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. —Savnnah News. 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.” Time’s Mutations. 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, N- Y., knew of it and were prepar 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. * Says the Wilton Tribune: Mr, G. W. Breedlove, Sr., who lives near Mt. Vernon, has - obtained from a ten-acre field this year 226. bushels of wheat, 600- bundles of fodder, 50 bushelsof corn, I21oa.ds of peavine hay, 2,500 pounds of peas in the hull, 12 bushels of pp- ‘' toes add 26 bushels of turnip - ' aorgia soil < yields abundanl when rightly cultivated; ” ty Great Luck Of An Editor. “For two- years all efforts to cure Eczema in the palms of my hinds failed, ’’ writes Editor H.NS Lester; of Syracuse, Kan., “then I was wholy nured by Bucklen’s Arnica Salve.” It’s the world’s' best salve for Eruptions,.

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.

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. W. A. DAVIS. BEN T. KAY. EDWIN S. DAVIS. w. A.
