As Others See Us.

A correspondent of the Selma
Evening Mail, writing over initials E.
j. H., speaks as follows of Aberdeen:
"The merchants are progressive
and sell on small profits in order to
keep things moving. There are no
idle clerks here filing in their time
whiting dry goods boxes and CON
templating the seasons cotton re-
ceipts. There is life and activity on
the streets at all times, and on Satur-
urday the business sraeets are almost
impossible. This was surprise to
me. In addition to the two roads
which run into Aberdeen, the Bigbee
river, during the winter, becomes
navigable to this point, and Nor
chants get all the benefit OF cheap
transportation facilities. An iron
bridge spans the river, and is free to
both foot passengers and vehicles,
Every inducement is offered people
to trade here, and no embargo is
laid upon the farmer when he comes
to town. No license to sell his hand
full of truck or ferryage when he
crosses the river, and as the mer-
chant will sell on small profits the
town offers the farmers inducements
to come and spend their money here.
There are many beautiful residences
here, and many in course ofconstruc-
ton. The streets are laid straight
and wide, with beautiful shade trees
which constantly reminds one Of
Selma's pretty streets ;most of the fine
dwellings are built in the center of
large plats of ground and are sur
rounded by groves, land the landscapes
are arranged in order to delight and
please the eye. The town is built
upon succession of hills, and the
situation of many Of the dwellings
are picturesque. We have fine min
eral artesian wells, and the town is
illuminated by electric light. The
sound Of the hammer greets one on
every side, and at the present time
the town bids fair to be the metropo-
lis of Northern Mississippi"

Special TO The Times Democrat.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 9,-The major
ity for Blaine in Maine is about 49,
900 and the majority for Prohibition
about $4,000. Robes plurality is
about $4,000 Hayes carried Maine,
with the splendid Tilden organiza>
ton against him, by 1880. These
figures tell the story. 1t does not
matter a vote in Ohio or West Vir
ginia whether Blaine carried his own
State by 5000 or by $4,000 majority
The plan of the Associated Press in
comparing the returns last night
with the vote for Plaisted, Fusion
candidate four years ago, confused
the reader and gave out the impress.
sion that the Republicans had made
enormous gains. The Democratic
voters in the doubtful States of the
Union can rest assured that the
Democratic managers wisely wasted
no money on Maine, as they did four
years ago. They tried then to carry
the State, and they succeeded. It
cost them $4,000 What good did
it do? Not bit, for Garfield car
ried it by $500, Had that $4,000
been put in Indiana at the time it
was placed in Maine, Indiana would
have been carried in October and
Hancock would have been elected.
The Democratic managers have
pro6ted by their experience. Indeed,
experience is the best school of pol,
itics.
Blaine deceived Neal Dow and the
prohibition leaders in Maine. He
told them that he was prohibition
list, and they trusted him. They did
not place prohibition ticket in the
field. When election day came Blaine
hung around his house until $3.50 D.
m., half an hour before the polls
closed, and then sneaked up and
voted the Republican ticket, but re-
fused to vote for or against prohibi-
ton. He had first found out that
the prohibition ladies' had left his
poll, or rather he had some of his
pets to take them off so he could
vote his sentiment What are his
sentiments? He evidently had none,
for the only question in Maine that
the people cared snap for was pro,
hibition or anti-prohibtion. His
lodging the prohibition question will
not help him to gain the object of
his ambition. The prohibitionists
are in dead earnest about what they
are seeking, and the skulk of Blaine
will not help him in their eyes. 1t
will cost Blaine more votes than his
Maine majority out of the prohibi,
ton ranks alone, to say nothing of
the votes he will lose among the
Germans.

by the election of the able gentle-

EDITORIAL MATTER

From lrl- weekly issues OF Monday anu FRIDAY
WITH regard to the canvass in
Ohio, it may be said that if the State
goes Democratic in October the fight
is over so far as Mr.. Blaine is con.
cerned,a and he can hardly hope to carry
more than five States at the elelec-
in November. This being the ac-
knowledged position of affairs, and
Ohlohaving been for many years a re-
liable Republican Staten Presidential
years, it is natural to suppose that all
of the means, resources and energy
of the Republican party will be con-
centra ted there for the October fight.
With us the loss of Ohio in Octo-
ber will amount to little for it has
never been ours when a national
contest was impending; but to the
enemy its loss will be ruin, thorough
and complete, and they will be fortu-
nate if they carry Maine, Vermont,
Pennsylvania, Nebraska and Mime
sofa in November,

The Grain Crops Of Europe.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 10-United
States Consul Piexotto, at Lyons,
has forwarded a report to the De-
partment of State relative to the
crops this year in France. He says:
The wheat crop will amount to about
316, 100000 bushels. which will surI
pass the harvest of 1883 by over 3d.
100000 bushels, The quality is ex-
cellent. The rye crop will equal
II, 100000 bushels and the quality
is very superior. Indian corn
amounts 100000 bushels and the
potato crop to 462,000000 bushels
Reports from England and Conti-
mental countries also state that there
ere fine wheat crops. The English
crop, in particular, has rarely been
SO fine. These reports have affected
and still more seriously affect the
price of wheat, which is falling daily,
The cry for protection by increas-
ed duties on foreign wheat goes up
loudly from all parts of France.

Jay Gould is given the credit of
having by his longheaded advice and
management saved the country from
a panic that would have exceeded in
disasters that of 1878. No one but
a great "monopolist'' possessed of
boundless wealth and resources could
have thwarted the impending storm,
if it is thwarted.
