A Kentucky Senator Talks.

Hon. Joseph c. 8. Blackburn. Kentucky's
senior Senator, has thus given his sentiments:
However popular Mr.. Cleveland may have
been with Democrats generally, think him no
longer available as a candidate by reason of
his letter on the silver question. Personally,
have not the slightest objection to him, but
believe any man opposing free silver coinage
would be defeated for President in '92"

the Democratic delegates will vote for either
Of the two latter, or whether either or both
will favor some dark horse 1t is now impos-
sible to tell. Personally have no opinion OF
my own to express as to who will be nominated

Senator George Gray Speaks.

Hon. George Gray. the senior United States
Senator from Delaware, is now in his seventh
year in the Upper National House, he having
been elected to fill the unexpired term OF SEN
ator Bayard when that gentleman was called to
Cleveland's Cabinet in 1886, and having been
reelected in 1887. As he is one of the political
masters of the Democratic party in his State,
his views, as expressed in the appended COM
mumicatlon, may be regarded as Oracular.
"1n reply to yours would say that at the
present time the overwhelming choice OF the
Democrats of the State represent for Presi-
land. As to who is the most popular man
among the Delaware Republicans. would say
that believe that his name is James u.
Blaine"

Hon. Anthony Higgins, is the junior United

voice to the Presidential desires of his State.
"WIth regard to the choice OF the Democrats of

party in the approaching Presidential contest of
1892, would say that the Delaware faction of
the Democratic party controlled by ex-Secre-

dams used to send about 10 900 900 dozen
eggs to New York every year until we got
a tariff OF five cents a dozen clapped on to
the market price of their eggs. Now they
send but very few and we have most of the

population of these states, which in
clude fifteen-sixteenth of the colored
population of the country, was, in 1890,
23, S75 ,259. Of this number 16, 1868. 205
persons we're white, 6,996, 166 were col
ored, and 10,S9S were Chinese and In
dams. The bulletin states that since
1880 the colored race has decreased
steadily in numbers as compared with
the white race, and that the last decade
has been no exception to the rule. In
1880 the ratio between the negroes and
the whites was about six to ten, while
in 1890 it was about four to ten. In
the last decade there has been per-
ceptible movement of the negroes
toward the states near the gulf, par
ticularly into Mississippi and Arkansas,
in which they have increased in num-
Der proportionately more rapidly than
have the whites. These are significant
facts, but it is not safe to draw too
hasty conclusions from them. That
the negroes have not held their own
against the whites is not conclusive
evidence that they will not when they
become more independent, industrially
and politically, than they are now. AS
civilization grows among them, it is
fair to infer that greater prudence in
regard to disease will characterize
them. From the statements about
Mississippi and Arkansas it may be
predicted that they will in time become
essentially negro states. Such result
is by no means impossible, but who
can be certain that during the next
decade tide of white immigration or
one of negro emigration may not be
observed? Human nature is of eek
traordinary pliability," and predictions
about it are apt to prove erroneous.

The governor of Texas-his name
is HOgg-will not sanction the accept
ance of the bounty on sugar produced
on the states convict farm. A bill to
that effect was promptly vetoed by
him, and in his message on the subject
he said that the acceptance of the
bounty would bring with it federal
supervision, and that evil end the
last vestige of state sovereignty" How
sad! And how they cling to the fiction
of state sovereignty in the South, while
everywhere else the fact that this is
one united state is becoming 80 well
understood that the expression state
sovereignty" is an anachronism. A
few decades more, and even the South
will realize that times have changed.
Meanwhile no one supposes that the
sugar bounty will go begging in that
part of the country. The private
sugar-raisers will give sentiment a cold
shoulder and pocket the bounty.

GOVERNOR NICHOLS of Louisiana
has answered Secretary Blaine's dis
patch regarding the massacre of the
Italian prisoners at New Orleans.
The letter is carefully phrased with
view, probably, to giving no offence to
the people of New Orleans, and it deals
almost entirely in plain statements of
facts. One of the most significant
sentences is that in which it is declared
that the action of the mob was directed
against particular individuals, and that
the nationality of those individuals did
not enter as factor in the disturb
ance." 1t is also stated that the grand
jury is now investigating the affair.
Secretary Blaine sent copy of the let
ter at once to the Italian minister, and
that will probably end the matter, as
far as international action goes.

A ST. LOUIS company is putting
up new works for the special purpose
of making tin plate, and when they
are completed it is expected that be-
tween 400 and 500 boxes will be turned
out per day. The same company is
even now making plate in small way,
but it's facilities will be limited until
the new works are completed. What
do free traders say to this ? Protection
once more demonstrates that it can and
does foster home industries. Apropos
of tin plate, Major McKinley's remark,
in his Boston speech on last week
Wednesday, is worth remembering:
"You will get your tin, inside of two
years, made from American material
by American labor, cheaper than you
ever got it when it came from Wales
and the tin pail will have to be made a
little larger to hold the increased guam
titles that can be bought for the same
money under the tariff law!"

Owen q Moore the druggists give
ten reasons why hamberlain's Cough
Remedy is the best:
|. 1t will cure severe cold in less
time than any other treatment.
,. 1t does not suppress cough OF
cold; but loOsens and relieves it.
3. 1t relieves the lungs, which is OF
great Importance in treating a cold.
4. 1t is the only remedy that will
cause the expulsion Of mucus from the
air cells of the lungs.
5. 1t renders the mucus less tena-
cious and easier to eXpectorate.
6. If freely used as soon as the first
symptoms appear, it will cure severe
cold in a single day.
7. 1t will prevent Group and avert
all danger and anxiety arising from
that dreaded disease.
8. 1t has cured thousands of cases OF
zroup, and careful inquiry fails to dis
cover a single case in which it has ever
failed,
8. 1t does not contain opium, chic
reform, nor any other injurious sub
stance. There is not the least danger
in giving it to the children.

A FLouRIsH1Na CITY
And the Tobacco Leaf Chronicle Up to
the Standard.

A few days ago letter was pub
lished in this paper which was writ
ten to Captain Smith by cigar
manufacturing firm in Michigan
wanting to locate their factory here.
A copy of the paper and one of the
Board of Trade pamphlets were
mailed to the firm by Capt. Smith
and this morning he received reply.
Speaking Of the city the letter says !:
Judging from the pamphlet to
hand GAINESVILLE is furnishing city,
and l am almost persuaded to cast
my lot there without further inves-
LEGATIONS. / expect, however, to
visit the South in company with
other parties soon, and your city will
be our objective point"
Here is what the letter has to say
about the LEAF CHRONICLE, which
journal is appreciated wherever it
goes:
81 am also indebted to you for a
copy of the TOBACCO LEAF-CHRONI
Gle. The paper exhibits a spirit of
commendable enterprise, and its edi-
t0rial remarks and general appear
ance indicate that 1t is fully up to the
standard"
The TOBACCO LEAF CHRONICLE is
always tor a measure that will in
anyway benefit the city and sur.
rounding country, and will fight it
out on that line. That the people
appreciate its efforts is evidenced by
its subscription list.
