impression is that il was thunder shower

many tons of dead weight to carry

THE GOLDBUGS.

We have received a letter from the
editor in chief Of the Atlanta COnstitu
tiOn concerning a reference made in
our columns last week. We published
an article written by MI. Peele under
theshead of "Hamiltonian Democracy"
and stated that it had been refused by
the Constitution, Washington Post
and New York World.
The editor Of the Constitution says
we did him a great injustice when we
said his paper was marrow and des-
perate enough to attempt to suppress
anything that may tend to show UP
the fallacious doctrine of the gold
bugs" If ESQ, we beg pardon. 1t really
seemed that way. He also says the
"COnStitutiOn has been humping at
the goldbugs just Is hard as it can in
its editorial columns" We give the
Constitution credit for opposing the
nomination of the greatest of all gold
bugs, Gar Cleveland, but it was for
Hill, who is a much smaller potato and
no better. We give the Constitution
credit for talking right between cam
paigns, but it supports a party and
men who are Numerically opposed to
what it claims is right. The editor
he gets probably a hundred com
munications every day, most of them
on financial matters, and cannot find
for one fourth of them, giving
that as a reason for returning Mr..
Peele's article.
The right thing for the Constitution
aud other papers to do is to throw off
the shackles and come out for honest
and honest parties. Then there
will be no further trouble. We will
never get any reform, any honest gov
eminent until more newspapers sup
port what they say is right. AS long
as they give in, be whipped into line,
as it were, the p~lutocrats will continue
their Ito the people, ruinous course.
To the Constitution we will say that
salvation is still FREE" If you want
to be saved, renounce the plutocrat
and his works and come out on the
side of right.

CURIOUS ECONOMY.

At a meeting of the Board of Trus-
tees of the A. 6 M. College week be-
fore last a good deal of economy was
practiced, but in a strange way. MI
J. N. Hubbard has been Steward of
the College ever since it was started.
His salary was $500 per mum. The
place was abolished, the Board say, for
the sake of economy, and the Superin
tendent of the Farm and Steward are
now one and the same.
We are for economy in everything,
but fail to see how it comes about in
this transaction. The sum Of $500 was
cut off and $1,41O added on. The
salaries of three of the professors was
increased 5000 each. The salary of the
matron was increased from $35 to $40
per month. Two assistants at $3.50
each and board were placed in the
chemical department., and one assist
ant added to the farm force, at $3.50
per annum, and board. These three
positions were filed by young men who
had just graduated from the institu-
ton.
The farm u in connection with
the College consists of 60 acres The
Superintendent and other Officials
of this farm cost s., 900 each year out
side of ~laborers employed, which is
additional.
No charges we're brought against Mr..
Hubbard. Heis an energetic, competent
man and doubtless saved the college
more than his salary each year by close
attention to business and careful watch
ing in purchasing supplies. There was
no "jobbery" in his transactions. He
is a Jealous member of the Alliance,
but that shouldn't be a cause for abol
ishing his Office, for the President and
several of the faculty of the College are
members. Mr.. Hubbard was a brave
soldier in the late war and left one leg
on the battlefield. He has always been
a Democrat and, though he doesn't ap-
prove of the Wall street part Of it, he
has stood by the party and was a
faithful worker, hoping all the time for
good to come after awhile. Then what
reason can be surmised for his dis
charge, and where and in what way
have the Board of Trustees practiced

SOME MISTAKES,

It is a great mistake to suppose that
the subscription price of your paper is
clear profit to it's publisher. White
paper costs money, it takes money to
pay printers, it takes money to pay for
presswork, it takes money for every
thing.
1t is a mistake to suppose that money
due us now for subscription and adver,
Using would be as good to us a year
hence as now.
1t is a mistake to suppose that we
would not be just as thankful for a dol
lar now due us, or a dollar for a re-
newal as for a dollar for a new sub
scription.
1t is a great mistake to suppose that
we do not need every cent that is now
due us, and that badly.
Now, dear reader, if you have been
guilty of any of these mistakes, let us
beg you to correct them as soon as pos

MORTGAGES IN CONNECTICUT.

There are 1875, 800 families in the
State of Connecticut, and SO, 915 or
So 40 per cent. rent their homes, while
Al So per cent. own them. The aver
age value of each farm in the State is
So, lis; average debt on each farm
amounts to 81, 1865, or a little over one
third of the total value. The average
value of each home (city and country
is So, 926; average debt on each home,
81, 694. That is a startling showing,
and under present conditions not one
out of 1 ZOO a ver pay off this in
debtedness.
On the fret of January, 1890, the
total indebtedness hanging over the
farms and homes of the State was
$45, 4O2, 845. The population of Con-
necticut is not as large as that of South
Carolina by more than one-third and is
nearly all white. The real estate in
.debtedness of Connecticut is, in round
numbers nine times as much as that of
South Carolina. Add the one-third for
lack of population and we find that the
people of Connecticut are about four,
teen times as much in debt as the peo-
pie Of South Carolina.

THE FRAUDULENT CONVENTION

The Anti Trust Conven ion that met
in Chicago on the 5th was a fraud of
the first water. We expected this from
the very fact that the delegates were
not all anti trust men. The appointive
power in most cases was favorable to
trusts and care was taken to appoint
delegates who would not harm a trust
from a majority of the States. True
Gen. J. B. Weaver, Ignatius Donnelly
and a few other good men were ap-
pointed to make it look respectable,
but when the convention met it was
soon found that a majority were of the
milk and cider class. Consequently
the real anti trust men bolted the con
vention and took proper action, while
the milk and cider friends of the trusts
drank Chicago whiskey and let the
trusts alone entirely. No use to try to
take action against trusts so long as so
many Governors are members of them
or friendly to their schemes for rob
berry.

FARMING DOES PAY.

A South Carolina prosperity paper
recently interviewed a prominent
farmer" who vas willing to say that
farming pays. He gave the editor a
graphic description of how he began
on nothing and by industry
''sobriety" and "hard work" he is
now in ''good circumstances" How
ever, a calamity bowler investigated
the matter and found that the farmer
started in 1857 and his great riches now
amounts to about $1,000 worth of real
estate and that was accumulated dur
ing the good times just after the war.
So this hard. working man had saved
about $28 year by rigid economy and
was fool enough to brag about it.
We know that some farmers have
done much better than others, but we
always look with suspicion on the man
who declares that farming pays now
adays simply because we know he is a
liar. A great many people like a little
newspaper notoriety and think they
must put up a nice story for the public.
.Ninety-nine of every hundred supposed
prosperous farmers to day are badly IN

THE BRAvEsT OF THE BRAVE,

We notice a good deal of slush in
the State papers about the "brave
stand" that major so and SO or colonel
this or that took in the last campaign.
They tell in glowing words how the
'stentorian voice of the brave man was
heard from the mountains to the sea-
shore" and that she changed thousands
of votes by his eloqIence." And for all
this the present administration ought
to give the major or the colonel some
thing nice" and let the people foot the
bill.
After all it was the many obscure
men who acted as registrars, judges of
elections and returning boards who
Saved the State" By basely deceiv,
ing voters when they went to register,
by stuffing ballot, boxes so they could
throw whole townships and counties
away when the majority was on the
wrong side, they ''made the thousands
of votes" while the ''brave," the ''elo-
the logical" major or colonel
so and SO made votes only by the half
dozen. The great honest people of
North Carolina are thinking about
these things and they will not submit
to it much longer.

RAPID TRANSIT PROBLEM
SOLVED.

Sixty miles an hour on through YES
tibuled trains does not satisfy the crav-
ings for rapid travelling. A system of
elevated road has been patented and is
owned by a company in Virginia,
called the "Brott system" The propo.
sition is to build an electric elevated
road beside or over some of the great
railroads for the transportation of
through passengers and mail. The en-
tire road and cars are to be constructed
of steel, and it is claimed that it al be
done for $40, 900 per mile. The plan is
to place the bottom of the roadway
several feet in the earth, this part be-
ing in the shape of the letter 1 and the
top of it being like the letter U; in
other words it will closely resemble the
letter I with the U on top of it. The
cars will have a large wheel directly
in the centre underneath which will
bear up the entire weight and run on a
steel rail laid on the bottom of the U.
Wheels will be placed on each side Of
the cars and they will run in grooves
about half way up the sides of the q,
This will tend to keep the cars bal
anced and make it impossible for them
to leave the U shaped steel structure,
which will be very strong, of course.
Electric plants will be placed about 100
miles apart and these cars will be run
at from 100 to 200 miles an hour with
safety. But few stops will be made
only at large cities-and there will be
no stopping for wood, coal or water.
It is thought that a train of this kind
can run from New York to San Fran
cisco in thirty hours. There will be no
