WHEN HE COMES.

The polished editor of The GLOBE ex-
poets in a short time to go to Washing
ton. His stay there will be very brief, as
he wants to see some people in a big city
who are net painting and waiting for
office. And accordingly he will 60 to
New York. His s%ojourn in the metrop-
oils, however, will be brief, as are his able
articles. But he hastens to assure the
esteemed Prevaricator of the Washington
News that what he says, as follows, is the
whole truth and nothing but the truth:
Col. AL FAIRBROTHER. editor of THE DUR
HAM GLOBE, Wi. be in Washington in a few
days to save the country. The colonel has
committed the riot az. to memory. and will
repeat it in a loud voice on the White House
grounds so that the president may hear. He
feels quite aggrieved because Mr.. CLEVELAND
went fishing without consulting him as to the
proper bait.
The ripping riot act which he will
read to his UNCLE GROVER, will simply
be a reiteratiOn of his gems of thought
which he has thrown out from time to
time, and he shall insist that he hears
the plaintive wall, even if it takes a gong
to accomplish it.
The programme has not, as yet, been
fully determined, but enough may be
divulged at this time to indicate the fact
that the colonel will march up Pennsyl.
vania avenue and then march down again
If GROVER does not hear him roar, we
take it, from this standpoint, that it will
be Growers fault.

THE CLOUDS BRIGHTER.

Bradstreet's of Saturday says: The
clouds over the general business situation
throughout the country have continued
to break away. This is the second week
in which an actual Improvement has been
recorded as indicated by an increase in
volume and distribution of merchandise
reported at Cincinnati, indianapolis, Chi
CagO, st. Louis, Kansas City and Omaha.
More travellers have been sent out from
these and other points, and manufacture
ing industries there, as we'll as at larger
eastern Centers, have in a number of in.
stances begun starting up, some without
special orders. AT cities other than those
specified, with few exceptions, there is
an Improvement in the feeling among
merchants and bankers as to the pros
poets for fall trade, and at all points, with
very few exceptions, there is a growth of
confidence in a revival of demand during
the autumn months.
There were 800 business failures re-
ported throughout the United States this
week, which marks a sharp decrease 90,
although weekly totals thus far do not in
dictate a permanent tendency to decrease.
The total number of the business failures
throughout the country was only 1873
two years ago 11S; three years ago al,
and in the corresponding week of 1899,
l43.
There is a gain Of confidence in an
early return of more prosperous business
at Memphis, where new cotton is ex-
pected to have a visible effect on general
trade soon. There is no real gain in
volume of merchandise distributed from
Nashville, but there is a much better feel
ing. Atlanta advices are that the sales of
cotton have resulted in an improved feel
ing manufacturers reported some dull
ness, but bankers are extending loans
somewhat. The increased confidence at
Augusta is conspicuous, although cotton
receipts there are small. Storms have
done much damage to crops in Georgia
and have practically Obliterated the week
so far as naval stores are concerned, there
having been no receipts, deliveries, or
quotations damage in the production re-
giOn was heavy. Savannah cotton fac
tors are feeling more cheerful, and banks
are making efforts 10 see the cotton crop
is moved as fast as offered. Trade is
quiet at Mobile, although prospects there
are declared better, and the money sup
ply is said TO equal the demand.
Country merchants are buying more
freely at Birmingham, which is true as
we'll at New Orleans, where cotton re-
ceipts are slow. Much interest is being
manifested in rice, demand and prices
for which have improved. Money is

THEY ARE PATRIOTS.

The history of the country shows that
only once in this century was there a ter
rible financial crisis. But the same his
tory shows hat in those days there was
some reason for depressed values, fol-
scarcity of money.
What the common people want to
know, and it would seem it is what they
have a right to know, is merely and sim
ply, why, if the senate and the congress
of the United States were convened in
extraordinary session on August : to re-
lieve the common people of a common
country, it should take weeks and weeks,
and words and words to bring about the
happy result anticipated in Mr.. CLEvE.
LANDS message and hoped for by the
masses.
Why is it, if the congress finally votes
upon a bill, and says by indirection that
that vote is its ultimatum-and the SEN
ate must concur in that vote if the vote
prevails-that that dignifed House of
Lords should impede the progress of this
country and should attempt the Impos-
sible, when the possible only is in sight.
All the people, and the people are the
ones who send their representatives,
strongly hope and fervently pray for the
day which must come, whenythe parties
who represent them shall make their
laws and not wait for an amendment
from a crowd of asses, who care not
whether laws are made or not, so long as
they receive their salaries.
The senatorial emporium is a snare and
a delusiOn.
