In saying that "lie has done*all that could he expected of him,” John Koach tells the literal truth, for no sensible man can expect honest work at his hands. That isn’t the point.

Congressman Morrison has an nounced his purpose to introduce a tariff reform hill at the next session of Congress. This is right. The party is committed to the reform of the tar iff. The honest business sentiment of the country demands it. The argu ment of party expediency used against the bill of last- session will not then have even the semblance of force in it. Whether the bill to be introduced be of the “horizontal” or of the perpen dicular variety, no Congressman pro fessing to'be a Democrat will have any excuse for voting against it. If the Democratic protectionists choose to kick out of the party traces when the question jeomes.up, let'them do so. It will be fouiitl, in the long run, that their room is at a wonderful premium over th tir company. Even protectionist papers in the South maintain that, in the course of a few years, this section will surpass the North in cotton manufactures, be cause of its cheaper labor, cheaper liv- iug and immediate contact with the cotton fields. This is going to be ac-. complisfaed in spite of the fact that there is absolute free trade and unfet tered competition between the two sections. The South possesses the same advantages over England, ami they are greater in degree; and this feet suggests this inquiry: If there is no need of protection to enable the new industries of the South to compete with the old industries of the North, whv is there any need of protection to enable it to compete with those of TSn<riand which labors under still -renter disadvantages than the North?

Philadelphia, June 15.—Twenty book-keepers are employed by Lang- field, Turner A Andrews, manufac turers of leather goods. Among the number until this afternoon was a young entry clerk known as Charles Hunter. He was engaged about six months ago, and did the work as- sigued him in a perfectly satisfactory manner, lie was quite effeminate in ap]>earance and conduct, and though fully 23 yeare of age had not a suspi cion of a moustache or beard on his face. His clothes did not fit him, ami had evidently been purchased at a ready-made clothier’s. The other book-keepers guyed their companion, and many of them acquired the habit of rubbiug him on the chin as they asked where bis beard was. All these jokes the young persou took iu good part, and even listened with relish to the fabulous tales of the clerks about the frail sex. SUSPICIOUS ABSENCES. He attended to the duties in the counting room with fidelity until about a month ago, when lie begau to ah sent himself for about an hour every forenoon and an hour every afternoon. This went oh For some time without occasioning comment, but the chief book-keeper finally found it hi? duty to report the new clerk. It was also observed that Hunter became preoccu pied and less careful about the work. Mr. Turner and his partner had a con ference about the young clerk. They decided to give him a further trial, ami directed the bead book-keeper to cau tion him, but Hunter continued to take his departure as usual, aud the absence was of the same duration. A young clerk in the front office, who doubtless kuew by experience when policy numbers were posted, advanced the theory to his employer that Hunter bought lottery tickets. a surprise. This afternoon Mr. Andrews, who prides himself on his ability as a stud ent of character, decided to stop what he believed to be ltunter’s only vice, and at the same time to surprise and trick him of his secret. So, when the young man re-entered, after the usual absence, Mr. Andrews called him into the inner office, and, after closing the door, began slowly aud solemnly: “We have found you out, and the best-thing for you to do is to make a clean breast of everything.” Indeed .” Consternation was depicted in the clerk’s face. “Yes, 1 know this is a delicate tiling for both of us,” continued Mr. An drews. “But we have stood it as long as we can. Now, will you tell «ne one thing more?” The employer now knew that he was on the right track to a tale of embezzlement or worse. “Certainly,” was the answer, with a sob. “Why doyou go away twice a day ?” “To nurse my baby. You see, I had him boarded out, but had to bring him home because he didn’t thrive on the bottle.” The look on the merchant's face can not be described. Here was a young man in trousers talking about nursing a baby. Andrews had intended to surprise Hunter, but Huuter had par alyzed him. “What! are you a woman?” “You just said you knew all about it, didn’t you?” “Yes: oh, yes; so I did,” stuttered the confounded Andrews. Then the young woman burst into tears, realiz ing that she bad been deceived into a confession. determined to earn bread. To a correspondent she saidI: “My name is Mrs. Elizabeth Hunter and my husband has been a clerk iu the dry. goods house of Riegel, Scott & Co. Six months ago liis health became very, bad ami we saw distress threatening us. I had a young baby and that com plicated the situation very much. We did not know what to ao. We came from Michigan. 3Iy father owned a store in the village where he lived. I was taught to keep books. I suggest ed that I get a place as bookkeeper. I got a neighbor to take the baby at a dollar a week, and I sought a position. My sex prevented me from succeeding. I became desperate. Our money was nearly exhausted, and my husband, poor fellow, was unable to work more than half the time. We must have means to live. I measured myself as well as 1 could. Then I bought a cheap ready-made suit. I told them it was for my brother. SEEKING A SITUATION. “I then went to the Young Men’s Christian Association, registered and waited for a situation to seek me. Mr. Turner’s son attends there. He is a generous-hearted young fellow. He got acquainted with me an ! secured me the situation. I did ray work faithfully until forced to bring my child home. He did not do well with the nurse. Cow’s milk did uot agree with him. I dou’t know if I make myself clear to a young man like you, but I can’t help it. My daily absence to feed little James attracted attention and I have lost ray situation. I earn ed only $4 a week, but was to have had ray wages raised the first of next month*. I shall now have to leave town, because I am told that I have broken a State law in assuming men’s clothes. I have kept the wolf from the door, however, and saved my re spect. I’d like to find a place in New York where an honest woman can earn au holiest liviug. Do I intend to resume male attire? Yes, if no other means is open. 1 mean to Jive and uot to fell. It’s a sensorious world this, bnt I’m ready to adopt any desperate means to success that does not lead to moral disgrace.” . CUBE FOB- FIFES.

AN OFFICER 5 WHO- KNEW HIS BUSINESS. Maj. Joel Crawfor was a man of mark ih ht^: day, and was beaten for Governor by liou. Wilson Lumpkin. He served iu Congress with distinction.

While living in Hancockcountv,on one occasion, through .neglect. of for getfulness, he failed to pay. his taxes. The TaK.Collector gave uotice that he would close his books on a certain day, aud those failing to |wy their taxes would have executions issued against them. One day while stain ling on the street in Sparta, the Sheriff said to him: “Maj. Crawford, I have an exe cution against you tor failing to pay your taxes.” The Major was takeu by surprise, but said, “who is the Tax Collector; I don’t kuow him, but 1 must go and see him, for 1 have found one. public of ficer who knows how to discharge his duty as an officer without fear or favor.” Some men in his position would have felt that tliey had been in sulted by the Collector. On another occassion, during a politi cal ca npaign,when in Macon at the La nier House, a number of geutleinen were expressing their opinions about the intelligence and virtue of .the mass of the people. The Major did not take much stock in the compliments paid the masses, for he well knew the peo ple were swayed by their party feel- ings, passions or admiration for certain party leaders. Toombs, Stephens, Cobb, Colquitt and others were in their "lory as party leaders. Maj .'Crawford listened until he got tired of the eulogy on the people, when he said: “Gentle men, I have heard a great deal about the virtue and intelligence of the mass of die jieople, hut allow me to say after 40 years of pretty good acquaintance with the mass of the {leople, 1 consider them a set of d—u fools.” "That is decidedly, Major, a left- handed compliment to the people,” said a gentleman. “It is true, gentlemen,” observed the Major, “the masses do not think, but are swayed by the public speakers who flatter them.” THE HOSFiTALITII 8 OF TIIE OCCASION. Gen. John W. A. Sanford, of Mil- ledge vi lie, Ga., a man of some note in his day’ was elected to the Legislature from Baldwin county by one vote over his oppouent, Col. Brisco-. It was an exciting campaign for ti e county, for both candidates were free with their money, and treating was the order of the day. as everything seemed to de pend upon tiie floating vote, of which the county had its share of such voters. As stated Gen. Sanford was elected by one vote. ‘The next morning after the election the General appeared upon the streets, but there was no smile upon his face and uo expression of victory in his manner. He looked troubled and so felt, and told his friends that the in tended to notify the Governor that he would not serve, and to order another election. Ills friends conld not per suade him from his fixed purposes, and iu a letter to the people of Baldwin county, he said: “The election was hotly contested, great exertions were made by my friends, I dispensed the nstial hospitalities on such occasions, and I cannot conscientiously take the oath as a legislator on account of the manner In which I secured ray elec tion.” A new election was held and Col. Briscoe was elected. Gen. Sanford had remarkable convereotional pow ers, and was choice and elegant in his expressions. TIRED—80 TIRED. Dr. Benjamin A. White, of Mil- ledgeville, was a noted physician, and stood high among his professional brethren. He had an Investigating mind, and was a close observer and great reader. He bad stood time and again at the bedside of the dying, and had a great desire to know how the dying felt. The time at last came when lie would have to experience for himself the sensations of the dying. He said to his sou, Dr. S. G. White, an eminent man himself in the profession: “Samuel, you know I liavfe often ex pressed a desire to knowhow the dying felt in their last moments if conscious. I have but a few days longer to live, and I wish you, when you know I am dying, to ask me how l feel. M; will probably beat a few secom I am dead.” The time came, and when Dr. Sam uel White saw that his father was sinking, aroused him, and asked: •Father, how do you feel?” The o.d doctor opened his eyes, aud said: "Tired,tired—so tired,” and in a short time closed his eyes in death. If there be a rest for the good after death, then Dr. B. A. White ceased to be tired, and entered upon his eterual rest and greeted the joyful forever. THEY WILL HANG THAT MAN. It has "always beem customary to preach to the 1 unities in the State Lu natic Asylum, near Milledgeville, on Sunday. Different ministers Would officiate. It so happened on one occa sion that the Rev. Dr. Saranel K. Tal mage, President of Oglethorpe Univer sity, was asked by Dr. Green, the Superintendent, to officiate. Dr. Tal mage consented. In the course of the sermon Dr. Tal mage. was Illustrating the feeling of pardon; how a sinner feels tfhen he knows that he has received pardon for hissius. He illustrated his point by supposing a man was sentenced to be hung; but some friend of the con demned had gone to see the Governor to ask for a reprivo or pardon. “The day of execution.” said the reverend doctor, “arrives, but the mes senger who had gone io see the Gov ernor has not returned. The doomed inained steadfast to his vows of love, and carried about with him in bis heart an ever-present picture of the he _was_so ilevqt- About six years ago he landed in Savannah and started business as a peanut 'vender.

A short while ago, this faithful swain, who has not seen his sweet heart—who by the way bears the |»oet- ic name of Orauea Stamelio—for thir teen yeare received a letter from her stating that if he did not make haste and return to fulfill his youthful pledges he would “find her nnder- grouud with the earth all over her.” The bare Idea of sucli a catastrophe threw him into consternation, and feeling that his worldly prospects were now sufficiently good to justify him in taking the step he had so longdesired, he embarked for Greece, there to .he united to the devoted of his souk After his marriage he witf return to Savannah with Ins bride. May they both realize the full measure of "happi ness which their remarkable fidelity so richly merits. N* More Subsidies. Atlanta Constitution. Men like Mr. John Roach are prob ably convinced that the country no longer has a subsidy Administration; tor a case in point has coine up and been decided against the jobbers. It arose in this way: Tiie jobbers when beaten in an open fight, slipped a clause, appropriating $400,000, in the discretion of the Postmaster-General, for distribution among American steamship companies carrying the mails, in the post-oliiee appropriation bill. Tiie bill was reported altogether too late in the session anyway, and when it come up for final action mem bers had to choose between the subsidy clause and the failure of the entire bill, which would have necessitated an ex tra session. The subsidy clans» was therefore retained; but the Postmaster- General has decided not to use ti e money placed at his disposal. He finds a precedent for his decision in the action of General Grant in relation to a river and harbor grab that was log-rolled through Congress. General Grant refused to take the steps to make tiie money available. It was left in the treasury, where the President and the Postmaster-General propose to per mit the $400,000 to remain. Mr. Vilas bases his excellent and wholly admirable decision upon well known facts. It is not necessary, he says, to expend the money in* order to secure the ocean mail service required. He thinks the present compensation is high enough, aud that if the money were distributed as the Dill suggests ft would be Insufficient to secure more or better service. He does not think the Pacific mail steamship company is entitled to all or the largest part of the sum, and a distribution to all the com panics interested he considers al togeth er injudicious. It would simply be a waste, or gift of so much money, with no returning beuefits. It is not claimed that the steamship companies are not well paid at present; it is simply claimed that because the steamships are owned in this country they should have a slice of the people’s money as a gift of gratuity. The gift business has been overdone, and Mr. Vilas is enti tled to the thunks of the country for calling a halt at the very outset of the new administration. It* is safe to say there will be no more subsidies while Mr. Cleveland is President. | The contracts with the steamship companies expire on the firs* of next mouth, and they threaten, it Is report ed, “to strike” unless the Postuiaster- Geueral hauds over the sum iif ques tion to them. They will scarcely at tempt to carry out such a threat while Mr. Cleveland is in office. He is the wrong man to worn a bull-dozing scheme upon; and the steamship own ers will be apt to think twice before they endeavor to conquer him in that way. We trust the Postmaster-Gen eral will give them every chance to In augurate tiie proposed scheme, if they are so miuded. It would certainty yield considerable fnu and news dur ing the midsummer dullness, while it Would do uo harm in any direction. Gratuities and bull-dozing would, in such a trial, go down together, and the President and the Postmaster-Gen eral would have not only the people, but Congress, unmistakably and defi antly behind them. manner that your honorable body have met os upon all questions, and the Wadley Memorial Association ‘feel that they can safely entrust to yppr. successors in office the safe custody and perpetual caty,and keeping of this' memorial.

I remarked that I knew something of the place, as 1 bad been with Pope when he made the attack on that place in the earlier part of the war. Major Toller explained that he was one of the gunners in the Confederate battery posted below the city, and asked if I remembered any striking incident in connection with the work of that battery. I did. I remembered that one day there came a shot from that battery that entered the muzzle of one of our own guns, causing an explosion that broke the gun into fragments, and killed several men. Major Toller remarked; “1 remem ber the incident as well as you, and I have better cause to remember it. I fired the shot myself, and there is a story aliont it. One day there came from the Union battery a large shell, that struck without exploding very near our battery.

Y. - It was not the announcement of the death of a distinguished orator, states man, warrior or poet, and yat the pub-' lie press North, East, South aud West was filled with expressions of siucere regret, and eulogies upon his life and character—regrets that a national loss had been sustained in the death of so pure, so successful and practical man; eulogies upon him who had de voted a long and laborious career to the successful develiuent of the mate rial prosperity of the country, and who had given dignity anti character to labor. Such in brief terms was the impres sion made upon the general public by the announcement of the death of Col. Wadley, but how can I property de scribe the sense of irreparable loss and profound grief that filled the hearts and minds of the thousands of em ployes, who recognized in him their beloved chief. His acknowledged ability and suc cess, his integrity of character, his in dexible justice, his comprehensive and far-seeing intellect, his purity of pub lic and private live were looked upon by them with that love and admira tion that children feel for a good, just and distinguished father. That large corporation, known as the Central Railroad and Banking Company,, embracing a magnificent system of steamships and railroads, concentrate J and developed by .his prophetic wisdom aml‘ administrative ability was looked upon by them with pride as a common property,.in which they all held a personal interest. While always looking with jealous care to the great property he repre sented, yet never forgetting the rights and interests of the humblest employe, he has inspired a profound love and respect, such as probably lias never had a parallel iu the history of corpo rations in this country. No wonder then that officers, work men and employes, of every grade and character, of this great corporation, both upon the laud and sea, should have felt that iu his death they had suffered, in common* with the State and corpora t'on, a personal and irre parable loss. How to give expression to this uni- versal aud commendable feeling with them, soon after the death of Col. Wadley, became a mooted question. How to appropriately honor and per petuate the memory of their beloved chief cannot be said to have originated in the mind of any one man, or any one place, but hyacoinmou consents and with unanimity of action on the part of all the employes it was deter mined to perforin the work of love. In its corporate character, the Central Railroad aud Banking Company had very property erected iiiouii merits to the honored Gordon and Cuyler, but not waiting for such action here, tiie employes, prompted by higher consid erations and purposes, resolved to do the work themseh'es. The matter soon took form aud shape by the formation of the Wadley Me morial Association and the election of its officers and board .of directors; and soon large, prompt and voluntary con tributions were placed in the hands of the treasurer, ample for all the noble )li purposes contemplated. It was not designed at first that anv but the employes of the Central rail road would engege in this work, but we fouud that this love and admira- tioa for Colonel Wadley, of which I have spoken, had extended to the Georgia Railroad and Banking Com pany, that noble twin corporation of which we are all so justly proud, ami the Atlanta and West .Point railroad, the Savannah, Griffin ami North Ala bama railroad, the Western railroad of Albania, and Mobile and Girard rail road, and let it be said to tiie honor of all their employes that they asked the privilege of contributing to* this noble work, and did so generously and free ly, thereby endearing themselves to us in the bonds of a common brotherhood. Mr. Robert Cushing, a distinguished artist of New York city, was engaged to do the work, and as 1 look to-day upon the full realization of all our hopes, iu its filial completion, may 1 uot say to the Wadley Memorial Asso ciation, its officers aud board of direc tors, and to ail the employes, whose generous and voluntary contribntions this monument represents, “Welldohe good and faithful servants.” As I look upon the noble form and features so indellibly impressed upon our memories, and which this statue is designed to represent, may I not com pliment the skillful artist in having giveh to us such an artistic piece of work, and so true a likeness ofthe orig inal. Having briefly given the history of this monument from its origin to com pletion, it remains for me, Mr. Mayor ami gentlemen of the city council of Macon, to make a formal tender of it to you, and through you to the city of Macon. Since the time that the sorrows of Artemesia found expression in the im posing tomb of Mausolaus, many elab orate piles of stones and statues of bronzes aud marble have adorned cities of the past and present. Athens abounded in the "raceful and" beauti ful creations of Pliidias and sculptors of less renown. The symmetry and elegance of the statue of* Jupiter Am mon is as widely known as the history of Athens itself. Rome would have proved less attractive wlthont her Tro jan column and other monuments com memorative of personal traits and pub lic services. Ruskin asserts that the history of the literature, science and art, as well as the manners and cus toms of people, with the development of material prpgress, can be traced in statues, tombs and monuments. In this age of utilitarianism, when mate rial progress engages the best efforts of the greatest minds, and especially in America, where the triumphs of peace ful pursuits command more attention and interest than the trophies of victo rious war, do we delight to honor the memories of the Franklins, Steven son?, Fultons and Morses.

THE jrce LINE. A Reporter Interviews a Whisky Denier Concerning n Let of White Jugs. Atlanta Constitution. Yesterday a Constitution man taw a large number of white jug* In front of a wholesale whisky house, and stop ping a moment said to the proprietor of the establishment: “What are those jugs for?” “They are prohibition jugs,” was the reply. “They are on the jug line between here and. prohibition settle ments.” The reporter said he had" heard the stories of the jug line but he supposed it was ail a joke. “Joke!” exclaimed the man of li quors. “It’s no joke. It’s solemn truth. We sell a car-load of jugs eve ry month. That is six hundred, and they go tilled with whisky to prohibi tion towns and prohibition counties.” The dealer added: “And yon bet we make ’em pay for the liquor! It’s a good trade. In ad dition to getting eash for what we sell, we charge from fifty cents to a dollar a gallon more when we sell to a pro hibition county than we do when we sell to any other section. We’re go ing to teach ’em how to vote against whisky.” “How do the packages go out?” m tm a jug and pack it in a box d it out by express C. O. D.” At that moment two men appeared iu the door-way. One was carrying a valise. Sit still, now,” whispered the whis ky dealer to the reporter. Then, ris ing, lie approached the men and asked what they wanted. “We want some whisky,” was the reply. “To sell again ?” asked the dealer. “No,” was the reply. “Where from?” asked the liquor man. Cobh,” stammered the men, and the liquor dealer broke into a laugh and said: Another prohibition county heard from.” The reporter soon after met a lead- 1 ig temperance worker and related the incident. When is Atlanta going to have a prohibition tight?” asked the rie- jiorter: ~' “When the Legislature passes the ;cneral local option bill,” was the re ply. “There is much auxiety now for an election, but the temperance people have decided that they will not ask for the passage of a special bill. The gen eral local option bill is still before the Legislature, and we believe it wiil pass at the summer session.” Talks around town show a very strong prohibition sentiment, and if the general local option bill become* a law Atlanta will very soon be in the midst of a temperance fight.

A wild yell followed .the report, and he heard a peculiar ‘buckety-buckety’ as the person disappeared in the dis-. tance.

Simply because so many peo ple have it. Why are so many people talking about, their core from this dreadful disease? Simply because they have been taking Brown’s Iron Bitters. Thus it is with Mrs. Taylor, of Lynchburg, Sumter Co., S. C., who says, “I have used Brown’s Iron Bit ters for dyspepsia with most favorable results. I believe this medicine is all that is represented.” Dyspeptics, and sufferers from neuralgia, weakness, etc., should try it.

The famous Panama hats are all made in Guayaquil, Ecuador, and get their name because Panama mer chants formerly controlled the trade.

It often Lakes two or three weeks to braid a- single hat, which sells for five or six dollars and lasts forever.

Augusta Chronicle. At this time of the year there is al ways some complaint of cholera mor bus and kindred diseases. Some peo ple ascribe their illness to eating fruit and vegetables. Others think there is something uncanny or electric in the atmosphere. Fresh vegetables or fruit or berries in their season ought to be wholesome, especially if properly pre pared. It may be that fruits and ber ries are sugared too much, so as to de stroy the sub-acid flavor, which con stitutes their healthfulness, creating instead a dangerous fermentation in the stomach. The atmosphere, no doubt, plays its pranks with the human system, but it is often accused unjust ly- We suspect, therefore, that vegeta bles and fruits and berries that pro duce trouble intestinally are either too ripe or too unripe, and possibly too much sweetened. The Baltimore Sun, alluding to the dangerous illness of a family from eat ing soup, calls attention to the fact that the disturbance came from cook ing In wbat purported to be a tin ves- l. It seems that tiie best tin-plate and tinned untensils are made of iron coated with pore or nearly pure tin, and it is hardly possiole that any ordi nary article of food should be made poisonous by contact with ware thus made, tin being practically insoluble hi the liquids that cooks ordinarily have occasion to deal with. Instead of pure tin a cheap alloy containing from one-third to two-thirds lead is some times used to coat the materials of which utensils are made, and the pois oning was • probably done with load dissolved out of the saucepan by tbe acid of the tomatoes used in tiie soup. It is just as well that housekeepers should, from time to time, investigate their kitchens and utensils. And, in this connection, itTnay be mentioned that no vessel can compare with an earthen one for soup preparation. While there are some few cases of stomach disease in Augusta, which presumably arise from improper diet or some abuse of the functions, we are pleased to know, from the re ports of several physicians, that the city is an usually healthy.
