And the ml' ration U already fairly itated. A two-year gubernatorial campaign is bound to make either the people or the oandtdatea mighty tired. Whether It be real or Besomed, Hr. MoKinley's confidence in the result of the eleotlon is beautiful to see. As the political storm approaohoa the aome of Its fury, the republican brethren show signs of terrlhle[seaslokness. General Fitzhngh Lee has been ordered to assumeo|;oommand of Mis. souri, with headquarters at Omaha. Tho effort to pull Grover Cleveland out of his sulking teutons '.failed.

If all Now York^stateJlshowod np os strong for Bryan as does the metropolis, the republicans would probably give up the fight. • As we feared would bo tho case, the success of tho striking 'anthracite coni iniuors seems to have] partially turned their heads.

We are to have no carnival king or queen—no royal family—at the Hay Day Carnival and Btreet Fair in Al bany, bnt there will he qneens without number. Every lady who rides in the grand oarnival procession will be an un crowned queen, and chivalry will give spontaneous homage to all—eaoh fair one being somebody's qneen, each wielding the scepter of her sex—each wearing the charming wreath of her own personality. Bnt there will be no favored royalty—no ante-carnival eleo tlon for the' bestowal of a orown and royal robes at so mnoh a vote. Tho oarnival qneen bnslness is all light, perhaps, but It is liable to engen der jealousies and array one social set against another. And then the reign of this counterfeit royalty has been made so common at carnivals and street fain of late that It is not nppreoiated any more by the common herd. Let ns have a grand oarnival parade with every fair one who rides in it a qneen. Let every family oarriage or pri, veto trap or vehicle of whatsoever kind that is decorated and entered be on an equality, each to reoeive the admiration and reward of its natural and artistlo beauty. THE DOWAGER EMPRESS. The Philadelphia Record thinks that If the rumors of the serious Illness of the Empress Dowager of China have been spread preparatory to Chinese ofll dal efforts to enable her to eeoape any form of punishment for the part taken by her in the reactionary and antt-for- elgn movement the expectation, of the Mandarlnate are likely to he disap pointed. The Power, are not gdng to permit themselves to be hoodwinked, While for political reasons they may nspeot ineradloable Chinese prejndloes and religion, customs, and may, there fore, demand of the Empress no pern anoewbioh would involve bodily vio lence (whereby the Emperor himself would suffer degradation in the person of his olfiolal aneestress), It will oorntalnly be required that the old lady shall be deprived of her power to do farther mis ohlef. Bo far from giving satisfaction In the Oocidental Cabinets, the reported death of Kang Yi and the sulolde of Yn Hsien have arqnsed cuspldon that all of the Chinese leaders In orlrne may oonvlently disappear or be pat beyond the reaoh of the arm of Jostloe in one way or another. Among the number who may thus vanish or be pnt ont of harm's way la the Empress Dowager. “AS ONE STiB DIFFERETH FROM ANOTHER.” They are having oarnlvals and fairs and oarnlvals and fain all over the oonntry this fall, bnt the Hay Day Car nival and Street Fair In Albauy on the (1st, (2nd and 28rd of November Is go ing to[be different from all the rest, and, we may say. better in some material respects. The street oarnival Idea now so popu lar throughout the oonntry originated right here In Albany in the first hay day carnival ever held in the state, or in the oonntry, so far as we know. Albany is, therefore, the pioneer in these street carnivals and fairs. And in the Hay Day Carnival and Street Fair this fall we ore going to have the biggest thiug we have ever bad in Albany. This is no Idle boost. The Herald is willing to stake it. reputation on it, knowing whereof it speaks. The program for the Hay Day Oarni val and Street Fair and a list of the free attnotlons will'be complete within the next week, and when it is issned It is going to be one that will draw the peo ple. _______ Everything seems to indicate that there will be a long delay In the final adjustment and settlement of the points at issue between the allied powers and the Chinese Empire.

There is no doubt about the result in Georgia nor in any congressional dis trict of the state. The electoral vote of the state will be for Bryan, and every democratic candidate in the state will be eleated. Bat this should not lull the demo cratic voters of the state into an indif- ferenoo and caase them to excuse them selves from going to the polls. It is the duty of evory democrat to vote on eleo- tion day. It is dne to the party nomi nees. And In oar own district it should be a pleasant duty to perform. The democratic nominee for congress, Hon. James M. Griggs, during the two torms be has served in the national legisla ture, has certainly earned a cordial and eathnsiastlo indorsement at the hands of the people of his district. He re ceived this in the party primary, but this is not the vote that will be finally plaeed to hla oredlt In the records at Washington. Let ns give him a good vote on next Tuesday—a vote that will furnish a fair idea of the democratic voting strength of the district.

' " ' Bays the Philadelphia Reoord: "The whole administration la on wheels, so to speak, and Washington has been well-nigh denuded of Its official popula tion exoept the few democratic clerks, who can get no leaves of absenoe, and the women, who have no votes. Cabi net members, heads of bureaus and ohlef clerks are nearly all gone. The other day a man from the far west arrived in Washington to attend to urgent business with the agricultural department, and called upon the secre tary, who was absont. Ho next asked for the assistant seorotary and for the oliief clerk, who were both on the stump. Ab the obief of the bureau of animal industry was also ou a party mission the western man had to wait for the appearauco of some othor official to traueaot his business. When the eloctiou shall be over and these patriots shall have saved the country—and thoir salaries—there will bo scarcely a gov ernment bureau in which the offlolal force will bo sufficient to bring np the arrearages of pnblio business, and con gress will bo assailed with fresh de mands for moro offices.” The gubernatorial race opens up early, and will have a long time to ran. The people had barely time to congrat ulate themselves that after the national eleotlon politloal agitation in Georgia would cease for a few months, at least, when evidence cropped out that the race for our next governor was already on. Mr. duBignon, Col. Terrell - and Hon. J. Pope Brown will, it seems assur ed, make the raoe, or, more properly, are making it already. Nearly two look upon Mr. Hanna ns an ideal per. son for Seorotary of the Treasury He Is a man of direot methods, and in offl ofal position would respond quiokly to ory for relief from Wall street. He would not care for what people might say. His politloal experience has made hard knobs on hla sensibilities.” J. K. Jones, ohairman of the demo- oratio national committee, is confident.

Among the interesting facts brought oat by the recent cei sas of the United States is the official claim that this is uow the richest country in the world. In a speech before the convention for social study, in Washington on Tuesday night, Dr. L. G Powers, chief statisti cian of the census, said: The present census when completed will unquestionably show that the vis ible material wealth in the country has value of $90,000,000,000, which means an addition since 1890, of $25,000,000, 000. This sura, added to the national wealth in the last decade, is compared to the savings of the people in that pe riod. They were the savings of a peo ple who were better fed, clothed and housed than any equal number of hu man beings in any other land or time, and yet it is a saving better than all the western continent had been able to make from the discovery of Columbus to the breaking out of the civil war. It is a saving which represents more houses and buildings, more furniture in homes, more implements and raaohinery to as sist man in his work, more and better means of communication, more good olothea, good books and personal adorn ment than the entire raoe had saved daring all the countless ages of strug gles from Adam to the delaration of our American independence.” Under an exeontive order Cuba has been consolidated into A'single military department, with General Wood in full control. From Santiago to Puerto Prin oipe the islanders are busily engaged in attending to their own affairs, with no thoughts of revolt or disorder. Cuba is pacified, sure enough, and the slender Federal garrison of the island might be still' further reduoedf/beyond all ques tiou, without danger to any pnblio or private interest involved. But when the whole trnth is told, it must be said that Cuba is no nearer the realization of her hopes for. independence than she was at the outbreak of the revolution. REFUSES TO TALK. From Wednesday's Herald- The Herald published yesterday af ternoon what purported to be an inter view of ex'President Cleveland with a staff correspondent of the Philadelphia Times in which Mr. Cleveland was quoted as predicting a land-slide for Bryan. The interview was considered of Booh importance that it was tele graphed from Philadelphia before it appeared in the Times. Those who. read it in the Herald might have readily understood that this paper didn't have much faith in the genuine ness of it. To us it had the appearance of beiog the outgrowth of some conver sation which some supposed friend might have hod with the ex-president, followed by a betrayal. And today we feel that this view of the matter is almost conclusively confirmed by a press dispatch from New York whioh says: "Grover Cleveland refnses either to deny or coufirm the report in the Phila delphia Times this morning In whioh he is quoted as predioting Bryan's election by a landslide. 'Nothing else Is being talked of among the politicians. The report whioh is expeoted to have snoh a tremendons bearing on the result of the eleotlon was entirely without effect on the stook market. If it had any effeot at >11 upon prices it was A favorable one.' Mr. Cleveland's refusal to either- deny or confirm the report is aooepted by everybody as a tacit confirmation. It is not believed that the Philadelphia. Times would publish a bogus inter-' view." The Joseph Habersham ohapterof the Daughters of the Revolution in Atlanta offers os a souvenir a silver snoon to every woman whose father fonght in the revolution. This is a gift, really, from the national sooiety,but the Atlan. ta chapter offers to aot as the represent ative of these old ladiee and desires to get their address.

There Is no lethargy or Indifference- now. Both the great parties are strain ing to their utmost to gain the advant age, and the popular Vote in next Tues day’s eleotlon will be enormous.

Georgia has forged ahead of Ken- tuoky daring the last ten years, and 1» now the third state in the south In point of population. And in many other 1th- portant reapeots Georgia has always been ahead of all the southern states. The Kansas City Times says: “No light considerations have cansed snch lifelong republican leaders and states men os ex Gov. Boutwell, ex Gov. Chamberlain, ex Senator Foster, E. L.

The cruiser Gelderiand, on which he is a passenger, is expected to reach Marseilles on tho 11th or 12 th of November. A woman of Danbnrg, Conn., diod re cently, leaving quite a little property to various persons. To him who was sup posed to be her favorite nephew she be queathed "my set of false teeth, which will bo found in the upper right hand drawer ot my bureau.” Tho young man at ouee concluded that liis aunt must have concealed some diamonds or other precious stones in the set of teeth. Accordingly he smashed up his bequest, hut found no jewels. He will uow con test the will. The Augusta Chronicle says: "If Bryan be elected, and the chances are he will be, those secret arcliieves of the government that relate to Cuba, Porto Rico and the Philippines will see the light of day, if somebody does not mis place them.” President Kruger, it is siuted. will travel incognito after he has visited Wllhelinina's court and thanked the young qneen for her aid and sympathy in the darkest honrs of his life. Oom Paul may travel in cog. as much as he Ukos, but his big, fat, bloated phiz is too well kuown the world over for him to hope to conceal his identity anywhere in Europe. There's only one face in the world like Oom Paul’s. New York city is keeping np her rep utatiou for disastrous fires. The confla gration of yesterday morning caused loss of life which may exceed a hundred, and occurred right in the heart of the densely populated district. New York has everything in the way of fire fight ing apparatus that inventive genius can devise nud money supply, yet the great city is often at the mercy of the fiery fiend. "Col. A. R Lawton, of Savannah," says the Augusta Chronicle, "is as we thought, very indignant at the New York Sun's venomous onslaught on General Lee’s memory.
