But they can't fool him lit a matter of business, Loverne, Ala­ bama, tried it the other day by refusing to let a colored postmaster have business room, and "Holy John" discontinued the Office in a holy minute. ' 1 "t&'Much uneasiness was created in po­ litical circles at Washington, particularly1 among the Democrats, early last week by a report, that the veteran congressman, Samuel J. Randall, was dangerously ill. Later reports contradicted it and stated that Mr. Randall would be in Washing­ ton in a few weeks. The loss of Mr. Ran­ dall would be an irreparable oae to the Democrats in the House of RaprMeata- New, Stylish, Ladies', Misses?', And Children's CLOAKS!

R. posts have taken . ••HI the question of removing the remains of General Grant from New York to Ar­ lington cemetery. Resolutions have been adopted in favor of the removal, and these resolutions are to be sent for in (torsment, to every post in the United States. I there is anything like unani-- mity among the G. A. R. people in favor! of the removal it is almost certain to be made. I®" Under the laws of Bulgaria, if a 5 s patent medicine is warranted to cure a certain disease and fails to do it, the manufacturer can be prosecuted and sent to prison. No cure for consumption can be found in that country.--Exchange. The law of Bulgaria is founded upon just principles, and should be endorsed by Americans. If there was ever a coun­ ty cursed with worthless patent medi­ cines which propose to cure everything, and are really good for nothing, that •ovntry is America. J®* According to the Commercial and Financial Chronicle of New York, the cotton crop for the current season--1888 and '89--is the largest ever produced in the South. It reaches six million nine hundred and thirty-five thousand bales. The crop of 1887-r88 was something over five million bales. The greatest crop known in the days of slavery was that of 1859-'60. It amounted to four million eight hundred and twenty-three thousand Wee. V.1 . J®T"Here is some conclusive testi­ mony," says the Portland (Me.) Press, "on the question of wages in England Its compared with wages in this country treasurer Walker, of the North Vassal- boro Woolen Mill, who recently visited Europe, says that he found a mill in England making precisely the same kind of cheviots which his Yassalboro mill is making, but that the foreign weavers (good workmen) received only $3.50 per wade, while his weavers herv of like effi­ ciency receive $9 per week." I®*From Racine comes the story of • the pranks of a "ghost," who bothers the ffatchraan at the Scottford factory by •Bttlng tJie machinery winning When the watchman is down stairs the machin­ ery up stairs will start, and when the watchman gets there the machinery will stop and that down stairs will start. Hie proprietor with additional watch­ men has not yet been able to fathom the mystery.* If there is no steam at that hour, the question is what moves the machinery? For a ghost story, it is a , little out of the common run. tflr Henry Ferguson, a wealthy colored lii&n in Texas, has completed arrange­ ments for taking a colony of several hun­ dred families of colored people to Mexico, where each head of a family will be pro- > Tided with nine acres of land and as much more as he can purchase by his own sav­ ings. This has brought the white plants M* of Texas to a realization that there is no danger of a race war in that State, and that the negro is very necessary ad­ dition to their popufotion.

Under circumstances the chances that the exhibition will go to Chicago to New York are growing day- 1ST The church has been sharply criti­ cised, and no doubt justly, for giving its millions erf dollars annually to "save the heathen," when according to its own the- tilogy they would be saved anyhow, and Suffering its own worthy poor--its wid- pws, orphans, and its needy communi- Oftnts to miSeHor food, shelter, clothing, education. We have been unable for jears to justify foreign missionary con- tributions, except on the grounds that ', *ej help the heathen into a higher ideal ;«f life, and are not to save them from f|, JfSehenna.
