That Stiver-Question..
The Augu-tniCHroiiicIo sa> s:
- "Touchingupon the qttyauon ofibe
dem6ncrtiz4imn,ofijilver, and the par
poses of the administration with ref-
ercuce to the silver coinage, the ful
' lowing extract irom Representative
Wilson’s - speech will he of interest.
Sp. \. it He is the chosen representative of the
administration, and the leader of the
i^ouse. In'inakiug the dosing argu
ment for the Wilson repeal bill he
said: *
“Oent’eaicn had said that if we
would atop now the purchase of stiver
under the Shtrman.act vet would de
monetize silver. The bill proposed
here would not demonetize ft single
silve/dollar- to day circulating in any
part of the country. The bill hsd
come not to destroy, but to save. It
had conic, not to strike down silver,
but to place it at once and forever, on
an impregnable baste with gold, in
the circulation ol the country,
“Mr. McMUlin inquired whether
the gentleman proposed to follow this
bill up with a propoei.ion for free
coinage.
“Mr. Wilson rejoined that he
satisfied that it was the earnest de
sire of the Democratic administration
not only to support the existing silver
circulation of this country, but to in
crease the issue of silver currency to
the utmost extent it was safe to do so,
and keep silver on a parity with gold.”
Mr. Wi : sou iaTrly and clearly out
lines the policy and 'purpose of the
democratic party in the above. No
body wants to demonetize silver.
It is childish to make such charges.
Silver is here and here to stay. Urn
der democratic rule and law every
silver dollar wid bo worth one hun
dred cents. This is what the people
want, and it is what they will get
untjer Mr. Cleveland's administration,
There has probably been more mis
leading statesmeate made about the
free coinage of silver than any subject
which has been under discussion since
the foundation < f the government.
Many poople, good honest people,
have been misled by designing men,
but their eyes are being opened.
Washington, Aug. 31.—The of-
^ ficial count of the treasury cash, be**
gnii May 31 last, made i e:essir7 by
the transfer of the office of treasurer
ol the United States irom K. H. Ne*
belter, to D, N. Morgan, has been
completed The committee having
(his work jn hand, consisting of E. B,
Daakam, A, T. Huntington and Cnas.
H. Nobles, was assisted by sixty ex
pert counters and laborers,, and has
worked constantly since it first began.
Treasurer V organ yesterday signed
a receipt in favor of K H, Nebekcr
(o\ $740,817*419.783. made, up as
follows: Cash, $i74,7704aa,97; treas
urer’s transfer account, $31,580,588,
921 reserves, $314.857,4^7; wetted
certificates, $1,339,000; bonds held in
trust, 8218,378,001^9!.
Mr. Nebeker received the receipt in
person and by that act .his bond for
$500,000 was released, and the bond
o! Mr. Morgan as treasurer, which
was filed aud approved some time ago,
became responsible for the vast stock
of money in the treasury. In count
ing and weighing this vast cum of
money not one cent was found miss
ing. Several bags of the stiver were
found broken, the bagging having
rotted, and these were found several
dollars short, but subsequently the
silver dollars were recovered from the
floor, where they had fallen. The
total weight of the coin counted was
about 5.000 tons. „

The Times Recorder of Amerieus
has made a discovery. It says :
“Did you hear th : senatorial boom
• of Henry G. Turner hit the ground
with a sickening thud when he voted
solidly with the go’dbugs Monday?
A goldbug senat'-r from Georgia!
Bah!” * ^
Tho idea ol Henry G. Turner
being a “goldbug,” wi.l bs news to
the public, and to the most intimate
friend* and ncquainiar.c 9 of the
distinguished G*orgi.i:t. Mr. Turner
Mr. Carlisle is one of the ablest men
in the country. No one donbta his
ability, or his patriotism. And he is
a democrat of democrats. Replying
to the question the other day, as to
whether scarcity of money was at the
bottom of the present troubles. Mr.
Carlisle said:
“No greater mistake could be com
mitted than to assume that the pres
ent financial embarrassment is caused
by an actual scarcity of money in the
country. The fact is that the amount
of currency of all kinds in the coun
try, outside of the United States
Treasury, on the 25th day of the
present month was $58,452,350 great
er than the amount outstanding on
the first day of the month, and 870,<
294,783 more than the amount out
standing on the first day of Septem
ber, 1892, when business was active
and prosperous. There is money
enough to transact all the legitimate
business of the people, but the diffi
culty is that it has been withdrawn
from circulation and hoarded. The
true remedy is to restore confidence
and credit, and thus put the money
now in the country in circulation
again.

Senator Garlu.* 1
a* made :t grand
speech in fa'.’ot «>l t
repeal of tbe
Sherman act.
Mr. Voorhcc.-*, uno

tinguished onilura in
the senate, 6a^a
ot it:
“It is conceetltd
ail that Gor-
don’a epecch, in the f

of its argument, in the beauty of its
illustration*, iu t’nei;
ace and elegance
of its deliver)*, was

Senators Vihti ant
Limluay have

*xd copies of the
speech to that it van

a campaign ducumvr
t.
Henry G. Turner made the short
est speech delivered by any leadin
man on the fiaatiei.il questions. He
said all he wanted to in fifteen inm
ates, but in that time said more than
some men said in an hour. Mr. Tur
ner has the faculty of packing his
speeches with hard horse sense*—
Gwinnett Herald.
It is said that ten thousand negroes
now employed in the turpentine in
dustry will soon bo out of employ
ment* Fears are expressed that
outrages will Ue committed by these
men, and that trouble will ensue in
several counties where large numbers
are employed.
The Macon News does not take
much stock in the belief that Tom
Watson will be able to organize
party in Georgia. It says:
All this talk amoDg populists and
ihair friends to the effect that Tom
Watson will cut a big figure in the
next slate campaign is ridiculous.
It is exceedingly doubtful whether
WatsonV. party will be sufficiently
large ard active to require a leader
by the time the state campaign
opens or no:, bat if it is it wilTwant a
leader other than the wily Tommy
from the tenth.
Tom Watson will never be the
leader of any considerable political
faction in Georgia again. His lea
dership has been a failure. The
trouble is he leads too much—too of
ten—too long, and lead* when he has
nobody to follow.
Echoes from the great storm are
still heard. A special to the Chroni
cle from Beaufort, S. C*. says: Over
390 dead bodies have been found on
the island* about Beaufort and Tort
Royal. Over $2,000,000 of property
has been wrecked near the same place.
Both ol these are the direct result of
the severe storm which swept along
the Atlantic coast Sunday night.
Every one of the fifteen or twenty
islands lying around Port Royal and
Beaufort is steeped in sorrow. Op
every door knob there is a bnnch of
crape and upon every hillside there
are fre»h made graves, some already
fried, while others are awaiting the
bodies that will be deposited in them
just as soon as some one can be found
to do the kind Christian act of shov
eling the dirt upon the coffins. ’
A correspondent with a weakness
for statistics is authority for the state
ment that the repeal bill in the House
cost the congressmen two million
words of-speeches and the country
$280,000 in legislative expenses. The
statistician further figures that the
senators are likely to spend four mill
ion words on the subject and the fur
ther cost to the country will be some
thing like $500,000 before a bill goes
to the president—News.
Durifig this month the heavens will
present many interesting features to
tho obeerven, and the usual dear
autumnal skiee will- enhance the
beauty' and sublimity of the
creation nigbtly spread out before us.
The earth in its annual course
around the sun will cross the autum
nal equinox on the '22nd, when the
days and nights will be equal.
Mercury is now morning star, but
cannot be easily teen as it is too near
the sun. It will reach its superior
con {auction on the 20th, after which
it will appear as evening star. ~
'The large bright star in the westat
dark is Venus,' which now dominates
that part of tho heavens with its
dazdiog white light It la still rising
higher and higher and > growing
brighter* every'evening. A telescope
of moderate power will now show
Venus f to be the shape of nbk moon
about three dayr.after the. fall. It
will soon assume th* crescent ford;
but the loss of light due to a decrease
in its visible disk will be more than
compensated for by the- apparent in
crease in size due Uf its proximity.
Venus is moving almost directly to
ward us now, and we may find much
interest in watching its changes for the
next few months. On the night of
the 12th the new moon will make a
very dose, approach to Venus, indeed
the planet will be occulted in the
Southern hemisphere. The brilliant
planet hanging almost upon the
nothern cusp of the moon like a
diadem upon the lunar coronet will
present a spectadews rare as it is
beautiful.
Arcturus in Boots is overhead, and
to the weet. Along the ediptio Capri-
comus is jnst rising, Sagittarius is
well up, Scorpio is on the meridian,
next Libra,' and lastly Virgo on the
western horizon.
The fixed stars appear to move but
little, and if Adam could come to
life again he would see no appreciable
change in the position of these fai>ofl
worlds. Still, accurate measurements
chow that all of them are in rapid
motion. The most rapid motion yet
observed among the fixed stars is that
1830 Groombridge, a star of the
seventh msgmtudein the northern
sky. Its velodty cannot be less than
200 miles a second, or 600 times as
swift as a cannon ball. It is some
times called the Runaway Star.
Our sun, too, with its retinue of
worlds is drifting 150,000,000 miles a
year toward the Constellation Hercu*
les, threading the mazes ot an infinite
purpose with beautiful precision along
That broad and ample road whoee
dust is gold and pavement stars.”

‘‘Health Officer Brunner received a
telegram yesteiday from Or. Porter,
state health officer of Florida, stating
that the recently reported case of yel

wrongly disgoosed aod that the case
was not yellow (ever after all. Dr.

Here is what Commissioner Nesbit
says about the crop of cotton and
corn in Georgia iu bis last report:
Since the last report the condition
ot this crop has fallen off 412 per
cent and is now- 79 2 7, and while
these figures are slightly above those
of last year, yet the backwardness of
the crop is such that it is liable to
further injury and with only a small
increase iu acreage we are i
to the opinion that the total yield for
the state will not exceed that ef last
year. With the low prices prevailing
it is imperative that the farmer should
so handle bis crop both in gathering
and sheltering the bales, as to be able
to obtain the highest market price.
In that portion ot the report given to
the monthly talk of the commissioner
special attention is caUed to the im
portance of this matter.
The condition of this crop has fal
len off very greatly and is now II per
cent below the corresponding period
for last year. Notwithstanding this
the increased acreage will compensate
for loss by reason of onfavorab’e
sods aod the total yield will equal or
exceed that of last year.
When the president’s message went
to congress it was claimed by a lew
anti-Cleveland silveritcs -in this State
that the eutire congressional delega
tion from Georgia was solid for free
coinage and against the Administra
tion policy. As the debate progressed
it developed that this claim lacked
the element of truth. Iu the House,
when the vote came, a majority of the
members from Georgia, Black, Cabs'
oiss, Lawson, Lester, Russell and
Turner voted for repeal.—Enquirer-
Sun, Columbus.
Only four congressmen opposed the
president's policy, Messrs. Livingston,
Moses, Maddox aod Tate.
The silver dollar contains 371J
grains of pore silver. The gold dollar
contains 23.22 grains of pore gold.
By a simple process of divirion the
fact beoomes evident that nearly
16 gold dollars would be required to
measure up to the weight of a silver
dollar. Hence, the ratio is 16 to 1,
or, more accurately, 15.988 to' 1.
This ratio has remained undisturbed
since 1837.

Many incidents occurred during the
wrecking of the City ot Savannah,
calculated to stir the better leelings ol
human nature. Quoting one feature
ot the terrible drama, the Savannah
Press says:
I never saw a braver set of women
in my life thau those on the Savan
nah,” eaid-Mr. Osterbout “During
all the terrible time aboard the ship
and the experiences ot landing on
the islands not one of them whim*
percl. They trind .to be cheerfu’
and were resigned to whatever might
come. The women gave us new hope
by their heroic oinduct. The little
babies, God blees them, were the rift
of sunshine iu the dark cloud-* which
hong around us- They seemed to
understand b/ intuition that it was a
time of peri!, and instead of being
peevish, as one would expect them to
be under the circumstances, they were
bright, sparkling, and cheerful all the
time, apparently enjoying tho discom
forts of the situation.”
The faetthat President Cleveland
absented himself from Washington
during the discussion iu the House on
the stoppage ot the silver purchase has
been unfavorably commented upon by
his .political opponent?; but their crit
icisms would have no doubt been quite
as unfavorable if he bad remained at
his post. He would have been charg
ed with buttonholing congressmen
and bribing them with offers of patron
age in consideration for votes. The
truth is the administration has left
altogether to congress the task of de
cision. The President fu'fi’led the
duty which devolved upon him when
he called congress together and
recommended what be thought neces
sary to be done. Itis cot aty part
of the Executive function, to either
coax or bally the legislative branch of
the government.- Philadelphia Record.
Itis pretty well understood that
