Senator Faulkner treats all tboao re
port* which come direct to him front
Hc|nil)lic.in hoatlquarlurs with good
Democratic t:ouUun|>l. lie in lottink
tbo ItopublicanH do tbo talking, while
boiapuahinkforward Ins work with tbo
zeal of a missionary. It is sikuillcant,
liowovor, that tbo Kopubliuuns no lou-
tfor claim a landslide victory. Itotli par
ties recognize tbut It is to bo a bitter
llkht, and tbo triumphant party will
carry tbo House by a narrow mujorily.
Senator Faulkner merely claims a
'‘working majority," and tho Republi
cans “a safe majority."
From this standpoint the situation
chfingos daily. Consultations arti hold
by tbo loaders nearly every moruittk,
and often tho calciilut ions for an on tiro
State aro reversed from that of tbo day
preceding;. A district which is consid
ered invincible one day Inis to bo prac
tically abandoned tbo next, because of
some unfortunate incident in the can
didate's curoor. Local dissensions tig
tiro uh important factors, and suddenly
change an assurance of victory to de
tent. Hut a careful estimate after visit-
in* both hcudipiurtors is that the Dom
oernts seem to be in the ascendancy, or
at least, tho Republicans do not appear
as confident as they did two weeks ago.
•Senator 15ray of Delaware, and Sena
tor Hut lor of South Carolina, wore at
tho Democratic headquarters to-day.
Senator Cray said regarding the politi
cal outlook in Ida Stato: "Wo will elect
a -Democrat ic Legislature, and a mem
l !sOr of the national House of Represen
tatives. We never lrtive any can lidates
fortlie 1'intod States Senate until our
Legislature is elected. Therefore, 1 do
not say who will run, but I feel certain
that wo will have two Democratic Sen
ators instead of one in tho next Con
gress.”
Ho would not discuss Ambassador
Bayard as a candidate. It is generally
■believed bore, however, tbHt America’s
representative at the Court of St.
James will be returned to the Senate.
Senator Butler thinks tho entire del-
■t'ki.tiow from South Carolina will be
Democratic. He still thinks ho may tri
umph over Tillman, but to bis Senato
rial compeers, and to those who view
the situation from an unbiased stand
point, Ids fight is regarded as a hope
less one.
The largest order for campaign liter
ature received by the Democratic cam
paign committee comos from the State
Democratic committee of ‘Wyoming,
which wants the speeches of Represen
tative Bryan of Nebraska on silver, and
Senator Milli’ on the tariff, by the
thousands. Tho Democrats of Wyom
ing are devoting all their euergics to
electing a Legislature, as the next Leg
islature will choose two Senators, one
to fill the vacancy already existing, and
tbo other to succeed Senator Carey,
whose term expires next March. Dem
ocratic success iu Wyoming would in
sure beyond all question a Democrat
ic majority iu tbo Senate during the
next Congress.
Because Secretary Carlisle has not
yet notified the Democratic mauagers
in New York whether ho intends to
make any campaign speeches in that
State has been regarded in some quar
ters as an indication that he is not in
terested in the election of Senator Ilill
as Governor. This is a misconception
of the position of the Secretary. He
has not discussed New York politics
because lie dees not know much about
them, and any remaik from him might
bo construed as an interference. While
ho may not enter the State to speak,
be is taking an active interest in the
Democratic campaign, and is writing
many personal letters to Democratic
leaders who are friendly with the Ad
ministration. We is certainly not indif
ferent, to tbo result of the New York
campaign. Tho real light there is bing
ing on local differences, witli which the
party in general have but little to do.
The result, will unquestionably have an
important bearing on the future of tin
national party, hut the fight itself, ow
ing to internal quarrels and differences
of opinion, must be net'led by the State
Democracy. Therefore, if Mr. Carlisle
refrains from any effort to improve the
conditions in New York bo would only
be exercising the same discretion which
Ims made Vice-President Stevenson and
other prominent men hesitate to ills
enss tlm New York situation.
A letter Ims just been received from
the Hon. II. C. Tompkins, chairman of
tbo State Democratic Committee of
Alabama, in which be assu os Senator
Faulkner that the State will bo carried
by the Democracy by a lurgo majority.
If tlie Democrats turn out their full
strength ho believes every district iu
tbo Stato will go Democratic.
Senator Faulkner lias received infor
mation that, Illinois is being Hooded
wit li literature on silver, sent there un
der the frank of Senator Don Cameron
of Pennsylvania. Senator Cameron has
bad Presidential aspirations for a long
time, ana is pluming himself to accept
tho Hopublicau Presidential nomina
tion, providing that be and Senator
Quay can force the parly to declare for
tree silver. His distribution of docu
monts at t he present tune is taken as a
continuation of bis cITorts to secure tile
voto of tlm silver men in 180(1.
Prosperous Georgia.

In pursuit of their efforts to make
tbo people of Georgia believe that, they
are oppressed and mi-erable, the Popu
list orators dwell frequently upon the
alleged fact that plottage* have accu
mulated to a frightful extent in this
State.
1 f tbo Populist demagogues had cared
to know and toll tbo truo condition of
affairs they could have discovered easi
ly that the mortgage indebtedness of
Georgia per capita is remarkably light
in comparison with that of nearly every
other State in the Union. In fact, it is
smaller only in the the two States of
North and South Carolina.
Tlm following are the official figures
of mortgage indebtedness por capita as
given by a special report of tbo Census
Bureau:

The total average for the States repre
sented, #00
It will bo seen that the average for
Georgia is #81 less than it is for nil tho
States. Since the figures given above
were obtained by the Government’s
agents the mortgage indebtedness of
Georgia has undoubtedly been largely
decreased, and the great crops this year
will bring it down still lower.
Wo believe it to be uu incontrover
tible fact that the people of this State
are in a better financial condition to
day than they have been at any time
since tbo war, that they are accumulat
ing property faster than they ever did
buforo, and that the State is on the eve
of an era of uprecedented prosperity.
The calamity-howler lias undertaken
.. big job in Georgia. The facts are
against him, mui they are a good deal
bigger than he is.
With step ns noiseless ns the summer air
Who come* In beautiful decay? Her eyes
Dissolving with a levorlsh glow of light, and
On her cheek* a reay tint, as tf the tip
Of beauty's finger fnlnlly pressed It there!
Alas! Consumption Is her name."
This terrible disease, which has num
bered its victims by millions, comes iu
the most insidious way. Getting one’s
feet wet; a slight cold, a cough, nnd
then other discretions until it gets
firm hold. Why fall a victim when a
cure is within reach? Dr. Pierce’s Gold
en Medical Discovery will effectually
cure consumption iu its earlier stages.
For weak lungs, spitting of blood, asth
ma, lingering coughs and kindred ail
ment*, it is a sovereign remedy.
A Marvelous Showing.
The U. S. Government, through the Agri
cultural Department, has been investigating
the baking powders for the purpose of inform
ing the public which was the purest, most
economical and wholesome.
The published report shows the Royal Baking
Powder to be a pure, healthful preparation,
absolutely free from alum or any adulterant,
and that it is greatly stronger in leavening
power than any other baking powder.
Consumers should not let this valuable infor
mation, official and unprejudiced, go unheeded.

The Southern extremity of tho pen
insular of Florida is ono huge marsh
known as the Everglades. Tins impen
etrable wilderness, or, rather, jungle, is
made up of about ull tho large county of
Dado, almost all of Monroe, the great
er part of Dee, much of DoSoto, and
most of Brevard. At the north end of
this singu'ar formation is Lake Okee
chobee, into which the Kissimmee and
other rivers discharge their waters and
which uro largely responsible lor tbo
vast swamp. This great stretch of tan
gle growth is in some places ninety
miles wide, extending fronftho Atlan-
t ic across to tbo gulf, and from its south
ern * xtremity northward is considera
bly over one hundred miles. There are
great stretches of cypress swamps, wil
dernesses of vines, lakelets of open wa
tor, immense regions of monlss with
comparatively dry spots in this desert
of untravorsablo and bewildering inter
mingling of a semi-tropical ifloru, with
a fauna of alligators, snakes, bears,
wildcats and other carnivora, while
geese, ducks, sea birds and other aquat
ic fowl dot tbo water and myriads of
tho other feathered tribes make the
somber cypress forests vocal. Tbo eu-
tire State of Florida is not much above
tho level of the sea and this dismal
waste is scarcely moro than a few dozen
feet liighei than tide water.
Throughout this everglade region no
huiunn being has over fully penetrated,
and t hore.nre lagoons that no human
eye has ever seen that aro much the
same as those of preglacial time. While
ihoro'nre large stretches on which sail
or rowboats might bo operated, there
are hundreds of intervening miry bogs
of ooz" and slime of unknown depth
that bar the way. There is no frost
season here—no season when a frozen
surface may be traversed—and! so this
dismal urea for thousands of yours has
been given over to such a production
as wuh in keeping with such au environ
ment. But it i-* uow contemplated to
penetrate this groat marsh with canal-
like ditches. witli a view of so lowering
tho general water line as to bring this
swampy mass into cultivation for the
products peculiar to this zone, and for
which the decaying vegetable matter
of the ages is supposed to be admirably
fitted. Little or nothing is known of
tbo geological substructure of tins pen
insular termination, Lut that an im
mense coral formation is its base is a
together probable. It is safe to predict
that excavations through this material
will reveal many skeletons of creatures
that found death in tho treacherously
yielding surface. In a dry limo this
compost bears up fairly well, but when
continued rains uro precipitated on it
tho entire area is inuitdated, when the
softened material is incapable of ses-
taining any of the larger quadrupeds.
These everglades aro interesting in
this, that they typify iu a manner the
early paleozoic conditions, when about
all the eat;tli was water and marsh. Of
course there aro no such creatures now
as wallowed in tho lagoons and crunch
ed the roots of the aquatic vegetation
in the earth’s earlier time, and yot in a
small way the present fauna of 'tho
great Florida swamp is typical of thoir
long ago ancestors. While the alligator
is nearly extinct in the regions of easy
access, the saurians of the everglades
have never boen much molested and
havo thoro attain jel a sizo and fierce
ness unknown to othor parts of tho
Stato. Strange cries aro sometimes
heard coming from within tho borders
of this inaccessible domain, a churning
of tho water attests encounters be
tween large and savage contestants,
while tbo flight and terrified screaming
of birds gives evidence that the in
stincts of the everglade brute are still
as sanguinary as they were before man
bad so evolved as to dominato over
them and exterminate them from the
earth.
Representatives of Liverpool expor
ters who have recently arrived in Mem
phis sum up the causes of the low
price of cotton as follows: The very
dull trade and low price of yarns iu
Lancashire, which is tho chief manu
facturing district in England, the large
supply of old cotton on hand and tne
estimate ofija nine million cropffior
184*4-5. /They say that people are blue
in iEngland,IJospeciallyltho 'spinners.
One of the representatives thinks that
other causes which have contributed to
low prices is the long delay and agitation
of tariff legislation, and the progress of
tho China-Japan war. China, it said, is
one of tile principal buyers of English
cotton yarn and manufactures, and the
prospect of the demand from that
source being decreased has had its ef
fect.
