We present you our compliments and with
them our first art supplement. The picture
has been secured at great expense, and we
trust it will have hearty reception in the
homes Of our friends. The artist is now
at worn on the drawing for the second num-
Der in THE TINES art series and the pictures
will be ready next month.
Remember that these pictures are abso-
lutely free TO all subscribers, but we do not
give them with the thought that they add
one iota to the intrinsic attractiyeness Of
TIE TINES. But everybody likes to get
something for nothing; and then, too, with
paper that 80 unswervingly eschews SEN
sationalism in its columns, bit of color
blended in its literary life will not. we hope.
be unwelcome occasionally.
We give these pictures only TO subscribers,
and those who live out of Richmond should
watch the dates on the labels Of the paper.
for unless their subscriptions are paid up
they will not enjoy the premium benefits
offered with The TIMES. The pictures. as
we have said. are costly. and as we give
thousands of them away free we cannot
give them to subscribers who are delin-
Quent.
In short time probably as soon as Sep
tember-we hope to give these premiums
oftener.

THE FORCE BILL.

The Force bill which passed tho Ropub-
lican House of Representatives in 1890. and
which Harrison, Reed, Mckinley and all
the other Republican leaders declare that
the Republican party intend to make law.
if they carry the coming election. and
which is plank in the platform Of the Re-
publican party, is most vicious piece Of
general legislation. II is vicious not alone
because 1t would be the most terrible curse
to the people of the Southern States that
could possibly be inflicted upon them. but
it is vicious in its general theory, and would
soon end the freedom Of all elections.
Its main idea is that elections shall be
conducted. controlled and the results certi-
fed by men who are really foreigners in the
neighborhood Of the elections. The vital
principle necessary TO the integrity and
purity Of all elections is that those who

FOLLOWING close upon the expected
Treasury deficit comes the report Of large
shipments of gold to Europe. The New
York journal of Finance says that "vari-
Gus theories have been advanced for the
movement. but the significant fact remains
that since July, 1890, the gold in the Bank
OF France has advanced from f44 600 600
to f6l 600. 600. while the reserves Of the
other countries are practically unchanged.
This would indicate that the movement is q
feat Of French financering." From what
ever source it proceeds, however the fact
remains that there are very large shipments
of gold which our banks are endeavoring to
,top by refusing to pay out gold certificates
for checks drawn against sales Of sterling.
a move which the New York Post says has
caused much diversity of opinion in inan-
cial circles. According to that paper, how
ever, there is one point upon which ell are
agreed, and that is that the refusal of banks
to pay out to exporters anything but treasu-
ny notes and greenbacks would merely shift
the burden from the banks to the treasury,
and in an emergency hasten the fixing of a
premium ongold.

STRIKES seem to be chronic in Homestead.

stopped were on a strike because they said

them about as if they were slaves. This

THE RUSSIAN FAMINE.
Great SHOWS Interfering With
Distribution OF Rood.

ST. PERERsBURG, Feb. 1O.-The condi-
ton OF the roads has been such that no
matter now large a supply OF grain the
government had at its disposal it could
not be distributed, owing to the impossl-
blity of conveyances OF any kind
reaching the places where the dis
tress prevails. This is changed now.
Heavy SHOWS have fallen, a heavy
crust has formed, and goods and
grain may be conveyed in sledges to any
part OF the empire. Much gram has al
ready reached the famine stricken pro-
vlnces, and, according to the reports re-
celved here, the condition OF the sufferers
has much improved. General Annenkotf,
a member OF the famine reIiet committee,
IN charge OF the transportation OF sup

to hold out until spring. The govern

idly pushNg the trans-Slberlan railway
to completion. One OF the propositions

THE COTTON CROP.
II po FROM the Department of
Agriculture.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 10.-The February
cotton report of the statistician of the
of agriculture relates to pro-
portion marketed, quality and yield Of
lint at the close of the picking season.
The losses by insects and price of seed.
The proportion sent from plantations as
estimated by the repor, ers accurately
consolidated is as follows Virginia, 80;
North Carolina, 80; South Carolina, 90;
Georgia, 80; Florida, 80; Alabama, OIL;
Mississippi, SO; Louisiana. 81; Texas,
Sc; Arkansas, SS; Tennessee, 50; Mis-
souri,, SS. General average, 1873 per
cent.
The returns of comparisons with the
CROP. of last year are: Virginia, rs;
North Carolina, 79; South Carolina, 81,
Georgia, S5; Florida, ga; Alabama, 90;
Mississippi, &c. Louisiana, 80; Texas,
107; Arkansas, SO; Tennessee, 81 Mis-
souri, 80. General average 94.3 per
cent.
The returns are remarkably consistent,
as their indicated results vary by less
than one per cent, indicating crop of
about halt million bales short of that
OF 1890.
The October reports Of the two years
make almost identical difference. These
results are submitted without comment.
The estimated average at the time of
close of picking is, by states, Virginia,
December II; North Carolina, December
10; South Carolina, December s; Geor-
gia, December T. Florida, November 20
Alabama, December 2; Mississippi, De-
cember 10; Louisiana, December ~;
Texas, December 4; Arkansas, December
II; Tennessee, December II; Missouri,
December 49,
The quality is the highest for many
years. The staple medium, or somewhat
short color, is excellent, and unusually
free from trash The low price of cotton
and the disappointment in money returns
have led to a large sale of seed to Gil mills
at prices somewhat reduced as follows:
Virginia, IA cents per bushel; North
Carolina, IL; South Carolina, l+.5;
Georgia, lbs; Florida, IA; Alabama.
l3; Mississippi, u; Louisiana, III
Texas, IL; Arkansas, II; Tennessee, 13;
Missouri, H.
On the Atlantic coast the larger use of
seed for fertilization makes relatively
higher price.
Losses from insects were not very Sc
rious and were mainly confined to the
Cult coast states. The boil worm was
nearly as destructive as caterpillars.

bellion and have since enlisted in the
army and navy and become disabled.
In the house Mr.. Rusk, of Maryland,
from the committee on accounts, reported
a resolution for the appointment OF two
additional messengers for service in the
house MIR. Rusk stated that their ser
vices were required and that their APP
polntment would be given to the minor
lty. But this statement did not satisfy
Mr.. Hopkins, OF Illinois, who twitted
the democrats with thrlamoring for reform
and yet proposing 10 increase expenses.
Mr.. Enloe, OF Tenn, did not think
any more messengers were needed.
Mr.. Butler, OF Iowa, concurred in this
view, but said that if the appointments
were made one at least should be given
to the democrats.
Mr.. Covert, OF New York, supported
the report OF the committee, declaring
that according to the statement OF the
doorkeeper the increase in the force was
necessary.
The resolution was adopted-veas,

TWAS A MULE.
And 1t Threw Its Rider, Hurting
Him BADLY.

Oliver English, who lives in Madison
county, was IN town today, and about
II O'Clock started home. He was riding
a mule which showed by it's actions that
it was bent on mischief, rearing and
bucking every few steps.
When mule and rider had reached a
point just in front of Capt. c. NJ.
McLoud's gate. on North Main, the
mule made a sudden Jump, throwing its
rider to the ground.
Mr.. Engllsh's head struck violently
against the rail of the street car track.
An ugly cash was cut in his head, and
the bridge of his nose was broken by a
rock. Mr.. English was rendered un-
conscious by the fall.
DR.. Chas. Jordan was passing and
dressed the man S wounds, which, though
painful, are not very serious. he re-
gained consciousness in about twenty
minutes, but had no recollection what
ever OF his tall. He was taken to the
house of friend not far away, and it is
thought he will soon recover.

guards and priests, who, as they marched
before and behind the condemned, read
the prayers for the dying, were taken to
the plaza. Here they assembled the plat
