Indeed, the only result of grumbling

should show a disposition to resent the
interference of even that priyi-

why you should let it rain.

A Beggarly Shift.
HcnrvaRicli&rdson, telegraphing from Waah-
iagtoo, repeats the view, soggeeted by the
chronicle, that it might be bad policy for the
Democratic Senators to oppose Arthur's
nominations on the eve of Cleveland’s admin
istration, when the Republican Senate will be
called on to confirm many Democratic nomina
tions.—A uguila Chronicle.
There could not possibly be an ab-
surder apology of an excuse for the in
tended vote of Senator Brown in con
firmation of Emory Speer.
Democratic Senators, forsooth, are to
Vote to confirm a bad nominee of the
retiring President, in order to prevent
Republican Senators from voting
against confirming the good nomina
tions of the in-coming President! It
is a suggestion too 'ridiculous to have
originated anywhere outside of an
asylum for Insane politicians.
If Republican Senators were as stu
pid as this nice little Speer programme
takes them to be, there would still be
no justification in it for the moral and
political stultification involved in
the Democratic support of the nomina
tion of Speer. An upright, con
scientious Senator will vote against a
bad nominee, whenever his case comes
up, and take the consequences. He
w ill not favor such a nominee because
of auy threat, political or otherwise.
Possible Republican baseness hereafter
doesn’t justify Democratic meanness
now.
Northern
war grow-
sion of the
absence of
argument, they fall back on the fish-
woman’s practice of tailing names. It
is very bad, but it is the best they can
do. There would liave been a judicial
settlement, Jong ago, of the question
whether Davis, Lee and other Southerly
leaders were. traitoife, bat for the fact
that the Federal authorities were
afraid to test the question before their
own courts—just as the late candidate
ofthe News for the Presidency -was
afraid to trust his libel suit to an In
diana jury. In the face of the fact that
the Federal authorities dodged this
question, and refused to have it settled,
it will hardly be settled by the ipse
dixit of the Indianapolis News.
- But our contemporary makes a spe
cial point on Lee. It charges that his
case is “one flagrantly steeped in
treason, if it be treason to desert one’s
Government and swear allegiance to
another while his own State was still
a member of the first Government.”
Whether or not it would have been
treason to do tliat has not been judi
cially settled, and so the question may
admit of differences of opinion; but
this has nothing to do with the case of
General Lee, for he did nothing of the
sort. The condition upon which the
News bases its charge of treason does
not exist. “It is needful that the
truth be told,” and the telling of it
show’s the falseness of the allegation
that Lee resigned his position in the
Federal army and swore allegiance to
the Confederate Government before
Virginia seceded.
The Virginia convention passed the
ordinance of secession on April 17,
1861. General Lee resigned bis
position in the Federal army on
April 20,1861. On April 23, 1861, he
was appointed Major General of the
Virginia forces. He was not in the
service of the Confederate States until
some time afterw’ards—until the seat of
Government had been moved from
Montgomery to Richmond.
So it will he seen that the News
most grossly misstates the facts in the
case. Doubtless it does this through
ignorance, being misled by some long
haired, ill-informed, “loyal” historian
of the Eli Perkins variety.
Inasmuch as “we can all afford at
this day to lay aside partisanship and
tell the truth, no matter whom it hurts
or helps,” we shall expect our contem
porary to withdraw its charges against
the great? Virginian. Its whole case
against him is based upon the grossest
misstatement of facts. He resigned
three days after Virginia passed the se
cession ordinance, and' tendered his
sword to liis native State. He was
not in the Confederate service at all
until after the assembling of tbe Con
federate Congress in Richmond.
This being true, General Lee is inno-
eeutof the charges brought against
him, and the News should not hesitate
to set him right. It eau’t afford to
maintain conclusions founded upon a
falsification of history.
Speer’s Nomination.
There probably is no qnestion in all
the vast world of political thought and
action upon which the white people of
Georgia are more thoroughly united,
than in opposition to the confirmation
of Emory Speer to a life position on
the Federal Bench in Georgia. It has
been a number of days since the nomi
nation was sent into the innate, and
yet in all the time we have neither
heard nor read a favorable comment
on the nomination.
The reputable papers of the State are
solid against it. The lawyers are al
most in arms against it. No man w*ho
wants, to continue to respect the ermine
of a Federal J udge can look: upon it
with anything less than feelings of ab
horrence. The President has- either
made a very great mistake,-or else he
has been guilty of a deliberate purpose
to defile and dishonor Justice in her
very temple
Protests against the confirmation of
Speer are pouring into Washington
City from scores of reputable sources
in Georgia. Let them go forward.
The united bar of the State should
speak out against the outrage of the
nomination, and the still greater out
rage of Senator Brown’s announced
intention to sustain li. It remains to
be seen whether he will defy public
sentiment in the way indicated.
Senator Colquitt Is working manful
ly to protect the State from the con
templated wrong of putting a coarse,
ignorant renegade in charge of one
of her Uhited'States Courts, and the
people should file their protests with
him, to be laid before the Senate at the
proper time. '
Short Stories.
In looking over: our exchanges wp
have been struck, recently, with the
scarcity of short stories, of a sort to in-
•terest the average Southern reader.
It would be a mistake to suppose
that there is no demand for such liter
ature on the part of the reading pub
lic; and so the scarcity of the supply
does not indicate a taste for more se
rious and instructive composition.
There hasf never been much encour
agement in'the South for story writers.
This li!» been due to a number of
causes which need not now’ be men
tioned. A want of appreciation of the
beauties of that particular field of au
thorship has not, however, been one of
them.
There is more talent in the South for
success in this direction than is gener
ally supposed. It may be that the
News and Advertiser has sub
scribers who have gifts in the indicated
direction..
In order to give them a showing, at
tention is called to the proposition made
elsewhere, in this issue, to contribu
tors of short stories for the News and
Advertiser. - We shall see what will
come of it.
It is said that as many as 21,000,000
acres of land in the Western States
and Territories is owned by European
nobles—principally Englishmen. A
bill Itto prohibit aliens and foreigners
from acquiring or owning lands within
the United States” has been favorably
reported from the Committee on Pub
lic Lands. It ought to pass. It will
not do to let the English variety of
landlordism be engrafted into tbe in
stitutions of this country. It is too
bad when confined to Ireland.

General Stewart.
Late reports from the seat of war in
Egypt state that General Stewart’s
forces have had a number of engage
ments with the troops of El Mahdi,
since the battle of Abu Klea. In all
these battles the British forceswere
victorious, though success was attend
ed with serious losses in killed and
wounded. General Stewart himself
was seriously wounded In one of the
battles, and two newspaper correspond
ents were killed. This is rather worse
than average newspaper fare.
As a result of these victories, the
British have captured Metemueh and
opened communication with General
Gordon in Khartoum.
The state of affairs in that quarter
is better than the people had
reason to hope. General lVolse-
lev’s interpretation of the silence of
his gallant subordinate officer thus
shows itself to have been correct.
The main obstacles to the relief of
Khartoum are now overcome; and
Gordon having been found to he not
at all hard pressed the advancing col
umn of the British may go leisurely
forward on its mission.
Humble Pie.
Tbe people of Georgia are not natur
ally prone to flunkyism. They have
always enjoyed the reputation of bring
hospitable, and they have deserved it.
But there is a vast remove between
flunkyism and hospitality, and the
tendencies towards the former are be
coming painfully evident. This is the
case, especially, when auy leading man
from the Xorth comes down into this
section “in style.”
It is one way, we suppose, that the
people, who are guilty of flunky meth
ods, have of showing their “loyalty."
It is possibly the elect way of doing
things; but it is exceedingly weari
some to old-fashioned people. Let ns
have peace, as a matter of course: hut
too much “humble pie” is dreadfully
wearing on the digestive organs.
Turkey has submitted to the loss of
several of the Barbary States at the
hands of France, but she proposes to
draw the line between Tripoli and
Italy. The Italian Government has
been notified that her scheme for seiz
ing upon that Turkish dependency will
be met and resisted by an armed force.
The people of Georgia have believed
some very absurd things in this gener
ation, but they will hardly be taken in
by the plea that the demand for the
abolition of the taxes on whiskey and
tobacco is in the interestof a reduction
of tariff duties. Itis just too ludicrous
to deceive anybody^

The Dynamite Fiends.
The dynamite fiends have furnished
another argument to show that thejl
should be summarily dealt with, by
their attempt, ou Saturday, to blowup
the Parliament biddings and the Tow
er, in London. It was a deliberately
murderous affair. That it resulted in
the killing and wounding of only a few
people, and in only the partial destruc
tion of the devoted buildings, can be
attributed to no consideration on the
part of the perpetrators for the lives or
the property of others.
The attempt has excited indigna
tion throughout the civjjized world.
It lias excited, in all England, some
thing more than simple indignation.
It would not he surprising if resulting
passion should carry English mobs to
the extreme of retaliation on innocent
Irishmen in the great cities of the
Queen’s realm.
The dynamite method spreads. How
long will the United States he free
from it? Society should declare war
on it and on its advocates. It wages
war on law, on peace, on human life—
without regard to age, sex or condition.
It is time for this country to let it be
known to the world that the dynamite
method is an exotic hue; and that it
will have to go. The United States
should lose no time in putting itself
right on the record.
A tariff duty is a tax, as a matter
of course. The higher the duty the
greater is the tax. These two proposi
tions are anxioinatie. Taxes add noth
ing to the wealth of States; hut, on
the other hand, they subtract from the
wealth of the citizen. And yet, in
spite of this fact, protectionists assert
that a high tariff—that is a high tax,
contributes to the wealth and pros
perity of the country! That the higher
the duty, or tax, the greater will be the
prosperity! That a Government can
make its citizens rich by taxing them!
They are not fools euongh to believe
the truth of what they teach, though
they are false enough to claim to be
lieve it.
There is a saying to the effect thatr
“no news is good news.” In the case
of General Stewart and hissmallarmy,
in the desert, no news is the worst sort
of news. He has not beeu heard from
^ince the uncertain battle of Abu
Klea; and rumors were rife in London,
on Monday, that Ills whole command
had been destroyed. It may turn out
that the little band of brave men is
safe, but the indications are not favor
able. As may be supposed, the fate of
Stewart’s little army excites great con
cern in London, and, indeed, through
out tbe civilized world.
The eagerness of various State Leg
islatures to have a given man in the
coming Cabinet will he very embarrass
ing to Mr. Cleveland. He will he held
responsible for the manner in which he
fills the department offices, and propri
ety suggests that he be allowed to fill
them without Importunity from any
source whatsoever. Besides this, there
is a deal of nonsense in this “favorite
son” business, anyhow.

Speakixg of the nomination of
Speer to a life position on the Bench,
the Columbus Enquirer Sun well says:
“There seems to he a general up
heaval in the State against the nomina
tion of Speer. A great many Demo
crats prefer the appointment of an hon
est Republican to a renegade who has
bargained his self-respect for the spoils
of office. Speer is not regarded as
either a good Bepublieau or a good
Democrat, and is unlit to sit in judg-'
meat on the affairs of honorable men.”
The purpose to dispossess the Creek
and Seminole Indians of the Oklahoma
lands is unmistakable. It finds warm
advocacy in the Senate, as any other
scheme of Spoliation would. The lands
belong to the Indians by the most sa
cred of titles, but they will be dispos
sessed. The law-making power of the
Federal Government doesn’t disdain to
act in the role of land-robber. It is a
shame.
Coxgressmax Oates doesn’t like the
idea of having noblemen to buy up all
the unoccupied lands in the United
States, and he is right ahont it. This
evil has gone further than many sup
pose. There are many farms in Geor
gia, now, under mortgage to foreign
corporations, and the titles will pass
out of the hands of the present occu
pants as surely as the sun shines.
Judgixg from the tone ofthe two lo

very bad state of feeling, growing out
of the late county election, existing in

state of feeling is not only- unpleasant,
but injurious to any community, and

eottou or a fine sponge, and upon this
two or three draehmsof the solution are
poured. When occasion for its use oc
curs the mouth of the bottle is to be
applied to tbe temple or as near as
possible to tne seat of the pain, so close
ly tliat none ofthe volatile vapor may
escape, and retaiu there four or five
minutes or longer. For a minute or
so nothing is felt, then comes a se
of tingling, which in a few minutes—
three or four usually—becomes rather
severe, hut which subsides almost im
mediately if the bottle is removed, and
any redness of the skin that may occur
will also quickly subside. It may lie
reapplied, if necessary, several times
in the day, and it generally acts lika

I have a little daughter seven years
old, w;ho, for the last four years has
been afflicted, with a peculiar sltin erup
tion on the face and one hand. I have
tried seven or eight physicians, among
them tbe best in California and in this
province, but to no purpose. The child
kept growing worse. Fortunately I
saw a statement in a St. Paul, Minn.,
paper, of a cure of a disease similar to
that of my child. It was effected by
Swift’s Specific. I secured six bottles
and commenced giving it to my little
girl. In less than one week this terri
ble disease, which bad baffled all the
known remedies within reach, began to
disappear. She has beeu taking it
three months—is perfectly we 1, and
her skin is as clear as wax.

A CASH OFFER
STORY WRITERS.
$20 FOB THE BEST SHORT STOBY.
$10 FOR THE SECOND BEST.
in looking over the newspaper* and periodi
cals of the day for occa*i«mal short stories,
suitable for publication in the News and Ad
vertiser, we have been struck with the scar
city of snch literature and the inferiority of
the average short stories published. We have
also been struck with the fact that very few of
the stories published are from Southern auth
ors or felate to Southern life and inculent*.
In onfer to encourage Southern authorship,
an«l, at the same time, procure interesting
original stories for the News and Advertiser,
we have concluded to offex the following cash
prizes:
For the best original story, not to exceed six
columns of tbe Daily^News asp Advertiser
m length, $20
For tht* second best original story, not to ex
ceed six columns of the Daily News and
Advertiser, in lengtli, $10.
In order to give those who have not been ac
customed to writing for the press an idea of
the sjiace to be occupied, we will state that
four pages of foolscap, in ordinary hand writ
ing. may be safely estimated for a column. We
cannot, of coarse, expeet a rigid compliance
upon the part of. contestants with the restric
tion as to space, but tl»e limit is made in order
to keep the writers from making their stories
too long; and each one wilLbe expected to
have some regard for limit.
the xlan ok award.
One lady ami one gentleman, who wiU be
residents of Albany, and who will be selected
with a due regard for culture ^nd literary
taste, will be selected by us to read each story
separately and make the awards. In
they should not be able to agree, they will be
authorized to select a third party, whose
ciaiou with that of one of the first parties shall
be final. The names of the lady and gentle
man whom we shall ask to aid us in this scheme
will be announced in due time, find each con
testant may be assured that his or her story
will be considered upon its merits alone,
the judges will not know who the writers are.
Tbe real name of the writer must accompany
his or her. manuscript, but this will be with-
Iteld from the judge*, and is required only as a
guaranty of good faith, and for tbe use of the
publisher* after the award is made. The real
name of the author will be held in confidence
by the publishers, and will not be made public
without permission, after the awards are
made.
Vain and sensitive persons who are liable to
place too high an estimate upon their produc
tions, and thereby disqualify themselves tor
accepting tbe award of the judges in good
faith, are requested not to enter into this
competition, which is intqpded to develop lite
rary talent and encourage young writers
among tbe friends and patrons of the News
and Advertiser,
WHEN AND HOW TO BEND IN XANU8CROT.
This offer will be kept open until the 1st of
March, when it will positively be closed, and
the manuscript of Die different contestants
turned over to the judges. Contestants can
either send their manuscripts by mail, or hand
them in at the office in person.
Tbe iirize stories will be published in both
the Daily and Weekly News and Adver
tiser
If this scheme works well, we propose to
keep it up, and offer, a number of valuable
prizes for stories daring the present year.

Buehn was long used by the Hottentots in a
variety of diseases. From these ruds* prac
titioners, the remedy was borrowed by the
resident English and Dutch physicians, by
whose recommendation it was emplorcd in

Combined with Juniper and other desirable

■ tbe above
s a rei: -
This articie has now been before tbe public
for seventeen years and its sale baa and is con
stantly increasing—and that with very little
advertising, which prove* it to be an article of
merit. We have testimonials from some of
the leading physicians of Georgia, South Caro
lina and Florida, and other State* in regard
to its reliability as a diuretic, and a .remedy
tor the diseases tor which it is recommended.
We class the above medicine among the
best we ever made and tbe sufferers of Kid
ney and Bladder affection* would be im
mensely more benefitted by the use of it than
by taking the various worthless remedies now
-being extensively advertised. A gentleman
was in to see ns afew days ago who nail taken
six bottles of one of the extensively advertised
medicines without benefit, and one bottle of
Rankin’s Buchu and Jnniper cured him. It i*
only necessary to try the medicine we manu
facture to be convinced of their cl&cacT.
