PASSING OUT Olf TUB FOG BKLT. The nktca are brightening for Macon ■nd Ute region round about u«. We have hod a long period of depression, and business men havo been sorely tried nnd perplexed to keep their af fair* In a healthy condition. It lisa been » long nlego of waiting aud watch ing. The situation, a* It ban been for Ihe Inal two years, Utay be fitly repre- touted by an ocean BUoUUtv lu a fog belt. We Went on an Atlantic steamer recently when St was going through such uu oxperMttcw. We struck tho fog belt In tho night, and tho passengers were made aware of Um preseuco of danger by the blowing of the fog horu Bhd Ihe slowlug down of the spued. During tho night nml u part of tho next day this heavy fog was ,ou our ocetm pathway ami tho mournful blowing of the fog horn was iho signal of distress that wo gave and received from other vessels passing on either side of ns, or following lu pursuit of us. on all parts of tho vessel men were stationed, who umile constant reports to tho ottloer on watch, und tho umu «u the prow, with bln souud.ug line, kept up a monoto- bous cry of the depth of the seu. We literally fell our way nloug Iho paths of tho deep, with no light above us or ubout us, uud no sound save tbu mourn ful swish of tho waves against Uu) ves sel amt tho still more mournful blow ing of the fog horu.

The livening News, our local con temporary, announces tho change lu Uio ownership of the Telegraph to Its redden In terms so laudatory of tbu Pew owner as to make their reproduc tion in these columns difficult. Much more Is said tn praise'of him than lie deserves. The kindly feeling and l/risid-mludcducK* shown by the ed itors of the News are, however, keenly appreciated. Tho opportunity Is one which tlio 'IVlcgniph cannot neglect for Allying wli.-it tt. has not been able to say, with propriety and prreervlng Its self- respect dnring several years. It Is that Ute Telegraph desires to lie on the friendliest terms With Us oreulug coa- temporary. Tlu-ro Is no profit to cither In n war between the two papers, and the whole exiH-nse of the war Is t»ald by the city In which both are pub- IIhIkxI. We Ui'ittk experU-uec has dem onstrated that this Is true. For sev eral years, under another management, the News devoted practically ull of its onerglen to an ctTort to tear down tho Telegraph nnd to build up lu tills coin- tnuully the business aud influence of a newspaper published lu Atlanta. This efTort was persistent nml florae, uud outuldtrnble nblHty wus displayed lu uuikmg IL Wo do not know to what extent It was successful. There nothing by whlrb to gnugo the extent to which It deprived tbo Telegraph of power to servo Macon, by creating prejmllc' against it aud lessening Its business. But to the full extent tho influence of tho News tlio Tele graph was made odious and Its capaci ty fur usefulness to tho public llm tied. Tlio outcome of this warfare was bankruptcy for the News ns well ns for tlm Telegraph. Tho traitor to Ma- oun's Interests suffered, along with Its victim. Through a. senseless malignity Macon was deprived to n largo extent of tbo heneflts which should hnvo come to tt from a prosperous, progressive nnd harmonious press. There la room enough for both pa pers nml there Is no proper rivalry be tween them except lu eudntvors servo tho oommuulty In which' they are published, In that Held tho Tele graph will try to keep nhctul of tlio News. NOW A FIGHT FOR THE HOUSE Democrats Will Be Lucky if Thay Re tain Control of the House of Representatives. ARE SURE TO LOSE MANY SEATS Welt Prepared Sillmata of theVbsse*. •f alas Urrooersu laa ailthsfllsloi Jr 111# Xorrmber Klrellonj.- Kaina trine Csteolsllons, It Is said that a great many Western people uio earning South this winter with a view of acekiug homes lu this seotlon.

Tlio scut linen t lu tho state in favor of a caucus of the Democrats In the next legislature seems to 1k< almost unanimous. With fifty-three opposition vetes tn the legislature It would bo manifestly unfair to the men who will sock office at the hands of tho legisla ture wlm have umde an aggressive tight for Democracy to expose theoa to a solid opposition of dfty-thtvo votes, with a divided Democracy. Democrats only should divide which Deutormts should fill tho offices in Georgia. A rote for Whitaker tn the Novem ber election means n rote to spend thousands of Georgia money for the pnrpose of extirpating the salaoll kail tragus tn Minnesota ami for other wild cat schemes. A rots for Bartlett means a vote for a dean, eooootnlcnl administration of puMto affairs, with • lightening of the burden of national taxation ra Georgians. Which will the people of the Sixth district chosse Notice has been given that a bill will be lutredorcd Into tlio legislature au thorising Macon to Issue bo&la for the purpose of paving tho street*. Macon needs paving, especially tn the business portion of tbe city, and the Tdegraph hopes this blU will become a law. When gentlemen like Oongreesmen Bynum u-nd Senator Faulkner, ordi narily well posted In political affair*, claim that the Dcmorrals will secure a nwjority sufficient to ooatrol the next house of representatives, H I* perhaps well to know wlxxt foundation -there is for these claims. It Is on easy matter to cuiry elections on paper, but not so easy to carry Ohem at -he polls, says O. O. Btealey la the Louisville Courier- Journal. The tram is. that, viewed from the present political standpoint, neither one of she two great parties has any. substantial ground* upon which to base the clllm* thtut li will carry -the -lower -houio of the Flfty- fourtili congress. The political com plexion of that house Is extremely doubtful, and <wlll. In the judgment of -many conservative and -well-posted public men, be as olose a as was the presidential elsotlon of 1884. If an election -was to occur next Monday ithere is not the slightest doubt that -the RspuUloana would carry the houso ty perhaps fifteen or twonty majority, tin foi* ua itely for the Democrats Wie election la seven weeks off, und in that time the Democrats can dt> much to (avert Impending defeat. Than which -will help the Democrats more than anything else hi a revival of tbe busl- IIess Interests of -the country and good fall trade. That business all over the country has materially Improved since congress adjourned arid the new tariff taw -has gone Into effect there Is abundant evidence, and tf tibia im provement continues and Increases In volume until -the 1st of November, Domocratto prospects for success will be better and bright-.-r. There are now 218 Democrats tn the house, and tn order to -hold a majority In -the next house they must elect tills year 173 members. At -the first blush It looks like they could‘do this, but when carefully considered tt wilt be seen ttxvt the loss of -forty-two oonirrcssionat districts In the union would,Vying about Uofealt. It should be btirho In mind -tiluut tin fihe election of 1893 the popular ity of Mr. Cleveland nnd -t^io matchless and brilliant oampatgn work of Mr. Whitney, aided by the frequent oiling of the splendid campaign machine, carried Into congress many Demo crats, much to their own surprise nnd to tho utter consterntillon of their po litical opponents. The tidal wave, as It •were, 'that swept over the country at that -time gave the Democrats thetr 1 resent overwhelming majority, and a 11turn of thtst wave this year under ithe protecting -wings of -the Republi cans would cause tho same disaster to the Democrats, in 1892 at least twenty- live reliable BepuMJ-cun districts In Northern states ware carried by tbe -Dmeocrait*. It Is folly not to suppose that sit of -there districts will not bo redeemed by the RopubUcutis in No vember, for they with TJats of itself Is abundant proof of the great uncer tainty of the noxt Mouse. It Is pretty site to predict that alt tho districts In the North that elected the Democratic olndi-tates' to* emigre.-,* In 1892 by small -Mummies -will elect Re publican candidates this yenr. and that every blessed district tn tho North that went Republican -that year will remain In -the Republican oolumrf this year. Now 1st us briefly run over these Northern district* that gave small Dem ocratic majorities Jn 1892. and 'see how many -there were und the size of the pluralities, taking the states tn thotr al phabetical brder. A CANVASS BY STATES. In California wcj should return the four Democrats from the First, Second, Fourth and Sixth districts. Probabili ties are Poaullst and Fusion will carry the two districts In Colorado. In Connecticut we wilt lose Sperrv, which Is no turn Plgott got -there by 3,000 plurality. Unless a tidal wave cqmes. we will hold rigotx'a district. Do Forrest was elected by 2,500. There to a good Show to return him. Will lose cm district. In Delaware tt will be very cloee. Oausey's majority was only'tot, but we ought to hold bur own In that district In the present house there are two congressmen from the state «t lsrge In Illinois, tikick anal Hunter. We will lore these two men. In the Second dlstriot the Dtsnocrntio maturity was 18,000; we will carry that. The Third DMrlct nm- •nrttjr was Jt.ooo. Fourth, majority .,000. These three Chicago district* de- pend bn the organiufton of the party In Cook oounty, Tt U not by any means certain ttut we wtlT -have these dis tricts. Tlio Democratic majority In Cook county . white 33,000, may be swept sway. The Republicans will elect thetr candidates In the Sixth. Seventh, Eighth, Ninth, Tenth. Eleventh. Four teenth. Mfterath and Twentieth dis tricts Democrats will carry the Tw-elfth. Thirteenth. Seventeenth and Nineteenth. The Stxtexnth and Eigh teenth districts are doubtful with the chances In favor of the Republican!*. This gives us a lorn of probably five tn Uitnbta. DEMOCRATIC LOSSES IN 1100- SIKltDOM. In Indiana the Democrats will carry tho Bcepad, Third, Fourth, Twelfth nud Thirteenth districts. The Repul> Henna will carry the Sixth, Ninth, Tenth nml Eleventh districts. The lighting ground between the two par ties will be in the First, Fifth. Sev enth and Eighth districts. \Ir.

Mr. Brookshtre, tn the Eighth dis trict, wa* elected liy about l.floo ma jority in 1S02. still this district ma bo reckoned this year ss one of the doubtful. Mr. Hammond, Democrat, carried the Tenth district two Tears ago by only 42 majority, and this' veir a Uepiildlcan victory can almost tio esaeedfiL Mr. .Martin carried the Eli-viuitli district by 7.17 plurality, nud lb,- chances are now that the Hcpnli- licans trill elect then e.iu.lltiate, Mnj.

In Massachusetts tile PenmoniU only lmve three representative* in the present ;house—Stevens, Everett and O’Neil.- -Everett was only elected tv nbout 70 majority, and tlio loss of Ills district to- tho Democrats is so proba ble that a Democratic lo»* of one In Massachusetts can be counted upon. REPUBLICAN GAIN IN (MICHIGAN. In (Michigan the prospect* are tbe Democrats will lose the First dlstriot, F.fth, Seventh and Tenth. Three dis- trlots were carried by the Democrats two years ago by email pluralities. It Is ssfe to count bn tne loss of one In Minnesota. eMier the Third district or the Sixth district. One In Rhode Blond, and one In Wyoming. in Nelirauks. Ur. Bryan only carried tho First district by 114 plurality, and this district cart be safely counted for tbe Republicans In November. U the Demcrats and Index>ende»» can come Highest of all in Leavening Power.—Latest U. S. Gov’t Repoil Powder pure If tile Democrats rot four out of the right New Jersey districts, they will bo doing exceedingly weH. Tney now have six. The result of -tbs congressional elec tions In New York will depend largely upon the ability of Tammany Hall and the regular Democracy of the stale, cqmmonly called -the machine, to har monise -the mugwump element. Out of the thirty-four New Yoilt d'jtlrlct* the Democrats now have wtiKueen, and they should certoJnly retain -their pow er tn the hint sixteen districts of the state, comprising New York and Kings c’.mnty. and retain control of the Buf falo district.' This would give them one-half of the delegation. They hive fighting ctvmce only In the Twentieth and Tsrsnty-flnst districts, which they now hold. But a kus of -three members from New York in the next' house Is not Improbable. OHIO. PENNSYLVANIA, WISCON SIN. Tho Democrats held tn Ohio now eleven out of the twenty-one dt-itrlclu. In the Ninth dtutrict. Ritchie, Demo crat, received only 14 majority. That district will go RapubHcan tills year. In the Sixteenth district, Pierson, Dem ocrat, was cleaned by only 41 majority, so (that district can be counted sate for the RepublloanB. The districts repre sented by -Mr. -Hniter, Mr. Iktrt and Mr. dohneon are exceedingly doubtfal, with chances rather against the Demo crats. The probabilities are strong that the next delegation from Ohio will stood thirteen Republicans to right Democrats. All -thtw the Democrats,pan hope to do tn a rock-ribbed Republican state like Pennsylvania -will be to carry those hoavy Democraltlc districts whtdh have •been graciously given them by the Repifblioain gerrymander of the state. These districts are the Third, Eighth, Ninth, SevcnteertCh, Nineteenth, Twenty-sixth and Twerity-seventh. As we Crave ten Democrat* from Penn sylvania In -the present htause this dhows a loss of three In that state The Wisconsin delegation stands now seven Democrats to three Republicans. This year (the Republicans will reclaim three districts land have a fighting chance in the Seventh, Fourth snt Fifth districts. The be3t the Demo crats can do Ja Wieconstn is to carry six out of (the ten districts. DEMOCRATIC LOSSES. According -to the above, the proba ble (Democratic loss In the North, East and West -wilt be something like tills, nnd ithts Is a conservative estimate: Connecticut, 1 sure and 1 exceedingly doubtful; Illinois, 2 certain, with 3 very (much In doubt: Indiana, 4; Mas sachusetts, 1; Michigan, 4; -Minnesota, 1:.-Rhode Island, 1; Wyoming, 1; Ohio, 3:‘ Nebraska, It New Jersey, 4: New York. 3; Pennsylvania. 3; Wisconsin, ‘ TMtal, 30. Now, let’s take a look nt the South ern states nnd see -what the prospects for -Democratic tones Itirere ore tn lhat section. IN THE SOUTHERN STATES. Alabama 9. Arkansas 8, Georgia 11, 'Mississippi 7 and Texas 13 -will send solid Democratic delegations, making in oil 48. North Carolina is almost cortntn to return right out of its nine districts, raid there Is a. chance to beat Settle. Republican, tn the Fifth district. Florida -will return Us two Demo crats. In Kentucky the First, Second. Fourth, Fifth, Sixth, Eighth. Ninth raid Tenth districts are certain to return Democrats. There may he a close con test In tihe Third jRstriot. and a com- bln.iititm of circumstances'might re sult In the loss of tho Seventh, or Lex ington, district. Tho Eleventh district 111 return a Republican representa tive. It Is therefore a probabtlttty, from the present outlook, of n loss of one, if not two, tn Kentucky. The sU-uatlon in Louisiana Is so com plicated at this time, oivig to the Idiocy of some of the Di-mix-rntls (aiders In that sLite on Che sugar question, ns to make tt Impossible to render an Intelli gent foreami 5f the result there In No vember. It la. however, highly probable thait the Louisiana Democratic organi sation (will recover their lost senses within the next few weeks, stand by the Democratic party of the nation, which lus always been its best and only ft'lend, and send six Democrats to represent them In the Fifty-fourth congress. If they should not do this, however, good-bye to nit thetr sugar Interests in the future, ns far na the Democratic forty is concerned, nnd goodbye to the next house. In Maryland the Democrats may lose 1he Fifth nnd Sixth districts, and the pro*peots ore strong they will lose the latter. In Missouri the Rsptibltains have ., ohanre for carrylr--- the Fourth.
