THE GUBERNAToRIAL CONTEST
Since it has been published that Con-
gresham Jones, of the first district,
NAV be s candidate for Governor in
1897, the friends of Major ]. Hoge Ty-
Ter have lost no time in making it
known that he is already in the race.
1t can be stated upon excellent author
ity that Tyler will be candidate; in
fact, he has been in the race ever since
the prize escaped him last year. Hon.
J. Taylor Ellyson, also, is looked upon
as probable candidate, SO we may e1-
pect very interesting contest. Tyler
has the advantage of having been q
candidate before two conventions, and
it is an old saying that man must run
for the democratic nomination several
years before he can get it. That GER
tainly was true in the cases of OFFER
rail-, Mckinney and Lee. IF the rule
holds good now Tyler may win.

THE MARVELLOUS KoLA NUT.-The State
Department has been calling upon United
States consuls in Africa for specific informa-
ton respecting the marvellous kola nut,
which, by its peculiar action upon the mus
cular system, enables the African negroes to
make long journeys, bearing enormous loads,
under tropical suns and across difficult coun-
try without food. Cases authenticity reported
prove that an old negro may carry a 49,
pound bag Of coffee four leagues by chewing
a single nut slowly. Robert ?. POrley, United
States consul at Sierra Leone, Africa, has
sent in the first report on this subject, treat
ing of the means of growing and preparing
the nnts he says that the natives eat the
nuts in the early morning as stay against
tbs want of ordinary food while travelling,
and in Che evening TO induce sleep Alto
gether they consider that general bench. 70
the human system is derived from the con-
sumption of the kola, say a single mt morn
ing and evening.

SOME OF the Northern newspapers
now speak of the English premier OF
Cape Colony, as the leading negro
killer" II the Southern people object
ed to anything their Northern haters
have said or do say of them, they would
be gratifed at this, as it deposes them
from the eminence to which the same
newspapers had previously elevated
them. But they don't; they have only
smiles for those who hate them.

MIR. CLEVELAND a CANDIDATE


MIR. CLEVELAND A CANDIDATE.-A
letter from New York says; News
has reached this city within the past
day or so from Washington that since the !e
election President Cleveland has made 1t
known to his friends that he is not to be con,
sidered out of the race for the presidential
nomination of 1896 because of the rebuke
administered to his patty at the polls. A &C,
cording to this authority the President still
believes that the tariff will again be the issue
in 1896, and as the representative q tlsE
issue hopes for his party's nom!naLioi.
for the fourth time. The news did mol
cause much surprise here. 1t has been known
for some time that Mr.. Cleveland had an eye
on the nomisation, and it was not thought,
that any trivial matter like the utter rout OF
his party would cause him to consider him
self out of the contest

THE New York Press says "there is
no man the democrats dread more than
Senator Chandler" The Press was
never more mistaken in all its life.
There is no republican the democrats
would rather have in the Senate than
Mr.. Chandler. His pronounced enmi-
ty does them good; they relish and en-
joy it, and hope it may grow. And
then, too, it is entirely innoxious.

free. No fair minded man. and especial

upon New England products, made by
burning that coal; aud it won't be either.

Four Big Blunders.

The Democrats have been in power
eleven months. In that time they have
committed these offenses against the
nation:
First-The failure to execute the
the Chinese law.
Second-The failure to buy silver
during several months under the July
law.
Third-Usurpatlon of the powers of
congress in thu Hawaiian matter.
Fourth Proposal to sell bonds and
use the proceedsto pay ordinary ex-
psnditures of the government.
Aside from this, Secretary Carlisle
offered to redeem the silver treasury
notes in silver, which would have had
the effect Of Withdrawing several
hundred millions of silver currency
from circulation OF reducing its pur-
chasing power in day, and now he IL
contending that he has power to sell
bonds to provide foI the ordinary
expenses of the government at biz
discretion.

Democratic Wheat.

Wheat In Chicago has reached the go
cent notch aud the supply Of that
cereal held over by Dickinson county
farmers for higher prices is worth
thousands Of dollars less than it was a
year ago. This seems to be worth not
ing when 1t is remembered that in the
presidential campaign the farmers were
advised by Democratic and Populist
Kansas orators TO hold their wheat for
81 25. The dollar wheat of the Harri.
son administration was alleged by these
orators to be- burning disgrace, and h
great many farmers were persuaded to
look at 1t from the same point of view.
They are now looking for the orators
and quite a number of these prophetic
souls have been been spotted for future
reference. Among them is that large
aud well,fed Democrat, q. Cleveland.
The present. indications are not in
favor Of any immediate improvement.
1t will be more than three years before
We can have Republican wheat and by
that time our farmer friends are going
to become very very weary of the
Democratic variety.
