Colonel Yilas, the permanent chairman
of the late Democratic National
Convention, is now being nrged to ran

nomination is tendered him.
Charlotte Observer: If the Republican
party was the friend of the laboring

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

brave men have not always shown."

"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

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

Blair, Franz Sigel, Thomas Ewing and

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 <

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

the coming election he commands and
will receive our support. For these

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

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.

as the number visible at a given point

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

the number of meteors falling every

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

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.

! 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

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 "

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

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

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

CAPT. R. W. BONNER
A WELL-KNOWN CITIZEN OF MACON.
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
