Tiik I’rogressivo Farmer of Raleigh,

“Deacon" S. V. White ot .Vew York
has made an assignment. lie tried to
corner the September corn market, but
tiie enormous crop interfered. His liabil
ities are estimated at from a million aud
a half to two millions.
Mahsuai.1,,. Field & Co., imported
$1,400 worth of pearl buttons nnd paid
$3,000 duty on the lot. These buttons
aro to he sold to the people of Chicago
Who will ultimately pay that $1,000 as a
tribute to a mistaken economic policy
—Chicago Mail.
Editoh Howell lias moved into bis
now say-parlor in the seventh story of
the Constitution building; and on yester
day gave a salutatory from that emi
nence. It was double leaded, so as to
reach down to the ground and servo ns a
lire cscapo ladder.
Simultaneously with the announce
ment that Mr. Dlaluo will uot he a can
didate again, comes the news that Dr.
Burchard of “Ram, Romanism and Re
bellion” fame is about to die. Isn't Mr.
Blaine withdrawing from politics just at
the wrong timo ?
The death of Hon. William L. Scott,
ex-member of Congress from the Erie,
Pennsylvania district, is a serious loss to
the Democratic party of that state. lie
was a leading member of the House dur
ing tiie terms he served there, aud one
who particularly made his mark on tarifl
reform.
It is said that Gen. Charles W. Field
of Virginia is a candidate for
doorkeeper of tiie next House. All
that General Field needs to do
to keep a door—oven a barn door—is
simply to stand in It; and passage is
barred by the statute of limitation. Gen
Field Is upward of six and a. half feet
high and weighs nearly one fifth of a
ton.
Emtoh Bayne of the Augusta Cbron
iclo, with a season ticket In his pocket
for a seat In the bald-head row
during the approaohlng theatrical
season, sees visions ahead of
twinkling stars. Hear him;
“About 0,000 stars are visible to the
naked eyo In summer, and about the
same number of half uaked atara aro
visible to the eye in winter.”
“The 04,” In the Legislature have
issued an address to the people of Geor
gia giving their reasons for not accept
ing the Confederate Home In Atlanta. It
Is a rather lame excuse and will uot go
down with the people at large. Tho old
Confederates of Atlanta have decided to
answer it, and Gen. W. S. Walker and
Dr. J. William Jones will shortly pre
pare ar d issue it to the public.
Hebe is a puzzler for the geologists:
A report comes from Leadville of the
discovery of an arrow head, made ot
tempered copper, and of a number of
human bones in the Rocky Point mines,
near Gilman, Colo. The relics were dis
closed 400 feet beneath the surface of the
earth, Imbeded In a vein of silver bear
ing ore. More than one hundred dollara
worth of ore clung to the bones when
they were removed from the mine.
Statesman Baldwin of Randolph was
busily engaged the other day In getting
members of the Legislature to sign a
paper that he didn't use “cuss” words,
and that he did not run hia hands in his
pockets “as If to draw a weapon.” He
no doubt was feeling for hia handker
chief to wipe away the tears of remorse
he abed for putting his hands, not into
his own pockets, hot |tbe pocket of the
state of Georgia to the tone of $4, a
clear lota to the state of $4.30 per day.
Tiie Dtiusunf Mew York aro now
getting ready to rout the Republicans In
November and their, cry will he “Re
member the World’s Fair," and It is
pretty apt to have a very happy effect
for the reason that it was due to the
trickery of Boas Platt that New York
was defeated in the contest with Chica
go in regard to the (election of a site.
Platt used his Influence with Republican
congressmen to vote for Chicago claim
ing that If Mew York got the fair Tam-
Nigt control the machinery of
tin such a way as to throw the stole
’the Democratic colama In 1882.
HIGH TARIFF.
Tiie report of tiie finance committee
of the House placing the tax rate at $3.0$
per thousand marks the high water lino
of taxation in Georgia, being the highest
rate levied in tiie state Bince the war
closed.
While the pension appropriation to
Confederate widows is to some extent
responsible for this raise; it cannot be
denied that there are other causes far
less praiseworthy that aided to bring
about this result.
Conspicuous among these avoidable
causes have been the two sessions of our
biennial Legislature, which the Consti
tution says shall meet once every two
years.
Thousands of dollars have been squan
dered by this “Long Parliament" in
these sessions, which should have been
cut down to the forty-day session last
year, provided by the Constitution.
Every day spent in session since that
time expired, and in foolish legislation,
is downright robbery of tiie people, in
which The Times-Recorder is glad to
say our immediate representatives par
ticipated under protest, urging a speedy
adjournment many days ago.
While the pension appropriation is
right and just, and the appropriation for
paying tiie state road lessees is proper,
tiie taxpayers of Georgia must not forget
tho foolish waste of time (which is
money) by tills legislature.hy which the
burden of taxation is increased in the
midst of the hardest times and tho low
est prices for cotton seen for many a
day.
The people should hear it in mind that
this legislature is responsible for tho
high tariff” they are now called on to
pay.
LET'S H I YE A SPEECH.
It might be inferred that tho proverb,
“A prophet is not without honor, save
in hi»own country," was applicable to
Judge Crisp in his relatiops with his
home people, if tho fact that he has uot
licen invited to speak here was to he
1 counted as significant.
The truth Is, the J udgo has been doing
missionary work In quarters where con
verts to Democracy were needed, and
his own people who were true and tried
in the faith could afford to let him
spend his time and energy whore it was
more needed than at home.
At an early date, however, the active
campaign will have closed: and then the
pcoplo of Sumter will expect their rep
resentative to give them a blast of the
bugle ot bis eloquence (so to speak) that
has enthused the multitudes in so many
other states this summer.
Lot Judge Crisp get himself in shapo
fur a speech; and lot our people preparo
the time and the occasion to hear one
from him; and then let's get together
and have one ot those old-fashioned
Democratic jubilees that will be a regu
lar “send off” to Judge Crisp In his raco
for the Speakership.
Why can’t the Young Men's Domo
oratio Club, in conjunction with their
seniors, take up this question and ar
range for the people to hear from Judge
Crisp ?
Tho people want to hoar him; let's
give them the chance.
Roswell P. Flower, the Democratic
nominee for governor of New York, Is
not only a wealthy man, but a g- nlal en
tertainer, who spends hie money freely
In order that bis friends may havo an
enjoyable timo. He has a handsome
residence In Washington and frequently
glres big dinners during the session of
Congress. It Is told that on one occasion
he gave a dinner at which flno wine
ot different kinds flowed copiously; and
among his guests was Tom Ochiltree of
Texas, who was one of tho last to leave
the festive board. He was escorted to
the front door by Mr. Flower, who said:
“Now ho caieful Tom and take twelvo
steps down, and you will reach the side
walk. Then you will see two carriages;
take tho tho first one, because tho other
one is not there.”
A Louisville (Ky.) dispatch says;
“Mary Stuckenbcrg, wife of a laborer
here, is believed to be what Is known to
the Catholic church as a ‘stigmata.’
She has trances, during which appear
upon her hands and feet and forehead
marks like those where the Savior was
pierced by nails and thorns at his cruci
fixion. The wounds bleod slowly, and
resemble similar marks upon others of
whom record has been kept by Catholics,
particularly those of Louise Mary La-
teau. A careful examination of the case
will be made by the priests.”
Senator Peffer In a recent speech
said: “If the Alliance should fail in
everything else It proposes, but should
succeed in breaking up the Solid South
by absorbing a majority of the Demo
cratic votes of that aection, It will de
serve the lasting gratitude of the whole
nation. It will have accomplished what
the managers of the Republican party
havo spent years of time and several
millions of dollars in vain to do, and by
so dotng demonstrate its greater potency
as a political diplomat.”
Si>kakixo of tho big failure of Deacon
Whit* In New York, who tried to buy
all the corn In Hie country on specula
tion, the New Y’ork Herald well says:
“Popularsympathy is not likely logo
out to a man who has met fallnre in an
attempt to corner a necessary of life.
A veteran in the field of speculation like
Mr. Whit* wtH not ask or hardly expect
It. They that take up the sword shall
perish by the sword.”
A BRITISH SOLON.
It may seem presumptuous for an
American to differ with so eminent an
authority in finance as Mr. Robert Gif-
fen, head of the commercial department
and comptroller of coin returns of the
British board of trade, but Mr. Giffen's
fulroinatlons appear quite ridiculous to
some of us Americans, especially his
statement that “the United States is
overloaded with paper currency.” ne
was asked what truth there was In the
calculation that England and the conti
nent would be forced to part with gold
amounting to £30,000,000 to pay for tho
Imports of American grain.
Mr. Giffen ridiculed the estimate and
said not bullion but securities and ex
ports would go to America to pay for
grain. Undoubtedly, there would bo a
heavy drain of gold for several months
to come, but payments for grain were not
tiie solo cause of such a drain. An im
portant factor in the financial situation
was tho silver question. Stable Ameri
can houses, ho declared, were making
preparations to face a silver crisis, which
is now inevitable, by making gold pur
chases in Europe. When asked If such
a crisis was inevitable, Mr. Giffen said:
In my opinion it is impossible to
avert It. The United States has become
overloaded with paper currency. The
issue of sliver certificates to the amount
of £12,000,000 annually was a gross legis
lative mistake and is hound to bring a
crash speedily.”
In response to an inquiry as to how
soon the crash he predicted could be
looked for, Mr. Giffen said:
February will probably realizo the
worst of the position. I do not see how
tho grave trouble can he averted by
remedial legislation. There is hardly
timo to avert it,even if the two parties in
congress could agree upon the means."
VOTED DOWN.
The fact that the Legislature voted
'down the “Ocala resolutions” by 81 to
03 should not be construed to mean that
the Alliancemen of tlio house do not
stand on tho Ocala platform; but rather
that aB legislators they recognize the
Impropriety, In their official capacity, of
endorsing the platform of any political
party.
They aro legislating for the people of
Georgia, not tho Alliance; and hence
their personal political views were not
properly the subject matter for a vote in
that body.
It is reported that an interesting ora
torical duel is likoly to be fought In At
lanta in the near future. It is to be
between Congressman Livingston and
Hoke Smith. Petitions asking the two
gentlemen to enter a joint discussion
are being prepared, and if they accept, a
lively timo Is sure to result. Congress
man Livingston and Mr. Smith are at
daggers’ points, and If they meet on the
platform it will be a regular fur-pulling
match.
A certain Dr. Keely (not motor
Keely) has discovered that tho chloride
of gold is an absolute cure for drunken-
ness, and has made a number of suc
cessful cures. Now the strange part of
the whole business—and for which no
explanation is ns yet. forthcoming—Is
that Dr. Keely is being vigorously, op
posed and denounced by some of the
E rcachers and temperance people for
la cure. Why Is this?
