Vice President Hendricks.

Atlanta Constitution: As the -Constitution goes to press this morning a special cay enters the depot, bringing a man of whom it may be said there is nothing in the town too good for him. That he is Vice President eleet of the Republic gives less reason for the heartiness of his welcome than he is himself The very affection and enthusiasm that gather about tie man will lessen the formalitv of the reception of the official. Atlanta never lays much store by the pomp or circumstance that hangs about a guest—and not a bit when she is in love with the man himself. It is Tom HendricKS that she will welcome this morning—not the Vice President. t is the grand old Democratic hero who held the Western stronghold and led the Western hosts —who stood, environed all about by Republican ma jorities but unconquerable himself, beset by every resource of the enemy but entrenched in the love of his people— he it is that Atlanta takes to her heart to-day. She has always kept a warm place there for the great Indianian. During the tremendous struggle of last year, on which so

much was staked, it was his name that conjured the heart iest cheers, his ringing speeches that awoke the echoes, his superb and doubtless leadership that kindled enthusiasm the country over, and his power that filled even the darkest hour with hope. We may search in vain the annals of political strife for the equal of the fight he made in Indiana ill the late campaign. In brilliancy, in staunchness, in heroic purpose and achievement, in the inequality of resources, in every point that makes a struggle memorable, it is without parallel. No man could have made'that fight who did not hold the absolute love and confidence of his people, and the man who has this, after thirty years of active and conspicuous service, is worthy of all it implies. In the name of the people of Atlanta, and of the people of Georgia, we bid Mr. Hendricks welcome to the Cracker Citywelcome as the Vice President elect of the administration fiat is to bring the country back i) ways of honesty and peace —but more heartily welcome as the beloved and trusted Democratic leader who has fought the good fight and kept fie faith.

An Air-Flower.— One of the curiosities of the New Orleans Exposition is an. air-flower from the City of Mexico. 11 is two inches long and resembles a beetle with wings and horns. The wings are of light seazreen color, dotted with specks The horns are now white, and at the points very short. The body of the flower is a pale yellow and deep orange, and gives a slight hyacinth perfume. Including the broad, banana-shaped leaves, the entire plant looks as though molded in wax.—Galveston News.

Plain Truth as to Protection.—ls Congress enacts a law which gives a laborer in iron SI more than he could otherwise have earned, it can only do it by taking $1 from a laborer in some other pursuit. If a manufacturer is paid *25 for a suit of clothes under the tariff, which without the tariff could have been bought for Sl3, the man who earned »he £25 and bought the suit is robbed of sl2.

‘Khartoum away!’ howled the editor in a rage, when a hardened individual handed him severs 1 puns on Khartoum ‘C<lrt ’em away! The man who makes puns on such a subject is fit for treason, stratagem and spoils. Khartoum out!’— Norristown Herald.

The Senate and the House.

There is a growing jealousy between the Senate and the House as to their powers, aiu some of these days there wil be serious conflicts in which the House must win. But there is a stronger distrust of the Senate among the people, who are coming to regard it as a selfish club of millionaires, monooolists and corporation lawyers. It is always found on the side of the strong against the weak —of the corporations against the people, and of monopoly against fair trade. It will be treated with political dynamite one of these days when the people get so thoroughly aroused as to set aside immaterial for material questions—Pittsburgh Post, No doubt the debates and movements of the next COll- - will develope the most exciting contentions of a legislative character that have ever been known in Federal affairs. The House is Democratic and is backed by the executive department in its contests for prerogative rights with the Senate, which body as at present constituted is anti-Republican and antiDemocratic. it is controlled by corporation lawyers and millionaires, all under control

of corporations as some kind or another. In a recent test vote on a railroad land grant forfeiture the Senate stood by the railroad corporation by a vote of 32 to 11. The railroads have had their way in the recent Senatorial elections in a way quite charming to them. Among the Senators just elected are Voorhees, Vance and Vest., Democrats, who voted with the eleven above noted against railroad discrimination. On the other hand, the Republicans have elected Evarts in New York, Platt in Connecticut,Cameron in Pennsylvania, Spooner in Wisconsin, Ingalls in Kansas, Jones in Nevada, Teller in Colorado and Stanford in * California, all corporation Senators, and some of them notoriously so, especially Evarts.—Louisville Democrat.

Almost a Native.

‘Are you a native of the State?’ asked the judge of the United States court, addressing a fat man who had been summoned to testify in a case of illicit distilling. ‘Mostly, jedge.’ T mean, weie you bom in this State?’ ‘I understan i. I wa’n’t bom here, but !’m mighty nigh a native.’ Vame here when you were quite young, 1 suppose? ’ ‘No, sir, ain’t been here but about ten years.’ ‘How old are you?’ ‘Fifty.’ ‘Then how is it that you are very nearly a native of the State?’ ‘Well, when I came here i only weighed about a hundred pounds. Now [ weigh 240, so you see 140 of me are native, while only 100 pounds came from Missoury.’ Arkansaw Traveler.

In a speech at Birmingham, England. John Bright referred to the American tariff and stated that it prohibits the farmers of the United States from exchanging the products of their farms with the products of the artisans of Birmingham or with the weavers of Lancashire, but compelled them to exchange with the protected manufacturers of their own eountiy, who. in some cas :s, do not give*half what the farmers could get abroad.

A scientific journal says that the ear of a clam is at the base of the foot. It must be funny to see a clam walk around on its ear listening for earth quakes. ‘Stonewall’ Jackson’s war horse ha fJ been sent to the New Orleans Exposition. v .

NUMBER 4.

Senatorial Soap-Eating.

Krtn>a-i lily Twin >< Not long ago Garland hit Butler p.ietty hard That is to say, he got a very good'one on him, and Butler laid for the C'e nat o r from Arkansas. — Knowing Garland’s fondness for candy, he procured some caramels and also borne cubes of brow n soap, which, when wrapped in their tissue paper precisely resembled to the eye the carameis. Butler knew that if he tried to put the cubes of soap off on Garland he wo’d fail, as the latter was, of course on the alert, so far as he was concerned. So Voorhees, of Indiana, who sits next to Garland, was chosen for the confederate. Said Butler to Voorhees: ‘Here are two genuine caramels. These others are cubes of soap, eat the genuine caramels, put your trust in Providence, and say nothing.’ Voorhees did as he was told. Garland observed the cubes on the desk, and saw that Voorhees was eating something with an evident relish. ‘Hello,’said Garland. ‘What

are you eating?’ ‘l’ ve got a cold and I’m eating some candy,’ replied Voorhees, very much absorbed in some papers in his hand. Garland looked at the counterfeits wistfully for a moment. ‘Hum/ he said fiually, as he picked one up. ‘l’ve got something of a cold myself,’ and he popped the piece of soap in his mouth. There was a crunching of his jaws, and he saw he was caught. Voorhees watched him out of the tail of his eye, as did a dozen others of the old boys sitting around. Garland knew he was under ffre, and he determined not to flinch. After chewing his soap for a moment he looked up at Voorhees with the inimitable air of innocent earnestness that is characteristic of him, and softly asked: ‘Do you eat many of these things when you have a cold?’ And Garland kept on chewing, an almost imperceptible strip of lather formed on his lips. Voorhees became alarmed and went to Butler. ‘That fellow is actually eating that stuff. Why, it will kill him, won’t it?’ ‘No-o-o-o/ drawlea Butler. ‘I don’t reckon anything will kill that man.’ . Garland was game. He finished his soap, and no man could say he looked as if he didn’t enjoy it.

A Kentucky Husband.

‘Bee here, Mr. Man, I hear that you are flirting with my wife, and if you don’t stop it I’ll break your neck.’ ‘Flirting with your wife!— I’m neither flirting with her nor want to do so. i don’t like her well enough for that.’ ‘You don’t. I’d like to know why you don’t? She’s just as nice a woman as there is in town, and I don’t want you to be tellin’ me that she hain’t good enough for you to like.— You’ve got to like her just as well as any other woman, or I’ll know why, and dou’t you forget it.’ The angry .husband then walked away swearing vengeance because Mr. Man didn’t like his wife. Some men can t be pleased any way.

Senator McPherson recently expressed dissent from the idea that railroad companies should run the railways and the Government too! That’s a sentiment that will be sounded out as loud as April thunder be fore long.
