IL notice." said Buffalo man, who is visit
ing IN Washington, that al the papers take
particular delight in cracking up Grover
Cleveland as a fisherman. Now, it strikes
me AS somewhat remark able that Just be-
cause man has been elected President OF the
United States he should entirely change him
self IN all respects"
What do you mean?" asked your CORES
pondent.
"Well, mean that when Grove Cleve-
land wasiplsin Grove Cleveland, without any
handle TO his name, and when he lived in
Buffalo and was member of the Oakfield
Club, he was the poorest fisherman in the lot,
and, tell YOU, there were some almighty
poor ones. Why, j have seen Cleveland get
IN row boat with couple of friends at
Louis Roesch's place down near the foot of
Amherst street In Buffalo, for days TROLL
ing out on 'iIeH's Half acre."
Whats that"'
"Oh, Hell's Half-acre. You don't know
where that Is? Why, 1t is a portion OF the
Niagara river, just at the head OF Grand
isanu, very near the Canada size, where
black bass arc ished for and where the cur
rent Ia almighty strong. Oleyeland's party
always had a supply OF Holsters for haiL. and

The people of the Second Congressional
district have good Representative in
Hon. Henry G. Turner. No district in
this State, or in any State, is better repre-
scented. Mr.. Turner is one of the leading
men Of the House, and he commands its
respect. When he rises to speak he is
listened to, not because he is great OF a
tor, but because he is an honest man and
what he has to say is worth hearing. He
has been matched against the strongest
men in Congress, and he does not suffer
by comparison with them.
The Second district is not alone inter-
ested in having Mr.. Turner reelected.
The whole State is interested. Every
Georgian feels a pride in having such
man in Congress from his State.
Those who are seeking to succeed Nr.
Turner may be able and capable men.
They lack, however, his experience, his
acquaintance and his reputation. They
could not reach the position OF influence
at W Washington which he occupies IN years
of service, unless they are men of excep-
tlonal ability. Why then abandon Mr..
Turner?
1t may be that some of Mr., Turner's
constituents are offended because he re-
fuses to beg for the nomination. He is a
modest man. and doubtless thinks that
if his years OF honorable service do not
command for him the nomination his con-
stituents prefer some one else. This is a
mistaken view. His friends may be
largely in the majority, but may not be as
active as they ought to be. IL they want
him to represent them, however, they
must make every effort in his behalf.

The Attacks Upon Gen. Black.

me AJCaCKS upon Gen. BtaCk.
The Republican press has been more
persistent in it's attacks upon Gen. Black,
Commissioner of Pensions, than upon any
other officer, with the exception of Mr..
Garland, Of the present administration.
The reason of this is, doubtless, that he is
strong and an aggressive man, and con-
sequently excItes the hostility of his po-
liti3al opponents, and also those members
Of his own party who cannot control'him.
The latest story which has found its
way into print is that the Commissioner
and the Secretary Of the Interior, Mr..
Lamar, have had a quarrel Of a serious
character, and that the cause OF it was
the determination of the Commissioner to
dispense with the services Of 1879 Republi-
can clerks IN the Pension Office without
the approval of the Secretary.
Gen. Black would no doubt do the coun-
try a service by dismisIug 139 clerks, and
a greater service by dismlssing 239, and
filling their places with people competent
to discharge their duties. 1t has often
been said that the Pension Office contains
more clerks who are comparatively
worthless than any other Office in Wash
ington, and this is probably true.
Asamatter of fact, however, Mr.. Lamar
has had no quarrel with Gen. Black, and
is not likely to have any. He has great
respect for Gen. Black, and Gen. Black is
doubtless worthy of all the respect which
the Secretary has for him. There is
nothing to prevent Gen. Black from dis
charging as many of his clerks as he
wants to. provided he has good cause for
doing so, but he cannot fill their places
with whom he pleases.
In making appointments he has to obey
the civil service rules, and there is no
reason to think he objects to obeying them.
The Republican and Mugwump journals
would act more wisely to let Gen. Black
alone unless they find something in his
| official conduct which deserves condemna-
| ton.

The Augusta FACTORY TroubIe.

The strike at the Augusta factory in
Augusta continues. The latest reports
do not indicate an early settlement OF the
differences between employers and en-
ployes.
The situation seems to be about this:
The employees demand an advance in their
wages. The employers answered that
they could not comply with the demand
because they were barely making eX-
penses. II 1t be true that the factory is
making no money do the employees regard
their demand as a just one? DO they eX-
pect mat their employers will grant an
Increase OF wages and run the factory al
a loss? II they do not expect this they
must believe that the statement that
the factory is making no money is
not true. They ought to make an
investigation at once, and satisfy them
selves Of the truth or falsity OF the state.
ment. 1t is better TO work for reasonably
low wages than no wages at all. The
time to demand an increase OF wages
when too low, is when employers are
making money; then they don't want
their business stopped. When they are
making no money they don't care whether
their business is stopped or not. Work
ingmen frequently follow the lead OF those
who are bad counsellors. 1t is folly, to
inaugurate a strike without some assur-
ance OF success.

a Senator for Senator MilIer's uneXpired
term, for which Senator Hearst was APP
pointed but also the Senator for the
term which begins wnen the uneXpired
term ends.
Gen. Stoneman's mistake, if mistake 1T
be, grew out OF his Interpretation OF the
statute by authority Of which special ses-
siOns Of the Legislature are called. HIS
view Of the statute is that the Legislature
can transact no other business than that
mentioned IN the proclamation which
authorizes it to assemble. The other one,
and the one which appears to be general
ly accepted, is that the Legislature when
once in session can transact any business
it desires to.
OF course the Republicans are in high
glee. They have grave doubts about beng
able to get a majority of the next Legisla-
ture. But if their Interpretation of the
law is correct 1t will not make much dit
ference to them whether they elect ma
iority or not.
II Gov. StOneman has made a mistake
he will not soon again be honored by the
Democrats OF California. If 1t can be
shown, however, that the public interests
demanded that the Legislature should be
convened at once the Interpretation he
placed upon the statute relating to special
sessions ceases to be important. If the
public interests were suffering for the
want of legislation he pursued the only
honorable course open to him. No honor
able man would permit the public inter-
ests to suffer to gain personal end or
party advantage

At Newark, Ohio, the Salvation
Army was holding a meeting in the
street, when fool ran across the
with hose and began squirting water
upon the crowd and the soldiers, men,
women and children. One man, a
cripple, tried to protect himself, and
was badly beaten by mob of roughs.
The astonishing feature is, there were
no arrests made at the time by the po-
lice. 1t is not necessary to offer any
excuse for the performances of the
Salvation Army. That is their style
of attracting attention, and as long as
the authorities do not object to these
meetings, they ought to be protected.
1t has been noticed that one class of
men-did we say men?-one class of
creatures, is very indignant, as rule,
at the Salvation Army. This class
comprises the doggery-keepers. When
a man who has been in the habit Of
drinking joins the Salvation Army,
he gives his money thereafter to his
own family instead of that of the dog
gery-keeper. This leads the latter in
dividual to hold the Army in utter
contempt. The work of the Devils
Agent in robbing the drunkard's FAM
lily is gone, just so long as the Saliva
tion Soldier continues on the march

Republican friends, it is time to
throw aside all minor considerations
and come up squarely to the support
Of our entire ticket. A desperate ef-
fort is being made to defeat Mr.. T. T.
Jones, our candidate for Auditor. This
effort will of course fail. Mr.. Jones
will be triumphantly elected, and if
any Republican scratches his name off
the ticket, all the consolation or salts
faction he can have left after the
election is the simple fact that he tried
to defeat a good Republican, and elect
a Democrat, and failed. Mr. Jones is
one Of the most thoroughly qualified
men who ever ran for the Office of
Auditor. He is a man in every way
worthy Of the support Of every Re
publican in the county. You will per-
haps hear many stories concerning
him, from now till the day Of the
election. Those that have been told,
and those that are being told, are all
lies, every one. Mr. Jones' nomina-
ton was as square as that of any other
candidate nominated in this county.
He is thoroughly capable, and should
have handsome majority. The De-
mocracy should be taught that lying
is Improbable, and an effective way
to teach this great fact, is to give
Jones rousing majority. Vote for
the entire Republican ticket, and leave
the Democracy out in the cold.

It may interest the doggery- keepers
to know that the sentiment in favor
of wiping out the Internal liquor-dens
cannot be measured by the little crowd
of politicians who call themselves
"Prohibitionists." There is a deep
seated Temperance sentiment among
the people Of Ohio, that BODIES no good
to the doggery. Every man-drunk
or sober-outside of the business, re-
CARDS the doggery as positive and
dangerous nuisance in community,
and the future doubtless has in store
some trouble for the doggery, no mat
ter what may be the result of the
present campaign. The keepers Of the
liquor-dens do not fear any movement
which aims at nothing beyond Demo-
cratic success, because the Democratic
party is to the doggery what the
trusty vidette is to the army. But the
people are rapidly coming to the con-
clusion that the only thing to do with
a doggery is to kill it. If it cannot
be killed at once, it may be taxed until
an opportunity offers to kill it, but
the taxing is not fnality by any
means. The doggery is degrading and
horrible. Men should not go near it,
save to kill it. It is losing its power,
and the people are determined that
something must be done with this
dreadful business, and that as soon as
