ififc 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. „ Astronmical Forecast. MAKE SOMEBODY FLAD 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. is n bimeiaUat, cord with his n-trl We do not, ki'.ow li&a any at-mrior:-. but if he has u conservative, a-:*: has always iu.cn. in the estimate.:: iog men of the South. Henry (.! man. i i- >tir.;\ :• of the states- Senator Garlu.* 1 a* made :t grand speech in fa'.’ot «>l t repeal of tbe Sherman act. Mr. Voorhcc.-*, uno uf tho, meat dis- tinguished onilura in the senate, 6a^a ot it: “It is conceetltd ail that Gor- don’a epecch, in the f r»u gth and force of its argument, in the beauty of its illustration*, iu t’nei; ace and elegance of its deliver)*, was charm in our senate proceedings.” “There wa j in it t iat bfiy, manly spirit, that fear'ces j» reunai independ- ence which alw.v.s a< t>rj3 the utter- ances and actiGn* of Jeneral Gordon, and for which the wc I:aa so SoDg and so justly ad mi ret bint. lie lias, indeed, done hi* com try, ia its hour of peril, a splendid s '“me-.” Senators Vihti ant Limluay have both applied lor prin *xd copies of the speech to that it van he cl:culated as 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.” Otis Ashmore.

Dr. Porter stated that he had recommend ed all restriction on intercourse with Port Tampa removed.” Kansu has another invasion of grass hoppers, and it would seem that with Ingalls, Pefier, Mia. Lease and grasshoppers, this' misfortune-ridden, state is down beneath a load of tribu lation from which it can only lift it- selt through the interposition of die vine aid.—Macon Evening News. 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. Three cases of yellow fever do not make an epidemic. Brunswisk is sU right, if she can check the disease at its present stage. The physicians and citizens are making a manly ffght, and every one hopes that success will crown their efforts.

Total -758 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.
