The St. Louis Globe-Democrat
says that were Judas Iscariot the

he would be elected governor. This
is probably true, aud the democrats
would lie entirely justified in electing

dangerous of two scoundrels.—Tele

Down on Cotton Futures.
The United States Supreme court
has finally declared future contracts
in cotton illegal. In this case a plea
of “wager” was set up, the defendant
declaring the contract was made by
patting up a margin, mid that it did
not involve the purchase or delivery
of actual cotton. Tho court held that
it was understood that any settlement
in respect to such purchases should be
exclusively upon the basis of one
party paying to the other only “llic
difference between the contract price
and the market ptice of said cotton
futures.” The court, in rendering its
decision, say:
“If this lie not a wagering contract,
under tho guise of a contract of sale,
it would she difficult to imagine one
that would be of that character. The
mere form of the transaction is of lit
tle consequence. If it were, the stat
ute against wagers could easily be
evaded.”—Chronicle.
The Confederate Reunions.
July is the battle month.
It was n blazing, gunpowdery,
thunderous month to the dwellers be
tween the Potomac aud the Rio
Grande, a quarter of a century or so
ago.
The confederate veterans seem to
think it the best month in the year
for their reunions, and they are mak
ing the most of it. hi every state,
from Virginia to Texas, the men who
wore (lie gray are meeting in compa
nies, regiments, brigades and <1 ivis
tons, renewing the comradeship of the
camp, and fighting their battles over
again in a reminiscent way.
It is a pleasant sight to sec—pleas
ant even to the old time foemen on
the other side of the line, as some of
them who have made a manful charge
upon the confederate barbecues will
heartily testify.
One tiling strikes all the visitors at
these reunions—the youth and vital
ity of our veterans. Many of them
are barelv on the edge of forty. They
were schoolboys when they rode with
Forrest or marched with* Hood, and
art; still young men. The older ones,
too, are alert and full of energy.
It is impossible to look around upon
these men without recognizing the
fact that they are still at the front—
they arc in the van of Southern prog
ress—building our cities and railroads
—pushing our great enterprises.
They arc no laggards when there is
work to do, and their clear heads arc
busy in our councils.
These war-worn veterans—God
bless them! —arc the flower of the
new south, just as they were the flow
er of the old south. The men who
were the best soldiers are our best
citizens. The men who were the most
daring in winning the victories of fhe
war arc the most enterprising in win
ning the victories of peace. The old
confederates will do to count on at all
times and under all circumstances.—

LATEST TELEGRAPHIC NEWS-
Alliance Men on Their Mettle.
Raleigh, X. C\, July JO.—Colonel Polk,
state secretary of the farmers alliance, to
day received a telepram from the business
apent of the Louisiana Farmers’ Union,
which stated that to-day the New Orleans
mills made the first shipment of odeiihelm-
er cotton happing. This is made o cotton,
and is forty-four inches wide. The mills
will run day and night to meet the pressing
demands.
A telepram was also received from Texas,
hv Colonel Folk, which stated that
farmers of one of the largest counties
Texas, have held a mass meeting, and dec
that they would on no account use bagging
made by the trust, hut would pen their
cotton in the’ fields until they can obtaii
cotton bagging. Colonel Folk says till
fully illustrates the deterir ination of the
southern farmers in regarl to the bagging
question.
That’s the way to talk. It is to he
hoped that every planter in the South
will set down on the infamous bag
ging trust.

Columbus, July .10.—Mr, John L
Cowan, of the surveying corps of the
Alabama, Georgia and Florida rail
road, arrived in the city this morning
from Quincy, having completed the
survey of the proposed road from
Richmond to that city on Saturday
lost.
The other survey is from Tallahas
see to Dawson, llic latter town aud
Iiichlaiul being on the line of the
Columbus Southern. The distance
from Columbus to Quincy is about
154 miles, and though no.decision ns
to which route will lie taken lias as
yet been arrived at, I am inclined to
think the Richlnnd-Quiuey route will
lie selected. The country through
which this survey passes is riclt aud
very productive. Tho new road will
tap the Florida, Central and Benin
sular by either way.
Maj. W. 8. Green, chief engineer,

Kilrain Ready to go Back.
Bai.timobe, July 30.—Friends of
Jake Kilrain, the prize fighter, met
Detective John T. Norris r.t an up
town hotel this afternoon and assur
ed hi in that Kilrain would himself go
to Mississippi and give himself up if
lie were indicted by the grand jury
of Marion county, Miss.
This assurauce satisfied Norris, and
he left for the South to-night.
It is knowii now that Gov. Jackson
would not issue a warrant for Kil-
rain's arrest without au indictment
brought' by the grand jury against
Kilrain. When that is done the
governor will no longer hesitate.

wick is up in arms to-day and would
like to get hold of those who started
rumors that yellow fever exists in the
city. The telegram of the Morning
News, addressed to its correspondent,
inquiring for the facts was something
of a surprise. The correspondent
immediately sought for the officials,
aud asked for an official statement in
regard to the matter. In reply they
adddressed the following:
Itni ssivu-K, <;.i., July at, Isstl.—The ru
mor tlmt yellow lever exists here is without
foundation and is absolutely false. There
is no ground at all for the report.

The News correspondent then in
terviewed J. L. I’oscy, M. I)., of the
marine hospital service, who was
ordered here to investigate the ru
mors. He was not at liberty to givo
to the public the result of his investi
gation lteforc it had been forwartlcd
to Washington, lmt enough was learn
ed from him warrant the statement
that his report will declare the ru
mors to be false, and also that he litis
found lmt a few cases of sickness in
Bruuswick, and those arc of a mild
type. He will say further that sick
ness is more oil the decrease boro then
otherwise. Much indignation is felt
at the action of the Savannah aufhqri-
ties in refusing to allow the David
Clark to bring passengers and bag
gage to that city from Biunswick,
without having first gained some
reliable information relative to tbe
health of Brunswick. ’
To Assess a Railroad.
Atlanta, July 31.—[Special dis
patch to Macon Telegraph.]—The
compfollcr-general is not satisfied with
the tax returns made by the Savannah,
Florida & Western railroad. The re
turns made by them were so low that
the comptroller ca led the attention of
the officers of the road'to it, but no
satisfactory correction has been made.
The comptroller decided to day that
the properly would have to be assess
ed by the state, and requested the
governor to appoint a board of asses-
ors.
A minister and a wealthy member
of his congregation were walking
along the beach admiring the shells
that had been cast up by the sea.
“Can you tell me,’’ said the minis
ter, “why this ocean is unlike—very
unlike—my congregation ?”
“I couldn’t toll ; no sir. I am dis
posed to look upon conundrums
fiivolous.”
“Sometimes they are, hut this one
isn’t. It is based on a sad, solid
fact.”
“Well, I give it up, anyhow.”
“It’s because the sea shells out.”
And tiic wealthy member was
wrapped in thought for several min
utes.
