AN APOLOGY. An AeuMent Catuvo Much Slaappolnt- ment. On account of an accident to the boiler furnishing steam *o operate -he Tele- graph's printing press, the Telegraph was compelled to suspend printing yesterday's Irsue after a few thousand coplea had teen printed, thereby causing many peo ple to miss their paper. The accident Is deeply regrotted by the publishers of the piper, who make this explanation and apology. A now boiler of greater capacity has been put In and the paper win be Issued hereafter even earlier than before. OUT DOWN TO FACTS. “Before tho tvur,” says Mr. Wutouu'a paper, " cotton sometime* was as low It* It Is notv. uud the South was pros- Iteroue, blit then tho expenses of lilt! uatloual govvrunivat, wli.t-h bad to bo raised by taxing the people, were leas Hutu fUO.Ol'jO.UOU, whereas now they have Ineronaod to yit(jO,(JOO,(JUU nnuu- nlljr.” Tills Is usctl la arguing Uic caso of tlio Populist party, out It serins lo un particularly inapplicable to tho nunouneeil pulley of Hint parly. Does It pr.)|K*e to retlueu Die oxpeiuies i>t the Itovcrnmeut? Wo bail umlcrsmd Hint It proponed to Inervase them enormous ly. The bills lulroiliu-eil by :is mem ber* In congress, nimust wlihau) ex ception, culled for an euunnou* ex penditure of money. lu gross, it las been cstlmnlcd that they provided for the expending of some.thug lUto fSO,- 000,000.000. Surely, luid they repre- eented u parly Whose Idea was to in crease the prosperity of the peopla hy reiluclng the expenditures of the gov ernment. they wod-al uot have bun.- ducat! such hills. Wo ha Vo Mr. Wat son's word for It, in thi seuienoud we Have quoted, that tho exp-mo-v hr Hit, government have to he raised by tax- Tug the people. It may ho fairly said, therefore. In view ot tho enormous ex peudltun-s propo.i.t hy lit leaders that the party proposes to lucceqso the government's expellees nnd thereroro to Increase taxation. Further on, Mr. W.itmm's piper says that “before tho war tho national bonded Indebtedness was only nbont *50,000,000, with pmatleally no olhtr debts, whereas now the ted ».al govern ment has mi lnten%t-bc-arlnjt debt of Pl.iUlO,000,000, anil the state, lmm'.ra- pul, oouuty ami other bonds swell tho ■Sgregate to nlwut *o,mrt>,dmui-'0. u<* sides the private murtagago Imlehled- iions. Is It a wonder Unit with all this extra load to carry iho Mouth rann..t prosper with cotton down to 5 cents as she did before tlio .vnr wit t the sta ple equally as low?’ No, unless bj the use of capital she lias borrowed h-r capacity to product* hns been more tlrnn proportionately Increased. It that cap ital has been unwisely mvcstoO, so that It does not prAtluco tho Interest she promised to pay, then the Mouth is worse oft for having bolro.vod It. It It docs produce rnorv than tho Interest, then the debt Is not * burden, tu tho sense- that It makes tho condition *of our people Worse tlriu if It dhi not ex 1st nnd the capacity for production cr»- atod by It were til*,, at.se'lt. We do not care to give nn opinion a. ,j whether or not this borrowed money has Ixvu wisely US«1, hut whetlnr wisely or unwisely used, wo sso no way of getting rid of the debt honestly exet-pt by paying It. In Iho luoamtme, we »i-e nothing 'mt hunt to tho y. utu lit, the threats of tho party of which Mr. Watson is a leader to so d.-grado the ourreney that thl* debt would he, lu effect, wholly or p.tr'ir.lly rsptth- nted. Such threats compel tho South's creditors fo resort to baivlt uteostiten to recover their capital at the earth st possible memeul, nnd makes it 5m- poegibl* for the Simthe.-u dobtor to se cure rollef from the v.-op-o jest ohle to help him. lie tally l»- au h.-u.»t man, fully worthy of trust, but he can not be exported, oven though he has borrowed gold, to repay In gold, if In the meantime a depre ciated currency has become the only money. Hie capitalist, therefore, feels that he must protect hTiretf while ho yet has ..i.poe.uu.ty to do so, by getting bis tutaev Into bis pos session again. Mr. Watson's Vapor further stysihat in the years inim-MItieiy emending the war oar seotnu was prosper, rv. If that is so, why did uot H it pr s.vr- Hy manifest Itself in tl.e tax rent-nsJ Why dhl not the farms gtW rich, 'n- stead of getting -t eor ami fnr.i.er Into debit Is *t lot <o that Ju-.'ng these very year* too farmer* ,.f ii,e South created * larger llKpart'oa ot debt than during any other per,id , u our history I rhe war dosed in ibe sumiiier of '03 auj a *[iva; panic cc- enrred In the fall of 73. This prosper ous period of wii’.i-h Mr. Watson speaks couhl not, therefere, have extended over more thua six years. If It was indeed * .pgt^jMfOa* period, why did It end In such A fearful crash? 'Why bate tax value* since tltcu, ns they did not before, ulenlily Increased? It Is poMlblu that during the six year* lu quest'uu ther.f may hare been a sort of tlctitloiis prosperity, based on hope laxt.-j-l of Wusilh actually leal- liad, as was the cav; recently in Ar gentina. It Is nlst true, perhaps, Hint a few men, n-d .-ngegi-d fn proiliiciivo industries but in sipplylag the needs of oilier men <o engiged, Wurb m-iually prosperous-broker*, commission mer chants, money leaders, etc., wo menu. But most of jhese, even, were deceived hy appearances, were caugut hy the financial storm of is?3 and wrecked. We think If Mr. Watson will look for solid evidence of prosperity—the evidence that actual ivenlth liae been accumulated—lie will fluil that Hie farmers of Georgia jmvii bmiu far mire prosperous during years than during Ibe six yeirs to which he refers. LKT~OB QUIT CROAKING. - It Is diilicuii vo estimate Dm effect orf the practical affair* of ili-j business world of the mental condition of men, but it Is und mbiedly largo. When men become ••irsvignatiii Hopeful In I nisi ness affairs, losing sight of tho truu operations mostly on hope, wo have fuels of tho situation snd basing their wlint is known ns a “boom,’’ shortly to be followed hy a collapse that knocks down cardboard fortunes quick ly built up nnd reduces men who thought themselves rich to poverty. A few years ago there were numerous ex amples of tho “boom" In tho Mouth. Men were then over-confident. Tlio reverse Is now the condition. Tlioro Is u luck of confidence. Instead of over estimating, men undent* limn to Iho {’ttluo of Iho opportunities open to them. They look to the future wlUi dread, Instead of with supremo confi dence that it has u fortune lu store for them. Gloomy talk and iliuld action hare taken tho plaeo of extravagantly hopeful tnlk and rash action. . Tim latter state of iuluil Is Just ns unreasonable ns tho finger. As long ns It continues prosperity can hardly return In full measure to tho coiuitry, because tho opportunities out of which prosperity grows will rciunlu neg lected. It Is about time, however, that uieu should ccuso talking in tho glopmy way that originated With the panic. The conditions that produced tbn panto have passed away, Constant "croak ing'' can only prolong tlio period of depression'by preventing the return of Confidence. Tho circumstance* are really such as to Justify meu In being-' cheerful. Then why should tUey not, talk cheerfully?, They will not only he happier for doing an, .but' they will be more truthful, nnd will contrllnuo to the rescuing of the couutry speedily from the lingering after-effects of tho panic. Cheerfulness that Is reasonable luis n money value n't u time like this. It Is not n marketable article; perhaps, hut every good cltlxen ought to ho wil ling to contribute of It to tho publlo welfare. .... LOUISVILLE} AND INABHVILI.E, The Annua?

AU efforts .at other precincts to scratch Mr. Bolfeu- lllet's name met with but little suocess. Some few single-barrel Democrats also scratched Mr. Atkinson's name at the head of tho ticket. These were only a few soreheads, however, and their votes will not be missed. As the returns from the country pre cincts began to come in yesterday after noon enthusiasm ran high and the .Tele, graph office was besieged from S o'clock until long after midnight by a crowd of anxious people who were anxious to know about the election. At night the Tele graph dinplayed bulletins In front of the office on 3lulberry street and kept the crowd interested In the returns from all over the state. , Up to midnight It was found thht the full returns could not be had from all precincts, and only the vote for governor can be given. This does not Include War rior and Rutland, two distant country pre- The vote for governor in the precincts heard from is as follows: Atkinson. Hines.

It Is thought that a larger vote was polled In this precinct in yesterday’s election. Yesterday's vote will fall short of 1892, when the total Democratic vote was 2.858. and the total Populist vote 328. The total vote was 3.186 and Northen’s majority was 2,430. The apparent gain by the Populists Is by no means a gain: in fact as they voted more negro Republicans than they did Populists and there Is no doubt but that the Populists are not as strong as they were a year agio. The returns will be consolidated at the court house at noon today, when It will be found that the Democratic ticket has been elected by a very large majority. Hon. N. E. Harris received a large vote for senator and it Is thought he will lead the ticket. The Democracy of Bttjb owes an ever lasting debt of gratitude to Messrs. John J. Noone, S»d R. Wiley and J.P P. Lowe for their' hard and efficient services in tho good cmiFff yesterday. These gentle men had no hope of reward, nor did they wont reward, but they worlce for the good of the party at_the polls valiantly all day, To them more than to any one else is due the gratifying result of yester day’s election. One noticeable feature of the election was the active work at the polls of Hon. Charles L. Bartlett. He could be seen on every side keeping a sharp lookout for voters, and few of them passed him with out voting the straight Democratic ticket. A COLD-BLOODED MURDER. A Feud of Long Standing Ends in tho Killing of a Man. New Orleans, Oct 3.—Ten years ago Thomas Sweeney shot ond killed n man by the name of Ferguson. Thl»j afternoon a son of Ferguson, named Joseph, shot and^ mortally wounded Sweeney. Tho shooting took place in an electric car on St. Charles aveuuo. It was witnessed by a dozen people and was one of tho moat cold-blooded crimes that has occurred In this city for some years. Young Sweeney was motorman, and it was while he was at his post of duty that ho was phot down. Ho was attacked tvithout warning, and before he realized what was taking place his murderer had seat three bullets into Ills head. The feud between tho Ferguson nnd Sweeney family dates back ten years. It was on account of politics. The Fer gusons claim that n man by the nnmo of Hoppe Induced Sweeney, who was shot today, to kill old man Ferguson. A. year Later noppe was killed by a brother of tho man who shot Sweeney today. The murderer was arrested. all Fevers the -worst and most serious la Dengue or break- bone fever.
