EDITORIAL GLIMPSES. The Constitution of the 27th ult., contains A notice of the death, In At lanta, of Mrs. Beckwith, the wife of Bishop J. W. Beckwith, of the Epis copal Church nnd the Diocese of Georgia. Her death was not unex pected a* she had been reported ns being very ill with no prospect of re covery. We notd in the Constitution of the 26th ult., the death of the Hon. Julius M. Patton, who for a number of years past has been a resident of At lanta. This gentleman was a Secre tary of the Executive Department under Got. Towns, and also held for a time the position of State Treasurer by appointment, to fill the unexpired term, according to our recollection of the Treasurer who resigned his office. Mr. Patton was well known and highly respected and esteemed by our people, and ever sustained the exalted character of a Christian gen tleman. He was an Elder in the Pres byterian church and reached the age of sixty-nfbe years. His remains were buried in Oakland cemetery at At lanta. Politeness and Truth. Many persons plead a love of truth, as an apology for rough manners, as if truth was never gentle and kind, but always harsh, morose and forbid ding. Surely, good manners and a good conscience are not more incon sistent with each other than beauty and innocence, whicli are strictly akin, and always look the better for Companionship. Roughness and hon esty, are, Indeed, sometimes found together, in the same person; but he is a poor judge of human nature who takes ill manners to be a guaranty of probity of character, or suspects a stranger to be a rascal because he lias the manners of a gentleman. Some persons object to politeness that its language is unmeaning and false but this is easily answered. A lie is not lodged up in a phrase; but must exist, n at all in the mind of the speaker. In' the ordinary compli ments of civilized life, there is no in tention to deceive, and, consequently no falsehood. Polite language is pleasant to the ear Find soothing to the heart, while rough words are just the reverse, and if not the produce of ill temper are very apt to produce it. The plainest truths, let it be remem bered, can be conveyed in civil speech, while the most malignant of false hoods may find utterance, and often doesin thelanguageof the fish market.

I once heard an old man say he would rather raise his horse feed at home than have it given to him 12 miles from home, and be compelled to haul it in plow time. I am satisfied that the farmer who buys his horse feed on time, and has to go to town once a week for it, pays for it four times as much as it would cost to raise it at home. If our people would only raise bread and stock feed at home, we would do much, better. Western corn won’t fatten Georgia mules, if they have it to haul in sum mer time. I don’t claim to be much on farming, but I feed on lipme- raised forage.—Ishmaelite. Humors run riot in the blood at this season. Hood’s Sarsaparlla ex pels every impurity and vitalizes and enriches the blood. According to the Washington news dispatches, the president denies that he bus announced his intention not to be a candidate for a second term. We are'very glad that the denial has been made, for the statement attrib uted to Mr. Cleveland is neither characteristic nor probable. .Never theless, we believe the statement could be niade with perfect truth, for, as we j have said heretofore, the president is not a candidate for re-noininati6n. He is simply doing his duty not only by the democratic party, but by the peo ple of the whole country, and is al lowing events to take care pf them selves. . ’ We learn that Senator Vest, of Mis souri, considers himself responsible for the statement that lni3 recently been so widely telegraphed over the coun try, but be denies with some bitter ness that any word he may have ut tered could be construed as the newspaper correspondents have con strued it. According to Senator Vest, all that he did was to deny that the president was working for a re-nomi nation. This charge was made in a group of which Mr. Vest was a mem ber, and he took occasion to deny it with some vehemence; and from this denial has grown the statement re cently telegraphed to St. Louis and thence to all the newspapers. This whole business, if we may be permitted to say so, is much ado about nothing. Senutor Vest told the simple truth—a truth that must be plain to every observer of events —when he declared that the president was not working for a renomination. The controversy that gave rise to his declaration grew out of a charge that the president had been appointing ne- ? ;roes to office for the purpose ofdivid- ng the negro vote. Our own opinion is that Mr. Cleveland has appointed negroes to office, not because he is trying to secure the vote—which would amount to .nothing, but be cause he believeB that the republican policy of ignoring the blacks should be changed. He is doing what he conceives to be best, and be.has taken occasion to run counter to what has been interpreted as public opinion. But, in the main, lie has been build ing wisely. Public opinion, bpfth at the south and the north, wants jus tice done to the negro race. Public fraud, but the people want genuine civil service reform, and this tile pres ident has tried to give us. He is honest, he is conscientious, he is superior to the politicians; he is su perior even to the clamor of the news papers. We have never had a more popular president. We have never had a president whose conduct was more strongly indorsed by the com mon sense of the country. Mr. Cleve land may not desire to be president for a second term, but he cannot es cape his destiny. It is his destiny to serve his country, and he will not re fuse to be a candidate when he is nominated by acclamation.—Atlanta Canstitutlon. The New York Sun, the World, and also certain so-called democratic news papers at the south, have seized upon every favorable incident and oppor tunity to snarl at President Cleveland and to bring him into disfavor with the people. But that honest and clear-neaded official has gone on In the even tenor of hiswayin the faithful execution of the laws and ignored them and their contemptible efforts to break him down. The Constitu tion in the above article has set forth the true position of the President, both as regards the seoond presiden tial term and as be stands before the people and the little would-be demo cratic leaders who have joined in de faming President Cleveland had bet ter repent and speedily take the back track if they would escape from be ing consigned to political oblivion. Let those of them that are wise, take heed and act accordingly. Washington Letter. From Our Regular Correspondent. Washington, May 2, 1887. Editor Uniqn-Rkcordbr: The beautiful Capital of the United States is beginning to bloom now end in one week more it will bo in all its glory of vernal attire. It is well that it does, for a good representation of the Nation will be here during the next few weeks, and the city wants to look its loveliest. The streets are being swept, the lawns trimmed, the fountains sparkle? in the sunshine, and the parterre* begin to blaze with nature’s brightest hues. Washington will be nothing if not lively during the month of May. The Grand Encampment of the Salvation Army opened the din on the 1st. Then Patti took up the strain with admis sion fee to the Grand Stand ranging from ten dollars upward. Almost simultaneously the flyers of the Jockey Club and Forepaugli’s Circus will make no end to home runs at the race track and athletic park respect ively, and about the time these rackets weary an entertainment will be in order, which, fortunately for pockets, is free to all. This will be the dedication of the Garfield statue by the Army of the Cumberland, wifh procession, music, and an oration by the late Speaker Keifer, who by special permission of the High Custodian of political corpses, has been resusciated for this occasion only, for a period not to ex ceed twenty minutes. Then there will be side shows In abundance, League championship games, conventions, re unions, a visit from the Queen of the Sandwich Islands and from a hundred or two thousand American Sovereigns, and then will come the crowning event of the season, the long expected by his comrades of the Armv of th* Cumberland. It stands in a circleM the foot of Capitol Hill, southwesterly from the Capitol, and is a pedestrian figure of heroic size. It represeats Garfield In a graceful attitude, wltl one hand holding a manuscript, aoit he were addressing the people, aar! the other resting on a book support ed by a column while his top coat is thrown back, giving the figure a life like- appearance. The figure fa rtf course concealed from public view by a winding sheet of black cambric, but it was undraped for a few mhusiet- to be photographed, and again, nc- draped, so to remain until the forma 1 unveiling on tho twelfth inst. The inscription on the pedestal ba.^ been criticised because it refers ft* Garfield as “Senator'’ and also “Mesa ber of Congress.” He was never la fact a Senator but only n Senator elect, and strictly speaking there k~ no such thing as a “member of Coe gress,” but only Senators and tops* sentatives in Congress. National drill; lasting for more than a week anil culminating in a grand final pageant on Decoration day. The work of fencing in the Drill field is going on and everything will be in readiness in due time. The en closure is 1,050 feet in diameter, and the grand stand will be so arranged as to enable spectators to see the en tire field .and all of the performances. For the camp 750 tents have been en gaged and some of the visiting com panies will bring their own tents. At one extremity of the Drill ground ft panorama of the famous battle be tween the Merrimac Monitor in Hamp ton Roads will be erected, which will be a very realistic exhibition of this encounter. It will be in full view of the grand stand, and will form one oft he attractions each night. General Auger has been appointed to the command of the National Drill camp. He is a fine, soldiery looking officer, who lives quietly with tys fam ily in Georgetown. It was expected that a man of national reputation would be appointed to this position, for the reason that it is a national af fair, crowds of American citizens are coming from all parts of the country, and it was supposed that all the ar rangements would be as’national as po-.iUe in character. Still it was no easy matter to 0nd just such a com mandant who has sufficient leisure to give to the matter the necessary at tention at this time. General Auger being on the retired list, can devote himself exclu sively to his duties, and it is thought, will {prove satisfactory in other ways. He was very much gratified by the honor conferred upon'hiui. At pres ent it seems as if all that will be nec essary to make the event successful in every particular is that those who fur nish the weather for us will suppress everything akin to'the beastly article that was inflicted here at the same time last year. The Garfield statu^ - which,is to be unveiled "with imposing ceremonies Isn't that Mrs. Holmes? 1 thought t the doctors gave her up. She loobi well now.” “She is well.

She doee her own work nnd says that life Beems worth living, ut last. ‘Why,' said she, ‘I feel as if I hail been rais ed from the dead, almost.” Thus do thousands attest the marvelous eff cacy of this God-given remedy for fe male weakness, prolapsus, ulceration, leucorrhota, morning sickness, weak ness of stomach, tendency to cance rons disease, nervous prostration general debility and kindred aflfec tions. Cleveland and Grady. New 1 urk IlcrulU, May ■>. It is widely believed that President Cleveland will be nominated nex' year. Who is to hold the second p!act on the ticket? In ante-bellum days it was the in variable practice to take either the President or the Vice-President froac the South. That was changed by the war. But the war ended more than twen ty years ago. A new South lias- sprung up—new not only industrially, commercially and socially, but also politjcally. The country lias become reunited—one again. The causet - that for ntime barred Southern state- men from national political prefer meut have lost all the force they eve* had. Southern legislators, Cabinet officers, foreign Ministers and judges have been wisely called into the os tional service. Is it not time that the second highest post of honor in the government be again opened to the South? The Herald says yes. The Demo ctatic party can now well nfford to name a Southerner for the Vice Presi dency, and it may strengthen its ticket by doing so. Wbat Southerner is most, widelx and favorably known, North as weil as South? By popular acclaim Henry W. Grady, of Atlanta, will at once be ac corded that distinction. He has the con fidence, not only of the party, but al so of the entire country, and his name as Vice-President on tlie ticket head ed by Mr. Cleveland would arous*:- Democratic enthusiasm throughout the land. • The Herald proposes this ticket for 1885; FOR PRESIDENT, GROVER CLEVELAND., of New York.
