It is a well established fact that all

The advantages of foreign trade are
everywhere admitted. It is apparent
that this trade cannot be secured with
out the means of communication nec

penurious, short-sighted and niggardly
in dealing with its shipping of any first-

by the Democrats of the entire country,
and the opinion of all good and true
citizens. The term “offensive parti
san,” so far as the South is concerned,
lias at length taken tangible shape.
Under this interpretation official heads
in the South should fall like grain be
fore tho sickle, and the first frost of tho
coming fall should find the real people
for the first timo In near a quarter of a
century in charge of the Federal busi
ness which affects them and their
home government.
Mr. Cleveland lias commenced at
first, of communication with foreign
countries, and secondly of trade with
those countries.
The debates in Congress
touching these questions have
developed the most unpar
donable ignorance on the part of our
legislators, and from no other section
of the country has a greater lack of in
telligence prevailed than among the
representatives of the South.
The same rot in reference to “sails
that whitened every sea,” etc., in
dulged twenty years ago, is still the
stock in trade of the political cranks
and demagogues who have unfortunate
ly found their way into Congress, and
who, by virtne of this fact, have con
trol of this question. They have learn
ed nothing and are incapable of learn
ing anything beyond an adjustment to
the predilections and prejudices of
constituencies, formed upon tradi
tions that have been exploded
by the experience of latter years
There is not a people on the face of
tho earth who have appreciated or
practiced tho policy of subsidizing all
great interests, for the development of
which large amounts of capital arc
requisite, to a greater extent than the
American people. Every government,
national, state and municipal, through
out the country has, at some time, in
vested Urge amounU of money for this
purpose. The gem-rnl government has
in tho racific railroad land grants and
indorsementa, contributed hundreds of
millions of dollars to secure railroad
the leaders of the Republican party in
the South. They have been the active
politicians to rally the negroes, to call
conventions and then to pack them.
They are tho fellows who have had
coalitions and understandings with cer
tain professed Democrats, have divided
offices with them and their kin, in
view of the day which should mark the
work in which Mr. Cleveland is now
engaged. The fourth-class offices can
be attended to later. When the big
rascals are turned out, the little ones
will get out. This work has not been
commenced any too soon, and now that
a beginning has been made it cannot
be prosecuted too rapidly.
There can be no mistakes made about
taming ont all holders of Republican
commissions in the South. It must be
admitted that tho danger lies in ap
pointing their successors. This may
be avoided by the appointment oi
straight Democrats. When Georgia is
readied we shall bo prepared to famish
an infallible rale for tho guidance of the
administration.
A Word with the Preeldant.
President Cleveland has turned
attention to Virginia and is disposing
of the rascals after the most approved
fashion. AVe areinlormed that hewlll,
as soon as this more important busi
ness has been gotten thoroughly under
way, pay attention to Georgia and
other Southern States. This cannot
occur too soon.

and the Atlanta convention hail the
courage and independence to go upon

It must be evident to every man of
intelligence that this convention, in
point of practical business sense, was,
as a body, far aujierior to any Congress
that has assembled in many years,
The reason la plain. It waa largely
composed of successful business men.
In this day it requires a higher
order of men to conduct the

intelligent, broad and progressive; and
the active participation of the classes
