The Canton times. (Canton, Miss.) 1893-1906, 1894-11-30

After the recent election both the
Democratic and Republican press were
singing out that the Populites had lost
ground everywhere, and was on the
verge of final disintegration and col
lapse, but the official count shows that
such was not the case. They gained
600, 900 over their vote in '92. They
made large gains in the South, West
and North west. In Texas they would
have carried the state had not the Re-
publicans voted with the Democrats.
Unless some great change occurs in
public sentiment between now and the
next presidential election, tire Popu-
lites will put on bold front in 1896 If
the free coinage men succeed in organ
izing, of which there is a strong proba-
bility, the move will unquestioua bly,
attract the Populites, which will result
in a very interesting triangular fight
in the coming presidential campaign.

defies contradiction.

The Democratic party believes in
holding the Republicans to strict ac-
conntability for all their shortcomings.
1t would be well for the Democracy to
camp on it's own trail, weed out its
corrupt, incompetent leaders, and tell
the people exactly where it stands.
1T wants less stomach and more back
bone" It's principles of old, hard
money, free trade and sailors rights,
are good enough for the great herd of
toiling humanity, if it would stand
squareiy by them, ana put men in
power like Cleveland, who dares to do
right, no matter how the hungry
bowling pack snap at their heels.
After all the people are responsible for
all the trouble arising from legislative
abuses, or incompetency They are
too easily fooled by fools. "No country
is free as long as its people are igno-

Hold Your Cotton.

The TIMES has counseled the hold
ing of cotton, and is still confirmed
more strongly in the wisdom of such
advice. The cotton statement to the
10th of the month shows:
Cotton brought into sight. =. $685.. 581 bales
Against last year .3,061, 1872 6
The Canton times. (Canton, Miss.) 1893-1906, 1894-11-30

Increase ......... :. :. 875449
This has gone into consumption and
invisible supply. The visible supply
is only $4,000 bales in excess of last
year. There has been an almost mad
rush of cotton to market, it is nearly
all gone from the producers. being
gathered early and rapidly. Present
indications point to about $1,000
bales. Suppose it is $3.50, 900, the price
of cotton is lower by $500 per bale
than it ought to be. The
largest crop ever raised was in 1890,
9,2Do,OO bales. Carefully prepar ed
and reliable statistics place the acre
age of the year.at 100000 less than in
1890. A million bales coaid not be
raised on this amount of acres, so the
estimate of 100000 is too high. When
this crop was planted, middling cotton
in New York was worth eight cents,
aud by January or February of next
year it may probably reach the same
figure in the same market Insurance
and storage at thirty cents per bale for
the first month and fifteen cents for
succeeding ones is very small expense
compared with $500 per bale increase
in price.

THE BONA FIDE TOM.

Many, who attended the entertainment
given by Blind Tom last Friday evening,
were skeptical as to it's being the original
Tom. They were paid for their attendance,
however, by the novel sensation of a sur
prise. Tom is undoubtedly musical won
der, and though his selections are nothing
more than close mimicry, even that implies
quality something beyond the mere
mechanical. 1t is to be regretted that a
performance of so much artistry and charm
should have been greeted by such a small
audience. This, too, is poor encouragement
for Mr.. Howell to bring such high.class en-
tertaipers to our city.
As musical prodigy, Tom is the first and
only one of his kind, and no little space has
been devoted to him by mental philosophers
AS a musician, so far as skill in the art or
knowledge of the science is concerned, he
holds no place. He might be considered a
human phonograph; mere machine, were
it not for the peculiar ability displayed in
his own compositions. He plays with the
abandon, and seems to take about as much
interest in bis performances, one would ex-
pect from an automaton. His almost per
feet reproduction of the selection played by
Prof. Clifford Nash, was. of ~the same order
as his naming correctly the several notes
struck simultaneously on the piano. His
feat of playing two selections on the piano
and at the same time singing a third, Dor.
ders on the miraculous, and it is doubtful if
it can be duplicated. AL in all, he is q

The Dance.

A very enjoyable little dance was given at
the opera house last Saturday evening.
Messrs. Rosebroolz and Pearse have deci ded
to unite their fcrces-form trust, so to
speak, and will conduct the hops each Sat-
urday evening. A teacher will be provided
for all who wish to learn dancing, and
instruction will be given in all the latest
dances The orchestra wish to correct the
statement that some were sighted by not
being invited. AS no invitations were sent
out land none will be) it is Of course impos.
sible to slight anyone. Probably some par.
ties noticed the advertising cards mailed
about town and thought they were invita-
tions However it occurred, the statement
ia now made that the dances and school are
both open to all respectable pa6plt and all
such are invited to meet at the opera house
next Saturday evening. 1t is hoped this
explanation will put all in good humor
again, and that large house will greet
Prof. Rosebrook on Saturday evening, as he
will do some fancy cornet work with orches
ira accompaniment.

O65. .345, as against So, 422 sos for last year.
Throughout the roll generally there is less of

4S2. This year there are 285, 727 acres,

more acres of land assessed this year than

IT WASN'T LOADED.

Marion Farmer, a young man living near
the Excelsior prune farm, while out hunting
very serious accident. 1t was the same old
story: 1t wasn't loaded, or at least, he
didn't think it would go off In going
down a steep trail to get drink from a
small stream he carefully drew his Winches-
ter along by the muzzle after him. The
ball entered the left fore arm just below
the elbow and ranging downward, dropped
between the bones and came out about eight
inches below. The arm was not broken,
bnt huge pieces of both bones were carried
away. DR.. Cam, of Monroe, is attending
him and has hopes the young man will re-
gain the use of his arm.

THIS. THAT AND THE OTHER
A Few Simple Things You
Mayn't Have Been Told.

Sheriff Osburn will soon again attempt the
sale of the o. P. r. R., and delusive dreams
of spending money sweeteus life for count
less creditors.
Ten young ladies of Corvallis have organ.
lied something, and desire name l be
lieve they spin yarns and discuss the latest
in literature. Bob johnson suggests "The
Maids of the MIST" as being seasonable, but
the name has the fatal objection of being
mistaken for 'sThe Maids of the Missed, "
and as the ladies are all young and attrac-
tive, with admirers galore, the parody would
be rank libel. "The Blue Stockings was
propounded as being appropriate for liter.
ary club, but the members do not appear in
football costume, and considered the name
slightly immodest.
.The Bostonians." the contribution of
college professor, was rejected on the ground
that the travelling public would confound the
society with the comic opera company, and
they do not wish to be mistaken for chorus
thinking caps and help the girls out, else
splendid organization might die for want of
a name.
A good-looking young business man of
Corvallis, who has not been married more
than-well say year, is to be tried by the
Business Mems Association for uncommer-
cial generosity. He was recently urging
upon all of his friends the acceptance of gen
erous quantities of apples, red and rosy, to
the detriment of the grocery trade. He will
plead self defense. According to his story,
lady friend from the country drove up to
his place of business, and lett her regards in
the shape of several bushels of the fruit.
Being in doubt as to how kindly his bride
would take to his acceptance of such tributes
Of friendship, he unloaded them his
friends. The plea is well calculated to OBJ
tain the leniency of the association.
