_»rivania. in which
a plan for restoring the
.^uimercial marine of the United
States to the supremacy which charac
terized it before the war. This lie pro
poses to do by a system of rebates,
premiums and subsidies. The surplus
in the treasury is to be called into re
quisition to increase the profits of
United States ship-owners, who en
gage in the trans-oceanic carrying
trade. In other words, the people of
the United States are to be taxed to
contribute such enormous profits to the
carrying trade as to make it worth the
while of capitalists to take some of
their funds oat of other “protected”
industries, and invest in the newly
and enormously “protected” industry
of the carrying trade.
The policy of taxing the people at
large in order to build up the commer
cial marine is amenable to criticism on
the ground of its diabonesty. It is
just as dishonest for the Government
to take the property of the citizen,
without rendering him an honest
equivalent Car it, as it- is for another
individual to do it. Government be
comes a public robber when it takes
the property of the citizen for any
other than public purposes. It would
be absurd to say that it is for a public
purpose when the people of Georgia
are taxed in order to enable the ship
owners of the Middle and New En
gland States to compete for the carry
ing trade with the ship-owners of
England, and taxation for any such
end would be robbery .
Rat there are other objections to the
suggested policy. It seeks to cure an
evil by treating it with the very
methods that have produced it.
Down to the enactment of the present
villainous Morrill tariff in i860, the
carrying trade was in the hands of
United States ship-owners. Under
the operations of thst tariff, foreign
importations have grown less and less
every year, until the uncertainty of
paying return cargoes made the busi
ness of those engaged in the carrying
trade an exceedingly precarious one.
At the same time the immense bonus
given by the tariff to the various pro
tected' industries in the Middle and
Eastern States insured heavy profits
on capital invested in such enterprises
and this fact added to other and kin
dred considerations caused a general
withdrawal of money investments from
ship lines to the various furnace and
factory enterprises for which those
two sections are famous. Having
thus started on the down grade, it is
not hard to see why the carrying trade
of the country should have reached so
low a state as to furnish, practically
no opposition to English competition
The remedy for this had state of af
fairs is to restore the Democratic tariff,
under the operations of which the ves
sels of'the United States, engaged in
trade, whitened with their sails every
ocean and sea under the sun. Remove
the hurtful restrictions on trade. Give
free ships a chance on the free ocean.
Let there be something akin to reci
procity in the trade between this great
country and the millions of Europe.
Let the delusion that foreign markets
for tlie varied productions of this coun
try can 1* obtained, in the absence of
a willingness to take the products of
foreign countries in exchange, he dis
missed with the contempt which it de
serves, and there will be no need to
rob the people of the country, to sub
sidize the carrying trade into life and
vigor again.
The plan of Senator Cameron seems
to be stupid, dishonest and ridiculous.
The country can gain nothing good by
robbing the many to set the few up in
business, and this is the plain Englisii
of his proposed remedy.
Bleeding The Seekers.
The status of the Bartholdi Monu-
meut is not flattering to tlie pride of
the people of the United States.
Patriotic Frenchmen, who remember
the share which France had iu the
triumph of the American Colonies iu
the Revolutionary War, contributed to
a common fund which was appropri
ated to the construction of a statue of
Liberty, to bo erected at some favora
ble spot in New York harbor, as a
present and a tribute to the great
American people.
The monument has been completed
and is ready for shipment: but the
pedestal upon which it is to stand has
not been provided. In fact, ail efforts
to raise a sufficient fund for providing
a foundation for the statue have been
failures. The Goulds and the Vander
bilts and the Sages of the great Me
tropolis are too poor to contribute
from their hard earnings to such a
purpose.
As we stated, a few days ago, tlie
New York li’orld lias taken tlie mat
ter in hand; and it is now probable
that the money for the pedestal will be
forth-coming. In a recent issue of
that paper the following suggestion is
made in that interest:—
“Every man who expects to obtain an office
' ‘land should send a sub-
from President Clevel
script ion for the Bartholdi Monument Pedestal
to the H’orW. The publication of the name
and the donation will make a favorable im-
predion upon the Administration.’’
it doesn't need to lie argued that, if
every man in tlie United States, now
in search of an office at tlie hands of
tlie new Administration, will make a
small contribution to the fund, the
necessary amount will soon he collect
ed. Indeed, there would be a large
surplus for contingencies. The public
debt, even, could he paid off in the
same way. The trouble is ill con
vincing them that the entrance into
the good graces of the President lies
Iu tlie direction of a contribution to tlie
fund. Office-seekers are proverbially
suspicious, hut tlie cunning New York
paper may be able to convince them
that there is hope only ill taking its
prescription.
England and Russia.
The indications of war between Eng
land anil Russia, growing out of dif
ferences over the boundary line be
tween Turkestan and Afghanistan,
grow stronger and stronger. _
England has no greater rights in
Afghanistan than Russia, and the lat
ter power is aware of the fact. She is
also fully posted as to the extent of
England's complications in other
quarters, and so she is not disposed to
submit tamely to the arrogant demands
of her rival for position and influence
in Central Asia.
Late reports point to tlie likelihood
of an understanding between Turkey
and Russia, by whieh the former is to
remain neutral in ease of war over in
Afghanistan. It would he very queer
for Turkey to be at peace with Rus
sia, during a war between that power
and its old ally, England. But/the
Porte feels keenly the humiliation put
upon Turkey by Englisii method- in

A Ground of Hope.
There is one characteristic of the new
President which isn’t often found in
public men—to their discredit. This
peculiarity consists iu his always say
ing what he means, and meaning
what lie says. His actions since his
election and installation in office, on a
careful comparison, will be found not
to vary perceptibly from his utteran
ces before the Presidential campaign
and during it. This is certainly unu
sual in a public official, to say no more
of it. The people of this country are
not accustomed to that style, and are
none the better off for it.
It is possible that this peculiarity of
the President win work disappoint

there is one phase of It that will be pe

ment that his plan of operations
has been reported.
In. any event, the expedition which
the President to the policy of a reduc- \ bo has undertaken will prove a very
tionof governmental expenditures and
a reform in tariff taxation; and the
faithfulness which he is showing to
those pledges which commit him and
his party to reforms in the various De
partments furnishes abundant
for believing that, at the proper time,
the full force of Executive influence
will be brought to bear in favor of tar
iff reform.
That this is demanded by faithful
ness to the platform of party princi
ples on w hich he was nominated will
be sufficient to influence his action,
even were there any reason to fear
that his personal opinions lead out iu
some other direction.
The people of this country have long
waited for the institution of reforms
in taxation, and had begun to believe
that reform can come only thrutigh
the destruction of old parties. But a
new light has dawned upon them at
last, and there is a pledge of reform in
the sincerity of the powers that be, in
Washington.
Appointments.
The nominations continue to go In
to the Senate. One of the last turns
of the wheel announced: “S. S. Cox,
of New York, to be Envoy Extraordi
nary and Minister Plenipotentiary of
the United States to Turkey.”
And this is really jolly. There isu’t
a man in public life in the United
.States worthier of a good time than
“Sunset” Cox, and there isn’t a fellow
more capable of having one over in
Constantinople than the aforesaid
Samuel.
The last batch of nominations con
tained two of postmasters in Georgia.

Pete went to the wall, along with his

It is all right; let the good work
go 011.
A Bad Fallow.
Advices from Central America, by
way of Galveston, state that Barrios is
advancing on San Salvador at the head
of 16,000 soldiers. If this be true, a
bloody war in Central America is in
evitable.
San Salvador is a much smaller coun
try than Guatemala, and, unassisted, it
would hardly be able to repel the in-
vasior of as large a force from the
northwest while maintaining a force
on the east, to resist a probable con
current invasion from Honduras.
But it is probable that Nicaragua
and Costa Rica will go to the assistance
of tlie San Salvadoreans, aud Mexico Is
virtually pledged to do likewise.
Under the circumstances, then, it
will be seen that the chances are de
cidedly against Barrios in the end,
whatever may be the. success of his
movement in the beginning.
He is evidently a bad fellow, and lie
ought to be suppressed in the shortest
possible order. His methods don’t
suit this hemisphere. ^
False Security.
The British’military authorities In
Egypt exercise a rigid censorship over
all the dispatches that are sent out
from the seat of war in that country.
This being the case, it is difficult to un
derstand why the reports of the “wan
ing power of El Mahdl” should be
again allowed to vex the credulous,
aud add to the public contempt for the
British campaigu.
It is nonsense to suppose that El
Mahdi’s power is waning or that his
resources are less now than they were
before the fall of Khartoum and the
retrogade movements of the two Brit
ish armies that were far advanced to
wards the beleaguered city.
There is more danger that General
Wolseley’s army will be cut off from
Cairo by the wild hordes of the desert,
than there is of the dissolution of the
False Prophet’s army. A feeling of
false security may naturally precede a
great calamity In the desert, and the
English authorities will do well to see
to it.
The Swedish Diet has "decided to ad
mit, free ef duty into Sweden, pork,
grain of all kinds, flour and meat from
the United States. Now if this con
cession were met by the Congress of
this country in a corresponding spirit,
does any saue man doubt that tlie vol
ume of trade with Swedeu would
straightway be increased ? There can’t
be a shadow of doubt that such would
be the result; and the fact points to
the only possible method of regaining
tlie immense trade which the United
States has lost since the high wall .of
protective exclusiveness was built
around the country. There must be
reciprocity in trade.
hazardous one, with the. chances
against its success. It doesn’t Seem
possible for him to keep up his line of
communication with Suakin, in the
face of an overwhelming number of
hardy and wily foes. He wlli likely
find Osman DIgna’s forces in his rear
before he has advanced many leagues
from Suakin, and may have to fight
bis way back to the starting point.
It looks like a bootless movement,
at present, even if Berber could b£
reached in safety and captured without
opposition. The advantage to be gain
ed is not apparent.
Bismarck’s Policy.
It is thought that one of the main
objects had in new' by Bismarck in his
aggressive and grasping colonial policy
is to open up new fields for the roving
population of Germany. While con
vinced of the impossibility of restrain
ing Immigration, he hopes to be able
to turn it in the direction of his colo
nies—thus saving to the Empire the
muscle and the wealth which are lost
to it when tlie United States is the ob
jective point of the Immigrant.
The Idea is not a bad one, if the rest
less class can be induced to fall in with
it. How it will work, remains tube
seen. In the case of Great Britain, the
plan has worked admirably, as the
growth of the Australian Colonies in
wealth and population fully attests.
It does uot follow that like success
will attend the programme of the wily
German Chancellor. There has been
something phenomenal In the success
of Great Britain’s colonial policy.
The fact is becoming clearer every
day that President Cleveland recog
nizes in Sam Randall the safest and
wisest man among the Democratic
leaders,” remarks the Cartersville
American. It Ls hard to conjecture on
what our contemporary bases its opin
ion. The appointments justify no such
conclusions, as Bayard, Lamar, Man
ning and Vilas are well known to be
earnest tariff reformers. A great deal
of nonsense has been written to the ef
fect that the failure of Phil Thompson
was a victory for Randall; but the fact
Is, Raudall wants the Internal Reven
ue system abolished and Cleveland
wants its requirements honestly en
forced, and this accounts for the ap
pointment of a man that will enforce
them. Randall will lack a great deal
of engrafting his Republican notions of
taxation on the new administration.
“The victims of Chandler’s malice”
are distressing^' numerous in the navy,
at the present time. Chandler is un
doubtedly a great rascal; but we are
incliued to suspect that his ordering on
active duty some of the naval officers,
ho have been drawing pay while
acting as mere ornaments to bespangled
“society” in Washington City, was ma
liciously good—if malicious at all.
There ought to be a cleaning out of all
the old barnacles that cling to the tim
bers of the War and Navy Departments.
Send those “society” darlings to the
front. •
The New York Senate defeated the
bill changing the time for holding the
municipal elections of New’ York City
from fall to spring. The Republicans
oppose the cliange liecause they are iu
a minority in the- city, aud can hope
to win anything only by trades with
corrupt Democratic organizations.
These trades can be more readily made
wlum the State or Federal aud munic
ipal elections occur on the same day.
This is why the hill was defeated.
It was a purely partisan affair, of the
meanest sort:
The death of Mark A. Cooper takes

quitt, Stephens and others of his con
temporaries—not unknown to fame,pre
ceded him. Of the great men of his
day Toombs is, perhaps, the only one v
that is left. He, too, will soon follow,
and only memories will be left to con
nect the living present with the dead
There is one thing about the new
President that we earnestly admire
above all things else except his open
and fearless truthfulness, and that is
his extreme simplicity and plainness of
manner. There is nothing of the Big
Ike or Tony Jim about him. There is
many a penniless, almost brain
less dude in the country that
puts on more “style,” as it is
called, than Grover Cleveland. His
public receptions are plain, matter-of-
fact affairs. A fellow doesn’t have to
appear with his hair banged or parted
in the middle, a nosegay pinned on the
lappel of his claw-hammer coat and a
little dudish cane in his poor glove-
bound hand, to get an audience with
the first mart in the country. The
poorest honest man in the capital, in
his working clothes, gets an honest
welcome. Times are evidently im-
proving in Washington.
The patient search and waiting of
the Washington flunkies have at last
been rewarded. It has been ascer
tained that President Cleveland will
listen to preaching in a certain Pres
byterian church in the city, when he
Isn’t otherwise employed, and now
the devil and the flunkies will go up
to worship at the same church. Ac
cording to the theory on which our
Government Is founded a President Is
made out of no better dust than an or
dinary citizen; but the tendency tk>
hang around men in exalted station
and how to the earth before them
shows that the theory Is entirely lost
sight of in practice. Man-worship is a
growing evil in this country.
Indications are even more favorable
to war between England aud Russia,
growing out of the desire of each to
get possession of Herat. England is
forwarding troo]>s to the northwest of
India and Russia Is hurrying her bat
talions over into Turkestan. The war
party in Russia seems to be in the as
cendant, while iu England matters
seem to be drifting with no certain
hand to control them. The drift is un
doubtedly towards war.
There was something incousistaut
in the enthusiastic celebration of Em
peror William’s birthday, by the Ger
mans at the Exposition. They fled to
this country to escape the exactions of
his . tyrannical authority, and it
is ridiculous to meet in - a joy
ful hurrah over the old fellow’s con
tinued grasp on absolute and remorse
less power. There must have been
some hypocrisy in the rejoicings.
From all accounts Georgia Day at
the Exposition was more creditable to
the State than could fairly have been
expected, under the circumstances. The
exhibits were gotteu together solely
by private, enterprise, and tlie expense
was met by private subscription. It i-
creditabic to those having the matter
in hand that they did so well, with the
meager resources at their command.

that the fertilizers are more concen
trated when put in drills, aud hence,
are more readily assimilated by the
growing oats. We think tlie drill sys
tem is decidedly the l*»Uer plan for
sowing oats.”
THE PANIA.HA TRDl'BLfi.
Admiral Jouette Think* the t’nis*
ed State* should Go to War.
Washington. March 25.—The Star
this evening publishes the following:
Before Rear Admiral Jouette, com
mander of the north Atlantic station,
left Washington to join his flagship at
New Orleans, he spoke very freely of
the Impending troubles in Central
America, as well as in 1’auaiua, and
the necessity for some action on the
part of this government to protect its
interests and assert its rights. The
revolutions In Panama, which occur
with unprecedented frequency, he con
sidered as being closely connected with
the warlike movements of President
Barrios, and attributed both to the
inspiration aud instigation of the
French.
“We’ll have to take a hand in this
matter sooner or later” said the ad
miral, “and In my opinion the sooner
the better. It is for this reason that I
am so desirous of sending to the seat
of troubles all the vessels that we can
muster, aud have suggested that the
Tallapoosa, the Despatch and tlie
Dolphin all be sgnt to join
my squadron. 1 want to show them
that we have some vessels, and do not
intend to be walked over rough-shod.
The Freneh are going to do everything
in their powjr to prevent the construc
tion of any canal but the Pauaina canal,
and in iny opinion Barrios’s move
ments are*not made of his own accord,
but yon will find the French are at the
bottom of it. They will stay at tlie
bottom until the time comes to come to
the top, and then they'll come aud we
had better look out. Now look at that
Pauaraa canal. The French have spent
millions, and intend to. spend millions
more, and they do not intend that it
shall be wasted. To this end they have
secured the ownership of nearly the
whole of the Panama railroad, aud on
that little strip of land, less than fifty
miles wide, they have massed 15,000
workmen. Do yon suppose that there
are no Freuch army officers on the
Isthmus of Panama among those work
men, and do you suppose that every
move we make, or rather that we don’t
make, is not known in France immedi
ately? If you do, you are mistaken,
and it won’t lie a great while before
you, will find out your mistake.”

Buehn was long used by the Hottentots in a
variety of diseases. From these rude prac
titioners, the remedy was borrowed by the
resident English and Dutch physicians, by
whoscj-eromiuendation it was employed in
Europe, and has since come into general use.
Combined with Juniper and other desirable
ingredients, as in thi * preparation it is a re ba
bble remedy for the above diseases.
This article has now been before the public
forseventeen years and its sale has and is con
atantly increasing—and that with verv little
advertising, which proves 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 States in regard
to its reliability as a diuretic, and a remedy
for the diseases for which it is recommended.
We class the above medicine among the
best we ever made and the sufferers of Kid
ney and Bladder affections 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 us a few days ago who nud taken
six bottle^ of one of the extensively advertised
medicines without benefit, and one bottle of
