** & A ngular situation.
OTEKPKODUOTIOI 18 IUH0U8-
I n th a m , Alexander A Co., our
Hew York correspondent* on the
cotton situation, write the N«wb
aim Bex as follows:
••The South has a virtual monop¬
oly in the production at cotton, and
(hare is no reason why this incal¬
culable advantage should not be
turned to the vast enrichment of
that section. Any such good result,
however, will never be realized so
long as overproduction of the staple
the world, and thereby
the market value
ol cotton. In other words, if the
cotton planters of the South insist
upon making more cotton than the
world has any uae for the surplus
wdl invariably make the price for
the whole supply, and thereby de
predate the value of the unnecessa¬
rily large crop below the value of
the reasonably small crop, and the
planter will find himself at the end
of each big crop season out his labor
and his pains without any profit.
••The importance at this matter
cannot be exaggerated, for the whole
financial welfare of the Booth de¬
pends upon remunerative prices for
the cotton crop.
“Every banker and merchant
throughout the cotton region should
fed it his personal duty to reason
and argue with all the cotton plant¬
ers with whom he has relations,
persuading than if possible to keep
the cotton crop cl next year within
the probable demand for it.
“There should be a protest from
every town and hamlet in the Booth
against any increase of the cotton
acreage next year. If the cotton
planters will listen to such appeals,
remunerative prices for the cotton
they do make will be guaranteed by
the inflexible laws of supply and de¬
mand ; but if they insist upon mak¬
ing another 9,000,000 or 10,000,000
bales crop next year, they may look
for a ruinous return to flve-cent
cotton and bankruptcy. 1 ’
Every, word of this is true and has
already been said in these columns,
but it can not be too often repeated
or too well heeded
FREE 00IIAGE OF SILVER.
The long struggle in the senate
over the question of the free coinage
of silver ended Saturday afternoon
in a complete victory for the cause
at the people when the free coinage
substitute was adopted by a vote of
43 to 36. The bill ik entitled: “To
rmtore the ooinage of silver dollars
and for other purposes.” The vote
was practically between the East
and West and Southwest, and the
goldbugg and bond sharks were
defeated.
The bill isnow in the house, where
it wffl probably be defeated, or if it
passes there will he vetoed by the
president. From there it will go to
the people this fall in the choice for
a president, and will not finally be
settled until the people have won.

say about the
proposition to leave it
there should be one or two Demo¬

this year. The correspondent quotes
the gover n or as follows:
“If I should ausweg the propo¬
sition at all,” he said to toe Morn¬ “and

toe question is one for toe State ex

drawn into the matter one way or
the other. The committee is com¬
posed of men who have the welfare
at the party at heart, and if the
question of eonsoMdaring the two
State conventions is brought before
them when they meet, I think they
are able to dispose of it. They confi¬ are
men in whom I have every
dence, and whatever they do I shall
be satisfied with their action. ”
A Dramatic Incident.
Quite a dramatic incident occurred
during Governor Atkinson's speech
at Waycrww recently. The gover¬
nor was in one of his bent flights
and whs carrying his audience along
with him in his tribute to Lee and
Jackson when he suddenly stopped.
The crowd was rather startled at
his abrupt halt. Some few imagin¬
ed that he was ill. His face wore
an anxious look, says the Gaines
ville Eagle. Suddenly he said in
low and impressive tonee: “I can¬
not speak unless I see people around
me comfortable. There is an elder¬
ly lady on my left who has no chair.
I mean the lady in the aisle with the
Mack bonnet. She seems to have
come down to us from* the time
when all these heroes lived. Such
a woman deserves a front seat in
any assemblage in Georgia. 1 trust
she will take this chair. ” The gow
ernor then lifted from the stage his
own chair, in which he had been
asatod, passed it over to the old
lady, who made herself comfortable
and sat down to listen to his excel¬
lent speech. The governor then
turned to the crowd of men stand¬
ing in the spur of the opera house
and said: “Boys, I wish I had
chairs to give you all; hut, as I
haven’t, I have concluded to stand up
with you. ” The governor’s two re¬
marks brought down the house, the
one for its chivalry, toe other for
its wit. He then proceeded to de¬
liver his stirring and patriotic ad-
dress.

Death of an Old Hermit.
Aroyle, N. Y., Feb. 5. — Thomas
Driscol, the “Hermit at Argyle, ” is dead
at the Bennsalaer Home for Aged Men,
aged 104. He was born in the county
of Cork, Ireland, and came to this coun¬
try at about the age of 35. Sixty-five
years ago he withdrew from the world
to lead the life of a recluse and nothing
could induce him to have any further
relations with society. For the past 40
years he had resided in a cabin near the
state boundary line, and only recently
entered the home for the aged.
