ALBERT WINTER, Bun. Jinn
Sounding the Alarm-
The Augusta Chronicle, oi.e of the
ablest and most conservative journals
in the country, speaking of the force
bill passed by the house, says:
In view ot this impending calamity
to the south, thinking men in the
democratic party in every state should
prepare the people for this new politi
cal crusade. It means another recon
struction of the south. The horrors of
that period are too fresh in the memory
ot the people to be forgotten.
This is no time for division and
estrangement between democrats,
The demagogues and the office-seekeis
who are sowing the seeds of discord in
the party about the sub-treasury hum
bug should desist. We need the
strength of unity to fight the common
political enemy. The honest, conser
vative and thinking people ot the
south, the farmers of the land, should
no longer seek undemocratic tests of
their public servants. They should
combine to fight the republican party,
which threatens by the unbridled
license of despotic power to take away
from them the sacred right of electing
their own representatives to congress.
With congress and the administra
tion of the laws in the hands of the
republican parly, it will require all the
wisdom, virtue and courage of the
south to preserve the right ot local
self-government. This cannot be done
unless the supremacy of the democra
tic party is maintained.
Our Money.
We take the following interesting
statistics of the currency of the country
from the Morning News:
Over $2,009,000 in coin and paper,
or over $30 each for every person in
the land, is in circulation at present.
More than one-third of it, in gold and
silver, is in the vaults of the treasury at
Washington. Ot the total com in cir
culation about two-thirds is gold and
one-third silver, of the paper about
one-third greenbacks,one fourth silver
certificates, one-sixth gold certificates,
one-fifth in the notes of the national
banks, and the remainder in various
other forms. There is more gold in
circulation than any kind of paper
money, but only one fourth as much
gold as there is of all kinds of paper
together. Of the paper in circulation
the greenback leads, silver certificates
and national bank notes come next,
and gold certificates last. The money
ot the country is an immense sum,
yet it is not more than the combined
wealth of 200 of the richest men of
the country.
The passage of the silver bill will
add a large volume to the currency of
the country. This will, to an extent,
relieve the pressure, and supply the
farmers and the marts of trade with
more money.
Canting Hypocrites.
The north is continually charging that
the negroes of the south are trodden
down by the whites, deprived of privi
leges and otherwise hampered in the
race of life. We call the -attention of
our northern critics to the progress and
condition of the colored race, as shown
by the census of 1880. Here are the
official, figures:
In Alabama the negroes own $9-
200,125 i * n Arkansas $8,010,315 ; in
Florida $7,900,040; in Georgia 810,•
4 1 5>33° ‘> I-ouisiana $18,100,528;
Kentucky, $5,600,000; Mississippi,
$13,400,213; Slaryland, $8,900,755;
North Carolina, $11,010,652; South
Carolina, $12,500,000; Texas, $18,-
010,545; Tennessee, $10,400,210;
Virginia, 4,900,000 ; West Virginia,
$5,006,721, The amount of property
owned in the United States by
churches 13 valued at $16,310,441,
and the total amount of property in
the United States owned by colored
persons is more than $263,000,000,
over half of which is held in the south
ern states.
The census of 1890, will no doubt
show a big increaic over these statis
tics. The colored race is more pros
perous at the south than anywhere
else,

Matters and Tilings in New York.
. Nr.w York, July 5th, 1890.
Editor Times-E.m eiii'Use :
It is generally conceded that the
negro belongs to an inferior race; but
are there not exceptions to all rules ?
A colored man takes the valedictory
at Harvard, the proudest college in
the country. And we have in this
city a colored boy who owns $30,000
in real estate; and is paid a yearly
salary of $10,000 ! And what do you
suppose he does to earn such a salary ?
Nothing in the world but riding Mr.
Higgin’s horses at horse races! He
rides only for Mr. Higgin. In one
race—the suburban—he won $40,000
tor his employer, by iid : ng Salvator to
victory. A lew days after this event,
Mr. Pulsifer, ot California, challenged
Mr. Higgin for a match race between
Salvator andTenny, for $5,000 a side;
and the proprietors of the course add
ed $5,000 more, making $15,000 in
all. This sum Salva’or also won, with
Murphy the colored rider.
l’ool selling op. races in this state
is confined by law to the track and
the day of the race. This shuts up a
host of shops in this city where clerks
and young people could step in and
risk small sums and thus acquire a
passion for gambling.
From 5,000 to 10,000 people attend
these races every day, and of those
who bet, nine out of ten come home
losers. Fifty book-makers pay 8too
a day for the privilege of book-making
or offering odds on the races. This
large amount comes out of th'e pockets
of those who bet. This whole busi
ness is most demoralizing, and ought
to be put an end to by law.
Our city is fast thinning out now,
the people—or those who have means
going off to mountain and seaside
resorts. Most o! the theatres are
closed for the season. In the recently
opened Madison Square Garden we
have Edward Strauss, with his famous
European Orchestra and Pallet. This
house will seat 10,000 people, with
room for 5,000 more. At the Madi-'
son Square Theatre Mr. Richard
Mansfield is attracting overflowing
houses by his performance of Beau
Brummcl. No finer theatrical per
formance was ever witnessed in New
York. The story of the play itself
does not amount to much, but it is
the feelings and emotions excited by
the acting of Mr. Mansfield; the bril
liant career ot Beau Brummcl, his mis-
tortuncs and gradual decay and down
fall. There arc touches of humor and
wit here and there; and then the tears
well up in all eyes. Mr. Mansfield
never ‘'o’er steps the modesty of
nature.’’ He speaks and acts as if
there was no audience before him. It
is recorded that a countryman went
once to see Garrick in the play ot
Hamlet, and when asked, at the
close, which of the characters was
acted the best, replied “the king."
“No,” said his friend, “we think
Unralet was the best. Don’t you re
member how lie acted when the ghost
came in?” “Oh!” said the country
man, “that was no acting at all; I
should have done just so myself if I
hadjseen a ghost!” G. Q, C.
A Word to the Wise.
Gentlemen whose wives are out of
town should carefully inspect the
“personal” columns ot newspapers
they send to their better halves, The
Washington Star recently contained a
“personal” stating that a gentleman
whose wife was away for the summer
wished to meet a discreet, lively young
lady to accompany him to places of
amusement. The result was a sudden
return of at least five Washington
ladies whose husbands had been left
behind.
When it is considered that the 211
electric railways in the United States,
a list of which appeared in our local
column yesterday, have uenrly all been
built within the last few years, an idea
may be gathered of the progress made
in the use of electricity as a motor.
The electric motor is rapidly taking
the place of horse power on street rail
ways in all progressive cities.—News.
Georgia is a great state. -A spring
has been discovered in Taliferro coun
ty, the waters of which is said to cure
sea sickness. It is being tested on
some of the ocean steamships.
