The executive departments OF the govern
ment are practically closed until after the
election. With two exceptions the cabinet
ministers are all cut hunting for votes and
nave no time TO attend to the affairs OF the
people. The clerks and heads OF depart
nents, who are not already at home cam
palgning, are neglecting public affairs while
they hustle around and tie up loose ends of
red tape preparatory TO going home to vote.
In some instances, it is said, public business
Is actually suffering because there are no
clerks or executives to take care OF it, In
Steve Elkins' department this disregard OF
0ncial duty is said TO be most fragrant

The Majority VIII Be Forthcoming

1t has been discovered that the Georgia code
provides that a candidate for presidential cleo
tor shall have majority vote as q coalition of
election IL is necessary, therefore, for the
Georgia democrats TO poll larger vote than
the republicans, populists and prohibItionists
combined, aud there is no reason to doubt that
they will do this easily. Neither harrison nor
south. Tbs force bill settles that.

Other colored men in Scriven county than
the one mentioned in the MORNING News a
day or two ago have received abusive aud
threatening letters within the last few days.
The colored men who receive these letters
are not democrats. but voted the democratic
ticket in the state election AMI will prob
ably vote for the democratic candidate for
congress at the November election.
It is stated very positively by leading
democrats of Scriven county that no one
believes that the threatening letters are in
spirel, written or sent by cOloTed repub-
iicans. Democrats, of course, do not send
them. It is evident that the purpose of
them is to prevent colored men from voting
the democratic ticket.
The democrats will give the colored men
all the protection necessary to enable them
to vote as they please. No doubt q good
many of them will vote for the democratic
candidate for congress, The colored people
arc beginning to understand at last that
the democrats are their best friends.
The reward that has besn offered in
Scriven county by the de nocratic cam
paign committee for information leading TO
the arrest and conviction of the author of
the threatening letters to colored voters will
be productive Of good results probably.
1t is to be hoped it will. The authors of
the letters deserve the severest punishment
the lsw will permit.

Some republican leaders do tell the truth
about the status OF the campaign, it seems,
when they have no idea that It will get
into print. Corporal Tanner, who used to
run the pension department, wrote letter
to q Minneapolis banker the other day, III
which he advised that every effort be made
to carry Minnesota, as both New York and
Indiana were as sure to go democratic as
the sun was to rise on Nov. 8. The banker
to whom this interesting bit Of information
was written, having become Disguised with
the Republican party, felt under no obliga-
tions to Tanner to keep his views q secret,
80 he gave the letter to the press.

B cycles and the Tariff.

There are a great many bicycles in use in
and about Savannah. The number must be
considerably in the hundreds. And they
are good machines, too. Most of them cost
from S135 to $3.50 trimmed" and some of
them cost more than 5000. The people who
ride the wheels are proud Of their property,
and those small wage-earners, whose incomes
will not permit of their owning such ma
chimes, look on while the others spin
over the asphalt. And great
many Of them might own good wheels,
too, were it not for the Mckinley bill. That
evil genius even lays its hand ON the bicycle
aud says that the purchaser must pay a tax
of As per cent. before he can become the
owner Of a wheel. That is the duty on
foreign-msde bicycles. Suppose that As
per cent. were reduced to 10 per cent, isn't
it easy to see that a great many more
wsge.earners would be able to take
long, health-Eiving spins on wheels
OF their own after or before work
hours? The demand for good wheels would
be increased. purchasers in moderate cir
cumstenoes would not be so badly pinched
to make payments and the result would be

But what will present and prospective
bicycle owners think when they are told
that, under the Mckinley bill, person In
London can buy bicycle made in Mssss-
chusetts for just about three>quartsrs OF
what the same machine would cost il bought
in Savannah! Yet the Springfield Repub-
ljcdn asserts that such Is the fact, and quotes
a letter from a manufacturer to corre-
spondent in London to prove it. The CORE
spoudent in London happened to be Massa-
chusetts man who wished to learn the truth
or falsity of report that an American
bicycle could be bought cheaper IN England
than in America, and he found that it was
| true.
In his letter to the supposed EuglishmAn
the manufacturer quoted the regular price

A queer kind of story comes from Rich.
mond regarding Mahone's management OF
the Virginia campaign. 1t is to the effect
that the erratlc little bundle of egotism will
not permit his party to grow beyond cor
tain limit In 1889 Malone ran for gov
ernor, and the republican vote OF that year
he wishes, as matter Of personal pride, to
be regarded as high water mark; conse-
quently he will not permit any kind OF
organization which would result IN a vote
comparing unfavorably with the vote cast
for him. The story is from a repu alican
source and may be taken for what it is
worth. At the same time it is notable that
many republicans OF influence in Virginia
are breaking away from the Malone crowd
and going over 20 the democrats Gen. G.
a. Martin, of Norfolk county. and Judge
Drury Hinton, of Petersburg, we're among
the prominent republicans to declare for
Cleveland during the past week.
