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, ^ ■•» m The silver bill passed the Senate yesterday. 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.
