BARBOUR AGAINST CLEVELAND
He Thinks q Man Ought To 30 Eomi-
mated Who Can Surely Win.

Washington Correspondence OF the Alexandria Gazette.
Senator Barbour being asked by the
Gazctte's correspondent, this morning,
what he thought of the present talk about
the next presidency, said he thought it
was entirely too premature to be talking in
1890 about an election that would not &C.
cur until near the close Of 1892, as all the
present conditions might lie changed by
the latter time. "But," said he, 81 have
no hesitation in saying that availability
should he the chief qualification of the
next democratic presidential nominee.
Sentiment is very we'll in it's place, but it
is ont of place in an uncertain political
fight. Ny personal relations he said,
with Mr. Cleveland are more friendly
than with any Of the other gentlemen |
have heard spoken of as possible candi-
dates. and do not even know Governor
| Hill, but wise army would not select as
its commander a man who acknowledges
that he knows nothing of warfare, and for
Il like reason think it would be unwisc
for political party to enter an uncertain
campaign under leader who frOwns upon
practical politics and confesses that he
knows nothing about the management and
|
Mr. Cleveland would not receive the sup
port of Wall street and that of the class of
men known as mugwumps, Senator Bar
bour said he thought he would, but that
such support, if he be the nominee. would
do him more harm than good, inasmuch
as IL would tend to drive more effective
strength away from him. The mugwumps,
he said, tried to beat the democrats in
New York city week before last, but made
signal failure, and it was only by the
success of Tammanv that the Legislature
OF New York was made democratic and Il
democratic senator secured i'll that State.
Mr. Barbour also said that Mr.. Clcycland's
pronounced opposition to the silver men
and to the whole policy of the Farmers
Alliance would deprive the democratic
party of the assistance of both those pow
crful organizations, il ne were ut its head.
Mr.. Barbour said that tariff reform was
now popular, and he was glad it had be-
come so, but that Mr.. Cleveland was not

war, and more recently Carlisle and Nor
rison. are certainly more entitled to its
paternity than he. Then, too, he said,
Mr. Cleveland is not Il more pronounced
tariff rctormcr now than he was in 1855,
and then. though Hill carried New York,
| Cleveland lost il and was defeated. "How
ever" the senator continued, "thonGh !
shall not go to the next national c0nvcn-
ton. ! and all other good democrats will
chccrfully work for It's nominee, whoever
that may be: but, as said before, it is
entirely too soon to he raising questions
about the particular individual man to be
nominated, and who cannot take possession
of the White House until the 4tl of March,

SIR. +. kurtz johnson, president of the
Citizens National Bank, has received II
letter from the Goldsboro Lumber Com
panv. a business correspondent at Colds
horo, n. G. The letter was to the effect
that while the money centers of the coun-
try might he in Il panicky state the South
generally is in 4 far more prosperous con-
say:
"Financially matters in this section are
easy. The largest crops are being har-
vested ever known Prices of cotton until
the last few days have ranged high. and
farmers have been free sellers. The mcr-
chants who have done an advancing bust
ness and carried over balances year by
wear for the farmers who could not pay
out because of short crops say that this
season the farmers have paid up i'll full
current running accounts for the present
wear, and 4 large percentage have paid up
also balances with accumulated interest,
and have now enough left of this years
crop to carry them through next year on Il
cash basis. What is true of this section is
largely true of other sections of this and
other States 1t may he matter of inter-
est to know that at least one section of the
countryside South Atlantic States-is in
IL good financial condition, and will not be
on the money ccnters for means to pay
operating expenses for the next year, as
has been the case for several wears past. y

One Trial was Enough.
(Gloim-lhmocrat.)

"Whcm the Kansas Pacific was first
opened" said B. ". Ncddcr, locomotive
engineer, "thc Indians were very hostile.
and there was constant fear that they
would wreck the trains. That they did
not is due to their ignorance of the iron
horse and Of the best methods OF destroy

"Onc OF my iircmcn had an experience
with the Chcvenncs that he will never
forget He WAS on the road near Fort
Wallace, when he saw that the Indians
had cut the telegraph wire, and knew that
he might look out for squalls. They were
never satisfied with simply cutting the
wire, but chopped it into inch pieces with
their tomahawks to citectually stop the
mysterious messages. AS the train came
near large patch of suntlowers which
grew on both sides Of the track over 100
Indians rose up stretched II strong rope
across the track, braccd themselves, and

had taken rawhidc strips, braided them
together. and, with Il force of fifty at each
end OF the rope, thought that they would
bc able to stop the train. The instant the
locomotive struck the rope the air WAS
full of Indians. They were thrown in all
directions. Some were jerked clear across
the train. and more than Il dozen were
killed or seriously injured. This was the

Good stories about Chaunccy Dcpew arc
common enough, but a recent incident is
worth more publicity than has heretofore
been given to it.
1t seems that Mr.. Dcpcw and several OF
his brother capitalists were speeding along
in palace car at sixty miles an hour when
the train struck and killed Il poor printer
who was walking on the track. The corpse
was taken on board, and the mllonarcs
ceased their mcrrimcnt in tie presence of
death. All knclt down, and Mr.. Dcpew
offered a fcrvcnt PRAYER for the dead man :
soul and for his family. Then, rising to
his feet he put $500 into his hat and col
cctcd from each of the others Il handsome
amount for the wife and children of the
lucklcss printer.
There is something practical in such
Christianity. In too many cases people
think that they have done enough when
they pray for the unfortunate, but MIR.
Dcpcw is under the impression that when
PRAYER is backed by Il little active char
ity the result is more satisfactory. His
view of the matter is worthy of being con-
sidcrcd by the average Christian CAPT

Death of a ramou. Rattle.nake.
tAtlanta Constitu,ion.)

The largest rattIesnake ever seen in
Georgia was killed Saturday in Lee county
upon the plantation of Secretary of State
Gen. Phil. Cook. The snake has terrorized
the neighborhood for years. and its death
Saturday was the occasion of a jubilee
celebration among the darkics in that Vi
cinity. Even the white people joined in
the general feeling of relief that so danger
GUS and dreaded ncighbor was rid of at
last The snake, hy actual measurement,
was a little over eleven feet long. 1t had
nineteen rattlcs and button.
The snake has been hunted for years,
and traps innumcrablc have been devised
for his capture. His den is an impenetra-
BILE section of the KinchaioOnec Swamp.
Near this is cypress pond, and between
the swamp and the pond is the road. Hun
drcds of times his track has been seen
across this road. People who have not
seen it were loath to believe the stories
told about it, but the truth finally became
established, and the Lee county rattle
snake became famous from the Atlantic
to the Pacific. The snake has swallowed
Young pigs, chickens. rabbits and other
small animals, and was dreaded by the
negroes like ghost. 1t was difficult to
induce them to travel the road at night.
Last Saturday the snake was found
across the path ncarthc pond by Mr.. Phil.
Cook. Without disturbing it Mr.. Phil.
Cook went off for help. returning with
three or four colorcd men armed with hoes
and clubs. Stealing up near The snake,
the colored men fell upon it. and with the
hoes and clubs finally killed it. Ii was
cut open, and in its belly was found a full
grown buck rabbit This probably ac
counts for the dormant and comparatively
helpless condition of the snake and the
case with which he was dispatched.
The snake was then thrown across the
shoulders of one OF the colorcd men and
carried to the house. Though the colorcd
man was Il stalwart. muscular man, he
staggered under the load.
