IK FUK TILD&N. Our dispatches of yesterday brought the ntws that Oregon bad instructed its delegates to vote for Tiiden and Hendflcks. West Vir ginia acted the day before and Instructed its delegates for Tiiden. Distriot meetings held in New Hampshire show that the granite ltate ( wil! wheel Into the Tiiden ranks when ita convention meela. The Iowa countiea whicl| chose Tiiden delegates yesterday are runners for what is to follow from the west. There Is nothing surprising in this. Mr. Tiiden is the one man who can give certain nud overwhelming violory to the democratic party. He is the one man who can heal all dissensions, subordinate all.militating Issues to a commom patriotism, and unite all fac tions. He will be elected if he is nominated. He will be nominated, if he lives to see the as. ???entitling of the Chicago convention, unless he finally and irrevocably over his own name declares to tho convention that ho will not noeept the nomination under any circum stances. ' THE REPUBLICAN NOMINEE, The republican convention Is only about six weeks ofT, and every Indication of public sentiment within the pnrly is watched and weighad and apeculated over. The canvass on that aide of the house is in s very unset- Ued condition, end it looks vory pinch as if history Is about to repeat itself. Lincoln, it Will be remembered, waa in 1800 the darkest of dsrk hones. He was a surprise to the party that had anticipated tho nomination of aotlon. Seward or Chase. In 1808 it waa not known whether Grant was a republican or a demo crat. He probably did not know himself down to s time very close to the meeting of the republican convention. In 1870 Hayes, without a national reputation, was taken,and Grant and Blaine left. In 1880 Garfield, Wbuae name had searoely been suggested as a presidential aspirant, was nominated, lu stead of Grant, Sherman or Blame. In 1884 Blaine, Arthur, Edmunds and Logan are considered candidates, but it is becoming plainer every day that no one of this quar tette will control theoonventlon at the out. set. Blaine will not be apt to havo more strength than ha bad four years ago; Ar thur'a. nomination,ia. now almost as iniprob. able as Logan's, and Edmunds will have no votes west of New York state. Thera is therefore another promising opening for the dark bone. It may be Kdmunds, who can scarcely be said to be a formidable candidate, or it may be a man, like llayes or Gartield, who has not bsca regarded as more than a presidential possibility. In the latter con Ungency it will be exceedingly doubtful where the lightning will etrlke. It might atrike one of the Shermans, or Robert Lin coln, or General Gresham, or General Haw. ley, or one of fifty other expectant (talesmen, including General Grant. A Word Wills Toss.

Not only should tbs manufacture of adulterated arti cles ba prohibited, but their eale within the state should be rendered impossible. This is t matter in which the slate should protect its dtirens, because the average citfxen ia wholly unable lu protect himself. Very few mm can tail bow much glucose has bean put in the sugar or syrup that they buy, and yet the j utting ol glucoee in such articles of food is a double fraud. The purchaser is thus induced to buy wbat ha does not want, and he gets a product of low saccharine value, much lower than tha price of ths sugarcane. The dtisen cannot get sugar when he wants sugar, nor pure syrup when he wants syrup, unless the stats intervenes. And so it is with a hundred other articles. When a man buys olive oil ha gets at an elevated price native cotton seed oil; in the salt he buys he finds plaster of Paris; the our children eat is rarely free of glucose and white earth???bat there is no need of extend, ing the list. Tbrongh the tridks of unecru pulons manufacturers we eat wbat we would detest if we knew its net lire, and wbat is once unwholesome and a barefaced fraud. The people are not chemists. They have no time to investigate food adulterations, no means ascertain the facts if they bsd plenty of time in which to conduct an investigation. We need for the protection of the people a sys tem of jtenaitles and a system of inspection, Let the penalty, at least for a second offense, betkomething severer than a fine. Let the grocer who buys adulterated articles, because they bring in larger profits,understand that his wicked profits are liable to become a source of danger and loes lo him. The people of other states are moving in this matter, end the people of Georgia should take good care that they do not become the consumers cf ar ticles that are elsewhere rejected. LAND P1RA TEH IN GEORGIA The Albany Nows and Advertiser calls at tention to a system of swindles that ought to receive the prompt attention ol the state authorities. Th??ee swindle] are a part of the progeny of the wild laud frau-ls to which public attention waa called in Ibtsa columns several years ego, and which wore partially??? and only partially???remedied by subsequent legislation. Ths Newsand Advei: i ter declares that hardly a day passes thatsome fraudulent transaction iu land is not reported, and the difficulty is that there seems to he no remedy for the serious losses which real land owners anffer, Judging from the information which our contemporary gives the purchaser of lands is frequently a jiarty to the fraud He wants the land only for ths timber, anti be is not interested in the character of the .titles. Somelimes, indeed, the purchaser is the in nocent victim, bat in either case the real owner Is swindled. Generally speaking, however, those who want lands for the timber are not anxious to scrutinize titles too carefully. He will pur chase from one whom he knows to be a fraudulent agent. This fraudulent agent has a claim of titles, and these are sulficient. The perohaeer takes possession of the land and nses the timber. If the real owner happens to set up his title to the property there ie a delay in the settlement, and by the time the genuine titles ere proven, the timber has die- appeared, and the purchaser has secured ail the profit from the laud that ho expected or desired to. The News sad Advertiser hints that some of the titles by which this robbery of land ie carried on, bear the impress of the great eeal of the etate, and it .inquires how this Im posing signature ia obtained. The inquiry is a very important one. Here is a gang of land pirates going about the state swindling the people under the protection of a forged imprenlon of thestate'e seal. This whole business is Important enongh to attract the attention of the state authori ties. Let Governor McDaniel set in motion an investigation that will unearth the land pirates so that tho next legielature may have definite information upon which to base roada having a firm foundation and av even, hard and lasting surface would be invaluable Id this stale; becanee they would not only atopjthe enormous waste in the transactien oi farm business, hut they would induce immi gration. Georgia has a vast qnanlity of an- occapied lands, and a nigh degree of prosper ity cannot exist in the state until those lands are msde to yield date; not one. The New York Times, one of the moat eloqnent of the republican tariff reformers, is already beginning to sneer at the Kentucky statesmen; the Boston Herald, which is in favor of wbat might be called graduated free trade, ia opposed to the Morrison bill on the ground that it Is I tribute to tho general wealth.

The senate has now before it a bill to establish a uniform system of bankruptcy throughout the United States. It is known as the Lowell bill. It has been favorably reported in both houses, and has once passed theeenate. The bill constitutes the district courts of the United Blates courts ot bank ruptcy, with full powers.

The crop amounted to 10,018 bales in the season of 1808 0, The season of 1800 7 the crop was 32,228 bales, and for a period of fourteen years these figures were not improved upon, but in 1880- 1 the crop reaobed 30,442. In 1881- 2 the crop waa 38,682. L ist season the crop was 38,682 bales, sud it Is estimated that the crop of the present season, which Is not yet closed, will reach 27,000 bales, which Is au average crop. The price has averaged 30 cents a pound, The lowest figure was 22 ccnlx a jtotiml and ths highest $1.28. The average of production lisa slightly increased during tho three last seasons, bat there lias also been an increaso in the average price. In view of these facta Kditor Pendleton maintains that planters have bad tho same incentive, ao far as prices are concerned, and,thnt the planting of long cotton has not fallen off on account of over production. He also denies that 8ea Island ootton can be produced in all parts of south ern Georgia, for it that was the case, long ootton would be raised lu that section to the exclusion of the upland cotton. He says tiiat upland cotton lands will not produce the long staple. In the middle, western, southern and northers parts of Lowndes esunty the upland cotton Is grown almost exclusively; but in the southeast part of the oounty the Sea Island cotton lands begin. The long staple will grow on some lands, while other lands near by will not produce it. In Echols county, the island cotton ia grown to the exclusion of the upland cotton, and the same may be said of Hamilton coun ty. In Florida, just across tha Georgia line, in the section of country lying between the southeast portion of Lowndes county end Like City iu Florida, more than twenty per cent of the Sea Island cotton of the world is produced. AU theee;tscls are interesting, and on that acoount ws are not aorrry that Kditor Pendleton and his esteemed Quitman con temporary are engaged in a friendly coniro- veray in regard to the matter. It may be that Brooks county cannot produce long ataple cotton, but her cucumbers are as toag and as as rank, and her watermelons as juicy those of any other county. DEMOCRATIC REFORMS. On# of the favorite arguments ot Mr. Mor rison and the Kentucky statesmen in behalf the tariff bill which has been Introduced in the bouse, to the effect that it Ike democrats will show that they are genuine tariff reformers by exploiting and spouting about a measure which cannot become a law even if it should tfaa bouse, they will have no difficulty in ripping up the republican party by attract ing the sympathy and support of the repub- lioan free traders. The argument would ba a plausible one if it bad any basis, but it has nothing to stand npon. It tha democratic party shonld unani mously agree upon a free trade platform to rn odation good roads, it will not be long be fore a man can travel easily and expediti ously from one end of the state to the other. Tennessee has a great many miles of hard roads, and so have Kentnoky and Virginia, and there ia no reason why the peoplo of the vaoation, the court being deemed always open tor the purpoao of such hearings.
