The Car Of all the Russias is said to
be getting quite haggard on account OF
fear Of being assassinated by the Mill
ists. The discovery Of the Warsaw plot
almost unneryed him, and it may be that
he will be brought to his tomb by terror
alone. 1t is better to be an humble citi-
zen Of a free country than to be mon
.rch Of a powerful but oppressed nation.

The Philadelphia Press says: "'The IN
famous civil service law is what the Gin
cinnati Enquirer, the leading Democratic
journal Of Ohio, calls it. 1t is understood
that if a Democratic administration ever
gets into power John Rodgers Mclean
will make it penitentiary ofense for a
Republican to seek an Office" The Press
ought not to forget that hundreds of emil
nent Republicans have already committed
penitentiary offenses while seeking offices.
1t is not the seeking but the manner of
seeking offices that has made so many
members of the grand old party criminals.

The Nashville american says: "The
railroads of Georgia have by the evidence
of our Southern exchanges played sad
havoc with the truck farming interests
of the State, especially the watermelon
industry. 1t is generally conceded the
latter is at an end, and that it is due to
extortionate rates of freight and the ex-
actions of middlemen." The american
has not kept we'll posted on the subject.
The railroads of Tennessee and other
States are as much, if not more to blame
than those of Georgia. Our railroads have
not the making of rates TO Northern cities
altogether in their own hands. Perhaps
they are entirely handicapped by connect
ing roads.

Here is what the Memphis AUdldnche
has to say about a man who quit planting
all cotton before it was too late: she
walked into the Avalanche editorial room
yesterday afternoon. The editor looked
up and said, HOwde? but did not at first
recognize his visitor. The aforesaid visi-
tor was well dressed, and his manner in-
dictated prosperous man. He might be
well-to-dO city merchant or wealthy rail
way president. He was neither. He was,
in short, the Plowboy. Three years ago he
was a Shelby county cotton planter con-
stantly in debt to his merchant. He was
ill-clad and poorly fed. He was bound hand
and foot to the merchant because, without
the merchant, he would starve. But
marvellous change has come over the
PlowbOy. Instead of cotton he raises
corn, grass, hogs, sheep and cattle. He
sells 100 pounds of butter per week in the
Memphis market. He owes no man any
thing and always has money in his
pocket" This has been the experience
of a great many people in Georgia ard
other parts of the South.

Attacking Beecher.

Henry Ward Beecher is one of the |
targets for the malice of the Blaine
organs. They appear to think that it is
fair and honorable not only to misrepre-
sent what he says, but to utilize every
opportunity to hold him up to ridicule.
II he were supporting Blaine they would
exhaust the list of laudatory adjectives
in praising him, but because he has seen
proper to announce his determination to
support Cleveland, they find it dimcult
to discover language sufficiently strong to
condemn him. Surely Mr.. Beecher is
free to support Cleveland If he wants to.
He has the right that any citizen has to
vote for whom he pleases. He does
not engage in Safeguarding Blaine.
He does not say word about
Blaine's character. He simply says
that he cannot support him, because he
does not like his methods of doing things
as a public man, and does not believe that
he is a safe man to whom to entrust the
government. He certainly has good rea-
sons for what he says. When Blaine was
Secretary of State there was apprehension
that he would contrive to get the country
into trouble with foreign power. Blaine
has a reputation for brilliancy and audaci-
ty He is proud of it, and he wants to do
something whenever he has the Opportu-
nifty to sustain it. Mr.. Beecher don't like
that sort of a man for President, and he is
frank enough TO say so openly and freely.
He still claims to be a Republican, and
probably will vote the Republican ticket
next fall, with the exception of the cleo
toraI part of it. Mr.. Beecher is only one
of many thousands of Republicans
who will not support Blaine. The bolt
ers regard him as a corrupt man, and
will not vote for him for that reason.
They think that their party ought to be
rebuked for nominating a man who repre-
sents in such a marked degree the spoils
element. The attacks on Beecher will do
him no harm. The motive which inspires
them is well understood. Beecher will
continue to give his reasons for not sup
porting Blaine Notwithstanding the at
tacks. OF course it is CALLING to Blaine
to be repudiated by those who have given
character to the Republican party. 1t is
noticeable that Elkins, Gould, Brady,
Dorsey, Kellogg and Keifer stick to him.
They will not desert him as long as he
has any prospect of success. There
could have been no nomination which
would have been more satisfactory to
them.
