Senator Sherman’s Position.
Chicago, Feb. 13.—A Columbus,
Ohio, dispatch says: “Senator Sher
man, who is in (he city, on hearing
that Mr. Blaine would not allow bis
name to be used before the Chicago
convention, says he had been expect
ing some such utterance from Mr.
Blaine foT some time. He undeT-
it would be forthcoming. Mr.
ie was one of the foremost Ameri
cans whom the Republicans would
be delighted to honor. Senator
Sherman did not care to talk much
about Mr. Blaine’s letter, and thought
it would cause a number of other
candidates to come to the front. He
proposed to make the race for the
Ohio delegation and would contest
honorably for the nomination. Mr.
Blaine was a Republican who could
sweep the country if nominated, but
he had understood all along that he
would not again seek the nomination.
It was on this hypothesis that he
(Sherman) had entered the lists.”
Would “sweep the country” is
good. But John evidently thinks
that a new broom would do good
sweeping. Cleveland will be given
the job of “sweeping the country’
this fall.
It is now thought that four new
States will be admitted by congress.
The number of stars are growing on
the flag ot the free.
John Sherman believes Blaine
means it when saying he will not be
a candidate for president. John has
not said he, Sherman, is not in
race; not much.

The recent estimates of our popula

Washington, Feb. 13.—The New
England excursionists, who left Hart
ford, Feb. 4, for a tour of the boonring
Southern cities with Decatur, Ala.,
as their objective point, reached this
city at 12:40 o’clock last night on
their return. The party numbers for
ty prominent manufacturers, mer
chants and journalists, and are under
charge of U. T. Sperry, editor of the
Harttord Post, which has taken the
New England agency for Decatur, and
will send other parties South during
the ytfar. Mr. Sperry says the party
has already made large investment
at Decatur, and the trips will result in
the establishment of many New Eng
land manufacturers there and in oth
er places. The investors, he adds,
have satisfied themselves by personal
investigation that the statements
about the great industrial promises
ol the new South have not been ex
aggerated.

Mayor Lester, of Savannah, sent
the following telegram to the presi
dent, yesterday:
Savannah, Feb. r4, 1888.
His Excellency Grover Cleveland,
President United States, Washing
ton, D. C.:
The City of Savannah, in behalf of
our citizens renews,their invitation ex
tended you in August last to visit
Savannah, and supplements the re
quest of the Jasper Monument Asso
ciation, that you be present on the
22nd of February, on the occasion of
the unveiling of the statute to be er
ected in memory of a patriot of the
American revolution, the heroic
Sergt. Jasper.
Rufus E. Lester, Mayor.
The South will welcome Mr. Cleve
land and his charming wife with open

destiny will be made at home in

Ipfe total risible supply in the United j
States, Europe, and at sea to-dav, is only
2,969,628 bales, against 3,263,587’last year,
nd 3,015,990 in 1886.
The stock of cotton held by European
Dills on the first of this month was estimat
ed at 805,000 bales, against 431,000last year,
but the surplus is ali in Russia, where it is
irtually swallowed np, as none of it will
rer come upon the real European markets,
ither in the shape of cotton or goods. On
the 1st February, American mills also held
some surplus as compared with their small
stocks of last year, bnt according to the
most reliable estimates would still nave to
bur at least 750,000 bales.
Should there be an American crop of
6,800,000 to draw from, it ia estimated that
imports into Europe from 1st February to

almost due East and West. On the
South side the officers quarters are
arranged on the longer line, and
the North side the Barracks ior the
enlisted men are arranged to cor
respond the ‘stoops’ facing the general
parade, which lies between the two
long lines. At the East end is the
hospital and chapel, and at the West
end is the Post Trader’s store. The
Post Trader is an important factor in
the life of a garrison, as you can
readily imagine. We do not have as
cold weather here as they do in Da
kota, though it is cold enough. For
21 days in January the tempi ature
averaged about 12 degrees below
zero, and at one time it went down
as low as 40 degrees below. This
was tollowed up closely by a
“chmook” which lasted for over a
week. A “chmook” is a warm wind
from the Southwest, which has its
greatest developement on the Pacific
coast deluging the country in a few
hours by rapidly thawing the snow.
The effect is not so great here, though
in the course of the week during
which it lasted, the creeks and rivers
were so swollen that they destroyed
the rail road bridges built last fall.
We have had a snow storm which
has lasted over 48 hours and has not
stopped snowing yet. I see from the
Times that Thomasville is progress
ing finely, and I like to see it, and I
think that it is largely due to the
constant, energetic efforts of the
editor of the Times, if you will allow
to say so. I look back with
much pleasure to the many happy
hours that I have spent within its
limits, and I always read the Times
thoroughly, so that none of the home
news escapes me.
Very truly yours,

Mr.

must have been going for the Flori

the suppression of newspapers going
through the mails, containing lottery
advertisements. Mr. Dougherty
said:
If Congress could establish a cen
sorship of the press which would
prevent reporters lying about public
men and private individuals, he. for
one, would certainly vote to do so,
because he had never seen anything
so offensive to the sense of public
morality in any lottery advertisement
as he had seen in the expressed opin
ion of newspaper reporters published
as facts. If Congress could pass a
bill which would require editors and
reporters to confine themselves to
the statement of facts, instead of
publishing their individual opinions
as facts, it would redound to the good
and welfare of all people.

Fisheries Commissioners at 7 o’clock
to-night completed their labors and
signed a treaty which it is believed
will result in a satisfactory settlement
of the disputes that have existed for
almost a century between this govern
ment -and Great Britain over the
North Atlantic fisheries. The treaty
is signed by all six of the Commis
sioners, and is said to have their full
concurrence. It will be sent to the
President to-morrow for transmittal
to the Senate. Before the treaty can
take effect it must have the ratifica
tion of the Queen of Great Britain,
the dominion of Canada, the province
of New Foundland, as well as of the
United States Senate.

The rains that have been falling
this part of the country have been ;
gentle mists, but more like old Nep
tune had broken loose and turned his
forces upon the land. But we sup
pose it is all for the best, as the earth
will absorb a great deal of the water
that has fallen, and hold it in reserve
to supply the needs of the crops and
vegetation generally, when the rain:
become less plenteous, and the weath
er warmer. So if we do our part, na
ture will do hers.
The farmers have been delayed
somewhat in their operations by the
excessive rains, but have taken advan
tage of it by burning the woods,
thereby preventing danger from fires
when the weather becomes dry,
very good precaution.
To-day is St. Valentine’s day. The
