A car load of lierf cattle passed

Andrew Kenedy, a Democratic
member of Congress from Indiana

tell you that the more you tax tilings
the cheaper they get. Great Osar,”
he added, “suppose they should tell

A hoof Coffee.
Coffee is higher than it has ever been
before for any considerable period.
The coffee situation i% therefore, in
teresting, not to say serious. Accord
ing to a New York special to the In
dianapolis News, which treats of the
cofiH* question at considerable length,
gamldlng in it just now is wilder than
in any stock- or in any other produce.
The price ha* advanced 100 |ier cent.
In a year, ami, if the lowest and high
eat price* are taken. *50 percent. It
the present situation continue? the
coffee-lriuker* in tin* United State-
will pay $50,000,000 more for it than
they paid in 1385. ami $00,000,000 more
than they paid in 1882. The rise in
price Is, therefore, equal to theimpo-
•ieintrtof abort $1 on every man, wo
man and child (whether coffee drink
ers or not;, in the country. And it
the movement continues upward,coff.*-
will |ias* out or the daily use of tiir
*>enplr and Inronii* a luxury. Tin
cause of this «tartliug advance in prio
I* tliree-fohl. The i*ott*ttiu)Ki»ti lia
Increased much more rapidlv than the
•npply. Iii 1807 the consumption |«ei
capita was 4.77 pounds; in 1873, I’w
first year alter It wa* put on the free
list, it was 9.07; in 1884 it was 9.59.
and It l»n* elncc Increased: The range
of prices luto liecn for fair llio In I860
13 cents; In 1870; 10 to 11*4 cents; i-
1880, 14 to 14*3 cento; May or la*-
year, 9*4 cento. Now* it is about 21
cents.
Another cause i* the chance given
for gambling by the necessary lack of
trustworthy crop re;*»rts. Till* is no
concerted news gathering in inland
Brazil.
The third cause i* the estimated
shortness of the crop it* Brazil, wh'ch
has now just been gathered and tt ill
begin to arrive about July 1st. The
Brazil crop is estimated at from 2,*250.-
000 to 4,500,000 bags. The ex|>et-ta-
tion a year ago was of a crop of from
5,000,000 to 0.000,000 bags. A short
age of 1.000,000 bag* from Brazil will
keep prices where they now are. The
crop in Java Is also short. In Ceylon
the leaf disease lias reduced the pro
duction by at least one-half. Thus
the supply of the very be*t coffee is
sure to be smaller till* year than it lias
been for a generat'on.
To-day the highest figures are paid
for Mysore coffee, ami it is considered
the best grown. Mysore is a part of
Upper British India, and the cultiva
tion of the berry is entirely under
Ktiropeuu control. Tims far the leaf
disease, which has spread such havoc
over Java aud Ceylon, has left British
India alone; but how long It will do
so it Is hard to say. All attempts to
grapple with this disease have proved
fruitless, and if it ever puts in an ap
pearance in Brazil the days of coffee
drinking will be numbered. There
are those who believe (hat unless the
leaf disease can be grappled with suc
cessfully it is only a question of time
when a cup of coffee will be as great a
luxury as a bottle of champagne.
Whether or not the price will lie
maintained at so high a figure will de
pend much on the future of specula
tlou. The only coffee exchange In the
couutry Is that iu New York, which
now has a great boom. The fever l
higher than ever before in the history
of the trade. There is more gambling
in it than in any other grocery staph
The present uncertain outlook of the
supply 1ms brought outsiders into the
S|>eculation. Syndicates have been
often formed to pull the market, tint
in the majority of cases they have
failed. The syndicates of 1883, after
costing the consumers of coffee over
$8,000,000, lost more than it made, and
brought down several large houses.
The principal members of that syndi
cate were Havre aud Rio houses, with
some New York firms added. The
present syndicate which is boomin':
prices is composed of New York,
French and Brazilian houses, and is
by far thestrougestever formed. There
are, however, ether outside houses
which arc hulls on the situation, and
several have made a good roiiud sum
already. Messrs. Hard & Rand, who
do not speculate in options, but are the
largest importers of coffee in this
country, have netted everywhere from
$500,009 to $750,000. If we consider
that a bag of coffee, which a year ago
was worth say $13, is to-day $26, the
greatest advance having taken place
within the hist three weeks, the above
estimate is not unreasonable, if it is not
entirely too small. Arnold, the old
‘•Coffee King,” has had his share of
the spoils, and so ha* Selligsberg, wiio
acted for the defunct syndicate iu 1883.
The Arbuekles, who are the largest
distributors of coffee iu the world,
must have netted at least a half million
dollars, although they were not bulls
on the market. This sum they have
made in the ordinary run of trade.
Cotton brokers, and even Wall street
financiers, have come into the option
market, a* the activity on the coffee
exchange has been for some time more
attractive than either cettou or stocks.
What the actual result of the present
speculative craze will be is hard r»
say, but if the prescut conditions con
tinue, the c •iisutuers in the chief cot-
l'ee-drinking countries will have to pay
this year about $120,000,000 more for
the cup than they have ever |iaid in
any previous year.

William Kissank is still an object of
great interest In the West. A San
Francisco dispatch of May 30th says:
“The whereabouts of William Kissaue
ha* been definitely ascertained. He Is
not secluded in Victoria, but remains
at his ranch near Sonora. Deputy
United States Marshal Hopkius went
to Sonora three days ago, commission
ed to serve a subptriia on him in the
case entitled. “Chemical National
batik of New York against William
K. Rogers,” an action brought to re
cover on certain alleged forged notes
iu jmssessiou of the bauk. Hopkins
states on are riving in town he began
inquiring of the citizens of the
pla*:e as to where Kissaue could
be found, and the answer inva
riably was that he had gone to
British Columbia, coupled with den
unciation of his supposed persecutors.
The deputy marshal says, however, he
found him at his ranch and served the
papers on him. Hopkius says other
suits of a similar character will lie
started. The deputy says, in Souoiua
county tlie feeling against Kissaue's
prosecutors is extremely bitter.”
Enforcing the Sunday Laws.
One of the marked phases of life in
the large cities of this country is the
•mformnent of the Sunday laws,
••'rom the largest to the smallest there
is a steady progress in thi* way.
In some of the great cities new Sun
day laws have been enacted, while In
others old laws that were either born
dead or |>erudtlcd to die of neglect
have Imh-ii resurrected aud put into
force.
In St. laniis, one of the most wick
ed of the American cities, the Sunday
law movement is being pushed with
determination. There was an effort
there as everywhere to cripple it by
the literal interpretation which would
stop the necessary doings of the day.
But tlie evangelical alliance of that
city is uot to lie bullied, and it was re
solved upon a strong prosecution
the great cause of Sunday lawlessness
—the saloons. It is not to lie turne*l
aside by any counter movements ot
against the necessities of life au«l travel
on that day, but is'evidently deter
mined to push steadily on toward a
• losing up or the Sunday saloon; and
it w ill succeed. .
The recent proceedings In New York
Uity, whether founded on good sense
or not, have shown that the law can be
enforced. Nothing, indeed, has been
so clearly demonstrated In this Sunday
saloon campaign as the falsehood of
the old excuse that It was Impossible to
enforce law on the Sunday saloon; and
this alone Is a great victory.
The financial article of the New
York Herald, on Sunday, said: “Just
now tlie prospect is cheerful, as the re
cent rainfalls have done Incalculable
benefit in region* that were suffering
from the .drouth. The financial and
commercial skies also have brightened.

Plagiarism is not confined to jour
nalism. but is extensively practiced in
the pttlpir, if wo are to believe the fol
lowing from Dr. Tnlmage: “I once
occupied the novel position of sitting
in a pew in my own church, listening
to a minister preaching to my own
congregation ohe of my own sermons.
No, not from notes. It had been
memorized, and 1 don't imagine that
the brother kr.ew whose sermon he
was repeating. Sermons go the round
sometimes without name, and are
taken up and preached iu that way.
My wife listened to one of my sermons

Informed me a couple of years ago that
uiiuister had lieen dismissed from
the conference for preaching one of
my sermon*—not because It was a ser

ed it as one of his own.”
The following is a very interesting
account of how a sensible and well
mannered Negro cuioys first-cia*s
hotel accomodations at Washington:
“So f».r ns 1 can learn, only one col
ored man make* a habit of registering
at a first-class Washington hotel. He
is Henry O. C. Atwood, the Unite!
States Consul at Sail Douiiugo, and he
is given hi* ro mi because he sn ikes no
trouble and recognizes practically tlie
fact that both the proprietor and the
guests urght lie di*please-l if he came
among them. When he comes to tlie
clerk's desk he registers like the other
guest* aud has his nw n, usually a
good one, assigned to him. The other
guest* ask if dinner, or supper, as
the case many be, is teady, aud tlieu
pass Into the public dining-room, but
Mr. Atwood instead 1* asked jiolitely
it he wishes anything to eat. Very
frequently lie does, tor colored consuls
after traveling have nearly the same
apjietites as white ones. an.I a bill' of
fare Is seut with him to his room. Ho
orders his meals there, has them
served to him behind his closed
door aud tlie white guests, of
course, escape the coutamina-
tious. When* lie wants to go out
he is permitted to pass through
the lobby aud ride ou the elevators if
white people dou't want to use them,
but be is expected to remember that
he is received under tlie rose and Is
not to stand 'rouud loug enough
among other guests to expose the
secret. It is said that he Is satisfied
with the arrangement and never makes
any complaints.”
The Rev. I. W. Waddell is laid np

Not (lie direct taxes (aid tlie state and

they are the chea|N*»t means of secur

protection aud privileges, duties that
grow out of rights guaranteed by law.
It Is uot by reason of voluntary tax
tliat we pay in tlie use of tobacco ami
the few other luxuries tliat we enjoy,
for tliat is as a uilst to tlie Atlantic
ocean when compared to' the burden
of taxation imposed by tile protective
tariff.
The farmer not only pays an annuity
to die pampered manufacturers for
what necessaty articles lie uses, but lie
pays in au increased per cent, of profits
to merchants, artisans, etc., for die tax
imposed on them by the tariff.
Tims it is that every agricultural
community is sustained by die honest
tillers of the soil, and on tlieir should

imposition. It is no wonder tliat
lands have depreciated under the tax,
which is as unjust as it is enormous,
and the wrongs of the agriculturist*

ty have been happily -elected | ulatc the price of labor. The laws
with reference to their eminent qnali
ficatiou* for the position they so ad
mirably fid. They are men who have,
by ju liri ins conduct of their own af
fair*. met with a measure ol Individ
ual surer**.* that entities them to the
enjoy incut of the confidence of their
fellow-citizens. With an eye s'ngle to
die public weal they left no stone un
turned, Iu their official capacity, to
cure to the pnblic the benefits or a free
bridge «hi the most advantageous
term*. And, after testing every ex
pedient, they have at last, by their ac
tion, put a long vexed question In
way of ei*y, cheap and permanent so
lution.
Iu accepting die most liberal offer ot
Colonel lift, the Commissioner* have
acted wi-rly, and every fair-minded
mau cannot but agree with them in the
belief tli it a ratification of tlieir con
tract will best subserve the interest* of
Dong erty county.
The pre-cut statu* of the question
represent* a concession from Colouel
Tift tliat it was thought impossible to
secure, hut die Colonel, looking to
public li trtuouy, lias generously con
sidered dir public weal of more con
sequence than las own private futer-
terest. and it would be a graceful pnL-
lic act in die way of appreciation of
lit* public spirit to poll a large and
uuaiiimiMi* rote in favor of ratification.
Tho*e who bad the interest of the
«omuiunity at heart looked with alarm
ou dir prospect ot a disruption of die
uuaiiiiiity of sentiment aud concert of
action that has characterized this
county, that a bridge below the city
would have caused. Nothing but the
best Interest of die county would have
swerved die Com miss loners from
their purpose. The bridge below
would lia«c been iuconveuient for two-
thirds of the residents of Dougherty.
The present location is so admirably
selected for every section that the
disadvantages of the other would have
forever beeu a serious drawback to its
proving satisfactory.
The Couiiuigsionets therefore con
sidered it tiielr duty to cousult tbe
convenience and interest of the whole
rather than that of a small per cent, of
die population.
Let eveiy man do his duty. Tlie
privilege of the ballot imposses the
duty of voting ou pnblic questions,
and it behooves all to vote intelligent
ly to tlie end that the public interest
may be *ob*erved. Don't be indiffer
ent to a question of such moment and
stay away leaving its control In the
hand* of others, but exercise your
right ai.d duty as a citizen to raise
your voice iu behalf of progress and
pro*jM*ritv.
There i* no opposition of any conse
quence to die ratification, yet through
public apathy it Is possible for die
wishes of our people to be defeated ina
matter dint lias already cost Dougher
ty county an incalculable sum in re
tarding her growth. No oue but
lie who loves contention and no
toriety can find It in his heart to
oppose a measure so forceful In its In
fluence* on the future growth aud
prosperity of a county that is making
rapid stride* ou the road to progress.
Tlie News and Advertiser therefore
take* it. with a knowledge of the uni
versal good sense of our people, that
ratili'-atloii will be almost unanimous.
So let It he.
of supply and demand are inexorably
fixed, and have a* much dyuatuic force
under adverse legislation as if left
uutramnielletL As loug as men have
faith iu Iitimau honesty of purpose,
mouey will l<e loaned at a* high rate
of lute re *t a* ixis.-ible under the con
dition* of the negotiation.
Tlie interest tliat money brings con
trols, in a great measure, tlie cliarac
ter of inve*tOM»ts. If it pays bettei
to pnt It out ou security, e. pltalist*
have no Inducement* t»» invest it per
manently. Tliat I* one reason why
we luve so few manufacturing enter
prises in this section; tlie capital of tlx
country being limited, fiuds employ
ment in discmiiitfng short time pa
per* at a rate t '.at Is altogether satis
factory to !l* holder*, and no one b
tempted to experiment in new enter
prise*.
At the. Xorth.capltalists are cot tent
ed to earn ou investments at from 4 to
6 perceut., but lie re 12 |ier cent. Is re-
girded a small return.
There !* no field that offers so profit*
able an occupation for capital as South
west Georgia. All tlie available capi
tal is u*e*l iu advancing to farmers and
merchants, and many cuterpri*e* that
offer fine inducements fo in vestments
are wlwlly neglected. Some ol these
enterprise* would pay very liau«!*« me-
ly. but capitalists prefer to call in their
money and finger it once a year at
paying rates, rather than venture ti|>on
an untried sea. aud the proverbial cau
tious character of capital Is. In this,
fully and fairly illustrated.
Albany would prove a most excel
lent polut for the establishment of a
variety works, wooden-ware manufac
tory, cotton and wooleu mills, water
works, canning establishment and
other enterprises that would reanimate
our section with a new life and vigor.
Luxuriant Hair
i Can only be preserved by keeping the
] scalp clean, cool, and free from dan-
1 ilnill, and the body in a healthful
condition. The great popularity of
j Ayer's Hair Vigor is due to the fact
| tliat it cleanses the scalp, promotes the
j growth of the hair, prevents it from
falling out, and gives it that soft and
aso essential to perfect beauty.
Frederick Hardy, of Boxbury, Mass.,
a gentleman fifty years ot age, was fast
losing his hair, and what remained waa
growing gray. After trying various
dressings with no effect, he commenced
the use of Ayer’s Hair Vigor. “It
stopped the falling oat,” he writes;
“and, to my great surprise, converted
my white hair (without staining the
scalp) to tke some shade of brovm it
had when I was 25 years of age.”
Ten Years Younger.
Mrs. Mary Montgomery, of Boston,
writes: “Far years, I
to wear a dress cap to
spot on the crown of my head; bat now
I gladly lay the cap aside, for your Hair
Vigor is bringing oat a new growth. I
coaid hardly trust my senses when I
first found my hair growing; bat there
it is, and I am delighted. I look ten
yean younger.**
A similar result attended the use of
Ayer's Hair Vigor by Mrs. O. O. Pres
cott, of Charlestown, Mass., Miss Bessie
H. Bedloe, of Burlington, Vt., Mrs. J. J.
Barton, of Bangor, Me., and numerous
jl’cnnl JUtlccs.

I am told,” say* General Sherman,
that within a short time a back coun
try mail came into the town »f Cum
berland. \V. Va., accompanied by a
colored man. ami be<au to make in
quiry a* to the selling price of “uig-
gers.” He wanted to s dl hi* colored
man, so lie *aid..and lie came to tow n
for that purpose. It scent* al
most iui|M>»*ibIe tliat such a thing
should occvur over twenty year* after
the close of the war, ami yet it may
have occurred.” Mr. Sheruiau might
have giveu more force to thi* cara|taign
He by loratitig It hi Alabama.* where
lie was given lo understand by a hotel
proprietor that he couldn't entertain
Negroes Iu Id* rooms.
One of the professors of tlie Uni
versity of Georgia delivered a sage
saying when lie remarked- tiiat our
boys were sent to college at too tender
an age. They go before they are able
to fully appreciate the advantages they
enjoy. Many bright miuds never have
tlieir possibilities developed for reason*
tliat are well known to tlie average
University student. Instead of boy*
being sent to collage just at the forma
tive stage of character, they should
be kept under tbe restraints of home
influences and sent to college after
the age of tweuty.
The canning business of this coun
try Is getting to be Immense. Fifty-
five million cans were used last year
for canning tomatoes alone, and as
many as two hundred million cau*
were used for other vegetables. A
large proportion of the contents of
these cans was consumed iu the South, j should like to see tld* questiou deter-
bot nearly all tlie profits went to the ! mined by our Supreme Court. 3Iort-
Yankees, who made* the cans and pro- gages as au evidence of debt have been
duced the vegetables. We ought to I placed ou the same footing as plain

Our truck farmers would tlieu have a reality the taxation of a mortgage aud

The Boston Globe thinks that Mr
Sherman's Springfield, III., speech
practically removes him from the list
of available candidates for tbe Repnb-
lican nomination for President. Con
tinuing Its comments, the Globe says:
There I* no surer method of com
mitting political suicide in these days
than to invite the country to a renew
al of the old bitterness between the
North and the South and attempt to
divide it ujiou the threadbare contro
versies which proceeded and accom
panied the war. Mr. Sherman has,
with much elaboration of eloquence,
chosen this means of destroying what
ever chance* he might have had of re
ceiving the Presidential nomination
of hi* party. HU long and labored
address was thoroughly a studied effort
to convince hi* fellow-citizens that the
Democratic |»arty of 1887 Is identical
In its composition, Its spirit, and its
purposes with tbe rebellious Confed
eracy of 1861. Suchja proposition as
tills*!* iieneath argument. To enter
upon a discussion of it would be to of
fer an affrnuti to tbe Intelligence and
good sense as well as the good taste ot
the average American citizen.”
Sam Jones I* holding forth In Nash
ville, Tenti., and the Banner of that
city digs him in tbe ribs as follows:
‘Suppose auy one of our esteemed
resident ministers should rail out
against ‘flannel-mouthed Irishmen
ami galvanized Dutchmen,' would it
be deemed a proper speech by hU con
gregation? Suppose Dr. Witherspoon
hearing some one talking *n the rear
part of Ids church should call out,
•Somebody knock that fellow's teeth
out of Id* month ami I'll pay the
fine!* Siip|M>*eDr. Strickland, hear
ing the tinkle of a milkman's bell,
should startle his congregation by ex
claiming, ‘Somebody make that fool
quit ringing that bell!' Would such
utterances be considered eminently
pru|K*r from the lips of a resident
minister? If not, are they proper
from the li|»* of any 'ther tniniker?”
It is related of a popular pastor of
■Hiutliwest Georgia, who is noted for
1* punctuality, that on the happy oc-
i-a-bm of Ids marriage (be expected at
tendants u • re tardy, aud w'altiug a

It is not tlie hot weatlier. It Is the
hot blood and seething passions that
inaugurate an epidemic of crime. Tbe
truth *s that almost any month during
the winter would show a record of
crime equal In atrocity and prevalence
to the record of tlie first few days ot
June, which tlie Constitution thinks
remarkable, ('rime prefers no sea

The San Francisco Chronicle says
tiiat iu tin: Chinese slave mart a
