The Most Wonderful Thing.

A correspondent asked a Zuni chiei
who came East last fall:
what of all you saw in your journey
impressed you most with the superior
ity of the white men over the IndiansP"
The father of Zunis turned his eyes
toward me, and answered slowly;
1.-The ease with which they can get
water The white man takes the river
into the walls of his house By turn
ing little iron stick he can get that
which we pray for all our lives!"
This was the mind of the Zuni, the
inhabltant of the barren, rainless land,
the triumph of civilization.

EVeritabIe Sham.

The present House of Representatives
had an opportunity to take long step in
the direction of restoring our declining
foreign carrying trade. The proposal was
made to allow American merchants to
purchase ships wherever they saw
fit. but the friends Of the pro-
tected American shipbuilders offset
this with counter proposal
TO give bounties equivalent to the duty
paid on imported materials used in the
construction of vessels built here for the
foreign trade. The House on Thursday
accepted both proposals and on Friday re-
iected them both, but agreed, at Mr..
CrapO's suggestion, to let in free of duty
materials required by American ship
builders for the construction, equipment
or repair of vessels used exclusively in
the foreign trade or between our Atlantic
and Pacific ports. Besides, the House
agreed to repeal numerous enactments as
to shipping, the wisdom of which has long
been questioned, such as the regulations
as to consular fees, advance wages of sea-
men, etc.
Why the House, in its wisdom, should
allow Mr.. John Roach to buy shipbuilding
material wherever he may choose, and
not allow a merchant the same privilege
as to a ship, is singular, but is readily ex-
planned by the fact that to give mer-
chants the right to buy ships abroad
would be a step in the direction OF free
trade. while to let our few shipbuilders
import materials free of duty is prOtec-
ton of the highest sort. That a country
with such a length of seacOast, and so en-
dOwed by nature to rank as great COM
merciaI nation as the United States
should thus propose to prohibit the
importation of the first essen
tails TO commerce is decidedly cheering to
rival nations, and argues the imbecility of
American craftsmanship.
The House has sinned in the full light OF
history in refusing to grant an American
registry TO any ship owned here, no matter
where purchased. When the bill
reaches the Senate the best SER
vice that body can do the country
in the premises is to shelye the measure,
or. if acted upon, strip it Of the Grape
amendment, which is an act Of injustice
to other protected interests. tits claimed
in protectiOnist circles that even free
ships will not restore our commercial dig
nifty. If such is the case, the shipping
bill is a sham merely designed to further
enrich American shipbuilders at the pub

Literary Notes.

The Life and Letters Of BiShop James
OSgOOd Andrea, Of the ". T.. Church
South. By Rev. g. G. Smith, A. M.-We
have received from the author copy OF
the above work, which is an important
contribution to the history Of Methodism,
especially in its relations to the eccle-
siastical policy of the Southern phases OF
that prominent religious denomination.
1t is. as it processes to be, simple biogra-
Dhv of Bishop Andrew, who occupied a
commanding and venerated position in the
HISTORY Of the church South, and who at
one time was the central figure, in the eX-
citement which in 1874 resulted in the
separation Of the Methodist Episcopal
Church of the United States into two dis
tinct ecclesiastical organizations. Bishop
Marvin was originally selected by the fam
iIv as the biographer Of his colleague, but
his death interfered with the wishes Of the
family in this respect, and the task fell upon
Rev. G.. G. Smith. A. NJ, of Madison, Ga,
and the result is the volume which has
lust been published by the Southern
Methodist Publishing House at Nashville.
As a history of MethOdism in Georgia,
particularly, the volume will be gracious
" received and appreciated by South
ern MethOdists. as illustrating the life
and character of a "Prince in Israel"
whose good works and earnest labOrs were
known and read of all men. The style Of
the work is remarkably simple, and we
have no doubt it viii adorn the library of
the MethOdists generally throughout the
Harr rar1an of
book, which is very neat in its Topographic
cal execution, contains splendid like
nesses of the Bishop in his early manhood
and later years. Those desiring copies
can be supplied by John W. Burke u Co.,
at Macon, or Rev. G. G. Smith, at Madi-
son, Ga.

1t is necessary to turn the Republican
party out of power, because the leaders
have fallen into the very serious error that
their party owns, in fee simple, every
office under the Federal Government, and
that the Presidency belongs to them by
hereditary right. The Republican Presi-
dents have never failed to act as if they
were Presidents of the Republican party
and not of the American people? "Your
Majesty would not be King of the Tories -
was the query of an English statesman
when King William III. announced that
he proposed to rule in accordance with
Tory principles and be governed by their
counsel. That was just what King Will
liam wanted to be, and the Republican
Presidents in our country have always
preferred being Presidents of "my party"
rather than Presidents of the United
States.

A Valuable Medicine-Hunt'SR Rene
dV-ItS MANY Merits.


There are no diseases more prevalent,
with, perhaps, the exception of COnsump-
ton, in this country, than the Kidney and
Liver Complaints; and to find remedy
that would effectually relieve them has
long been the aim of many afflicted suf-
ferers. Whether our habits as people
are conducive to these diseases, or
whether they may result from the pecu-
liarity of our climate, is beyond our COM
prehensiOn, and is of little value since an
eficacious remedy can be had; but of one
thing we are sure, that the lOng-affiicted
public will hail with JOY the
specific which has again and
again proved its ability to effectually
cope with and eradicate these diseases.
The name of this medicine is Hunts
Remedy, and it is manufactured by the
Hunts Remedy Company OF Providence.
1t is not often that mention of a
patent medicine occurs in these columns;
but, when one comes under our notice
possessing such undoubted merit as the
one of which we speak, we cannot refrain
from giving it the credit it deserves. 1t
cures when all other remedies fail, as it
acts directly on the Kidneys, Liver and
Bowels, restoring them all at once to
healthy action. 1t is sure to eradicate
all Diseases of the Kidneys, Blad-
der, Urinary Organs - such as
Gravel, Diabetes, lncontlnence, Re-
tentiOn of the Urine. 1t has wonderful
effect on Weakness or Pain in the Back,
Sides, or Loins, and has proved itself the
most reliable medicine eXtant for General
Debility, Female Diseases, Disturbed
Sleep, Loss of Appetite, and all complaints
of the Urino-Genital Organs. Its efficacy
in cases of that dreadful scOurge and in
sidious destroyer, Bright's Disease of the
Kidneys, has been remarkable; and, if its
merit rested on its success in coping with
that disease alone, it would be worthy
of high rank as a public benefac-
tor. In all diseases of the Liver
as Billiousness. Headache, Dys-
pepsia. Sour Stomach and COstiveness-it
quickly induces that organ to healthy
action, and removes the causes at the
same ;ime. 1t is purely vegetable in COM
position, being entirely free from all mer-
curial or mineral poisOns, and possesses
rare virtues as a remedy for Heart Disease
and rheumatism. We have neither time
nor space to do this medicine full justice;
but the public can obtain full particulars
in the shape of pamphlets and circulars
by addressing Hunts Remedy Company,

The Montreal Board of Trade, followed
by theCOrn Exchange Association of CAN
ada, has taken decided action to compel
the government to free the canals next
season. The action Of New York in free
ing the Erie canal is made the basis of
their action, and public opinion in Canada
is said to be entirely on the side of free
canals. A Montreal dispatch to the New
York Herald says:
This will be one channel through which
TO divert the surplus obtained through
government duties, which amounts to
about $6,OOO,OO0. 1t was shown that the
imposition of breadstuffs duties has re-
duced the position Of the st. Lawrence
route as a competitor for the Atlantic
carrying trade from the West from. that of
20 per cent. in 1850 TO but 6 per cent. of
the entire trade in 1882. 1t was unani-
mously resolved by the Corn Exchange TO

Why does not the Tribune face the facts
about section 2499 of the Revised Sta tutes
which the Democratic Senators brought
to light on Thursday last? The point of
the vicious rule established by that Sec
ton is that son all articles manufactured
from two or more materials the duty shall
be assessed at the highest rates
at which any of its component
parts may he .chargeable' if the
impOrtatiOns be not specifically enumer-
ated. Thus bit of window glass found
in an unenumerated article made of wood,
leather and glass would bring down on
the whole article the crushing rates of
duty inflicted on glass by the glass mOnop-
Olists. The section is an Anticipated in
heritance from the protectionist era of
1871. 1t antedates the era of progressive
free trade and prosperity which began in
1916, and which was suddenly and so ca
lamitOusly interrupted by the civil war in
1861. 1t is a ghost and should be laid.

What Might Have Been Expected.

Reed seems to have been put forward as
the champion of the navigation laws upon
the suppOsition that however unsavOry his
leadership might be it was not so openly
disreputable as that of Robson. There
may be difference in favor of Reed, but
if so, it is very slight and is rapidly dimin-
ishing. Upon the whole, it is perhaps
as well that the credit Of repeating our ri
diculOus navigation laws should be left for
a Democratic Congress, and that the Re-
publicans should show that i'll this matter
they have learned nothing from the elec-
tiOns which have made the next Congress
Democratic.
