anywhere near as large as they
were in 1896. His majority in
Massachusetts is 100,000 less than
it was four years ago and that in
New York shows a great falling
off. In all of the New England
States the majorities are very
much less than they were in the
first contest between Mr. McKin
ley and Mr. Bryan. Z~
What -is the meaning of these
reduced majorities? Do they
mean that the fear of free silver
is not so acute as it was four years
ago or that there is a growing sen
timent against trusts and the im--
mense expenditures of money and'
waste of life in the Philippines?
Ever since the close of the Span
ish-American war the people have
been besieging Congress to reduce
the war taxes. Congress has hes
itated to listen to the demand for
relief from excessive taxation .be
cause of the extraordinary expen
ses connected with the war in the
Philippines.
It.may .be that the administra
tion having been sustained the ef
forts to pacify the ^Filipinos will
be more successful. It has been
claimed that the Philippine policy
advocated by Mr. Bryan had the
effect of making the Filipinos re
sist our authority. It will now be
seen whether or not this claim
was well foundeb. If it was, the
insurrection ought to collapse at
once, and the situation ought to
improve so: greatly that it will be
possible to bring home very soon'
the greater part of the soldiers
now in garrisons on the islands.
The Republican party will have
to do two things if it wishes to es
cape very general criticism. It
will have to reduce the war taxes
and. find some way foT restraining
that class of trusts which are or
ganized for plunder.
The Republican party was sus
tained in the electian mainly be
cause of its position on the money
question. The silver question is
now out of the way forever. There
iB no doubt of that. Silver being
mo longer a source of danger the
people will give more attention to
taxes and trusts. Unless the Re
publicans reduce the taxes and
restrain trusts they will very soon
find themselves in the minority.

erhers was given by Prof. Francis
H. Smith, of the University of
Virginia, to the last graduating
class of Virginia Military Insti
tute. He traced to the early south
the things which are best in the
south of to day, - dwelt upon the
outlook for youth generaly, and
coming down to his own people
said: Illllfe
“I would impress on the young
men of the south that we live in
the choicest of all centimes, and
in the choicest of all the lands of
this century. America is the best
country in the world, and the
south is the best part of America
for a young man. Our favored
land has no titled aristocracy to
pre empt[the best places, no groo
ves of custom to direct and con
fine its energies. In our own hap
py section the same industry and
talent are more quickly and more
generously rewarded than in the
more crowded and ‘hustling’ com
munities of the north and west-
I have often thought that half
the pushand efforts necessarily put
forth by the young Southerner
who settles in the west, with slow
returns often for his toil, would
have made him a rich man in his
native state. Young man, go not
north, (that may be excusable in
a young married couple on their
bridal tour:) go not west—that
advice was meant for New Eng
land’ hoys. Stay where you are,
and begin life with the capital pi
good will left you by your parents
and the heritage of their honored
names.”

People who were preoccupied in
watching the recent political con
test did not know that a cataclysm
had been predicted for election
week, hence they were not worried
by the prediction. But the Sec
ond Adventists of Binghamton,

ed to he “whirled Into-; glory”
while.the rest af creation was be
ing crushed by the collapse of the
earth. Many of the Adventists
gave-away nil of their property as
a part of the preparation for their
celestial journey, and now that
that they: have not been “whirl
ed,” they are reduced to compar
ative poverty. *

A plan is in formation for the
organization of a national union
of all the mortuary trades, such
as those of grave-diggers, coffin-
makers, embalmers, shroud-mak
ers, ete. This is not to be a
‘‘trust, ” of course, but a “trades
union.” 1 However; since prices
are to be controlled by the combi
nation, those who have to pay the
funeral bills will not be able to
distinguish whether they have
been “skined” by a trust or a
trades union.

Baise Horses and Moles.
Atlanta Constitution.
How many thousands of dollars
Georgia would save annually if
she paid more attention to stock
raising can be readily judged- by
taking a look at Albany’s balance
sheet in connection with her oper
ations as a market for horses and
mules raised in other states.
Stock men regard this one of
the best of the smaller markets of
the state, and a large territory
supplied from the local yards and
stables. Horses and mules are
brought, all during the fall and
winter months, from Texas, Indi
an Territory* Tennessee, Kentucky
and several of the western states
. Last season—an average one—
about 1,300 mules were brought to
Albany and sold at prices ranging
from $90 to $150. . An average
price was probably .$115. Thir
teen hundred mules at $115 each
come to $149,500. And 300 horses
of all kinds, at ah average price of
$100 add another $30,000—a total
of $179,5001 This is not simply
the outlay of one year, but of ev
ery year. It has been going on
for so long a time that our people
seem to take it as a matter of
course, and apparently forget all
about the splendid natural advan
tages this section of Georgia pos
sesses as a stock raising region.
The usual hundreds of mules
and horses that have been brought
from other.states are being sold in
Albany this season at fancy prices.
They are generally inferior to
stock such as can be "raised on
southwest Georgia farms, but the
demand seems, nevertheless, to he
practically unlimited.
If the people living in. the terri
tory immediately tributary-to Al
bany spen something like $200,000
annually for horses-And mules
raised in other states, how much
does Georgia spend? And what
portion of this tremendous total
might she save if her farmers—es
-pecially those in the southern por
tion of the state, where natural
conditions are all that could be
desired—would pay to stock rais
ing the attention it deserves? The
question is often asked and often
answered, but-path blazers seem
to be sadly wanting.
