he general disappointment here, not only because
the prospect of another international contest
next year has been so quickly blghted, but also
because British perversity seems to have spread.
The only reason given by Mr. Rose is that his
challenge might be construed las an expression
OF opinion on the result Of the last race Even
if it should be so regarded, would it he such a
terrible thing to express an opinion on the iasco

yachtsman with higher power OF resistance
will come forward to take the chance which he
rather nglorionsly abandons.

officials is a unit on this point. AT the Tombs

persons arraigned for intoxcation on Monday

There Is really 40 reason TO be surprised at
he action OF the South Carolina Constitutional
Convention in refusing to incorporate In the
Constitution clause declaring that the right
OF citizens to vote should not be denied or
abridged on account Of race, color or previous
condition OF servitude. The chief purpose Of
the convention Is to devise some more safe and
certain method than now exists OF effecting
precisely this denial and abrdgment. II would
be little too much like a farce for even the
South Carolina convention to go through the
empty form Of adopting such clause under
the circumstances. II did all that could be ex-
pected Of 1t in refusing-by a majority Of one
vote-to strike out clause declaring that all
elections should be free and open"

There Is a Feeling of Uncertainty About
the Future-Business Failures.

New YORK, Oct. 12-R. G.. Dun &
Co.'s weekly review of trade says:
The price barometer gives indications
that are not entirely favorable. Cot
ton goods go up with increased evil
dence that the crop of cotton is short.
Prices of other manufactured products,
of wool, hides and leather all show
some decline, general abatement in
new orders being the principal cause.
With an immense volume of business
not much exceeded in the largest
month of exceptional year, 1892, and
with evidence that in several branches
the volume has surpassed that of any
previous year, there is growing un-
certainty about the near future of in
dustries. Money markets are neither
strained or threatening, foreign ex-
change no longer raising apprehension,
all fears about the great Northern
crops are passed. There have been
few advances in wages of labor within
the past month, and only few works
have been closed by strikes for an ad-
vance.
Failures for the week have included
two banks and several concerns of
some size and have been 26S in the
United States, against 231 last year,
and 50 in Canada, against 43 last year.

Topeka, Kan, Sept 13.-"If another
issue of bonds is made without the au-
thority of congress 1 shall advise their

These are the words of Unites States
Senator PETER, used to-day in speaking
about the probability of another bond
issue. Senator PETER has kept his eye
on the figures which tell of the condi-
tlon OF the gold reserve. None have
watched it sliding down below the
lOO,OOO,000 mark more anxiously than
ne. 1t was he who objected very en-

and l have not changed my position
since then. l still think the govern
ment has no authority to issue bonds
WITHOUT the concurrence of congress"
SAID he. Il am satisfied that there will
be another bond issue before Oct. 1, be-
cause the syndicate has been given the
privilege OF taking all the bonds issued
before then. There is only one thing
which may prevent a bond issue, and
tnat Is the fear that it will weaken the
democratic strength. They are max

NUMBER %.
ADEMocRATIc PAPERS OPINION
OF the Gubernatorial Candidates In
Kentucky.

The following editorial appeared In
the Daily Evening Post, of Louisville,
KY, "a strong Democratic paper) a few
days ago.
Mr.. Hardin OemocraO is trying to
steal the thunder of Mr.. Thomas s. Pet
tit, Populist
Mr.. Petit has higher claim to the
support or so-called free silver demo-
Gratis than has Mr.. Hardin.
Mr.. Petit is better democrat than
MI. Hardin. He is loyal to the princi-
pie or representation in the conduct OF
party affairs. He left the democratic
party by the front door, because he be-
lieved the party wrong. He had the
courage to surrender the hope of polit-
lcal advancement rather than surrender
his convictions.
He preferred to leave the party to
having the party leave him. We may
diner with Mr.. Petit, but we must re-
spect his firmness, his loyalty to prin-
ciple and respect for fair play.
Mr.. Petit, moreover. is a better
speaker than Mr.. Hardin, and a far bet
ter debater.
IF the committee desired to have Mr..
Bradley's (republican arguments in be-
half OF sound currency answered, they
VINO knows nothing on either side OF
the question. but Mr.. Petit. who has
the arguments of the populists at his
tongues end.
Still further, Mr. Petit would make
a better governor than Mr.. Hardin.
His Judgment is sounder; his views are
clearer; his reasoning powers stronger,
and ne knows how to express hlmsel1
so his auditors can understand him.
Give Mr.. Petit chance. He has
had great experience in legislation and
knows enough to know that many or
Gen. Hardin's vagaries are utterly abb
surd.
1T Is true that Mr.. Petit is the can
didate Of the populists. but he is not
their victim; no one has hypnotized
hlm, and he would lead his followers
and not surrender to them.
Mr.. Petit is a man of many Ideas;
Mr.. Hardin is man Of one. Mr.. Pet-
tit stands by his platform; Mr.. Hardin
repudiates his. Mr.. Petit was the
choice of the party; Mr.. Hardin was
forced on the party against Its Wish.
Mr.. Petit bows to the will OF the ma
jority; Mr.. Hardin's own will Is law to
him. Mr.. Petit at Frankfort would be
prudent, cautious, painstaking, indus
trfous; Mr.. Hardin would be obstinate,
indolent and dangerous to all interests.
Altogether, it would, in our 1udg-
ment. be far better for the state and
for the democratic party to elect Pet-
tit than to elect Hardin"

FARMERS AND BICYCLES.
Ways in which Profits of Agriculture

Ways in Which Profits of Agriculture
Have Diminished.
The extension of the trolley and cable
systems of traction for street car lines
has greatly reduced the demand for
horses, and as electricity and steam
power has been substituted for horse
power, the market for the cheaper grade
of horses has grown worse Recently
the farmers who deal in horses have
met with still another disaster which
has diminished the demand further
the bicycle craze. This strikes at the
horses of the better quality, ordinary
carriage horses, and not those devoted
to the humble and Iaborious task of
drawing street cars for their board and
lodging. Livery stables throughout the
country, and more especially in the
smaller towns, are now feeling the sin
lister effect of the bicycle craze In coun-
try hotels or boarding houses where in
previous summers it was the custom of
has been very little demand for car
riages, as bicycles have furnished an
adequate substitute. Not only have the
livery stables suffered in respect of
transient patrons desiring "to go for a
drive" over green hills and through
winding valleys in the country, but the
regular customers as we'll have gone
over to the bicycle contingent very
largely. Country doctors, as rule, have
been among the best customers of livery
stables, but they are so no more, for
many country physicians now use BIZ
cycles for their professional visits, and
this is true of many other former pa
irons of livery stables. The big bicycle
factories are turning out hundreds OF
machines every day, and up to a few
weeks ago could not supply the demand
AS the number of machines increases
the demand for horses falls off, and one
of the results of this has been the
cheapening of good carriage horses and
the reduction of the number of such
carriage horses raised by farmers. In
still another way the farmers of many
states have suffered from the effects oi
the bicycle craze, the wheels need nc
fodder. The fewer horses, the less de-
mand for hay and oats: and it is be-
lieved in many quarters that shortage
in the New York hay crop this year is
all that prevents big fall in the price
| consequent upon the decrease of the de-
| mand.

The Corporations Unite Against the
Private Citizen.
A well-to-do farmer residing near
Denton took several baskets of peaches
to the boat last week to send to friends
in Baltimore as present. When he
offered to pay the freight he was
charged Is cents basket. The farmer
was thunderstruck for the regular rates
are but cents. When he asked for an
explanation he was told that he was
not shipping to a commission merchant
but to private parties: and that rates
to consumers direct without passing
through the hands of commission mer-
chants were higher. Talk about the
despotism of the czar of Russia. The
despotism of this steamboat line in
compelling the farmer to deal with the
commission merchant is as tyrannous
as any despotism in the world. Where
is your democratic or republican form
OF government when you are such
slaves to monopoly. It is time to limit
the power of this trust. If you agree
with us why not be men and vote with
us?-Peninsula Farmer Federalsburg.
