Inaationist. Get Their auietus.

Undoubtedly the course of the demo-
cratic party as TO free silver has been
more honest and less tricky than that
of the republican, party. In the former
the sound money men have openly fought
the infationists, have for at least a
dozen years kept the national platforms
on a higher level than those of the re-
publicans, and, through their leader Mr..
Cleveland, have maintained the govern
ment firmly on the right course. The re-
publicans, on the other hand, have per-
sistently compromised with their infia-
tion faction, bedevled the finances of the
country with the Sherman law, and have
not to this day produced a candidate for
a presidential office or for the nomination
who dared TO take firm and definite
ground. But the fight in the democratic
party has been an arduous and desperate
one. 1t eliminated in Kentucky when
Hardin was nominated on a sound money
platform. He repudiated that, and has
been defeated by democratic votes. 1t
was the expiring effort of the infiationists
and banishes their influence from the
held of calculation for the presidential
contest.

II is pretty generally admitted now
that the cotton crop viii not reach 7.oo0.-
90 bales. AT the beginning OF the sea-
son many Of those VINO are interested IN
cotton expressed the opinion that while
the crop was short the yield would ex-
coed 10000 bales. At that time they
did not expect there would be long dry
spell OF weather that would aao-d special
opportunities for picking. and therefore
would assist materially in Increasing
the volume OF the crop. Had it not been
for ohese special advantages in picking.
the crop would have been a great deal
shorter than II is.
on Oct. IS. Latham. Alexander & Co.
Of New York. sent $3.50 letters 20 CORE
spondents. distributed throughout the
cotton belt. and received 2.632 replies.
These correspondents. in making their
estimates. compared the yield OF this
year with that Of last year. when the
crop amounted 10 9.s0l.ol bales.
In Alabama Is correspondents estimate
the decrease in the yield in that state al
80 per cent. PA in Arkansas at g per
cent. 81 in Florida al Is per cent. A in
Georgia at q per cent. l55 in Louisiana
al 81 per cent. 2G5 in Mississippi at Is
per cent, III in North Carolina at "a per
cent, % in South Carolina at Is per
cent. 100 in Tennessee At Is per cent. and
ga In Texas al IS per cent.
From these figures II viii be seen that
the least decrease in the estimated yield
a.
Next TO Florida the least decrease is fa
Georgia. The figures Of the correspOn-
dents make the crop for this year G435.0oO
bales. and it is probable that when the
crop is marketed 10 viii % found that
these figures are not far out Of the way.
In their letters to correspondents
Latham. Alexander & Co. also asked for
estimates of the crop. as gained from
expressions OF opinion in their respective
localities. OF $3.50 correspondents 2,41S
sent estimates. From no state was there
an estimate above GS20,o0O bales. and
from no one Of them an estimate below
G.500o9J bales. The average Of their esti-
mates is 6CsO,00 bales.
1t is hardly possible to get more relia-
bic information than the foregoing. re
specting the size Of the crop. If the crop
is not going TO be above $4,000 bales. it is
strange the price of cotton fingers
around cents pound 1t ought 10 be
much above that price. and doubtless it
VIII be before many weeks. The farmers
ought to be getting at least 9 cents a
pound for their cotton. and they will
get it If they are not too hasty in mar
keting what they stin have.

Death-E<neH of the silver Factions.
From the New York Herald.

The defeat of the democratic candidate
Tor governor in Kentucky on Tuesday
was most signal defeat. of the silver
party 10 which he belonged. Though ev-
erybody knew that if elected he could
do little or nothing to further free coin
age of silver legislation, the democrats
OF neutrality-suspicious. in a large majority
chose TO emphasize their disapproval
OF the silver craze by the overthrow of
its apologist. They could not have shown
IN any more pointed way that Kentucky
IS opposed TO all 50 cent in the dollar leg
islauon and win honor no candidate who
Is not against the silver heresy and known
to be an advocate of Mr.. Cleveland's
policy of sound money. He must be blind
indeed who does not see in Tuesdays
vote in various states that the silver
question is already a dead issue and will
play no part in the campaign of 1896.
Democracy has inflicted a deathblow on
the cause of unsound money, from which
it will never recover. That party seems
everywhere desperately sick of its bosses
and demagogues. Its wholesale decapi-
tation Of them in so many states on Tues
day will immensely Increase its prestige
throughout the country, and will be
worth to it more than victory in dozen
states

men Of that state are not entitled to pay

An Unsound Candidates. Fate.
From the New York World (Dem.).

The state Of Kentucky has been singu-
larry free from the influence Of the boss
IN politics, and the elections of that state
represent the expression Of the popular
Will. There is no other reason for Ken
lucky going republican this year for the
nrst time in its history except for the
mistake made by the leaders in attempt
ing to meet the difficulty OF the silver
question by nominating an unsound can
didate on a sound platform. The result
confirms the opinion already expressed
by the World that THE American people
do not like straddlng or double-dealing
upon an issue involving the credit OF the
nation and the stability of the currency"

President Gordnn,s Renort.

The annual report OF President Gordon
Of the cotton exchange. a fun synopsis of
which was published in the Morning
News yesterday. IS a very interesting pa
per, and the facts and views contained
therein are admirably stated. President
Gordon is fully acquainted with the com
mercial interests and needs of Savannah,
and is earnest and untiring in his efforts
TO promote the citys prosperity He is
one Of the young and progressive business
men upon whom the city~is largely de-
pendant for the development Of her ad-
vantages and the advancement Of her
varied interests.
The tone Of President Gordon's report
is hopeful and encouraging. The facts
which it presents show that Savannah is
holding her business with a firm grip
and is steadily increasing it. While appar-
emily there was falling off in the vol
ume Of her cotton receipts last year there
was. as a matter Of fact. an increase in
them. She maintains her position among
the cotton ports and virtually has a mon
opoly Of the handling Of long staple cot
ton.
President Gordon points out some things
the government can do to help Savannah
one Of them is TO improve the facilities at
the sapelo quarantine for fumigating yes
sells destined for this port, and another Is
the establishing Of a sub-treasury here. He
gives excellent reasons why both Of these
things should be done.
President Gordon docs not regard the
low price Of cotton last year as having
been a misfortune. 1t taught the farmers
how to be economical and made them see
the advantages Of raising food crops. Be
cause Of their experience last year they
are exceptionally prosperous this year.
They raised their cotton cheaply and are
getting a much better price for it than
they epected.
One tendency Of President Gordon's re-
port is to lead business men to take n
deeper interest IN the citys welfare. In
order TO have prosperity the people must
pull together. They must work in har-
mony for savannah's welfare. Their pride
in the citys reputation for hospitality Is
commendable, but prosperity is necessary
to a liberal hospitality. They must encour-
age business and Industries, in fact every
material interest II they do this they viii
see Savannah thrive and grow.

If you ask any Washin

If you ask any Washington photo
grapher what is the hardest thing to get
a picture of about Washington, he VIII,
without hesitation, tell you II IS the wash
ingtOn monument. There is no fence
around the shaft. to be sure, but the fact
that blue sky always photographs white
handicaps the ambitious amateur badly.
The marble shaft photographs the same
color, and the result is that when he &C.
velops his plate ne gets a beautiful white
monument, on a beautiful white back
ground, and the sum total nothing. 1t is
a rather curious thing that the finest neg
alive of the monument was destroyed
before half a dozen prints had been made
of it. and its equal has never been seen
since, says the Post. 1t was the work of
Charles Cudlip, Washington photograph
er, now dead, and one of the prints or
it in existence Is now on exhibition in u
window down on the avenue, though not
every one knows it's history: The artist
who wants to catch the shaft by camera
has to choose a time when il has a good
light on one side of 1T and bank of thuH-
derclouds for background; This is nor
a very common occurrence, but one after
noon when it looked as though such a
combination was likely to come about,
Mr. Cudlip packed up big camera and
hurried down to the monument. The rain
got there ahead of him, and he was forced
to seek cover until thes torn was over.
When it had passed, however, the sun,
which was already low down came out
bright and strong, while all of the south
east there was a dense bank of black
clouds almost to the zenith. He hurried
and got an excellent exposure of IS by
"A plate 1t developed without flaw, and
made a magnificent picture of the shaft,
showing even the recent rain streaks on
the sides, with the fish ponds and the
island in their midst for a foreground
OF course, he was delighted, and after,
making three prints for specimens, stored
the plate with lot of others in a neigh
boring. wareroom. He sent the prints
around to various firms, from whom he
thought he might get orders, and soon re-
ceived an order for 500 from a railway
company, which wanted them for ex-
cursion advertisements and other orders
from Photographic supply firms, which
wanted them as advertisements for mega
tives and silver paper. When he went
to look for the plate, however, he found
that the storeroom where 1t had been kept
had leak in the roof and the rubber
blanket, with which the big plate ha5
been covered, had a number of small holes
in it. The result was that the water had
dripped through on the gelatin side Of
the negative, and it had been eaten 70
pieces with mold. Mr. Cudlip tried MANI
times to duplicate the picture, but never
succeeded.

Reports of the potato crop of the cur

that has ever been produced in this coun-
try. The American Agriculturalist says
it will amount to 2S2, 100000 bushels,
against 1S5O0O,OOO bushels last year. The
Pacific coast is the only region where the
crop shows a falling off. while New York

The fight in the South Carolina conven-
ton for the purpose of securing for the
state the right of change OF venue in
civil and criminal cases appears to be a
movement against the rights of the citi-
zens Of certain sections Of the state, who
are opposed to the dispensary law. How
ever outrageous the right OF change of
venue on the part Of the state might be
made, under present circumstances, it
would open the way to the abrogation Of
the despotic injunction system that is
now resorted TO in order to enforce the
dispensary law. Indeed, it is probable
that Senator TiIlman and his followers
have become alarmed at the enormity of
their injunction system, and are seeking
a way to get rid of it, and at the same
time keep the people of Charleston and
the other cities wholly in their power.
Under the injunction system a dispen-
sary constable makes an affidavit to the
effect that he has reason to believe a
certain party has whisky in his posses
sion for unlawful purposes. The circuit
judge issues an injunction against the
person named in the AFFIDAVIT. The con-
stable makes another affidavit to the eff
feet that the injunction is being disre-
garded and the person stnl has whisky in
his possession for unlawful purposes. The
Judge orders the person arrested, and
without trial by jury he is sentenced to
the penitentiary. The iniquity Of the sys-
TEN is so glaring that it does not need
to be commented on. If the state is
given the right of change Of venue,
trial by jury will probably be granted
persons suspected of violating the dis
pensary laws, but such persons viii be
dragged away from their homes to coun-
ties where the Tillmanites have their
strongest majorities, and where a con-
viction would be foregone conclusion.
