SENATOR BLAINE received perfect ova-

The Advertiser says that when he arose to
speak, in addition to cheers, he was greeted
by the audience rising almost ZEN mdsse and

WHAT is the matter in Augusta? 1t is
more than week since the Standard re-

affairs? 1t is emitting the ordinary courte-

THE Argus says it is the imperative duty
of the Governor and Council to follow the
constitution in canvassing the votes. That's
so, but will they do their duty? The Argus
evidently anticipates that they will not as it
says that fusion Legislature quite possibly
may be inaugurated.

GEN. BUTLER told Frank Bird last year

Mr.. S. C. HOPKINS, author of a recently

1t would appear from this that Senator Pills
buryhad bitten off much bigger piece than
he can 'chew." However the Hon. f. M.
Fogg has famous jaw and he can furnish
material assistance to the Senator. We are

returning board might do it alone.

IT will be seen by despatch elsewhere
that Senator Blaine explicitly denies wri-

by the Boston Globe detective. 1t will also
be seen that the Boston Globe refused to
publish Mr.. Blaines denial. As Mr. Blaine
suggests, it would be well to enquire who
forged that letter, and the conduct of the
Globe would seem to suggest where the in
ouiry had better be begun.

THE BUTTER ROLLS
Sunday In germany.
New York Sun

A strict observance of Sunday is
being urged in Germany, and is looked
upon with favor, even by those who
are not church goers. 1t is social
and economical and not a religious
movement, and the end desired is not
a Sunday like that of America, but
one on which there shall be rest and
recreation for all and particularly for
the artisan and so-caIled laboring
classes, employers not to be allowed
or permitted to exact work on that
day except in cases of absolute neces>
sity. Sunday in Germany has not
been invested with much of sacred
character. In the Catholic parts of the
country all classes 60 to church, but
they spend the rest of the day in beer
drinking, dancing, and other vigorous
amusements. In the Protestant sec.
ton they do not even go to church
The houses of worship are few-ofteu
not more than one to a dozen villages
and an equally small proportion 10 th,
cities-and the small number ther,
arf, are ill-attended. At the sam
time, there are fewer offenses agains

A Curious Phase.
Memphis Avalanche.

A curious phase of human nature
is developed 10 the yellow fever busi
ness. 1t is fact, incredible as it may
seem, that the further off Memphians
travel away from home, the greater
the fear of infection by the inhabitants
he meets with. The irst considerable
town is Bartlett, eleven miles out.
The Bartlettonian shakes the Mems
phian heartily by the hand, looks him
straight in the eye and is happy 20 see
him. But the further the Memphian
goes on the less glad are the natives
to see him. Bye-and-bye the natives
look askauce aud stop hand-shaking
altogether. When the Memphian ar
rives at a point so far from his native
city as to render any infection well
nigh impossible, then the door will be
shut in his face and he is looked upon
as leper whose presesce is dangerous
10 the public health.

ADVICE 70 DEMOCRATS.

No Democrat has any business to
identity himself with the huIlabalOo
over Grant. If he were being vel
coined back home simply as distin
guished traveller and citizen, it would
be different, but these receptions are a
part of deliberate programme gotten
up to bring him before the public
as a Republican candidate for Presi
dent. His journey was prolonged for
this purpose The whole scheme has
politics for a groundwork, and no dem-
ocrat should leLd himself to it, unless
he wants to vote for Grant for Presi-

he can make and the bigger fool he
can make of himself the better it will

American Race Horses.



We have from time to time during
the past few years, called the attention
of foreign horse breeders to the fact
that they could find new strains of
blood in this country with quite as
much advantage to their horses as our
breeders find in importa;ions from Eng
land. Twenty years ago when Mr
Ten Brock went to England with. a
limited, stable of horses showed the
English people that England was not
the only home of the thoroughbred
The war prevented Mr.. Ten Brock S
experiment from being followed up at
once by others, as it should have been
but recently Mr.. Sanford took over a
stable which, if not Intensely SUCCESS
full in itself, at least induced the Duke
of Hammiiton to become a, purchaser
at the Kentucky sales. Every one
knows v hat Mr.. Lorilard's horses have
done this season, and, indeed, it is saiC
that the ten pounds allowance made tC
American-bred horses will hereafter
become matter of history.

The reee. Trustees Of
the Peabody Il .ooual Fund shows
that there are 100000 children in
need of educational facilities in the
Southern States. This statement em
phasizes the importance of the bill
providing for the distribution of the
proceeds of the sales of public lands
among the States for educational pur-
poses, which nearly every Republican
in Congress voted against. That bill
should be passed. 1t would give the
Southern States aid in direction which
no true American can fail to iudorse.
The Southern people are not apa
thetic on the subject, as Dr.. Scars
emphatically stated at the recent meet
ing of the Peabody trustees. They
are making progress in providing com
mon school privileges as their prosper
ity increases, but such aid as the edu
cational bill, presented ic Congress
will afford is greatly need. and would
be properly and efficiently utilized
