ever saw, and at the same time it is the
poorest. The land produces ee-fourths
to bale of cotton to the acre without fer
tilizers, but the farmers and merchants are
all in debt and hard run for money.
Money is loaned here at from 10 to Is per
cent. The people plant all cotton. The
lands produce from forty to fifty bushels
of corn per acre, yet the farmers do not
raise as much corn here as is raised on the
poor hills of Carolina and Georgia. No
wheat and very few oats are produced
here. A farmer here will raise 1000 bales
of cotton, and next Spring mortgage land,
stock and crop and pay IL per cent. inter-
est FOR money to make another crop.
This looks like conclusive evidence that
it will not pay to raise all cotton at cents
prices. There are no manufacturing en-
terprises in this County except cotton seed
oil mills. There is large overproduc-
ton of cotton and negroes"

QUITE FAMILIAR TALK.

In recent interview SARA BERN
HARDr is reported as saying: "My earn
ings during my career? Nothing. Moth
ing, say. II comes, 1t goes. l keep
no account. Could not spend money !
would not earn it. Money Is to spend.
I deteSt accounts. / don't bother. !
have enough. l never calculate. l
can't calculate. o, bother the money!
We are used to this sort OF talk, but
it comes from the statesmen who figured
In our Billion-dollar Congress. If her
destiny had made SARA BERNHARDr a
full-fedged American citizen, wearing
pants, she would have made conspicu-
Gus financial record. Her ideas are en-
tirely in accord with those Of our lead
ing Republican statesmen.
Money is simply thing to be spent,
and no accounts should be kept. This
is the Observation-Disclosures
idea of running the government. Get
the money and spend it. That is the
main thing. Then, when inquiries are
made. let the reply be made that our
statesmen cannot be bothered, aud they
are too busy to keep accounts, especial
" when IL is we'll known fact that
money is made and accumulated simply
to be spent.
Some cautious director will say that
SARAH BERNHARDT's financial policy
will send her back to the gutter. 1t
may. Our BilliOn-dollar statesmen
squander money, but they seem to pros
per in spite OF it all. Under some circum-
stances profgacy and extravaganza
seem to be winning cards. They have
not injured BERNHARDT, and our spend
thrift Republican statesman seem to get
along better than their more econonmi-
cal contemporaries. But the American
people are not fools.

A BAD FAILURE.


The German Emperor and Other Aristo-
era ic German Dignitaries Lose Heavily
by Decayed Bank.
BERLIN, November 5.-The suspen-
sion yesterday of the firm of Hirschfield
s. Wolf, the bankers, Of this city.
caused sensation In financial circles,
but it was nothing to the developments
of to-day. 1t was reported at the time
the failure was announced that the EN-
press of Germany and Prince Henry OF
Prussia were liable to lose large
amount by the failure, and that Minis
ter of Public Worship, DR.. Won Gossler,
had lost his entire fortune, and that
many members OF the most aristocratic
families were involved In the firms
troubles.
Under such Circumstance = rigid in
vestigation into the affairs Of Hirsch-
field and Wolf was only natural. This
inquiry into the bankers business meth
DDS commenced yesterday and resulted
this morning In the arrest OF Herr Wolf,
head of the firm of Hirschfeld & Wolf,
on charge of a most serious nature,
the particulars of which have not yet
been made public.
This financial upheaval Is the only
thing being talked about to-day in Ber-
lin, and further and more startling de-
velopments are expected when the full
facts become known. The amount OF
the firms liabilities is not yet known,
but it is understood that-4t Is very
large.

THE PRESIDENTS MESSAGE.

1t is a little premature but some OF our
contemporaries are already making an
effort to forecast the Presidents mes
sage.
Undoubtedly, Mr.. HARRISON Will
have no lack Of material to talk about.
He will have an opportunity OF express
ing his views upon China's rejection OF
Minister BLAIR. The course OF FRED
ERIcK DOUGLASS in Hayti will also
afford good subject for an important
paragraph. Then the Itata affair will
deserve attention, and the Hon. PAT
EeAN's conduct in Chile should COM
mand due attention. Our financial sit
uation, the present 75-cent dollar and so
forth and so on will naturally occupy
some space, and there are other matters
OF foreign and domestic policy that
should receive very explicit treatment.
1t is reported that the illness OF
Private Secretary HALFoRD has made 1t
necessary for the President TO write MS
own message, without assistance. This,
however, is q matter of slight impor-
lance. II Mr.. HARRISON will discuss
the facts Of the situation in a plain,
common sense way, his countrymen
will gladly overlook minor drawbacks,
so far as style is concerned. And yet
there is strong impression on the pub
lie mind that the message will be dis
appointing document. We do not well
see how it can be otherwise. The ad-
ministration from first to last has been
unsatisfactory and laundering, and 1t
will take something more than few
well-turned phrases to bids its weak
points. Still, we should be willing to
wait and let the document speak for
itself. Mr.. HARRISON is entitled to and
should receive fair treatment.

RUSSIAN wATERMELONs.
A Delightful Fruit which Is Produced in
Dakota.
Neso York Tribune.


"New Workers seem to consume an
immense quantity of watermelo1s," re-
marked man from South Dakota,
while lunching with Tribune reporter
and observing the melon proelivlties Of
several persons about him. But /
doubt" he added, ''if any of them ever
tasted a Russian melon"
What is it?" inquired the reporter.
"A watermelon we have in Dakota.
The seed was brought there by Mennon-
tiles, OF whom there is a colony of about
500 strong between 1ankton and Sioux
Falls. That is the way the Russian
melon gets its name, aud it is confined
TO that region. 1t differs from the
Southern wstermelonS which you New
Workers use so freely in being small.
1t is no lagrer, indeed, than
an ordinary canteloupe, and per-
fectly round. TIE flavor is delicious,
the pulp being Sweeter aud if possible
more juicy than that OF the Eastern
melon. These melons grow we'll in Da-
kota, and when the winds cross the
prairi9s are hot aud parching they are
inexpresSibly delicious. The farmers
gather a considerable crop in the fall
something as they do pumpkins, in
fact, and tuck them away in the hay,
aud by that means many of these little
melons are kept well along into the win
ter.
THE South Dakota farmers obtain a
very palatable syrup from these melons
by extracting the juice and eyaporatIng
it. The concentration produces a syrup
which is an excellent substitute for SUI
gar, and have eaten delicious cake
Sweetened only with the syrup Of those
little Russian watermelons."

TRAIN HELD UP

In the Most Approved Old Fashioned
Siyle-Mail and Express Cars Looted and
Passengers Robbed.
OMAHA, NEB., November 5.-Passen-
gers on the Missouri Pacific train which
left Omaha at 1890 last night were
treated to an old fashioned "hold up" at
West End, suburb, at II o'clock.
Four masked men took charge OF the
train when it stopped at the station one
covering the engineer and fireman with
a rifle while the others proceeded to
plumber the train with drawn revolt
vers.
They approached the coaches and
ordered the passengers to throw up their
hands. At the door they retreated and
attacked the nail car.
BY threatening to blow open the doors
with dynamite the messenger was in
duced to admit the robbers and the car
was plundered. The officers refuse to
give any information as to the amount
OF booty secured, but it is said that
large sums from Kansas City and ST.
Louis were secured.
Officers went in pursuit on foot. 1t
is estimated that the robbers secured
$1,000.

TIE action Of the New York PreSby-

grounds for attack. What they will do
