Nortnern takes direct issue with the President on tbe silver ques tion. Democratic postmasters for Geor gia will come with the millenium no doubt. The loss by the fire in Chicago day before yesterday is estimated at $600,000. Everything seems out of joint in these peculiar times. It is raining in Colorado. Tbe cotton crop is moving, but the result is not yet appreciable to any great extent. Southern Congressmen are taking the lead. We hope they will lead in tbe right direction. Maiden speeches are the order of tbe day in Congress. A few of them might be dispensed with. It is hard to tell where many of the present Congressman will be at, after tbe next election. The New York World says, the people are crying for bread and Con gress is giving them talk. Tbe prospect for an increase in the price of cotton is not favorable. The conditions are all against it. The Savannah Telegram has sus pended. It was a good paper, hut it had a heavy load to carry. There is a hackman's war on at Niagara. When thieves fall out honest men get a cheap ride. An Arab had his teeth knocked out by a Cbicago policeman.

Mr. Turner’s voice has been heard pleading for an honest dollar and for the redemption of the Democratic pledges. The Valdosta Times declines to give further space for the discussion of the Clinch county court house question. New York had a terrible rain and wind storm yesterday. Over four inches of rain fell and much damage was done. •‘The question which confronts us,” howled the orator, “is how to confront the question.”—The Cleve land Plain Dealer. This is a free Country, and some people say this is tbe promised-land. Aud those of ns who are not in the soup, should be happy. “There was a man crucified once because he had entered the temple of the living God and scourged from the money lenders.”—Sibley, of Pennsylvania. Editor Sid Lewis must keep a re frigerator, or his free silver edito rials would be destroyed by sponta- meour combustion.—Tifton Gazette. About a dozen Brunswickians are "in quarantine a few miles from Val dosta. They will be held for sever al days before being allowed to enter the town. The tariff issue will be the divid ing line between the Democrats and Republicans. The silver question brings us rather too close together for comfort. There is a community of interests between tbe South aud the West on tariff and financial questions bat on no other— Isbmaelite. These issues however, bind the sections, together. The Bainbridge Globe, a Third party paper, gets off the following The| man who can endorse Mr. Cleveland’s massage certainly does not believe that Christ died to save the poor. Cotton seems to be utterly nnabie to move money. Savannah’s terrible . storm is al most as bad as Brunswick’s yellow fever. Next month California will cele brate her forty-third anniversary as a state. The chin music in Washington has ceased and now we hear the rattling of the ballots. commence to-day. Financial starvation and business stagnation in the midst of plenty. A strange state of affairs truly. It is correctly reported and gener ally believed that the panic has struck bottom and is now rebounding. The caption, “Bank failed" has been changed to “Bank resumed.” Tbe change is for tbe better. Tbe attempt to withdraw the Democratic party from Mr. Cleveland has so far proved a signal failure. And after all, it would seem that the surest road to prosperity is to pall a bell line over a flop-eared mule. It is to be hoped that Congress will not adjonrn until the country is flooded with money and confidence is folly restored. A Chinaman recently committed suicide because his girl cast him adrift. Tbe Chinese are fast be coming civilized, When one remembers the cost of running Congress for one day he will no longer insist that talk is cheap. —Augusta Chronicle. Language has been exhausted in describing the wonders of the great Fair. Descriptions will cease nntil more words can be coined. It is now proposed to use electricity as a preventive of yellow fever. It’s a good idea, electrocute tbe microbes as fast as you catch ’em. The news that the mills are resum ing work in different sections is the best of all. Thousands of suffering human beings will now be relieved. The countrv has survived the silver debate but is in a very debilitated Condition this morning. But for its remarkable vitality where would the country be at? We hope Congress will soon get off of silver and hop on to the tariff, We know all about the tariff ques tion, but bebanged if we haven’’ given the silver riddle up. The French are the best farmers in tbe world. Their farms are kept perfectly clean and they use great dexterity in laying out crops in rota tion and in the application of fer tilizers. The Johnson News says “cotton is bringing a good price.” In Heaven’i name what is the matter with the edi tor of the Johnston News, and where the deuce is Johnson at ? When Peffer arose and began. “I am inclined to think,” the burst of applanse was so deafening that he couldn’t go on for some time, and the reports intimate that he really did think There is $100,000 watting to be distributed among the suffering fam ilies of the fiireman who were killed nearly a month ago at the World’s Fair fire, and Chicago is still bolding on to it. In his fire-minute speech on Thurs day, Congressman Ben. Bussell liken ed the dillydallying of Congress over the financial question to the fiddling of Nero while Borne burned. What Ben. thinks he ain’t afraid to say, and be thinks about as much as any of ’em. The indications are now that the money will be withdrawn from the old sock and the tomata can, in a few days, and the owners of it will begin very cautiously to pay the butcher and baker and candlestick maker. The leader among the New York anarchists is a woman, a Russian Miss Emma Goldman. She' was formerly a disciple of Most, bnt now she paddles her own canoe. She says that Most was always too con servative; which goes to indicate what Miss Goldman’s views must be. Tbe Georgia delegation in Congress seem to be pretty badly split up on tbe silver question. Mrs. Lease is said to be a theoso- pbist. Oh, well that accounts for the whole business. If the charges against Congress man Beckenridge are sustained he should resign without being asked. Considering its limitations, Speak er Crisp gave the Georgia members a good showing on the silver question Texas is said to be the most pros perous State in the Union. She has felt none of the extremes enjoyed by other States. It may be that there is and has been too great a tendency on the part of the masses to legislate against capital. No matter what the outcome may be, the closing of the silver debate removes a load from the shoulders of the average citizen Before another crises comes upon the country, a law should be passed making speechifying under such cir cumstances a criminal offense One thing is certain, the press of Georgia has been whistling manfully The great Merrimack cotton mills, at Lowell, Mass., the Bessemer steel works, at Pueblo, Col., and several Pittsburg mills have resumed opera tions this week, returning 20,000 men to work. Tbe resumption of these works is an indication that the end of “hard times” is not far off. TERRIBLE STORMiN SAVANNAH. THE CITY SWEPT BY WIND AND WATER. One Life Known to Be Lost. The City of Savannah was swept last night by one of the most terrible storms has ever known. The storm had been predicted for several days and started early yesterday afternoon. The climax was reached about 12 o’clock last night, having blown for eignt hours. Hardly house in the city has escaped damage. The wharves along the river front were inundated and Hutchinsons island was flooded. A number of wanes floated away. It is thought that the storm at tained a volocity of 80 miles per hour. Louis Gagnett, a colored barber, was killed by coming in contact- with a fall ing electric wire. The rice planters will suffer more heavily perhaps than any one else. The crop in the vicinity of Savannah is ruin ed. Four barks that were at quarantine are ashore and the small craft has been swept away and sunk or driven into the marsh. Many of the beautiful shade trees that were the pride of the city are blown down. No trains came into the city by the Central or South bound rail roads last night, which indicates that the storm was general. It is conceeded that it is much thfe worst storm that Sa vannah has ever had. The losses cannot be calculated now, and it is more than probable that other lives are lost. The Savannah News achieved the remarkable fact of publish ing a seven column account of the storm this morning. Nothing is old but the mind—Emer- to keep up the spirits of the people erson * and that without reward, or the hope of it. List of B. & W. Officials.

While looking around for tramps and suspects in the suburbs on Saturday last, Marshal Cason discovered an old man, his wife and two daughters sitting on log near Reed’s nursery. Upon invest! gation the Marshal discovered that the family had come from Montgomery, Ala., and had walked the entire distance. They had been on the road just one month to the day, and the party was pretty well fagged out. They were hunting relatives who they said were working for Mr. Reed. They were in destitute cir cumstances and may need assistance. Graves on the Race Problem. The brilliant Georgian, John Temple Graves, is engaged in delivering a series of lectures, both north and south, i: which he is advocating with all the pow ers of his wonderful eloquence a some what novel scheme, which he claims will forever settle the race question. Mr. Graves’ ideas is to form a negro state under the American flag—disfran chise all white men in it and all negroes out of it, thus making an incentive for localizing the negro there and placing the government of the state entirely in his hands. He has already delivered the lecture in several northern states, and his ideas on . the suject seem to have everywhere met with approval. As' this is an entirely new idea the country will await with interest its final outcome. Mr. Graves says that within a year he expects to obtain the signatures of one million negroes to a memorial to congress on this subject. Multum In Parvo. The Fight Against Yellow Jack.—The News Condensed. Tbe Brunswick Times-Advcrtiser has not reached us for two days. We hope to hear from friend Wrench to-day. Peter Harris died yesterday at Bruns’ wick. His case was a virulent type of yellowjfever. Dr. H. W. Branham has been released and is now with his wife at Fort Val ley. Surgeon Mugruder thinks yellow fever may become epidemic in Brunswick if the people do not leave there at once. The little C>x girl was doing well at last accounts. The train from Waycross runs to Waynesvilles, The train from the camp of detention two miles east of Waynes- ville runs into Brunswick every day The two trains do not connect. The mails from Brunswick will be fumigated soon, if necessary. Jacksonville has sent Brunswick $1,- 000 in money and $500 in provisions. The situation looks better to-day. No new cases have developed and there are no other suspects up to this writing, but we cannot tell what the day may bring forth. We Welcome Him. The Herald welcoms Judge M. S. Meashon to Way cross, and hopes that he may find his stay with us both profit able and pleasant. Two Telegrams. Yesterday afternoon Mayor Knight received a telegram from Columbus, asking if there was any yellow fever in Waycross.

The Storm Yesterday and Last Night A wind and rainstomr reached Way- cross Sunday morning and raged with more or less fury nearly all night. The damage done in the city is not as bad as was at first supposed, still it is consider able. The top of the Round House, belonging to the S., F. & W. R. R. blown partly off, the rear end of livery stable recently occupied by Mr. Jones, on Pond street was blown out and the building otherwise injured. The head light on No. 12’s engine was broken and a number of glasses were broken in No. 60’s # coaches. Some shade trees were blown down and a few fences were injured As compared with .«ther points, Way- cross fared well. From Mayor Lamb. The following telegram was received from Mayor Lamb by Mayor Knight at 2 o’clock this p. m.: “Contributions re ceived. Many thanks to the kind citi zens of Waycross. Our people very grateful. T. W. Lamb.” TURNER’S SPEECH. Brought forth More Applause Than Any. So“« Extract* From It. Washington, Aug. 23.—Judge Tur ner held the closest attention and re ceived more applause than any speaker who has arisen in the house. He spoke under the ten-minute rule, and in that time made an easnest, eloquent plea for party unity and expressed his honest convictions in terms that none could mistake. He followed Amos Cummings, who had been pouring hot shot into the southern Democracy, and his speech had an excellent effect. He said in part that “there exists within the Democratic party great dif ferences on the currency question. These differences have existed for twenty years past, yet statesmen of the Demo cratic party have been able to mould these elements into an invincible mid ity. I am one of those who believe tfl genius which has been adequate in th? past, will do so in the future. How is this tobe done, sir ? “By fidelity to our pledges and keep ing faith with the people. The platform denounced the Sherman act in terms of odiousness; said it was a cowardly make shift, and who does not know that it makes of silver a commodity. It has disgraced its friends and fulfilled the prophesy of its enemies. There are other pledges, but nobody believes that means free coinage at the present ratio. The charter of Democratic faith, the platform, calls for honest money. I be lieve in sound currency. I believe sil ver dollars should be made as good as gold. I shall Vote for the highest of these ratios—that of twenty to one. They tell us it is impracticable, and may be it is, but it is the only way out of the difficulty. I believe that the re-coinage of the metal could now be made under most favorable circumstances. There is depressson in every land that the sun shines on.” In closing he said: “I have uo epi thets for those that differ from me, no honied phrases for those that agree with me. Democrats should get together and settle their differences in their own ranks.” Solved The Question. Free coinage or no free coinage, re peal or no repeal of the Sherman law, Albany has solved the problem of a local currency for herself, and on a safe and conservative basis, too, that makes it as good as national bank notes.—Al bany Herald. The Longest Sugar Cane. Our good friend T. M. Westberry left at the Herald office yesterday the long est sugar cane we have yet seen. It grown in Waycross and was more than six fet long with twelve well matured joints. When it comes to raising cane and corn Westberry gets there. * He Did Not Express An Opinion. Surgeon Magruder denies that he has ever expressed an opinion to the effect that there would be an epidemic in Brunswick. He states that he has not been there and is not in position to give an opinion. Surgeon Magruder has nothing to do with Brunswick, but is looking after matters at the camp of de tention. Buried by the K. of P. The remains of Dr. T. K. Quinn, who died at Waltertown yesterday, were taken to Quitman last night, and will be buried by the Knights of Pythias to-day. Dr. Quinn belonged to the Waycross lodge, K. of P. Messrs. T. E. Lanier, Fred Ficken, F. W. Bibb and A. R. Bennett accompanied the remains pall-bearer.-, and will return to-night. We’re Found Him. Our readers will remember that the Herald advertised a few days since fo man who knew nothing about the sit. ver question. Yesterday we received word from Thomasville that the man was in that city, and who do you think the party is ? why its no less a man than John Triplett, of the Times, and he sends us word to forward the reward at once. The B. & W. Forces Here. Mr. Geo. W. Haines, superintendent cf the B. & W., together with his lieuten ants and clerks arrived from Tifton this morning, and are moving into the new quarters rented them by the Herald. They will occupy the store recently fit ted up by the Herald for a stationery store, between J. V. Norton’s and C. C. Grace Co., also four rooms up stairs in cluding the present Herald sanctum. The Herald office will, for the present, be in the composing room at the head of the stairs. We are determined to make the B. & W. officials comfortable and if possible, happy. Mr. Haines’ force consists of thirty or torty gentle men and their coming will add three or four hundred to the population of Way- cross in a few days. They are welcome. Mayor Lamb Did Right. When it was known that Brunswick had yellow fever, Mayor Lamb did ex actly right to advise the people to leave at once, and the absence of new cases in the city to-day proves that his position was correct. Mayor Lamb will be sus tained by every man in the land who has a soul, and those who are disposed to critizise him adversely will find that they have no backing. As mayor of the city, Mr. Lamb is supposed to be the guardian, not only of the rights, but of the health and welfare of his people, and it was his first duty to look to their safety. What would have been the con dition to-day if the Mayor had issued a proclamation forbiding persons from leaving the city until a camp could be prepared for them, and been able to en force it ? And how could a camp for the accommodation of six or eight thousand people have been prepared before the contagion had spread ? The proposition is heartless and preposterous. Shut up eight thousand people in a town or a camp to die like sheep in this Christian land f The thought is horrible and the per son who would entertain it is a brute. The right thing has been done, the peo ple are out and scattered and the ravages of yellow Jack are checked we think permanently. Let the Atlanta Herald or any other paper criticize as much as they “please, Mayor Lamb will be sus tained by the Christian world and receive the gratitude of his people. Humiliating. It must be humiliating to every Georgian to be brought face to face with the fact that the Governor of the State bas no authority to estab lish quarantine stations in the State, or to expend a dollar for the pro tection of our own people from epi demic disease, and is, therefore, forced to call upon the Government at Washington in the present yellow fever emergency. This is the second time within the last few years that Georgia bas had to face this humilia tion, and it is to be hoped that the next Legislature will do something to prevent its recurrence.—Albany Herald. At the Artesian Well Mr. Finn Hits Gravel. Yesterday afternoon Mr. Finn’s drill, at a depth of about two hundred feet, struck a bed of sand and gravel, mixed with minute shells, sharks teeth and oc casionally pieces of fish bone. In five minutes the sand and gravel had filled the pipe for sixty feet The pumps were put to work and another section of pipe is being put in. The Herald pre dicts that very soon after getting through the gravel rock will be found.
