A RIVER Pilot Upsets the Confidence
OF Ship Captain.

A RIVER Pilot Upsets the Confidence
OF a Ship Captain.
A little episode occurred on the river
yesterday which goes to show that there
are some people in every community who
take very little interest in public matters
and things.
The bark Mary 8. Ames arrived ia
ballast from Boston, and on her way
up the river the pilot asked the cap
tain who would load his vessel. The
captain replied that his papers called
for man named J. j. McDonough.
He asked the pilot If he knew such person.
The pilot replied that he had never heard Of
any one Of that name in Savannah. This
rather worried the captain.
When the vessel arrived up to the city the
captain was met by the harbor-master, who
rendered him the harbor regulations and
asked him what merchant would load the
vessel. The captain replied that his papers
named j. ]. MoDonough. The pilot, he said,
knew Of no such party.
why, man." said the harbor-master,
that's the mayor Of the city,
The captain was treasured.

The Central Railroad and Catholic
library Association ball teams will play
their second game this afternoon. The
Centrals have played four games and won
three. while the Catholic Library Associe-

TIE CLUBS LIKELY TO PAY.

The License Issue to be Kept Out OF
the Courts If Possible.
The club license question may possibly be
settled after all without an appeal to the
courts. Mayor McDonough has summoned
the officers Of the Oglethorpe Club to appear
before him this morning to answer the
charge Of selling hquor without license.
Several consultations have been had about
the matter. and yesterday the mayor stated
that be believed the Oglethorpes had de-
cided to pay the license and not make any
fight. Therefore the docket case will hardly
be tried.
If the Oglethorpe pays the licenses re-
quired by the city of course the other clubs
will fail into line and do likewise.

A Little Colored Boys Foolhardlness
Results in His Death.
Walton ]. Jones. colored boy years
old, was drowned in the Ogeechee canal
yesterday afternoon.
Jones, who was unable TO swim, was TAX
ing bath in the shallow part Of the canal,
where the water is not over two or three
feet deep. The boy became little too ven
turesome and walked about until he reached
that portion Of the canal recently dug QUE
by the Central railroad, when he suddenly
went down. He rose to the surface twice,
and colored man jumped into the water
to rescue him, but came near being drowned
himself. as he was unable to swim.
The body of the boy was found shortly
afterward, and attempts were made to re-
suscisate him. Acting Coroner Naughtin
deemed an inquest unnecessary under the
circumstances. Jones lived with his parents
on Olive street.

TIE MONUMENT COMMITTEE.

Capt. D. @. Purse Appointed Chair
man.
Mayor McDonough yesterday appointed
Capt d. G. Purse chairman of the commit
tee of fifty to arrange for securing subscrip-
tions to the Jefferson Davis monument.
Capt Purse will call a meeting Of the COM
mittee at an early day to make out its pro-
gramne.
The appointment is good one. Capt.
Purse is an enthusiastic worker in public
matters, and no doubt will succeed in
awakening the patriotic sentiment of the
people in such a manner that they will
respond literally in assisting to erect a
monument to the memory of the con-
federacy's president which will be worthy
Of the man.

Ruralist: The Alliance as an organ
ization did not form a third party. 1t
remains non-partisan. In the organic
alton political economy, the science of
government, is discussed in non-par-
tisan spirit.
Press dispatch from Canton, Miss.
State Alliance Lecturer McAllister has
called convention of Alliance men to
meet here on August 10Th at which
time national delegates will be selected.
The call issued by McAllister is to the
following effect: "All opposed to the
Sub-Treasury and land loan schemes: all
who are opposed to turning the Alliance
over to designing shams and leprous
demagogues who desire to turn the or
der into secret political machine for
their own benefit; all who are opposed
to Macuneism in the Alliance with its
corruption, bribery, perjury and fraud:
all who favor restoring the Alliance to
its original purposes and making it 3
non-political, non partisan organization
free from the communicating influence
of intriguing frauds and mercenary i'm
postors."

Minneapolis Journal: The movement
for much larger representation at the
Republican state convention in South
Dakota seems to be growing strongly.
We haven't noticed very much agita-
tion OF this subject, and the fact is that
it is not the size of the convention so
much as the manner in which it's dele
gates are chosen that is of vital impor-
tance. With every faction of the party,
if there are factions, in each county in
attendance at the primaries, and with a
fair and above-board choice of county
delegates who in turn shall select rep
resentatiyes to the state convention
who are Republicans in the truest sense
of the term, there will be no trouble
about the outcome.

The Democrats have carried Ken
lucky again by their usual majorities
and while it is claimed that the Alli-
ance has secured the majority of the
legislature the members elected are
Democrats first. The third party peo-
pie who have been making great boasts
of what they would do in this state were
evidently not in it, they polling 10000
votes where they claimed 10000. The
Alliance in the south is opposed to the
third party movement there but is
wildly in favor of it in the Republican
north and northwest.

Ruralist: The South Dakota Alliance
has always been true to her leaders
while under fire. The tiercer the as
sault the more loyal the people and so
it will continue.
Now isn't this the fact-that the pol
icy of the Alliance papers and speakers
has been to keep up persistent, nag
ging personal fire on Republicans and
Republican papers. until the latter are
provoked to answer in kind once in a
while? Then, when these retorts are
made-and they generally do their sub
jects full justice-isnt it the chief stock
in trade of these third party agitators
to make it appear that the opposition
press is assaulting the socalled leaders
rather than discussing principles?
Doesn't the Ruralist know this to be
true?

And you would like to hear of one DUE
zle that has been solved for the people of
the whole world, wouldn't you?
Well, we will tell you about that very
puzzle, and its solution.
At the Universal Exposition of 1859 1t
Paris, France, the best sewing MACHINES Of
the world, including those of America, were
in competition. They were passed upon bya
Jury composed OF the best foreign mechsn-
lcal experts. two of whom were the leading
sewing machine manufacturers of France.
Ihls jury, after exhaustive examination
and tests, adjudged that the Wheeler &
Wilson machines were the best of all. and
awarded that company the highest prize Of.
fered, the GRAND PRIZE, giving other
companies only gold, silver and bronze
medals.
The French Government. as a further
recognition of superiority, decorated Mr
Nathaniel Wheeler, president of the com.
pany, with the Cross of the Legion OF
Honor, the most priced honor of France.
That is how the puzzle Of the best sewing
machine in the world was fully solved by the
most competent authority in the world I'm
favor of the No. 8 and No. 12 Wheeler g.
Wilson machines.
The No: 8, for family use, and the No. 12,
for manufacturing uses, are the best in the
world to-day.
And now, when you want q sewing ma.
chine, II you do not get the best, it will be
your own fault.

does not keep them, write to US for descrip-
tive catalogue, prices and terms.

Well, Quay and Dudley have resigned
at last from their most thankless posi-
tlons in connection with the National
Republican committee. And while
nine-tenths of the allegations against
them were probably malicious fabrica-
tions for political effect, the fact that
they had been so long the targets for
abuse as to create the impression in
tended to be created, renders their res
lgnations desirable as matter of expe-
diency. Once they are out of the way
of the opposition and you will hear
nothing further against the character
of either of them.

Please, professor, what is the class

And "cracking?" But, seriously, even
a partial knowledge of Greek and Latin
is great help toward writing good

The Washington CORRESPONDENT who
has just interviewed Charlie Mccoy for
the Minneapolis Tribune deserves credit
for two things. The first is for induc-
ing the usually reticent politician from
Brown county to talk so freely: and the
other is for doing the Republican party
the great service of promulgating the
good horse sense which Mccoy deliv-
cred himself of. The situation in
South Dakota could not have been more
aptly put, and the conclusions reached
are right in line with the suggestions
recently made and reiterated in these
columns.

Some of the anti-protection papers
are making the broad assertion that the
Secretary OF the Treasury has permit

some such ruling but he has been re-
versed by Secretary Foster himself.

would get weary of these tactics Of mis-
representation.

The veteran Conklin is another of
the two or three Republican editors in
the state to misapprehend the purpose
OF the proposed conference. The edi-
tors ask nothing for themselves as a
class, but great many of them believe
that their judgment in political mat
ters, in view of the work that is always
expected of them, is worthy of consider
alton. That is all, and "Conk" should
amend his views accordingly.
