THE END OF THE FAIR. If is a Thing of Ilia Past—A Graphic Dcscripticiv'of tho Closing Scene. Iq speaking ottRe closing ot the great World’s Fair the Chicago Her ald describes the closing scene as follows: The- ebd came at sunset. The great Columbian Exposition laded as quietly and sadly as an autumn day, and when tbe belching cannon had sent a score oi shots to Heaven and pelted the'domcs and pinnacles with a million echoes the giant had died. Silver-throated chimes tolled the knell, murmuring fountains sang the Tequiem, while clouds hung as the shrond. The night stole, on, the breakers slept, the lagoons grew as dim as patoted ponds, the lights blinked out and it was over. It pars ed as gently as the withering rose, to leave a memory as sweet as the fra grance of an incense pot. The mighty old organ groaned and wept, the preacher prayedjhe whizzing pulleys ceased their jangle, the rattling wheels hung silent, the throttles were choked. The waning moon looked down at midnight upon a wilderness of beauty awaiting the assassin’s ax. Columns, towers and turrets, portals, peristyle and palaces, Dianas, mermaids and heroes, archers, Neptuoes and pyra mids, sculptors’ groups and artists’ panels, treasures of genius and mar* vels oi brains, all stood mute at the altar side, awaiting the torch to make them ashes. It was a sight sadder than a funeral and as melancholy as a winter forest. The wind sent shafts to the marrow and rattled grewsomely in the withered leaves and frosted boughs, and from end to end the fairy acres were as sombre as the valley of the shadow of death. There were no pageants, no long lines ot gorgeous floats, no noisy pro cessions. Neither bombs nor mortars rent the sky, nor were sizzling rockets loosed. There were no merry ban queters, no concerts, no jubilees. The trumpeters, who heralded the fair were silent and the thousands who sang the patriotic hymns a half year ago were hushed. The flaming fagots that flared under the ribs of the gilded dome were unlighted. There wire no stridiog meteors unrolled, no majestic bars blown by the wind. There were no chapeaux, no epaulets, no gather ing of the nation’s great. No orators scaled the heights with congratulatory eloquence, no gonfalon lell at the signal oi a potentate. All the fetes became funeral pyres; rejoicing hymns were turned to songs of sadness, and triumphant strains were dropped to death marches. Tears ran where sroi'es were wont and sorrow filled breasts where pride was due. Pity lor the end became grief for the calamity and all ended the grandest event of four wonderful cen turies. Fate had been cruel and its unkindness had added a piteous death as tho climax. Thus the sadness of the end was two-fold and the great fair went out under a double cloud. Amos J. Cumminps, tho c L^rft-8 man-j"uruati«t, in a recent syndicate letter cn “Democratic Wheel Horse* in Congress,” pays this high and de served tribute to one of Georgia’*} vet eran representative!-: ‘Henry G. Turner, of Quitman, has taken a very activo part in all the hearings before the committee of ways and means, and, like Speaker Crisp f was at one time chairman of tho com* mittee on elections. Indefatigable in his committee work, be is a power oh the floor of the bouse. His speeches, though few, are well seasoned and carry great weight. There is nothing dramatic about him. He speaks calmly and dispassionately, confining himself so the point at iseuo, And elucidating the facts very clearly and convincingly. Extremely courteous in bearing and language he com mands both the attention and the consideration of all who hear him. He is one of the steadiest and strongest of the wheel horses in the house. The nation, let alone his state, could illy afford to lose him.** Was it Suicide? Atlanta, Nov. 10.—Thackery Phil lq*s, brother of J. W. Phillips, the well known wholesale grocer, was found, to-day, near the city, at East Lake, with his throat cut from ear to " Ho. is in a dying condition, and says he was enticed there by two men. He recently built an elegant home near there. He will din. Phillips does not know, the names of his assailant^ and it is thought ‘ by his friends that ho suicided. The Augusta Chronicle winds up an able editorial on the political situation as follows: ‘This is no time for.ioteraal strife. Let the democrats come together. Let them lay aside all minor consider ations,, and quickened by tbe warning which was sounded on Tuesday, fall into solid phalanx, redeem the pledges of their party and carry the war into Africa, Right here in Georgia and Carolina there is great need that such a spirit be cultivated. There is noth ing to gain by going out ol the party. There is everything to lose. The work of alignment and unification should begin.’’ The Chronicle is right, democrats in Georgia should be found where they have been in the past, standing shoulder to shoulder. And that is where they will be fonad when the contest comes again. Jesup, Ga.’, Nqvi ro.— the situa tion still remains unchanged. As a result of repeated solicitations and representations that fberewas no fever here, Surgeon Carter arrived this morning for the purpose "of disinfect ing all the' bedding and woolen articles which had been in contact with the patients. The disinfecting car which follows Him will, in allprob ability, arrive from Camp Detention by to-morrow morning’s train. Tliis begins to look as if the end might be shortlycxpcctod to a quarantine wtveh has now become as irksome as it useless. It is hoped that in a day or two at farthest, Jesup will be entirely relieved. A true, dyed-in the wool-democrat never gets rattled over a temporary defeat. Here is what Speaker Crisp has to say about tho elections on Tuos day: “I think there is nothing to dis« hearten us in the result. There is no indication to my mind of weakness in our party from that election. It was no slap at the administration and pro ceeded from a series of very natural ‘*In tho -first place, tho financial de pression caused much discontent, which will disappear with the soon and certain return of better times. Then it is an of! year, which but car ried with it the fulfillment of the old precedent, that tho party in power loses. “But the, most salient feature of tho late elections is the fact that in many of the states the issues were lo cal and not national, New York be ing the notable example of this state of affaire.” Georgia’s military is receiving at tention at the hands of the legislature. A dispatch to the News yesterday says: “Senator Wooten introduced a pair of interesting military bills in tbe Senate this morning. One provides for tho reorganization of the governor’s staff, giving his private secretary a place thereon with the rank of major and conferring rank_ on the other members. The other bill is for tbe reorganization of the state militia. It provides for not more than seventy five white companies and twenty colored, with six white regiments and two colored. The junior second lieu-* tenants are done away with and three majors assigned to each regiment. The bill embodies Lieutenant Satter- lee’s ideas. The offices of adjutant general and inspector general are also separated. At present Col. J. M. Kell Tils both, as well as being keeper of onblio buildings and grounds. California’s Mid* Win ter Exposition promises to be a big success. This, however, should not cause us (o forget ■.bat at Augusta, right here in Geors pa, one of the finest exhibitions ever witnessed in the South, will open on the 14th inst. Kentucky, true to her traditions, Stands squarely by tho administration. Mary Y.eUin Lease. New York, Nov. 10.'—K. G- Dunn & Co.'s Weekly review of trade to morrow will say: “The turn of the tide has come. Since tho elections them has been a distinct improvement in business, and particularly in man ufacturing. There is some increase in actual transactions and much more in the tone of business. Men of all parties feel that there is ground for greater confidence, the silver question being put definitely out of the way and the chanqp of disturbing action in other respects being lessened, while the right of tho people to rule their rulers has been vindicated. Thousands of mil’s, factories and workshops had been closed for months by Senator Sherman’s “cowardly makeshift,” but they might have been reopened long ago, and the pressure relieved, but for the failure of demo cratic senators to do their duty. The relief when offered came too late to turn the political tido which had set in stroDgly in all parts oi the country against democratic incapacity and mismanagement. Perhaps it is well enough that it is so. The democratic leaders, who have assumed to be wiser than the President and the party, needed a lesson, and they have receiv ed it. The drubbing they have got ten may do them good, and if it teaches them a little sense fcwill save- the party from disaster next year, when defeat would be much rnoro se rious.—Baltimore Sun (Dem.). There are strong reasons for believ ing that the contest for the Uuited States senatorship in Georgia next year will be between Speaker C. F. Crisp and Hon. O. A. Bacoo. Both men are exceedingly popular, and either would reflect credit on Georgia in the United States Senate.—Chatta nooga News. Unless the people of the nth dis trict insist upon Henry G. Turner go ing back to Congress from that diss trict—and they may do so—\Jr. Turner will be hoard from in the sen atorial struggle. Hero is a valuable pointer for young men: The best time to choose a wife is early in the morning; if a damsel is at all inclined to sulky and slatternly way3 ;t is just before breakfast. As a general thing woman does not get on her easy temper uotil after io o’clock. To meet her before that hour jou would not know her to be the same girl you met in the evening. Of course, there are exceptions, but it isn’t safe to take the chances—Lonsferd Re cord. There was only one state in which the financial question was made the lead ing issue, and that wss in Virginia. In that state the populists were ar rayed against tbe democrats. The populists opposed die unconditional repeal bill and demanded the free coinage of silver at the present ratio. And Virginia, grand old state that she is, endorsed Mr. Cleveland’ policy For 50,000 majority. The North Eastern railroad of Georgia,running front Athens to Lula, a distance of twenty-five miles, has defaulted on its bonds. It now turns out thatjthe state is an endorser for 8260,000 of these bonds or 815,000 per mile. The legislature will have 1 to take some action to protect the state. 1. » The Hawaiian matter has at last reached the public. Secretary of State Gresham says the provisional government was established contrary to public policy and international obligations, under the cover of United States Marines. He intimates that the old government should be re established. What will become of Sister Le$se now that the third party has flickered in Kansas? - We hope she won’t eon* clode to come dawirto Georgia. We have been visited -by many disasters this year and it is to be hoped that we will be spared the presence of Washington, D. C*, Nov. 9—The Tobacco Manufacturers Association of the United States' met in convention here yesterday evening to protest against the propoecd increase oi the tax on mannfactnred tobacco. Many southern and western tobacco manu facturers were present. They adopted resolutions protesting against the increased tax and suggest ing that the revenue of the govern ment could be largely increased by the repeal of the revenue laws of 1890, permitting tbe sale of leat tobacco di rect to consumers without tho pay ment of taxes. Echoes From the Election. Diacusriug the recent eU-ctioup, and referring to two men who played prominent parts in the coatee ot New York and Iowa, the Macon Telegraph says: The Republican candidate for gov ernor ot Iowa was a self-confessed swindler, who has been disbarred from practice before tho interior de partment by .» Reptib lean adminis tration for dishonest practices Never theless his party rained to him and elected him by a very large majority. Apparently not a Republican in tho state was deterred from voting for him by his disgraceful record. , Xu New York the Dem<*cratic can didate for judge of the court of ap peals was a man of great talon t aud au excellent record, except that fn his eagerness to give the majority of the people of the state control of its gov ernment he allowed himself to com mit an act which defeated the orderly operation of the lair and nullified an order of the court. It was an act which ought to have disqualified him as a candidate for the bench, fudges should not be made oi men willing to violate the law to gun apolitical ob ject, even when the object is a worthy one. Bnt tbe moral turpitude in volved in Maynard’s act was. far less than in Jackson's* attempt Lb swindle an old soldier plient out of a few hundred dollars on the false pre tense that :is was necessary to bribe tho officials of the pension bureau be fore the soldier’s claim would be al lowed. Nevertheless, 60,000 Dem ocrats of Now York refused to vote for Maynard and he was overwhelm ingly defeated, dragging down with him all the otbbr candidates on the ticket Which party showed the keener seme of public duty? Which is the more.intolerant of crookedness in pubs lie men, of corruption in politics, judged by the result of these two elec tions. One rallied after- repeated defeats to elect a thief to office, know ing him to be a thief; the other res linqnished its hold on tbe greatest and richest state in the Union rather than continue upon the bench a judge whose ermine was spotted by one questionable act, done that good might oon^o of it, not only without All the Clue Needed, Fu'tur—“My daa^Iuer h;.s my riousiy disappeared and I hav clue,” Detective—“Have you reared her carefully ?” Father—*‘0h, yes!

I-i thcSouth, where the populists and their sympathy rs have looked for ar victory in Virginia, their crushing defeat will have a good effect. Orta ocrats who have teen disposed to leave the’party ranks and work for their favorite reforms in new organi zations will now see how utterly hope* less such a course would be. They will come to the conclusion that their onlyxhanceof securing the legislation desired Is to stick to the d raocritcy, and take part in and help shape party movements and party policy. It they adept this policy they will at least have the satisfaction of aiding the party in redeeming the pledges of the party ra the Chicago platform, and when these pledges are carried out the mass*, es will get *U the relief they have asked for.—Atlanta Constitution. New York, Nov. 9.—It now looks as if the Corbett Mitchell fight would certainly come off io Florida. A cer tified check for $10,000 has been re< ceived by Richard K. Fox from the Florida people, as a guarantee oi good faith, and at a meeting to day of rep* resentatives of both men, they agreed to accept, providing the Florida Ath letic Club deposit $5,000, to be divid-* ed between the fighters as training expenses if the fight'is not allowed to come off. Topeka, Kan., Nov. 9.—Additional returns from Tuesday’s election swell the republican pluralities and the pop ulists, who were so hopeful yesterday, concede that they have been badly beaten. Sufficient reports have been received by the newspapers and the two state central committees, to war- rant-the republican claim of a large plurality of the great vote, and it will probably appear that the victory really a majority over both the populist and democratic vote. Key West, Fla., Nov. 9.—A rumi-r was started here late this afternoon to the effect that the long expected rev olution in Cuba had-begun .in real earnest, and that a fight between Cu ban and Spanish forces had taken place to-day at Cienforegos. It creas ted no little excitement among the Cabans hero. Nothing positive can be learned yet, but the steamer Mas- cotto from Havana will bring nows whether it is a fact or a canard. Atlanta, Ga., Nov. 10.—Secretary Hoke Smith jspeot to-day in Atlanta conferring with his law partner on the firm’s business. He will go to Macon to-morrow to represent the bondhold ers in the foreclosure proceedings against the Georgia Southern and Florida railroad and the Macon and Birmingham railroad, which comes up for a hearing on Monday. Chicago, III, Nov. 9 —During the five months the Ferris wheel revolved on the Midway plaisance, 1,453,6x1 people pairi a total of $726,805.50 to ride. The company paid off bonds amounting to $300,000, and after paying operating expenses, and divid* tog with the exposition, over $150,000 was left for the stockholders. Washington, Nov. 10.—Secretary Carlisle to-day addressed a communi cation to J. H. Deveaux, collector of tite port of Brunswick, demanding his immediate resignation^ Lexington, Ga., Nov. 9:-—CoL Jam6a M. Smith, the great Ogle thorpe farmer, is dangerously ill and not expected to live. The recent elections show that the populist party has not begun to dis integrate, it-is disintegrated. With* Kansas gone republican, tho backbone of'populism is broken. In ashpit while people will remember the party as they do the know-nothing, green back and others of'the kind, says the Morning News, reward but af a great sacrifice of repu tation and professional standing. Tho.Democratic party has nothing to be ashamed ot in the contrast be tween its action and that of its enemy. It will gain by reason of it. Its hold on the people will be strengthened by the evidence afforded that, before ev erything else, it pots the good of the state. By defeat under such circums stances it gains prestige with the best, most patriotic citizens. The Charleston News and Courier has been quoting General P. M. B. Young, minister to Guatamala, on tbe attractions and advantages of that country. General P. M. R.‘ Young finds Gua tamala a pleasant place to live in. He writes to a friend in Augusta: “I be* lieve if you could be here for a week you-would never wish tD leaveli; jt is so easy to make money if one just puts in a little eucrgy. Just think of having to plant sugar cane every twelve or fifteen years and coffee every twenty or thirty years. Two crops ot corn a year and 100 fruits that we have not. Thera is quite a variety of good vegetables that grow on the trees. The truth is that so much grows without cultivation that the poor will not work as they should. There are but few plows used in this country—only large hoes, mattocks and a big knife.” But there are drawback there,in fact another side to the picture. There is yellow fever in the country most of the time, and it is as easy to find snakes, tarantulas and soorpions as it is to make money. They have a' rev* olution every ten years and a hard earthquake now and then acd the storms are very severe. Excusing these little drawbacks, the country seems to be a veritable paradise. BY THE GEORGIA DEPARTMENT 0? AGRICULTURE. Relating to the Farm, Garden, Dairy, Stock Raising, Etc. the Secretary of the State Gresham talks right out by the status affairs in Hawaii. Among other .things he said: “It is not the policy of the government now*to encroach upon the rights oi other governments, nor has it ever been. Neither is it the policy of this government to be mo lested by other governments without protest. Tne American people al ways stand for what they believe to be right and honest. To dethrone the queen was a dishonest act, and this gavernment, loving liberty and independence as it does, there was nothing left to be done but to act honorably - and restore the queen to her former place, which was wrong fully and cowardly taken from her by the so-called provisional government crowd.” ^ CHICKENS.

Jackson Herald: In Virginia tie issue was a square fight between dem ocrats and populists. The democrats everlastingly snowed under the popu lists by immense ms jerries. The democrats elected the governor, lieu- tenant governor, legislature, senate and all the judges. The victory in Virginia has never been as complete since the war. Heretofore the democrats have been carrying the state by from five to fif teen thousand majority, but this time they carried it by 50,000. The democrats and republicans earned about the same number of states. The populists carried 000000. PEA. VINES. What is the best n&j to save pea vines forhay? P, C., Lee County.
