Proctor’s Last Essays.
A series of popular scientific articles, by
the late Prof. Richard A. Proctor, the emi
nent astronomer and author, will appear in
the Morning News on the dates announced
below.
The article in this senes upon “Plagues
and Pestilence” was received only the week
before the author’s death, and was written
apropos of the yellow fever in Florida.
Indeed, the whole series is Prof. Proctor’s
last popular scientific work for newspaper
publication.
They are expected to attract great atten
tion throughout the whole country, and will
prove a valuable addition to scientific lore
wiiich no one can well afford to lose. They
were obtainable by the Morning News
only on account of its prominence in the
world of journalism, and have an especial
interest for the newspaper readers of the
southeast.
The* articles, six in number, are upon
the following topics:
1. For September 23.
Plague and Pestilence.
2. For September 30.
Learning the Stars.
3. For October 7.
Our Two Brains.
4. For October 14.
Famous Comets.
6. For October 21.

The esteemed republicans are gradually
coming round to the view that it is of no
consequence, anyhow, how the Maine elec
tion went.
It is said that eight-tenths of the news
papers of the country are for Cleveland
aud Thurman. If this is true, it means that
the democratic ticket will be elected by a
big majority.
Emmons Blaine sav s his father, the Un
crowned King, is greatly pleased with the
re ult of the Maine election. Evidently the
young man has not seen his father since
the official returns oaiue iu.
Many of the republican sheets are now
printing solemn and jwnderous articles on
"The Folly of Election Bets.” The election
bets, it will lie observed, are now about two
to one in favor of the democrats.

A Game of Bluster.
According to statements made by the
j New York 1 ribvne, there is a stampede of
democrats in that state from Mr. Cleveland
to Gen. Harrison. There vas never before
anything like it, if the T> ibune is to be be
lieved. “The defection,” says tint organ*
“exte. ds from House’> Point to Buffalo,
j and from Lake Erie to the sea. It is much
| greater, or more pronounced, in some places
than in others, but there isscareely a village
or township where", if there is not open re
volt of the ablest men in the pirty, there is
uumistaKuble evidence of an intense dissat
isfaction, which is likely to prove as disas
trous to the democratic ticket in November
as the more outspoken opposition.”
Perhaps it was natural for the Tribune to
doubt if the people could be gulled by these
statements. That journal is not noted for
strict adherence to facts during presidential
campaigns, aud, nobody knowing this bet
ter than the journal itself, it hit upon a
plan to “substantiate” its position. A re
porter was said to have been sent through
out the state to gather “facts.” He was
fully instructed, of course, before he left as
to the kind of “facts” wanted, aud he
seems to have understood his busi-
ness, for when lie returned, he
spread before the readers of that
sheet, in quite a number of glaringly head
lined columns, a “substantiation” as com
plete as the public or the Tribune expected.
If the substantiation did not substantiate,
it was not the fault of the reporter, but
rather because the “stampede” had uo ex
istence out-ide of the Tribune office. But
the reporter did the best he could under the
circumstances. It is true he omitted the
names of the voters engaged in the stampede,
for, as the Tribune innocently remarks,
“every sensible man knows that if tnere is
anything especially difficult for a news
paper to do, it is to name persons who have
left one party for another.” It might have
added that this i particularly difficult
when there are remarkably few names
of persons to be bad who have deserted Mr.
Cleveland for Gen. Harrison. This being
the case, the reporter fell back on glitter
ing generalities and idle boasts, as he had
been instructed to do, but his report was
well worth reading as an illustrati m of a
lengthy article based on instructions. In
that fine it was really a work of art.
Of course the Tribune is mistaken when
it says there is a stauipele of democrats to
Gen. Harrison in New York. Even people
outside of that state know better than that.
There is no democratic defecti n worth
mentioning. The Democratic party of New
York was never, perhaps, so thoroughly
united in the support of any man as it is in
the support of Mr. Cleveland. In New
York city, every democratic faction is sup
porting him enthusiastically, the business
men will surprise the country by their in
creased vote for him, and the prospects for
an unusually large majority there, as well
as in Brooklyn, are excellent. It is prob
ably to stem the tide to the democracy that
the Tribune prints so many columns of
bluster, but it wifi take something more
than bluster to stern it. In fact, there
seems to bo no way for the republicans to
accomplish that end.
Don’t Fail to Vote.
About the only prominent republicans in
the south are those who run for office. Very
few of them stand any chance whatever of
being elected, but their nomination brings
them into prominence in their party, and
places their names on the slate for federal
offices ii case the “grand old party” should
return to power. There are not many
white republicans in this latitude, but some
of the colored republicans seem to have
learned the ropes, so to speak, aud propose
to make themselves solid with the appoint
ing power, in the event already named. At
the same time, they stand ready to reap the
benefit of indifference among the democrats,
and to slip into local offices should the demo
crats fail to vote on account of over-conli
dence, or of personal dislike of any par
ticular candidate.
In this county the republicans have a
ticket in the field, aud hope, through the
apathy of the democrats, to elect at least
one candidate composing it. The demo
crats should not be caught mu-ping. Every
democrat, who is qualified to vote, should
go to the polls next Weduesday and deposit
his ballot for F. G. dußignon for the Senate
and for Messrs. Gordon, Reilly and Clifton
for the House.
A Divided South.
If the “solid south” should ever be split,
tbo country would witness a state of affairs
in this section that would can e honest
Americans to hang their heads iu sLiunie.
A divided south means for generations, if
not forever, a mongrel government made
up of the worst elements of both races,
bankrupt states and a beggared people.
What was experienced twenty years ago
would seem a pleasant remembrance com
pared with what would be experienced if
the south should become divided.
If there are democrats who are disposed
to hunt up excuses for breaking away from
party ranks, it would be well for them to
consider that party affiliation in the south
meaus a great deal more than party
supremacy. It is vital to the social and
business interests of the people that no false
issues be raised to lead democrats astray.
The Wall Street Sews says: “For the
first time in many months merchants are
borrowing large sums of money. Discouuts
are quoted at 0to6) j per cent., and a con
siderable quantity of good paper is coming
on the market. This is a good sign, or at
least it so regarded by loading authorities.
It shows that trado is reviving, and that
the fears that the presidential campaign is
going to interfere with general prosperity
are not well founded.” Hasn’t the confi
dence in Mr. Cleveland’s re-election got
something to do with it f

THE MORNING NEWS: SUNDAY. SEPTEMBER 30. 1888.
Automatic Slot Machines.
“Drop a nickel in the slot ad learn your
weight.” Bo reads the inscription on a
large number of sea’os in public places; and
ever since the device was made known, peo
ple have drawn upon their ingenuity in the
attempt to cheat tue machine. The state
ment that the machine is not to be cheated
has not prevented them from making the
attempt, and no doubt in some instances the
ingenuity of the inventor has been outdone
by that of the person on the platform of
the scales.
“Drop a dime into the slot and get a pair
of good opera glasses,” is the inscription
that will soon appear on boxes placed on
the backs of chairs in a number of opera
houses in this country. The automatic slot
business, it will be seen, is extending. It
probably was found to be a source of reve
nue ns applied t.> scales, and money is what
people are after these days.
It’s all right. There is no call for a hotel
proprietor to keep a pair of fine scales for
his guests to be weighed on gratis nor is
the manager of an ojiera hou r expected to
furnish ttie freo use of opera glasses for
people who attend theaters.
But when it comes to dropping a nickel
in the slot and getting a hymn book, then
dropping another one in another slot and
getting a prayer book—why, that’s carry
ing the automatic slot mi chine business a
little too far, isn’t it# Every person who
attends church should be provided with a
hymn book—not necessarily in order that
he may sing, for perhaps he is uot acquainted
with the songs, or would prefer to hear
others sing; but as an act of courtesy,
and as a matter of right. Aud
he should he provided with it
free of cost. Likewise, if he attends a
church where prayer books are used, he
should be furnished free of cost with a
prayer book, if he is furnished with one at
all. The Philadelphia man who has invented
a slot machine for giving up hymn and
prayer books at a nickel each wifi probably
fail to become wealtny' as the result of his
invention. Regular attendants upon church
services can have their own books if they
wi-h, and strangers and irregular attend
ants should be provided with them without
having to pay.
Extending American Trade.
Col. Charlton H. Way, the American
consul general at St. Petersburg, thinks
that there is an opening in Russia for
American goods, of which the people of
that country have a very high opinion, and
that if Americans of business training were
sent ’ there with samples of American
products, a large trade could be built up. He
says in his official report that the Russians
are slow to adopt changes, and therefore
they demand ocular demonstration of the
superiority of articles sought to bo intro
duced there. “But,” says ho, “if several
American houses engaged with different
lines of goods were to combine and send
some energetic, pushing representative to
open a store or warehouse in Moscow, Riga,
or at any other center of trade, at the same
time suoplyiug him with samples of their
product, the cost to either of them would
not be very great, aud the trade which
would flow from such an experi
ment would surprise the originators
of the enterprise. There are vast prob
abilities for the extension and development
of American trade with Russia. There is
no other country so sure of yielding a rich
harvest to the American exporters.” He
also expresses the opinion that it is folly to
flood Russia with circulars and catalogues,
as they go into the waste basket as soon ns
they are received. It is equally useless to
establish agencies there amo g Russian
merchants, no matter how able or honest
the merchants may- be. The enterprising
American is required to bo on the spot, and
he must be armed with samples.
This is one of the many interesting pieces
of information contained in Col. Way’s re
port. It is not improbable that the hint
will be taken by Americans, who are uot
behind any people in the world in adopting
means of advancing their interests, and
who have the energy and brains to carry
out what they' undertake.
The National Farmers’ Alliance will meet
in Meridian, Miss., in a few and ivs. and will
give its attention to the bagging trust. The
following resolution, passed by tiie Georgia,
Alabama and South Carolina Alliances,
will be considered; “ Resolved , That we will
uot use the jute bagging to wrap our pres
ent cotton crop, but will make use of any
material for wrapping purpo-es that will
lie received by cotton purchasers and
handlers, and that we will use such substi
tutes, even though it should entail a loss
upou us, provided that the foregoing shall
not hinder any brother farmer fri m using
the jute bagging he m y now have on
hand.” The decision with regard to this
matter will be awaited with great inter
est.
Mr. D. E. Culver, of New York, a life
long republican, is go ng to vote for Mr.
Cleveland. Says he; “I think Mr. Cleve
land has shown himself to be a bold, honest
and good man since lie has been President,
and has acted up to his convictions of right
and duty. The whole administration lias
been honest, respectable aud clean, and I
believe it is against the business interests of
the country to make a change.” Such senti
ments find an echo among a great many
business men in New York.
Gov. Hill of New York has not entered
upon his stumping tour in New York with
the notion that it is child's play. He has
stumped enough to know that it is hard
work, and that it requires that a man shall
be always on the alert. There is no better
worker in tbo i-tate than Gov. Hill, and his
efforts will be seen in the result of tho elec
tion. The bookmakers, as was stated in our
dispatches yesterday, have confidence in the
sort of work he is doing.
To Senator Chandler: Please take notice
that a republican in Florida threatens to
burn down tho property of a democrat be
cause he (tho democrat) refuses to boa party
to a fraud by which the republicans in that
state would lie the gainers. When making
your next bloody shirt speech, incorporate
the above in it. Republican bulldozing and
intimidation in the south must be stopped.
Col. Limont, the Presideut’s private
secretary, arrived in New York the other

the newspapers of that city are saying, as
they always do, that his mission is of a
political character. Of course Col.
Lament wont to New York to do some
shopping for his wife.
Gen. Harrison, it is said, has been stimu
lated by Mr. Cleveland's example iu giving
SIO,OOO to the democratic camp sign fund,
and bus sent his check for $750 to Chairman
Quay. The difference between the amounts
of the two checks Indicates that Gen. Har
rison is not aa confident of success as Mr.
Cleveland.
CURRENT COMMENT.
Igrnorance.
From the Cincinnati Enouirer (Dcm.)
A story is running round to the effect that all
the white men have run away from Florida, and
that the remaining colored voters will carry the
state for Harrison, its originators do not seem
to know that most of the colored citizens in the
south now vote the democratic ticket.
Usual Result Ahead.
From the Sew York World (Defn.)
The Tribune is engaged ia the easy work of
carrying New York tor Harrison—on paper, in
advance of the election. It has performed this
foat regularly for the past six years, but when
the votes were counted it was round every time
that the democrats were ahead. New York is a
democratic state.
Is Ho Breaking Down?
From the Sew York Star (Dew.)
Since Mr. Blaiue's return from Europe he has
made a number of campaign speeches, but be
yond putting the republicans iu a hole by de
fending trusts and decreasing somewhat their
majority in Maine, he has accomplished noth
ing that could not have been carried out by
Mr. John Smith of New York, or any other
ordinary campaign shaker.
Don© Gone and Said It.
From the New York Times Had.)
The majority in the Senate has adjourned
that body until Monday, and in the meantime
Mr. Edmunds has been called in to help the
finance committee with the new tariff bill. It
smack* of blasphemy to intimate that Senator
Edmunds can lack information on any subject,
but we may be permitted to say that if he knows
anything about the t iriff he has acquired his
knowledge very recently.

The swiftest bird on the wing is the frigate
bird, a sort of nautical bird of prey. Sailors
believe that it can start with the peep of dawn
from the coast of Africa, and, following the

sunset. It can undoubtedly fly more than SCO
miles an hour, but we do not know of any trust
worthy record of the speed of which it is capa
ble.

Summer Is Going.
Summer is fading; the broad leaves that grew
So freshly green when June was young, arc
falling;
And all the whisper-haunted forest through
The restless birds In saddened tones an- calling,
From rustling haxle copse nud tangled dell,
•’Farewell, sweet summer.
Fragrant, fruity summer,
Sweet farewell.”
Upon the windy bill in many a field.
The honey-liees hum slow above the clover,
Gleaniug the latest sweets its bloom can yield,
And knowing that their harvest time is over,
Sing half a lullaby and half a knelt,
••Farewell, sweet summer.
Honey laden summer,
Sweet farewell."
The little brook that bubbles 'mid the ferns,
O'er twisted roots and samly shallows playing,
Seems lain to Unger In Its addled turns.
And with a plaintive, purring vole*is saying,
Sadder and sweeter than my song cau tell,
"Farewell, sweet summer,
Warm and dreamy summer,
Sweet farewell,"
The fitful breeze sweeps down the winding lane,
With gold and crimsoa leaves beforp It flying:
Its gustv laughier bos oo sign of pain.
But in the lulls it sinks in gentle sighing
And mourns the summer's early brokeu spell.
“Farewell, sweet summer.
Rosy, blooming smfimer,
Sweet Farewell.''
Bo bird and bee and brook and breeze make
moan.
With melancholy song their lots complaining;
I, too, must join them, ns I walk alone
Among the sights ana sounds of summer's
waning;
I, too, have loved the season passing well—
”8o, farewell, summer,
Fair but faded summer.
Sweat farewell."
