The Augusta Chronicles report of SEN

Wednesday says: He declared in favor
of the free coinage of gold and
silver at the ratio of 16 to

we were in 1873. and does not be-
lieve we should wait on Europe" That is
a most preposterous proposition; sixteen
of gold to one of silver! But, of course.

The New York Sun credits Georgia
with large populist gains. and insists that
the first disastrous move which brought
about this result was made when the in
come tax feature was appended to the
tariff bill. The income tax may not be
just the thing, but the alacrity with
which the Sun attributes to it every dis
aster whether real or imagined, may lead
it to suggest the income tax as cause
for the result in the Chino-Japanese war.

The official returns OF the state election
show that the populists have not made
gains in their voting strength. The in
creased vote for their ticket came from
the colored republicans, who are using the
populist party as a cats paw. The democ-
racy was able to knock the combination
out without exerting it's fun strength. and
that was all necessary to be done.

Its Importance Disappearing.

The bolt of the sugar planters of Louis
lana is rapidly shrinking in Importance
The boilers do not represent the democ-
racy of the state. Indeed, in their bolt
they do not represent themselves as a
whole, but represent only a little more
than half of the number of planters reck-
oned as individuals.
That the democracy of the state does
not sympathize with the demand of the
planters for government pap is made plain
in these resolutions. adopted by a dem
ocratic mass meeting at Natchitoches, in
the sugar district: I'VE wish the world to
know that the said planters do not speak
for the people of the entire state, but rep
resent only a few hundred bounty-fed and
bounty-hungry sugar planters, who have
not the manhood to rely for their support
on their own efforts and that the masses
of the people of Louisiana will remain true
to the Democratic party because they are
democrats on principle, and not for plum
der" That is very plain talk, and is
worthy of democrats.
That the boiling planters do not repre-
sent lne Douy OF planters as a whole is
shown by poll of planters taken by the
New Orleans Picayune in order to ascer-
tain how many Of them had gone over to
the Republican party on the tariff issue
The Picayune's returns show that "a per

are most ardent in the republican move

bounty paying is to whet the greed for
special favors and to stifie the finer SEN
sibilities that revolt at taking something

INCREASE IN TENANT FARMING.
Figures Which Show the Growing Power
 Of the Mississippi Valley.

The percentage of farm-hiring fami-if lies in Iowa in 1900 was s957. The per centage of hired farms in Illinois in 1880 was 31.Ss; the figures for 1890 are not yet published. but the growth of tenancy in other states indicates that the percentage will not be less than 4O Between 1880 and 1890 Wisconsin gained 6,750 owning cultivators and 7,277 tenant cultivators; Iowa gained only 3,521 owning cultivators and 16,- 569 tenant cultivators. The percent age of tenancy in Minnesota increased from 9.15 to 15.25. In Nebraska the percentage of tenancy was is.0 02 in 1880. The figures for 1900 are not out, but the area cultivated by tenants of the state increased from 953, ,63s acres in 1884 to l, ,497, ,470 in 1890, and A. F. BeRt- ley's monograph on Harrison, Neb., taking that as typical western farm community, showed that of 135 owners of the land in that township, ffty-one had never been resident in the town, and ten had lived there and moved away; 12,960 acres in that town were cultivated by owners and 9,360 by ten- ants. Between 1880 and 1884 the num- Der of Michigan farms cultivated by owners diminished seventy-four and the number of rented farms increased S,454. What do these facts indicateq According to the New York Commer- cial Bulletin they indicate that where as twenty or thirty years ago the eul- tivators of the soil had all the prodg ucts, considerable and growing frae- tion of the farmers of the west, as we'll as of New England, New Jersey and the south, now, with the prices of produce lower than they used to be, divide the products with the owners of the land

salary of four hundred dollars could, if he had a country passionate, live com fortably, keep a horse, send his nine or ten children to school and manage to lay by penny for rainy day. There are plenty of the "old stagers' left among the Methodist preachers who went through those times, and who are now living frugally on the amount which they laid by. Salaries among the Methodists have advanced some what, but they are still extremely low. The country parsons look upon their city brethren as rolling in wealth and luxury, yet not single Methodist pas: tor even in New York city receives as high salary as five thousand dollars a year. This seems incredible, but. ac- eording to the New York Tribune, it is fact, though it must be remembered that parsonage is almost always pro- vided end is furnished in some way or other, comfortable or uncomfortable.

Somebody got up and said that the applicant owed money, and so ought not to be allowed to come in. Then a committee found. out that the man had only three hun1 dred dollars year salary; that cut of this sum he had to support himself and keep horse, and on Sundays had to ride thirty or forty miles to preach They decided to let him in.

They flock to the parsonage in body some night, bring enough sand- wiches and cakes and pies and cider to enjoy themselves thoroughly, turn the house upside down, leave a few clothes, provisions and, perhaps little money, and then go home with the impression that they have provided a winters supply of food for the dominie's fam fly, and have done altogether the neat thing.

With Moral for Young Men of tho Un-
 chivalric Sort.
 On State street, Chicago, n few days ago, Samuel W. Allerton, the rich packer, lost an eight thousand five hun dred-dollar diamond. He hunted high apd low, gnashed his teeth and dashed his words with some very tall dashna- ton.
 The next day Miss Celine Seeleman was standing on State street corner waiting for car. Shc had been on a shopping tour and her arms were filled with bundles. One of the packages fell out of Miss Seelema1's hands and rolled Into the gutter.
 A young man was also waiting for 8 ear on the same corner, but he did not offer to pick up the package. Miss Seeleman saw the ear coming and, stopping, made grabs for the parcel. which again slipped from her hands and rolled still further along. The young lady made another grab, and as she did so caught sight of diamond in the gutter. The young man looked at the diamond till his eyes bulged, and when he had swung himself on the car he very likely began to debate within himself the question: 'spoes politeness pay?"
 Miss Seeleman looked over the lost andfound lads" in the newspapers and, sending for MT. Allerton, restored his gem.
 Later in the day messenger boy handed Miss Seeleman an envelope in which ysas very sweet little spring bonnet check for two hundred dollars.

The Terrible Experience ct q Woman on
 an Island in the Pacific.

an Island in the Pacific.
 There is woman in San Francisco who recently lost a nights sleep through reading how citizens of Mon terey captured an octopus there. The incident recalled an experience she had while in the South Pacific years ago, and for that night she never closed her, eyes in sleep. Her husband was super intendent of 8 gang of laborers who were working guano beds, and his wife and child were with him. One day the woman was walking along the beach when she saw in a pool a particularly beautiful shell. Barring her arm she reached down into the water for the prize when suddenly there was splash and two snake-like objects entwined themselves around the limb submerged h the water. It was devil-fsh, and in moment the pressure on her arn was such as to cause her terrible pain. Struggle as she might she was unable to release herself, and finding that all her efforts in that direction were in vain, she told her little boy to run home for help The child sped away, but by this time the mother began to feel her strength failing. She also realized with horror that the tide was rapidly rising. Wave after wave dashed over her body, which had by this time been seized by all the arms Of the octopus. Fortunately the mon- bter was small one; otherwise it would undoubtedly have dragged her into the water to death. The water rose higher and higher, and it was only. with the greatest difficulty that she managed to breathe. Finally wave bigger than any of the others rolled over her, and her desperate efforts to regain her breath left her without any strength. Her senses gave way just as she heard shout and a rush of feet. The next moment half dozen men had rushed into the water and seized her unconscious form. The woman was dragged ashore, the octopus still clinging to her arms and neck, and in few minutes regained consciousness. The octopus, which was promptly killed, was one of the smaller kinds, measuring only seven feet from the body to the end of the longest arm.
