DOUGLASS,) The present campaign promises now to be one of slander and scandal. ^ Tiik "Washington monument, which has now reached a height of oOO feet, is now ready for the roof and will be the highest in the world. What ot the slanderers of Governor Cleveland? Would the record" of their own private lives bear the sunlight of scrutiny or investigation? We hardly think. - Tiie Japanese have no equivalent for t.hp. F.ncrlish word' "hell." That is what bothers the Japanese in this country when he wants to say how hot it is. The New York Tribune claims that * -Louisiana and West Vinrimaaredonbtful States. These are wild, insane claims; both are Democratic and will elect Democratic officials this fall. General Gkaxt says be has been approached on the snbjeet of accepting a nomination for the Presidency from the American Alliance, but has treated the matter with indifference and has made no reply. ^ ql? ? It was a fearfal strait to be minced to when the Greelv survivors were compelled to eat the flesh of their dead companionsjto sustain life, and it is pretty hard on them now to be remindx ing them of it by publishing the stories in all their shocking particulars. Colonel Yilas, the permanent chairman of the late Democratic National Convention, is now being nrged to ran as the Democratic candidate for Governor of "Wisconsin. Colonel Yilas would conduct a brilliant and vigorous campaign, and the party and State welfare demands his acceptance if the nomination is tendered him. Charlotte Observer: If the Republican party was the friend of the laboring man it pretends to be, would not the laboring- man have discovered that fact within the past twenty-four years? The truth is that after the lapse of twenty-four years of Republican rule the condition of the laboring man is worse than it was before the Republican party came into existence. The late Duke of Wellington was oppressed and suppressed by his father's fame. The Herald says "it was never his privilege to front the shot but he passed through the more trying ortteal of cruel surgical operations, and endured them with a stoicism which brave men have not always shown." lie left no children and is succeeded by a consiu, a colonel in the British aruiy. Too jus J. Mackey is quoted as saying: "The true theatre of political operations in the coming campaign must be in Sjates of.tho North and rn ?West Virginia, Virginia and Florida alone of the Southern States. In these three last named States the machinery is not of such a character as to preveut Republicans from securing a fair couut, and the race Issue does not enter distinctively into the campaign." The New York Sun thinks it would be better for the Kepublican party if Mr. Blaine were beaten and better for the Democratic party* if Mr. Cleveland were beaten. Perhaps the Sun would like to see its protege, Butler, elected. And is it possible for a great metropolitan journal like the Sun to face the country and advocate the claims of Beast Butler for the Presidency ? It j will see the error of its evil course, and Mr. Bntler will be dropped before j the 4th of next November. The Democratic party is not composed entirely of Confederate Brigadiers. The New York Herald says: "Of fifty-fire conspicuous Union Generals 49 were Democrats and o were Republicans. The latter were General Banks, Svho was called Stonewall; Jackson's commissary;' Carl Scburz, now a vigorous Independent;' Frank Blair, Franz Sigel, Thomas Ewing and H. W. Slocum. Of these original Re. publicans Frank Blair died a Democrat and the others are now Democrats." We learn from the Philadelphia Press that sugar has never been as cheap in this country or the world as in the last, eighteen months, and the consumption m the United'States has advanced from 63,047 tons a month in 1SS0 to 90,501 in 1884, or 43 per cent., while the population has grown only 12 per cent., so that the consumption has advanced 31 per cent., a growth doe to a fall in prices of one-third, from 95 to 6$ cents a pound. Consequently, then, where nine cent? were spent on a ponnd now nine cents are j spent on a pound and a half, and just < as mueh* money is spent on sngar as ever. The Spartanburg- Herald is just mad enough about the acts and doings, of the "Grand Conclave" in the recent Democratic Convention of tbe Fourth District. Since the favorite of our esteemed contemporary was not fortunate enough to secure the nomination it is but natural to be a little warns, not to' say hot, but the cooling time will come by and by, and we trust then that the Herald wiil talk more Aolir>lr T.onvanc cn\A P i?onvi_ A uaui auvi Ulvvu- i ville did no more than what any of the j other counties wculk have done under | like circumstances, and we can see no ! good to he accomplished by grieving ; unnecessarily over the results of j "legitimate work" in the recent Con- j vention at Spartanburg. New York City real estate is valued i at $1,119,761,000. Nearly half of thisI enormous property is owned by 1,670 j persons. More than 1,500,000 people j own no property and pay no taxes.! There are 103 very wealthy women, j "iEhe Times-Democrat says: "But the ! is> verv rich men scarcely figure at all in the assessment?, W. II. Vanderbilt being-pat down for only $2,182,000, I ? A Tn'f I/T r.x.. flAM I,, ; awu rtv uvuiu ivi uui ^y*xw,wv# in! deed, as far as real estate and assessi incuts go, New York, which claims millionaires by the hundreds, really possessors only tweny-two. It is evident that the metropolis is suffering | like New Orleans and Louisiana?from | under assessment." | An exchange says: "Better and bet' ter grows the news from Wisconsin | where the campaign waxes exceedingly warm. A correspondent of the New York Times says that the dissatisfaction of the German element/with the Republican, candidates is particularly strong, and the Democrats are i gaining great additions to their numbers from this cause alone. The Republican managers have not a single German organ and are in a bad plight. The Catholic Citizen, the leading Irish paper, has come out against Rlainc and Logan. It is admitted that Wisconsin is now so evenly divided that it is just as likely io go one way as the other; and yet it is one of the States where the Republicans used to have a walk-over," Sevekal days ago a letter was sent to Ch&s. A. Dana^y a committee' of General Butlers' friends, inviting him to become a member of the reception committee and chairman of the mass meeting .to co-operate in the Butler demonstration,.which will take place iu New York city on August 30. Dana in reply, while thanking the committee for their flattering invitation, says ! he cannot accept the chairmanship of j the -meeting as his.professional engage! ments are such that he will be unable I to be present in person. He says, : however, that he will endeavor other' 7 . wise to contribute to its succcss. "It will be a great meeting," he says, "and any citizen of New York inter1 ested in the promotion of Democratic ! principles might be proud to preside | over it." It has just been brought to light that I B. F. Jones, whom Mr. Blaine picked | out as Chairman of the National ReI publican Committee, was the first | person to suggest the importation of j contract foreign labor in Western j Pennsylvania. The men in his iron j works struck in 1867 because their ! wages were cut down 25 per cent., and I Jones sent an agent to Europe who ! hrono'hf out. fivp or six hnndred Rr>l gians with their families, who agreed to work at wages so lo-., that, after a time, the imported laborers quit work It is not likely that the .knowledge of these facts will increase the influence of Blaine and Logan among the laboring classes in Pennsylvania. . Always and everywhere it is the same thing? the professions and the practices of Blaine afre as wide apart as the poles. The address of the Independent Republicans of Massachusetts contains the following: By the nomination of James G. i lilaine the Kepubiican party lias ; thrown down tiie gauntlet of corrupt r iih'3-p:trtisaii governmc-iTt. I'he Demo^" cratic party answers the challenge. Jts candidate is the acknowledged champion of reform and political honesty. The issue is thus joined. The leaders are representative men, the foremost of their kind, and we cannot for an instant hesitate in our choice or doubt what the true interests of our country demand. We do not ally ourselves with the Democratic party, still less sanction or approve its past, but its present candidate has proved his fidelity to the principles we avo^, and in the coming election he commands and will receive our support. For these reasons, we urcre all our fellow-citizens j to unite with ns in our effort to secure the election of Governor Cleveland, and to organize in their respective neighboortioods, that the vote of MasI sachusetts may be given in November | for )ionest government. A New York correspondent of the Baltimore Sun writes of President Arthur's attitude towards the Repnb! lican ticket: But while President Arthur may : discreetly keep his month shut, and as | his friends say, is only interested in | maintaining good government and conducting himself'so as to go out of office with a clean record, yet it is very evident that he wonkl not feel badly over Blaine's defeat. Besides the personal feeling which exists between Mr. Arthur and Mr. Blaine, there is a political reason at the bottom of this. The Stalwarts believe.! that if Blaine is defeated it is not as much of a defeat of their party as it is of a man; that it would have the effect of wiping out the factional differences which have existed during the last eight years, \nid which have been growing in bitterness with each succeeding election. In this way they look upon the effect of a defeat now very much as a doctor would regard a /Irvco r?f nllveif nrvin n hiiimie nafionf ' w. L---J ' Tiie Boston Herald, says that the earth is now passing through the 'stream of August meteors, generally seen in the northwestern sky after midnight. A single observer, under favorable circumstances, sees from six to eight meteors an hour. But he sees ouly* one-fifty or one-sixth of those visible above the horizon. The total number, therefore, visible in an hour i at a given station, is about thirty-five. Is we should multiply this by twentyfrtll! \VA crof attoi* OiO-Kf AVM*. II V CMV VI.V4 W? V? Vig UV UUUUi^U as the number visible at a given point of the earth's surface in an entire day, provided that clouds or sunlight did not interfere with the observation. From a single point on tho earth's surface, however, we see only a small portion of the atmospheric envelope, and it is within ihese atmospheric envelopes that the meteors become visible. The total number visible over the whole earth in a day would be upward of 10,000 times the number visioie at a single station, or 10,000 multiplied by 800 equals 8,000,000 as the number of meteors falling every day to the earth, which would, in the absence of the sun, moon and clouds, be visible to the naked eye. The August meteors are usually of an orange color, move veiy rapidly, and commonly leave streaks which last for one or more seconds. These streaks are highly useful in enabling us to fix the r<irHnr>f r?r??nf. wjfh vrnwrictan 3 e The Paris correspondent of JJEtoile \ \ Belye (Brussels), writing under date ; of July 22, gives a lengthy and very j jnst analysis of the present political : situation in the United States, with ! comments upon tlie Presidential cani didates. lie refers in very compli! mentary terms to the administration I of President Arthur, saying of him in | connection with his candidacy for the | Republican nomination: "Jle had filled all the duties of his high position with perfect consistency; he had pos-j sessed the great and rare merit of not seeking conflict, of touching nothing but with discretion; he had been careful not to place the United States in any false position." Alluding to Govj ernor Cleveland he says: "He has acquired a tngn reputation tor tne integrity of his principles and of his conduct, and is presented to the people as the candidate of reform in Federal, State and municipal administration; as the enemy of abuses, of fraud, of excessive patronage, of all kinds of corruption, of all the vices which have little by. little invaded the political organism." Describing Mr. Blaine, the writer observes: "lie is a perfect illustration of what is familiarly called 'the machine' in politics?the class which applies for letters of marque and goes to Washington poor to return in a few years rieh and influential." The accuracy of this analysis and comparison could hardly be improved even on this side of the water. Blaine and the Civil Service. Now that civil service reform is the. popular cry of both political parties, it wonld be interesting and significant to inquire in what one of these two great organizations.is to be found consistency and sincerity. What has been the record of the Democratic party, and what has Mr. Blaine done to help along a reform of the civil service. The law on which this reform is based was framed by a Democrat, and that Democrat was Senator George H. Pendleton, of Ohio. Be it remembered the bill was passed against the vigorous and protracted opposition of the Republicans in both branches of the National Legislature. After Mr. Pendleton had carefully prepared his bill and had presented it to the Senate, and while it was hanging in the air by Republican opposition, the memorable campaign of 1880 began, and the Republicans, under the management and supervision of the notorious Jay Hubbell, then a Republican member of Congress, coolly, deliberately and with malice aforethought, blackmailed and robbed the gorernment official, high and low, rich and poor, by political assessment, and this shameful work of his party is a standing monument to tne jgnommv the nation. Of Mr. Blaine's record on the civil service, the New York Herald says: While Mr. Blaine was Speaker a civil service reform- committee was ordered by the House; but he so constituted it'that it was a laughing stock to the opponents of this reform, and of coarse did nothing. When Mr. Biaine became Secretary of. State he cansed the removal of Mr. Collector ofXew York, to put in that place a favorite and follower of his own, Mr. Robertson. He stuffed many . ?*11. i- 1 *ji Otnei places witu nis personal auiiwents, He selected for important offices notoriously incompetent men, as when he sent Mr. Hnrlbut to Peru and Gen. Kilpatrick to Chile. His policy of ostracizing one faction of his party and putting his own men in office flung the party and the country into an unprecedented tiymoil. To the dynamiters, the filibusters and the speculators Mr. Blaine's adherents can appeal with a good face, but it is a little too droll to read an appeal to civil service reformers to vote for Mr. Blaine. THE PUBLIC HO ADS. Officers chosen and paid by the people for the -performance of specific duties, clearly defined by legislative action, cannot complain of adverse criticism if those duties have been grossly neglected; and, besides, it is not only the privilege of, but it also behooves every taxpayer to raise his voice in disapproval of the omission of of such duties. As a case h: point, take the Public Highways. Their condition is indescribable. The best of them are inexcusably bad;' while most of them disgrace the agescof civilization. Whose fault? Is anyone to blame; and if so, who? Well, let us see. The law of the State is clear oif this point. The care of the public roads is entrusted to the county commissioned. It is their business to exhaust all the resources the statute'^ives them if the condition of the highways is not TTrmm' /I Vmn/3 Artr* VVA wvyi j iiTV/i; k uauti van LTC? compelled to give twelve days work each year to be applied as they, the county commissioners, direct. Have they availed themselves of this wonderful resource? If so, then I say "well done, good and faithful servants, return ye into office" If not, let them arise and explain to the "dear people". I, for one, wish to know why it has been found necessary to put " a day's, work on the roads just before each court week and at no other time. Perhaps it is to ensure the safe arrival of the grand jnry. Instead of twelve days work being spent on the roads, there is not even a pretense of the one-half of it. Either the law is to blame, or its sworn ex*- I ecutors. The Legislature can change the former; the people the latter. Offices are for the benefit of the public and not, as seems generally supposed, for that of the holders alone. An election to an office of grave responsibility is a method entirely too expensive for an impoverished country to use in rewarding past services however noble. I will take the liberty of susrsrestius I to the people of Fairfield the""names of three gentlemen for county commissioners. They are Messrs N. C. Robertson, T. L. Johnston and R. Y. Lemon. I have been careful to select men who do not need the office, so that their official acts may not be hampered by future fears. And I earnestly "call upon these gentlemen for our common welfare to accept the sacrifice. This suggestion is made without their re motest knowledge. If they might think the position lackiDg in dignity, I can inform then* that one of our very best governors is striving tP att&fo itr simply to styow the people of ljis county of how much importance the office reajlly is. [ 5 KOApjS. SB ! . - ! COL. COWAED AND THE SCHOOLS. /, | An AbJc and Vigorous I>^ff nco of the State | Superintendent of Education?The Facte | of the Case. Jtailor oj l tic x\eics ana ^ou7~ier: The State Superintendent of Education lias recently been criticised, first, in that he is not constantly in his ofiicc in Columbia; secondly, in that he is not constantly visiting different parts of the State. These criticisms cannot be reconciled, and it is difficult to know" which to answer. If it be the chief duty of the superintendent to visit different sections of the State, then it matters little where may be his place .of residence. The attorney-general does not reside in Columbia, and county commissioners and school commissioners for the most part do not live at their respective couuty seats; yet they are not subjected to criticism. So, a very large proportion of the routine business and correspondence of the superintendent can be carried on without requiring his presence in Columbia. He nevertheless makes periodical visits to the Capital, and can always be summoned there by telegraph in a few hours; and scarcely a day ever passes in which he is not in some way engaged in the duties of his office. But he must visit every county in the State. How often and in: what way? There are 3,269 schools in South Caro-.. A 1 1Amfin/4 Ann /1A1_ J111 ?V \J Ll\s Urt v UIIU vuv UVA"" lar'sr expense for each school, the superintendent in visiting them would consume nine years and expend $3,269 for travelling expenses alone. Be is evidently not expected then to vfcit each school* in the State. There are thirty-four counties m South Carolina. It has been intimated that the State allows unlimited travailing expenses for visiting these. This is utterly erroneous. The sum of ?350 is appropriated for the expenses of the superintendent and the expenses of the State board of examiners, which meets at least twice a year, at a cost of not less than $75. The superintendent cannot count on more than $275, or about $8 for each county. "Whatever the law contemplates, the Legislature evidently does not expect a very exhaustive tour of inspection. But it is charged that the superinfniirlofif nnf. visif the (^annfifts. and on this charge is based the chief complaint. Yet between the 1st of last January and the time of the appearance of the article in the Temperance Worker) in July, the superintendent had visited, officially, seventeen counties, namely: Hampton, Lexington, Richland, Fairfield, York, Chester, Sumter, Marion, Darlington, Marlboro, Georgetown, Berkeley, Charleston, Beaufort, Union, Spartanburg, Newberry and Greenville. In some he had made "public addresses," in others he hart "personal communication with school officials as required by law; in all he has eudeavored to awaken interest in education. This excenueu tour >vus pai t ui iv^ui^usc ?,u visit as nearly as possible all the counties before the close of the fiscal year. Yet he is criticised for "not visiting counties." It is impossible for the State Superintendent to call public meetings. This is the duty of local officers. But he is ever ready to address them, when they do not conflict, as is very frequently the case. The inclement weather of winter often prevents. The hard work of the spring and autumn is also an obstacle. The season ot public meetings is short. If the superintendent map out a tour he has no money to advertise it tnorougniy, dui is compelled to rely on the charity of county papers to give notice. The above disposes of the charge as to the superintendent not visiting the counties. Npr have the schools languished^ as is charged, under the administration mC tfro .ptEseul superintendent.. ~--qp>rni{ are the facts: Number of schools in 1881-2,3,183; in 1882-3 3,269?increase 88. Enrollment of pupil]} 1881-2, 145,974; in 1882-3, 173,095?increase 27,121. Increase in schoolhouses 104; in the number of teachers 81. During the past .year a graded school system has been established in Columbia; a graded school has been opened in Rrnnsrni. whjln Snartanbnrsr is now agitating a similar educational advance. The standard of examination for teachers' certificates has been notably raised, and applicants are now required 'to stand an examination in the theory and practice of teaching. In order to secure more efficient supervision of Schools an allowance of $100 for travelling expenses has been added to the pay of each county school commissioner. The State superintendent of. education has secured also the passage of an Act permitting an appropriation of $200 out of the county school fund for the holding of county institutes. Several have been held with satisfactory results. The State formal Institqtes have been continued. During the past year some unfortunate discussion of the educational problem has arisen, but for this the superintendent was not responsible. It cannot be denied that he manifested alacrity, boldness and ability in defending his position, and he was doubtless instrumental in stemming the tide of hostility to public schools. The superintendent has no assistant in his office save his efficient I clerk. * ?e..\ ?:n -HL cai uiiu aui vu) VJL 1110 lauio win convince any canc[i4 mjnd that the schools are not retrograding, that the superintendent has been zealous and able, that he has already visited more than half the counties in six months, and tli?t he has inaugurated several, important measures in the line of educational progress. Much of the criticism that has been heard must have come from ignorance of the facts. From Macon.In August, 1881, it -was discovered that my son's wife was in the last stages of consumption. She was coughing incessantly and at times would discharge quantities o'f pus from her lungs, could not sleep or retain anything on her stomach, and we thought it only a question of time when life would be compelled to give way to- the " fell destrojfcr. After all other remedies had failed, We got Brewer's Lung Restorer and began it in very small doses, as she was very weak. She soon began to improve: continued the remedy and was restored to life and health, and is to-dav better than she has ever been before. I re gard lier restoration -as nearly a miracle, for 'which she is indebted to Brewer's Lang Restorer. R. W. BoxxEit, Macon, Ga.

Headers of Ilawthonie's "House of Seven Gables" will recall the pathos with which poor Clifford Pyncheon, who had been unjustly imprisoned since his early manhood, said, after his release: "My life is gone, and where is my happiness? Oh! give me my happiness." But that could be done only in part, as gleams of warm sunshine occasionally fall across the gloom of a New England autumn day. In a letter to Messrs. IIiscox & Co., Mr. I L. JL Titus, of Pennington, N. J., says: "I have suffered un^'d misery from childhood from chronic disease of the bowels and diarrhoea, accompanied by great pain. I sought relief at the nands of physicians of of every school arid used every patent aud domestic remedy under the sun. I have at last found in PARKER'S TOXIC a complete specific, preventive and cure. As your invaluable medicine, which did for me what nothing else could do, is entitled to the credit of my getting back my happy days, I cheerfully and gratefully acknowledge the fact." Mr. E. S. Wells, who needs no introduction to tlie|people of Jersey City, adds: "The testimonial of Mr Titus is genuine and voluntary; only he does not adequately portray the suffering he has endured for many years. He is my brother-in-law, and I know the case well. He is now perfectly free from his old troubles, and enjovs health and life, ascribing it all to PARKER'S TONIC."

In August, 1881, nearly three years ago, my son, who was at that time living at Clinton, Ga., came over to see me with the sad intelligence that his wife was in the last stages of consumption and that lier physician had pronounced her case hopeless. I went immediately over, and I ielt that nothing could be done. She was coughing and spitting incessantly, and at times would discharge from her lungs a large quantity of pus or matter?could not sleep or retain anything on her stomach, ana was, in iaei, m tue lust stages ui tuc disease. This was about the time ^ou began to advertise Brewer's Lung Restorer, and as mv son expressed a desire to give it to his wife, two or three bottles were procured and with scarcely a vestige of hope we commenced giving it to her in small doses, gradually increasing the quantity until the prescribed dose was reached- She began to improve after a few doses and continued to do so daily, until she v/as finally restored to life and health, and is to-day perhaps in better health than ever before. She is subject to colds, but a few swallows of Brewer's Lung Restorer (which she is never without) relieve her immediately. I consider her restoration to perfect health a miracle, for which she is indebted to Brewer's Lunz Restorer. My son is almost a monomaniac on the subiec ef Brewer's Lung Restorer and never "lets an opportunity pass where he thinks such j medicine would be required, that he does not speak of it in most glowing terms. Not long since a Northern gentleman on his way to Florida heard of this cure and was induced by my son to give it to his invalid wife, and she was cured as if by magic. Mr Pilun <vf Trinidad, Cnlnrado. says: Seeing certificates of the wonderful cures made by Brewer's Lung Restorer, I was induced to try it on uiy little son, who was troubled with lung or tliroat affection, pronounced by one physician, consumption. It acted wonderfully on him, and by the time he had taken one bottle of it the cough disappeared. I am now on & visit to my parents in Georgia, but will return in a few days to my home and will certainly take some of the Lung Restorer with me. LAMAR, RANKIN & LAMAR, Macon, Atlanta and Albany, Ga.
