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 tho Herald has quoted Mr. Cleveland correctly, the officials he has appointed in Georgia have no sympathy with Ida views. commission can load up the depart ments with its favorites from any State or locality they may select.

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 Mb.

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 furnished the fanner by the manufacturing Industries ol the country. Protectionist! should show to farmers the advantages that a dlraralDed industry gives them in affording them a remedy and good market. It It not hero a question as to how tt affects da'ly wages, but how it streets the price ot hogs and beef cattle. There is a whole tariff sermon con tained witliin the lost two lines of this article. The foliosing la the new regulation in regard lo the redemption of mutilated United States notes: United States notes, each exceeding nine-tenths of its origlntl oportiona in one piece, are redeemable at their full face value in other United Stales notes by the treasurer and the sev eral assistant treasurers if the United States, and are redeemable In coin, in sums not less than five dollars, by the assistant treasurer in New York. 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 urement of the heights of waves give from 41 to 43 feet as an extreme limit. The average height of great waves Is about 30 feet. These measurements refer to ordi nary marine action, aitd do not relate to earthquake action or other exceptional agencies. >of 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 came of failure la attributed to the re fuel of the Green Front saloon to looger carry the president oa its slate without old 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 office, bat wu rejected by first Auditor Chenowlth on the, ground that he waa a Re publican and distasteful lo Comgnaaman Wu nerand tha Democrats of bla neighborhood bu tola morning boon appointed by order of Secretary Manning to the, place for which ha wu certified.

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. Mr. Ra-daff.

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 land should reward them with honor able and remunerative offices in return (or the support they gave him ia the presidential election ?

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.
