Another Railroad GobbIed.

NeW IOFh -TVfHtHyV V''FIt'IFs
Mr.. W. 4. Vanderbilt has good diges-
ton for railroads. He gObbles them up
one after another with as great relish as
the distinguished epicure, Sam Ward,
displays before a dish Of stuffed truffles.
The last road reported to have been swal-
lowed by the millionaire anaconda is the
jersey Central.

1t will take a great deal of Democratic
laundering in this State to Guido the reck-
less folly of the self-constituted managers
of New York Republicanism. Not the
least pressing of the problems with which
the party is to deal is to how to get rid of
them; and perhaps the man best able to
solve that problem is President Arthur.

Judge Seymour ID. Thompson recently
delivered an elaborate address before the
State Bar Association of Missouri upon
the Failure Of the Law as shown in the
widespread distrust Of the administration
Of Justice. and the causes which have con-
tributed to this end. The address is good
reading for the thoughtful, and the reforms
suggested worthy Of the highest con-
sideration. 1t may be said that the
lawyers govern the country, and i'll pro-
portion as these grow venal and corrupt,
will the administration of the laws be dis
trusted by the people. Corrupt laws lead
to revolution sooner or later, and it is for
the thinking people to determine whether
that revolution shall be one of blood or
peace.

the dominant party in Congress, there is
no haste to put him out. He remains

Nearly all Of the great continental pow
ers are financially cramped. Russia's
debt is enormous and her treasury empty.
Germany finds it a difficult task to raise
money sufficient for what Bismarck re-
CARDS as the absolute needs of the govern
ment. The vigorous colonial policy Of
France has drained her purse, and,
though her credit is high, French fnan-
eiers are urging the necessity Of economy.
Austria and Hungary cannot pay their
debts, and are compelled to borrow money
every year TO defray ordinary expendi-
lures. Perhaps, on the whole, this gen.
eraI financial stress is a good thing for
Europe, inasmuch as it tends to prevent
the execution Of any warlike designs
which may be entertained by pOtentates
or statesmen.

As everybody expected, the monopolists
and high tariff men and journals are doing
everything possible to create disorder
among the labOring classes in order TO fill
the ears Of Congress with a howl that

their employees To get up meetings de-
nOuncing tariff reduction and deplOring
low wages, and their allies, the said jour-
mails. proceed to find great poverty, dis
tress and threatened revolution growing

They have heard Of the Georgia Sesqui-
Centennial away out in Texas. The Aus
tin Statesman says of it: ''The Georgia
Sesqui-C centennial, about which so much
is said Just now, viii be celebrated at Sa-
vannah on the 18th Of February next. 1t
is the one hundred and fiftieth anniver-
sary Of the first English settlement in the
old colony. General James OglethOrpe
was the man most prominently connected
with that settlement, and with him it was
a labor of love. His idea was to open
a place Of refuge for poor debtors
from England and give them an OPP
pOrtunity to recover their fortunes
and standing, and also to aid persons per-
secuted for religious belief on the CONT
nent Of Europe. 1t was for these pur-
poses that OglethOrpe secured charter
from King George H., in June, 1892, for
the country lying between the Savannah
and Altamaha and westward TO the Pa
cine. Inc British Parliament also appro-
priated 10000 for the colony, and it
started prOsperously." There are num-
bers Of GeOrgians in Texas, and they
could not do better than improve the OPP
portunity to revisit the old common

The divorce statistics Of Maine for the
past five years gives an unpleasant pic
ture Of home life in that State. There
has been about twenty-fOUr hundred di-
vOrces decreed during the period in ques-
ton, and thus nearly five thousand per-
sons have been released from the bonds
which were assumed with at -least nOmi-
nal sOlemnity. The ratio is prOba-
bly, one divorce 10 ten marriages in
Maine. The ratio in Massachusetts in
1879 was one to twenty-One. 1t would ap-
pear that New England folk by making
matters lively in their dOmiciles, have no
need to 90 out doors for excitement. Never
theless, they can discount the South on
atrOciOus murders, and beat it every time.
The New England organs, though, are so
bent upon foreign missionary work that
they cannot think Of paying the attention
TO reform at home that the subject so
glaringly requires.

Browns IRON BITTERs
is one of theveryfew tonic
medicines that are not COM
posed mostly of alcohol or
whiskey, thus becoming a
fruitful source of intemper-
ance by promoting a desire
for rum.
Browns IRON BITTERs
is guaranteed to be a non
Intoxicating stimulant, and
it will, in nearly every case,
take the place of all liquor,
and at the same time abSo-
lutely kill the desire for

1t seems little singular that not
withstanding the facilities for general
intelligence with which the people are
surrounded in this enlightened age,
there is large percentage who are
more or less affected with superstitious
ideas; and this is not confined to the
ignorant alone, for many persons of
intelligence are the victims OF this relic
Of barbArous age. The predictions
Of a terrible storm by c.
has caused much uueasiuess througuu,.-
the east and northeast, and the fishing
interests in several localities have suf-
fered in consequence. A st. Louis dis
patch OF Saturday says that many fish,
ermen on the Illinois and Mississippi
rivers have taken out their nets in an.
ticipation OF the terrible calamity. At
Gloucester. Mass, the loss 10 those de-
pendent upon the fisheries il estimated
at Sl25,0OO' An aged farmer in Miss
ouri. in anticipation OF the great storm,
dug small cave, stored it with pro-
visions and moved his family in ON
Saturday. And as if to confirm the
credulous and superstitious in their
faith in Virgins powers of prophecy,
the news comes that storm is raging
on the Atlantic sea-board, aud at New
port the tides are very high. the beach
roars as 1t has not done for years and
many people are extremely nervous. At
Plymouth the storm began at noon
Saturday, the wind blowing violently
and increasing from the northeast. At
other places in the east there arc snow
storms, but nothing like the fearful
calamity predicted by this modern
prophet. md many Of the highly cred
ulous will be greatly disappointed that
these terrible predictions are not full.
filled. Persons who put any faith in
the predictions of such persons as
Mother shipton, wigRins. ct al. should
learn to discredt all such silly proph-
estes, made by those whose only object

A PURE POLITICIAN

Under the above head the Eureka
Sentinel of yesterday prints a lengthy
editorial on the life and services of AL
eIander II. Stephens, ex- Vice President
OF the Southern Confederacy aud late
Governor Of Georgia, who died at At.
laEta on the ith instant, from which we
clip tho following:
at is somewhat remarkable TINT the
Confederate States, in thoss days of
intense sectional excitement, should
have continued to elect Mr.. Stephens
to the highest offices, notwithstand-
ing his steady and determined oppoai.
ton to secession. Sam Houston of
Texas, Andy johnson of Tennessee,
and other Unionists of the South. yero
no more decided in their hostility 10 so.
cession than was Alexander II. Ste.
phens. But while these were driven
into retirement or exile, Stephens re-
tanned to tho last the confidence and
warm esteem Of the Southern people.
This was due to the universal resp.o,
for his high personal character and the
general confidence in the purity Of his
motives. He opposed secession to the
Inst, yet when it became an accom-
piished fact, ho cast his lot with his
people. In this he showed his usual
wisdom, as he thus kept himsolf in po-
sition to best servo his section when
the crisis came demanding The ablost
men of the South at tho helm, After
the close OF tho rebellion he actively
co-operated with President Johnson In
the reconstruction measures. During
this period he was elected to the United
States Senate from Georgia. but was not
permitted 10 take his seat for the rea.
son that his State had not fully com,
piled with the conditions OF recon-
ssruction. In 1872 he was again elected
to Congress, aud was continuously re-
elected thereafter until two years ago,
when he declined a denomination and
was elected Governor OF Goorgia.
Throughout lis long public car or
the record OF Mr.. Stephens was without
a stain. Ho was never charged, or even
suspected, with being connected with
any schemes of jobbery during his
service Of moro thau quarter Of u CEN
tnry in Congress. before and after the
war While tho Blaines, the Windows,
tho Shormans. and statesmen OF that
