In 1885 DR.. Prentice invented and
Copyrighted mathematical system for
fitting spectacles or glasses which is,
undoubtedly, the most accurate of any
now in use. 1t is used in England,
Holland and France DR.. Gardner, of
Chicago, says it is the true principle.
DR.. Holmes says he has found it very
useful. DR.. Fitch, trustee of the
Illinois Eye and Ear In6rmary, relies
on it almost exclusively. With this
system the most delicate and sensitive
eyes can be fitted with glasses so ac-
curately that they are relieved of all
strain. and thus they soon recover their
lost strength. Spectacles fitted and
ground to order in this manner do not
change as ordinary glasses do, but they
wear for years and preserve the sight.

Tho soldier as a Citizen.

CARLYLE spoke of the soldier as the only
positive figure in our civilization.
The genuine soldier is patriot and a
good citizen. If he is the first in war he is
also the first in peace. The brave men
who fight each other at the call of duty are
the most forgiying and forbearing when the
war is over. When an issue is dead they
arc the last to revive it. They may be
fierce in enforcing the arbitrament of the
sword. but they stand by it in good faith.
When our war ended Grant and Lee and
their followers ceased to be enemies. The
passions of the struggle survived only in
,he hearts Of those who remained in the
rear during the fight.
The speeches Of Sickles, Longstreet,
Gordon and Beaver at the Gettysburg re-
union all have the ring OF patriotism and
uaaonaiism. General Beaver summed up

The southern Alliance, in an able article
headed Look to the Main Point" discusses
the question Of the relation of the Farmers
Alliance to politics, and makes some very
sensible suggestions. The truth is beyond
controversy that the farmers have not de-
voted that attention to politics since the
war which the importance of the matter TO
them, as a class, demands.
II. was all very wen before the war, wher
most of the farmers owned their labor and
land, that the discussion Of economic ques-
tions should be left to the professional poll
tician. The farmer was then Independent,
and if tight times came on him he could sell
a negro or two and relieve himself Of the
pressure. Money was easy 10 obtain at
: reasonable rate of interest, and it was a
very sorry man who could not borrow all he
wanted in his own neghborhood at seven
per cent This was all changed by the war;
and the southern Alliance puts the case
strongly rs follows:

nrnther Elnino.s Advice.

During the session of the republican con-
vention at Chicago, the Blaine men, as is
well known, used every effort to bring about
q condition of things that would lead to the
unanimous and apparently spontaneous
nomination of their candidate They sue
ceeded in bringing the convention to dead
lock and in this state it remained until Sat
urday night.
Sunday was the oath of June, and early
in that day Brother Blaine sent telegram
from the boot of the Carnegie coach, in
which he advised his friends in the conycn-
ton to respect his wishes. This was very
smart telegram, but it was made a good deal
smarter by brief postscript which, ont of
abundant caution, Brother Blaine added.
The postscript was TO this effect: "Pgi-
waite, Use wisely
The Blaine boomers used the telegram rs
wisely as they could--so wisely that they
suppressed il entirely until they discovered
ON Monday that Brother Blaine was dead
duck. Then, with great flourish of
trumpets they produced the telegram, to-
gcther with supplementary one, in which 1t
was more than intimatcd that sour grapes
were not good for the stomach.
Thus it is that Brother Blaine cannot lift
his hand without displaying the species Of
cunning that ovcr-rcaches and exposes
itself. lie now proposes to be premier I'M
der man who win never be elected.

SINCE SENATOR CHANDLER is interesting
himself so much about the alleged suppression
of the negro vote by the democrats of the
south, he has a splendid opportunity of widen
ing his field and of showing what the republic
ans are doing in that direction. Senator Sher-
man charges that Governor Alger suppressed"
a number of his delegates, and not by intimi-
dation. or violence, but by bribery. Thus it
will be seen that the colored brother is faring
badly at the hands of their republican friends,
who first buy their votes and then charge them
with being bought. Senator Chandler should
introduce a bill at once.

APot and Kettle Discussion,


a very lively time in quiet way. Pot
Sherman declares that Kettle Alger is just
as black and as mean rs he can be because
he bought up fifty negro delegates to the
Chicago convention who were pledged to
vote for Pot Sherman. In reply Kettle
Alger VOWS that he had as much right to
buy the negro delegates after they went to
Chicago as Pot Sherman had to buy them
before they started.
This discussion between two great repub-
lican statesmen raises a very delicate ques-
tion-a question of vital Importance to those
republicans who are anxious to become can
didates for the presidency, 1t is not only
delicate question, but very important one
in the ethics of republican immortality and
corruption. There is, perhaps, no reason
to doubt that republican statesmen and cap
italists have the right to buy up negro dele
gates if they 80 desire; but has one republi-
can statesman the right to buy up negro
delegates that have already been purchased
and tagged by another republican statesman
equally eminent as an expert in all the
practices by which the republican party has
succeeded in disgracing the country.
1t may be said in behalf of Pot Sherman
that he had been engaged in buying negro
delegates to republican conventions long
before Kettle Alger ever dreamed of be-
coming candidate. He was pioneer in
and pre-empted all the claims in sight.
Thus, according to the standard of honor set
up among republican blacklegs, Kettle
Alger had no right to send his agents TO the
south for the purpose of buying Pot Sher-
mans delegates. There Is no question as to
this.
The real question is, did Kettle Alger
have the right to purchase Pot Sherman's
delegates even after they arrived in Chi
cago? Republican authorities differ on this
point. Some incline one way and some
another. Meanwhile, there is no denial
made in regard to the main facts. 1t is
practically admitted that Pot Sherman
bought the negro delegates before they
started to Chicago, and that Kettle Alger
bought them away from him after they ar
rived.
So far as Kettle Alger is concerned, there
is no attempt at concealment. The Hon.
William Youngblood, of Birmingham, who
is member of the republican national ex-
ecutive committee, is said to be authority
for the statement that Kettle Alger bought
fifty negro delegates who went to Chicago
to vote for Pot Sherman. Mr.. Youngblood
says that the price paid by Kettle Alger for
Pot Sherman's fifty negro delegates was
$500 cash, with all their expenses both
ways and all their expenses in Chicago.
Editor Halstead disposes Of the matter in
way royalty and typically republican. 'It
was all a question of the price of the tickets
held by the delegates" he remarks in his
large way, and he adds: eve suppose
there should not be an International dis
turbance about that" This ought to dis
pose of the matter for the time being, and
even if it is trihe indefinite there is no
reason why Pot Sherman should call Kettle
Alger black.

A Republican Crank.

Brother Elliot +. Shepard, the proprietor
of the New York Mail and Express, appears
to be the most ardent campaigner On the
republican side. The fact that he is one Of
the most disgusting cranks the country has
seen for long time is not regarded as inn
portant by the republicans. He has news
paper he has money, and he has GALL and
these possessions are badge, password and
countersign.
1t is needless to discuss the questionable
taste which Shepard displays in prefacing
the political page of his paper with scrip-
tural quotations, nor is it necessary to refeE
to his cranky letters from Chicago signed
alexander" He has recently capped the
climax of crankiness by mixing politics and
religion in a way that cannot but help the
democrats.
In indianapolis recently this politico-reS
ligous crank attended a religious PRAYER.

son. II not only did this unseemly thing,
but he went further than this and made a
vicious attack on President Cleveland. The
whole performance, as the indianapolis
Sentinel aptly remarks, was so sacriigious
and disgusting that it cannot be properly
characterized in words.

The American Colony in Canada.


With singular blindness or indifference
our statesmen at Washington go on, year
after year, without taking the proper steps
to effect an eXtradition treaty with Great
Britain that will embrace the American de-
faulters who are all the time running across
the Canada line.
Our negligence in this matter has caused
so many crooked business men to seek
safety over the border that the refugees of
this class now residing in Canada are de-
risively spoken of as the American colony.
There is no excuse for such a state of
affairs. A bill completely covering the case
has been pending in the senate for months,
but it appears to be the purpose of that
body to delay action as long possible. Now,
all this is a temptation to men to steal.
During the past ten years about 500 default
ers have fed to Canada taking with them
about forty millions Of dollars. In every
one of these instances, says the New York
Herald, the criminal was a trusted employe,
a confidential bookkeeper or clerk, the
president or cashier of a bank, trustee, or
some one in whose honesty everybody had
full confidence up to the time of his de-
falcation.
Until we secure a proper extradition
treaty we may expect to see the American
colony across the line continue to grow and
flourish. As it is, our business men have
no protection, and there is no safety for the
public. Almost every city and town in the
United States have been victimized by some
defaulter who is now enjoying his ill-gotten
gains under the British flag More than
one such instance has occurred right here
in Atlanta within the past two or three
years.
The remedy for the evil is a new extra
dition treaty, and our present democratic
administration will receive the thanks of all
good citizens when it gives us this much
needed compact with the British govern
ment. Delay simply means more rich
thieves escaping from justice, and more
employers, widows and orphans and de-
positors robbed of the money they have
entrusted to others.

are the words of a brave soldier talking to
other brave soldiers who met him in the
shock of battle a quarter Of century ago.
Give us the soldier first, last and all the
time! The best friends of the south since
the war have been the northern veterans.
The souths best workers, developers and
wisest counsellors have been the men who
wore the gray.
The Gettysburg reunion will teach the
bloody shirt party lesson, and, if we have
a few hotheads down this way who have
forgotten that the war is over, they, too,

career to happy climax by doing the
