LATER NEWS.

THE new steamer Robert E. Lee, plying
between New Orleans and Vicksburg on
the Mississippi River, was burned to the
waters edge at o'clock a. M, on Septet-
ber 80, some thirty miles below the latter
place, resulting in the total destruction of
the boat and the loss of nearly twenty
lives. The fire is supposed to have
originated in the pantry-room, and
the flames enyeloped the boat so
rapidly that it was impossible for either
passengers or crew to save anything except
what they had on at the time. The follow
ing is list of persons known to be- lost:
Cabin passengers-Mr. E. 81. Poynter,
Maysyille, Kentucky; Mrs. Mcclellan,
New Orleans; Miss Adams, music teacher,
on her way to Baton Rouge, Louisiana; an
infant of Mrs Searle, of Vicksburg and two
colored women. Also the following;
Frank Jones, fireman; Ophelia Jones
and Martha Webb, second and third
rell, Scott Cox, Thos. Collins, Irwin Dun
can, cabin-boys; Samuel Brown, roust-
about; Kardo, carpenter; VIM. Nest
maker, second engineer; all the cooks and
help except the pastry cook. The books
of the boat and the United States mail are
lost together with cargo of
| five hundred bales of cotton. The
boat was in midstream when the fire
broke out and but for the heroism of the
pilot and engineer in remaining at their
post until she could be landed, the loss
of life would have been much greater.
The total loss of boat and cargo is es-
timated at $75,0O

Reform Despite Malign Influences

Of course the Michigan Republicans.
in their unusually and unnecessarily
long platform, arraign the Democratic
party with the savage ferocity which is
supposed to be the ear-mark of a first
class Republican. during its six
years of supremacy in Congress, says
the Michigan platform, sit showed it.
self incapable of a single great measure
of Legislative or administrative reform;
neither tariff, currency, revenue. civil
service, army, Indian policy or any
other great interest received improve
ment at its hands" This implies that
after fifteen years of unbroken and un-
obstructed Republican rule, all these de-
partments and bureaus of Government
had fallen into such deplorably cor
rupt state as to need reformation. The
Michigan Republicans denounce the
Democrats for not correcting abuses.
But what are we to think of the party
that brought about these abuses and
then left them for its opponents to cor
rect.
1t is true that while the Democrats
had control of Congress-it was not six
much in the reformation of abuses as
SOulu uc WlS1cu uut tulS 10 UcCduSo, Wuuo
the Democrats had control of Congress,
the Republicans had control of the whole
executive and administrative machinery,
The Presidency. the Cabinet, the revenue
service, the Indian Bureau. the
custom-houses and the 100, 900 Federal
offices were still in the hands of
Republicans, and what the Democrats
did had to be done against the stubborn
opposition of these powerful influences.
Nevertheless, they accomplished some
thing that deserves to be remembered.
They overthrow the fraudulent demon
etization of one half the ancient metal
money of the country and restored the
silver dollar to its old and legitimate
position; they stopped the extrava-
gance that had become chronic under
Grant, and cut down the appropriations
$40, 600, 900 a year, and they assisted Mr..
Hayes in introducing that feeble
measure of Civil-service Reform which
has been almost wholly lost under the
present Republican Administration.
All this was effected under formidable
difficulties. The Silver bill had to be
passed over Presidential veto, and the
reduction in the appropriations had to
be enforced in the teeth of persistent re-
sistance from all the leading Republic
ans in Congress.
What the Democrats accomplished is
not great deal, but it is something.
What the Republicans accomplished in
the same direction, with all the organs
of Government in their hands, was
nothing at an.-St. Louis Republican.

CHE poor ye have always with you" IS a
divine declaration confirmed by all times
and in all communities Some people will
be poor and destitute in spite of all you can
do for them others will be in same condi
ton because they cannot help it. We oc-
casionally hear of real objects of charity
within our own corporate limits, for whom
no provision appears to be made by either
county or city. Neither of said corpora
tions would allow any person. to suffer for
want of the necessaries of life, nevertheless
there are cases of great poverty among
white and colored, that need attention.
We notice in some cities the organization
of "Womens' Christian Unions" organized
for the purpose of securing employment and
subsistence for the poor. An organization
of that kind could do much good in Jack
son. What say the ladies Three or four
from each congregation, with an efficient
executive committee, could do the work
and do it WELL

a wise word From Addison,

Says Addison 'Health and cheerfulness
mutually beget each other" There are
volumes of truth in this. 1t is difficult to
look at the world through CHEEKY glasses,
when disease has set in upon the loins and
back, and when the liver and kidneys are
out Of order. But cheerfnlness returns with
Hunts Remedy, the great kidney and liver
medicine, because it brings health to the
afflicted. The aching back, the sallow skin,
the hollow eye, the distressed feeling, the
bent body, the respondent mind, give way
before Hunts Remedy to the bloom OF
health, the bounding step, the cheerful
spirit, the renewed strength, and to q pro
longed lease of vigorous life.

a botanical preparation, and its beneficial
effects on the teeth and huns are marvellous,
