CoLuxBus, o. July 27.-In Republic or
State like Ohio it does not seem possible
that the death Of one man can change the
destinies Of q campaign or alter the result;
but the death Of Judge 0key will have .
marked influence on the canvass, and viii
do much toward winning Democratic VIC
tory. 1t knocks the keystone out Of the
arch of the Republican campaign, and un-
masks their shame and hypocrisy. 10 his
Lincoln Club speech Judge Foraker, after
consultation and carefully v, ,igaing tn, re.
suits, boldly announced that he aud the Re.
publican party were steadfastly and eter-
nally in favor Of taxing the liquor traffic.
There is no doubt but q majority Of the
people OF Ohio are honestly in favor Of this;
but this declaration of Judge Foraker ere
sted more or less CONSERVATION among the
small hqpor dealers and saloon keepers, who
can't AFFORD TO pay any tax, and who don't
want to, and who will be compelled to close
up If the tax is placed al 500 and $500, as
provided BY she Scott law. Bat the word

would stand as long as there was q
Democratic Supp eme Court. The death OF
Judge 0key leaves two Democrats and two
Republicans on the Supreme Court, and
necessitates the election Of two Judges this
fall. 1.-THE Republicans carry the State the
Court will stand three Republicans to two
Democrats If the Democrats carry the
State and defeat Judge McIlvaioe who is q
candidate to succeed himself the Court will
stand four Democrats to one Republican,
and will continue Democratic for sve years
to come unless death should occur. As
Judges McIlvaine and johnson

CHICAGO July 27.-Towsrd the close OF
bis pastorate at the Winter Street M. Z.
Church, the Rev. J. W. Phelps became in
teic ted in some Texas land through Mr.
Underhill, Of Dallas, and thought that it
would be an excellent idea to have the
,curg men of his congregation share with
him in his scheme. He represented, it is
said that the land was suitable Tor cotton
and tobacco raising, and that it could
be obtained for a nominal sum. 1t was
also said that a Stockysrd capitalist had
purchased large tract in the same section.
Under these representations the young men
agreed to Join Mr.. Phelps purchase. and
each became the owner of section OF land
on which they paid the first installment
Further investigation resulted in the discoy'
cry that the land was not as represented,
aud hardly worth fifty cents an acre, and
that in fact the StocKyard capitalist had
made no purchase of lind adjoining. The
young men felt that they were the victims
OF a poor speculation and called on Mr..
Phelps to account. The latter had in the
Meantime moved to Nehigh, Neb., chiefly
on account Of bis wiie's health,
The young men drew up charges against
him and presented them to the Methodist
Conference Mr.. Phelps visited the stock
yards several days ago and met the young
men. He explained that he was mistaken
as to the nature of the land. The matter
was compromised by refundiDg portion of
the money paid for the land and promi 'e
70 refund the balance in the future. The
young men, it is said, will not withdraw the
charges until they have been satisfied in
in full. Mr.. Phelps readiness to compro
mise is regarded, however as strong evi-
deDce of bis good faith in the scheme

A Thing of the Past.

There are good many Republican Off
eials who belong to the Presidential class
who think that Republican Senate will
keep them in Office under what was
known as the tenure of office act. 1t VIII
not be long after March before they VIII
discover their mistako. There is practi-
caIlv no tenure of office act. That act,
which was passed in 1867 to tie the hands
of Andrew johnson, was repealed when
Grant became President. Grant said that
he wouldn't have his prerogatives inter-
fered with, and so authority was given
him to suspend an official without giving
his reasons, and the suspension has
always been regarded as amounting to
removal.
The idea that if the President should
suspend an official during the vacation Of
the Senate, and the one appointed to the
office should not be confirmed, the sus-
pended official would resume his office
and draw pay for the time be was sus-
pended is erroneous. Ii the President
suspends an official he is out to stay. The
Senate may not confirm the one appointed
to fill the vacancy. All the President has
to do, however, is to keep on making APP
pOintments until he gets some one who
meets the approval of the Senate. The
tenure of Office act is thing Of the past.
Gen. Butler is said to be almost the
only prominent politician who used the
spy system to help him advance his
interests. A Washington correspondent
says: "When he was at the height Of his
nOtOriety in Congress he had in his employ
at least half dozen sO-called secretaries,
who we're no more or less than spies.
When he would become engaged in a COL
troversy with member he would turn
these creatures back upon the members
private record, and where he could dis
cover anything he would drag 1t with
perfect recklessness into the debates of
the House. He was so frequently ex-
posed however, in the underhanded
methods employed by him that it almost
completely destroyed his influence and
had as much as anything to do with his
final retirement from Congress-"
Savannah morning news., 1885-01-02

In an article on the freaks of quinine
the Augusta Chronicle says: "When, in a
burst of patriotic fervOr, the duty on qui-
nine was taken off, inhabitants of malari-
al districts, in all sections of this glorious
Union congratulated themselves that the
drug would be cheap and abundant. For
a season this hope was realized, although
experts stated that the removal of the
tariff tax had nothing to do with fixing
the price," 1t will be remembered that
before the duty was removed the whole
sale price of quinine was about 81 per
ounce. After the duty was removed, the
price steadily declined until it reached
from 81 90 to 81 so, which has been the
average prices for European and Ameri-
can quinine for two or three years. The
recent extraordinary depression in the
market had no reference to the question
Of the free admission Of the drug, it is
true, but consumers who have seen the
price reduced more than so per cent. and
the reduction maintained, will not care
much for what experts say about the re-
moval of the tariff not affecting the price.
There is much of humbuggery in the
opinions Of experts.
