And yet almost any general will tell yon that the South Is better off by reason ol defeat. The honor of having saved Ihe Union by a left-handed blow Welle for a claimant. The Situation In New York. The New York World will bo consid ered Democratic authority as to New York. The editor of that journal went to Chicago an enthusiastic Cleveland man, and lie was the energetic cham pion of Mr. Cleveland daring the entire campaign. The World was recognized as the special organ of the Democracy, and its tireless fight on the tariff issue did more to satisly the doubters on this point than any other jsurnal. In consideration of the work of Mr. Pulitzer, he was nominated and elected to Congress from one of the districts in New York City, by a large majority, witli a view of securing his support to the administration when it should he installed. Under these circumstances, El ' T * the World may be taken as a good wit ness as to the present condition of afl'airs in that State. In answer to a correspondent, the World makes this reply: Undoubtedly Mr. Cleveland's policy up to this time baa given more comfort to Mug wump. than to Hickory Democrats. But tue President undoubtedly meant well. He la hampered by existing laws and la confronted by a boattle Eepubltcan Senate. He la alio somewhat inexperienced. Tbo election in this State tn November will certainly be a teat ot tbo strength ol bla administration. We trust that tbe faction! here will bs harmonized In duo time, and that tbe whole party will be In a better mood by tbo lit ot November than It ia to-day. It la tbe duty ot the parly, under any clrcumatancea, to make a good State tick et cud elect It. By no m should Democrats bo persuaded give tbe Republicans a "walk-over." Tbo Democratic party and tbe principles It repre ■entaareol more consequence than Grover Cleveland. To attempt to rebuke tbo admin titration by surrendering New York to tbe Re publican! would be a fatal mistake. Hr. Cleve land's case will probably come up In tbe next national Democratic convention. The contest in Now York is to ho by common consent, a test of the admin istration, and yet when the election comes off, the administration will have done nothing, beyond the change of of ficials in New York and other States, It will have announced no definite pol icy, nnd will not have measured strength with a hostile Senate, or met the complaints of its friends in the lower house. It would seem that the administration then will he at some disadvantage. The more reason for the faith and support of its friends. The World doesn’t disguise the fact that tbo present situation in New Y'ork is not satisfactory, bat it is eminently correct in the view that it cannot be bottered by surrendering the State to the Repub licans. Mr. Cleveland may hav pleased the Mugwumps better than tiie Democrats. This is unfortunate, but this situation may hereafter be rc- ersed. Mr. Cleveland and -his friends will surely support the Democratic nominee for Govomor of Now York. It is by no means assured that the Mugwumps will do the same. There is an intimation that Mr, Cleveland’s case may come up in 1888, His own declaration and that of his friend, inslat that he will not go before another Democratic convention. Be this as it may. If he can unite tiie Now York Democracy,if he can make it certainly Democratic, and if New York can for a second time in forty years succeed In electing a Democratic Sena tor, Mr. Cleveland need have no lean to tbe verdict on his case in any con vention. S he Democratic administration is not ought not to be above criticism, but it should be afforded a full and fair trial before it may be made the subject of quarrel. road commission of this State impor tant and necessary. One of the arguments used in tbe debate waa that Georgia should pre vent the possibility of Goulds and Vanderbilts in this State. What are tiie facta? Vanderbilt in herited much of hla wealth. Like Jay Gould, he is a bold speculator in the stock market. If their speculations are successful they hny railroads, and it is said they sometimes purchase Leg islatures either by the retail or whole sale. There are no Goulds or Vander bilts in Georgia. Mr. Plant, of New York, a wealthy man,bought a broken down road and has built up a magnifi cent system which is doing much for Florida and Georgia. John P. King, a very old man, has ac cumulated a fortune of not large dimen sions by the practice of law and judi cious investments. It. R. Cuyler was a man of moderate wealth. William M. Wadley, witli unpre cedented opportunities, served hiB employers and his State rather than himself. Charles Phinlzy laid the basis of his success in commercial life. Governor Brown does not owe his fortune to railroads. Capt. Baoul receives a salary for his services that will not enable him to become suddenly rich. The presidents of other and smaller roads have not become railroad kings. About tbe only Georgian mentioned as having accu mulated millions out of railroads is Gordon, who resigned a Senatorship, and who has recently been spoken of by friendly presses as the next Gov ernor of Georgia. Georgia has not suffered by rea son of railroads or railroad presi dents. Her disasters and humil iations may justly be charged to her large and email politicians. Tux Philadelphia Time, aaya: "Tbe death of Oanerat Orant laavaa only twa »x Presidents of tbe United 8tatea among tbe living—Rutherford B. Haye, and Cheater A. Arthur, and neither of them was elected to the Presidency. Hayes climbed Into It by a trend that has stamped Ineffaceable shame upon hla history end Arthur suc ceeded to the Presidency by tbe mnrder o! Garfield." Jirrasox Darts ia a man of accom pUibinents and ability. He was an admire- ble Secretary ot War, and has Illustrated this country is e aohlUr end Senator in -the beet days ol lha republic. Persecution and misrepresentation bate added to the burdens ot bit life, bat there Is no shadow of stain upon bit honor and integrity. In the course of years bis life must come to close. Will sectionalism find no voice when Davie dies? Tux New York Commercial Bulletin ia mo Jest, ft says: "Probably tbe botteet lo- eall'yoa Mechalttn Island—we bed el most said on tbe continent—is el tbe cor ner ol Well end Broad stmts, where there is neither tree or awning, nor shade o! any kind to afford tbe broken even e mo menta refngt from tbe vertical beet that threatens them with amp dt solid daring basinets hours." Tba locality indicated the liott'at place in the world. TnB Philadelphia Record bet tried Its hand at dvll let vice, with thi# remit -There are honest, common sense roles go' Je the new administration In making Federal removals. First, all who are par Ilians first and public servants only in secondary Sanaa should be removed eecond, Democrats should be appointed who will be pabUe servants first end parti- i ana only eeooodary to tbeir official du ties. These rules cover tbe whole ground, and they bonaatly obey the booeit civil- service reform sentiments of tbs country. There are no Republican precedents for It: indeed, there are do Democratic or other party precedent! for It; bat tbe growing intelligence and independence ofonrdU- unship commands It, end .there moat be bontst obcdlec.-. to Its mandate. Let the Investigation be Thorough, Mr. Uueacll, ol Decatur county, baa bail the courage to move a legislative inquiry into a matter that baa been long bnibed up and kept qniet. Ho was a member of tiie Legislature that Impeached Comptroller-General Goldsmith, and moved on tbe treas urer and chiet keeper oi the peniten tiary. Two thousand dollars the money ot the people were appro priated to have pnblished tbe full proceeding! of tbe Goldsmith and Ken- froe trials. Tbit has never keen done. Perhaps tho attempt ot the Federal administration to vindicate the parties falling under the bon ol the Legislature of 1871), may have suggested the in quiry. Be this as it may, there are other matters connected with the Colquitt administration that demand a search ing investigation ami exposure. It will not be forgotten that an at tempt to look into the failure of Col quitt to perform hii constitutional duty u to pnrdons was successfully bluffed off, by wbat means the pabUc is not aware. Mr. Rut sell hu undertaken to run a probe into a very soft and tender place. If heeha'.l persist in the language of Beecher, "there ore other hearts that will ache.’’ In behalf of the honest people of Georgia, it is to lie hoped that he can not be frightened or cajoled from hts purpose. Tbe announcement la made in our telegraphic columns that he hu been appointed postmaster at Balnbridge. If he shall accept this position, it will be necessary for him to leave the Leg islature. In tliat event the Investiga tion he hu started ahonld pau into hands of men, who will do their fall duty in the premises. The matter of the Cole oharter, the pardon bnaineu of Colquitt and hts election u Senator, still await tbe at tention of some Legislator who hu courage to perform a public dnty, and who loves the good name of Georgia and the righting the wrongs of her peo ple over and beyond any hopes he may hare ot political preferment. D.n-h of Ceneral Crnnt. % In the proper column may bo found minute particulars of tbe last moments of General Grant. Tbe prominent events of his life are so familiar to all reading people that anything in the shape of a biography would he entirely superfluous. Equally out of place would be any attempt of a public jour nal in this section to indulge in thren ody. The country knows no section in iti sympathy with tho stricken and long-suffering man. Tiie hope will be general that ho haa entered into an eternal rest, and all will feel with his family a melancholy satisfaction that the end hu come. Un account ot the exalted position lie occupied tor eight years ns the Chief Magistrate of the country, it will be in order for the governmental depart ments of the South to join in fitting marks of respect to his memory. If the people of the South have no cause to Indulge in noisy lamenta tions at the death of General Grant, they have too fall a sense ot tiie appro priateness of things to appeal to the language of fulsome and hollow eulogy. To the historian of Die future they are content to leave hla name and fame. They will remember him u a stout foe and a generous victor, whose arms were never tamed upon helpleu women and children, and whose plighted faith u a soldier was kept in the face of tbe demands of a maddened political fac tion. They can bat feel regret that the fame won u a soldier wu dimmed u a statesman, and do feel a profound sorrow that his latter days were cloud ed by a catastrophe In which they had no share. dust and i Urluat" Railroad Discrimina tions. Editori Telegraph and Metierger; The question once settled as to what Is jait and unjnet railroad discriminations half the work and tbree-foartbs of the difficulties of tbe State Railway Commission will be removed, and tbe Legislature cen close that part of tbe discussion with a statute acknowledging tbe jnst end prohibiting the "unjust." At first tbe distinction wus not maae in tbe lulloga ot tbe commission for want of thorough information on tbe subject, and tbe wo d “onjust" was evi dently applied wholly to me discrimina tion- at competing stations on tbe rail roads. Experience, bowevet, h.s taught both the commission end people that this was a istake. The most in telligent among our railroad men have subsequently defined the various kinds of discrimination; so the! it Is no longer dimeun to legislate upon tbe tnbject. The discrimlnetion a' com peting points, as on the Slate llue at Col- ambus, Augusts, Chattahoochee and other places, was found not only to be just, but nereieary for tbe preservation of Georgia rosdi against tbe competition of nl roads in adjoining States; end thi# dlscrlmi- stlon is now recognized by tne commission, while It la reclared to be “unjust" only when competitive freight Is transported from these points at s cost -o much below ihe tariff as to yield no profit shore the cost nf transportation Com petitive dlsciiminetlou, therefore, it ]u«t .md proper, provided its istes do no', amount to favoiitism bv falling below the profits of local rates. Other unjust discriminations are defined to be; cbaiglog one person lees then an- other for tbe eame service, and discrimi nating between shippers ot diffeient quan- titles oi tbe same article, except where tbe difference in quantity prerents conditions ol economy in transportation, at ke- weeu a car load and lest than a cir losd, ora full train at one ehloment. These belt g unjust upon the testimony of railroad men themselves, it cannot be difficult to prevent them, and reasonable discrimination being already recognized and alloyed by the commission at comtetidre points with railroads in other State-, the question of discrimination wou'd seem to be settled at between the comnihsion and the railroads, end should be so understood by the peo- ple.| The fact admitted, however, d-stroys all the force of the rule against "unjust dis crimination against a locality," and re stores the status of the railroads on this subject before they were Interfered with by the commission. After doing end undoing, fixing end unfixing, rates for a long time under tbe qrefiure of rai road necessity It could not ignore, the comm lesion, whether admitted or not, fouud that it could do nothing of vafne in tbe matter, either for tbe railroads or tbe people. The discrimination -t prooibito against local v atioue, it was obligid to permit In order to save tbe rellroads from ootside com; e- tition; and whenever it bad fixed rates even on local freights, It has bad to alter, amend and revise to tuU tbe ever chang ing conditions of the railroads.

But an Inquisitive Old oantleman Wne Too Muon for Him. Boston Transcript. The youth had been patronizing the ynnng ladies by vouchsafing^choice bits of superior wisdom. "You re member what Caesar said when he waa about to cross the Rubicon?" said the old gentleman. “Certainly,” re plied the youth, with a careless glance of pity at the young ladies,'Cwho, of course, could not be expected to know everything that a man knows. "And, of course, you are equally familiar with the life of Peter the Hermit?” contin ued the old gentleman. “I should say that I was, replied the young man quickly, but not without u slightly troubled look in his face “And Se- mlramide,” the old gentleman went on, "you recall his famous saying?’’ "Yes,” gasped the youth, wishing that the old gentleman might be struck with apoplexy as soon as convenient. “I am glad yon remember it,” said the old gentleman with animation, "lor I’ve clean forgotten it. Now, if you’ll be kind enough; and no doubt the ladies would be glad to hear it also.” Tbo youth by this time wished that the old gentleman had died in infancy, and as for the ladies, he couldn’t help thinking bow much better it would have lii-cn had they never been horn. “Bv the way,” pursued the old gentle man, seeing the youth hesitated, "who was Semiramlde? He bad something to do with the lust Franco-Pruasian war, hadn't ho?” “Yes, oh yes,” re plied the youth, catching at the bait with eagerness, while something like a giggle was passed around among the young ladies, as if it were a paper of caramels. "And Peter the Hermit was instrumental in bringing about a peace at the close of that struggle?” 11 Yes.” The youth said this very faintly. “But Caesar held out and marched his shattered forces into tiie Wallachain principality?’* “That’s the way I remember it,” replid the youth, with a desperation born ol de spair. Then the old gentleman looked at the young ladies, who were engaged in stnifing tnsir mouths full of pocket- hsuderchlefs, and then he looked kt the youth end exclaimed: “Ah, sir, how I envy yon yonr store of know! edge!” Then the youth got A Priest PrsachlnB with n Braes of Re volvers Strapped to His Waist. Kansas City Times. A most extraordinary aud dramatic scene was enacted at St. Mary’s Church yesterday morning. The disgraced rector, with brazen effrontery and de spite threats of violence, boldly donned the sacerdotal robes, and to the out rage of decency performed the sacred rites of the church. The audience, one of the largest ever i i tho church since Jardine came to it, and which included a number of well- known young men of the efty, testified their disapproval by stamping and de- risivo shouts of laughter. The crowd begun to assemble long before tbe hour for service, and by 11 o’clock the church was filled to its ut most capacity. The only ladies pres- entwere a half-dozen female members of his flock. Two or three policemen had been stationed in the rear of the church at the solicitation of the rector, and the vestry were present in full force, armed with revolvers, in antici pation of a fray. Father Jardine had a brace of revolvers strapped about hiB waist underneath his priestly gown, de termined to resist to the lost any at tempt to remove him by force.

Ban Francisco Call. Chinatown waa much agitated yes terday by the appearance of a genuine belle from the Flowery Empire. Tho great majority ot Chinese women who odme to America are plebeians, with feet remarkable for their Immense cubic area. These refugees from the rice fields of Asia are generally dressed in plain black tunics, and depend solely on the decoration of their lisir to make them attractive. The belle who sought the Federal courts yesterday iu hopes of being permitted to remain on Amer ican soil, was dressed according tn the most recent Chinese fashion plates. Her lmir was rolled end plastered into indescribable folds and plaits, her tu nic wu herculean, with bright Vermil lion trimmings, and her lower garment dark blue, with embroidered figures, and so ample that it looked more like a petticoat than the typical trousers of the famalu coolie, the dress being so low that nothing wu visible bat the shoes, with thick felt soles, and the points of two heels u high and pointed u any worn by French Del lee of tbe put century. The q nearly attired woman wu many enedes lighter in complexion than the Chinese females that are seen every day on the streets. The come liness ol her face was set off to better advantage by contrast with the two dark-skinned female attendants on whom she leaned, the unnatural smallness of her feet making it an im possibility for her to walk unaided.She was far shove the height of the average Chineee woman, and wonld have been reckoned tall among Americans. Her face indicated superior intelligence, and the manner in which tbe groans of male Chinese loungers dropped their habitual stolidity and gaped after her showed that she wss a woman of mark in the Chines* community.

At his appearance Mr. Jo seph Sherlock, who was in tho rear of the church, wu beard to exclaim audi bly. "Tho devil is now bowing before the altar.” The audience remained perfectly quiet until in repeating the decalogue he read the seventh com mandment “Thou sbalt not commit adultery,” when he was greeted with a storm of derisive laughter, stamping of feet, and cries of "Rats.” "Rats.” He was evidently prepared for this outburst, which lasted several minutes as the only effect it produced on him waa to cause the lines about his mouth to deepen and his naturally pale face to ;row paler. As soon as quiet had been n a measure restored he proceeded In a firm voice and with a peculiar empha sis to read: "Thou shaft not bear false witness.” Tills did not have the effect lie intended and was received with hisses. The commandment, “Thou" shall not covet thy neighbor’s wife,” called for thunderous applause, which exceeded in violence the demonstration which had preceded it. The rest ot the service pasW off without interruption until ho began preaching. All through the sermon the speaker was constantly interrupted by stamp ing and shouting, the exhibitions of disapproval heim tbe most pronounc ed where he i. mounced those who believed him guilty as ignorant, preju diced louts, and when he posed as martyr, in a good canse. Thus ended one ot tiie most extraor dinary scenes ever witnessed in. any church. It was an exhibition of the indignation which exists in Kansas City against tbe polluted priest—an indignation which may be differently expressed by other people, but which is so deeply felt that it cannot be re strained. A remarkable incident of yes terday’s demonstration is tho fact that although several policemen were pres ent at the solicitation ot Jardine, not a single effort was made by them to pre vent the occurrence of a disturbance, which in any other church would have subjected the participants to a speedy arrest and prosecution. In the evening there was a similar disturbance. After tbe benediction was pronounced the crowd still loitered about the church. Homebody cried out: “He’s in the spsukistry,” and the people rushed to the sacred spot. Hundreds ol men gathered there, curi ously gazing at tbe modest building. Tho police were in aud among them, but they fonnd no intimation ol vio lence. As soon ns Jardine had doffed his robes ho reappeared in the church im mediately in frontof the chancel,where several of hts lady friends awaited him. The crowd, which now numbered only 1,000 people, catching sight ot hun through tne windows, swarmed around the Eighth street en trance, rendering egress in that direction impossible. Jardineappearcd very much disturbed by the cumor ol the crowd, and, seating himself on the front pew, drew two immense navy re volvers from beneath his gown and placed them on bis lap. His vestry men who surrounded him wonld occa sionally shift the position of their re volrers, which were concealed in their pockets.
