Hut while the result to Alabama Is thus flint in Importance, It Is also a matter of the greatest Interest to oilier slates in the South. It Is in Alabama that the thlrd party movement, hi Its vilest form—hypocritical, treacherous, merce nary, dlsrcgardful of all decency—has manifested the greatest power; greater than In South Carolina becntise, though less successful in the fluid, It has nut manifested the strong. If vulgar anil tyrannical, manliness that character ises THImnnlsin. It sneaks, where In South Carolina It brutally bullies; but nevertheless In the lust election in Ala bama it ratnc near carrying the statu —claimed to have carried It—and bases Its liopo of success now largely on the degree in which It has convinced the people that, rotten as Kolb nail Ills par ty are, they are yet entitled to the sym pathy given to men who have been cheated. PASS IT AND COMB HOME. The Washington reports promise that the tariff conferees will reach an ugrcc- meut this week. They Hindu the same promise a week ugo, und thu Inst prom ise is more likely to bo kept only be. causo it conics a week later; congress Is obliged to act at seme time. Tho’ people are becoming exasperated that this question should remain unsettled for so muny mouths, lu spite of thu fuel that Its pendency hampers business, deprives the poor of employment and In ninny ways accentuates tho misery caused by Iho panic of Inst summer, Thu Kcltlcmont cannot lie long do- layed. The conferees must reach un agreement; and wc think that an agree ment will Iki reached through thu yield ing of Ihe representatives of thu house mi the committee. They ure at a great dlsadynutugu lu tho contest They havo the masses of tho parly lielilud them, u majority of their party senators nud the influence of tho executive, but their opponents have less to lose, ure few in manlier, have a common interest which Is superior to their loyalty to tho par ly’s principles and can, therefore, bet ter afford to defeat iho bill than the many who Jutvo.uo special interest to servo aud to whom the welfare el tho party Is dearer. We think that Demo crats generally, while they ugruo that the bouse bill Is greatly preferable, are prepared to see tin, conference commit tee report lu favor of Iho senate bill. They believe tliat the house aud the president will be forced to ucccpt tho hitter lilll nud wait fur another oppor tunity to do Justice in Ibosc directions In which Ms progress has been blocked by Mr. Gormnu and his friends. They stsi lu the prospect' that thu new lnw will produce a.r(venue largely lu ex cess of tUif'ueuUx of the government such anrapportuulty. Excessive reve nue ought to mean a reduction of tax ation, and when oongruss Is called upon to remit taxes ,t will, if a Democratic congress, naturally tnru to tlmso forced Into tho law by the Uorutan combina tion. not only because they were forced upon an unwilling people, but bocauso they are Ihe taxes witch, lu the pro purlieu to the burden they impose, bring the smallest rcvcuue lute thu treasury. 'Hie protective duty on mi gar, for instance, will hrlug net n dollar into the treasury, while It will tax the people for the lieuelH of the sugar trust in a yearly sum variously estimated from leu to twealy-Uve mllllous. A proposition to rcpcul that tax, standing only on Its own merits, would lie adopted by eougress. There Is an enormous majority against the tax new. It goo* Into the hill because tile three or four meu lu the sennto who tuvor ft have the power and are willing to uso It to prevent nil other tax reduc tion unless they nro allowed to have their way. We lioiic the promise of an agree ment this week will Iki fulfilled. We nice hope the house will tie able to gala considerable concessions in tho sugar, Iron nud coal schedule*, but if It can not, It is useless to continue tho strug gle. It la hitter to couecdo to two or •three meu acting from tuterested mo tives the power of congress to tax tho people; but tt is better to uuiko tills concession, temporarily, than to at,an den the whole effort to reform tho tax system of the government. The senate lilll, cvcu ns It stands, full of conces sions to ttepulilleau protection, full of ovidenee that the men who constructed It were leglstallug for ludlrUlual* in- stead of for the whole people.

COTTON ESTIMATES. Predictions of an extraordinary ..cot ton crap are being nmde freely. They range te nearly ill,000,000 hales. Texas, It is said, will alone produce 3,260,(MX) bales. In our opinion, these predic tions ure worth nothing whatever. They originate In tho present promising con dition of the cotton crop, but leave out of consideration the hundred aud one accidents and misfortunes which dur ing tho next two months muy reduce thut condition of tho crop very mate rially. We may lio sure that some of these nccldcuts or misfortunes will oc cur. There’ wns never an absolutely perfect cotton season, and this one can not bo perfect, yet tho estimates to which wo refer seem to bo bnseil on the assumption that at tho beginning of August the crop Is safe from all dan ger and only waiting to be gathered. We do not know whether these esti mates are made with the set purpose of prejudicing the cotton market against the cotton grower, but If Uiey are accepted ns true, that will inevita bly bo the effect. Thut there is n rea- sou why certain inen should desire to bear’ the market In advance Is cer tain, nud it looks tike the meu Inter ested In having prices an low ns possi ble, especially at the opening of the selling season, ore trying to bring about tho state of affairs they desire.

He further asserted that if you Increase tbs ratio m to 1 >’ou Increase the debt of every man 2S per cent. In answer to a question from Mr.' Longley, Mr. Bacon sad he favored tree onnage of sliver at the r- 16 to 1. || He s*ked, where must we look for relief? Not from the Republican party of classes. The Republicans would give free coinage If they could fasten on u* the tariff tax of fis.ooo.ooo per year. The Populists favored free coinage at 16 to 1, whether it produced parity or not. He appealed, to Popu lists—"If in the majority, why don't you stay In The Democratic party and control? If In the minority what can you expect? If you agree with us m these principles. I say, In all kindness, come back and help make permanent these principles In fhe administration of the government. I know, that the men of Georgia, whether Democrat:* or Populists, stand on the Democratic platform, and that the Poulists have some things 1n their platform they don’t say much about, and when they want to'seduce people from the Demo cratic party they say they are better Democrat* man we are, and heirs of of Jefferson.’* / . He referred to a map showing the vote of -The three parties In ail the coun ties of the United State* by colors. All of New England was blue (Republi can) and all of New York, except New York city and some few other coun ties. The Whole South was red (Dem ocratic), except Mere and there a little yellow xpot (Populist), and the remain der was red and blue, except <t few yellow spots went of the Mississippi, and he asked, "What use is there of frittering wway your strength on the Populist party?" _ . Wald -he; "I repeat, that If I knew that there would never again be a vic tory of the Democratic party I would fight till domsday to keep up Its or ganisation and In advocacy of it* prin ciples.” * I witnessed quite an Interesting little episode at. Kansas City soon after the •trike was over,’’ said a drummer Jan night. "The atrike had delayed a cor load of eggs somewhere out on the line, sad when the car was opened at Kansan City the whole noor and all the cracks and crevices between the packed boxes were filled wiUi young chicken*, most of them three or four day* old, and several a week or so older. The crowd began to gather about the car. and tt was cau»e for a general side show for an hour or two. li teems that the *un had made the charge irom eggs to chickens somewhere along tlie route.” It is a noticeable fact that Macon <s freer from mosquitoes this summer than ever before, although some few complaints have been registered up to date by people living near the river or In the lower part of tiny city. On the Hill, however, these mustcfil pests are almost unknown, and people why havap Invested in mosquito bars wl*h they hod watted a while. August und September are the worst months, however, for mosquitoes, and It not advisable to take down the bars yet uwhlle. Division among our people threatened us with dangers which we might net now be able to see, but which would surely com«.

You ask me how I gave my heart to Christ? I do not know. There came a yearning for him In my soul Ho long ago; I found earth's flowers would fade aril die— I wept for something that could satisfy, And then—and then-somehow 1 *eemed to dare To lift my broken heart to him In prayer.

He spoke ot the responsibility resUng upon a speaker who attempts to dis cuss the Issues uf ihe day, when there ure threats of division among our peo ple; of the Impontance of the perma nency of the Democratic party, whose exlflence Is for the best Interests of the flaulh, and hi* purpose to speak tor that party. He referred to the dlfltculty of cob reeling the ovll* of thirty years of Re publican rule, on account of the slxe of tho country.

They Had oc- compllshetl certain things and failed to accomplish other*, and he asked If tho failure to accomplish those things was suit!,-lent to esuse division. Mr. Bacon Mid the two great questions were the tariff amt finance. Vie mentioned the fact that from 110.000.UM to tl3.000.000 were annually taken out of the state of Uet>rgt* by the tariff. 11c dlscuseed the sliver question snd raid there were two essentials to good currency, (1) that tt be sound.

The resort In question ha* always been noted for the absence of mosquitoes there except when an inland breeze is blowing, which is not often, and then It only last* for a day or two. For three daye last week, however, the breeze was inland and the gallinlpper*—not mosquitoes- ctune by the million and billion, luerally taking possession of the hotel, tearing the net* Into shreds and making sleep out . of the question. It wa* while this state of affairs was prevailing that Jim Farnum, the whole-souled, Jolly, good- natured traveling representative of the Acme Brewing Company, stopped at the hotel, in company with a friend named Meeks. About 12 o’clock both gentlemen retired in blissful Ignorance of what was in store for them. 'Ihe other guest* also retired, but they had passed through one night's siege and were prepared. Abo it ltfo o’clock Mr.'Meek* was found sitting on the veranda en di&tbille, but laughing nearly fit to kill himself. When asked what was the matter ne sold the gaJll- ntppers kept him from sleeping, and that rather than be devoured he had come down stairs to get away from them and lefth I* friend to their mercy. He said he thought It was a huge joke to let them, prey on his friend alone, and he giggled as he told how his friend was Hunting them in his steep. At 2:30 the night clerk was startled by hearing some one coming down the stairs a half dozen steps at a time, and a moment later Jim Farnum appeared In the full glare of the office light In his night shirt, with blood not only, lu his eye, but actually dripping from a hundred or more places about his body. The night clerk meekly inquired what was the matter. Matter! matter!" cried the enraged drummer. “Why, everything's the mat ter! What ha* become of my friend Meeks? Where Is he, I say?" "I don’t know where he is," the clerk replied. ••Just as I expected,” cried Mr. Farnum, excitedly; "those confounded vampire* 1\5lvc devoured him, «uid I Just did awake in time to save myself. Poor fellow! to think he should have met such a fate! Look here, Mr. Clerk, 1 have slept in the Okeefeenokee swamp and cam pod out In the Jersey ftots, but I’ll be dog-goned If 1 over strode anything like this before. Sleep! why, It’s out of the question; and yet I’m the finest sleeper In Georgia. I can sleep anywhere, even on a cro»cut -but'not here." And he walked out the veranda to cool off. There he met hln friend, and ail was forgiven. But they slept no more that night, and the first boat took them away. The next night everybody remained up except Mr. Tracy Baxter, who had Just arrived, and, not mupectlng anything wrong, retired eArly. At 2 o'clock a. m. the whole hotel was aroused by the odor of burning cotton, and, thinking the hotel was on fire, a search was Instituted. The Are was soon located In Mr.' Baxter’s room, and he was asked to open the door. He replied that he was too busy. Finally a pars key was procured and the crowd entered the room, and were greatly aston ished at what they mr. Standing in the middle of the bed was Mr. Baxter, with a wet towel In hts hand, striking right and left, while the netting over hi* bed looked like a craxy quilt made of netting and paper, he having endeavored to chink up the thousand and one holes In the netting with the New York Ileralu, Sun, Harper’s, Century, and the Telegraph. In the middle of the floor was the wash bowl, filled with pocket handkerchiefs that Mr. Baxter had put fire to to smoke out the galllnlppers. It was unnecessary for Mr. Baxter to explain what he was doing, and tho crowd Joined In to help him, but all finally gave it up as a bad Job. They kept the blood thirsty galllnlppers ofT him, however, till he could dress, after which he went down stairs and walked on the beach the re mainder of the night. Mr. Baxter said It p&hied him to moke war even on an insect that had the mine blood In Its veins that he has In his. set Among the pleasant things which hap. pened at the recent state convention was the presentation to Mrs. W.

One day he went out in the hills with his rifle after antelope. He suddenly heard a rustling in the brush ahead of him, as of a wild animal rush ing toward him. In a moment the Shnix queen leaped down the hill. She had barely cleared cover when a young Sioux brave, who had wooed the royal beauty with embroidered moccasins and protesta tions of undylug love, dashed after the fleeing maiden with club In hand. Other and more civilized endearments having failed, he was now proceeding to woo her In true Indian fashion—with a club. Be fore the ardent lover could get near enough to express himself to the maiden Jordan tripped him headlong into a gulch. The girl was safe In camp long before her Importunate lover crawled out of the mud and water and began looking about him for the snag which he had struck. Jordan afterward had him disciplined by the tribe, and he was banished in dis grace. TO THE PUBLIC.

ELMO CLAY. Having Left the Democracy He’ll Tnke • to Writing Free Silver Literature. A STRANGE FRIENDSHIP. HV>w n Cot and a Chicken Struck Up ft Relationship, Omaha, Aug. 4.—Congressman W. Bryan will leave congress, te.u Pu l partly, when the present congress Journs, to become an editor. Hto friends have bought a block of stock in the Omaha Daily World- Herald, with the understanding that Bryan should have* complete control. He will advocate the free and unlim ited coinage of silver, and incidentally use the sheet f-o promote his candidacy for ; <ihe United States senate His friends claim that tf by his pen and nis eloquehce he can put a tew free-silver Democrats In the next legislature, the Populists will reward him with their support, and he cton step into the United tSates senate next spring. Another feature of the new manage ment will be its hostility to the tid- ministration nnd all that partakes of Clevekmdism; This will be bitter. A strange exception to the enmity that usually exists between the feline and the feathery tribes Is to he found In Mount Vernon. Ill., In the household of a photographer, where the family cat with an instinct 'of maternal solicitude rarely exhibited in animals for the young of other species, took Into her fold of newly born kittens a little or phan chicken, cherishing it as one bf her own offspring. „» The little waif was accidentally cast upon the world, the egg which con tained It being hatched In an unac countable way without the warmth <1- ways given by the mother hen. The little kittens and their adopted sister thrive In peace and harmony together. Of course, the little stranger did not eat at the same table wlh the rest of the family, but found Its nourishment from the little Insects, worms and crumbs. But they basked in the sun shine under the same maternal guid ance. and warmed on cold nights at the 6ame motherly breast The Btrangest part bf all Is that when the kittens ar rived at maturity the old cat parted with* them without a murmur, while nothing. It seems, can sever the ties that bind her to the chlcken.now grown to stately henhood. 6Etf ATOTtliAJL DRIFT. Wo mountaineers are food of Bacon.

He bears the honor of being the only while man who was ever elected a member of the Sioux council. In their days of power, before hardly a single white face had been seen west of the Missouri river, the Dakotas (Sioux) were one nation, ruled by one cbkrf. The last of this autocratic dynasty was Old •moke, who died tn XS59. after seeing his people pushed westward and his power curtailed. Although the husband of more than one squaw, he left but one child, a tiny girl, who could hardly coo -when Old Smoke got ready to float upward to the happy hunting grounds. When dying he took her in his arms and named her the Beautiful Woman, and so she has 4nce been known. The Beautiful Woman was a princess. She did no work, but learned of missionaries, scorned dog meat, nnd kept her nails trimmed and her glorious black hair patted and combed. She grew to womanhood high spirited, proud and capricious—an ideal squaw. But- as no ideal chief came to woo her, she scorned an alUanoe with any common member of the tribe.
