The rain makers have tried their
dynamite at Birmingham. Thero wasn’t
any rain, but as the explosion occurred
on the ground, instead of in the air,
there were some narrow escapes cm the
part of the spectators.
In Savannah the beautiful asphalt
pavements have driven traffic from somo
of the cobble-stone thoroughfares onto
their own hard, smooth surfaces. This
may tend to change cjuiet residence
streets into highways of trade, but it
speaks volumes for the acceptability of
this class of paving.
Col. A. O. Bacon is a graduate of
the State University and has always been
one of its most enthusiastic supporters.
He is a gentleman of recognized ability
and prominence, and Gov. Northen’s
judgment in selecting him as the succes
sor of Judge Gresham on the board of
trustees will receive public endorsement
of the heartiest sort.—Chronicle.
The Macon fair was a big success.
Everybody speaks words of praise of the
exhibits, and many pronounce the dis
play the fiuest and most extensive ever
seen at a fair in Georgia. Central Park
in Macon*is the place to hold a fair, aud
Macon knows how to get up a fair. The
Central City is to be congratulated on
her magnificent effort aud splendid sue
cess.
John Wanamakek says: “1 don’t
care whether tariffs are high or low in
trade. I buy and sell to suit my custom
ers. I have always sought the open
markets of the world to cater to my
trade, and always will,” And this causes
the Detroit Free Press to remark: “He
is evidently a relative of the man who,
when he was asked if he was a Democrat
or a Republican, replied, ‘Neither; I aiu
in the clothing business.’ ”
The fire fiend is still getting in its
work. From all over the country the
wires flash fire, fire. The magnificent
opera house, the Vcndome, was burned
in Nashville Friday. The stockade at
Briceville, Tennessee, was burned Fri
day night, releasing three hundred and
fifty convicts. Cotton fires are reported
from all over the South. The unprece
dented droughth ii probably the cause of
such an unu&ua! number of fires. Every
thing is as dry as powder, and needs
only the least friction to set it off.
THE RESULTS.
Returns from the states in which elec
tions were held yesterday show’ Demo
cratic victories in almost every quarter
New V«»rk, Massachusetts, Pennsylva
nia and Iowa have certainly gone Demo
cratic by increased majorities.
In New York Flower lias carried the
city by about 00,000. It is the Demo
cratic majority in the city which the Re
publicans have to overcome by the ma
jority in the state at large; and it is on
this that they always base their hopes.
Yesterday’s election, while giving the
Democrats a large increase in the city,
shows heavy Republican losses in the
country.
The Republicans, after losing in New
York city, have 'sadly failed in their
hopes of making up by the vote which
meets the usual Democratic majority
from the counties beyond the Harlem
river; and Flower has scored an over
whelming victory by probably 0,000.
The causes of this Waterloo have
national significance. The Republican
nominee, Fassett, is the man whom liar-
rison put upon the convention and who
was distinctively the candidate o/ Boss
Platt. The failure of the Republicans to
stand by the deal, and their desertion to
the Democratic tanks, shows that Har
rison lias lost his grip, and that the elec
toral vote of New York state is doubt
less lost to him in the next presidential
Republican convention. This will force
that party to look elsewhere for a can
didate; and brings Blaine, willing or un
willing, to the front as the man who can
arouse most enthusiasm in his party,
and best hold together the republican
vote; and whatever deal he may have
had with Harrison will be broken by the
outside pressure which the New York
election shows will be brought to bear.
In Massachusetts Governor Russell
has won hv from 0,000 to 5,000 majority.
Tho same state of affairs exists there as
in New York,Boston and largo cities giv-
iug in most elections heavy democratic
majorities, which the country districts
meot by corresponding republican ma
jor! tes, Boston has given Russell an
increased majority; and the country, in
stead of standing to the republicans as
usual, has entirely failed to come up to
their expectations.
One of the most significant features
of the campaign in Massachusetts is that
Nahant, the birthplace of Cabot Lodge
of force bill fame, has gone democratic
by a good majority for the first time in
its history; it having heretofore been a
republican stronghold.
The returns from Ohio are slow’, the
Australian ballot system being in full
force all aver the state, and making it
impossible to get anything like accurate
reports last night.
The R epublicans arc confidently bet
ting on McKinley; and the Democrats
still claiming the stato for Campbell.
The disaffection of tho working men at
tho McKinley tariff has been largely
counted on by the Democrats; but how
far this disaffection lias gone, it is im
possible to say until the full vote has
been rounded up, and the result made
known. Returns show gains on both
sides, hut at a late hour last night the
vote was coining in very slowly even
from the city, and tho result will proba
bly not be know n fully before this morn
ing.
Tho Democrats have probably carried
Pennsylvania.
For tho second time the state has
gone Democratic, and tho Republican
majority of nearly one hundred thous
and has boon overcome, though Phila
delphia maintained a Republican majori
ty of 15,000, while tho Democrats gained
steadily all over the state, and have w on
by several thousand. The Republican
campaign leaders had hoped that the
memory of tho Quay Delemater scan
dals would die out after a time; hut the
renewed defeat has show’ll them that
fraud is not so easily forgotten. This
is an off year in Pennsylvania; hut tho
election is an indication for 1802, and it
was on this account tint so much inter
est was taken in the vote.
In Iowa Boies, the democratic nomi
nee, has made an increased gain, and
fairly brought the state into tho demo
cratic ranks. Tae Iowa election was
complicated by the introduction of the
prohibition question, the democrats sid
ing as a class with the Georgia idea of
local option. The full democratic ticket
lias been elected, and the democrats are
confirmed in their last victory by an in
creased majority.
In New York Tammany is making pre
parations for an enthusiastic celebration
of a victory which belong peculiarly to
that organization.
From the first the fight has been made
on it as the leading feature of the cam
paign; and the endorsement of the state
lias confirmed its reputation as the home
of true Democratic principles.
SOLID SOUTHERN GROWTH.
The Manufacturers’ Record of Balti
more of October :»1, in reviewing the
progress of the South, says:
“The business situation throughout
the South continues to improve, and the
outlook for the future is very promising.
Speculative operations are not in much
favor, but the work of solid business de
velopment is commanding increased at
tention. Shrewd capitalists, realizing
the intrinsic value of mineral and timbe-
properties, are making a number pur
chases, and mainly for immediate devel
opment. In West Virginia some large
sales of coal lands have been made, and
in other states ore and timber lands have
changed hands. The phosphate inter
ests in Florida show increased activity in
the sale of lands and in the organization
of mining companies, seven new compa
nies having been reported during the
week with capital stock of from $50,000
to $1,000,000. In Alabama a very ini
portant contract was closed, securing the
building of a railroad from tho Warrior
coal fields to deep water river navigation
at Tuscaloosa, which will open a w'ater
transportation route for Alabama coal to
the gulf; this contract also calls for coal
mining and coke making operations at
Tuscaloosa.
“At Galveston the contract|has been
closed for building a 1,000,000 bushel
grain elevator at a cost of $200,000, and
large engagements have been made for
grain shipments from New Orleans this
winter, while at Baltimore the grain
trade is so active that on two days of
this week alone charters were mado for
the export of 2,505,000 bushels to Eu
rope. The cotton movement continues
very heavy, due in large part to the per
fect weather for gathering the crop, and
southern ports are crowded with vessels
loading for Europe. In general indus
trial matters there is steady improve
ment.
“This shows a steady, solid growth all
along the Hue, and indicates a very
healthy development activity that prom
ises w’ell for tho rapid increase in the
progress and prosperity of the south.’’
GOOD ROADS.
The Georgia road congress struck it
right when it declared that it was emi
nently fit and proper ‘.hat the Georgia
convict lease bo abandoned, and that the
convicts ho put on our public highways
The public roads, so-called in this
State are more of a disgrace than the
convict lease system, and the only way
to abolish these two evils is to put the
convicts of each county to road making,
not w’orking, and let us have what vve
never yet have had, decent public roads
in Georgia.
It wi.l probably tak6 fifty years to get
any decent roads In Georgia, hut if the
onvicts had been put at this work
twenty-five years ago, instead of being
leased to private parties, a fair showing
would by this timo have been made to
wards the accomplishment of that neces
sity of all civilized countries, good
roads.
WOMEN IN POLITICS.
This expression of deep aud pervasive
political enthusiasm by women Is a hope
ful sign for the campaign. As yet they
cannot vote themselves, hut when they
are really interested in politics there are
no more powerful allies of a political
party, for by feminine importunity they
can drive men to tlieir duty at the polls.
They are political workers in households
into which party canvassers may not
force themselves, and if their political
zeal is strong and active, they can make
it contagious. It is irresistible by men
botli young and old, and the use of the
power is unremitting. If women are de
termined that men shall vote, they will
vote. They can’t get out of it by the ex
cuses of laziness and indifference. They
must go to the polls or forfeit feminine
respect Because the suffrage io pecu-
lairly a manly privilege, the women pol
iticians make its exercise a test of man
liness, as, indeed, it ought to he. The
influence of women is the stronger, too,
because it is unselfish, though thorough
ly partisan. They are not Mugwumps.
They take one side or the other without
reservation, and they are therefore the
sort of allies a party wants. It does not
want the Laodiceans of politics, neither
warm nor cold, hut lukewarm.
Yet, rapid as has been the increase of
the interest of women in political cam
paigns, they exhibit no corresponding
increase in the desire to obtain the suf
frage for themselves. It seems to he
less than formerly rather than greater.
Tho larger they find the possibilities of
their political influence to he the more
content they seem to he in exercising it
without the hardship of going to the
polls themselves. Perhaps that senti
ment may change some day, and very
suddenly, hut at present its prevalence
among women is indisputable, no matter
how great their interest in politics and
their zeal as politicians. The regular
w’oman suffrage advocates are few, and
their influence in this campaign is undis
coverable.—New York Sun,
In speaking of tho cotton convention
yesterday Governor Northen suggested a
good idea: “Tho farmers lose more by
this syst m of sampliug,” said he,
“than in any other way. I know where
of I speak, for I have tested it. A few’
years ago I had the depot agent at
Sparta weigh carefully every bale of
cotton I shipped. I shipped fifty hales,
and when I received the account of my
factor who sold the cotton for me, I
found that I had lost just one bale of
500 pounds. In other words, ten pounds
of cotton were taken from every bale.
Somo method should be devised by
which a true sample of the bale should
be attached in a pocket, and this sample
should go with and remain with the
bale.’’—Atlanta Constitution.
The Chattanooga Times says: “The
row’ over the Johnson School History in
a Georgia town has bethought us to sug
gest that, in our school histories the an
nals of the civil war should he confined
to the coldest kind of official statement.
Still better than that would he the omis
sion of that era from tho books entirely.
Wc are yet too near tho events of that
passion-stirring and prejudice-violating
season for tho most judicial to do the
subject even-handed justice. Whatever
is written, or has been written, of its
history since 18(15, is either worthless or
fit only for data to be used by tho histo
rians of fifty or a hundred years hence.’’
THE GALLOWS MUST GO.
Public sentiment demands that death
shall be the punishment for murder, hut
it also demands that the execution shall
be relieved of the shocking exhibitions
so frequent at the hanging of criminals.
There was a terrible scene at an execu
tion at Redwood Falls, Minn., last week,
when a rope broke, and the criminal fell,
still alive though insensible, to the
ground. The limp body was again tak
en to the scaffold, and with tho noose of
a rope around its neck it was swung off
again, aud allowed to swing until life
was extinct. Since it is known that the
recent executions by electricity in New
York were attended by none of the dis
agreeable incidents graphically describ
ed by reporters who were not there,
there is no longer excuse for resoi ting to
the gallows with its barbarous certain
ties and shocking possibilities. If the
murderer is to be deprived of life, the
work should he done as painlessly and
quietly as modern science can do it.
Ox Tuesday a New York organ of Re
puhlicauism wronged the Hon. Benton
McMHlin of Tennessee and tho Hon.
Charles F. Crisp of Georgia in stating
that they had voted to place the Fair of
18fi2 in Chicago, and the Sun was acci
dentally led into crediting such a vote to
Mr. McMillin and also to Mr. Mills of
Texas. None of these gentlemen voted
that way. Mills voted for St. Louis and
Crisp and McMillin voted for New York.

one of the best editorial writers in the
State and an excellent all around news
paper man. Mr. Robinson is a well-
known, dopular and successful business
man. The new venture ought to be,
and doubtless will he, a successful one.
The exposition souvenir of the Au
gusta Chronicle is one of the handsom

up, and is at once a splendid exposition
of the social, commercial and industrial
interests of that thriving metropolis.
It reflects great credit upon the enter
prising editors and managers.
Republicans in the President’s own

The latest figures from the Depart
ment of Agriculture place tlris year’s
wheat crop iu the United States at about
5S8,000,000 bushels instead of the 520,-
000,000 bushels, which was the outside
estimate when the harvest began
Juno the most trust-worthy authorities
were confident that the wheat yield of
the country would not exceed 500,000,
000 bushels, or 515,000,000 bushels at the
very utmost. The result has been like
giving the farmers of the country $50,
000,000 above what they hoped for or
what they would have felt was a satis
factory result. This makes the effort of
the Farmers’ Alliance orators to show
that the farming interests of the coun
try are on the brink of ruin one of unus
ual difficulty.
EMPLOYMENT FOR CONVICTS.
Among other tilings that the road
congress in session in Atlanta this week
adopted w’as the following‘ “It is the
sense of this congress that it is to the
interests of the people of the state that
the labor of her convicts should he used
upon her public roads, and that no lease
of convicts should be made after the ex
piration of the present lease.’’
The foregoing should he given very
careful consideration by the people of
this state. There is great dissatisfaction
with the convict lease system, and there
is opposition to so employing convicts
that their labor will co ne into competi
tion with free labor. But nobody could
reasonably object to the employment of
theconvicts upon the public roads.
The roads iu all parts of the state are
now in a deploiable condition. Tlieir
improvement would greatly increase the
value of the farms of the state, and
would directly benefit the farmers to an
amount annually far greater than the
amount of tax they would have to pay
for the maintenance of convicts em
ployed upon the roads.
The convicts could be distributed
among the counties, under the guards of
the state, and each county would have
to maintain the convicts employed with
in its limits There is no doubt that the
counties would he glad to get them
The cost of maintaining them would be
small, and the burden upon the tax
payers would, therefore, be very light.
Some of the counties might not care to
maintain convicts while improving their
roads, but the majority of them would
be glad to get them. In the course of a
few years there would he a marked
change for the better in the roads of the
state. At present about all the profit in
the labor of the convicts goes to the les
sees. Why shouldn’t the counties get
the benefit of this labor in the way sug
gested ?—Sava n n ah Ne w’s.

was developing fast, that convict labc,
should not be allowed to regulate the
value of free labor, receive a back set 6
isjto be regretted, hut the first nece”
sity of the situation which the American
people as a whole will demand is that

Mu. John II. Inman, President of the
West Point Terminal Company, has
been the target for a good deal of spec
ulativo rumor, but the latest reports
place him in control of the immense in
tercsts that have been committed to his
care. He has succeeded in raising tho
funds necessary to meet the demands
now made upon the Georgia Central, and
the war on him will probably ceaso. Mr.
Inman is a sagacious business man and

Max O’Rei.l, the Frenchman, has a
keen eye to tho main chance. In his
new hook he makes a prominent bid for
feminine applause. He says: “The
more I see of the American women the
more confirmed I become in my impress
ion that they are typical—more so than
the men. They are like no other women
I know. The brilliancy of tlieir conver
sation, the animation of their features,
the absence of affectation in their man
ners, make them unique.”
Charges of diplomatic jingoism on
the part of Secretary Blaine are ever in
the air, only to be dissipated by an ever-
recurring feeling that, however extreme
his partisanship in home politics may be,
Mr. Blaine will maintain the honor of
the country abroad.
The apprehension In Indianapolis that
the Republican National Convention is
to be held in Guinea may have somo
foundation. With the iniiuence of the
Guinea negroes, Mr. Harrison might

No question has excited the religious
communities of Louisiana since its for
mation as a State more than the lottery
question is doing now. With one excep
tion almost every denomination has
taken action on the subject. Some
churches have gone so far as to make it
a test of membership. Every Methodist
conference has decided against the lot
tery, while the Baptist convention, after
declaring that no good Baptist could by
any possibility favor the lottery com
pany, recommend the churches to expel
such members as might express them
selves in favor of extending its charter.
The Congregationalists have been alike
vigorous in condemning the lottery, and
the stand of the Presbyterians may he
judged by that of I)r. Palmer, who has
been a leader in the light against the
lottery, and that denomination has ap
pointed a day of prayer to bo observed
next month in all its churches in Louis
iana to pray for the annihilation of the
lottery. The Episcopal Church, at its
Diocesan Council, adopted resolutions
against the lottery. The Roman Catho
lic Church has taken no action in the
matter; a number of its priests, however,
particularly in the French poition of the
State, are ardent supporters of the lot
tery amendment, and have been conspi
cuous at the meetings in favor of it.—

llAitox IIihscii, the Hebrew philan

Ho made his wealth chietly out of con
tracts for building Turkish and Transyl
vanian railroads. The Rothschilds were
his financial backers when he assumed
the contracts, but they got the idea that
tho railroads would not succeed, and
therefore withdrew their support. lie
then secured assistance from big hank
ing firms of Frankfort which he was
able to intluence through his marriage,
and thus obtained funds enough to carry
on the great undertaking. European
financiers have been surprised by the
enormous success of these railroads.
They paid from tho day they were open

fortunes in Europe for the bold contrac

others thought them foolhardy. Every
thing he has since touched has turned to
gold. He is a large holder of lauded es
tates and French rentes. It is said his
benefactions for several years past have
amounted to $1,000,000 annually.
Drinking toasts to the “destruction
of the North American republic” can do
the United States no harm nor the vin
dictive Chilians any good. But it serves
to show how much of rankling bitter
ness may be aroused by a blunder of tho
government in placing such a man as
Minister Pat Egan in a position for
which he is wholly unfit, and keeping
him there in spite of his blunders.
Judging us a nation by the alleged repre
sentative we have sent them is not irra
tional on the part of the Chilians but it
is still very erroneous in this case.
