•John Wanamaker says: “I don’t
bare whether tariffs are high or low in
trade. I buy and sell to suit my custom
ers. 1 have always sought the open
markets of the world to ester to my
trade, and always will." And this causes
the Detroit Free Press to remark: "He

The Cotton drawers’ Convention in
Atlanta recommended a reduction of
acreage of one-third, except? in eases of
ioteualve farming, and there twelve
acres to the mule was suggested as suffi
cient. The disonssion ot this question
should open the eyes of the Southern
farmer to the Importance of cutting
down tho cotton yield. One million
bales off next'season would do the work
very handsomely in the way of Increas
ing the price.
Dbinkino toasts to tbs “destruction
of the North American republic" can do
the United States no ’ harm nor the vin

government in placing such a man as
Minister Pat Egan In a position for
whieh he Is wholly unfit, and keeping
him there in spite of bis blunders.
Judging us a nation by the alleged repre

The latest figures from the Depart
ment of AgriculturS place this year's
wheat crop in the United States at about
688,000,000 bushels instead of the 520,-,
000,000 bushels, which was the outside
estimate when the harvest began. In
June the most trust-worthy authorities
were confident that the wheat yield of
the oountry would not exceed 600,000,-
000 bushels, or 615,000,000 bushels at the
very utmost The result has been like
giving the farmers of the country $50,-
000,000 above what they hoped for or
what they would bare felt was a satis
factory result This makes the effort of
the Farmer*’ Alliance orators to show
that the farming interests of the coun
try are on the brink ot rain one of unus
ual difficulty.
The defeat ot McKinley to-day in
'Ohio, a Republican state, wonld mean
the destruction of the Republican party,
and it is so understood by MeKinley and
his party supporters. It may therefore
be safely stated that In view of the mag
nitude of the crisis, the Republicsns will
not permit MeKinley to be detested if
there is enough money in the United
Staten to prevent it; and with such an
enormous pressure to overcome, it
would be little short of n miracle should
Csmpbell come out the victor. The Re
publicans hsve the very existence of
their party staked on McKlulsy; and
should the champion of protection go
down before Uw clans of Campbell, a
very nnlikely result, tho rout of Repub
licanism wonld bo absolute.
: TO-DAY
There are four important and seven
minor State elections. The most impor
tant of’all is New York; the second in
importance is Ohio; the third, Masss-
Tnsetts; the fourth, Iowa.
New York elects its Governor, Lieu
tenant Governor, Secretary of State,
Comptroller, Treasurer, Attornoy Gen
eral, Engineer and Surveyor, Senate and
Assembly, ten Justices of the Supreme
Court, and Representatives in Congress
from four districts.
Ohio elects a Governor and other State
officers and a Legislature. Harrisou
carried the Siate in 1888 by a little less
than 20,000 majority. Campbell was
elected Governor in 1889against Koraker
by 11,000 majority, and yet his vote was
17,000 less than the votes polled for
Cleveland.
In Massachusetts Mr. Russell was
elected in 1890 by 9,000 majoilty. He
has made a popular administration, and
is himself an exceedingly able canvasser.
Tbe prospects are very good for the re
election of Mr. Russell by au increased
majority
Iowa elects a governor, other sfato
officers and a legislature. In 1889 Boies,
the Democratic candidate,! was elected by
1:1,000 majority.
. Colorado elects a Supreme Judge; Ma
ryland, a governor and other stuto offi
cers (of course Democratic); Michigan, a
congressman to fill the vacancy in the
fifth district; Mississippi, tile railroad
commissioners and legislature; Nebras
ka, an associate justice of the supreme
court, two regents of tho state universi
ty. New Jersey elects part of the sen
ate and an assembly: Pennsylvania will
elect a treasurer and an auditor general;
and Virginia, one half its senate and the
house of delegates.
THE GALLOWS MUST GO.
Public sentiment demands that death
shall be the punishment for murder, but
it,also demands that the execution shall
be relieved of tbe shocking exhibitions
so frequent at the hanging of criminals.
There was a terrible scone at an execu
tion at Redwood Falls, Minn., last week,
when a rope broke, and the criminal fell,
still alive though insensible, to tho
ground. The limp body was again tak
en to the scaffold, and with the noose of
a rope around its neck it was swung off
again, and allowed to swing until life
was extinct. Since it is known that the
recent executions by electricity in New
York wero attended by nono of tbe dis
agreeable incidents graphically describ
ed by reporters who wore not there,
there is no longer excuse for resorting to
tbe gallows with its barbarous certain
ties and shocking possibilities. If the
murderer is to be deprived of life, the
work should be done as painlessly and
quietly as modern science can do it.
OOOD ROADS.
The Georgia road congress struok it
right when it declared that It was emi
nently fit and proper ‘.hat the Georgia
convict leaae be abandoned, and that the
convicts be put on our publio highways.
The public roads, so-called in this
State are more of a disgrace than the
convict lease system, and the only way
to abolish these two evil* la to put the
convicts of each county to road making,
not working, and let us have what we
nover yet have had, decent publio roads
in Georgia.
It will probably taka fifty years to get
any decent roads In Georgia, but If the
convicts bad been- put at this work
twenty-five years ago, instead of being
leased to private parties, a fair showing
would by this time have been mado to
wards tbe accomplishment of that neces
sity of ail civilised countries, good
roads.

TO-DAY'S ELECTIONS.
Seldom in the history of American
politics has an election come off that is
more significant than that which takes
place to-day in a half-dozen States, nota
bly New York and Ohio.
The overwhelming defeat of Republi
canism a year ago simply aroused that
party to vigorous organization and re
newed their determination to recover
their lost ground; and those who expect
to see the results if 1890 repeated in tbe
election this year will be much mis
taken.
Flower will no doubt be elected in
New York, but he will have no such
walk-over as Cleveland and Hill en
joyed.
In Ohio tbe result is absolutely in
doubt up to the couutlng of tile last bal
lot, with the chances in favor of McKin
ley, as Ohio Is naturally a Republican
State by twenty thousand plurality,
Massachusetts is Republican but often
does unexpected things such for example
in electing old Ben Butler Democratic
governor; and Russell the present Dem
ocratic incumbent is just as likely to be
elected as not
In Iowa, Boies, Democrat may again
be elected; these Republican states have
a sort of inconsistent way of electing
Democratic governors and oven legisla
tures, while casting a big majority for
the Republican ticket in presidential
years,
The results will be awaited with Inter
est by everybody, especially in Ohio,
where high tariff versus free trade, the
classes against the masses, are to engage
to-day in a death struggle for the
mastery.
There is a chiel among us taking
notes—a chiel who bears a considerable
resemblance, at any rate so far as per-
sonal resemblance is concerned, to
Charles Dickens. That the American
notes of Sir Edwin Arnold, who reached
these shores last week, will give evidence
of a more friendly and broader spirit
than those of the creator of the immor
tal Pickwick, goes without saying. For Full line Pearl Buttons, large and small, to
the most marked feature of the mind as
well os tbe writings of Sir Edwin is bis
disposition always to see tho brightest
and happiest side of life. The view
whieh he takes of everything is as snnny
and as kindly as his nature, and we may
rost assured that, unlike his brilliant
namesake, Matthew Arnold, and numer
ous other foreign critics, he will not see
us through green glasses.—Now York
Tribune.
Travelers may learn a lesson from Mr.
D. Cone, a prominent attorney of Par
ker, Dakota, who says: “I never leave
home without taking a bottle of Cham
berlain’s Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea
Remedy with me, and on many occasions
have run with it to the relief of some
sufferer and have never known it to fall.

Baron Hirscii, the Hebrew philan
thropist, is said to be worth $100,000,000.
Ho made his wealth chiefly out of con
tracts for building Turkish and Transyl
vanian railroads. Tbe Rothschilds were
his financial backers whon be assumed
the contracts, but they got the idea that
the railroads would not succeed, and
therefore withdrew their support. He
then secured assistance from big bank
ing firms of Frankfort which he was
able to influence through his marriage,
and thus obtained funds enough to carry
on the groat undertaking. European
financier* have been surprised by the
enormous suocess of these railroads.
They paid from the day they were open
ed, and they made one of tbe greatest
fortune* in Europe for the bold contrao-'
tor who pinned hi* faith to them when
other* thought them foolhardy. Every
thing be ha* dnee touched has turned to
gold. He it a large holder of landed cs-
titea and French rentes. It is said hla
benefactions for several year* pact have
amounted to $1,000,000 annually.
Episcopalians are awaiting with
deep interest the meeting of the dioce
san convention In Macon and the out
come for an election for a biehop. Half
a dozen prominent clergy have been
mentioned in connection with the epis
copate, among them Dr. Williams of
Augusta, Dr. Foute of San Francisco,
Rev. Charles H. Strong of Savannah,
and Dr. Galior of Sewanee. It is believ
ed the standing committee is also con
sidering a northern man. In connection
with the name* already mentioned the
name of Rev. James Hollowall Kidder,
a leading clergyman ot the aioceae ot
Central New York, and at present rector
of St. Peter 1 * church, Oswego, N. Y.,
has been suggested. Tbe convention
propoeee to elect a bishop this time who
will accept the office and who will be
acceptable to tbe church.
