King, while having nominal command
of the army and navy, can make but

It has been said, and is probably
true, that anything purchasable can
lie found in New’ York. There has
recently been found there an establish
ment where infants are deposited by
their parent*, and sold by the propritor,
Mrs. Winkleman, 42 East Second
street. A visitor recently went to the
place pretending that he desired a
male infant to replace one just lost.
Mrs. Winkleman showed him
two boys that she had for sale.
Both were well dressed, and all
the surroundings looked clean and
comfortable; they appeared to be re
ceiving tiie best of care, but one w’as

eeks and the other five weeks old.
The woman spoke of another infant, a

the children sent to her were of res

take no other kind; that the usual
price paid her _ was from $5 to $10,
though wealthy people sometimes paid
more. This price, she claimed,
not that of the chiUL but for her ex
pense aud care in keeping them.
There is also mentioned another estab

of all His creatures to the only true
and living God. In every community
where he set bis foot, like the upas tree,
he exales an influence that taints the
moral atmosphere.
It is a sad sight to see one so wonder
fully endowed by his creator not only
denying that which is his reasonable
service, but prostituting his splendid
capabilities to the ignobie purpose of
loosening the faith that anchors others
within the hope-locked harbor of peace
ful rest, and turning them adrift on
the stormy tea of doubt, leaving them
to the mercy of the rude waves of des
pair that soon engulf them.
At a meeting of the Nineteenth
Century Club, held in New York last
week, Col. Ingersoll and two Chris-
the“Iimit of toleration.”
Ingersoll, the adroit lawyer that he
is, the oily Gammon of modern time
commenced with an exordium well
calculated to arrest aud fix the atten
tion of bis large audience as well as
throw their reason from off its guard.
In the name of the liberty of differing
with others in thought and speech,
which none ever denied, he claimed
the right that he accorded to all of dis
agreeing with them. He then drifted
into an argument of purest sophistry,
claiming absolute immunity from ail
responsibility for thought and its ex
pression.
A lawyer of Ingersoll’s experience
and knowledge should he ashamed of
soch an untenable position, even be
fore the law. All crime is the joint
operation of the intention and act, and
the thought or intention of the accused
excuses or condemns him, even under
the imperfect machinery of human
justice. It is a proposition accepted
even by the Infidel, that “as a man
thinketh in his heart, so Is he.”
Thought is the mainspring of action,
and it unbridled liberty be given its
indulgence, unrestrained by Cbrbtlan
principles, the evil thoughts of de
praved human nature will find
pression in the most shocking crimes
against society aud persons.
Society, looking to the preservation
of the bodily health of its members,
has adopted the most rigid sanitary
regulations, removing from possible
contact with others those who are af
flicted with certain forms of contagion.
The soul is of more »alue than the
body, and society should look to the
suppression of anything that is calcu
lated to sow the seeds of immorality, as
do the public expressions of Ingersoll’s
unbridled thoughts. They unsettle
the belief of many a poor wretch of
weak mind, and thus rob them of that
comfort and consolation of which the
Christian religion has a never-failing
supply. A thief which steals that
which brings immunity from toil to any
man, Is visited with public scorn and
legal punishment, but here is one who
robs of that which brings untold quiet
ude and peace that nothing else can
afford. No philosophy can rob death
of Its terrors or light the grave, that
dark threshold of eternity, but the re
ligion of Jesus Christ.
Ingersoll, In concluding his specious
plea for blasphemy, stated his creed,
*The way to be happy is to try to
make everybody else so.” Thus he
adopts the Christian golden rule, and
seeks, by its borrowed light, to illumin
ate the darkened chamber of his soul.
His more brilliant prototype, Voltaire,
once upon an occasion, while convers
ing with the great Milton, said that
the Bible, from which he quoted freely,
was a dung-hill, to which Milton point
edly replied, “I observe that you use
it to enrich a very ungenerous soil/
So with Ingersoll. he would appropri
ate what he would from the Bible,
without giving credit where credit is
due.

of that convention. That convention
was decidedly and emphatically a peo
ples’ convention. The delegates went
she * ,irect, T f«»m the people of the dif
ferent cc unties, and had been plain
ly instructed as to what they
should do. So positive and explicit had
tiie people been in their instructions
that the delegates dared not follow the
old political bosses. The delegates,
fresh trom the people, took the work
before them into their own hands,
without asking these self-appointed
bosses what they should do or how
they should do It; and when the job
was finished the people were satisfied
with it; for it was as they had ordered
it.
Even the Democrats ot Ohio have
fallen into line with an unqualified
indorsement of President Cleveland,
an approval of tlic.Mills Bill, and a re^
quest of the Democratic representa
tives in Congress from that State to
vote for it. The convention demanded
a reduction of the surplus “by a re
duction o" taxation, ami not by ex
travagant aud corrupting appropria
tions,” and pronounced iu favor of re
pealing altogether duties on the pro
ducts of those industries which combine
into “trusts.” The day has evidently
gone by when tiie “Ohio idea” was

tariff question.
Friday was a big day in the House
of Representatives. Speeches were
made on the Mills tariff bill by Sam
Randall, of Pennsylvania, Mr. McKin

Kentucky. Mr. Randall consumed

Mr. Randall Sings the Same old Song.
Mr. Randall, die Pennsylvania Pro
tectionist, of whom so much was ex
pected by the monopolists, has spoken
on the Mills tariff bill. The country
had been led to believe that Mr. Ran
dall would sing a new* song; that he
would Introduce new arguments and
dress the tariff-protected “infant in
dustries” in beautiful and spotless rai-
meut that would at once proclaim them
embryo goddesses worthy of the ador
ation and tribute money of all the com
mon people.
But Mr. Randall sang the same old
song that we have all heard so often
before. The wickedness ot any and
every internal tax, that on whisky in
cluded, was the burden of his argu
ment. He declared that Democrats
before the war never tolerated such
taxes, and, in his opinion, they should
not do so now:
Mr. Randall did not dwell, how
ever, on the fact that before the war
Democrats never tolerated a tariff tax
averaging 47 per cent. It did not suit
the purposes of his line of argument
to even allnde to this fact. And yet
we all know that before the war the
Democrats considered a tariff tax'sver-
aging 20 per cent, burdensome. But
the war came on and made the pen
sions, the big public debt, the interest
charge and tiie sinking fund require
ment. Tiie war put the tariff up to 47
per cent, and of the tax, as.it stands,
at least 27 per cent is a war tax as
much as the internal tax on
whisky, beer and tobacco Is a war tax,
The internal tax has been reduced
over and over, until It is no louger
burdensome ou the whisky and beer
drinkers aud the tobacco chewers and
smokers. While these reductions have
been made In the internal revenue
taxes from time to time, there has been
no corresponding reduction in the
tariff taxes on the necessaries of life.

the other Protectionists who have at
tacked the Mills bill have taken time

That the melon crops have proved
profitable to commission men, no one
can question. In tact, it has given
employment to m tuy shrewd men
that line, who embraced the opportu

The efforts looking to bringing cash

Tiie melon crop is very valuable
this section. It brings money in at
time when its need is felt most keenly,
aud gives remunerative employment
to i!*iy labor and swells the volume
trade at a time when business is suffer
ing from the effects of summer’s stag
nation.
It is unfortunate that the hoik of the
melon crop, in proportion to its value,
is so great as to wake the cost of
portution apparently so high. The
cost of transportation consumes a
proportion of the value of the crop.
Fully one half of the total receipts of
the melon crop go to the transporta
tion lines, yet we must bear in mind
that the transportation companies cre
ate the whole value, of which they
take but half.
Of the whole sum of our total ex
ports in 188G, which were nearly
$700,000,000, the manufactured goods
constituted only 16 per cent. This
proves a great deal, and accounts for
the low ebb of the merchant marine
for which Republicans and Protection
ists affect to be so much concerned.
With the profits made possible through
the protective tariff, our manufacturers
are content to monopolize the home
mark t, without making sufficient ef
fort to reach out for trade in foreign
territories. • The effect of this has been
to break down American shipping by
keeping it “as idle as a painted ship
upon a painted ocean.’/ The manu
facturers rest content in selling to their
own countrymen a lesser' amount
of goods at large profits, when, by cul
tivating foreign trade, they could
quadruple their sales and reduce profits
correspondingly. To say that Ameri
can manufacturers cannot compete
with the world in quality and prices is
to stigmatize American ingenunity and
industry. America leads the world in
the arts of invention, and her bound
less resources in material and skilled
labor make her the peer of any manu
facturing country on the face of the
globe. But those who assume to speak
for the manufacturing, interest either
misrepresent it uuwitingly or willing
ly, for they would have us believe that
manufacturers were so blinded by
selfishness as to be unable to see the in
justice of wringing from their over
taxed fellow-countrymen an annuity
by which the profits are increased. It
surely would seem that all should be
willing to share the common burdens
of taxation, and participate ia the gen
eral blessings of the prosperity which
must surely attend a country where
the reciprocal duties of all classes were
faithfully discharged.
The ConstitutiorTwon’t stay recon*
•iled. After every profession of ac
quiescence to the will of the people,
comes a rebuke to the party for not
adopting its views first, and secondly
for not electing men who did not rep
resent Democratic principles. Har
mony is greatly to be desired, but those
who say with most unction it is pleas
ant for brethren to dwell together in
unity, are generally the little faction
that kicks up all the racket because
the large majority won’t hormonize
with their views. A party which
buys peace at tiie sacrifice' of princi
ple has not long to fight over the spoils
of office.
The Texas Democrats, in convention
assembled, indorsed President Cleve
land and the Mills tariff bill, and takto
a * old stand against the father agita
tion of the prohibition question in
Texas.' The convention urged that the
commercial restrictions between Mexi
co ami the United States be removed
The people all aloug the frontier
should be in a position to properly es
timate the effect of such restrictions,
ami their opinion should carry weight
with. They are not afraid of the com
petition, and honestly believe that the
cultivation of closer commercial rela
tions between the two conn tries will
eventuate in the benefit or the Ameri-
ple.
Mr. Walter B. Hill’s open letter
to Georgia’s delegation to the St. Louis
convention is a timely presentation
of the claim* of prohibitionists to
the Democratic party. The growth
of the prohibition sentiment since
the national Democratic platform
of 1884 was formulated has sur
prised even its friends and con
founded its enemies with sore appre
hensions. The bulk of the Southern
prohibitionist* are Democrat*, and.
Hill says, there will certaiuly be
exodus that will decimate the party
ranks, and possibly eventuate in such
disaffection as to insure defeat in
1S92. The prohibition party is weak,
and can never accompli-h more than
a possible weakening of the Democrats.
But still there are many Democrats
who earnestly desire the destruc
tion of the licensing power that make
possible saloons. These men are
true to their political principles, hut
liave strong moral conviction that
prohibitory legislation claims theirfirst
and best efforts. They wish to make
tiiis fight in the Democratic party, and
therefore appeal to the National Demo
cratic convention to leave oat the plank

esteem the LeConte pear so highly.and
the News and Advertiser Is in no
way responsible for it. .In his zeal.
Winter failed to defend the orchards
from that which excites the fears of
sensible and prudent m**u, b.it wages
an unprovoked war on the News and
Advertiser.
The News and Advertiser’s mis
sion is not to deceive its friends Into
ventures that may cost them money.
Its doubts are honest doubts, sueh ms
come to all prudent men of observa
tion with powers of diseerninent and
abilities to draw reasonable inferences.
Wbat is adapted to f nomas county
is not necessarily peculiarly adapted to
Dougherty* To none will the success
of pear culture in Thomas county af
ford more pleasure than to tiie people
of Albftny|iuid the News and Advkr-
Albany will sailer not in the least
by a comparison witli Thomasville,
except in hotels, and the News and
Advertiser enjoys the esteem of its
patrons as having contributed Its
share to the general prosperity. It
ts tiie continued confidence of the
people, too, in that it has ever been
foremost in every good work and word
to enhance the general welfare. It
does not conceive its duty, though, to
be a policy of silence where a word of
warning might save our people the
cost in time and money of an unsuc
cessful experiment.
Now, Brother Winter, we commend
to you a saying that did not emenate
from the facetious Josh Billings, bnt
is from an excellent authority; “Be
not wise in your own conceit.”
without It. So the manufacturers are
benefited. But those who have noth
ing to do with manufactured products
bnt to buy them must necessarily suf
fer. They payout and get nothing
by reasou of the tariff. They suffei
and are kept poor aud are hard run*
Who are these victims? The orphan,
the widow, the carpenter, the black
smith, the builder, the farmer and
the larm hand, the railroad employe,
the car-driver, the nurse, the cook, the
waiter, the lawyer, the doctor, the
merchant, tiie clerk—all who buy.
They pay enhanced prices for every
thing they bny to benefit rich manu
facturers, whose factories are perhaps
a thousand miles away. Most of all
the farmer suffer , because the tariff
prevents tiie foreigner from exchang
ing his products freely for American
farm products, and so cuts him off from
a market.
Mr*. Dixie IIaygood, as will be
seen from an article on our first page
clipped from the Macon News, denies
writing that Embry deserted Ler In
Atlanta, leaving her destitute. The
letter is at present in the possession ol
the News and Advertiser In which
she wrote that Embry had left her
without a «-ent.” That periiajis does
not mean destitute.

The killing of two men iu Atlanta,
on Tuesday, by the trains, has again
opened up the vexed question of what
best to be done to insure the public
safety from trains in that city. The
preservation of life and security of
citizens is the first duty ot every city;
overshadows every consideration of
convenience. While It is impossible
to remove entirely the ordinary dangers
of running trains, yet the greatest pre
caution should be taken to prevent the
repetition of the fatal accidents that
have occured time aud again at the
street crossings of Atlanta. The fact
the obstruction of the streets by
passing trains in Atlanta is a sufficient
nuisance- to require an abatement,
without the danger that Is a constant
menace to pedestrians. This is a
question in which the whole State is
concerned, as tiie Capital City of Geor-
gi», Atlanta is visited by residents of
every other city, village and hamlet
in the State, mid the extraordinary dan
gers attending passage from one side
of Atlanta to the other is a sufficient
cause for solicitude and anxiety from
friends and relatives of all visitors dur
ing their stay. The Constitution has
properly opened a vigorous war on the
nt system In the success of which
the News and Advertises wishes it
Godspeed. It says:

One of Donnelly’s argnments in sub
stantiating the claim of Bacon, made
the Baconians, to the authorship of
the plays and poems credited to Wil
liam Shakespeare, can carry no weight
authority with those who are famil
iar with English heraldry. The father
of Robert Barns wrote his name Bur-
ness; and even in tracing the gcneal-
of the G. 6. M. Gladstone it
fonned that the-present name
evolnted from another form/ By the
way, an exchange says tliat Donnelly’s
“cipher” has caused to be instituted a
comparison between tiie Bard of Avon
and the French genins and playwright,
Moliere. The latter, though the inti
mate of Louis XIII and Louis XIV,
and having the ran of the conrt, and
his genius widely known in bis day,
baffles tbe resources of the historion of
to-day to find out about him almost as
ranch as Shakespeare himself. He was
also a poor actor. He borrowed as
largely from the Italians as did
Shakespeare himself, and even his
grave is doubtful—though it is doubt
less because the church forbade his
burial in consecrated ground.
