Ani> now silver is going to England under orders for purchase. This does not correspond with Mr. Sherman’s prophecy that America would be the ■dumping ground of the silver of Europe. There is evideutly a miscalculation somewhere. Rutherford B. Hayes has so fallen into obscurity that two men in Knox ville actually got into a fight as to whether he was alive or dead, the othei; day. Such is fame! Ilis fraudulency of 1870 died a political death when he took Tildcn’s seat. The Republican committee, iu accept ing the resignation of Quay, declares that he is an honor to the Republican party. Y’es, he honors the party by his resignation, and the bosses seem recognize the fact by connecting the two ideas together. We’ll soon begin to n.»k where Purls is, and who Eiffel was ? Paris hud seventy three acres under roof for Its exposition, and Chicago alrendy counts up one hundred and fifteen—with Georgia not heard from.—i'ele- Pfraph. And not likely to be except by her conspicuous absence. Major R. N. Ely, formorly attorney general of the state and a noted planter of Southwest Georgia, lias been at Albany. The major has for months hung around the hotels and public re sorts of the city presenting a sad illus tration compared with his former self. The refusal of O’Brien^and Dillon to take part in the Parnell movement has greatly discouraged the Parncllites, and the chances are they will retire from the field as a political party Charles Stew* art Parnell has led the Irish cause gal lantly for years, and ho will bo com pelled now to surremlor the leadership jtQ others. , Lv compliance with the resolution by Mr. Clifton of Chatham, lion. Pat Cal houn will address the legislature next Wednesday, August 12, upon the im- tportnnce of improving, the river and harbors of Georgia. The address will bo at 11:30 o’clock a. m. Capt. Carter of the United States navy will probably bo present on that occasion. Tjie Washington correspondent of the Baltimore Sun, who is now traveling in Europe, in a recent letter from London suggests that It would bo an excellent idea for the English exhibitors at the world’s fair in Chicago to attach a tag with the price of each article iu Eng land above the price of the samo article in the United States. The suggestion is an excellent oue. The dilTereuco would very practically and forcibly illustrate the beauties of the McKinley ldgh tariff, and demonstrate to the peoplo what they are bedug robbed of by this iuiqul* tous hill. The Cincinnati Enquirer comes up nobly to the support of Governor Camp bell after this fashion: “The Stato con vention arbitrated the disputes in the Democratic party in Ohio. It rubs out the lines which separate the sections. It sets up the standard around which all Democrats rally. The question of Gov ernor Campbell’s availability is no longer one for discussion in Democratic circles. The convention has re-nominated the governor and associated with him a ticket individually and collectively sound and commendable. It has set the pace for all Democratic instrumental! tios.” Intimations have been given out in Washington that President Harrison can no longer carry the weight of Wanama- ker’s very questionable connection with the Keystone bank failuro and defalca tion, and therefore quite plainly indi cated his dpsire to soo the Postmaster General’s resignation, with a view to ac cepting it at an early date. It is now said to bo in the executive clutches, and Its fate is regarded as a foregone conclusion. That makes three reported, With Proctor, Noble and Wanamaker out and Blaine sulking, the Harrison administration appears to need all the bolstering up wich Bro. Platt can givo it in New York. ££u. John Foster, of The Times-Re- corder staff, who was a youthful mem ber of the Burke County Sharp- Shooters, Captain Holmes, in the winter of 1800, participated in the first actual warlike movement that opened hostilities. The company of which ho was a member, acting under Governor Brown’s orders, seized the United States arsenal at Augusta, and thus was a par ty to the first overt act of war against the United States. And in this connec tion it Is a historical fact that Governor Brown was really guilty of treason in having seized the Augusta arsenal in ad vance of the secession of Georgia. an encouraging outlook. The leading capitalists and bankers of New Y'ork take a very encouraging view of our prospects this fall. President J. Edward Simmons, of the Fourth National bank, says that with short crops in Europe and large crops here he cannot see any reason why we should not expect a general improve ment in our financial and commercial condition. President H. VY. Cannon, of the Chase National bank, takes the same position. He says: “We have, during the spring and sum mer, been dealing with Europe on a cash basis. <*nd we must continue to do so for some time to come. Fortunately the condition of affairs is such that they in turn must deal with us on tne same basis, and they will be compelled to make heavy remittances in gold in pay ment for our grain and produce, which is now moving. This will be of great assistance to the business interests of the country, add undoubtedly do much to restore coufideuce in business cir cles.” Charles Ii. Flint, of Flint tfc Co., ship owners and commission merchants, says: “It seems to me that a good commer cial year in the United States is assured. It is possible that there may be an im provement in Wall street during the coming fall, brought about by the in creased earnings of railroads in moving the large crops and merchandise in ex change from the manufacturing centers, but the general financial condition in Europe is likely to be such as to discour age speculation, so that we may realize what has been predicted by a prominent financial writer—‘dead speculation with live industry.’ ” Mr. John II. Inman is quoted as fol lows: “The south has already made a large crop of wheat and corn in its grain-grow- sections. The cotton crop promises to bo large, but the Indications are that it will be somewhat slow in moving, for two reasons. First, because the season is some ton days later than usual; and second, because the price is so low that the planters will not bring to market rapidly. At a satisfactory price a plant er would bring in twenty bales of his first picking, while at a lower price ho would probably bring in ten bales to get ready money and hold the balance until later. This, with the low price per bale which it now takes to move cotton, will require much less money to secure the movements of the cotton crop during the fall months than would otherwise be the case. This largo crop, however, is of course good for the railroads, as they will have a large tonnage regardless of price.” The New' York World fills three columns with similar expressions of opinion, all pointing to a general revival of business and easier times this fall and winter. JUDGE DICKSON OF NEWTON. Notwithstanding tko fight made on Governor Nortlien’s appointment of Capers Dickson to the judgeship of Now- tou county court,he was confirmed by a most decisive vote. This was ns it should have been. Apart from the em inent fitness of Judge Dickson, which would of itself have sufficed to satisfy the minds of the senate of tho propriety of tho appointment, it was conclusively shown that whatever be tho prejudice against our worthy govornor In some questions, ho is given credit even by his opponents for consciontously discharg ing the duties of his high office, and seeking to do the very best ho can for the people of the state In tho appoint ment he n akes. Ho has acted- in all cases with great caution and delibera tion, and has probably made as few mis takes as any governor who preceded him. If Governor Nortlien never docs worse than to appoint such men as Capers Dickson to office, his official record will be one of which he may well be proud. It is a common thing for some preach ers to make “a few remarks in tho form of prayer,” but Rev. Mr. Stevenson of Waterloo, Iowa, seems to have beaten the record on Sunday when he assaulted the throne of grace. He began by thank ing tho Lord for the action of Governor Merrlam of Minnesota in preventing tho Ilall-Fitsimmon prize fight, and lie pray ed for strength for the governor of Ten nessee in adjusting the mining troubles, after which ho said, apologetically: “But this may be politics, and, O Lord, if thou dost not know anything about politics, make the politicians pray themselves.” Naturally enough the gag brought dow n the house and the ap plause of the more devout brethren w’as long and loud. Probably Mr. Stevenson will take the stump for the Republican party this fall. THIS FALL’S ELECTIONS. Tjie following states will hold elec tions on the 3d of November next: Virginia will elect one-half its senate and a full house of delegates. Iowa and Massachusetts will elect a governor and other state officers and legislature. Mississippi will elect three railroad commissioners and legislature. Nebraska will elect associate justice of the supreme court and two regents of the state university. New Jersey will filect part of the senate and the assembly. Ohio will elect governor and other state officers and legislature, and vote upon a proposed amendment to the con stitution providing for uniformity of taxation. Pennsylvania will elect treasurer and auditor general, and vote whether a con stitutional convention shall be held, and elect delegates to the same. New' Y'ork will elect governor, lieuten ant governor, secretary of state, con troller, treasurer, attorney general, en gineer and smveyor, the senate, the assembly, ten justices of the supreme court, and a representative iu congress from the tenth district. Maryland, November 3, will elect gov ernor and other state officers and legis lature, and vote upon six proposed amendments to the constitution of the state. The first empowers tho governor to disapprove separate items in appro priation bills; the second restricts the exemption of corporations from taxa tion; tho third provides for uniformity of taxation; the fourth relates to the election of county commissioners; the fifth authorizes the sale of the state’s in terest in all works of internal improve ment, and the sixth empowers the legis lature to piovide for the taxavion of mortgages, if such taxation is imposed in the county or city where tho mort gaged property is situated. In .addition to tho above, Kentucky will, on August 3, elect governor and otber stato officers and legislature, and voto upon the constitution framed by the convention which was elected Au gust 4, 1800. Texas, on August 11, will vote upon five proposed amendments to tho con stitution of the state. The first pro vides for the registration of voters in towns of 10,000 population and over, the second relatos to the maintenance of the common schools, the third fixes the maximum rate of interest at 10 per cent, and in contracts where no rate is specified at 0 per cent; the fourth ro tates to local option, and the fifth pro vides for establishing two or more civil courts of appeal. A RAD MOVE. It does not look well for the Richmond & Danville railroad company to be scrambling for every cent of cash they can lay their hands on in the way of the receipts of the Central road, and having it expressed to Washington, when the bulk of the money taken from Georgia will have to be paid out here again in a short while. At this season of the year currency begins to move south to pay for cotton, and the fact that bank drafts on the east are not to be accepted by the Rich mond & Danville railroad company looks like they are more anxious to take the actual currency out of the country than to collect their revenues. That is one of the evils of having headquarters so far away from home, and is a strong argument in favor of our merchants sticking to the lines that are more willing to reciprocate than the It. «fc I). seems disposed to do, judging from the following order just issued by them: Richmond A Danville Railroad Company, Operating the Central of Georgia—Office of iptroller, Savannah, Ga., July 31,1891.— »n<l after August 1 next (or as soon there after as this order reaches you) make all re ances by express from your agency t< John W. Hall, treasurer Richmond & Dan llle railroad, Washington, D. C.

Tho Now Y'ork Sun having sarcasti cally advised Mr. Cleveland to test his popularity in New Y'ork by trying to secure tho gubernatorial nomination, the Constitution endorses the suggestion, and urges him at some length to put himself before the people of his stato in order to secure that endorsement, which would, if obtained, insure bis nomina tion for the presidency a year later. Mr. Cleveland claims that New Y'ork is not in favor of the free coinage of silver, upon which tho Democracy else where is practically solid; and tho Consti tution thinks this the best of opportuni ties for demonstrating tho real views of his home people. The Timks-Recordkr does not be- licvo that Mr. Cleveland wapts the nomi nation on any such terms; ho will accept it unsolictcd, and on his own terms; but lie will never concede one iota of his views on silver or any other subject to secure even the presidency. Unless therefore the silver question is disposed of by the next session of Congress, so that no longer it will bo an issuo when the National Democratic Convention meets next year, Mr. Cleveland’s namo will not, with his consent, go before tho convention. nitta (»ive this jour persona' and prompt alten- tiou, and remit every dollar possible. Answer if understood. Edward McIntyre, Comptroller. Tho Central's receipts have a'ways been remitted to the Central railroad bank at Savannah, and the checks for operating expenses have been drawn up on the hank here, or the money direct, for the payment of the employes in Sa vannah. Tho new order will make quite a dif■ fcience In the amount of business done by tho Central railroad bajk. The agents of Savannah have been accus- tomed to deposit their cash with the bank daily. Whether the Richmond it Danville is in immediate need of the money, or what reasons there may he for the order, it was impossible to learn. That was an interesting scene in the house Thursday when Mrs. Felton was admitted to the floor. It was a scene which those who were there will not for get. For the first time in tho history of Georgia a woman was extended the priv ileges of the house. All Georgia will agreo that Mrs. Felton, of all women in the state, was tho right one to receive such honor. nON. J. J. INGALLS. This distinguished ex-senator, proba bly tlie most gifted speaker in the Uni ted States, will deliver an address at tho Piedmont Chautauqua at Lithia Springs, Ga., on Thursday evening, August (1. Subject, “Probloms of tho Second Cen tury of Our Republic.” Ample railroad transportation will ho provided for tho Immense crowd that will probably greet the distinguished spoakcr. This will bo an occasion that no ono should negloct, as probably in a lifetime no such oppor tunity will bo allorded to listen to so dis tinguished an orator. Let all come. The occasion will be a great intellectual treat.—Constitution. While some of the Georgia editors arc inquiring why the Atlanta herald doesn't come, the latter journal is mak ing a similar inquiry concerning its ed itor-! n-ebief, Rev. Sam W. Small. It be gins to look like the editorial parson has “put up a job” on the herald and the public. Dit. Tiiamsi, of DusseldoriT, Germany, lias issued a report which has caused much pleasure among tho believers of Dr. Koch's system of inoculation os a cure for tuberculosis. Dr. Thamm says that he has managed by the Koch sys tem to bring about a complete cure in -10 per cent of the cases of tuberculosis which ho has treated, and that satisfac tory results havo occurred in 45 per cent of othor cases which ho has treated by tho samo system. Naturally the fol lowers of Prof Koch are elated over this roport, which, it is supposed, will do much to strengthen the courage of waverers. BIG CROP AND LITTLE MONET. It is a serious question with a great many who observe the signs of the times, if some disaster that would cut off half tho growing cotton crop wouldn’t prove a blessing to the planters and to tho south in general. •The very low price of cotton prevail ing now is said to bo caused by tho fact that ovor 1,000,000 hales of last year’s enormous cotton crop is hold over, whilo tho growing crop promises to he one of the largest ever produced. Tho acreage is great and tho seasons have been propitious. If pricos drop lower than they aro now tlie crop from this year will not pay the cost of production, and however lino tho crops may bo the planters will meet with disaster. That is a blue picture which it is hoped timo will improve. It is three months yet before tho cotton picking season will be under full headway, and something may happen to improve tlie market before then. However,tho lesson of ovor-croppiug is again very forcibly impressed upon tlie Southern planter. With half tho acreage devoted to cotton that was given tlie staple this year, and the rest of land planted in corn or other crops, the planter would probably realizo as much on his cotton as he will realize urder ex isting conditions, and tho other crops would havo boon a clear gain. If tho lower price of cotton forces tlie cotton planters to raiso their own food products it will, in tho long run, prove a blessing. STATE BANKS. A notable debate took place Wednes day at Prosperity, S C., between United States Senator SI. C. Butler and President Stokes of the state Alliance, in which the latter advocated the sub- treasury bill as the remedy for the pres ent insufficiency of the circulating medi um, and opposed state banks. Senator Butler was afraid of the con centration of power in the secretary of the treasury under the system of the sub-treasury hill, and favored state banks of issue as the better remedy. The Times-Recobdeb is glad to see such able statesmen as Senator Butler in favor of state banks of issue, because from that source it is confidently be lieved that a partial if not a complete solution of the financial question of the day is to he obtained. The issqp of money by state banks, un der proper safeguards and restrictions, is believed by The Times-Recohdeb to bo the “something better” than the sub treasury bill, which alliancemen profess their willingness to accept; and it is an encouraging sign to see that not only statesmen like Senator Butler, hut jour nals like the Atlanta Constitution, and prominent bankers, favor tho trial of state banks of issue as tlie very best so lution of tho problem which is now occu pying tho attention of all thinking men. If tho convention of business mdn which The Times-Recohdeb suggested yesterday, should meet in Atlanta next month, and do nothing but pass a resolution favoring state hanks of issue, and ask the Legislature to memorialize Congress to repeal the ten per cent, tax on state hank currency, a vast doal of good would have been accomplished. Just so long as our prominent busi ness men keep quiet and endure tlie ills of tlie present unnatural and unnecessa ry stringency in money matters all through the country, just so long will congress refuse to pass any measures of relief; and nothing hut a McKinley bill ground swell against tho further per petration of such injustico as the people now endure, will convinco tlie powers that he that a reform is really demanded by the people. BY THE YEAR. The Georgia Legislature is settling down for a session to last the halanco of tlie year, judging from tho flood of bills pouring in daily, very few of which are worthy tho paper on which thoy aro written. Apart from reapportioning tho con gressional districts of tho state at this session, tlie Legislature might havo ad journed finally and for good last Decom her. Hasn’t somo legislator tho nerve to riso in his place and give notice that ho purposes to introduce daily after to day a resolution of final adjournment? Surely a majority of tho Georgia Legis lative docs not favor an interminable session; and such men should fight it and urge prompt action and adjourn ment. The Scions at Atlanta seem to Imag- Ine that their constituents want tho rail roads bankrupted, hut they don't; tho public simply want the Railroad Commission lot alono to manage the ques tions witii the fairness and skill that has always heretofore characterized that body. The Alliance farmers are fooling with dynamite in attempting to cornor the wheat market. If thoy succeed in run ning up the price, they will have tho consumers down on them, and if they do not succeed, the farmers themselves will be in each other’s hair. Tho whoat growers In tho west will probably do foat tho Alliance schomo by managing their own business and soiling their wheat according to their own judgmont. —Springfield Union. The Tiucs-Recordkk Is the very best paper Americus has ever bud. The piopie are to be congratulated.—Constitution. The Tiues-Rbcobdeh appreciates this compliment all the more because it comes from the greatest newspaper in the South, and ono that is getting better every day. If thore are a half dozen papers in the United States superior to tlie Constitution, The Times-IIecobdeb docs not know of their existence. SOUTHWEST GEORGIA'S MAN There seems to be grounds for sus pecting that a fight will be made at tho meeting of the Stato Agricultural Socie ty in Atlanta August 12, to displace President Waddell. Without taking sides in tho controversy, The Times- Recokdeb claims that in tlie event of a change in the presidency, Southwest Georgia is the proper Hold from which to select President Waddell’s successor. The reason for this is obvious. This is tlie great agricultural section of the state, and has long been overlooked in the distribution of the offices of the so ciety; indeed, sinco Alfred II. Colquitt was president and hailed from this sec tion, Southwest Georgia lias had none of tlie honors of the society. Among tlie names suggested to suc ceed Col. Waddell, Tin: Times-Recob- deh notes that of our fellow townsman Capt. John A. Cobh, and no hotter se lection could ho made for tho place. In addition to tlie ripe experience and largo knowledge of agricultural affairs which would qualify Capt. Cobb so well for liiling this position, there is tho ad ditional desideratum that Capt Cobh is I not a candidate, and if e'ected, would givo a most faithful service to tlie socie ty without undertaking to uso it as a stepping stono to political preferment. Without tho knowledge on tho part of Capt. Cobh of the intention of The Times-Recohdeb, ho is hereby named as tho candidate of Southwest Georgia for the presidency of tlie Slate Agricul tural Society. RECIPROCITY. With cacli new reciprocity treaty Mr, lilainc gets a fresh batcli of free adver tising. It is nothing for the Republi cans to brag about. If a little free trado is sucn a good thing, why would not more of it he still bettor ? If reciprocity with a few nations is a good thing, then reciprocity with them all is better; and general reciprocity is absolute freo trade. Mr. Blaine is therefore squarely on tlio lino of freo trado; and he is there be cause he is smart enough to soe the drift of popular sentiment against protection; and he simply calls it “reciprocity" to avoid wounding the sensibilities of those protectionist manufacturers out of whom tho Republican campaign fund must bo “fried” noxt year. The Pittsburg Post says: “The idea of Mr. Charles A. Dana of tho New York Sun, who knifed Cleveland in 1888, sup ported Ben Butler as a Blaine annex in 1884, and knifed Hancock in 1880, hav ing any just influence In determining who shall bo tho Democratic candidate In 1802 is a splendid illustration of the concentrated cssonco'of political gall and wormwood. It has been reported that Mr. Gould Is trying to get control of tho Richmond Terminal stock, but this report is de nied by those who speak for Mr. Gould and also by those who aro handling the stock in Wall street. As a rule, how ever, Mr. Gould’s purposes aro seldom known before they are accomplished, and his denials don’t count for much. Gen Phil Cook celebrated his 74th birthday Thursday In Atlanta in as en ergetic a way as could bo expected un der tho circumstances of his disability. His Americas friends send him greet- ings, and wish his speedy recovery and la long life. A NEW SCB-TREASuRy PLAN The Times-Recohdeb—Much has be said and written on the sub-treasur* idea, or plan as it is called; and manr are the claims for it, and many the ob jections to it. If we are to have i e „ is lation on that subject, I have a sug”e s tion to make that seems to me practic able. The farmers are asking relief from the government because they find that their products are tho mere pl av . things of monopolistic gamblers, who' being comparatively fow in numbers are easily combined together, and haw ing most of the wealth of the country can unlawfully control the price of f arm products to suit their own caprices, and it Is impossible for the oiganized and scattered farmers to cope with them. Now, government was originally j„. stituted to protect the weak against the strong, and to secure justice to all, and the farmer in his dire extremity calls on the government for that protection which should be given all. He wants the government's assistance to cope with these cotton and wheat gamblers who are in close alliance with the nni nopolists who have accumulated vast fortunes by reason of vicious class leg. lation. Hero is my plan. Let tho United States government fix a minimum price for tho non perishable products of the farmer, and advance to him 80per cent, of this price at a low rate of interest. This price can be fixed by considering tlie cost of production economically pro duced—tho supply and demand, etc. Take forexamplo cotton: let the govern ment agreo to advance 8 cents per pound on tho best grade of cotton. This will keep tlie price above 8 cents, for if a farmer can borrow 8 cents a pound on his cotton, ho would not take less. If tlie government should by this means acquire the entire cotton crop or a con trolling interest in it, It could maintain the price by regulating the quantity to be sold; and it could control the amount of future production, by taxing on a just basis all cotton produced in excess of say 8,000,000 bales. This would then prevent the smallest fluctuation in the cotton market below cost of production, and would give to agriculture a safe and reliable price for its produce. Of course tlie same rule would apply tc other arti cles embraced in the sub-treasury plan. On all these articles America has a prac tical monopoly of tho world's supply, considering their quality and grade. As a means of distributing this money and preventing the multiplication of ofticors, it is suggested that the govern ment could operate through the banks already established, or to bo established. Let the government solect a bank banker at eacli piaco of purchaso, exact ing of such a sufficient bond to protect tho government. In othor words, make eacli of such bonded hanks a sub-treas ury, under ®ich rules and regulations as will protect tlio people and tbo govern ment. It would not do for the government to go to tlie enormous expense of building warehouses anil grain elevators. Instead, let tlio warehouses for tlie storage of cotton bo also bonded. Tills could be done easily and with safoty to tho gov ernment. Require such warehousemen to carry insurance, to properly weigh and classify the cotton, and to bo direct ly responsible on their bond for false classification or weights. Tlie cotton receipts of such a warehouse would he accepted by tho bank; and thus wo have a simple method of transacting busi ness, without tlio intervention of an army of official locusts, and without disturbing tlio usual course of crude. Whenever a sufficient quantity of cotton is brought to market, there is a suitable warehouse which could ho utilized under this plan; when tlie business will warrant there i» or would lie a safo hank; so that the points of location for tho sub-treasuries and bonded warehouses would he the natural trade centres; and there is no reason why at each of thoso there might not ho both a bonded bank and a bonded warehouse. Where the cotton receipts and sales aro rarge enough to warrant, thore might ho selected two or more warehouses, as ipany indeed as the wants of this trade mado necessary. This would not interfere with the large amount of capital invested in this busi ness over tho country; but would bene fit. It would stimulate tho production of bettor gradoss of cotton, would give the noeded relief, and would furnish it through tho usual channels of trade. Abundant precedents in principle already exist for a schemo of this sort. Old Time Fabmeii. The Constitution thinks that there is a cat in Brother Blaine's reciprocity moal tub; for it says: “Tho sanguine persons who boliove that reciprocity is freo trade, should study tho mat ter from Brother Blaine’s stand point. Roal reciprocity Is freo trade, but Brother Blaine has taken pains to make his reciprocity os different from the genuine article as poasiblo.” She Was Willing to alvo up All.
