IIIII Lark Rrhin4 tbe Rpat-
lirso Candidate.
There is on fjuwtion depending on
the election of tb cert president which,
in its notn-Lt'jus iinptrrtance and vital
Imperativeness, tanrt seia to every phil
wophic observer to eiceed every other
political qnertkm that the people are
now called ripr-n to determine. All
dileri:i of opinion respecting admin
istrative reform, or silver coinage, or
free trade or protection, or the personal
qualities or antecedents of candidate,
in short, the whole ordinary array ef
electoral controversies, are. in compan
ion, of inferior, indeed of almort tririal,
XDOCttsDt.
We mean the qnerrku whether those
southern stav which have inherited
negro population narpastis the num
ber of their white citizens shall, by
federal law and federal military force,
be subjected to the political domination
of th negroes, to nevro lei'Iatnr-,
negTo governors and n"srro jodipn in
their court, or whether they ehall con
tinue to be governed by whit znen as
now.
Now it Uiak's no difference who may
be the president whom the Republican
party elect. That party is by its natnre
and traditions under the nec3rity of
enacting and executing an election law
whose purpose and effect will be to pat
the negrix?-) in control of several of the
aoathern state-". There will be some
unwillingness on the part of a i-atriotic
minority amona tlie Republicans who
will revolt :it the confluences of sich

In thi view .-f the content, what con

his duty? Better vote for the lilrty
and the white government of the south
ern states rather than consent to the
election of respectable Benjamin Harri
son with a force bill in his pocket.

The Embodiment of Democracy.
From the instant that Mr. Geveland
was declared it nominee by the chair
man of our national Democratic conven
tion he ceased to be a private citizen and
became the representative and embodi
ment of the success and the principles of
Democracy, so it is our duty as Demo
crats to bnry in the grave of oblivion all
past differences, and with a nnaniiLity
of purpose and in unbroken ranks bear
onward and to victory the banner of our
party. The man who seeks to revive old
differences or attempts to create a breach
in the Democratic ranks of this or any
other state is a traitor to his party and an
enemy to hU people. There are but two
parties known in the ffreat contest now
npon us. Republicanism, as represent'
in Benjamin Harrwon, and Democracy,
m represented in Grover Cleveland.
Columbia S. C.) Register.
Cleveland Can Carry Xtw York.
It is almost certain that the candidate
at the Democratic party will be elected.
If there is a Democrat living who can
carry the state of New York that man
is Grover Cleveland. As a strong can
didate, as a safe candidate, as a popular
candidate, he was the most available
man to be found in the ranks of the
Democracy. One thing which the
Chicago convention has detnontrtrated
beyond any question is the marvelous
popularity of Mr. Cleveland with the
voting maaaes. No ex-president has
been so conspicuous a figure as has Mr.
Cleveland. No a tn teaman has ten ac
corded greater deference by thinking
men. Buffalo Enquirer.
Tli I'reaideot'a Apology.
Mr. Harrison made a characteristic
speech to tho friends who gathered to
congratulate hi:.n on his nomination. He
apologized humbly for not having offices
enough to go around among all who had
"deserved" them by working for his
election, but insisted that he did the best
hecould. We think the president's apol
ogy should bo accepted. Memphis Com
mercial (Dew.).
Tariff Reform and Victory,
The feature of tlie platform which
will mark the fighting line of the cam
paign is its tariff plank. The nomina
tion of Cleveland on this platform draws
the issue sharply between the parties.
Cnder tlie banner of Cleveland and
tariff reform the ueuiocracy of the na
tion, if it opposes a united front to tho
enemy, march to certain victory.

a different result in Chicago would have

Old as the history of the world itself is
, that of the queen of Cowers. The ancient
Greeks and Romans revelled in roses ;
they were used lavishly at their feasts.
In the time of the republic the people
had thtir cups cf Faleinia.i wine swim
ming with blooms; and the Spartau
soldiers after the battle of Cirrha refused
to drink any wine that was not perfumed
with roses; while at the regatta of Baiae,
ths whole surface of ths Lucrine lake
was strewn with the flowers. Nro at
his baoquetiogs showered rose-water
npon his guests from an opening in the
ceiling; and when honoring ths house of
a nobis with his presence, the host is
compelled to have his fountains playing
rose-water. Ia the repast itself rose
found place in the form of a rose pud
ding. The Sybarites slept on beds stuffed
with rose-leaves: the tyrant Dionysiui
had his couch filled with them; Verus
would travel with a garland on his bead
and round his neck, and over his litter
he had a thin net with rose-leaves Inter
twined. Antiochus luxuriated uron a
bed of blooms evsn in winter days and !
eights; and when Cleopatra entertained
Antony, she had roses covering the floof
to the depth, it is said, of an ell. We arc
told that Heliogabaius supplied so many
at one of his banquets that several of his
guests were suffocated in the endeavor to
extricate themselves from the abundance
victims of a surfeit of sweet odors.
Doubtless the immoderate use of roses by
the ancients led in after days to their be
ing relegated to their proper sphere in
the garden ; for although we have had
the wars of the roses in our modern
times, the flowers were only plucked as
a symbol. First and last, the rose has
been the theme of countless poems;
there is no poet worthy of the name who
has not consecrated it in verse.
la Itsal Life.
"Jim the Penman" is perhaps a moro
picturesque figure on the stage than la i
real life, but he and bis kind exist, nev
ertheless. The story of a "gentleman
burglar" recently arrested in London
furnishes the material for a sensational
novel. After running a career of vice
in England, this fellow, who was bat
thirty, and handsome in face and figure,
came to America and introduced himself
to New York society as a lieutenant of
the Royal Engineers. So well did ha
play his part that within a year he mar
ried the daughter ef a lady of means, a
pretty and accomplished girL His
mother-in-law soon pressed him to intro
duce her to his fashionable relatives in
England. Yielding to her solicitations
he returned there and took a residence In
a quiet country town, where he soon be
came a social light, and entertained lav
ishly. By-and-by mysterious burglaries
began in the neighborhood, but no one
dreamed of suspecting the elegant and
wealthy "lieutenant" of complicity in
them. Ultimately he was caught, how
ever, and accused of breaking into resi
dences and stealing various articles. By
this time the family of his unfortunate
wife had been stripped of nearly every
penny and left in an almost destitute
condition plus the burden of his liabili
ties. Even after his marriage the plausi
ble rogue kept up a correspondence with
ladies with a view to marriage, and paid
personal attention to others. He was
indicted for burglary, and found guilty
of receiving goods well knowing them
to have been stolen, and was sentenced
to twelve years' penal servitude. The
history of his various love affairs points
out the moral which girls so often forgot
that a wooer should have more relia
ble passports to their favor than a hand
some face and ingratiating manner.

Pliny, the great naturalist, who lived

Swedish investigator of the eighteenth
century, could classify 478, and he is
known to have been the greatest ichthy
