PRESS OPINIONS.

We do not pretend to say there are not
other Democrats with as pure records as
Mr Bayard, but OF prominent men now
hetore the country he ia truly u Ghevalier
Bayard, sans peur ut sans reprGche, who
would command the respect aud conf
dence of the whole people. Were Mr..
liayard President OF these United States,
the thorough union of vast people in
the maintenance of exalted government
would he accomplished.
Mr.. Bsyard would receive tho vots of
every Southern state, aud his strength
IN the Northern states would be fully as
great, not relatively speaking, rs at the
South. Had he been nominated in 1885
he wculd now he the President. A pure
and noble standard bearer was then
named, but in a time Oi peace and great
industrial prosperity the people look t.
civic worth for leadership instead of tt
the military hero. The Statesman be.
lieved iD 1850 that Mr.. Bayard should be
the nominee /: to-day it likewise is satisfied
that to make him our standard bearer
woula insure most decisive victory

| II is curious TO trace the progress o
this investigation (Of the Baltimore fir
department). No matter to what exten
denial may go it is, nevertheless, tru
that the anger of Mayor Whyte at Mr.
Morrison for his action in the late cit,
convention is at the bottom of the Who'll
thing. Marshal Heiskell went into ofic
on February 18th, and it was not unit
July 10Th, five months later, that thes
charges were made. On June 2lst tn
Democratic city convention met, and
was the same day that Morrison and til
Mayor parted company (the latter, a
least, in anger), the former saying tina
he recognized the defeat of the city hal
ring would accept the inevitable. In
medistely thereafter the investigation
became hot, and it was not long befor
the famous sequence happened, the Mayo
discovering the check bearing the name
Of "Morrison & Tuxworth" and 81
Howard Tuxworth" Saturday, Heiske
copying It on Monday and the Sun print
ing it on Tuesday. But no matter ho
or with what motive the investigatio
originated let it be thorough and con
plete, the guilty punished and th
irnooent vindieated.- Baltimore Day.

There ara rumors OF another railroad
to Cape May, by way OF Bridgetou, N. j.
The Reading company, II ID said, is try
ing to get control of the Bridgeton 4
Port Norris road, which the company
will then extend TO Cape May. 1t is also
said that in the event of the Delaware
River railroad passing under the Reading
oompany's control, the latter will
build a new road from Penns-
grove to Bridgeton, thus making
short cut from this city, baltimore,
Washington and other points in the
South to Cape May, via Pennsgrove, and
through route from Philadelphia to
Cape May, via the Delaware River rail-
rpad. This would also give them a
through route from New York to Cape
May, via the Nav Jersey Southern. The
Woodbury. Consultation says "There are
rumors in circulation that the Delaware
River railroad ia to pass into the hands of
the Reading combination. The plan then
ia understood to he to stop its business
and connections with the West Jersey
railroad and to extend it to Gloucester
City, where connection will he made with
the narrow gauge, which is to be changed
to broad gauge"

storma unnn Tie snn

A contributor TO the Rochester Democrat and
Chronicle, presumably connected with the OBJ
servatory there, represents the present dis
turbance in the sun as something wholly
unprecedented. The group of sun spots,
which was just making its appearance on the
twenty-third, has now reached tho SUMS CEN
ter, and has spread over vast area. 81 M
liar group, os immense proportions, has made
its appearance upon tho east side, and is
making its way across toward the other. The
observer reports that about tho two great
storm centcrs were evidences of n whirling
motion and cyclonic action. Unless the sun
is undergoing u permanent change it would
seem as if the present activity of sun spots
must soon reach its climax and subsido. The
action of the sun upon terrestrial weather is as
yet imperlectly understood. One thing seems
to be certain, which is, that greater heat from
the sun shows itself first in the form of pro-
fuse rains. The recent anomalous weather,
and especially the tremendous electrical
storms which we have had within the past
year, appear to be in some way related to
these frightful storms upon the sun. Sec
ondarily, at least, If not primarily, both these
causes, the rain and the electricity, affect
human we'll being, and even life itself But
exactly how they do it, or in what way their
untayorable influences may be compensated
for, no one seems able at present to tell us.

Colonel Jack Brown.

As Lord BYRON woke up one morn
ing aud found himself famous" after
the publication of Childe Harold, so
Colonel JACK Brown of Georgia
sprung into national notoriety il
single day from his clustering
interview with Postmaster-Gener
GRESHAM. Colonel JACK had
a mission to perform, and so he
packed the whole Republican party of
his state in his mind eye, and wendell
his way to Washington to demand
the dismissal of the Atlanta postmas-
ter. There was no difficulty Gin the
tile way, as far as the Georgia col
onel could see, for he was brimfull OF
audacity and would beard the lion in
bis den with such cheeky nonchal-
ence that there would be no hesitation,
In fact, there could be none. But the
pootmaster-general had never heard of
the great Georgian before, aud when
the demand was made he naturally
suggested that petition from promi.
nent men of the party would be In
order. Whereupon Colonel JACK
signed his own name to brief
regret and stated that he represented
the Republicans of Georgia." Ii APP
pearcd however that he was only
self-constituted attorney OF his alleged
principals, that he did not live within
one hundred aud fifty miles Of AT.
lania, and had no personal knowledge
of the status of affairs in the post-of-
flee there. Judge GRESHAM still per-
sisted in his refusal, and further stated
that his experience with Southern Re
publicans had compelled him to be-
lieve they were bad lot, the opinion
being given In very expressive lam
guage. Colonel JACK, being bluffed
at his own game, meekly retired to his
hotel, where lie summoned up courage
and wrote the postmaster-general
note in which, among other things,
he said; "Iour daily contact with

ion that you are an MSS and a bona lide

i still fresh in the memories IL our
old inhabitants, IS il was one OF the
rtfost 2iroeious ever committed in this
sraunty. As near as we can learn, the
facts are shout a follows. The Bailey
boys had been passing some counter

to arrest them, 10 which they both
quietly Submitted. After the arrest one

reached the gun he threw it down up
on the officer. and demanded all the
counterfeit money he had previously
oa;siued from them. Mr.. Green
could do nothing else but throw him
the money. but as Bailey stopped Ia
pick il up, the officer drew his pistol
and fired, the bali grazing BaIlvy's
neck. In the fight that followed the
officer was killed. and the Baileys
made good their escape, though the
country was secured in every direction
and heavy rewards offered for their
capture. When the firing commenced
the man assisting Mr.. Green
became frightened and ran away.
