HOPE TOSTAVE orr A VOTE.
Attitude Of the SilVeritG Forces in the
Senate.

Confidence That Unconditional Repeal
Would be Carried if the Question
Gould be Brought to an Issue-Gen.
Gordon's Speech a Surprise to the
Free Coinage Men and Great Help
to Other Opponents-Plan of the Re-
peal Men to Deplete or Wear Out the
Silver Men BY Sessions if the Latter
Unite for Delay.
Washington, August 31-For some
days it has been considered
pretty certain that unconditional repeal
would go through the Senate if it could
come TO vote. The doubt has been as to
the ability of therepeal men to get vote.
The probability of that is greatly
strengthened. There has been pretty
steady shrinkage in the number whom the
silver men feel that they can depend on
to fight it out through thick and thin for
silver Senator Gordon's declaration
In favor of repeal was something of sur
prise, and Indicates that there may be
other senator's whose course will be as
surprising as his.
SENATOR MORGAN WONT FfLLIBUsTER.
They counted largely on Senator Morgan
to aid them in filibustering, but they have
now given up that hope in that matter.
His assistance would have been potent,
and to be deprived of it is discouraging.
WhHe his views have not changed as to
silver, he will not join in any flibuster.
While this does not weaken the deter
mination Of the radical silver men to de-
lay the vote as long as possible, their
power of endurance is necessarily cur
tailed by shrinkage Of their numerical
strength On the other hand, the anti
silver men, who thought they would get
repeal through the Senate in two
weeks, have extended the limit to
three weeks, and say if they do not get
vote at that time they will begin the
policy of wearing out their opponents by
continuous session, night and day. The
silver men feel that they cannot for q
certainty rely ON the populists.
THE DREAM OF TIRE PoPULIsTs.
The populists think the repeal of the
Sherman act by the votes of democrats
and republicans will drive great many
men in the south and west into the popu-
list party. Therefore, they win not re-
gret its passage In that way. Jerry
Simpson says he takes some satisfaction
In the prospect that this will increase the
populist party. Senator Stewart insists
that unconditional repeal will never pass
the Senate.

nary rate of speed, as it left Albany on
time, and no danger was feared until the
moment that the bridge sank under the
weight of the locomotive The river bed
is some ten or twelve feet below the
bridge. The engine went through first,
and five palace cars were piled upon it, one
above another.

AGRICULTURAL BULLETIN.
Commissioner Nesbits Estimates and
Views as to the Crops.

Atlanta, Ca, Aug. 31.-Advance sheets
of the regular monthly bulletin issued by
the department of agriculture shows that
the most recent Developments are conclu-
sively bearing out the predictions fire.
quently made of short crop this year.
Not counting the devastation of the hur-
rlcane which swept across the state Sun
day night, the freaks of the elements in
North and Middle Georgia have been
such as to play havoc with the crop. AS
Commissioner Nesbit puts it, in these sec
tions the crop appears to be good to
the casual observer, but on a closer in
spection it is found that there are
more leaves and weeds than buds or
forms. A great deal Of rain, followed by
protracted drought, has produced this re-
suit. Everywhere the crop is backward,
and its ultimate size and yield will de-
pend upon the lateness of the fall. Rust
IS also doing much damage, and a pc
culiar result reported in the sections
where rain has followed the drought is
scalding the plants, which causes it to
shed its leaves and bolls
THE WORLD Is ANXIOUS.
The commissioner says the eyes of the
world are now upon the south. For the
next two months we will be occupied in
gathering the cotton crop, and he urges
the farmers of Georgia not to waste a
ment's time in housing their cotton, which
is of more or less interest to every civil
lied nation on the globe. While
the farmers of Georgia have of late years
made their crop, $35,000,000 worth,
at an actual loss to them, it
throws life and activity into every ave-
nue. of trade. Especially is marketing
important at this time, when the country
is suffering from financial paralysis.
Commissioner Nesbit says plainly to
the farmers that he fears they will
have to settle their Indebtedness with
cotton at five or six cents, or perhaps
less.
THE EASTERN sHYLOCKs.
To prevent this calamity he advises the
farmer to plant his crops in the hands of
his merchant, by holding it; then to pro-
tect the credit of both, and finally to
break the unjust financial system which
enables few money-lenders to control
the money of the country to the ruin of
the south and west and the profit of the
eastern shyloeks.
The bulletin shows the average Of
crops for the state to be (this average is
made up on conditions before the recent
hurricane) cotton, 79 81 per cent; corn
3S2S per cent; rice rs per cent. The rice
crop is estimated to be cut down = by
the storm of Sunday night. In southeast
Georgia cotton is n per cent, and in Mid
die Georgia 81 per cent.

Guarding Against Diphtheria.


The dread disease, diphtheria, ap-
pears to be again in frequency and ia
tality. Several Wisconsin cities are
now afflicted by it, although the season
at which it gathers it's greatest hold
and exhibits its worst virulencv has
not yet opened. Interest in the terri
bic disease has been quickened
among the medical fraternity and some
valuable and instructive reports have
been issued by the State Board of
Health touching the causes and pre-
ventives and treatments ofdiphtheria.
These facts make consideration of the
widespread prevalence and fatality of
the disease in the largest cities of the
utmost interest. The city of London
is just now suffering an epidemic of
diphtherla surprising in the number of
cases and fatalities any visitation of
the kind in that city. Upwards of 400
new cases have been reported each
week, from 20 to 25 per cent. of which
prove fatal. Nearly 5000 deaths have
occurred in London from diphtheria
during the past two months.
