They've got a bad case of that tired feeling which the new ballot laws seem to have produced ou Republicans the country over. Some startling developments arc promised by the N’orthcn faction of the Alliance in the state convention, and it will he interesting t ceediugs if that portion of it is give out. A CONNEt rirr i woman who had been four times a widow, although only, ill years of age, took her fifth husband last week. Tlie pres, is divided over the question of which is the braver of the t wo. Kansas, it is said, has harvested 00,- 000,000 bushels of wheat and will gather into its plethoric garners 250,000,000 bushels of coni.

The Augusta Clirouicle, in a recent issue, has the fullnwing com|>rehcnslve summary of the financial situation, as jiertains to the amount of money in clr- culatlou: We have no doubt that the country needs more money per caj-lfa than tlie amount in circulation, hut if we are to believe the officials of the I'uited States treasury, whose business it is to know tlie actual circulation, an l who must know better than the picayune jiolitl- clan who mouths mischief among the j>eo|de about the baneful effects of con traction of tlie currency, the volume of money in circulation is larger than it lias been in the history of the govern ment A short time since a statement was jiulilished from tlie treasury department at Washington, covering the amount of money in circulation for a period of thirty-one years. We recur to It now because of the numerous aud oft-rcjieatcu assertions of jdace-lmuters and office holders, who are running with and in juring the farmers by their ignorant and malicious tirades about the evils of watch the ro I contraction, when as a matter of fact w.i c i it pro | jj iere j );Ui j, een a steady iuciease and not a decrease of tlie currency. The statement of the treasury depart meut gives tlie amounts of money lu cir dilation on the first of July in tho years In If I, 1805, Inn!) and 1891. Tho com jiarisons given show that not only the total volume but the amount per cajdta have gone on increasing during tlie |ieriod. It appears that the amount of money in circulation in 1N(!0 was about <14:15,000,000, and tlie amouut jier capita was $15.85. in 1805 there was 872:1,000,000 in circulation, and the jier capita amount was 820.82. Twenty years later tho cir culation w as over <1,202,000,000, aud the jier capita was 823.02, while on January 1 last the amount was 81,520,000,000, ■mgs. The rainfall expedition that lias been experimenting at Midland, Tex., claims to have succeeded twice iu bringing down rain. Ten hours after tlie explo sinus clouds gathered and rain fell in abundance, “the tivst good raiu in sev eral months.” Two aeronauts who jumped from bal loons with parachutes were killed Sat urday. One was a man named Johnson, at Tacoma, Wash., the other a girl, An nie Harkies, who fell near Cincinnati. The only wonder is that such accideuts arc not more frequent. Ex-Czar Reed declares himself for Mr. Mills, of Texas, in the speakership race. No doubt lie sincerely liojies to sec Mills, who would prove an utter fail ure, as ills successor. Tlie contrast would verily make a very great mau of the cx-sjicaker.—Ilirmingliam Nows. Because of his promise that lion. Pat Calhoun shall be governor of Georgia next term, Col. John Temple Graves is being somowhat berated by tlie press of the state. These rtbahl writers should be careful. Col. Graves may lie little, but he is loaded and set on a hair trig ger. Ilis nom-de-guerre may yet lie ‘‘Your Uncle Warwick.”—“Old 81." The Louisville Courier-Journal ex presses the opinion that wlieu tlie ad ministration conics to think of it steps will be taken to discourage rain-making by exploding dynamite iu tlie clouds, because if the Democrats discover that the tests arc successful,they will explode several hundred pounds of dynamite in each of the doubtful states on election day and produce a down-pour of raiu that will keep the Republican voters away from the polls. The sly Uerncr of Monroe was as quiet as an antediluvian tombstone on the stay law bill until the result of the Alliance caucus on the subject was known; and the next morning ‘‘the champion of the down-trodden measure” introduced the following resolution: "Resolved by the house of representatives of Georgia, That it is tbo sense of the house that the passage of a stay law would be unwise and would be detrimental to the best interests of the state." Thebe is every reason in the world to look for lively times in the near fu ture. Tho biggest wheat crop ever grown In this country by probably 25,- 000,000 bushels, and the indications are that it will be sold for the blggeat price ever realized. Besides this, all other crops are good, fine in fact, aud the measure of our harvests promises to be full, pressed down and running over. Our exports will be immense. Money galore is coming into the country, and will bring good times with it. Look out for tho boom! with <24,10 as the per cajiita allowance, tlie highest ill tlie history of the United States. Owing to sliijoneiits of gold to percentage of earn-1 foreign countries there lias been a dc- 1 cliue since January 1, 1891, not only in tlie per cajiita amount, but the total cir culation on tlie 1st inst., noUvitstnndlng the overflow of gold, was about 81,300,- 000,000, and tho amount jier capita was 823.37. Tlie condition here referred to, however, is not a permanent one, aud the statistics of circulation at tlie end of tlie year will doubtless show a contin uance of tlie increase which lias been temporarily checked. It is true that the national hank circu lation continues to decline, but the total amount of all kinds of money in circula tion continues to increase. We learn from llradstrcet's that the twelve months since August 1 of last year witnessed a decline of about 817,000,000 in tho vol ume of national bank notes. On the other band, the total circulation was in creased by over 808,000,000. Of this in creased circulation over 832,500,000 con sisted of gold coin. There was an in crease of nearly $3,500,000 in subsidary sil.-cr. There was a falling off in tho volume of gold certificates amounting to about 810,700,000. Silver ccrtlflcates, on tho other hand, show an increase of about 88,500,000. About 84:1,000,000 of treasury notes were issued under the act of July 14, 1$!X). Tlie total circula tion of all kinds on August 1 amounted to $1,500,023,812. The amount of money in circulation is 824 per capita with a total circulation of $1,500,000,000. We see no reason why the total should not lie $3,000,000,- 000, or a per capita circulation of <50, but people who understand finance and commerce tell us that it is not ctrcula tion but credit that does the business of the country. In other words, that 90 per cent of the business of the United States is done on credit by means of checks and exchango. So that it is not more money In circulation that the peo ple need, but more confidence and more credit But, as we have said, we have no doubt that tlie country needs more money, but how are we of the south to obtain this money from the government? What have we to give in return for it? It la chimerical to think that the govern ment will lend lta money on cotton, oorn, wheat, oata, tobacco and land. The idea is misleading and the hope la deln- aive. As a matter of fact It is not more money in circulation that the people need, but more confldence and more credit, more honesty and more private and public faith. The government must be restored to first principles, and the people of the South must stand like a stone wall against all the innovations of socialism and communism that would pervert it into a paternal government, destroying the liberty of the citizen and the rights of the states. Tho government can bo best administered and ttn prosperity of the people soonest restored by the return to jiowcr of the Democratic party. SIIIIIE -BOODLE" WANTED. Tlie complaint usual in the first weeks of a camjiaign, that money is badly needed and that it is coming in very slowly, is now, heard from Ohio. Maj, McKinley is rejiorted to be In great need of money, and those expected to furnish it are said not to be exhibiting the proper measure of liberality. There is, of course, more or less strat egy in this. It is put out to stimulate tlie liberality of the classes from whom corruption funds must come. The fa mous “fat-frying letter” of three years ago was provoked by tlie slowness with which contributions came in at the be ginning of the campaign. It takes more or less pressure to make the lienefici- arles of class legislation give up a por tion of their gains. It is well-known that gratitude is a somewhat feeble in centive to action; so much so that a sa tirist has defined tliat moving force which commonly jiasses for gratitude as "a lively anticipation of favors to come.” j There is, indeed, a special reason this year why tlie manufacturers should lie somewhat slow in making contributions. When flic McKinley bill was passed they wero confidently assured that tlie tariff question was settled for ten years to come at the very least, because it would not he possible within that time to rejieal or material!)- to alter the law. This was grateful intelligence to the protected classes, who naturally ex jiectcd that tlie exactions for jiarty ex penses would thereafter bo less ouerous. It was, indeed, suggested at tlie time by tho Democratic press that these assur ances were imprudent, and that they would he rctractcdjwlicn tlie time for fat- frying should come around again. This jirediction is uow on tlie point of ful filment. It is necessary that the jirutectcd man iifacturcrs shall be roused from the security into which they wore lulled by the assurance that the McKinley hill was safe from rejieal before the close of the contury. That this will be done admits of no doubt, hut some time will be neces sary to accomjdlsh it. The ndmissiou will have to he made that tlie statement that the tariff question was scttleU for ten yenrs was too sanguine. Tills may he a j.ainful thing to do, hut there seems no way to avoid it. It will be urged, of course, with a certain degree of plausibility, that it was im|>ossiblo to foresee thejtremeudous explosion of jiojnilar wrath that followed the jiassage of the great monopoly tariff act of 1S90, and that tlie loss of the house and the reduction of the Republican majority in the senate have greatly changed the as pect of political affairs. The manufac turers will now ho assured that there Is imminent danger that the wicked free traders will sweep the country and cap ture botli tlie presidency and the sonatc, thus sweeping away at one fell swoop all tlie rewards granted to the men who furnished tlie money to buy the election of 1888, The protected classes will now be told that as “crowns bought with blood must be by blood maintained,” so elections carried by boodle must bo fol lowed by the expenditure of more boodle to preserve their fruits. Accordingly, we may expect the monopolists to re spond again to the call for money, and to mako themselves whole, wherever it is possible, by reducing the wages of their emjiloyes, or Imjiorting cbeaji workmen from abroad. HOW TO SHORTEN THE SESSIONS. The Savannah News, in discussing the question of shortening the sessions of the legislature in the future, handles the subject in this manner: The committee of the legislature, to w*hich was referred the various bills for shortening tlie sessions of that body, has made a rejiort to the effect that none of the plans projiosed iu tlie bills would ac complish the object desired. The com mittee says that the greater part of the time of the legislature is takeu up with special and local legislation, aud that the only way to get rid of this kind of legis lation is to amend the constitution. The attention of the legislature time and time again has been called to the fact that the state was being put to great expense for legislation that should lie provided for by a few general laws. There are hundreds of local bills intro duced wldch deal with matters which could he attended to much more intelli gently and to much better advantage by county commissioners and municipal authorities. Assuming that the committee, to which tlie hills iu question were refer red, lias given tlie matter thorough con sideration, and has pointed out the one way in which the legislature can lie re lieved of its unnecessary burden, a hill should be introduced and passed at once providing for submitting to tlie jieojde such a constitutional amendment as is required. There is no excuse for de lay. Tho jnesent legislature will cost the jicojdc many thousands of dol lars more tliau it ought to, aud there is no good reason why the jieojde for years to come should he subjected to a heavy annual exjicnse that is wholly iinueces- sary. Now that it is known just what ought to be done, let tlie legislature see that it is dono jiromptly. The members owe it to their constituents to introduce econo my wherever it can be introduced with out injury to the public interests. It was said when this legislature was elected, being an Alliance legislature, that business would be attended to so strictly that the session would be a short one. It was even said that the legisla ture would get to work before day and would not adjourn until after dark. Of course anybody having a reasonable amount of common sense knew- that such talk was nonsense. This legislature is like its predecessors. It is neither bet ter nor worse. It doesn't weary itself with work, ami iu tlie matter of its cost to tlie state it promises to break the record. This from the Chattanooga Times is The prompt action of the majority of rather tougii ou tho memory of L. C. ' the Alliaucc members of the Legislature Houk as well as tho fame of tlie sou who aspires to succeed him in congress: “It was hardly necessary to tell tlie jieojde that the Repnblicans of tlie second con gressional district of Tennessee 'do not take to religious men'—that is, good men, clean men. They at instinctively dislike a gentleman in politics up there as a Five Pointa tough detests s refined man, who wears clean Unen, reputable raiment and polished shoes. Psst history demonstrates these fadto, and it wasn't necessary to proclaim the troth to the humiliation of our esteemed neighbors.” in stamping out the iniquitous stay law ere it was nurtured into living exist ence, entities that jiatriotic body to the ajqilause of the entire commonwealth of Georgia. Now, one more act and the good deed can be recorded. Let tho Alliance see to it that their fire is not stolen from them by the overburdened Solons who are on the alert to get on the winning side of every issue of the hour. No, this is an Alliance victory, planned by an Alliance caucus, and won by an Alliance majority. The mug wumps were not in it. WHY COTTON IS LOW. One explanation of tlie low prices for cotton, in addition to that of tlie unex pectedly large crop, is the depression in those manufacturing sections of Europe whicli use most of our cotton, caused by the prohibition of imported goods to the United States from these districts from the operstion of tho McKinley bill. The manufacturing districts of Ger many, which use more cotton than any continent;,! country, are now in a bad way, and ruin stares them in the face, because the McKinley bill virtually pro hibit! the importation of thoir goods into the United States. Hence they can't buy our cotton because they are cut off from this market for their pro ducts. The idea of the McKinley bill is to de stroy these foreign manufacturers and increase the building up of others in this country to take their placet; a fine theory, bat one that will rain the civilized world before tho change is made. Experience in the past has shown us that when imports from abroad are easy our surplus crops are more easily and profitably exported. When we block our Imports it is only with the greatest difficulty that we succeed in getting rid of our surplus products. The Individual who has settled down to the belief that Yolapuk has become one of the dead languages will have to unsettle himself. The North American Volapukists have just closed a success ful meeting at Chautauqua, N. Y. The executive session was entirely in Yola- puk, and three Interesting lectures were delivered In the satno lively lingo. The climax of the occasion was reached, how ever, when Madame Belle Cole, tlie Bos ton prlnia donna, puckered up her pretty mouth and sang a Yolapuk edition of the “Star Spangled Banner" before 5,000 people in the great amphitheatre. Yolapuk will continue to amuse more or less idle people for awhile longer. The Furiow Brothers,who have made a brilliant success of the Madisonian, offer that Journal for sale. It is one of the beet weekly newspapers in the state. WHY PEOPLE GET MARRIED. Though It is very common to reproach old bachelors with their celibacy, and to pity old maids as if single blessedness were a misfortune, yot many married people havo seen fit to offer ajiologies for haring entered into what some profane wag lias called the “holy bands of pad lock.” One man says lie got married to get a housekeeper, another to get rid of bad company. Many women declare they got married for tbc sake of a home; few acknowledge that their motive was to get a husband. Goethe averred that he got married in order to be “respectable.” John Wilkes said he took a wife “to jilvase his friend.” Wycherly, who csjiouseii his housemaid, said lie did it to "spite his relations.” A widow who married a second hus band said she wanted somebody to con dole witli her for the loss of her first, Another because she thought a wedding would “amuse tlie children.” Another, to get rid of Incessant importunity from a crowd of suitors. Old maids who get married invariably assure their friends that they thought they could bo “more useful" as wives than as spinsters. Nevertheless Quilp gives it as his opinion that nine-tenths of all persons who marry, whether wid ows or widowers, spinsters or bachelors, do so for the sake of—gutting married. TO REDUCE EXPENSES. The Alliance people of Macon county are strongly opposed to the oounty court, and are making an effort to have itabollahed. By investigation it has been discovered that the court’s ex penses amount to about $1,100 a year. The people contend that the business can be done in the superior court for $500. Hence the more to abolish the county court. Mayob Hemphill was severely criti cised by the pastors and prominent church members of Atlanta,for allowing street car work to be done on Sunday, and eapecially severe was the mayor’s own chnrch, Trinity Methodist, on his unchristian like conduct,as they termed It Tho mayor has always beon a staunch Methodist,and has given most liberally of his time, talents and moans to the support of his church. Last Sun day there was a vacant scat in Trinity. Mayor Hemphill attended tlie First Baj>- tist, Dr. Hawthorne's churcii.and found comfort in this divine's kindly exjircs- sions of him as a Christian gentleman and city official. Would It not have been better for Mayor Hemjibill'achurch to have temporized. Some men can be lead but not driven, Advere criticism from one’s own cuts deep. And it msy be that th-i Methodists will lose Mr. Hemphill. To err 1s human, to forgive divine. A CIVIL PENSION LIST There is a movement on foot In the de partment at Washington which may re sult in relieving the government of a rather serious burden in au unexpected manner, and, at the same time, dispose of a jierjilexing question. The burden consists of the large number of clerks who are too aged to be of much practical service, and who have been in the serv ice so long that heads of dejiartments are loth to discharge them. Thus tliey have become in a measure civil pension ers. Postmaster General Wanamaker projiosed to congress that employes who bad arrived at a certain age should be retired with an allowance of one year’s pay. But congress did not act on the suggestion. The plan which the clerks tLemselves are agitating is that an assessment of one per cent, on the salaries of all the clerks shall be levied for the purpose of retir ing those who have been iu service thir ty years on three-quarters pay. It has beeu ascertained that there are seventy- five men in the public service who would be retired under an act embodying this jilan, which congress will be petitlcued to jiass. There is another projiosition to lie added jvroviding for the retirement of all clerks of a certain age—say 85 years. This would swell the jiensiuu roll large ly. There were fifty of that age iu the jiostoffice department alone at tlie time Mr. Wanamaker took charge of it. Oue clerk iu that department died last year who had been iu service seventy years. Tlie only apparent objection to this scheme is that it might prove the enter ing wedge to tlie establishment in the future of an extensive system of civil jiensions. Lot the projiosed plan be adopted and tlie government would in fact be paying the department clerks 99 jier cent of their jircsent salaries and jiensions to a considerable number of re tired clerks. This aspect of the case would become more ajqiareut after the jnesent clerks and consenting jiarties to the plan should have passed off' the stage, and others who had had no voice ill the matter should have taken'their jilaces. THE WHEAT FLURRY- It would seem that tlie cxjiericnce of tlie last tifteeu or sixteen months would protect tlie people of this country against any recurrence of the speculative fever. The scarcity of money has been caused chiefly by overmuch sjieculation, aud the following collapse. The lesson has been a severe oue, and it ought to lie taken to heart, but it appears not to have been by everybody. For some days it has been evident that the speculators were going to take edarge of the wheat market, and con duct things to please themselves. This promise has been amply fulfilled. Yesterday the excitement iu the Chica go grain pit began.Prices advanced with a rapidity sufficient to take away the breath of slow and thoughtful meu. Ev- erytliing favored the bulls, aud the bears were gored to death. At such a time the holders of wheat should not forget their caution. All of this flurry is due to the fact that Europe is exjiected to take nearly, if not quite, 200,000,000 bushels of wheat from the United States. But that was known a week, two weeks, three, four weeks ago, and there is no reason why jieople should lose their beads now over it any more than they did then. It is probable that the wheat situation in Ameriea and Europe will justify an advance, but it should come gradually, and not in this explosive manner. ABOUT COTTON. It is an interesting question, whether the present low price of cotton is owing to ovor-productlon or general stagnation of trade. If the latter, there may be hope for better prices before the new crop is brought to market. But there seem to be good reasons for believing that the former Is the real cause. Last year’s crop, which has not yet all been marketed, will reach 8,750,000 bales, the largest ever raised, and the growing crop, it Is estimated, will be equally as great. It may be true that the world needs all the cotton in sight, but when the staple Is so abundant the world can get It at iu own figures, and proposes to do so. At any rate, it would not be wise on the part of the producer to hold the new orop, anticipating a rise in prices. Senator Butler In his able speech at Prosperity, S. C., a few days ago, said: “Another stop I would take to the settle ment of the ‘unevenness’ Is this: Pat ton sores of cotton to the mule for three years. Let farmers do this and they will have the world at their feet They would bo then the most prosperous peo ple od the globe." Of course his plan is sensible and correct, and tho farmers by concert of action could mako of it as signal a success as they did of their light against the jute trust.—Advortlscr, The Republicans say the New York Importers will send $500,000 to Ohio to beat McKinley. - If they do, It will only offset tbs corruption fund raised by tbs manufacturers to elect him. Of such Is American-politic*. The continued hot spell is explained ou the ground that Uncle Jerry Rusk is taking holiday. He is at his farm in Wisconsin ami has left the weather bu reau to subordinates, who seem to have let the thing get out of shape. The threatened bread famine in Europe will open up a market for many bushels of American wheat despite the McKinley blU. Sixtt vacancies at West Point are yawning for - ambitious youngsters who want to cultivate the arts of war and poker. “AS GOOD AS GOLD." In reply to the statement that j D “the country was in a high state 0 ( ** perity, and money as good as plenty," The Constitution very *“ nently asks: Why was the country^ perous at that time ? Because jj'* dition to the proper development „< * material resources, our fiuaucial tr suited the wants of our people, aw* "" adapted to the expanding business oftk country. It was so localized that a j men in Wall street could not get i ( " der their control. “Plenty of money as good as gold The currency was not United'tat treasury notes, nor national bank —It was the issue of local banks ot ized under state laws. This money * expanded or contracted in obedience ts the laws of demand and supply. Back a by local wealth, It had local confident answered local needs, and stood in iuck good repute that the notes of some the banks circulated at par, even,, Canada, and at times, for convenience commanded a premium over gold. This currency, the best that the con t . try ever had, was outlawed as a measure iu-the interest of Wall jilutocrats, who had the governmentby tlie throat, aud from that day to this financial system has beeu contracted u a few men who have It in their power to regulate values, make good times hard times, and keep the entire country at their mercy. This Is too big a couutry to he con- trolled iu its financial matters by Wall street. We need a great many money centers instead of only one. Tlie differ ent sections and commercial and induv jrial divisions of the country with their diversified Interests,need their own local or home currency. It is well, occasionally, to turn hack to the past for n lesson—a lamp of ex perience that will guide our footsteps. MISSISSIPPI’S NEW CONSTITUTION* The Pittsburg Chronicle-Telegraph lias the following concerning the opera tion of the new constitution in Missis, sippl: It is Interesting to observe how- the polltax rovlded for under the new constitution m Mississippi works. Late •'-rnuuls ioj-oj;; hat less thnu one-fourth the colored voter* inve paid their poll taxes. In the connlie. wli-re tlie colored population is largest, not more Until a fifth, aud ill some or them not more than u tenth, of tliecolored voters Lav, reulstered, From the present state of tlie registration, It seems that the white majori ty this year Is likely to be l",ooo or 2),(0 greater than tlie entire number of colored vote* registered. A small percentage of the white voters will also tie disfranchised, but the unwillingness or Inability of the negroei to pay the poll tax will leave the whiles wilt a majority greater than any one could have anticipated. This is the first reference to the Mis sissippi constitution, or anything of x political nature. In the south that has ajipeared recently in the Chronicle-Tele graph, not tinctured with prejudice, but the facts given here doesn’t seem to have offered any ground for the usual animadverting on the practice of the southern whites. If the negro cares so little about voting that he won’t take the trouble to regis ter, it argues his incapacity as a citizen. His refusal to pay poll tax is further jiroof that he feels uo interest In the public welfare. Iu fact the workings of tlie new Miss issippi constitution has turned on the light and made an exhibition of the ne gro as a citizen that his northern ad mirers had not exjiected. A NEW, FRESH JOKE. One of the funniest jokes yet got off by “Old SI,” the waggish editor of the Atlanta Herald, la Uis defense of the Democracy of Judge Sjieer, against the statement of The Times-Recobder that he was appointed by President Arthur because he wae a “renegade Democrat." Old SI should brush up on political history, and conault with Senator Col quitt, who fought Judge Sjieer’s con firmation so vigorously, and which was only accomplished by a scratch, the Democrats voting against the' “rene gade,” as they called him, almost solid ly, with the exception of Senator Brown and possibly one other; while a few Re publicans couldn't swallow him on ac count of the “freshness” of his conver sion. If Judge Speer was n Simon-pore Democrat when appointed, bow is it that he isnow a dyed-ln the-wool Re publican? Did this conversion take place from Democracy to Republicanism os a consequence of tho appointment, or was the appointment In consequence of his previous conversion? or perhaps the Herald still regards Judge Speer ss s Democrat? The political policy of The New York Times will not be changed because of the death of the late editor. Mr. Jones son, who has long been an active worker on the paper, has succeeded to the con trol and will coutinue It an earnest ad vocate of tariff reform. With Cottrell, Burrow and Murray out of the way, there is a good opening f° r some other desperado who wishes to die with his boots on. ‘Despise not the day of small things. the tiny pill taken from a vial of Dl l’ierce's Pleasant Purgative Pellets, •*“ to the 300-pound man, suffering fro B Indigestion.
