He has been powerful heretofore, they sa'd, only because) of the cunning nnd unsrcupulousueu that fitted him . to 1» the manager of u con scienceless political machine. This pre diction him not been fulfilled. We think Senator Hill's conrso Is open to very ahnrp criticism. It seems to us that more than oneo ho has allowed his personal animosities to affect hit conduct when ho should Uavo been guided only by consideration for tlm IntercslH of the public nnd his party. But os u member of Iho senate he has been anything but insignificant. In Ids moat distinctive nets ho was with out n follower. But lio demonstrated that* he Is nn ablo debater nnd on ex ceedingly resourceful antagonist. Ho modo himself feared, mid from the be- ginning of tho session until tile end matntnlucd his place, ns one of tho most prominent unimbutv of the sen- ■to. It looks now ns If Mr. 11111 were enter ing upon n new nnd more Interesting pluuifl of his remnrkiiblo political career. Ills ambition to 1m president Is not new. Ho him not concealed It rnd nil his efforl* during recent years hnvc had tho gmtBlcatlou of that umb.tion In vivw. That he accepts tho nomination of his party for governor of New York ■it this time Is proof of his courage. Defeat would destroy all hope be may lmvc to some day lielug president, and the elrcumstanc.'s under which bo must make his men foe governor are exceed ingly unfavorable. He Is strong with the party hi Now York, and has shown that ho Is n magnlllcout political man- r.ger, but there is dsmorsl'iitloa In the party because of- division in its ranks on public questions, anil tho power of Tammany ha* Ivon weak cued hy iho recent awful disclosures of tbs corrupt- ill'll of Its go.-urumom In New York city. As tho Democratic candidate ho will also riiu uot only ngalust die par ty's political opponents, hut against tho dlscoutent arising out of the business depression, which always sets tho un thinking voter nga'mt tho party In lKiwcr. Wo are iucMueil to think, how ever, that Mr. Hill Is tlm strongest pcs- olbto ivnidltl.uo, ainl tlint ha will carry tho election If lutciligout managoiucut mid sxbausUeS* energy can accomplish that result. If lie dot*, ho will proba bly bo an lrivnlstlble candidate for tho pnwldculliit ui'UiUutUin. But ho takes great risks. THE GOLD SUPPLY. Tho director of the mint has recently furnished to tho Now York livening Post « report supptemcnul to Ids an nual report on tho world’* production of gold. This supplemental report shows n rapid Increase In tho produc tion of that precious metal. In his last report ho had estimated that tho pro duction lu 18s t would am,milt to a lit tle loss than $101),000,000, au Increase of 613,000,000 over tho year before. Ho DOW finds, however, that tho output of 1801 will bo not less tlmu $1*4,000.000. Most of the lucrvMse has been in South Africa, whore gold fields are boing de veloped at a marvelous rate, liut tho eutput of every gold-produeiug coun try of Importance shared It. The pro duction of iho United Stales, still lar ger than Uiat of any country, Is now lit tle In excess of South Africa, tho fig ures bolug respectively $13,000,000 nnd $30,000,000. The rate at which the world's production of gold has In creased is shown by tlia mint figures as follows: In ISM the total was $118,- 1)40,000; lu ISM, $130,iia0.fit)0; in 1 siig, litUWMi In 1S33, $1.'i3,M3,000, and In 1801 will be $174,000,000. Here Is an Increase of 40 per coot, la four years, sod If reports of gltsl dis coveries in West Australia mv even partially true tho Increase of produc tion will s-voa bo even more rapid. A recent visitor to Auxiraiti, rays in nn English paper, that "tho peoplent homo have no Idea of the extent of the aurif erous area of that country. It Is known that tlio western district is nuciferous for 1.000 miles long, hy, In some parts, over 330 mil'* broad. Six m u made the first find lu what Is called the Coot- Ksrdie Goto BsHt. the otdeot ut tho group being over seventy years of ago. and the youngest a otrlppllng nf 3|. Tlwjr are all Australians, two of them old bands alt mining. Tlio one who' made ihe first find ballad originally from Londonderry, In Ireland, hence' gke name given to the looition as the Londanbcrry claim. In six wooks they got $85,000 out of a hole three feet deep and that with tbe worst primitive ap pliance*. Now tby have sunk a shaft and struck a reef at the fifty foot level, as rich as It was on tho surface,, a per fect blaze of gold, anil they may lie said to have $1,000,000 worth of gold in sight Before the great value of tbe find was realized, two of the six sold out to ilxe others for $15,000 end $30,000 respectively, and are now sorry they did so. They kept their secret rs long as they could, but it was let out at last by tbe old man of tbe party having a slight quarrel and going Into Coolgardle and talking about it. Then tbe edge of Londonderry became a literal fact. Men wheeled their goods through 115 miles of bush in wheelbarrow* Some are said to bnrt» packed their brlong- Ings In a barrel and rolled It. There are 0,000 people at Coolgsnlie who ore mainly occupies! In prospecting on tlielr hands and knees in all directions) six hotels and miscellaneous stores of nil hinds." It is probable that tills report very much exaggerates tho Importance and richness of tho gold deposits. Klmllnr stories startled tho world once upon n time from California uud South Africa. But It is well to remember that though lime proved these stories to have been greatly exaggerated, It also proved that the stories lud a founda tion so solid that California und South Africa have added hundreds of millions to tlio world's supply of money, nnd canthiuo to be the chief sources of supply. ABOUT POPULIST “ECONOMY." Much stress has been laid by our friends, tho Populists, on the question, of •■economy,” m governmental noriiirv, and they never weir? of tolling of tho good times coining when they secure possession of tho government. Kvcry : body will have plenty of money, tnxes will be low ami happiness will reign supremo. Tlio Telegraph has called attention from time to time to tho measures in troduced In coagross liy Populists, thrtqigh which this Utopiau condition is to bo brought about. TUcso bills carry appropr,it'.ous aggregating ihe mat llttla sum of $35.(00,000.000. Iu addition to Ibis Hie purchase of the railroads 1* contemplated hy them. This would cost $11,000,000,000 more ami tho purchase of the coal mines would bring tlio sum total to at .'east $50,000,000,000. Tho Telegraph has been doing n lit tle figuring on these Populist measures for the purpose of seeing Just what the Populist Idea of ecouomy. means, anil gives below the resuit of Its task. It must bo tnkeu into consideration that another Idea of the Populists, ns shewn by tlioir record In congress, Is that all taxes should bo levied on the land. Tho figures given In Iho following table, so fur as they refer to tlio value of Georgia lands, nre takoa from tho comptroller general's report, The esti mates of tho coat of Popullstlo legisla tion Is from iho Congressional Rec ord: Value of unimproved lend In Ororgla « Ut,foe.i« Value at wild land* 4,401,131 Value of town and city prop erty 123,1140, Total | 253,131,034 Appropriations carried by Populist measures 550,000,000,100 Annual Intercet charge, at per cent 1,730,000,100 GcoraU's share of tntereet charted W,000,000 With all taxes levied on tar.d us proposed hy l’opullete, Georgia e annual tax rate on loud (or Interest charge la’i per ct.

In oddltlun to this, tho stato -mil county taxes would liato to ho paid Just tlio same os they nre now, unless, Indeed, tho same sort of “economy* were to bo in troduced Into the statu and county gov ernments It the Populists got control. It this were *•» tlio taxes we would then pay w * fid In tho samu proportion, bo almost us live times ns h gh as they are now. , Most of the Populism In this stato are farmers, Ihiit ,s hind owners. How do they like tin- prospect? Under ‘'extravagant - ' Democratic rule their nnilounl taxes are something like $7 tier ospltai Under economical Pop ulist rule, their taxes per capita would be, if their schemes were carried cut, $35. Under Democratic rule, the amount of nixes paid by tho farmers on their laud Is $1.37 for each $1,000 for state tnxe«. Under Populist rule, it their schemes are carried out, the amount o»ld hy these fanners ou each $1,000 worth of tlielr loud, would l»o lit'i.ST.

In fa vor of this kind of "eamoiny," but the Telegraph Is of iho oplulou that lu'Xt Wednesday's veto wilt show that they are not by somewhere lu the neighborhood of 100,000 nnjorliy. Mr. Warmoutb—It would be Cestructlve to the Industry. Mr. Bayne—Why eo? Mr. Warraouliv—Localise It would dis close tho tact that the tariff la o bounty, and the moment It Is understood tha't we arc singled out and a bounty paid into our hands there would be a universal cry for the destruction of that bounty. Mr. Bayne—From whom would the cry come 7 Mr. Warmouth—Unanimously from tne country. Mr. Bayne-Suppose the effect of paying a bounty would be to develop your Indus try and mode it produce an adequate supply for the consumption of the coun try? , Mr. Warmouth—Na bounty would be of any benefit to us, because it would be very short-tlved. You give us a bounty ot two cents a pound end give us a guaran tee that the next congress will not tome here nnd repeal! t. If you can do that, I wifi take a bounty, as far as 1 am ton. earned—If you take the rcaponalbIMy of giving ua a guarantee; but you cannot do It, In my Judgment. You will not be able to <ty It. What I am willing to do. and shot we cladm yod should do as niembdh for the protection of tbla Industry, are different things. We wont to stand on the seme basts as other protected Indus tries. Mr. Warmouth la a Republican ami a sugar planter—therefore, of course, a protectionist—but this brutal frank ness must liavo been painful to Mr. McKinley. It is tho purpose In life of the latter to prove that tho tariff U not a bounty. Events have Justified Wnnnouth’s fears. The couutry did rise unanimously against the sugar bounty. It received a valuable lesson, loo, which It will not soon forget when provision for the pay ment of that bounty was mode--the very Iceson that Govenor Warmouth was anxious that It should 'not learn. A big prairio ichooaer bearing the family and household effect of a man deserting the West is a fair sample: “Colorado, Irrigation; Nebraska, starvation; Kansas, Populist administration; Going homo to my wlfes relations.” That fellow should hnvo come to Georgia. Ho would have found no ir rigation, no starvation, no Populist ad ministration, but if they were decent, hard-working people ho could have brought all Ills wife's relatives with him and they would have been wel comed. The ticket nominated by. tho Demo crats nt Saratoga Wednesday Is n whi ner. Every faction lit the New York Democracy Is represented. Senator Hill for tho machine, Mr. Lockwood for tho Ctovelaud Democrats ttnjl Judge Gaynor for tho Mugwumps, it Indi cates & united Democracy, and with tho Democrats pulling together In New York, uuder tho leadership of such a master of politics as David It. Hill, they nro Invincible, Morton’s ‘ barrel’’ will be tapped in vain. The ropultatio organization of United llrotlie™, tho by-laws of which tho Telegraph printed yesterday, seems to bo purely a hand of .Yunrchlsts, whose prUno motivo Is to defy the law of tho laud. When it assumes national pro portions wo respectfully suggest tho name of Joinu Most or -lulltis Schwab ns grand mogul.. In ihe menu tlmu we would ndvlso tho authorities of Marlon ccunty to keep an «yo ou tho United Brothers. Will some of our esteemed contem poraries who nre cnidring MaJ. Ba con's position on the silver question, point out a single speech he has made In this campaign lu which ho has not Insisted ou tho maintenance of tho par ity between silver and gold as tho first tvquislto for the enlargement of tbe volumo of silver currency? If this Isn't sound money and sound Democracy, tvhat Is It? Now for another long prize right in tho notvspapors. Tho Telegraph earn estly hopes that Corbett nnd Fitzsim mons will "put up and shut up" until they nro ready to fight. Col. S. A. Crump's suggestion about road-making, printed lu yesterday’s Tel egraph, is a good one. It Is worthy tho careful attention of tho oouuty com missioners. President Cleveland's administration still continues to “contract" tho cur rency by addles to It about a million dollars a month. Every Democrat who fails to voto next Wednesday, through negligence Is half a Populist. ATKINSON AND THE ADMINISTRA TION. A TROTKCTITNIST OU PROTEC TION.

EUROPE FILLS OUR ASYLUMS. Foreign Countries Make the Unl'cd Stoics a Dumping Ground For Their Insane. New York Oorreasondenit Chicago Inter Ocean. There Is tn the minds ot the au'.hori- tias of this state a '.veil duvelyped sus picion that a conspiracy exists in for eign countries to unload their Insane upon the United Status. Proof of the conspiracy I» said to exist in almost every asylum in Lie East. Certain It Is that the asylums of 'inis state are rap idly filling up with individuals who have lived hare lea* then two years. An officer of tlie cky court, spooking of this matter today, said: "In many cases foreigners are Insane before they reach these Shores. They usually have friends here who care for them, a year after their arrival and then make apeOkutloni to have them com muted to the asylum here. In that way the law Is evaded.

THE END OF A LONG CHASE Detective Drummond Did Excellent Work lu Identifying the Old Book Suiter m the Fugitive Em- bvzzlur. New York, Sept 27.—Cnpt. Henry W. Howgate, Inrmorly eliiet of tlio woatlier bureau in WasliliiiUon, D. O., anil who has been a iuumve fn in Jus tice since tho winter of 1880-81, was arrested today at 10 o'clock on Ninth street between Broadway ami Fourth avenue by Detective A. L. Drummond of this tit.' uctmg for I. SIotIius Mor ton, secretary of agriculture ut Wash ington. Howgate was not only ch'.of. but disbursing officer of rbe weather bu reau. His oabeMlewquM, forgeries, -U Lareeu. <. It U aiwg.sl. aggroguted $370,000 at least. Ho was tiu officer ut tho regular army niul tieiug a genial, whole-souled man, h.ul hosts ot friends. Tliero ore seven lndietmeius hanging over Howgate, each couta'ulnjj a num ber of counts. He was arrested in 1881 hut escaped from au officer who had him in charge on n visit to his home. He disappeared a ad has not since been seen mid IdontiOcd by any United States officers. Ho was known to huve left Washington with a woman, not his wife. He had a family at that time. He now has a daughter who lives In Newberry port, Miss. The woman with whom he lied from Washington lias long since left hint. Howgate was, when ho fled from Washington, nn active, black-haloid man in the prlmo of life. He is now W years old, bent and broken, and with gray hair nnd beurd* . Tluingh tbo Unlttid States officers have been bunc'.ug all over tbe United States for Howgate, Ue lias been living quietly here In New York city as :i dealer in secondhand bunks. His place of business was it No. SO Fourth av enue, in a basement. Ho Uas bud cards printed bearing tlio namo of “Harry Williams,’ and by tout name Uo lias been known for yours to tlio book trade of tols and other cities. Howgate’s card* announced that bo dealt in “old magazines, reviews and periodicals.’* His resldouco was nt No. 1U5 West Tenth street, where he bad •‘bachelor lodgings,*’ and kept a largo amount of stock for h'.s stank Four months r.g> Drummond learned that Howgate was lu tlu book business here or in Brooklyn. Ho hunted nil the book stores 111 tho two.oitles. It was believed that he was nn. employe as no bookseller named Ilowgata was tow* to • trade. Wliwer ony ot Drummond’s a gouts beard that •* man resembling Howgata in appearance had boon found In a book stoni that employ© was shadowed. Ills acquain tance was formed and his pvlvatn life uas fathomed by conversation. A week asro Drummond tried tho plan of hauntlnar book ealee auction room*. It was a happy 'thought. A clerk of the war department In Waishlngton who know Howgate, made the rounds of the auction roams every day. On (Monday the clerk «?aw Ho wrote enter an auc tion room on Broadway near Tenth street. The clerk was not certain, how ever, as Howgate had changed. From a nun weighing upward of 100 pounds he has grown to be a dried up old man of about 145 pounds. The derk went again to the book sale on Tuesday and entered into conversa tion with Howgate. From Howgate’s manner of speaking the ctark was cer tain that he stood before the fugitive at la*t. • Drummond took the midnight train for Washington on Tuesday and yester day got a bench-warrant from Judge Bingham of the supreme court. He.re turned this morning. When Howgate was arrested he cem irked auletly: •*X know when I am beaten.” The detective and his prisoner got on board a Fourth avenue car and went to tho federal building. United States Commissioner Shields turned the oaeo over to United States Commissioner Al exander. United States District Attorney Wal lace MacFarlane appeared for the .gov ernment.
