GEORGE ii. PENDLETON.

The announcement Of the death Of
this distinguished citizen in Berlin,
while not entirely unexpected, was a
shock to the people Of America.
Since the tragic death of his wife
in 1856, he has not been considered a
we'll man. Our readers will remem
Der that Mrs. Pendleton, who had ac-
companiud her husband to Berlin,
when he was appointed minister to
Germany, returned to this country,
and in the spring of 1886, was thrown
from her carriage in Central Park,
New York City, and killed. 1t was
too much for him to bear, and its an
nouncement broke his spirit
and brought on stroke OF
paralysis. His health since has
been precarious, and resignlng hi>
position as Minister last spring
he spent the summer at Germany's
celebrated watering places. But
death at last claimed its victim.
Mr.. Pendleton was a native OF
Ohio, and her people had honored
him through years Of public service
AS a member of the Legislature, Con.
gress, and L. 5. Senate, he met the
expectation Of his friends. In 1864
he was a candidate for Vice Presi-
dent on the ticket with Mcclellan.
In 1868 he was prominent candi-
date for the Presidency, but was
withdrawn in favor of Horatio Sey-
mour. He was appointed Minister
to Germany by Mr.. Cleveland. His
name is more prominently connected
with the civil service bill, Of which
he was the author, than of any other
public measure.
His character was unsullied, and
his life pure. America has lost a pa,
trlot and statesman.

TARIFF REFORM LEAYEN.

To-day the National Farmers All
lance meets in general convention at
St. Louis, and a committee of the
Knights of Labor will appear before
them in the interest Of the co-opera-
ton and federation Of these two great
bodies.
Prominent knights and farmers ia
vor the union, and it is thought that
there will be but few to oppose the
move.
Grand Master Workman Powderly
is in favor Of the consolidation, and
says that if need be he would cheer
FULLY give up his position and place
himself as private soldier under the
flag of the united orders.
Mr.. Powderly is a power, and
now that he has aligned himself with
the tariff retormers, his influence will
be on the right side. lie is sensi-
bic and observing man, and when he
says that the crushing weight of The
tariff comes on the poor, it does more
than anything else to set the laboring
men of the country to thinking.
The Confederation of Associated
Knights of Labor and Farmers AL
liancemen will be tariff reform or
ganization, and all the wealth of the
millionaire monopoly barons will be
but as straw compared other solid

THE NATIONAL FLOWER

Suggestions and discussions as to
an American National flower are still
finding space in the great papers of
the country, and yet it seems strange
that no one has thought of or sug-
gested one that gives general salts
faction.
There is a flower that lifts its
proud head above the soil of both
North and South, flourishing in all
America !; that has been highly hon.
ored in both the new and old worlds :
about the only flower we know OF
that special fairs have been held for
the exhibition ola beautiful flower.
and flower, too, that the pretty and
popular Mrs. Cleveland has honored
by proclaiming it her favorite among
all the lovely flowers. 1t is the
CHRYsANTHEMUM
What prettier flower, one tina,
grows in every State Of the Union
could We find for our national
emblem 2

THAT NAVY YARD.

We confess to deep disappoint-
ment that the recommendation for
the location of the new Navy lard
on the Gulf did not endorse Pensa-
cola. Since it's first discovery by
DeNarvaes, the deep land-locked
harbor, has excited the attention and
admiration Of all the great powers
that ever claimed supremacy on 'hls
continent. The navies OF the world
can not only enter, but ride in safety
in its deep and protected waters.
Considering It's proximity to the
iron and coal of Alabama, and the
numerous points that could be Sc
lected, entirely protected from the
heaviest of modern ordnance, We
certainly hoped tina. with its superior
advantages, Pensacola would secure
the navy yard.
But Pensacola is live, thrifty, go
ahead city, and with the advantages
she possesses will meet the expecta-
tions OF her most sanguine friends.

OUR SIMON.
ton.

Hon. 5. b. Conover, whose polit-
ical career is we'll known in this
State, and Republican of orthodox
standing, is out in a strong letter to
the New York Sun, accusing Harri-
son and his administration OF "du
plicity and double dealing" in the
importations of silver. bearing lead
ores from Mexico. He claims that
letters came during the canvass from
Indianapolis, over the signatures of
Harrison's intimate friends, that il
the mining districts of the North
NEST would furnish s'sinews of war;"
that their interests should be pro
tected from Mexican importation OF
silver-bearing lead ore. This pro
lection was to be secured by orders
from the Treasury Department.
The election over, Harrison seated,
and promises forgotten and broken
such is the lamentable wall tina,
comes up from our Simon in behalf
of the dup"s who furnished the
means to corrupt the voter. Twas
ever thus with Radical promises.

THE APACHEE INDIANS.

This noted tribe of Indians seems
a source of never-ending trouble to
Uncle Sans Government.
AS free wanderers Of the forest,
they were terror to all, and since
their capture have had several places
Of imprisonment. They are now at
Mt. Vernon barracks, Alabama, but
the Indian Rights Association, Of
Boston, must have a word to say,
and insist that the band be removed
to the mountains Of North Carolina.
Whether the anticipated location
is suitable in a military point Of
view, or the hygienic advantages all
that could be desired, seem not to
have been investigated. One point,
however, seems clear. Gov. Fowle,
Of North Carolina, objects to having
such visitors and goes SO far as to tell
Secretary Proctor that he had better
send them to Vermont, to occupy
the deserted farms of his own State
The Green Mountain boys will now
think that North Carolina has a
Fowle mouthed Governor

THE BUSINESS OUTLOOK.

r. G. Dunn & Co.'S weekly re-
view is out, and gives hopeful view
of the business outlook. The heavy
fires at Lynn and Boston during the
past week will not have the depress-
ing effect at first supposed. A
banker at Boston said: "The burn
ing up of stocks and merchandise is,
in effect, a sale of them to the in
surance companies for cash, and will
result, in a short time, in throwing a
great deal of cash into our banks.
Most of the insurance losses are
made by English companies, as in
the case of the Lynn fire, and as these
companies have no balances here,
much new money must come from
abroad" Rebuilding in both burned
cities will create a large demand for
materials and labor, and conse-
quentlv the influence Of these dis
asters will be narrow and brief.
In all other respects the outlook
is good. Trade in cotton goods is
strong, and the mills well employed,
and prices strengthening. The trade
in metals is good, and iron on a
regular boom, owing to the markets
abroad. at would be a wonder in
deed, if with light railroad building
and reduced demand for rails, this
country should continue 70 consume
the enormous quantity of iron now
being made. But this is a country
of wonders"
The Western cities, without ex-
ception, find trade good and money
fairly active, and nowhere stringent.
Cotton is unchanged, though the
receipts this week exceed last years
by 10000 bales, and the exports by
$1,000 bales and the sales have been
37s, 900. Coffee has not moved, not
outstanding the change Of govern
ment in Brazil, and the sale OF 80, 900
bags during the week.
The value Of exports for October,
is larger than ever before known in
that month ; indeed, it has never
been surpassed in any month, save
slightly in the month Of December,
1879. The excess Of exports for
October over imports, amounts to
the large sum Of $29,O0O,oOO, and a
large excess is assured for Novem-
Der, which has kept foreign exchange
unchanged.

Col. William Hines, Railroad Commits
@ioner, who has recently travelled through
East and South Florida, has returned H.
'ninks the State Is entering upon season
of renewed prosperity. In his opinion the
people are more cheerful and hopeful than
for sometime past.
The crops, both Of cotton and oranges, are
selling at more satisfactory prices, and there
tore more money is being realized " the
-rowers. The tobacco interest is attracting
greater attention. At Tampa several thol
sand persons are in one way and another
connected with the manufacture OF cigars
and goodly number of the natives are en-
gaging in cigar making Cigar makers
earn large wages, and it is likely from pres
INT Indications, that not only will the man
Il acture of cigars increase, but that our
wn people will engage in that business
Besides. the growing of tobacco is becom-
Ing more popular each year.
Again, the discovery OF phosphate depos-
IS in several localities is in itself adding
greatly to the wealth of the State. With
ut doubt immense quantities Of it have
been discovered along and near the With
'acoochee river, in Citrus and adjoining
noun'es, as we'll as in the Peace and in
AIafia rivers.
Improvements are going on in many
places, especially in Tampa and Leesburg

EMIN PASHA.

The question is frequently asked,
who is Emin Pasha, for whose safety
SANKEY'S last trip into the interior Of
Africa was undertaken?
He is a German by birth, regu-
lar NJ. d., of the Berlin University,
and known at home as DR.. Schnitzler
Fond of travel, he went East and
studied the Oriental languages, and
served for a time as surgeon IN the
Turkish army. He afterwards went
to Africa and joined Gordon, the
English General, at Khartoum. His
ability and interchangeable zeal were
soon recognized. Gordon sent him
on many diplomatic missions, and at
last made him Governor Of all the
equatorial provinces.
Here he engaged in the work OF
stopping the slave trade, teaching
the natives the principles of civillza-
ton, and how to grow cotton, rice,
indigo, coffee, &c. His success was
admirable, his territorial possessions
were widening, and his influence in
creasing. But in 1882 the Madhi
arose and led his immense hosts
northward, destroying the army OF
Hicks Pasha and conquering khar-
toum. Here the brave Gordon fell,
and thus the Madhi became master
of the greater portion of the Soudan.
This left Emin surrounded and
without outside support, and from
that period he has maintained, by
his influence over the natives, his
rule over the equatorial regions OF
Africa; and seemed for time fast
converting it into semi-civilized
condition. His position being
deemed critical from a European
standpoint, however, relief expedI.
ton was organized. Stanley, the
great African explorer, was at the
head of the expedition. No man
was so we'll qualified for the task.
In 1871 he discovered Livingston,
and this is his fourth journey through
the wilds of Africa.
Africa will yet be brought under
the benign influence of civilization,
and the names of Livingston, Emin
Pasha and Stanley will be written iii
durable letters over it's history.

THE SILVER CONVENTION.

The Silver Convention, with rep.
resentatives from 90 States and Ter
ritories, has been in session the past
week at st. Louis. The question OF
the unlimited coinage Of silver, which
was so clandestinely demonetized by
the Republican leaders, will be one
Of the leading issues before the pres
ent Congress, and We give the report
of the committee on resolutions in
full, which passed the Convention by
vote Of 1877 to I:
Congressman Bland, chairman Of the res
Oiutions committee, presented the following
report
That the demonstration Of silver worked
the practical violation OF every cOntract
then existing IN The United States entailcd
countless losses, reduced prices more than
30 per cent and its effect is practically to
make debts perpetual, as it takes from tn.
debtor the ability to pay
That it causes contraction in the cur
rency which reduces value until there is no
profit left for the farmer, the planter or the
men of small capital, who depend upon the
sale of products for returns for their labor
That we believe that the certificate of the
government, backed, dollar for dollar. by
gold and silver coin, on deposit in the
Treasury of the United States, is Il safe and
sound currency and has been ap. ,roved bv
the people.
That, considering the contracton caused
by the surrender OF national bank notes
during the past three years and the vast
sums that must be collected by cancellation
of government bonds during the next thr, g
years, the necessity Of restoring silver is a.
manifest AS is the justice OF such policy.
That the gold and silver OF the West
pouring in Il steady stream upon the Ets;
for forty years, vitaliz"d every form OF bus
iness there, and steadied and upheld the
credit Of the nation through a great war
and made resumption possible and lha,
what we now demand is 80 much more TO
the interest OF the East than OF the West as
the productions of the East exceed in yalur
the productions Of The West.
That we believe in the equal rights Of gold
and silver, and free coinage for both. and
that no nation ever had, or ever will have
too much gold and silver coin.
Resolved, That congress be requested
by this convention to provide at lis frs,
session for opening the minis of the Uniied
States to the free and unlimited coinage
OF standard silver dollars of the present
weight and fineness, to be legal tender Tor
all debts, public or private, equally with
gold, and that until such provision is made
he secretary OF the treasury be required to
coin the maximum amount of silver per
month, as now authorized by law.
