Mr.. stephens and the Democracy.

Atlanta tGa.) Constitution.
We stated yesterday that Mr.. Stephens
would retire from public life at the end Of his
present term.
We repeat that statement this morning
upon the most perfect authority.
We state further that Mr.. Stephens is thor
0ughly, profoundly, In sympathy with the
Democratic party OF Georgia In his fight
against the Liberals, Coalitionists or whatever
the opposition may be called. With perfect
understanding OF the situation and the Issues,
he emphatically and earnestly declares his
sympathy with the Democracy OF Georgia
against the enemies who are seeking 10 over
throw. Any imputation to the contrary Is
injustice 70 Mr. stephens and TO the Demo
eratic party. Mr.. Stephens has already re-
buked an attempt 10 align him with The 0ppo-
nents OF Democracy. =.
We state tho above upon the best-of au.
tnority, without the violation Of confidence
When, In his opinion, the proper time has
come Mr.. Stephens Will speak In no uncertain
sound upon this subject. In the meantime,
the public may rest assured that the great
commoner was never more thoroughly In
sympathy with The Democracy OF his native
State than at present.

THE CRITIC is able to say, on good au-
thority, that there is no truth whatever in
the report that Gen. Grant has lost his for
tune in unlucky stock speculations. TIE
CRITICS informant speaks by the card
Those personal friends" of Gen. Grant, in
the House, who were going to vote against
the bill retiring him out of sympathy at
his reported loss of his fortune, may now
vote for the bill, as the General continues
to sit in the lap of fortune, except when be
is engaged in rolling in luxury and wealth.
Queer personal friends" those.

GENERALS in command of armies when
they intend to attack the part of the
enemy's line usually make demonstra-
tion upon some other points, to cause a
concentration of troops there. The dis
tiDguished member from Indiana, Mr.. Hol-
man, the special guardian of the Treasury
should not forget this rule of tactics. 1t is
known to the generals commanding the
armies who propose to raid upon the United
States Treasury.

WONDER if it is true, as intimated in the
Capital yesterday that Robson and the Ad-
ministration have fallen out? Perhaps it
was one of the conditions under which
Dana agreed to make the Sun an Admins
tration organ, that Robson should walk
the plank. 1t would be very amusing il
this surmise should turn out to be true.
Garfield employed A. NJ. Gibson to destroy
Dorsey why shouldn't Arthur join hands
with Dana to pitch the Rotund overheard.

EVERY member of Congress should make
up his mind that he will vote intelligently
upon two subjects before adjournment
that is upon the reclamation of the
Potomac fats either by putting them under
or above water, and upon properly housing
the National library. These two things
should be done before the members return
to their constituents.

THE Senate Indian Committee has
agreed to report bill giving Indians their
lands in severalty, but rendering the allot-
ments inalienable for twenty-five years.
The provisions of this bill do not extend to
the Indian Territory SO that Capt. Paine
and the railroads will have to wait awhile
longer before they grab that country.

IT is said that an error was committed in
the trial of Sergeant Mason, and that he
will secure new trial. Eight years at
hard labor is rather severe sentence for
missing man, but the soldiers of the army
must be taught in some way TO shoot well.

Mr.. ScovILLE says the hanging of
Guiteau would do the country great good.
The CRITIC agrees with him in the con-

By ONE Of those unexplainable acei-
dents that some time occur, copy of the
Republic, weekly magazine of this city,
was glanced over by THE CRITIC. On
page dfty-one was found an article which
is almost verbatim reproduction of The
CRITIo's article ON Thursday in regard to
the Washington Gas Company. The figures
given by TIE CRITIC were all used, and
the language was almost the same, the re-
suit being decidedly sensible and reada-

WE UNDERSTAND that some delay has
occurred in the publication of Uriah II.
Painters letter to the Sun, giving circum-
stantial account of his reconstruction of the
Cabinet. Perhaps Uriah is in doubt as to
whether he ought to fully admit that
Arthur assisted in the business or merely
mention him as one of the spectators. 1t
is also suggested that Uriah wants his late
letter, showing how he elected the Speaker
and organized the House, to have more
abundant opportunity to sink into the pub
lie mind before he promulgates his next
pronunciamento. William Henry Smith
ought TO give Uriah chance as CORE
spondent of the Western Associated Press.

EX-SENATOR BARNUM, he of the willy
ways and devious methods, has finally
secured the selection of Mr.. Flower as
chairman of the Democratic Executive
Congressional Committee. Mr.. Flower Is
young gentleman who was never heard.,of
in politics outside of his ward until last
year, when his money-bags outweighed
those Of Astor, and Flower blossomed out
in Congress. MI. Barnum possibly thinks he
win desire to purchase more mules in the
next campaign, and wants another purse
to aid him, so the distinguished old soldier,
Rosecrans, who was the choice of the
committee, has to give way to Flower and
his money.

Capt. B. j, Willard of this city has secured

ially valuable for its lightness and compact
ness. 1t is so compact that it can be worn I'M
der the clothing, either about the waist or
under the arms without discovery and is Sc
cured in position by tapes. The initiating tube
is flexible, and when the time for use arrives
the preserver can be inflated in an instant, and
the wearer is at once prepared for emergency.
Sea-faring zmen, excursionists, bathers and all
others should have one. 1t is especially rec
commended to bathers, as its size and form
when inflated are such as not to impede the

the wearer has reliable life preserver The

Tennaranoa Maetine.

AT the monthly temperance meeting OF the
Second Parish church last evening Rev. Mr..
Thwing prefaced his address by referring to the
defeat of the bonded warehouse bill in Con-
gress and the adoption of the constitutional
temperance amendment in Iowa, and the zeal
and efficiency Of the women in the latter
movement He announced the subject of his
address as Bible temperance The wine of
the Bible is spoken of with favor and with dis
favor, as blessing and as curse. Tae
reason for this is that two kinds are referred to
unfermented and fermented. Sometimes We
wonder why the Bible says no more against in
tozication. 1t is because the Bible is not
book of rules but of principles, broad and COM
prehensive and the principles OF the Bible ara
against the uss OF Intoxicating liquors The
Bible tells us more what we shall do than
what we shall not. Character building is the
purpose of tho Bible. 1t teaches us that we
should make our bodies strong. This accursed
whiskey, brandy, gin degrades the body to the
level of the serpent. But we are more than
body. 1t needs no words of mine to prove that
liquor ruins the brain, it steals away mans
brain and makes him as senseless as a tree
But again are we not made in the divine i'm
age? Intoxicants drive US down to the level
OF the brute.
On the ground of character the Bible teaches
us not to touch the aecursed thing On the
principle of helpfulness, philanthropy and
duty we should abstain. We are our brothers
keeper. Obedience to conscience is another
reason for abstinence

shoemakers' strike.

Saturday some of the shoemake1s at A. E.
Cox & Sons shops on Union street asked for
an increase of wages, which request was de-
MED and the men quit work. The men say
that the men in the shop are employed on Ia
dies work and manufacture kid shoes, for
which they receive four and four and
one-half cents per pair. The men claim
that this sum is not enough; that
workmen in Lynn, Mass, and other places are
paid six cents per pair; and that they should
at least receive four and one-half and five
cents, which sums they demand and will work
for.
On the other hand, the firm say they are
paying all they can afford to; that the men
can manufacture fifty pairs per day, which
at the sum paid gives $12 and $3.50 to them;
and if the men do not choose to continue work
at the old wages they will shut the shops up
till the strikers places car be filed.
1t is reported the men have relegraphed to
Lynn and other cities, stating the condition OF
affairs and requesting that shoemakels keep
away from the shops.
