SPEAKING of the Democratic
slump down in Georgia the
atlanta Constitution says;
The result is not one on
which tie Democrats can plume
themselves. The populists have
made surprising gains, and there
has been serious slump in the
Democratic majority as compar-
ed with that of 1892. We had
almost said that the slump was a
surprising one, but no one who
has iLtelligently watched the
progress of the campaign in this
State can be surprised at the
falling off in the Democratic
majo;ty. In the very nature of
things it was inevitable ; and if
the same sinister elements that
produced confusion in the Demo
cratic ranks in this campaign
shall retain their potency until
the next one, the Democrats will
have grounds for congratulation
if they come out of it with any
majority at all.

There is no medicine so often needed
in every home and so admirably adapt

tended, as Chamberlain's Pain Balm.
Hardly week passes but some member
of the family has need of it. A tooth
ache or headache may be cured by it.

quilted. The severe pain of a burn or
scald promptly relieved and the sore
healed in much less time than when
medicine has to be sent for. A sprain
may be promptly treated before infiam-
nation sets in, which insures cures
in about one-third of the time other
wise required. Cuts and bruises should
receive immediate treatment before the
parts become swollen, which can only
be done when Pain Balm is kept at
hand. A sore throat may be cured be-
fore 1t becomes serious. A troublesome
corn may be removed by applying il

THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY
BADLY DAMAGED.
What a Leading Democrat
Thinks of the Situation.

Thinks of the Situation.
The special correspondent of
the able Democratic journal, the
atlanta Constitution in Washing
ton notes says
Il met Governor Campbell.
thetalented Democratic politician
of Ohio, a short while ago. He
is not at all hopeful about the
Democratic prospects in the
west, THE party is all scatter
ed. " he said. land / don't like
the outlook"
Another Democrat, equally as
prominent, who has never been
a prominent office holder, but a
hard worker, was even more in
despair than Governor Campbell.
Il don't want my name used. "
he said, "but / tell you / have
never seen such uphill work in
my life. When l urge my party
friends to insist on old.time
Democratic doctrine on silver
coinage, am met by such men
as Harter and the like, who
clamor at once about fat money
and such nonsense. They open
ly proclaim they will vote with
the Republicans before they will
swallow such doctrine, and with
him he has quite a large number
of Democratic appointees. When
l talk tariff reform, / am CON
fronted with the wild theories of
Tom johnson and Frank Hurd.
The truth is, we are all split up.
and there seems to be no force
trying to pull us together.
SAME THING DOWN HERE.
Yes" said the Southern
Democrat who heard this, iii is
the same way in the South.
Federal Office holders who are
Democrats are fighting benson
harder than they are fighting
Republicans in Alabama, and in
South Carolina the same clan is
more energetic against Tillman
than it has ever been against me
the Republicans.
"Alloyer the South the pap.
suckers are rampant to read
every body out of the party that
favors any coming of silver, and
that don't fall down and worship
the "old man" whenever and
wherever his name is mentioned.
In the meantime, the "old man"
is quietly enjoying himself at
Buzzard Bay, with some of the
secretaries. cutting bait. The
only thing that seems 10 at all
worry the "old man" is when the
weather bureau sends a report
from Washington to look out for
bad weather, The next day the
country is notified that the presi-
dent did not fish today on ac-
count of the fear of bad weather.
This seems TO be of much more
Importance than the condition of
the country, the low price of
cotton, the number of unemploy.
ed men and the success of the
Democratic party"
These men make a heavy ar.
raignment, and it is not at all
surprising that our prospects are
not the best in the world, and
that we are in the condition of a
man about to take a plunge in
the dark

New York Free Traders for Wilson


The report that a large fund is
to be raised by the free traders
of this city for use in securing
the reelection of Chairman Viii.
son from West Virginia is not
at all surprising. Mr.. Wilson is
free trader and friend of free
traders. He has served them in
season and out of season and has
done more than any other man
in Congress to destroy American
industries in the interest of i'm
porters of foreign goods. Desert
ed factories by hundreds and
idle workmen by thousands In
every part of the country testify
to his success in paralyzing ma
tive interests for the benefit of
foreign manufacturers and their
importing agents in the United
States. Wilson needs help bad.
ly in his desperate fight for re.
election, and every dollar given
will serve as a cheer for his
baleful and unpatriotic attacks
upon American industries in the
interest of their foreign competi.

Southern Republicans.

A New Orleans democratic
paper has just interviewed the
sugar planters of Louisiana to
ascertain how many Of them
have actually gone over to the
Republican party on the tariff
issue. The result is somewhat
startling to the Democratic lead
ers of that State.
1t is evident that the Demo.
Gratis have underestimated the
strength of the recent revolt.
They are forced now, however,
to admit that "a per cent. of the
Democratic planters of Louisiana
are in favor of the new Republi-
can movement. % per cent. OPP
posed to it, and 90 per cent. in a
dangerous condition of uncer-
tainty. 1t is said, on good au-
thority, that most of those who
are at present non committal are
at heart in sympathy with the
movement, but have not yet the
courage of .heir convictions.
There are, no doubt, many of
them fully convinced that their
best interests can only be con-
served by casting their lot with
the Republicans. But so tenaci-
GUS are the preiudices and tradi-
tions of Southern democracy that
it is extremely difficult to break
their party trammels and public
ly announce themselves as Re-
publicans. 1t is significant,
however, that all of the most
prominent and influential plant
ers have taken the decisive step
and others are upon the eve of
following their example. The
present indications point TO the
election of three Republican
Congressman from the sugar dis
tricts.
This seems to be the dawning
of new era in the South. There
has always been a strong Re-
publican sentiment in that sec.
ton, but the Republican vote has
been SO habitual!y suppressed
that but little or no effort has
been made toward efficient Re-
publican organization.

The acceptance of the Senate Cor.

acceptance and the hosting of tie
piratical flag of the Senatorial conspira.

The death of the late Count of Paris
gives the January "Harper's" an OPP
portunity to review 1.-The fortunes of
the Bourbons,'' which it does in its lead
ing article for the month. A fine por-
trait of the late claimant to the French
throne, drawn and engraved by Florian,
is given as a frontispiece to the Mum
Der. This number contains the first of
three articles by Julian Ralph, descrip-
tive of the aspects and resources of the
new South. The subject of the first
paper is charleston and the Carolinas,'
and abundant illustrations accompan5i

been industriously circulated that in

afternoon in the Court of General Ses-
sions during the trial of a filthy case
of indecent assault made by Felix Nor
ritz of No. 267 Bergen avenue on Rebecca
Mendez, aged fourteen years.
The case has occupied two days and in
it's course the Senator attacked one of
the witnesses for the people.

witness, whose answers did not please
the lawyer.

line of conducting the case continues !

Court Court will not permit such re-
marks, and they must stop or the Court
will lay its heavy hand on counsel, who
has had experience and standing at the
bar to know better.

and mutttered apologetically, that the
witness had a happy faculty of jabber-

Court, when counsel sets them the ex-

NAPOLEON N WHIST.

The great Napoleon was not great at
the whist table. and a characteristic
story is told of him at St. Helena. AT
a private party of whis he took out
four Napoleons to use as markers, and
one of the young ladies took UP one Of
the coins and asked him what it was.
The polite hero snatched it rather rough
ly from her, pointing to the impress
sion, exclaimed, "C'est moi" The an
noyance by this incident rufled him
so much that he made a misdeal. The
party begged him to try again. and he
did SO with the same result. His coun-
tenance then displayed the RACES of con-
vulsive fury. and his anger was not ap-
peased until the house had been searched
for old cards, which could be more cas-
lily dealt.
Meantime, the unhappy Count Las
Casas, his only attendant, was ordered
to sit down at a spare table, to play the
cards alone until they should run
smoothly. Louis Philippe showed Heal
regard for the coin that bore his name.
He dropped q louis on the carpet while
playing whist, and arrested the pro-
cress of the game to look for 1t, where
