The Next Senate.

Although this is an off year in politics,
the elections this fall will b. Of the utmost
Importance to the democracy. 1t will b.
necessary not only TO make every effort TO
elect democrats in place OF republicans now
representing congressional districts, but in
many of the states it will be equally i'm
pOrtanJ to secure the election
of democratic legislators as well.
The terms of twenty-eight United States
senators, sixteen repu 5licans and twelve
democrats, expire on March 4, 1891. The
republican majority in the Senate is now
ten, AMI il is pretty certain that four more
votes will be added to the republican column
from Wyoming and Idaho. The prospects
for reducing the republican majority
appear most favorable, however.
In Iowa, Allison, rep, has been reelected.
In Maryland, Wilson, dem, has also been
chosen as his own successor, and in
Louisiana Judge White, dem, and in Ohio,
Calvin S. Brice, dem, have been elected TO
succeed James B. Eustis aud Henry b.
Payne, both democrats Kentucky, Geor-
gia, Florida, South Carolina, Arkansas,
Alabama, North Carolina, Indiana and Mis-
souli may be counted upon to elect demo
Gratis, making twelve democrats for those
whose terms expire.
The situation in some of the states now
represented by republicans is most encour-
aging for democratic success. Ip Wiscon-
sin the democrats hope TO elect legislature
that will send ex-Sscretary Villas to the
Senate in place Of Senator Spooner. There
ic n LIVE hot otata ba
school question, in which the democrats ap-
pear to be on the winning side.
In Illinois Gen. John VI. Palmer is a
formidable rival of Senator Farwell for
the Senate. He has the unanimous iDdorse-
ment of the Illinois democracy, and caudi-
dates for the legislature will make Palmer's
election an issue In the campaign.
In California the Hon. Stephen B. White,
of Los Angeles, is making strong fight
for Senator Stanfords place. He is backed
by the entire democracy, and also of those
republicans who want to shake off the Cen
trail Pacific railroad'yoke. The chances for
another democratic senator from California
are, therefore. good.
There is triangular fight among the re-
publicans OF New York state. Ex-Se lators
Platt and Miller are struggling for party
control, and the Independents, headed by
Fish and Gibbs, are opposing both of these
bosses. The outcome of this thres-cornered
dispute cannot but result beneficially TO the
democracy, which in the meantime is
strengthening It's forces to secure Senator
Evarts' seat
The republicans, by the admission of the
new states, are certain of the control of the
Senate for the next six years. To drive
them from power is hard task, but by
perfect organization and thorough lis
cipline the democracy will be able, IN
doubleday to accomplish it.

Closing of the Cotton Mills.


The New England cotton mill men have
determined to close their factories for two
weeks to relieve the overstocked market.
They have on hand now surplus equal to
two weeks production. Commenting on
this the Chicago Tribune, republican
paper, says there would be no necessity for
closing if the Latin-American mar
kets were opened to the manu-
facGurers in the manner suggested by
Mr.. Blaine. "The coarser grades of
cotton cloth" it says, "are one of the chief
articles imported by the people of Southern
and Central America. The American man
ufacturer gets his raw cotton so much
cheaper than the Lancashire mill men that
he can pay much higher wages than they
do and yet sell goods at lower price. 1t
is far better for the United States to manu-
facture its own cotton into cloth and ex-
change it direct for the coffee, sugar, hides
and other products of Latin American
countries than it is to send that cotton tc
England to a manufacturer there, who
afterwards ships it to South America as
cloth, the making of which has given en-
ployment to English labor and a profit tc
English capital"
If this course was followed it would GER
tainly be better for the workmsn. 1t would
relieve an overstocked market, and there
would not be such periods of enforced idle
ness. But the manufacturers are not look
ing after the workingmen's interests. Pro-
lection is for them; let the workingmer
take care of themselves.

THE TRADE REVIEW.

For years, on the opening of each sue
ceeding season, there has been presented
evidence of large increase in Savannah's
business Heretofore this increase has been
due to the natural growth of Savannah's
tributary territory, better understanding
of her commercial advantages, and the
gradual enlargement of her two great rail-
road systems. These things will continue to
contribute to her growth and prosperity,
and, in addition to them, there are others,
which have recently come into existence.
that will make the business year of 1s9O-91
more notable than any preceding one in her
history.
Since the last trade review of the MORN
ING NEWS there have been built three new
and important railroads TO Savannah, or to
connect with her railroad systems. They
are the Alabama Midland. the Savannah
and Western, and the Savannah, Americas
aud Montgomery. These railroads have
already brought hundreds of buyers to
Savannah and increased her trade greatly.
But the number of buyers and the amount
of trade which these new railroads will
contribute to her markets when the crops
now in the fields tributary to them are
harvested will be many times larger. The
people will have money then and they will
seek Savannah to supply their wants.
The advanced condition of the cotton crop
justifies the opinion that the business season
will open early and with great activity.
The people are already thinking. probably,
OF what they will buy with the fruits of
their labor. They are scanning the columns
of the MORNING News 10 sec who are the
live and progressive business men of Savan-
nah and what they are offering for sale.
There is large and lucrative trade to be
secured from the territory which the new
railroads have made tributary to Savan-
nab, as well as from the territory which has
heretofore been tributary to her. If our
merchants are wise they will not neglect the
only proper method of getting this trade.
That method is liberal advertising.
The MORNING NEWS proposes TO make a
special effort to reach every buyer in the
new field that has been opened by Savan-
nah's enterprise. The agents of the MORN
ING News are travelling through the coun-
try, and the people are taking the paper
Just as rapidly as the mail facilities which
are being established permit them to.
1t is proposed to send copy of the trade
review to each subscriber to the WEEKLY
NEWS, as well as to each subscriber to the
daily, thus giving advertisers the benefit of
both editions at little more than the usual
price of one
An advertisement in a newspaper is an in,
vitation to buyers to call. 1t virtually says;
when you are in town please call on US
We have all these things to show you"
The annual review will contain the usual
resume of the business of the city for tn,
last year. Ii will be sent TO thousands Of
people who are interested in Savannah,
welfare and prosperity.
The Trade Review edition will be issued
Sept 4. Space in its columns can be OBJ
tanned upon application TO the bushes,

TERRIBLE ATTACKS.

ALAMosA, COL, Jan. 49,
My wife was troubled with nervousness
about one year before she took Pastor Koe-
nig's Nerve Tonic, and at that time had very
severe attacks of spasms, commissions, and
pains in different parts of the body. When
IN this state her lower jaws would act vio-
lently and set sometimes, bite her tongue,
breathe heavily, then short then seemed to
stop entirely, get wild look in her eyes and
rolling around, then stop sometimes, it would
take men to hold her in bed, otherwise her
body would cramp and be so for hours. She
took but two bottles of the Nerve Tonic
which cured her entirely of all these torments
which myself and wife gladly testify, it truly
had the desired effect.
