Lnrirs Down the Law.
Many of tho sayings attributed to Mr.
Cleveland by Washington correspon
dents are doubtless apocryphal. No
matter what bis good or weak points
may be, bo Is a man of direct methods
and few words. All who have been
near him will concur in this. He may
have said “by the Eternal" or “by
Jehovah,” under the worrlment of
some Congressman a few days since,
lie must have good control of hlmBelf
or he would before this time have used
language much rougher, and accom
panied it with a curved pitch of his
solid shoe. The correspondent of the
New York Ilorald says:
Mr. Cleveland holds, It seems, that a man
who draws a salary from the people has
right to exercise any iniluence upon the elec*
tlons beyond carting his vote. He believe*
that to have all the placemen ot one party, and
to allow them, a* baa been the evil fashion, to
take an active parijln politic*,constitutes a very
serious danger to the peace and liberty oi the
country. He is deteimlued that the officers of
the government shall take no part In politics
beyond voting, and It seems be told a Con*
gressman recently that If his friend, a Demo
crat j'ist appointed, should be caught making
a partisan use of his office for political Influ*
ence, “I’ll flip him out as quick as lightning—
as quick as I will a Republican who docs the
same."
If this he true, Mr. Cleveland may
commence his lightning flipping at
once, here in Georgia.
He has been guided in his appoint
ments down here by the leaders of the
ring, which has been enabled by a co
alition with the Republicans to hold
political power. TIub ring expects the
men, they have inducted into office, to
use every effort, by night and by day
to work to keep their patrons in place.
This ring does not recognise any
such doctrine, that a man who
is given an office shall not pay for it in
partisan service. It uses offices to car
ry out its schemes and to promote its
favorites. A specimen has been given
to us as occurring within a short time.
An official recently appointed by Mr.
Cleveland, with considerable patron
age to dispose of, was applied to by a
gentleman for a subordinate position.
He passed the examination for intelli
gence, capacity, honesty, and true
Democracy. When asked if lie would
work for Brown and Colquitt, he re
plied that in justice to his own convic
tions and the interests of tho people,
ho could not. Then he was dismissed
with the warning that no man could
get a pi ice who did not meet this last
requirement.
Mr. Cleveland has undertaken a big
job to reform two political parties. It
will take time and hard work to accom
plish the task, hut we wish him well
When he can And time for the light
ning flipping, we will engago to point
out to him some active and offensive
partisans, of some very small men. If

Ohio during the last campaign and

reasons,toCongressman Warner. While
we do not admire the civil service law
its present shape, we are free to say
that it is the duty of every officer of
the government to fairly enforce it, bo
long as stands.
Rut there is a law older and of greater
equity and force upon the general
statute book. The civil service law
has not and * cannot repeal this. It
provides that the places inthe various
departments shall bo apportioned
among tho several States and Territo
ries in relation to their representation.
But recently it has been announced
that this law, which has been practi
cally a dead letter under all Republi
can administrations, jwas to be vigo
rously enforced.
There can be no doubt that Ohio has
great many more employes in all of
the departments than she is entitled to.
Therefore, this man Keilar should have
been promptly rejected under the pro
visions of this law.
And until the law is enforced in
spirit and In letter, the civil service

The Bulletin says :
A correspondent residing In the State ot
Missouri, II. O, Orton, Esq , ot Princeton,
Mercer county, writes as follows concerning
the benefits which the farmers of his section
have derived from the protective policy by
which our manufacture! have been anstalncd:
'It la a faet that men ol middle age well re
member when the -termer in this part of tba
country hauled his meat (bacon) to the Miss
lsslppl river, whence it hat water transit to
Europe, and told ft lor V/i cents per pound.
Now tho same kind of meat cellar M to 18
cents per pound. Then wo depended on a
foreign market; now we have a domaatlc
market furnished by Iron and steel and oUer
manufactures. Then tba farmer exchanged
from SO to 75 pounds ot baeon for a foreign-
made axe; now he cau get a better one,
ot home make, lor live pounds of bacon. Then
it took the price ot the best fatted stcor to buy
80 yards of calico; now the farmer with tho
price ot such a steer can buy 1,800 yards ot
calico-a whole mile of calico! Then it took
three steen to bay two plows: now with one
steer he bays live plows. Then with one steer
be could get two and a hall kegs ot nails; now
he can sell the same kind ot steer and with
its price he can buy so to 40 kega ot natla.
"This great change comes from the market

The results ot a se-.'ts of observations
carried oat by the Hydrographical Bureau
at Washington, in order to determine the
length, depth and duration ot ocean
waves, have been published. The largest
wave observed is said to have had a length
of half a mile, and to bare spent itself in
23 seconds. Daring storms in the North
Atlantic waves sometimes extend to a
length of 500 and 600 feet, end fast from
10 to 11 seconds. The most careful mess

41 to 43 feet as an extreme limit. The
average height of great waves Is about 30

1 ho Rules of Congress,
it Is aliened, on what appears to be goal
authority, that an ctrort will be made next
winter to amend the existing rules ol the
House ot Representatives which sow giro the
committee ’ on appropriations the power ot
directing and restricting legislation by the
■Imple proOeia ol holulng back the appropria
tion bllle. The present suggestion la that ter.
ctal ol the Important appropriation bills shall
to committees which hare a special knowl-
tdga ot the subject. Thue, the navy appro
prlation bill will go to the committee on novel
affairs, and the Indian appropriation bill
the committee on Indian affairs.
By dlatrlbnUng the appropriation bills in the
matron menttonad, the mee-urea proposed
esn be more thoroughly considered than
possible when a single committee te entrusted
with the oontlderallon ot bills covering the
whole of the expenditures ot the government
Mr. Randall's friends will perhsps regard the
proposition ss an attack upon him bat the
Pennsylvania Congressman la too astute
parliamentarian to be Ignorant ol the nscesst
ty ol modifying the rules, so ss to prevent any
one man or two man, however Inllnantlal,
from becoming tha dictator or dictators ot the
House ot Representatives.—Charleston Mans
and Courier.
The News and Courier Is an indiffer
ent observer of passing political events
if it docB not know that this scheme
neither novel nor untried.
The committee of appropriations
the committee of the lower H-use
Congress. The ways and means com
mittee take* the honor,.but to use an
expression more strong than polite,
the committee of appropriation! “takes
the cake.” Nothing can begotten
through Congress that does not receive
the imprimatur of the committee on
appropriations. It not only “takca
the cake” but it takes the
floor to the exclusion of everybody else.
Attempts haTebeen mado to curtail tho
power of tliis committee, but they
have failed. We can recall one, in
which Mr. Freetrader Mills figured
very largely, very loudly and very un
successfully.
A power once obtained and enjoyed,
like a position entrenched, is pretty
safe against attack. Why Mr. Ran
dall’s friends should regard the moot
ing again of this proposition, as attack
npon him, except that it so intended,
is not clear. The rules if the House
of Representatives are like a Westing-
house airbrake, fixed for sudden stops
in the presence of danger. There is s
good deal of the show of change and
reform just now, hut there will be very
few changes in the House of Represen
tatives, and certainly not the one Indi
cated by oar Charleston contemporary.
A Leak That Should bo Stopped,
A Washington special to the Courier-
Journal says:
There la some kicking on Newspaper ltow
to-night among the newapaper fraternity,
aeema that the cornspondunts for several of
the Western and Southern papers got on to the
New York appointments twenty-four home In
advance of eereral of tho big New York city
papers.
Some ono about tho President must
leak to favoted correspondents. Tliero
is nothing connected with the pub
lic administration that should not
be as free to one correspondent
os another. The Associated
Press is being left by tho methods com
plained of. The resignation of Post
master General Hay was given to the
correspondent of the Savannah News
twenty-four hours in advance of the
other journals in Georgia, that arc pay
ing for the franchises of the Associated
Press. This same correspondent seems
to catch an underhold on tho State
Department news likewise.
Is the admiuistration picking out
organs?
A Wxarxix exchange gives this account
of the tailore of a kind of Hi Kimball
scheme: “Thegreat Tri-State Construc
tion Company is no more. It wu i
{zed by a broken down wheat • peculator in
-Chicago, and ha admitted a grocery clerk
as a silent partner. The nominal capital
was $3,000,000, and (he object wu to erect
bridges, railroads, steamboats and wheat
elevators, The paid-np capital was aev-
en-yfive cents, stTsnty of which waa con

accounts being rquarsd op.
Enforcing the Civil 0enlce Law.
The following Washington dispatch,
which has already been published in
oar columns, tells of the promptness of
Secretary Manning to inforce the civil
service law:
Owen KeUar, ef Caldwell, O- who wu cer-
Ufied by the Civil Service Commlmlon for ap
pointment to nclerkship tn the first Auditor's

The shipping statistics of the port ot
New York do not bear out the claim that
the American Dig has dlssppcared from
tha ocean. During tha month of June
549 vessels arrived at New York from
foreign countries, of which 210 carried the
stars and stripes. Ot these twenty-two
were steamships, u sgllnst 116 belonging
to Great Britain. We stand second, how
ever, even In this field, Germany eomtng
third, with twenty arrivals. In sailing
vessels ol all descriptions ws had 183 ar
rivals to England’s 102. This, tt should
be remembered, la our foreign commerce
■Imply. There Is then to be added the ar-
rivals from lbs domestic port! for the
month, amounting io all to 1,392 veuele,
alt of which, by existing 'laws, must sail
under the American fl<g. Hence It can
not be esld that the stars and stripes have
been driven from the seu. The truth ie,
probably, that the Americans are engag
ing In commerce so far u they find It
profitable.

This very sensible utterance is called
forth by the mouthiugs ot free trade
journals, because Mr. Randall was not
gerrymandered out of his district by
the Pennsylvania Republicans. It the
Pennsylvania Republicans consider
Mr. Randall a useful and efficient rep
resentative, despite his well established
Democracy, why should they not keep
their bands off him?
Is it any worse that Mr. Randall
should receive this recognition from
the Republicans than that Mr. Cleve

tion romancer, who is so fond of facta,
prepared the flaming advertisements of
the barbecue and the other attractions,
and very few people, except strangers,
were deceived.
The crowd here to-day was much smaller
than nsuai, and the scheme to
make money out of the gulled
ones was rather a failure. It Is to be re
gretted that a ctly like Atlanta will allow
nerselt to be injared by euch a gang as
manages these fourth of July affiire. The
occasion might be made a State celebra
tion here end attract the best element
from every section of Georgia. People
would be glad to come here it enm-
clent attractions were uttered that
coaid be relied on. Instead, however,
the old gang takes hold ot the day, adver
tises a lot of attractions that nobody be-
laves will be carried oat, and the reanlt is
that the old West Point crowd of nrgroes
carries the town, covert it. swarms over it,
drives decent and reipectable peo
ple from tbe street, and that
makes up the glorious Fourth. There are
a great many people in Atlanta who do
not believe in this kind of thing, and
would like to help Atlanta ou such occa
sions by vleitlng here' and bringing he-e
the better element of th ■ State. It is to
be hoped that next year they
will take the matter in hand. They can
make a $on<i fide subscription ot funds,
arrange an honest programme, carry it out
faithfully, and make the day a pleasure to
Georgians and one to be remembered. T)„l T i M/a

sary to mention who h es been Instrumental
in making tbe Fourth a nuisance to-day—
they have succeeded admirably—bat it Is
the same old crowd that thinks Atlanta
depends endreiy upon them lor her suc
cess in very enterprise. The day
has limply been a disgrace
tbe city except as a negro
jubilee, and that I am aura tbe good
people of Atlanta cld not expect nor de
sire.
Tbe great programme ot eight brass
bands dwindled down to one, and that of
tha most vlolenttype—colored. Even this
might have been excused.
A journalistic feat accomplished by
the Sunday Telegram was the Issue
of a rad lemonade sheet, striped all over
with red. It fitted in the day excellently
<nd the eeie of It allowed that Atlanta and
her vialtori can appreciate enterprise uf a
high character.

There era many ptnons in the far W*it

twelve dozen eggs a year, which sell for 20

of about $t.25 for each duck. A person
