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.
But by aud by tho fog lifted nud tho
cunahluc returned-aud tho shy was
blue ubovo our heads uud the wblto
caps rose at a bright Hue on the dlstaut
thoro nud tho vessel resumed Its rapid
spued aud Ute ocean about ua was
dotted with other vessels going and
coming.
This picture represents not Inaptly
the'oxpertuuco Utrough which this c.ty
and sectleu have passed. Wo struck
it fog belt one uljjht tw,» or three years
ago when tho Couslructlou Company
went to pieces, timuc then uuo after
another of our railroads aud business
Institutions lmve pouts down lit tho
darkuess mid nil kinds aud classes of
liiHlnnM hard been oouiiielled to go
slow and watch und wait for a brighter
outlook.
And now at last, aftor more than two
years of anxious waiting, Ute fugs he-

in all our history when there cuute so
many Inquiries from outsldo capital its

Tills city nnd section are
sure to gather their full share
of all these foreign Investments.
Ths thousands of iteople who
will visit the ' Inters'ato Dixie

A life like that of Oliver Wendell

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

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

a solid opposition of dfty-thtvo votes,
with a divided Democracy. Democrats
only should divide which Deutormts
should fill tho offices in Georgia.

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

-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. Taylor,

bo reckoned this year ss one of the
doubtful. Mr. Hammond, Democrat,

In Massachusetts tile PenmoniU

Massachusetts can be counted upon.

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.

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.
