Tbere was no third party talk in the
•peaches of the ailiancemen in Americua
last Tuesday.
Tiie American people are very much
pleased at Nina Vanzant’s marriage, be
cause her husband is going to take her
out of the country.
The senatorial districts of Georgia
will not bo disturbed by the present leg
islature. That body lias indicated that
it is best to let well enough alone.
' The bounty on maple sugar alone will
cost the government $5,000,000 this
yecr, but Mr. McKinley in his brags
about cheap sugar to the people of Ohio
will fail to make any mention of that
fact
Tom Watson will not resign. But if
he should, as some of his people want
him to, and go before them for re-elec
tion upon his Atlanta platform, his veto
would come up several thousand short
of the returns of last year.
The Hon. Tom Watson got his foot
into It when he unburdened himself in
bis Atlanta speech. Ho has gone farther
than any other public npoakcr In the
state, and is justly censured and rebuked
by the press and tho people.
It is said tbat Mr. Clarkson It to bo
sfent to Ohio to manage the campaign
for the republicans tbere. Tbere is also
a campaign on in Mr. Clarkson own
state of Iowa just now, and it seems
that his services would be required
"there.
The Cincinnati Enquirer has swung
into line, and will give Gov. Campbell
its support In the canvass against Mc
Kinley and high tariff. The Cincinnati
gang who opposed the ro-nomlnatlon of
the governor will be found in the right
placo when the time comos to vote.
The Itev. Sam Small has reformed
again. Ho jumed from the press to the
pulpit, from the pulpit to the lecture
field, from the latter to tho school house,
and now has returned to bis first love,
and again enters tho newspaper field.
Sam’s experiences have not been profit
able.
It appears that baby culture is a lost
art in certain parts of Connecticut. In
what is known as the White Hills school
district a child has not been born in nine
years, and in consequenco the schools
have run short of material and will Lavo
to closo until a new crop of scholars has
boon raised. e
The Koine Tribune predicts direful
results from the alliance rallies hold in
Georgia tho past-week. But the Tribune
has always been an alliauce fighter, and
helped Dr. Felton in Ills hallohujn licks
agolnttbe democratic party last fall,
simply bccauso the alliance captured the
nomination.
Goon nows comeB from Iowa. From!
nent Republicans, men of intluence in
fiuenco In tho state, aro Hocking to the
standard of Gov. Boles. a Oue of these,
Maj. Richmond? of Council Bluffs, a
prominent member, too, of the Grand
Army of tho Republic, predicts that tho
Democratic nominco will be re-elected
by 25,000 majority.
The dohiocratic vote of Hamilton
county is about one-eighth of that of
the entire stato of Ohio. It would be a
serious loss to tho party if this vote
shonld bo turned over to McKinley,' but
that la not possible. It Is the political
leaders in Hamilton county who aro dis
affected, and tho fact that they wero sat
down on will win the party more votes
than thelt disaffection can loso it.
The St. Louis Republic says that tljo
next congress will Investigate the Key
stone Bank scandal with the view of
Impeaohlng Postmaster General Wana-
maker. There is no doubt in tho minds
of the people that Wanny was mixed up
In the general steal and swindle, hut
while he is awfully piqus he is also
shrewd and slick and it will be a diffi
cult task to get evidence against him to
make a republican senate consent to im
peach him. The investigation, however,
is abandoned for this reason, because it
1s sure to bring out a great deal of his
rascality and enable tho America^ peo
ple to viow him in hir true light.
Democratic primaries held in a num
ber of counties in Mississippi last week
indicate that United States Senator
George has a big lead In his candidacy
for re-election. Out of forty-seven
democrats who have thus far been nomi
nated for the legislature, forty are for
George. Major Barksdale has secured
only sevrfh. The latter is making his
canvass on the sab-treasury platform,
bat this does not take with the Missis
sippi democrats, and most of the coun
ties that have acted have denounced it
in the strongest terms. Despite his
declination, the indications are that
Senator Walthall will be chosen as his
own successor.
KEYSTONE politics.
Pennsylvania was once a Democratic
stronghold; It gave Harrison about 80,-
000 majority in 1888, and went for the
Democratic candidate for governor in
1800. It would he a very remarkable
circumstance if it should go Democratic
in the coming election and come into
politics as a doubtful state in 1892. Yet
a great many Keystone Democrats and
some Quay Republicans anticipate this
as the outcome of the political situation
now in existence in tbat state. The
Hon. James Kerr, chairman of the Dem
ocratic State Central Committee, rays
that his forces are in better shape and
are more hopeful than they were at any
time preceding the election of Novem
ber, 1890. Success in that election may
have aroused undue confidence in the
ranks of the party, but it is not wholly
improbable that tho Democrats tbere
know more of the conditions surround
ing them than is apparent to outsiders.
Senator Quay's telegram, sent out after
dark on the day of the last election, an
nouncing that his man had been elected
by 30,000 majority, occasioned no aston
ishment among Democrats* save as to
the smallness of the supposed Republi
can majority. The -eturns astonished
everybody.
Perhaps something similar Is iu store
now. Wanamaker, Bnrdslcy, Quay and
tiie rest of the gang make a nauseating'
dose to cram down the throats of the peo
ple, and there is already a great deal of
gagging going on among the Republicans
of delicate sensibilities. Those gentle
men are threatening to revive the old in
dependent organization of 1882, which
mado it so warm for the Camerons. Tne
purpose of the revival is to defeat Quay
by putting up candidates in all the dis
tricts pledged to vote against his re-elec
tion, and this means war to the knife;
for Quay can not suffer defeat without
suffering political death, and he will not
tamely submit to a homicidal attack.
He is at the head of the organization and
has all munitions of war under bis con
trol; he can therefore cooduct a lively
defense and at some points will be able
to assume the aggressive. The Demo
crats can symathize with the indepen
dent organization and fight the Republi
cans without indulging in a personal
campaign against anybody.
Governor Pattison has made a good
record and it Is said that be has some
Presidential aspirations. The prospect
of success will inspire bard work, and
there is an abundance of material for
manipulation. The republican officials
have made the mistako of allowing
themselves to be caught misappropriat
ing $1,000,000 of the state funds, and
this sort of thing has become so com
mon in Pennsylvania that the people of
that commonwealth have began to hold
the culprits responsible. The private
soap theory of public office is becoming
obnoxious, and the better classes of re
publicans seem determined that It shall
no longer bo applied in Pennsylvania.
They cannot stop its application while
Quay is general manager of the party,
and lie will not voluntarily retire, so
tlioro appears to bo a reasonable hope
that the democrats will again elect their
ticket, and if tlioy do elect it thoy will
turn up lu the convention next year with
the claim that they are entitled to some
consideration in the selection of tho can
didate.! Whether this claim will be
allowed or not is another matter, but it
may havo a very material influence upon
tho action of tlio convention, and the
possiblity of Its being presented make
tho contest In Pennsylvania more in
teresting than contests in that atate
usually are. It is much to bo hoped that
tho Keystone state will lid herself of tho
domination of tho set of political trick
sters now In control there, whatever her
resulting political status may bo.
The negroes, It is stated, aro in open
rovolt against President narrison in In
dianapolis, and they declare that they
will not vote for him If ho is nominated,
because of tho systematic manner in
which he has ignored them when tho pie
was passed around. President Harri
son when ho heard of tho state of affairs
among the colored brethren sent tho
negro Bruce, of Mississippi, who is a
chronic ofiicolioldor under republican
administrations, to fix things, hut tho
presence of Bruce had no more effect
than to add fuel to the' tlames. They
regarded him as a party hack who al
ways came in for tho spoils, and told
him ho could not fix anything, and that
tho best thing he could do would be to
go back to Washington, and ho wont.
Mr. Harrison will now havo to come
and straighten out his Indianapolis
negroes, and judging from what has
occurred in the past, If he commands
them to step up to the rack, fodder or
no fodder, they will step quick.
The official report of the physicians
present at the four executions in Sing
Sing must prove a death blow to any at
tempt to repeal the new law and silence
all prating about “cruel and unusual
punishment." “The experience of the
day,” concludes the report, “has proved
to our satisfaction that this method is
superior to any other yet devised.”
Ollier states have doubtless been watch
ing the result of this experiment in New
York with a view to the adoption of the
reform. The execution of Kemmler left
the matter in dispute. But now that
the superiority of electricity over the
gallows has been folly established we
may expect to aee the reform taken up
by the legislatures of other statee the
coming winter.—New York Herald.
HOW TO HAVE EASY MONEY.
To The Times-Recordeb:—As it is
in order for everybody to try their bands
in telling how the financial pressure on
the country may be relieved, I will with
your permission tell you what I think
about it; for though I am not a leader of
anything or anybody, I am in a position
to know the sentiments of capitalists,
and can explain just what needs to be
done for money to becomu as plentiful
as could be desired, and at rates of six
to eight per cent, per annum.
While I am not opposed to silver coin
age and an increase of 'the volume of
currency, I fail to see what good, coin
ing more money will do the tolling
masses, unless they have something to
sell in exchange for it, or unless they
can give the security necessary to bor
row it at low rates.
There are thousands of millions of
English, German, Scotch and American
money seeking for investment; these
people are glad to get three per cent per
annum; and to them five per cent, is
enormous, and six per cent, a bonanza.
Why then doesn't some of this Idle
capital come South, or to Georgia for
Investment? Why is money so hard to
get here, when our people don’t mind
paying six times the highest rate these
capitalists are now getting? Why do
English and American capitalists take
three per cent year after year, with
such chances as are daily presented in
Georgia for trehlo their present returns;
There must be some potent reason for
this curious state of affairs; and the
reason is as simple as it is powerful
There would be one hundred million
dollars, or an average of five hundred
dollars a pioce for two hundred thousand
farmers In Georgia, sent right into this
stato to be lent inside the next six
months at eight per cent, and lmlow, If
the capitalists could bo satisfied with
the seourity.
But what is the matter with the se
curity? Are not the lands of Georgia
the very best security in the world?
Then why don’t the capitalists accept
them?
Now comes the point of the whole
business, the veritable “cat in the meal
tub;" mark these words, for they ex
plain the poverty, the hard times, pan
ics, the alliance demands for relief, and
everything else that causes the country
to groan and pray for better times:
The exemption and collection laws of
Georgia virtually destroy all the securi
ty tho farmqr can give; and he cannot
borrow money at reasonable rates, and
often not at all, because be is in effect
legally atopped from giving security.
Abolish all homestead exemptions,
amend the collection laws so that the
lender can get his money out of a tract
of land as promptly,and by the same pro
cess tbat be could out of a United'States
bond; and there is no doubt but that tho
farmers of Georgia could borrow what
ever they really needed e« ery year at
tho logal rate of interest, and below.
Even if a borrower now has moro
property than tbe $2,000 that be can
smuggle up under a homestead, ho can
keep it in law for yoars, while tiie lend-
or is trying to collcot, and hence tho lat
tor cither charges nn onormous premi
um for the risk he takes, or most gen
ernlly keeps away from farmers and lands
entirely, and puts his money in threo
per cent bonds.
Nothing liko tho pvosent hardships
Would bo ondurod, if theso changes wero
made, for tlion nobody would borrow
beyond his moans, when ho know that
all lie had was bound for tho debt; and
while an occasional case of hardship and
luin would arise, tho greatest good for
tho greatest number would be brought
about by wiping off our statuto books
overy vostigo of our present exemption
and collection laws. '
Let our farmers’ Logislaturo do this,
for thoy alone can do it with impunity;
and thoy will then have done what is
bettor than, and will take the place of
roduotion of tariff, free coinage, third
party,sub-treasury and all other round
about attempts to accomplish an end
that can only bo accomplished by going
straight to tho root of the evil,

The clergy of tho city of St. Paul are

appealed to tho governor of tho stato,
but ho assured themthat there Is no law
andor which the fight can be nrevented.
Tho Episcopalian Bishop appealed to

that the clergy of St Paul have waged;

GROW LESS COTTON.
The South Caroliha farmers have
taken the lead in a movement having
for its object the reduction of cotton
acreage. They recommend that a con
vention be held in December, at which
the situation shall be considered and
some plan agreed upon for effecting
general reduction In next year's acreage
of cotton, say to two-thirds of the pres
ent acreage. The Farmers' Alliance
will be looked to as the instrumentality
for carrying so extensive a scheme Into
effect. It Is a herculean undertaking,
for It Is evident that in order io be suc
cessful the plan mutt be adopteu very
generally, and it is well known that
nothing is more difficult than to induce
a large number of persons to unite on a
common plan of action when their per
sonal interests are involved.
A convention may be held, and it may
be agreed unanimously that the aceage
of cotton must be reduced one-third.
That will bo the easy part of the scheme,
None of the delegates will feel bound to
reduce the size of their own cotton
fields unless there should be a general
reduction. It may bo possible to in-
duco all the sfib-al'iances to subscribe to
the plan. All the individual members
may be convinced that it will be to their
interest to adopt and adhere to the plan.
It is manifest that it would cost < much
less to produce 9,000,000 than 9,000,000
bales, that six million-bale crop would
he likely to command prices which in
the aggregate, would prove more re
munerative than the low prices which
a nine million-hale cl op would be sure to
bring.
So far the sclicmo may be worked out
according to programme without much
trouble, but when it comes to the prac
tical feature a great many farmers will
be found planting as much as ever in
order to take advantage of the high
prices expected to result from a short
crop. And so many will obey this self
ish impulse that tbere will actually be
no great reduction in acreage.
While it is not probable that any or
ganized effort of this sort will amount
to much, it certainly is desirable that
the acreage of cotton should be largely
reduced. Such reduction and greater
diversification have been urged by the
papers for a great many years. It Is
hard for the farmers to be convinced
when they reach tbe limit of profitable
production. They will cling to cotton
long because it is a money crop. It is
only wbon convinced that they can em
ploy their labor more profitably on other
crops that they will give less attention
to cotton. *

NOT BUItPRISING.
A dispatch from Lncern states that
Henry M. Stanley and his wife, the es
timable English lady who linked herfate
with his only a year ago,have separated
This is not a surprise. The lady has
probably discovered Stanley's truo char
acter, and is no longer dazzled by the
romance that attached to him becauso
of his adventurous journey through tho
wilds of Central Africa.
Stanley never was true to any person,
country or cause, and it was not to bo
expected that ho would remain constant
in his affection for his wife.
lie has not even been true to himself,
for the namo he bears is a borrowed one
and is not that which he inherited from
his father.
Ho ran away from his family when a
mere lad, and lid them for years to be
lieve that lie was dead.
He began the late war with the con
federates, and tho close found him fight
ing on tho federal side quite as vigorous
ly as lie had formerly fought on the
other.
Ho made all the reputation lie had as
an American, and was fitted out and
supported in tho search after Livings
ton by an American newspaper, but
when it became advantageous to him to
declare himself an Englishman ho had
no hesitancy in shaking off all allegiance
to this country.
lie lias ostentatiously styled his Afri
can expedition, “the rescue of Emin
Boy,” yet by no man is he more hearti
ly despised than by this German savant
and explorer.
The expedition, while a daring, and
In some respects successful undertaking,
was productive of cruelties which a
really great commander ought to hare
been able to havo kept down.
But tho English mado a great lion of
Stanley on his return from Africa, and
his marriago with Miss Dorothy Ten
nant was celebrated in Westminister
Abbey with much eclat. It has been
short and doubtless unhappy union, and
wo lepcat, the result Is no occasion for
surprise.
Gov. Campbell says the silver ques
tion will not enter largely into the Ohio
campaign. The people will want to hear
something of tho silver question, but
after tho canvass Is two weoks old you
will hear almost nothing outside of tbe
tariff. If some great silver man had
been nominated on the Republican ticket
then the silver question would be dis
cussed, but Maj. McKinley stands for
prolection, is tho great champion of the
system, and that issue will crowd all
others to the wall
THE COTTON MOVEMENT.
When it comes to the question of mov
ing tbe cotton crop, Southwest Georgia
has an advantage that is worth thous
ands of dollars annually, and the farm
ers here are not slow to perceive it and
get the benefit of ft.
Tbe crop movement begins in this
section of the South several weeks
earlier than elsewhere; and a month to
six weeks ahead of portions of the cot
ton states.
As many as eight thousand bales have
been received in Americus In August;
and September is often tbe heaviest
month.
From this it will be seen that the
farmers of Southwest Georgia can mar
ket twenty-five to fifty per cent, of their
crop before the movement is large
enough elsewhere to affect the price
at all.
There is always an eager demand for
tho first few thousand bales of the crop
by the mills who don’t carry large
stocks, and tbat Bection which can furn
ish the cotton ahead of others reaps the
harvest at the highest prices.
Thus it was tbat last year early cot
ton brought 10| cents in Americus,
while other southern markets came
along only in time to catch prices a cent,
or more lower, two months later.
The sooner therefore the farmers of
Southwest Georgia can send in the early
part of theircrops, the more certain they
will be to get the benefit of opening
prices that are likely to be much higher
than later In the season.
This is why Southwest Georgia is
more prosperous than most other cot
ton producing sections, for the differ
ence in returns is about ten por cent in
the pockets of the seller, as between
August sales and October sales.
The plan therefore that the farmers
here will most likely pursue Is tbat fol
lowed in former years; whatever may bo
tbe need elsowhere of holding back the
October and November crop so as not to
break the market.
Conditions here differ from those that
prevail in the South generally; and what
is best for the farming population of
sections whoso crops mature a month
later, is not necessarily good for South
west Georgia.
“The early bird gets tho worm" here,
Moral: Come to Southwest Georgia to
raise cotton; and you will be happy and
prosperous, while elsewhere tbe people
get left. '
A bill has passed the state senate to
place the names of grand jurors in the
traverse jury box, so that the latter may
be drawn from the whole number of ju
rors of the county. The bill also pro
vides that should a grand juror be
drawn for both juries, another name
shall be drawn to take hia place on the
traverse jury. The object of the bill is
to improve the traverse juries.
GO SLOW.
No greater danger exists than that of
too much legislation, especially railroad
legislation, in this State. A general
law, administered In wisdom and justice
is worth scores of special laws of unequal
or conflicting application.
The clamor of “Railroad Monopoly”
is likely to mislead some people Into tho
idea that certain stringent laws are im
peratively needed to keep tho railrxids
from devouring the public; whereas, tbe
railroad commission, even with its
present limited and restricted powers
has so far proven wholly competent to
prevent all injustice or oppression.
Witness tho recent caso of the reduc
tion of the coal rate.
With certain additional powers, there
seems to bo no doubt that our commis
sion can handle all questions affecting
tho interests of tho public, without the
aid of any wildcat legislation, the main
object of which would seem to bo to
promote the local political prospccls of
certain so-called “champions of the
people.”
Let the Legislature go slow, as they
have heretofore done. We havo been
blessed so far with conservative legisla
tion by tho farmors who control our law
making body, let them not now depart
from tho wisdom of their way, to tako
up hasty, or all advised bills, aimed
against railroads.
Tho pcoplo of Georgia want the rail
roads to prosper under proper and just
restrictions, for the prosperity of the
roads and of tho people go hand in hand.
Giro the commission what additional
powers they ask for, and lot them work
out the problem to the satisfaction of
tho stato and the roads as well.
The Times-Recokder does not bo-
llove in a compulsory 2 cent rate, for
instance; leave that discretionary with
the commission, and if conditions of
business warrant, tho proper reduction
will be mado in due time.
MOLASSES FOR FUEL.
With the progress that has been made
in the manufacture of sugar in LouUi
ana it has come about that molasses u
now regarded almost as a waste product
Tbere is no market for the lower grades
of whleh tens of thousands of galloui'
are thrown away. Many planters ia, t
year gave It away to anyone who would
furnish the barrels and pay the freight
while othen stored it in large reser.
vois, hoping that the price would rise
so that they could afford to ship i t
This year the product will be greater
than ever before, tod it is to be expect,
ed tbat the prices will be lower than
ever and th# waste greater. Anyone
who can show the planters how to
utilize this product will be a benefactor.
The Planter, a journal published at
New Orleans In the Interest of the sugar
growers, has advised a use for the waste
molasses, which would be the last to oc
cur to most minds. It is simply to use
the molasses as fuel, just as the Iowa
farmers have at times used corn for fuel.
According to the Planter tho molasses
burns with a high heat in combination
with wood or wood fiber, and by sprint
ling it on dried bagasse (the refuse of
cane after the juice has been pressed
out) an excellent fuel is obtained. If
only half of the molasses produced is
used for fuel, it is estimated by the
Planter that a substitute will be furnish
ed for 75,000 or 100,000 tons of coal,
which is more than enough for the man
ufacture of all the sugar of Louisiana.
It Is expected that the cane grown in
Louisiana this year will yield 550,000,000
pounds of sugar and 300,000,000 pounds
or 700,000 barrels of molasses. The
lowest grades of vacuum pan molasses
contain from 20 to 25 per cent, of sugar,
which cannot be extracted- by any pro
cess thus far fnventod. Such molasses
is estimated to be worth only from 1-11
to 1-5 cent a pound. Pittshnrg coal at
the sugar house costs 1-5 cent per pound.
Such data form the basis for the Plant
er’s calculations. The use of bagasse
itself is an important economy. In mills
like that at St. Cloud It Is dried by waste
heat from tbe furnaces. Perhaps the
Planter’s idea will not prove practicable
in extensive use, but it ought at any rate
to be thoroughly tested.
Nsxt to the nomination of Gov. Camp
bell the best thing the Ohio state demo
cratic convention did was the squelch
ing of the Hamilton county toughs who
have so long disgraced tho party and
disgusted tho decent people of that
state to tho great injury of the democra
cy. There is reason to believe, now that
the democratic party has mado 1% quite
clear that it will no longer suffer the
dictation of the Cincinnati ward leaders,
that it will be stronger in Ohio than It
has ever been. The democrats of that
state are to be congratulated on the fact
that they havo sent to the rear the men
whose base treachery defeated Allen G.
Thurman for re-election to the United
States senate and caused the retirement
from publlo life one of the grandest,
ablest and purest democrats that this
country has ever known.
Now let the legislature beware how it
tampers with the free pass business, for
if the commission should, under the en
larged powers sought to be given it, ent
off the free pass of the Georgia editor,
there will be a revolution that ail the
Lieutenant Colonels on Got. Northen’s
staff will b« wholly; unable to squelsh.
WHAT OPPRESSES THE FARMERS
Calculating on Commissioner liaum's I
assertion tbat he is “going to dump1
350,000 original cases upon the various I
pension agencies of the country before]
the year Is out,” tbe New York Herald]
figures It that “a neat little income of]
$25,000 per day will be divided oat]
among the wolves that prey on the old]
Boldiers."
This calculation is made on the buis]
of $10 per case which the statutes allow]
pension attorneys on “original cases,"I
and allowing 140 more working days foil
the remainder of the year. It is mathe-|
niatically correct.
It is that sort of thing that is creating]
so much unrest among tho farmers oil
tho country. They are literally taied|
to death to support other classes.
Tho farmors are tho sub-strata, I
ground work of all industries and call-1
ings, nnd consequently they pay the!
greater part of the taxes. They are
taxed enormously for pensions,
taxed to pay bounties to manufacturers.!
Wlmt tho farmers need is what t
Democratic party proposes. Let
this class legislation be wiped o
There must bo an end to pension grabs
and bountios to favored classes, a
then the farmer will not feel that i
times press on him so hardly,
