoly, tbe Grndble Steel Trnst, the Nail Association, the Goal Combination, the Lnmber Trust, the Salt GombinUioc, tbe Lead Trust, and adexen others, perhaps. They ere all modeled after the Standard Oil Trust, end their purpose is to prey on the people by preventing competition. If they grow in power aa has their great prototype, there ia no reason why they miy not oon trol tbe oonntry. The Standard ii said to have bought courts and Legislatures as well as railroads. The combined power of trusts, lings, monopolies, etc., mey some dsy control Gougrrer, Thete will be more Socialists, Anarchists and other wild revo lutionists when that day comes. There will be better reasons for their existence. THEY HOLD HIGH CARNIVAL IN THE EMPIRE OF THE CZAR.

St. Petersburg, November 9.—There ia bo much thievery in Russia tbat all the principal cities have what is known as thieves’ markets.” They are conducted openly, and little it any effort ia made to trace an article whioh goes in tbat direction. Travelers in their exasperation often declare that the authorities, the thieve! and tbe venders of the stolen artidis are banded to gether, and that the profits are divided on a fixed scale. Be tbat as it may, there is more stealing in this than any other coun try, unless probably Egypt is exoepted. Here the thieves’ market is two blooks deep, four long, and gives commercial transactions to thousands of persons. Tbe ;oods are carried in by tbe pillagers, burg- ars and footpads, sold to the shopkeepers openly, and no secret is made of the faet that the goods were stolen. The building! are mostly of brick, located in a quarter remote from the most respectable portion of the city, and tho shopkeepers live in tho seoond stories. The rooms are all filthy, oovered with vermin, filled with nanseons odor >, nnd the goods are dosty. The lazy men and women sit in front of the entrances in the narrow streets, play ohess or cards, smoke and drink tea, and show a shocking degree of depravity. They are mostly Greeks, though many are Tartars, Jews and Egyptians. The Jews are said to be the most cleanly, honorable and intelli gent. STEALING Oil SUNDAY MORNING. The thieves' market flourishes most on a Sunday moruiug, although Sunday is not generally observed here, and street im provements,✓ building of every oharaoter and trade goes forward. Bnt many people take a holiday on Sunday and spend it here. To this point I wended my way one Monday morning, and aaw a throng enoh as Five Points, New York, would have been shocked at in her palmiest days. In a win dow I sew some fluo old chinswue, bearing the private mark of Alexander I., tbe crown and seal of the empire. Immediately the shopkeeper, a woman, informed me that tbe goods Wt re stolen from the winter pal ace; aho knew it, becauso she got them di rectly from the thief, and she had handled his property before. In the centre of each blook ia a hollow square, about 150 ieet in diameter, These were filled with men, women and ohlldren, behind impiovlsed counters, selling or mak ing almost everything. tjocond-hand boots are the most popular goods, and scores of men and boya can be seen repairing them in the open air, while others go about selling them. The ground is bonldered and cov ered with sued and fleas. Pigeons and erowg, both sacredly proteoted, hop about everywhere. The crows are dark grey, with little bltek coats. Orest big Siberian hounds, muzzled, (talk abont with the multitude and give zsat to tbesoene. Train loads of old iron, oopper and leather, hoope, cast-off and new clothing, jewelry, watohes, clocks and silverware, lure, every thing that furnishes houses, man, woman, ohild and beaat, in oonlnsion and profus ion, jut lika a heap of etnff a burglar dropa when hotly pursued. It is said that thieves lloger hera after disposing of their plunder, and oiten succeed in reguming tbe property when it is purchased, end tbat goods are Stolen and rostoien a number of times in a single day or night. The scenes abont the thleres'market here are duptiosled in fonr or five places in the empire. They are as old as tbe oitlee, and the markets .having beoorno fixed institutions, no atttmpt is made to frustrate them. ■IMAXXABLY CI.EVEB WORK. I have heard a story about Russian thieves whioh iUostntee their dexterity in tbis rogard. A French noble who had auff. arid much from Utleraa at Bt. Petersburg, made a wager with a member of tho royal family that, he could prodace Russian Ihievea who would rob a man at the dinner table, and he might use tvery precaution to prevent it. To the dinner a number of gnests sat down. Tha royal Busatan nat urally supposed that one of those who eat about the board was the expert thief, and to them ho directed his attention. From tho prison one of tho moat hardened ras cals was taken, and told tbat if he wonid rob the grand dnke he should have hte lib erty. The tbiet wu dressed end aoted the part of lackey and waiter. The liveried servant moved abont with all the grace end pomp of a lord. Indeed he so lit tle resembled the adroit rogue that he wu tbat his employer began to feu u the dinner progreued that be bad made an nnwlas selection. It wu ar ranged between the muter and thief tbat when tbe latter had aeoomplirhed bie diffi onlt mission he wu to indicate it to the for- mer by a sly wink. The wine flowed, the aonp, fish, meat, game, the various entrees and relishes appeared and disappeared, and still no signal of sueeess. Finally the ci gars were passed, and u they were being lighted the thief gave the signal. Themas- ttr uked hia guest the timu of night The gneat, with clearing confidence, drew hii guard, and fonnd at the end of it instead of hU watch, adieu of Inrnlp. Then the host uked Lis gneat for some innff. Tbe box wu gone. Inquiry wu made for a beau’.ifnl ring wbtea the gneat had worn. Tn.t, too, wu absent Hit pane bed like wise disappeared. Bnt tbe moat utociab- ing part of tbe ptifoimanoe wu dlacov ered in tb* fut that not only bad the gneet of the evening been robbed, bnt the host likewise. 80 helpless ue the honest natives when robbed that they often seek witehea to trsoe the direction of the stolen property. The witeh proceed* by peculiar mtaos. Bhe mormons all the ne ghbora whom she impacts, gets a pail of water, makes a little roll tf dough to repreunt each one present, and begins in the presence of the parry to drop the balls into tha water, the theory being that when she names the thief they all will sink. Nine times ont of. ten the witeh forces a confession. I: ie a wute cf time to spptal to tbe authorities. The in- perditions of the people ue Urns tnrned to ad* i ntage. They believe it ie fu worse to te detected in crime than to make a free confession. In neuly every bedroom I have occupied in the ltusiau hostelrie* I have found a tiny ahnne. Some are over the doors, others high np in tbe corners next to the ceiling, while a few us stowed away on top of wardrobes. The preemee of the shrine ie not only a satisfaction acd a solace to the occupant cf tha room, ahenid he be a Russian, bnt a protection tu tbe landlord, for it baa not been fr< qoent that thefts ue perpetrated in tho prosecco of ahrinee. The thieves feu ahrinea more than lawfnl retribution. DRUNKENNESS EVERYwnEXE. Law* may be enacted and ptmLhmect prodded which wiU cut the 11 nasi ana of thaix thievery, bnt only education sod r change in the form of government can trad' feate some other evila. The Rouians are the moat persisting drunkards I have ever xeen. I have nevtr seen so much dranken- attention, and can be taken away after fire years by anyone who olaims it, and besides reoeive a dowery till it becomes of age. If tbo child is a female and is reared in tbe hcspital till of age or grown, every effort ie made lo wed it to a creditable man. She is educated, ihown abont, dressed well and receives a dowery at the marriage altar. They are of age when 18. The boys ue liable to military duly, and aro diimissed with 30 roubles and a salt of olothee when they become 18. B 8. Heath A TRUE WOMAN’S LOVE. ness as right here. The ambition of the men of all classes seems to be to get money enough to enpply them with vodki, nstive corn brandy, which intoxicates as qnlekly u the worst kind of American whisky, and mnst leave a terrible effeot. I am told tbat the peuants are becoming so debauched that they spend moat of their ohnrch festival davs in drnnkon ribaldry—and tbe ohnroh of Russia makes abont sixty holidays a year. The cbnrch member mnst feel, must ab et .in from meat, bnt he may get as drnnk ae a lord and make tho air redolent with his nnmasieal voioe. Bnt one cf the most lamentable features in the mnltitnde of sinfnl practices of the Russians is the moral support given to tho besriog of illegitimate ohildren. Io the eyes of Russia and Russians it is neither disgraceful nor sinfnl, nor is it unlawful for s girl to become a mother when unmarried. The Emperors of old set the example and fixed tbe standard within respeotable limits. Catharine II., who rode horseback like a man and commanded or reviewed her own troops, and who likewise oommitted vari ous indelicacies doting the reign at Mos cow, founded a magnificent hospital. She set np a oode of rnies for its government; and which are in fall force to-day, which simply gives a preminm to illegitimate childbirth. And under the fast and loose regime of the country it is hardly necessary to observe that this institution is well pat ronized; notonly this one, bnt the various others in tho oonntry which have been founded npon a like principle. At the Moscow hospital alone between 3,000 and 4,000 ohildren find a home annu ally. It is a magnificent structure, with a dowery from tho empire. No questions are asked when admission for a foundling is desired; and farther than this, means aro srovided for not only receiving tbe found ings without disclosing tho identity of the mothers, but provisions are mado for obild- births. There is alio a private entrance to this hospital, where at any honr of tbo day or night, a ohild may be brongbt, deposited in a banket, and by an automatio prooess carried to tbe reception room, and the spon sor may depart nnseen and unknown.

'And the only requisite Is persistence, with some little measure of judgment." The unrmnr grew to a clamor, bnt the speaker waa alao a woman, and a very bright one at that She waited nntil tbe tnmolt ot indignation and ejaculation bad subsided, and than preached ne the fol lowing little sermon from the above asser tion as a text: 'Of coarse, I cannot make tbla an abso lute statement, bnt it iaa very general rale, acd aa aneh baa do more than the or. tbodox number of exoeptiona.
