An Old Friend Badly Hurt.

Clear Lake, Wis.,, Sept. 11.-In
addition to the three persons kill
ed during the cyclone here yester-
day, the clerk in Briggs store was
seriously injured, and it is thought
will die. Some of the principles
losers are, John Il. Glover, saw
mill machinery and lumber, $780,
900; A. A. Ingalls,, general stores,
$4,000; Smith aud Lewis, stores,
$4,000. The total loss in Clear
Lake and vicinity will reach at
least s25O,0O0. Bill Nye, of the
Laramie Boomerang notoriety, was
driving with his brother about
three miles east of Clear Lake
when the tornado struck them.
He was lifted clear ont of tho wag.
on by the wind and dashed to the
side of the road. His right leg
was broken In two places below
the knee. His brother was only
slightly injured and walked back
to Clear Lake, and procured help,
but 1t was six hours before the in.
jured man could be brought to
town, owing to the road being
blocked with fallen trees.

The Effect OF Georgia Railroad
Laws.
Manufacturers Record. |

uuuuAdttultIb ICtDIu.l
A dispatch from New York
says: "The Brunswick and West
ern road was purchased at FORE
closure sale by strong parties here
and in Frankfort.on-the Main, with
the intention and agreement of
extending it Westward; but upon
careful investigation into the rail-
road laws of Georgia and its eff
feet upon railroad property they
abandoned the scheme, and have
been endeavoring for many months
to make some other disposal of
the property or arrange for its be-
ing operated In connection with
other roads,"
This is only another instance of
the injury that the railroad laws
of several Southern States are do
ing. How can capitalists be ex-
pected to invest millions of dol.
lars in property over which they
can have little or no control The
South is too poor to be driving
away capital, and, instead of do
ing that, she ought to be offering
all possible inducements to mon.
eyed men who are inclined to aid
in developing her resources.

The Remedy.
Commercial Herald I


There is still a better remedy to
restore the price of cotton seed.
1t does not, however, lie in abus-
ing the seed crushers. They are
not blamable for getting seed for
the lowest possible price. 1t takes
two TO make a bargain, and the
seed crushers cannot purchase
cotton seed at eight dollars per
ton if the owners of the seed re-
fuse to sell at that price. And
they should, one and all, refuse to
sell for that price, for the seed is
worth more as manure. This is
one excellent reason, but there is
still another and perhaps a better
one. II the seed erushers can get
seed at any price they resolve to
get it at, why not resolve to have
it at five dollars a ton, or even
less 7 If the producers of the seed
are not to be q party to the bargain,
why have any regard whatever for
them or for the law of supply and
demand
We contend that the seed pro-
ducers should refuse to sell at a
price resolved on in this manner,
even if that price is all the seed is
worth. They should resist this
method, because it is a violation
of the laws of trade, and an at
tempt to get their property with
out consulting them as to its val
ne. 1t is saying to them, "you
may give us your seed, or take
less than eight dollars a ton, but
you are wasting time to ask what
you think the seed Is worth.n II
is a way of combining to force all
out of the planter he will stand.
Ii the planter could get pork, i'm
plements, land, labor, and all they
need at any price they resolved to
pay, they could afford to sell their
seed at a fixed rate by others, but
as it is, they should firmly in.
sist upon their right to be a
party to the bargain. The way
to do that effectively, is to
adopt precisely the same tactics
the seed crushers nave adopted.
Shey should combine. Every
neighborhood, county, parish and
State, where the seed crushers
have fixed an arbitrary price,
should promptly and firmly CON-
bine and contend for justice. The
seed crusheIs cannot complain il
the planters attempt to take care
of their own property, or mako an
effort to secure its value, which is
the same thing.

Chicago, Sept. 1S.-Twenty.6ve
hundred people listened to the
address at the Music Hall tonight
By st. John, the Prohibition candi-
date for the Presidency. The
speaker said there were none of
the old issues before the people
now. Neither the Republican nor
the Democratic party is what 1t
was once. "Gen. Logan helped to
pass laws,n said Mr.. st. John, "by
which | was to be sent to the pen
itentiary for giving food to col
ored boy. welcomed Gen. Logan
to the Republican party years ago
and | predict that 1t will not be
ten years from now before | well
come him into the Prohibition
ranks"
The high license system was de-
nounced by st. John as the most
infamous ever introduced. The
speaker also alluded bitterly tO
what he called the cowardice of
Blaine in not voting on the prohi-
bition question in Maine and de-
clared: ave shall convince Mr..
Blaine in November that prohibi-
tion is national issue.V

$500 even with Mr.. Parker that
Cleveland would carry New York
by $4,000 majority. Mr.. Robert

was present offered to duplicate
the wager, but the offer was dc.
clined by Mr.. Wyse.

the discussion drifted into politics.
Charles Davis, the book maker Of
fered to bet $500 even that Mr..
Blaine would carry tho State of
New York. Mr.. Wyse took the
bet, and $1,000 was promptly
placed with Capt. W. NJ. Connor,
proprietor of the st. James, as
stakeholder. Mr.. Wyse offered to
repeat the wager with any of the
other of the bookmakers, but the
offer was not accepted.
A few days ago II was rumored
that AL. Smith representing James
e. Kelly, the book maker, was au-
thorized to bet any part of $780,.

NOR reached Mr.. Sol. Sayles, and
he sent two representatives with
$25,000 each to interview Mr..
Smith at the Gilsey House, Mr..
Smith said that he represented
Mr.. Kelly in the matter, and said
that personally he was backing
Cleveland, and believed he would
be elected. Mr.. Sayles' represen-
tatives were referred to Mr.. Kelly.
who said he had changed his mind,
and did not then propose to make

Chances Of the Democrats In Penn
Sylvanian.

Especial to The Times. Democrat.
Washington, Sept. 20.--There
was some surprise whom Mr.. Ran
dali declared that Mr.. Cleveland
had a fine fighting chancein Penn
sylvania. The Republicans laugh
ed at the claim as huge bluff.
To day Col. Alf Fletcher, of Phila-
delphia, a close friend of Mr.. Ran.
dali, was in town and said concern
ing the matter:
Randall knows what he is talk
ing about. After tho October
elections there will be fusion of
all the elements opposed to Blaine,
in Pennsylvania. The Democrats,
Greenbackers and laboring men
will unite, and as the combination
will have a majority we are certain
to carry the State"
II was also learned from another
source that certain electors on the
Democratic ticket are to retire,
and the vacancies thus made will
be supplied by the Greenback and
Labor elements. The electors who
are to step down have been select
ed and have expressed o willing
moss to yield their places to the
fusionists.
1t is estimated that st. John will
poll at least 10000 votes in Ohio
in November, all of which will be
drawn from the Republican party.
"If,n said a leading Democrat to
day, 1--WE can keep the Republican
majority next month down to 10,
600 or 10000, we will carry the
State in November, when the Pro
hibitionists vote their own ticket
The bulk of that vote will be
squarely against us in the October
electi0n.n

The Bad Eject Of The Fisher Letters.
Especial to the Picayune.l

Especial to the Picayune.I
Washington, Sept. 1.-THE pub
lication of the additional letters
showing the relations between Mr..
Blaine and Messrs. Caldwell and
Fisher, in relation to the Northern
Pacific Railroad and the Little
Rock and Fort Smith matters is
evidently having a very damaging
effect upon Blaine's prospects.
Mr.. Blaine at first affected TO treat
the matter lightly, but it is now
said at the Republican headquar-
ters in New York city that semi
nent legal talentn has been employ
ed to present the matter in a more
favorable light to the public than
the letters themselves suggest. 1t
is doubtful whether lawyers can
do him any good at this stage, and
their employment shows the stress
of the situation is severely felt.
The New York Times of to-day
has q crushing editorial on the af.
fair, and on Mr.. Warren Fishers
letter of Oct. "a, 1871, in which it
shows that for the $4,000 or s25,.
900 loaned by Blaine to Josiah
Caldwell, he received and accepted
$4,000 from Caldwell, $4,000 in
bonds as collateral which it is
charged and not denied by him
that he sold for $4,000, and $685.
900 in first mortgage bonds at par,
or total of S61, 600.
The Times sums up by saying:
at will be clear to everybody why
he suppressed the letter of Oct.
"a. 1871. Itexposed a transaction
on his part which we are unable to
distinguish from common swind-
ling.n
The New York Herald is, if pos.
sible, more severe. 1t says that
while perverting 10 the use of
speculative schemes an official au.
thority bestowed in the interests
Of the people, he even descended
to the infinite meanness of cheat
ing right and left his confederate
cheats, and to playing pitifully
sharp games upon those friends
in Maine who, having confidence
in him, put their moneys through
him into what he praised as a good
investment The Herald also
gives an insight into Mr.. Elkins's
reasons for desiring Mr.. Blaine's
election, which bear a marked re.
semblance to the Little Rock and
Fort Smith business.
1t is now evident that the Re-
publicans are going 30 make a dcs.
perate effort to save Ohio in the
October election. They cannot
afford to lose it, as this would lead
to stampede. The State is to be
flooded with speakers and money
from now till the day Of election.
The prediction | made early in
the canvass that Blaine would 60

be verified. The screws are being
put on here in the departments to
raise money. Many of the clerks

safe to pay up the assessments.

If they declined it would be easy

Against the Georgia Commission.
Railway Age.I


The railway commissioners of
Georgia in their recent report re.
commend that special facilities be
provided by legislation for appeals
from their rulings. The fact that
their decisions have been final, OK.
cept as they could be reviewed in
the courts by the slow and cum.
brous methods of ordinary prac.
tice, has been the subject of much
unfavorable comment by many Of
the ablest journals in that State,
and it is probable that the commits
sioners fear that the existence of
the commission is in danger unless
that feature is modified. They are
willing to sacrifice a little of their
almost absolute power In order to
preserve the remainder. II Is not
likely, however, that such a con.
cession will reassure those whose
capital is imperatively needed to
build railways in Georgia, but who
will not risk such investments I'M.
der a rate-fxing commission. 1t
seems very evident that the State
is in no moro need of such a com.
mission than she is of an imperial
guard. The people were not will.
ling to trust to the laws of compe-
tition, but have undertaken to &C.
complish by force that which
should and always will result from
natural business laws at the prop
er time. They have their railroad
commission, but are getting very
little new railway mileage in spite
of barbecucs and efforts Of vari.
ous kinds to raise money to build
new lines. 1t is hardly probable
that they can attract capitalists
simply by Offering them special fa-
cilities for going to law to defend
their investments.
