NEW YORK, H- * March 12, 1889. 87 ly. The new Boston directory for 1889, just published, contains 198,853 names, against 191,753 names last year, showing an increase of only 7,100 names. President Northen says the next State Fair promises to be the most suc cessful held in Georgiu since the or ganization of the State Agricultural Society. In the Paris circus a trained lion is’ at present being exhibited who rides on horseback, jumps through hoops and over bars, fires off pistols and performs a number of similar tricks. Blaine is said to be a sick man. He was sick in Europe, but was well enough to race for the presidential nomination. And if he is sick now it is at heart, because he can’t be presi dent as well as Secretary of State. The tendency of the great day-la boringclass of the North to anarchism is unmistakable. It is shown in the oft-recurring strikes in that section, and the evidences of growing bitter ness and lawlessness attending them. The ominous fact cannot be conceal ed into non-existense, and its dread import cannot be concealed under platitudes to the sober sense and ulti mate right judgment of the masses. There seems to be no serious effort to check it. This serious state of affairs is caused in part by the hypocritical plea that the protective tariff was designed, mainly, in the interest of guaranteeing them better and more steady wages, and tile people there have grown into the belief that such a result would sooner or later follow and afford them deliverance and cer tain relief. But the relief does not come. While protection may be of some benefit to the workers in the factories, it utterly fails to benefit the agriculturists in that or any other section. Combinations give confi dence to workers in factories for pro tection, and unquestionably enables tlie manufacturers to secure greater profits and pay higher wages. But the agriculturists derive no benefits from it. It is really to the interest of the manufacturers to pay their oper atives good wages, but they are in no wise under any ; obligation to the store and uphold the great doctrines of Jefferson and his grand and glori ous compeers—to bring back the gov ernment to its old principles. A great lesson has been taught us and our politioal safety depends upon our re turning to the old models before we are wrecked by the whirlwind and the storm. ICE WATER. TO XY MOTHER.

If they do not appear in twenty days they will be declared oqtlaws. Capt. Gordon, of Savannah, has in troduced a good bill in the legisla ture. One that will save time and money too. It provides for a change in the constitution so as to allow bills to be read the first and second time by caption only. The present meth od requires them to be read entire, except local bills, consuming the time of the House needlessly and prolong ing the session far beyond the forty days.’ The Legislature is much interested in the matter of the lease of the State Rail Road. The Lessees, as was of course anticipated, are Insisting upon the Betterments. This is a difficult question to settle and we will not un dertake to express any opinion on the subject at the present time. We think the Legislature will do what is right and prefer to await its action. “Oh! why should the spirit of mor tal be proud?” We have often won dered why, and have concluded that we don’t know, unless it be that the aforesid mortal is conscious of the fact that at his disposal, at all times, are Dr. Pierce’s Pellets, to relieve him, should he suffer from torpidity of the liver, sick or nervous headache, dys- sia, constipation, etc. Druggists. farmers. What higher prices, the manfacturers can obtain for their goods under protection, is a positive burden to all that class of people who are partially or wholly dependent up on the cultivation of the soil for a living. The manufacturers’ say that protection merely saves them from loss in the prosecution of their busi ness and does not even do that ex cept by forcing the operatives of the factories to submit to low wages. Here is a palpable declaration on the part of the manufacturers that pro tection is given them by the govern ment—that Congress forces all classes to pay higher prices for their goods and enables them to pay more for the work of their operatives while these operatives are still forced to pay the higher prices for the manufac tured goods they wear and use. Here is a palpable declaration that by pro tection the manufacturers become a favored class while the operatives of the factories become a partially fa vored class; while all others, the agri culturists especially are oppressed by additional prices of their goods. Our government it is seen becomes shamefully oppressive of all the peo ple, but particularly so of the farm ing class, who bear the load of wrongs to the amount of half a bil lion of dollars annually iu violation of the constitution. This great wrong is vastly sustained in the adminlstra- tion of the government not in the in terests of the people, but in that of the bondholdei s and the banks. We ask the just and the good, in all classes, if these political errors and crimes have taught no lessons? Are the masses of the people so unteachable, that after so many years of wrongs, of a disregard and violation of the constitution, a man who has favored and upheld them all the time should have recently been elected to the highest office in the gift of the peo- pie? Have the statesmen and the he roes who built up our government for the safety and happiness of the people worked and died in vain? Have they lived and toiled and died vain? Have they directed the stormy scene of the revolution to prove that political truth i6 a chimera, and polit ical science a dream of a disordered imagination? Little did Jefferson and his compeers imagine that they had made no progress in political science, and that their wonderful and painful progress at improvement in government were but impotent strug gles with wrongs and abuses that must forever occur? The government has the old forms which they gave it, but the Star of Liberty is obsoured and may not as yet have reached the point of greatest obscuration. We are living now under a govern rnent of practical tyranny, and per haps, have not reached the point of greatest obscuration. We are under the power of a practical tyranny. We may not be said to have reached the aphelion from the Star of Liberty, but there is reason to tremple at the prospect before us. We urge upon our people, especially the Democrats, to stand more firmly together to re- Pliysicians deprecate the excessive use of ice water iu hot weather. It increases the heat of the system and gives aid and comfort to the thermom eter in its assaults on the lives of the' human race. It is an nbuse of lan guage to style a man temperate mere ly because lit! does not drink arjlent spirits. While intemperance in the use of ardent spirits is one of the greatest evils incident to civilization, it is not worse than the intemperate use of ice water iu hot weather. As a nation wo are fearfully addicted to cold drinks iu hot weather and there is muoh need to fight tlie cold de mon ice water. Strange as it may seem, say some wise and learned physicians there are thousands of our best citizens, who are victims to the 'cold water habit. They begin to take it exces sively even before breakfast. During that meal they frequently turn from coffee wbich cheers to drink glasses of cold water which injures the stom ach, weakening tlie digestive organs, and with many people injuring tlie teeth and causing them to decay aud fall out or become useless at an early period. Many indulge excessively in ice water and soon require the ser vices of dentists to repair the older ones and supply their places with false teeth. Ice water, excessively used, will impair the best original teeth aud require the false. Many persons when over-lieated take copious draughts of cold ice water aud the constant habit soon destroys the beet natural teeth in the world, besides it often produces oongestiou of the brain attended with the moat se rious consequences. This is apt to follow, indeed, will almost invaria bly follow the use of water when re duced to 32 degrees and often lower. Yet this is what many persons are constantly doing who never drink ardent spirits at all. We doubt wheth er such spirits, taken in moderation are aB dangerous as copious draughts of ice cold water. Water is undoubtedly the most wholesome beverage which we can use, but there is a vast difference be tween water at a safe and natural temperature and the ioe-cold water which alone seems to be required to satisfy the abnormal cravings of the American throat. The ordinary wa ter of tiie hydrant and the faucet sat isfies the wild elephant and the do mestic cat. Poor fallen human na ture, on the contrary, longs for ice and gratifies its corrupt cravings at the cost of outraged stomachs and ruined teeth. a 8.

From Our Regular Correspondent AN IDEA. It strikes us, that if a good practi cal printer with some experience in getting up news, and with a fair Eng lish education, would start a weekly paper at some central point, having secured an exchange list covering the whole state, and devote it entirely to social matters, pertaining to individ uals, marriages,_ deaths, the where abouts of people, at tho time of its issue, and being widely circulated it would do a fine business and bo pop ular. Such a paper should bo strict ly confined to facts—to the truth.— For Instance: Take your local ex change, anywhere—there are deaths, there aro marriages, and there are changes of residence, there aro local incidents recorded there that can never be found anywhere else. All these items serve for clippings for the scrap book, an indispensable ac companiment to a young man’s or woman’s pleasant reference-in times they may be needed. If wo had the means, and tho practical printer’s knowledge, we would start such a pa per instantor. Why, Geo. P. Rowelf, and the advertisers all over Georgia would cultivate it even as the llowers cultivate the kisses of tho sun and the luscious watermelon the dews of heaven in a dry spell. J. H. N. Mr. Parnell withdraws his counsel from the Commission; Dublin, July 10.—Timothy Healy, member of parliament, presiding at a meeting of the National league to day, declared that the withdrawal of Parnell and his colleagues from the Commission court would greatly please the Irish people both at home and abroad. For the report of the Commission the Parnellites did not care a rush. Washington, July 16,1889. Editors Union-Rkgorhrr: Seoretary Rusk, or as he is oftener spoken of “Unele Jerry,” seems to stick closer to his desk than any oth er member of the administration, and •the result Is that while the other de partments are beginning to be envel oped in the usual summer stagnation the department of Agriculture “hustliug.” This of oourse may be only the result of the old saw “a new broom sweeps’clean.” Among the transactions of a week may be men tioned: The establishment of a new division for the purpose of editing the scientific reports of the depart ment into language that can be understood by plain every day sort of folks; tlie publication of a six teen page pamphlet explaining the work doneand results accomplished by tlie experimental stations in different sections of tho country; tlie removal of tlie State agent for Maryland and abolishment of the office, and tho sending of an agent to the Rooky mountain section to examine into the methods used iu collecting Agricul tural statistics. According to telegrams received here ex-congressman Roswell G. Horr of Michigan, considers his appoint ment to be U. S. Consul at Valparai so as an insult. He was an applicant for a foreign mission, and will refuse to accept the smaller place. Oue of his friends said to-day that Mr. Har rison was offended with Horr because he stuck to Alger at the Chicago con vention. , Ex-congressman Hart, of Ohio the man that caused Senators Sherman, and Quay to have quite a serious fall ing out several months ago has at last received the office which he at that time accepted. He has just been appointed Solicitor of Internal reven ue. Commodore Schley, who is to be the Commander of the new steel cruis er “Baltimore” which made its trial sea trip last. week, pronouncos that vessel to be magnificent, and says “she will be able to licit anything afloat.” “If we hud thirty or forty such vessels wo would have a navy to be proud of.” Tlie plate printers are jubilant over the removal of the steam plate print ing presses from tbe Bureau of En graving and Printing.

It is stated here with great posilive- ness that the state of Mr. Blaine’s health is so bad that he will not return to Washington, and that he- will resign. I don’t believe a word of,’ it, and yet in all probability Mr. .

Yesterday a committee from the State Medical association presented a memorial through the chairman. Dr. Eugene W. Foster, of Augusta, to the house oommittee on liygienn and sanitation, on the Importance of passing a bill to establish a state board of health now pending before said oommittee. Almost all the states in the union have a regularly established state board of health, and it is strange that the state of Georgia is to-day without one. The committee from the State Medical association having this mat ter In hand is composed of some of our best physicians, and the work will no doubt receive the attention its mer its deserve from the legislature. It much more important to our peo ple tbnn it is to the physicians, and the movement should be en couraged. The importance and' unselfish part of the physicians will be apparent by a careful reading of the proceedings before the committee yesterday.—Atlanta Con stitution 17th.
