With Roswelrs explanatory
Lost Mountain brings with Powder Springs
A song of exultation.
The softest air breathed anywhere,
The water SO delio ,ous;
Where fruits abound the seasons round,
With all the heart could wish us.
A land of gold with health untold,
Old Georgias banner county;
Where men are wise in enterprise,
Whose fame has won the county.
Her wales and hills and gushihgtilis,
With all her gushing fountains,
Speak forth in song, where pleasures throDg,
Where fame has scaled the mountains,
Brave heros saw from Kennesaw,
The battle fields all CORY,
Where johnson stood, scene Of blood,
A land of fame and glory.

Clothed with wisdom's deepest thought,

Professor Self is still here teaching the

What pity, people drink,
Curse and swear aud never think,
As some did here last Sabbath night.
Some people have ears, but they hear not.
Time sheds our teeth in youth and age,

We have heard in Acworth what ST. John

John Calvin taught, there be but few,

That ever get to heaven;
Americas taught that all may pray,
Seek forgiveness, go That way,
Through Jesus be forgiven.
But Campbell taught. if you have heard,
The gospel preached, obey the word,
Be faithful to the end
Emersed in water and in blood,

And God will be your friend.

THE POISONED MINERS.

The too successful attempt 10 poison me
non striking coal miners at Sreator, Illinois,
reveals another proof OF the pltliesS crueiy
with which striking combinations endeaVor
n carry their point, and shows, too, the Ter
rible weapons that are at their disposal. Inc
victims of the crime were miners VINO nau
been employed TO take the places OF 'hosc
who struck against reduction Oh wages,
They were engaged in an honest an. id"iu'
business for the support OF their FAMILIES, atu'
In working for the reduced wages, were SIN
ply exercising a liberty which belongs o,
riSbt TO every man. But the strikers turned
on iheu, the malignant hatred which they
could not wreak upon the employers, and re-
sorted TO the cowardly device OF sprinklng
noison in their dinner buckets. st. L0atS
Republican,
This is the tone Of nearly the entire press
OF the country in It's comments on the Strea'
tor poisoning case, yet as regards the BODY OF
the regular miners at Streator nothing could
be more unjust. Very little acquaintance
with the men would satisfy any reasonable
man that to charge them as body with CEN
phcity IN such crime is simply an outrage
or even to charge that one IN hundred OF
them is capable of such crime is unjust
Streator, and no other community, has bet
ter-behaved, more intelligent and law-abiding
working population than the mass OF these
miners, and If poison really was administered
to the "backlegs," we are willing to stake oul
head on it that not one in five hundred of them
was in the secret.
Besides, IS it certain that the poisoning was
not accidental? Has anybody analysed the
tea of which the poisonous decoction was
made, or the coffee, or examined the vessels
in which the meat, potatoes or vegetables
were cooked; or has any satisfactory analy
sis been made to prove that there was any
arsenic at all in the case?
The cooking was done in the company'E
own kitchen, by its own servants, and The
premises were so guarded that no one else
had access to them. When and how was the
poison administered?
In matter Of this kind, so gravely affect
ing the reputation Of two thousand men Of
least average good report, decency, 1t seems
would suggest the propriety of a Suspension
of public opinion until tangible fact OF
two should be established

CIRCUIT JUDGE TO ELECT.

The legislature, previous to its adjourn.
mept on Thursday, having passed the new
circuit court bill, our people VIII .orthwi'h
he called upon to elect an additional circuit
,udre. This circuit, as now adjusted VIII
consist of the counties Of Bureau, La Sale,
t;rundv and Will--to have three judges, TWO
ot whom-Leland and McRoberts-are al
ready elected leaving one more to elect. Inc
mischief Is, the election takes place on the
first Monday in June, being but week from
next Monday, so that there is no time to he
lost in hustling around for candidates. Each
county IN the circuit we presume, VIII have
a candidate or two of Its own, and as the cleo
ton may be over before half of them are
heard of in the remote precincts, we hasten TO
name the available candidates OF this county
The preferences on the street yesterday were
considerably divided, but the current seemed
to be IN favor of Judge Eldredge, though j.
II. Widmer and Chas. Blanchard also had
strong following, and there was still another
party that said David p Jones was the man.
Our experience lately has shown US that II Is
highly improper" for editors to have any
preferences IN such matters. In fact every
man is allowed freely TO choose and support
his candidate for any Office except an editor
who can do so only at the peril OF being rum
ed In his business Therefore, OF course, we
wisely abstain from expressing any prefer
ence with regard to the above named candi-
dates, simply saying, as we can honestly ana
truthfully do, that they are all good lawyers
abundantly qualified to adorn the bench, and
men of unquestonable purity and probity OF
character. The better way, perhaps, would
be for the friends of the four to get together
and agree upon one of them. If there is any
difficulty about it, let the club select the
champions and decide by game OF euchre
or solo-or by toss of copper, or in some
other satisfactory way. Only be quick aboutit.
But one week and two Sundays are left to
maneuvre in, and If anything is done, it must
be done at once.

THE FIRE CRACKER NUISANCE.

The National Association of Fire Under.
writers have commenced a crusade against
that sort of effervescent patriotism that mani
tests itself on Four,hs of July and other ma
tional holidays in the explosion of the seduc.
tive fire cracker and other dangerous pyro-
technical tomfoolery. The fun, they main
tain, if such barbaric folly can be so called
is entirely too expensive. They have been col
Letting statistics on the subject, and although
the reports are but partial, they have data
that prove the loss, on the last 4th of July, OF
$l54,57416 worth Of property through the
careless handling of fire crackers and other
pyro,echnics, to say nothing CT the number
of people killed aud wounded and manned
for life. During the ten years from 1865 to
1875 the total importation of Chinese crack.
ers amounted to $1,500,00o, and during that
time the loss by two conflagratons alone
traceable directly to them, amounted to over
$l5OO0,0c0. So that the association do moi
consider it an extravagant assertion to say
that every dollars worth of crackers imported
causes direct loss by fire OF not less than
800 five must have barbaric noises on
the 4,h of July, would il not be more sensi'

ing letters like the following to the south Of

Civil service under Grant with its presents Of
mansions, libraries, fast horses and bull pups,
was bad enough, but even Grantsm was IN
capable of anything as shameful as this. The
following is an extract from letter of Post.
master General Key, published in the Chat
tanooga (Ga.) Times:
To give the president power to carry out
his southern policy, 1t is important that he
have majority in both houses favorable to
his administration. Whether he shall have
this majority depends upon the southern
democrats. If they oppose the administra
ton, elect northern democrats, such as Ran
dali or Sayler, to the speakership and ally
themselves with the disaffected republicans,
to fight the administration, he tciU be compelled
to use his official patronage IN such u acdy as to
giue him strength IN his 0oi party; whereas,
should southern democrats wisely extend him
support, he will be able to deal his patron
age to them literally, and revolutionize the
system of Federal patronage which has exist
ed IN the south since the war. Southern dem.
ocrats now have the power to redeem the
south, if they see fit to use it. The president
is firm and determined in his southern policy,
if the south will give him the support neces-
sary to carry it out. In my opinion the true
method for the democratic party Of the south to
protect itself and maintain its successful organ.
ization is for that party to declare in favor Of
Mr. Hayes administration not as republicans,
but as democrats, upon his southern policy.
If the presidents southern policy fails, the
southern democratic party will be TO blame
for 1t; the people will know it and hold it re-
sponsible.

1t is rather droll, and raises guffaw even
among the greasers across the RIO Grande,
that Hayes should object to recognizing Diaz,
the new president of Mexico, on the ground
that he was not fairly elected and does not
represent a majority of the voters. Evarts
speaks of Diaz only as the de tacto president,
thus avoiding even the appearance of acknow.
Lodging the title of a president who stole his
Office. All Of which certainly is cxcruciat
