 The Littonia (Georgia) New Era says: "There will be at least thousand candidates for the legislature in Georgia this year. Counting ten bales to the mule, they could produce 0,000 bales of cotton" This is pretty rough on the candidates.

The success we have attained in this branch of our business is by having in stock continually the best styles, designs and effects that are to be purchased in Curtains and Upholstery materials of every description and at the lowest possible prices.

GEORGE WILLIAM CURTIS ON THE
PRESIDENTS MESSAGE.

George William Curtis interrupted
his work in his book lined study on
Staten Island when caller asked him
what he thought OF the presidents mes
sage.
at is very characteristic paper"
Mr.. Curtis began. at is evidently the
result of strong conviction that the
question most prominent is tina; OF the
reduction OF the surplus, and the equal
ly strong conviction that the method
of reduction should be in the
interest OF the whole people. 1t is a
document addressed rather to what
| MIR. Lincoln used 10 call The plain
people of the country than to congress
alone. The president Is aware that tho
question is complicated one one
with which in its details The people at
large are not very familiar. He undoubt-
eddy Intended that the message should
be just what it has been called-au
elementary treaties. 1t furnishes every
man who Is busy with his daily work,
both arguments and answers upon the
general question it discusses. In this
way it tends to make strong public
opinion of the policy which the presi-
dent advocates. The message strongly
commends his views to the common
sense of the country, as involving nc
| theoretical discussion of the advant-
ages of protection, or what is called
free trade, but SIMPLY as Il measure of
practical relief tor an actual condition"
THE message" continued Mr.. Cur.
tbs, after pause, "shows the presi-
dents courage and bis independence,
as we'll rs his convictions. Ii offers q
practical policy, and not an abstract
theory to his party. Undoubtedly it
takes practical ground directly op-
posed to that of Mr.. Randall and other
protectionists. But his course as pres
ident has made him virtually the un-
disputed democratic candidate for next
year, and the virtual dictator of the
democratic policy. But with the small.
democratic majority In the house, aud
the republicans controlling the senate,
and in view of tho presidential election
next year, it is highly improbably that
any measure following strictly the
course indicated by tho message will be
adopted this winter"
MIR. Curtis, touching the comedy part
Blaine assumed in his criticism of the
message, said: "Mr. Bisine's comments
or The message are equally character
tstic. Ii not made for the purpose, they
will yet serve the purpose OF rendering
his nomination by the republicans sill
more probable. But the comments of
the Chicago Tribnne reveal feeling in
the republican party III regard 10 the
miSchiefs arising from over taxation
which is very significant, which is
undoubtedly growing, and of which
Mr. Blaine apparently has taken 10
account. The message makes .he
president the chief representative vi IL
policy nj reducing the surplus, which
will be supported by an immense snd

!. GALL FOR AN INVESTIGATION

| RICHLAND, Mo, Feb. j, 1888.
Editor Republican. AS the ques-
ton of "local option" is now being
agitated III St. Louis, | would like 10
make suggestion to the advocates OF
the measure. 1t is this-that the local
optiOnists make q thorough investiga-
ton of the workings Of the law In
those cities and counties that have
adopted il, and see il il has proved the
panacea that it is claimed 10 be. We
think this would be the correct way,
or, at least, Il satisfactory way Of dis
! posing OF the matter. Ii it is proving
| II success where adopted, its friends
| would have that fact 20 aid them IN
their fight in the city. II il has proved
| a failure where adopted, certainly such
| men as G.. u. Johnson, Decring and
Others do not want 90 iuflict the city OF
| ST. Louis with the fraud. We make
! this suggestion from the fact that we
were an advocate Of the measure when
first introduced auto the senate, before
! it became law. We verify believed
| il y good thing, and a step forward in
| the cause Of temperance. AS sOon as

adoption by our comfy. We thus
