PoPULISTS MAKE GAINS.

Georgia is Concerned

ATLANTA, Ga, Oct. 4-Official returns
from 137 counties in Georgia show Demo
cratic majority Of about 10000. The
POpulists claim the country counties,
which will be the last to be heard from,
and returns from them will probably re-
duce the Democratic majority 10 10000
OF the 10 members of the house elected.
about sixty are Populists, and OF the
forty four members of the senate, there are
seven Populists and one Republican.
Several of the strongest Democratic
counties have been carried by the Popu-
lists and with but few exceptions, every
county in the state shows Populist gains.

Democratic majority of ATTY district IN the

The debate on the silver question grew

DID NOT FEAR THE GAR.
Intrepidity OF Rostopchin, the Governor O
Moscow.


Moscow.
There was time, in the early years
of our century, when the name of Ros-
topchin was in everybody's mouth: for
he was the governor of Moscow. who
proba bly, planned the burning of that
city, and so put serious check to Ma
poleon's career. Two incidents in his
life less tragic than this imputed deed
go far toward showing his indomitable
courage.
One day Emperor Paul returned from
parade greatly irritated because he
considered the cloth furnished for the
soldiers uniforms to be of very bad
quality. He ordered Rostopchin to
write at once, and desire that the cloth
should every year be procured from
England. The count replied that TO do
so would end the Russian cloth manu-
facture, and ruin all the Russian mer-
chants.
As the emperor insisted, he wrote the
the signature he added, in his own
hand:
do nothing of the kind: he is crazy"
Paul evidently observed that he was
writing something on his own account,
and Rostopchin quietly handed him the
letter. Paul was walking up and down
the room. He turned pale, still strobe
violently back and forth, and then sud-
denly threw the letter into the fire.
You are right, and ! thank you he
said, embracing Rostopchin. Would
to Heaven that all my servants were
like YOU"
When the emperor. in fit of anger,
resolved to send the empress to con-
vent. the count tried to bring him to
reason. Failing in this, Rostopchin
wrote to the emperor, with the utmost
firmness.
Heaven has granted you all that
was necessary for your own happiness
and the good of Others" he wrote, but
you create hell for yourself, and con-
denim yourself to dwell therein"
A few minutes after the letter had
been delivered he received sheet from
the emperor containing these words,
written by his own hand:
You are a terrible man, but you are
right. Let nothing more be said on
the subject. "-Youth's'C Companion.

PLANTERS CLAIM SUGAR BOUNTY
LAW Is STILL IN FORCE.
Do Not Ask That the Secretary be
Compelled TO Pay the Bounty But
Insist That He is Bound 10 Make
Irspection-T Case as Argued
Planters Are Determined.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 4-In the arguments
today upon the sugar bounty mandsmus
case. General Breckiuridge maintained
that the title to bounty is based on the in
spection by officers of The internal revenue
bureau and that the bounty was payable
for five years from July /. 1891. by law.
The company had been duly licensed and
bad given a bond for $50, 200, and was
entitled, during tie period referred 10, TO
a protection OF its interests ana rights
Counsel did not claim that the law grant
NJ the bounty could no; be repealed. but
they assert it had not been.
Independent OF the payment OF the
bounty. the company had the right To
show that II had earned II. That could
only be dole through an inspection OF Its
work, and when the government licensed
the company, IL agreed to give it a certifi-
cate OF the commissioners Of Internal
revenue tnat the company was entitled TO
the bounty. The company did not ask the
court TO compel the secretary of the treas
ury 10 pay 1t the bounty, but merely 10
cumpel an inspection The company was

force and the act made "a permanent

arguing in behalf of the secretary, assert
ed the court had not authority to msnda-
mus The secretary, as the action asked was
purely discretionary. In but three in
stances had wri,s of mandamus from the
court been issued. and these were in cases
where the duties to be performed were
ministerial, and not discretionary. The
contention of the Miles company was not
that the secretary should pay the bounty,
but that the inspection should b. made.
This, he asserted, was in order that the
company could have grounds on which 70
go before congress and ask an authority
for this year, and the courts could not be
invoked for this purpose

AN EXPLANATION,
bluff Made BY Hotel Keeper at st. Joe
Filled to Work.

Yesterday an attachment suit was made
upon Robert S. Turner, who has the pool
contract at the fair grounds, for an al
legged debt of 500 said to be due Robert
Haines. proprietor of the Pacific hotel at
st. Joe, Mo. The attachment was issued
from the court of B. l.. Keenan,. MIR.
Turner promptly gave bond in release of
the attachment. signed By {. q. Cohn, h.
p. Powell and Fred Bentley.
Mr.. Turner, who was highly recon-
mended to the managers of the State fair,
was seen by an EAGLE representative wit
reference to the suit, which had created
some emotion at the time. He said:
During the racing at St. Joe last May,
| was selling the pools for the races. In
the evening | came to the hotel and de-
posted with the clerk two packages OF
money to be deposited in the safe. Ia one
package there was So 100 in paper and
1858 in silver. In the morning l
called for the money aud was
given the Sc. 100 all right, but the short
sack containing the silver could not be
found. l told its proprietor, Haines. that
1 must have the money, and he said he
did not know what had become of
it, but he would loan me 500 for The day.
In the evening | again demanded the
money, but on failing to get it l had my
lawyer, Charles T. Strop, bring suit for
the remainder of the money, S253. The

continuance. He believed ] would make

meDt for the 500 today was that | would
settle rather than stop, but, rs you know,
promptly gave bond. l make this state

tacbment and the facts can be learned as
above by addressing letter to the ST.

ooLoRED LADS GREAT COURAGE.

Two or three hundred people, at the cor
ner of Main street and Douglas avenue, saw
something yesterday which gave the lie to
the charge of inferiority of the Negro, as a
race.
From down On South Main, a horse came
into tho crowded corner on full run. The
buggy was empty and the hcrse was going
like mad. Fifty or more boys and men
along the street jumped up and down be-
fore the craZed animal, trying to stop him,
but when he came close, got out OF the
road. just as he reached the corner and
where he would have undoubtedly hurt
some one. small colored lad made a
plunge for the animal. His aim was sure,
for he caught the bride and in two seconds
had the animal at Il standstili. A great
crowd gathered around him and extended
their congratulations. which the young
man modestly accepted. but with no great
appreciation apparently OF the courageous
thing he hal done
No one who saw the act but admired the
young man, who gave his name as Charles
4. Pearson.

TO STEAL THUNDER
DEMOCRATS OF OHIO HAVE ADOPT
ED A POPULISr WEAPON.
Complacent Declaration That the Tar
iff Question is no Longer an Issue
Having Been Settled-They Invite
Attention to the Money Question
All Things to All Men.

COLUMBUS Oct. 4.-The Democratic
state executive committee, of which A. w.
Thurman is president. today issued an ad-
dress to the voters of Ohio to the effect
that the tariff reform has won and that
the money question is ROW the supreme
issue before the country. The address is
understood to have been prepared by Thur
man. 1t says, among other things, that
free coinage of silver does not mean any
sudden initiation and sudden disturbance OF
values; that there is not a single obligation
Of the United States government other
than gold certificates that is not by the ex-
alicit terms of the contract, payable In
either gold or silver; and we de-
mand of the servants of the people that
thew administer the laws according to the
terms of that contract: that gold alone
does not afford sufficient basis upon
which our paper currency can safely rest.
The continued falling markets must ami
hilate profits, without which ali industry
must be paralyzed. If this policy Is not
changed we do not for one moment hesl-
tate to absolutely affirm that. no matter
whether we have high tariff or low tarlff,
or no tariff. there can be no permanent re-
yival in business affairs.
At the Democratic congressional head
committee was not engaged IN pro-
mitigating politics. II was standing
by the declarations of the ma.
tional Democracy On the subject OF
the money question. however, there
was not general alignment, individual
candidates standing on different platforms
in that regard. Each state and district
was al lowed to work out its own saliva
ton. At the Republican headquarters,
Captain Mckee expressed qualification on
the prospect of an increased prominence
in the money question in Ohio. He said
that east of the Mississippi river Republic
cans would welcome discussion of the
money question especially when the fight
was justified on the free coinage of silver,
but in the far west the committee had no
desire 10 bring the question TO the
front. At the Populist headquarters the
action of the Democratic committee was
hailed as an attempt of the Ohio Demo
Gratis to use Populist weapons TO fight the
political enemy. 1t showed, they said,
that the Democrats realized that the
money question was paramount, but their
tactics. they declared, would be unavall-
ing. as the Democrats of this congress and
administration would not stand lnspec-
tion if au attempt was made to demon
strate at the Democratic party favored
