From every part of the country comes | the report of great damage to the cotton , crop by too much rain, rust and cater- j pillars. It is the same old cry, and the aston- j ishing feature is that the south does; ! not get used to this state of affairs, for ! j year by year the same story goes out. ! The crop is boomed all .June and .July. | and the price-makers In Liverpool arc \ cabled by tbcir .wiits of the niafcnltlcent ■ I crop pros].vets in the I'nitcd States; the p | tneiise yield, prices tumble, and w hen j the shortage allows up the south’s pro-; idiicer* cannot hope to profit by it. for the crop has long ago been bought by j those English sharks, and our buyers j can only go by the rules outlined for them, and pay such prices as the code j CUT PRICES Still the uie at Beall & Oakley’s.

The success of the cotton crop is never a certainty, and nothing can safely be counted on until the trying month of August is weathered through, aud even though there be an overwhelming crop up to that time September and Oc f <»ber rains may greatly damage the staple; so really the crop is not in any way safe until it is picked and housed. There is no crop liable tons many dis aster in its course of maturing as the cotton crop of the South, and some way to regulate prices so as the farmers can come in on the home stretch is a subject open for discussion. 403 .1 aclcson st. he bank.

The [ people are evidently in a better mood for The Democrats of the second Tenues-, taking up its cultivation tliau they were see district have nominated J. C. J. a year ago, for the relative importance Williams against John Hotik, the lie publican candidate. Mr. Houk will have a good following, because he is the son of his father; but the Democrats Lave a fighting chance, aud will work it for all it is worth. Eight new cases of typhoid fever, said to be due to the uso of impure well water, have been reported in Newark since Saturday. The polluted condition of the Passaic river has driven most of the people of Jersey City and Newark to use well or spring water. Reports from Chili state that Balma- ceda aud the government forces have been overthrown and the congressional party are in possession of the capital and are decidedly on top. The effect will bo a reorganization of the govern ment, with a new president and one nearer to the people than the Balmaceda crowd. A physician in Australia declares that he has found a remedy for snake bites that never fails, and that is a hypo dermic injection of the nitrate of strych nine. This is a very good cure, no doubt, but it will never tike the place of the old time remedy of one quart of rye administered in quick doses straight out of the bottle. The cottou planters of the lower Mis sissippi valley have been holding meet- lugs and pledging themselves not to jay moro than 10 or 50 cents a hundred pounds for picking cotton. There in expected to bo a vigorous opposition on the part of tlm nickers, and the planters may bo forced to pay the wages they de mand or see their cotton go to waste. There is reason to fear that the emancipation of the negroes in Brazil will result as disastrously as it has in Hayti and Jamaica. Agricultural and domestic labor is said to be completely demoralized. It is very difficult to ob tain Held labor or house sorvants. The ex-slaves think that freedom means freedom from toil, and they rofuse to work fov love or money. The latest attempt at transplanting tho Southern negroes is that of the Langston Colonization Society, which is said to have 850 agents in the South seeking for negroes to colonize the Okla homa Indian lauds, which are soon to be thrown open for settlement. Possi bly the struggle for existence in that land of droughts and blizzards may have a tendency to elevate the race. The Delaware peach growers are pe culiarly unfortunate. In 1SS9 and 1S90 there was such a falling oil in the peach crop that the basket manufacturers sus pended business to a large extent. Tids year there is a large crop, but it is im possible to obtain nearly enough baskets. The price of baskets has risen from ^ ... . , The Democrats of Minnesota had a 3 to 5 cents, while the price of peaches . , h unusually low.

The lintless cotton originated with Mr. H. T. Ferguson, of Spartanburg, S. C. A few days ago he exhibited in that town a stalk loaded with bolls, all filled with large,. plump seed, and nothing else. Ho claims that he has perfected the variety, and that he will have seed enough this year to plant the entire State. Before the uses of cotton seed became known a lintless rariety would have been regarded merely as a curiosity, and the idea of growing it for profit would have been ridiculed. Whether or not it will pay to grow it now is a ques tion that can be decided only after trial. If It does pay the people will not be surprised, for, as the News and Courier says: These are record-breaking times, atd the cottou pluut is as full of surprises as a mou- k®y. A hundred years ago there was some doubt al>out whethercotton could be grown lu this country. This year there Is consider able doubt whether we can stop its growing. Twenty years ago the seed, were regarded as a nuisance. Now th-y are wortli more than t he corn crop, hay crop, wheat crop and hog crop all combined. Ten years from now the lint may be u nuisance, and indeed, it Is next thing to Lbnt now, A special advantage claimed for this variety is that it yields about one third more oil than ordinary cotton seed The bolls are filled with seeds like that of sea islard cotton. They need to be gathered as soon as they begiu to crack, else the seed will fall out. The esti mated yield is four hundred bushels to the acie. AS TO SILVER COINAGE. When doctors disagree, who shall de cide ? It Is remarkable liow the doctors of the body politic disagreo on the silver question. The boldest statements aro made by those who ought to know, yet these statorficnts often show the grossest ignorance. Even such an intelligent paper as Tho New York Evening Post falls into a palpable error. It says: “The silvor men boldly demand that the government shall not only buy all the product of their mines, but shall buy it above it* market value ?” If the free coinage act is passed, the government will not buy the silver at all —It will simply coin It, and return It to the owner in silver dollars. Tho owner of silver bullion will take it to the gov ernment mint, just as a farmer takes his corn to mili, and have it coined just as corn is ground to meal. The govern ment will charge a small sum for mint age, or “seignorage,” as the miller charges toll. Tho silver men simply de mand that the government shall extend the same courtesy to silver that it does to gold.
