The Coming of PETER and Simpson.

Savannah (Ga) News: Our dis
patches yesterday contained the infor-
nation that Senator PETER, Represeu-
tative Jerry Simpson and Mrs. Lease,
of Kansas. would soon visit Georgia for
the purpose OF inducing alliance men to
abandon the democratic party and join
the peoples party. They will be given
a respectful hearing. They have moth.
ing to say, and can say nothing, that
will influence any considerable number
of alliance men to leave the democratic
party. Senator PETER was a republican
until he thought it would he to his
interest to break away from that party.
He has perhaps written as many bitter
things about the south and the south
ern people as any other man in the
north in proportion to his capacity
10 do so, and if the peoples
party should amount to nothing
he would go back into the re-
publican party as quickly as he decently
could. He made speech at Cooper In
stitute, New York, a week or so ago
which was coldly received. It was a
very commonplace speech. 1t was
chiefly noticeable for the evidences it
contained of the senator's ignorance of
the questions he undertook to discuss.
Representative Simpson is a much
ADLER man than Senator PETER, but he
creates the impression that he is poll
ticial adventurer and demagogue. He
is one Of that sort of men who come to
the surface when there is feeling of
discomfort among the people, and who
aim to advance their own fortunes by
making themselves the leaders of the
discontented elements.
Mrs. Lease claims the credit of hav-
ing prevented Senator ingalls, re-elec-
ton. If her claim is we'll founded, she
is curiosity. She is a woman who
uses violent language-a woman with
whom other women have very little
sympathy. She says nothing that is
new or worth remembering, but she at
tracts an audience because she uses
rather amusing.
And these three apostles of the new
party are coming to Georgia to make
converts. A great disappointment is
in store for them. They cannot even
bring the message that the peoples
party has control OF Kansas. Within
the last month many of the sub
alliances of that state have
passed resolutions announcing that
they would have nothing to do with
that party. The truth is that most OF
the alliance men of Kansas are republi-
cans at heart, and in the presidential
election they will vote the republican
ticket. Alliance men of Georgia would
make great mistake if they should
place any dependence upon what Messrs.
PETER and Simpson and Mrs. Lease may
say, and they know it. 1t may be safe
ly assumed. therefore, that the mission
of the three Kansas propagandists will
be total failure.

THE sPECULAToR IN WHEAT.
Not Active at Present, but watching, and
Waiting for DEVELOPMENTS.

Waiting for Developments.
Chicago Herald: When the handler
of cash wheat is the most active the
wheat speculator is likely to be laying
low. That's the case this moment.
The grain grower with the aid OF the
grain receiver and the grain shipper,
is now marketing the biggest crop he
ever harvested. The speculator is SIM
ply watching the operation. AT pres
ent he has no Office to perform. Months
ago on the first intimatiou of crop fail
ure abroad he operated for an advance.
When that had gone to considerable
length, he operated for reaction. In
both cases he performed his proper
function and anticiDated important cir
cumstances and eased up their effects.
The speculatOr is ready always trying
to bring about an equilibrium. He
doesn't half the time know it. That,
none the less, is his part. 1t was to
preserve the equilibrium that
prices were rushed up by him on the
first news OF the French crop disaster.
1t was to restore this same equilibrium
that the speculator. thinking that the
balance could only be preserved by
moving prices back somewhat, after
ward turned seller.
He is now evidently in doubt. He is
watching the cash market. II the
farmer and receiver and shipper find it
a very easy matter to sell, prices will
move up. The speculator will then,
more quickly than any other, take the
bull side. If the new wheat does not
sell easily, he will be quick TO see that,
At this juncture the speCulator is not
an anticipation.
There has been here for a week SIM
ply a local scalping market Influenced
by the supply and demand news. There
is one large local short interest, Pard-
ridges. 1t is a line, however, which
has been run in so often that nobody
any longer believes it could have the
slightest influence in preventing an ad-
vance if there appeared any reasons for
one. On this point, indeed, it is worth
while that the market for months. ever
since the departure of Mr.. Hutchinson,
has been dominated by no one, not even
in scalping way. Professionals dur
ing the week have sold freely when the
movement has been very large, bought
at times when the clearances have been
larger and new export business very
heavy.
1t is expected that the receipts this
week will be ahead OF anything 50 far,
away ahead even of last week, with its
3,6D ears. The arrivals last week were
l,000. 900 bushels ahead of the ship
ments. They will probably run fur
ther than that ahead this week. 1t is
althgether likely that free deliveries on
July contracts will begin to be made.
not at all likely that there will be any
defaults on next Saturday. The trade
will have its eyes on the receipts. on
the export clearances. an the cables
and the weather. They will all be fac
tors IN affecting the price. the weather
and the cables particularly so. There
is not much uncertainty about either
the receipts or exports. Both pretty
certainly will be large, both may te

LOVED THE LIGHT,
Five Years In a Coal Shaft She Thought

In parts of Missouri nothing is COM

For five long years it had never

the miners, who used to bring it
bunches of fresh grass in summer or
Jumps of sugar and apples in winter.
One night. when the mule was being
embarrassed, some one proposed TAX

shaft, where she could mutely testify
to her liberators as they came up, that

On the Tented SieId in New York.

Here are two stories that float down
from the state camp:
Early one morning last week two
9TH regiment men had adjoining posts.
Instead of walking in the same direc-
ton, as they should have done, they
were ploddiug toward and from each
other. Suddenly the sentry on post
No. 5 bawled out as he saw some one
approaching from post No. 6:
WHO comes there? Haiti"
The response was quickly given:
Get out, you darned idiot. I'm the
sentinel" Then a whispered conver-
sation was held. the result being that
the matter was to go no further.
The week just passed found a big
German doing sentry duty. The coun-
tersign Lafayette" was given out.
just after the sounding of "taps" a
figure was seen by the German sentry
to come out of the darkness and
toward the post he was patrolling.
Then came the cry, not: WHO comes
there? Haltm but:
WHO ish dot comes py me? Shtop"
Friend" was the reply.
Come on. friendt, and if you don't
say .Lafeet' Won't ledt you pass"

CHINESE IMPoLITENESS.
How a Celestial Can Insult His Enemi
without Great Effort.

1t is as possible to "slit the thin-spun
life" with stiletto as with a broad
sword, and in the most finished periods
a Chinaman finds himself quite able to
express either withering contempt or
remorseless hate. But he has other
ways also. says the Saturday ReUteU,
of giving vent to his ill-humors. The
very punctiiious rules of letter-writing
enable him to convey his dislike by
omission as well as by commission.
Chinese is. it may be explained. writ

but long usage has established the
custom that if the name or attributes
of the person addressed occurs the
column is cut short and the characters
representing these subjects of honor
begin the next column at an elevation
of one or two characters, as the case
may be. above the general level Of the
text. The expressions, for example.
Your honorable country" My be-
nevolent elder brother" and others,
are entitled to stand prominently out
at the head of the columns, a position
which gives them the san h,nd of dis
tinction which capital letters confer
among ourselves.
1t will now be seen what a ready
weapon lie to the hand of a Chinese
letter-writer. To write Your excel
ltplcy" or the name of the correspond
ents country or sovereign in the body
of the column is to intlict dire insult
upon him. and is equivalent to the ex-
preston of the bitterest contempt in
European epistolary style. Occasion

THE IMMIGRATION QUESTION

An American physician who has been
studying in Germany for some time has
come home, and in speaking of the i'm
migration question, said that one effect
of the new law was demonstrated in a
startling manner during lecture that
he recently attended with many other
students in one of the German universi-
ties. THE lecturer produced before the
class an idiot" said the American doc
tor, 'and after discoursing upon his
condition, said to his class: Now gem
tlemen, | shall send this patient into
our own rural districts. OF course it
has been our custom heretofore to send
idiots and the pauper insane to America;
but laws were enacted short time ago
which make such course difficult.
We might be able to slip this man into
one of their ports, but the chances are
against us That is what a German
medical professor told us students" con-
tinued the physician, land you know the

| was told in Austria, upon what l be-
lieve to be good authority, that persons

number of cases, given the alternative
of going to prison or emigrating to

The failure of one of the Italian trans
atlantic steamship companies and the
consequent disclosure of its business
methods throw some light upon the emf
grafton movement in that country. This
company has been carrying emigrants
from Italy to New Orleans or to South
America for Slj or SIG per head, An
other prominent company, which has not
become bankrupt, appears to have been
doing business in the same way.
