SIMPSONS VIEWS.
The SockIess Statesman Sees Great Pos
sibilities in Coalition.

Special Telegram 20 tte Register
WASHINGTON, u. c., March 1.-THE
dispatch from Kansas announcing a
coalition between the Democrats and
the Peoples Party in that State for the
election next fall has excited consider
able interest here. The impression
among a great many is that coalition
between the Democrats and Peoples
party in those States where the Farm
ers' Alliance movement is strong might
have very important influence upon
the Presidential election. Jerry Simp-
son said tonight that he did not know
whether or not tine statements in the
dispatch were true, but il they were the
coalition would not be confined to Kan
sas alone, but would extend to Nebras-
ka, the two DakotaS, Minnesota and
possibly Iowa.
There is some doubt about Iowa, it is
thought, chiefly because the Democrats
fought so strongly there that they
might not want to enter into cOmbi-
nation. Mr.. Simpson said that he
thought the peoples party and the DEM
ocratS together could carry Kansas by
60. 600, and they could also carry
Nebraska, the two DakotaS and Min
nesota. This, he said, would throw the
election Of President into the House Of
Representatives. He added that he
thought the Democrats might lose one
or two Of the Southern States.

UNLESS.

Ex-senator Ingalls,, in a speech
made at Topeka on the 9Th of
October, undertook to predict that,
as between Cleveland and Harrison
"the battle was to be fought in the
Western and Northwestern States
and that Cleveland would surely.
be defeated, ss'a1ess enough electors
were chosen for Weaver to prevent
Harrison's election" That little
word suazess has a big hope in it for
Democracy. Ingalls, would not
have used it enless he saw danger
in certain of the Western and
Northwestern States a brewing
for Harrison. Should Ingalls,
unless bear fruit and Cleveland be
elected because Weaver is sin il"
then the "third party" will have
hurt Republicans more than Dem
ocrats--all of which was prognos-
ticated in these columns at the
birth of the "third party"

WHAT THE FIGURES SAY.

The figures say that since 1881
the corn crop of the South has in
creased Is per cent. as against II
per cent. in the rest of the
country; the cotton crop within
the same period has increased
from 5,50o,000 bales to 100000
bales-an increase in value, even
with tie present low price, Of
s2oo,Oo0,ooo. In 1891 there were
nearly 10000 miles of railroad in
the South, against less than
24,oooin '81-a gain of 81 PEI cent.
as against a gain of 56 per cent
in the rest Of the country. The
passenger traffic Of the same roads
increased during the same period
300 per cent. In pig iron manufac-
ture the south's output jumped
from $4,000 tons in 1881 to
1s14,o00 tons in 1ss1-:::a gain of
223 per cent. against a. gain for
the rest of the country Of *7S per
cent.
These are the figures as taken
A

Henry Clews' Forecast.

New YORK, Oct. 10.-On Sep
tember 16 we issued the following
bulletin to our customers on the
cotton market:
"The agricultural bureau report
to September, inclusive, reduces
the acreage and condition of the
crop SO as to reach the assumption
that this years product may not
exceed 6,5O0,090 bales and may
even be materially lessened in the
event of early frosts. Added to
this 100000 bales left over from
last years crop, makes total of
100000 bales. The worlds con-
sumption has now reached $780,
600 bales, SO that the prospects are
that instead of this country having
all excess of cotton this year, as in
the Two previous years, there will
not be enough to supply the de-
mand. When this situation is
realized in the cotton market 1T
will soon be found that there will
be more buyers for it upon its
merits than, as of late, sellers on
it's supposed demerits.
Those that bought at the time
advised would have made SO points,
equal to $415 on each 100 bales. as
there has been a steady advance
from that time up to date. ~
Henry Clews."

PROHIBITION.

The subject, prohibition, will
come up In our next Legislature
for discussion. The people have
passed upon this question and
say that they want aslaw H on the
statute books prohibiting the sale
of intoxicating liquors in this

prohibitory- statuta~.is left to the
discretion of the Legislature, but
it should be of such a nature as
to give ttne m 4: matter a fair test. To

Fatal Prize Fight in Memphis.

MEMPHIS, October ga rattling
eight round mill took place last
night at the Amateur Athletic
Club in this city between Jack
Davis, a professional prize fighter
from Texas, and Dick Barker, who
halls from. Louisville, and is at
present at work in Memphis as q
moulder, which resulted in the
deathof the latter at noon to-day.
Davis was seconded by Mike
Comfy, :"The Ithaca Giant" and
Bob Lee, a local sport. Barker had
behind him Tom Matthews and
Jim Ryan. UP to the eighth round
the amateur had the best of the
fight, Davis being weak and
groggy. Towards the end Of the
eighth round Davis landed q
swinging left hand blow on Bar
ker's chin, which knocked him
out.
Nothing serious was apprehen-
ded until to-day, when Barker
took to his bed. Medical aid was
summoned, but to no purpose.
Barker died, and the doctors
decline to state until after the
autopsy, which will be held to-
morrow, whether death resulted
from the force of the blow or from
congestion. Davis is in Jail pend
ing an investigation. The seconds
are being arrested and placed un-
der bond.

They're parched to suit the taste Of all

They're good for each and every ill,
That all mankind is heir to;
So DR.. Jennings recommends,
And Whatley says he'll swear to.
His new pint measure holds quart;
He bought it for the 'casion;
How he can heap the glass so high,

He sells 'em cheap and gives heap
Try, if you've got mind to;
All them that's tried are satisfied,
And them that hain't 'er gwine to!
To prove unto your girl you're not,

Open your heart and bust your bank
Send her peck Of pinders,
They'll fill her gentle heart with Joy,
They'll cure her indigestion,
She'll wilt and flop right in your arms,
Ifthen you'll pop the question.
When shall get the gal I want,
A perfect little Venus
I'll buy barrel of goober peas,
And set it down between US.
Well take our ease and eat them peas,
In bliss and hunkydore,
Till Gabriel blows his big bazoo,
Then climb up INTO glory.
If ever she gets on her ear,
And tries her hand at quar'ling
Like General Grant l then will shout
@Let US have peas" my darling,
And if she makes break TO use,
The broomstick in the quarrel,

And hide behind the barrel.
