Col. C. B. Wooten is prominently spoken of for congress in the second dis trict, since lion. H; G. Turner has been redistricted. It may be said in this same connection that Judge J.

Virtuous little Hilly Chandler of New Hampshire, who helped steal the electoral votes of Florida for Hayes is very much wrought up because every body “with a pull” rides free on the New England railroads. He says: “Cor ruption by free passes and mileage tickets is almost universal.” Congressman Jerry Simpson said nothing about the People’s party when he was making specclios in this state, but in an interview in Washington the other day lie declared the south was ripe for a break to that party. Isn’t Jerry a little too enthusiastic in his statement about this mattor.

Six years ago this summer the railroads of Georgia agreed to pay $25,000 in a certain quarter if the rail road commission bill were killed. To day we find the representative of the greatest system in the south advocating a national commission.

The ranch of Nelson Morris, compris ing 300,000 acres, on which no rain had falleu for six weeks, was chosen for the trial. This is a vast prairie, over which the winds are continually sweeping. There a shed was built, in which the oxyhydrogen gas was made and the bal loon inflated. Three classes of experi ments were made. One was the explo sion on the earth of giant powder and rend-rock bombs; the second of sending to a lofty height large cloth kites, heavi ly loaded with dynamite cartridges. These were exploded by an electric cur rent sent to them through the wire used instead of a kite string. The third was by balloons charged .with oxyhydrogen gas, exploded at a height of 5,000 feet. A copious rain followed close after the first explosion; it continued several hours over a large area. Four other ex periments were made, and were attended by similar results.—Manufacturers Rec ord. Ol'R * ELATION* WITH CHILI. It cannot he said that Mr. Blaine has managed our affairs in Chili with pro found sagacity. It looks very much as if some mistakes have been made that will cost this country dearly. The whole lulluence of our government from the beginning of the war in Chili until its close was against the party that is victo rious There is therefore a very bitter feeling in that country against Ameri cans. It is so bitter that American com merce will likely suffer on account of it. At no time does the state department seem to have had correct information of THE GOLDEN TIDE SET IN. All signs point to a prosperous year in the United States. In truth, the golden tide has set our way, and France and Germany are repleting our treasuries with the money that was shipped to Europe last winter. The notable events of commerce during the past week were the shipment of $2,500,000 gold from France and Germany to this country, the continued and convincing evidence that Europe will buy our surplus pro ducts at good prices; the raising, by Germany, of the embargo on pork, and he married the girl and started ; pulqmj plantation.

W(iat is the matter with the Enquirer- Sun that it is not acquainted with its own state, and more especially with the people of the metropolis of Southwest ern Georgia, which distinction Americus proudly claims and sustains. The Hotel Windsor is a native born Georgia name. It is a name that lias dune much for Americus, and especially has it been connected witli the erection of our magnificent new hotel. The ‘'Hotel Windsor” is named in honor of Mr. John Windsor, cashier of tlie People’s National Hank of Americus, secretary and treasurer of the Americus Improvement Company, which has built the hotel, and in many other ways con- Wrt ^ Ie Azt^.

This country, by its course in the recent struggle there,has lost more in Chili than Blaine's reciprocity policy is likely to gain in that country in a century.— Savannah News. “CLAIM EVERYTHING." And now the McKinleyites are shout ing that the recent advance in wheat and cotton is due to the McKinley bill, in stead of to tlie true causes of a short European grain crop and a 20 per cent, damage to tlie southern co'tnn crop.

Even such foreign journals as The London Statist takes this view of the sit uation, and predicts a wonderfully pros perous yaar for the United States.—Au gusta Chronicle. Benjamin Einstein, the assignee of Abraham Backer, declares that though ho has had much to do with bankrupt estates, he has never had anything to do with any other one that puzzled him so much as this oue of Backer. And he lias been compelled to ask the court to grant him more time in which to become better acquainted with Hacker’s affairs. Backer failed for $4,000,000, and yet the assignee lias found only $250,000. More than $3,000,000 lias gone somewhere, but where ? That is the question that is puzzling the assignee aud Backer's creditors. And tlie queerest fact of the whole business is that Backer can give no account of the vast amount of property that ought to be in his hands. At least he says he cannot, but it is bard to convince people that his ignorance is genuine. The banks were wonderfully deceived in Backer. A month or so before his fail ure he could have obtained almost any amount from them without other secur ity than his own indorsement. Accord ing to the showing which the assignee makes, however, ho must have beeu in solvent for years. A GOOD COLLEGE. Attention is called to tho advertise ment of Southwest Georgia Agricultural and Military College atCutbbert, Ga., of which Col. L. \V. Haskell is president. The college will be run regardless of the action of the legislature, as the prep aration already made was until January, 1892. The inpidental fee is $5 per term, or $10 for a year. This is a good school, and has been patronized by a good many Sumter county people to their profit and satis faction. Gen. Harris of West Virginia, who it appears was a member of tlie court martial that condemned Mrs. Surratt to death, is preparing for publication a history of the war in which he makes tho charge that Jefferson Davis and .certaiu members of the Confederate Cabinet were aware of and encouraged the assassination of Abraham Lincoln. It is evident that tho enemies and the slanderers of tho dead President of tho Confederacy are determined to pursue him even beyond the grave, but not a single man in this country, or in Europe, who has the slightest acquaintance with the life or character of Jefferson Davis will believe for a moment that he had any knowledge of or wa9 In the remotest degree connected witli the foul plot to assassinate Lincoln. It must bo that this Gen. Harris, who was a party to the hanging of Mrs. Surratt, knows in his own heart that the military court that sent tlie unfortunate and innocent wo man to an ignominious death upon the j gallows was guilty of the most damna ble murder ever committed under the forms of law, consequently as a member there cor- tbat coult he endeavors to shield him- ton.

It is almost impossible lot people who are suffering, or who dread the approach of suffering, by reason ol poor harvests in their own lands, to bear of our American harvests without feel, ing impelled to fly to the land of plenty; and this impulse has recently been almost overwhelming in the minds ol millions.

Ol’R wiregrass neighbor, the Jfcllae Enterprise, sees things in a plain light when it says: “The legislature is cost ing the taxpayers of Georgia about $1,500 per day; therefore, the three days spent in rioting, quarreling and fussing about the soldiers’ homo cost the state $4,500.

Livingston is diilicult to comprehend. Neither of them has any information re specting railroads that is valuable, and what they would say would, iu all prob ability, still further weaken confidence in railroad property.” The agreement between Russia and Turkey whereby the vessels of the volunteer llect of the former power are to be permitted to pass at will through the Dardenelles, together with the dis- postion of France to support the agree ment aud the demand for the evacuation of. Egypt by British troops, has aroused England and for the time being there is a small war cloud hovering over the horizon of £urope. The European powers have long been in a fair way to have a row and the sooner it is over tlie better it will be for that part of the globe.

Jones of New York, after discovering that it was impossible for him to get tho Democratic nomination for Governor of that state, has decided to run as an Independent. There will, however, be a very small following be hind the Jones banner, and when the votes are counted the chilling winds of defeat will whistle through his waving whiskers. The Republicans may imag ine that Jones’ candidacy as an Inde pendent will divide the Democrats, but they will discover their error. our postoffiee department did make a contract witli a spoliationist for postal cards, which cards were fit only for blotting paper.

The government of these countries will have to provide some methods by which the people can have enough to eat, or there will be grave troubles this fall in Europe. Starving men never reason and never listen to reason. They must have and will have, for tlie rule has come down for ages, either bread or blood. There is plenty of breadstuff in America, and it is very likely that Uncle Jerry Rusk’s effort to introduce corn-bread into Ger many and Russia instead of rye bread will prove successful to a greater degree than anticipated. The Sea Island Gottou report of Hen ry \V. Frost & Co., of Charleston, and Savannah, issued Sept. 5, contains some interesting information upon tlie Sea Island crop.

Tlie fact that Green was tSrned out of a first-class hotel in Cincinnati, shows very plainly that tho whito people of Ohio have no inclina tion to dine with negroes, or recognize them as social equals. Jones of Binghamptiou says he does not Intend to run for governor of New York on an independent ticket. Tho News never believed lie would.

The Legislature cacnot make up its mind to adjourn finally on tlie 18th.
