Under Low
Democratic Success
Tariff.
Philadelphia Record.
Senator Joe Brown’s guerilla organ,
the Atlanta Constitution, affects to at
tach much importance to a rumor that
President Cleveland will not permit
the use of his name for re-nomination.
The organ trusts that the rumor is
“without foundation,” and hopes that
the President will not shrink from a
contest on the tariff platform which he
has adopted. There is little doubt that
the Democratic party and the Presi
dent will do their whole duty in the'
premises, without consulting disorgan
izes and guerillas in any quarter. 'J he
Atlanta Constitution's “Democratic”
hope of Cleveland’s re-nomination is
fortified by the cheerful trust that he
will be beaten, on the assumption that
“no man has ever been found who
' could lead the party to victory on that
line.”
If no better foundation can be dis
covered for the hope of 1 resident
Cleveland’s defeat than this false
historical assumption, Senator Brown’s
organ is building up a very frail basis.
Andrew Jackson, in his message to
Congress in December, 1832, recom
mended a gradual diminution oi duties
to the revenue, standard “as soon as a
just regard to the faith of the govern
ment ancl to the preservation of the
large capital invested in establishments
of domestic industry will permit. ’
That is precisely the position of Presi
dent Cleveland’s message, of the Mills
tariff bill and of the Democratic party.
Andrew Jackson led the party to victo
ry on that line, and with undiminished
popularity transmitted his political
power and policy to his Democratic
successors.
President Pierce was elected in 1852,
and President Buchanan in 1856, on the
same line of policy, while the fiee
trade” tariff of 1846 was in full and suc
cessful operation. Will any pretended
Democrat in Georgia, or elsewhere,
undertake to assert that the Mills bill
is as radical a measure of tariff reduction
as was the tariff of 1846? During the
operation of this tariff the Democratic
party achieved some of its greatest vic
tories over the party of protection.
While the Democratic party flourished
under “free trade,” the high tariff Whig
party went to pieces. There was then
almost entire harmony in the Demo
cratic ranks on this question, from
Maine to Georgia, Since 'that time
some remnants of the defunct Whig
party have crept into the bosom of De
mocracy to sow dissension and heresy
in its organization. But while these
remains of ancient high tariff Whiggery
may temporarily embarrass and obstruct
the Democratic party, they should not
be permitted to guide its councils and
dictate its policy. Of this fact Mr.
Samuel J. Barnhill affords a melan
choly example. One or two less notable
examples are about to be given in
Georgia, whose Democratic Repre
sentatives in Congress, with the solita
ry exception of Senator Joe Brown,
cordially support the tariff message of
the President and the principles em
bodied in the Mills tariff bill.
John C. Breckenridge, the Secretary of
War, Mr. Davis set out to join the re
mainder of the Confederate forces in
Alabama.
What was left of the Confederate
Treasury, between 8500,000 and $600,-
000, had been sent to Abbeville, S. C.,
by rail, which was transferred to wag
ons and sent across the Savannah river.
When the vicinity of the little village
of Danburg, about twelve miles from
Washington, was reached, a party of
raiders fell upon the treasure train and
captured most of the money. The
Pederals were iii hot pursuit and suc
ceeded in recovering about $125,000.
This circumstance has given rise .to
almost as many romantic tales of hid
den treasure as the story of Capt. Kidd,
the celebrated buccaneer. It was ru
mored at one time that a large amount
of the treasure had been thrown into a
deep creek, near the scene of the pil
lage. A number of gold hunters flock
ed to the spot, the creek was dredged,
and the adjacent fields dug up and
sifted. One of the seekers more enter
prising than the rest dammed up the
creek and pumped the water out by
means of a steam engine, but no trace
of the hidden treasure was ever, discov
ered.
After the last Cabinet meeting of
the Confederacy at Washington, the
members separated, going in differ
ent directions. Mr. Davis and Post
master-General Reagan went toward
Macon and were captured May 10,1865,
near the village of Invinville, which is
about 175 miles north of Brunswick.
has been slowest in Texas, Kentucky,
Arkansas, Mississippi and Louisiana.
The manufacturers express great confi
dence that the business has not yet ap
proached the line at which it is in dan
ger of being overdone, but they are
wisely making preparation to vary the
lines of production, especially in the
direction of a better class of goods.
It might be expected that this mar
velous increase in the cotton manufac
turing capacity of the South would
have damaged the same industry in
New England and other Northern
States. This does not, seem to have
been the case, as a summary of the cot
ton industry in New England, furnish
ed recently by Bradstreet’s, shows that
the average dividends of the companies
in that section for the year just closed
were larger than for 18S6, and as a rule
fairly remunerative. According to the
same authority the mills are now run
ning to their full capacity, with goods
in many instances sold ahead of pro
duction. This is but another way for
saying that the increased production of
the South is all absorbed by the in
creasing and prosperous population of
that section. •
Curious Coincidences.
Brunswick (Ga.) Journal.
A curious coincidence is that the
last cargo of slaves brought to the
United States was landed ohJekvl Is
land, which is now the rendezvous of
NTorthern millionaires.
A law had been passed prohibiting
the importation of slaves and was
stringently enforced, but Charles A. L.
Lamar, a wealthy citizen of Savannah,
chartered the famous ship Wanderer,
and obtained a cargo of negroes on the
coast of Guinea. An attempt was made
to land near Savannah and then at
Port Royal, but the officers of the law
were found to be on the alert at those
points, and the Wanderer was brought
to Jekyl, where a landing was effected.
Mr. Lamar was arrested, however,
and subjected to great inconvenience,
but managed finally to escape the pen
alty of the act by the expenditure of a
large sum of money and through the in
fluence of his family and friends.
Speaking of curious coincidences, it
is wonderful how many in connection
with the late war occurred in the vi
cinity of Washington, a beautiful vil
lage in the interior of Georgia, The
parents of Jefferson Davis lived at
Washington, his father having been
buried there. Mr. Davis was born ac
cidentally in Kentucky, near the birth
place of Abraham Lincoln. Alexander
H. Stephens, Vice-President of the Con
federacy, was born about six miles from
Washington, and Robert Toomlis, Sec
retary of State, was a native and resi
dent of the place, while Reagan, Camp
bell and Walker, members of the Con
federate Cabinet, were born in the vi
cinity. The last official acts of the
Confederate government were perform
ed in Washington, thus constituting it
the Capital of the Confederacy, hence
at one time this country had two capi
tals, and both were named Washing
ton.' Washington, Ga., was the first
town named for the father of his coun-
^After the fall of Richmond and Lee’s

Hog Cholera—Useful Rules.
In case of liog cholera the Nebraska
Farmer gives these twelve rules.
1. If an outbreak exists to remove all
absolutely well hogs, as far as the eye
can see, to a new pen on new land
where there has never been any dis
ease, and leave the sick or suspiciously
ailing ones in the old pen.
2. To watch most carefully at every
feeding time the hogs removed and at
once cut out every animal that does
not “go for his feed like a hog” or
which betrays the slightest weakness in
the movement,
3. To have a person take care of these
hogs who does not go near or have any
thing to do with the sick ones.
4. Not to allow the farm dog to run
about free.
5. Place the new pens at such a dis
tance from the home buildings and old
grounds where the sick hogs are that
hens cannot pass from one to the other.
6. Never put well hogs into places
where hogs have been sick or died if
you can in any way provide new quar
ters, and on no account put them in
such places under two years from the
time when such hogs have all died or
been sold, and then only when the bot
tom boards of such pens have been re
moved and burned and the earth under
them dug out for 18 inches, and drawn
and spread loosely over the earth out
side of the pens, the place being filled
up by new and fresh earth from anoth
er part of the farm.
7. Remember this, the pen and each
of the yards, all hay or straw stacks
and such refuses are places which pro
tect and preserve the cause of hog chol
era, and that the removal of everything
that has belonged to a herd that has
been affected is no means of prevention
protection from another outbreak
on the same grounds.
8. Never place hog pens or runs near
running water that comes to you from
or outside of your own land. Water
your hogs from the well.
9. Never bury your sick hogs along
the banks of a running stream, because
it is easier to shovel the dirt upon them
from the bank than to dig a hole and
bury them.
10. Burn them when possible.
11. Don’t sell sick or exposed hogs to
your neighbors. This is a civil crime,
if not against the animal disease laws of
the State.
12. Be watchful, careful and diligent
and you can control hog cholera.
ed if called gamblers. I know a man
who always gambles with his barber.
When he goes to get shaved he always
throws dice before he sits down to see
if he will have a shampoo at the bar
ber’s expense. Then they throw for
the price of a bath, then the cigars and
the drinks. The man is in business in
Clarke street, and never played a card
in his life or bet on a horse race or a
game of ball. But he tells me that the
minute he gets shaved a spirit of gam
bling comes upon him in a way that is
irresistible.
Ferdinand De Lesseps.
The Epoch.
M. de Lesseps is about to visit the
Isthmus again. The astonishing activ
ity of this man of 82 is a never-ending
theme for those who observe the career
of the “grand Frenchman,” as Ganibet-
ta called him. Whatever we Ameri
cans may think of the Panama Canal,
we must admit that the promoter of
the scheme is one of the most remarka
ble men of the age, and one of the most
sympathetic. With Lamartine and
Victor Hugo he is the most universally
popular Frenchman of this century.
M. de Lesseps gets liis wonderful ac
tivity from the paternal side, his fath
er having been one of those sprightly
Marseillaise who never kept still a long
while at a time. His mother was a Cat
alonian, and on her side he inherits his
deliberative qualities. Most persons
who have a general idea of M. de Les
seps’ career think he is an engineer,
and ignore that he began life as a di
plomatist. To be sure lie quitted the
diplomatic service in 1849, so the pres
ent generation may be excused for not
remembering that before digging can
als he was a promoter of peace on land.
M. de Lesseps’ father was also a diplo
matist, and at the beginning of the
century visited America for the pur
pose of negotiating a commercial treaty
between France and our country.
To see the distinguished looking and
alert gentleman on the boulevard, or
galloping along on horseback, accom
panied by seven or eight of his chil
dren, no one would ever suppose that
he was in his 83d year, and that he had
had eleven children by his second wife,
whom he married on the day the Suez
canal was inaugurated. A few weeks
ago some of the numerous enemies of the
Panama scheme started the report of
M. de Lesseps’ death. To a friend who
called at the house to learn the truth
of this rumor the 'celebrated French
man replied: “Some good souls "have
said that I was dead; you see I am
still alive. Others have pretended that
my leg is broken. If those who started
this story will come and see me I will
prove to them by a well-known move
ment that my leg is in very good con
dition.”
M. de Lesseps lives in the Avenue
Montaigne in a spacious hotel that he
bought three years ago from the Prin
cess de Beauveau. On the day of his
marriage in 1869, his father-in-law gave
him 100,000f. to invest, not knowing
himself where best to place his daugh
ter’s benefit. At that moment the shares
were worth 250f., and faith in the fu
ture canal was not very strong. M. de
Lesseps put the 100,000 into Suez stock,
and in 1S85 they had produced 1,500,-
OOOf. With this he bought the hotel
for Mme. de Lesseps.

There is a thirst for gold in Paris this
season that nothing seems to allay. A
great many of the handsomest evening
gowns worn at the many receptions
and balls—that are rendering this sea
son one of the gayest on record—have
some gold in their composition; now in
the form of gold-bead fringes, forming
a glittering shower panel and plastron;
now interwoven in the material itself,
whether silk or satin, gauze or tulle, or
applied with the embroidery needle
upon such light silken tissues as Ben-
galine, or in the shape of passemente
ries—arabesques executed in gold, gilt
beads and spangles, which suit heavier
tissues such as faille and velvet. Per
sian milliners, having used gold trim
mings in great profusion for dressy
winter bonnets, are ready to resort to
it again for early spring, having discov
ered some new and exquisite harmo
nious combinations of gold filigrain
with colors, out of which are wrought
garlands of leaves in high relief, and
fine lace-like tracery to be mounted on
bonnets made of quilted tulle, the tint
ed meshes of which are slightly bur
nished with gold. This same lace
tulle composes pretty little poufs for
the hair, with a few sprays of aigrette,
gilt grasses, ears of corn, or small flow-
erletts in filigrain. Lilies of the val
ley, hyacinths, and fernfronds in gold
look very well also with bias of green
velvet maiden hair, or as a finish to
a ribbon rosette of the same color as
the dress; colored gauze butterflies, too,
are set in a tiny sheaf of metallic
grasses, and a couple of peacock’s
feathers painted with gold dust may be
treated in the same way.

So much has been said of the mar
velous growth of the iron industries
in the South that public atten
tion has been drawn from another
industry, which is of long standing
and of equal if not greater importance.
Formerly the South grew cotton to be
manufactured elsewhere, buying its
manufactured cotton goods in British or
Northern markets. That this will be
necessary much longer is not likely,
judging by the growth of the cotton
manufacturing industry in that section
since 1SS0.
The Manufacturer's Record, of Balti
more, recently presented a carefully
prepared statement of the growth and
condition of this industry in the South.
The exhibit is remarkable. In 1SS0
there were in the thirteen Southern
States 179 cotton mills, containing 713,-
3S9 spindles, and 15,222 looms. In 1SS7
this number had grown to 294 mills,
with 1,495,145 spindles and 34,006 looms.
With the additions now in construction
in a number of the larger mills, the
total spindles in operation will soon be
increased to 1,736,000, with 38,000 looms.
The product of the mills has increased
in value from $21,000,000 in 1880 to
$43,000 in 1SS7. In other words, seven
years have doubled the cotton mill ca
pacity in this section.
While every Southern State, except
Florida, has been affected to some ex
tent by this boom in cotton manufac
turing, Georgia, Maryland, the Caro-
linas, Alabama and Tennessee have

I met a lottery-mad man at dinner
to-day. He is a companionable sort of
fellow, attentive to business, a good
husband, but mad on lottery. Like most
men who have a weakness for sporting,
he believes that lie will some day make
his fortune off a dollar ticket. He told
me how nearly he came to it once. One
of his friends, who knew the number
he held, told him that he had just seen
the drawings and that his ticket had
drawn $6,000. They immediately start- j
ed out and made a collection of friends
as they traveled. They dined on ter
rapin and all the concomitants, and
traveled largely by carriage until they
had made a day and a night of it, when
the lottery-mad man discovered that
his friend had made a mistake, but not
until more than $200 had been thrown
away. But he is still buying jqst the
same, and believes that his lucky star
is coming up in the course of time.
Now that this subject is up I call to
mind a certain business man on Monroe
street who is a lunatic on policy. But
he has not always been a loser. He has
a curious way of getting what he calls
lucky numbers. He meets an acquaint
ance and, stopping him suddenly, he
says: “Give me three numbers quick,
and after a while I will tell you what I
mean.” He takes the three and goes
off to a policy shop. He told me he
never failed to win when he gut his
numbers in this way, but be always lost
when he played liis own numbers.

will find who are gambling in a curious
way every day of their lives, and yet
