by taking morphine in that, city on
Wednesday. The record of suicides
in Atlanta is astonishingly large.

Mb. T. O. Cbenshaw, of LaGrange,

to be collector of internal revenue

Mb. Cleveland has not selected
the wealthiest men in the country to

go abroad on important missions,
but has selected those who are indo- I

conscientiousness of an honorable
life and manhood. The useful men
of the age are the men he wants in

It is said that Bullivau the cham
pion bruiser of this country, is going
to Europe to get the j ib of knocking
out their best men over there “out
of time.” If John becomes too ami
ous tor a "mill.” we reckon Mr.
Gladstone would let him have a
chance at El Mandi in a “go-as-you
please" contest. That would bn a
tight In which we would wish the big
bruiser luck.
Dii BußoiiAßb, the New York
preacher who so glibly Hung "Bum.
Ilomanism and llebelllon” at the
democrats over Mr. Blaine’s should,
ers, and who has lately been retired
from his pastoral duties, is now pos
ing as the man who beat Blaine. But
he has heavy competition In that
claim, for there are several million
who did good service in that enter
prise.

The large mercantile firm of W. A.
Juhan & Co.. Macon, made an us
signment yesterday morning. This
assignment was volunt «y, and their
statement shows aeaeta amounting
to 175,000, while the liabilities are re
ported at |52,00U. This is an old and
highly honorabld house, and Its
trouble will bo regretted by a large
business acquaintance. Shrinkage,
protracted pressure in money mat
ters and heavy expense of doing
business Is the on use of the suspen
sion.
A coBRE’i’ONnKNT writing irom
Florida about real estate, says that
some of it should be sold by the
“gallon” instead of acre, and recom
mends those who would buy land
in that state to see it before pay
ing for it. Water lots look about as
well on maps gotten up by land
agents as the land lots. But, if a man
pays his money he should take his
choice, and likewise. If he takes his
choice he should pay his money.
The Rev. Sam Jones is getting more
newspaper notices than any man on
this side the water that has no offices
to give out. The false prophet on
the other side is his strongest rival,
and many of the Rev. Mr. Jones’
critics think he is a worse man than
El Mahdi. But If they are as bad
men av some think them, and as un
fit, to lead, where is the secret of their
power over men? Let Mr. Qladsto.i
answer for the Mahdi, and the p<-u
pie of Brooklyn, Charleston, Nash
ville and other cities answer tor Mr.
Jones.
The bony of Mr. McKinley, the
private secretary ot General John B.
Gordon, a gentleman ot rare quali
ties and to whom the general was
warmly attached, baa been found in
the Eaet river at New York and iden
tified. Mr. McKinly disappeared
strangely in January last from a fer
ry boat that he took passage on to
crossover to Brooklyn—leaving his
overcoat and watch in pocket on the
boat, but no tidings of him were ever
received until now, that the body bus
frieen .to tbe.top, and recovered and
ullv identified.

J. O. Debby, who has been in New
Orleans during the winter, engaged
in preparing the catalogue of the ex
position, reports to the northern
press that while in New Orleans be*
met Jefferson Davie and found htm
a most agreeable companion. That
among other things Mr. Davis told
him that the death of Senator An
thony left him, (Mr, Davis), the last
senator of the body to which tney both
belonged, surviving. This was tweu
ty«fonr years ago. Mr. Derby also
reports that he suggested to Mr.
Davis that he write a book of his
reminjaoeuses of public men and oe
carreißes in the confederacy, which
ne promised to consider. Such a work
fßom Mr. Davie, if free from the
peraonai prejudice in which Mr. Davis
formerly indulged, would be inter
esting and useful.
All Mr. Derby says of Mr. Davis
peWowsttv is correct. But wv> Gett
ers! Toombs not a senator at the
period he refers to?
DAILY TIMES: COLUMBUS. GEORGIA, SATURDAY, MARCH 28, 18R5.
Pobtmasteb-Gknbbal Vilab. in re
ply to a direct question as to whether
a leaiociatie m< mb r of cougrers
should »ot b>ive th- naming of poet
masters tn his <lihirlet, replied that to
act otherwise would be a mistake.
There wai in bl «n«werand manner,
however, a certain degree of diplo
macy and reserve which appeared to
indicate that there might be caees in
which that rule might not work. He
has not yet signed any commissions
of postmasters since he took charge
of his office.
What the bar sinister, to uee a
heraldic expression, was in the man
ner and answer of the cabinet officer,
wi regret is not more definitely
stated. For while we have friends
who would make excellent postmas
ters for Columbus, or indeed for any
other place, some of our friends,
now in our mind’s eye, cannot
boast of the intimate friendship
or the decided preference of the mem
ber 'rom the district. Logically, the
member from every district is for the
man who was mostly for him and to
run out logical sequences, this might
result in very illogical conclusion!!.
The 1 ict that a member is from one
particular district is not significant
of any more fitness upon his part to
designate a proper postmaster than
it ho was from another. In fact, it
1s a disabling teature ot his fitness.
Such men have cliques and coteries,
and cliques and coteries, as a general
rule,furnish very poor public officials.
I tus work it out to its legitimate
conclusions. Mr. Harris is the mem
ber from this district. He knows Co
lumbus as a city in bis district and
in bis attempted distribution ot pat
ronage be bees Columbus through the
very uncertain light of a partisan
glass darkly.iCertain men here were
very vehemently for Mr. Harris, and
now Mr. Harris, regardless of "race,
color or previous condition” is very
vehemently torthem, and if appoint
ed it will bo responsive to Mr. Harris’
desire to pay a political debt, regard
less of all the other considerations
which should control such an ap
poin’meat. This would be wrong,
and was perhaps what Mr. Vilas
mat ner and answer meant. The
voice of one member should have no
more weight in such appointments
than another, and every appointment
should be rigidly scrutinized- It
seems from present methods that this
, shall even be so. We trust that under
this administration, public officers
will not be the lap dogs, tools, hire
lings and boot licks of other officials
because they happen to be in con
gress.
The preachers have opened a war
' against the Mormons. They have
called on the president to urge him
to do what he can to carry out the
Edmunds act. Why would it not be
a good move for those grand doctors
to go to Balt Lake Oity and show
those sinners the evils of their ways.
Wonder it Rev, Bam Jones would’ut
go.
Florida strawberries are selling
in Chicago at sl.lO per quart. This
is considered quite ch ap as It has
been but a short time since they were
selling at $2 50 per quart. Tomatoes
are selling in the same market at
fifty cents per pound, and cucumbers
at from $2.50 to 3.00 per dozen.
Choice Florida oranges sell there at
75 cents to sl.l > per dozen.
Fob the benefit of some auxious
souls who want to be made post
mister here, wo will mention the
suicide of Mr. Wm. Shields, who had
recently been appointed postmaster
at West Chester P<mn. He found the
intri '.cies of the business of
his new place so great that he went
off and drowned himself. Why not
“take time by the forelock” and go
off and drown themselves before the
appointments are announced? We
will wait and see who opens the pro
gramme.
The article from the Star which is
being extensively circulated, and
which announces Blaine’s satisfac
tion with Cleveland, and predicts a
speedy dismemberment of the demo
cratic party by reakon of disagree
tnent with the president, is the most
ingeniously devised specimen of the
yAukee boomerang. It Blaine and his
conf< derates, in whose interest it was
devised, knew how little the presi
dent cares for the opinions of the
< whoie gang, it might greatly modify
their self-esteem. Among all the
public men of this nation, Blaine is
the most pestiferous. The last cam
paign revealed his real chaiaoteras
a dirty and unscrupulous trickster,
and the brazen impudence which en
able-: him to seek the publicity of the
capital, when a modest man would
hide his shame in seclusion, gives us
fresh reason for gratitude that the
nation has escaped four years of ad
ministration that would have plunged
it hopelessly into corruption, and
perhaps entangling alliances.
It may be spitefully or with good
( reason and truthfully that the Louis
[ ville Journal, now considered a
"mugwump.” decries and denounces
the injustice prevailing at Washing
' ton just. now. That paper states that
1 a great many hard working honest
democrats went to Washington and
begged for places, saying they were
* willing to work at any price to
i keep the wolf from the door, and
; were told there was nothing to be
I given, which the Journal says was a
■ lie. That there are hundreds and
perhaps thousands of subordinate
i positions, some of them hel i by ne
groes, who do nothing, and make
i comfortable livings, and these poor
, men were turned back on their dreary
i way homewards to st irring families
without recognition on the promise
1 ot it. Now, we do not vouch for the
; truth of this, because we know notn
> ingabout it. bu: if it is true, it is a
bad begining, and if the policy con
tinues it must have a very bad effect.
Whatever may be done with purely
political offices, those requiring only
manual labor and of subordinate
character, should bs given to demo
crats. I
