a Panic Feared.

The following lie extracted from an ar
ticle in the New York Sun:
The fact is that America to-day is pro.
dueing millions more of bushels of grain
than are necessary for home consumption,
and adding thereto the expectations as
shown by official tables, it will be seen
this there still remains in the farmers
cribs, or sealed by Spectators in ware
houses and elevators, a surplus or go, 600,
600 bushels of wheat alone, TO say moth
Ing of the other cereals which enter into
daily consumption. Tho same is true of
pork. Ia every hog raising centre the
reports show that the summer pack in z
kas been greatly in excess of any pre-
vioGs year. In Chicago ! 1872, coo hogs
have been packed to date, against 1927,
coo for the same period in 1881 and D.
l52, 600 in 1880. Despite this great ex-
cess in the production of pork, prices are
higher now than ever before. Where the
vas. stock goes is mystery. The export
trade in provisions and grain has fallen
off; the demand for home consumption is
no more, and yet, with a vast suplus in
yield and with actually no market for the
etock. prices are maintained at a high
figure solely in the interest of specula-
tors
Should the threatened collapse come,
and score of heavy wheat and provision
spectators GO TO the wall, while their z
gregate losses might amount to millions,
the great body of consumers would be
benefited in o greater volume of products
thrown on the market at lower prices.
In this respect, at least, good would come
out Of a great calamity.

From. CLINTON peulocrat-I
Hon. Mat Mckinney, editor of the Ca
dix Telephone, took occasion some time
ago 70 sneak of Capt. stones candidacy
for Congress and said, in substance, that
while Stone is clever gentleman, he
likes The nece ssary ability 10 make an
efficient Congressman. Somebody took
occasion on the strength of this to give
Mckinney scathing excoriatiOn, say ing
all sorts of ugly things about him. In
reply TO this Mckinney says that he had
said that he would oppose Stone, for the
reason mentioned, but that he had not
said that he would support Turner, but
does say so now without equivocation-
This late announcement does not sur
prise us much. In fnct, we have been
/ looking for il 20 come rs soon as occasion
| offered He has had leaning towards
Turner for some time aud very little
pus b MAS necessary TO land him square on
that side If he were not ready for the
denouement the personal assault Of the
irresponsible nincompoop," rs he called
his assailant, would not have been sum
| cieRt TO determine matter of conviction.
We regret to see such ability for good as
is possessed by Maj. Mckinney prostitu
ted to the base purposes he seems to have
devoted his, and trust that when he shall
have had time to cool off from b Is pet, he
will reconsider the matter, and lend his
ability and influence to restore harmony
in the Democratic party OF the district
aud rehuke ths chief cause OF discord in
the party and demon aliIation in the com
munity-
From Msyfeid Democratic
; 1t seems from the meeting OF the Dis
trict Committee and the calling Of . Con
gressional Conventions, that on organiz,
ed sffcrt is being made to wrest Oscar
hard-earned seat from him. There ar,
many who think this an impossibility
aud consider the undertaking = foolhar
dy one, while there are many well-posted
intelligent persons who think that by
strong, steady pull OF the REGULARS" tn,
feat could be accomplished. We will no
venture an opinion on the subject, but W
will say, without fear OF successful con
trRdiction. that Hon A. X Boone, of thi
city, would come nearer retiring the Col
onei to the shades of private life thar
any other person in the district; in fact
he's about the only one who would stan
any showing at all. Owing to the pecu
liar state Of affairs exis ting jast now, b
and the Colonel could get up the most in
teresting canvass known for years.
