Iodianapolis Races.

Indianapolis, Aug. 1o.-four tHous-
and people attended the races here to-
day. In the 2:2l pace Duchess ONelll
was the favorite and was being backed
by the owners of Ole Hutch. This be
came evident after the second heat
and Mr.. Phelps was taken from the
suIkey and replaced by Bert Shank
who took Ole Hutch and won the race
in three straight heats Phelps was
fined 500 and stands uspended until
1T is paid. This amount was given to
Shank for the drive. Ole Hutch got a
low mark in consequence Be Sure won
the 2:12 pace in three straight heats.
He was carried to the half by dolly
Spanker in the first heat in 1:0l%, the
mare being at his throat latch. Dolly
Spanker drove him hard for the flrst
mile and finished length behind IN
Dos The two next heats, however,
were Be Sure's without trouble A
sensation was created by the work OF
the three-year old Abnet who won the
second heat OF the 2:30 trot in 212A.
This makes Abnet the second perform
er of the age of the year.
Tomorrow will be the great day, the
event being the 2:09 pace, when Fidol,
Coleridge and Frank Agen will go.

there is much feeling between the own
ers. Summaries:

Fifteen Dollars a Bale Extra.

Agents of the Morning News who have
been travelling in several sections of the
state make most encouraging and graft
flying reports with regard to the condi-
ton of the people in general and the far
mers in particular. There is not a section
but is in good shape" for the coming
winter and the next year, and in every
section almost every individual is in inn
proved circumstances. There are very
few farmers who have not made corn
enough to last them for twelve months
or longer and almost without exception
they will make pork enough to last them
for about as long a time.
With regard to the cotton crop, a por-
ton of an interview with an average far
mer will serve to illustrate how that has
been made. Il began work last spring."
said he. land made my crop with the view
to selling my cotton at AZ cents on the
farm. That is all 1 expected, and all of
my arrangements were made to that end.
AS things look now. I shall sell it for ~
cents, and maybe more. That means will
get about $15 a bale more for it than 1
calculated upon. My crop will turn out
about ninety bales. You will see, there
fore. that 1 will get some $1,000 more
than I had any idea of while the crop
was being planted and cultivated"
The best part of it is that the 81 300 extra
which the farmer will get will be all his
own money. He is not in debt There is
no incumbrance on those ninety bales of
cotton. He made them at hard-pan prices,
and upon his own resources. 1t would prob
ably be not amiss to say that nine-tenths
of the number of Georgia farmers have
made this seasons cotton crop upon the
very basis that the farmer quoted made
his crop. And they will get SIS bale more
for their cotton than they thought they
would. They made it to sell for Az cents.
and will receive not less than 8 cents
more than that. Very few of them went
into debt, and those that did went in so
lightly that the first bale or two that they
sell will take them out of it. Our agents
report that tenant negro farmers who
have never been out of debt since they
began to farm will this year pay out with
their first bales. and have the remainder
of their crop to jingle in their pockets in
coin. A great many of the white farmers
who have heretofore been head and ears
in debt from years end to years end
have now discharged their obligations and
are selling their cotton for the cash. They
have got corn and meat at home and are
independent
Cheap cotton has been a blessing to

The Election In The Tenth.

The sensational dispatches that are ap-
pearing in the public prints relative to
the election that is to take place in the
Tenth district next Wednesday for con-
gresham do not, we believe, state the sit
uation correctly. There is. undoubtedly,
a good deal Of excitement. but there is
no evidence. as far as We have seen, Of
any purpose to bring on riot in any one
OF the counties Of the district. or TO VIC
late the law in any way.
We have not followed Mr.. Tom Watson's
speeches closely. but we are inclined to
doubt that he has advised populists to in
sist upon voting whether they are regis
tered or not. He is altogether too shrewd
a politician to give such advice as that.
and. besides. his followers are not especial
ly noted for violence' and lawlessness.
There may be a few among them in eacn
community who would applaud such adj
vice as that attributed to Mr.. Watson,
and who would he guided by it. but the
bulk of the populists have respect for the
laws. and they would have no further use
for Mr.. Watson if he. should advise them
to violate the law. Mr.. Watson knows this.
and. hence he would hardly adopt a policy
that would be certain to injure his pros
poets of election.
There is much bitter feeling between the
two parties and we have no doubt that
on the day Of election there will be dis
turbances Of more or less serious char
acter but they will not be premeditated
disturbances. They will be sudden and I'M
expected. and will be brought on by in
temperate language or by rash and reck-
less acts Of drunken men.
We have no doubt that Maj. Black will
be elected. lie is well qualified to serve
the district in congress, and would do it
some service He has conducted his can
paign upon a high plane, and the people
respect him. He will 90 back to con-

Col. AIdrich,s SCHEME.

1t was again demonstrated on Friday
that Senator Tflman is for ali practical
purposes the constitutional convention Of
South Carolina. What he favors is adopted
and what he opposes is defeated. There
is a probability that the convention would
have accepted the Aldrich scheme, which
prohibits the negro from ever holding Of
flee in the state, if Senator Tillman had
not opposed it with extraordinary vigor,
and the convention would have made a
mistake if it had accepted it. The whites
are in the minority in South Carolina,
and for them to say that no one of the ma
jority of the citizens of the state should
ever hold state office would have
brought about condition of affairs that
would have done the state an incalculable
amount of harm.
There is no doubt that Col. Aldrich was
very sincere in advocating his scheme,
but the wisest and best of men have made
mistakes that have had a far reaching and
lasting effect II would not be an easy
matter to enumerate the evils that would
result from shutting out the negroes from
the offices. 1t would certainly have given
the race question much greater promi-
hence than it has yet had. The feeling be-
tween the whites and blacks would have
become so bitter that the development Of
the state would have been greatly retard-
ed If not wholly checked.
Under an educational and property quail
ihcation for suffrage the white people will
have no difficulty in retaining control Of
the state. The adoption of the Aldrich
scheme would have stirred up bad blood
without accomplishing as much as can
be accomplished in another and much
fairer way towards keeping the control
of the state in the hands of intelligent
white men

The bar Association Meeting.

The members of the Georgia Bar AS
sociaton will visit the exposition on Oct.
3 3 and 4. The meetings of the associa-
ton will be held in the auditorium OF
the exposition. and very interesting meet
ings they will be, judging from the list
of speakers and the topics selected for
discussion. The annual address viii be
delivered by Hon. William b. Hornblower
of New York. There is doubtless a very
general desire to see Mr.. Hornblower ana
hear his grafton. He would now be an
associate justice of the supreme court of
the United States If Senator Hill had not
been unfriendly to him. He may yet be
am associate Justice of that court as IL
is rumored that it is the Presidents pur-
pose to nominate him again. The under
standing appears to be that Senator Hin
would not oppose his confirmation if
his name should be sent to the Senate
for the vacancy caused by the death OF
Associate Justice Jackson.
The Georgia bar is very able one. 1t
compares favorably with that OF any other
state. Some of its brightest members viii
read papers at the associations meet
ings. Among those on the programme are
Judge Richard H. Clarke, Alex c. King,
]. H. Blount and P. w. Meldrim.
one of the subjects that will be discussed
is Relief of the Supreme Court of Geor-
gia." This is very important subject ana
the attention of the people cannot be
drawn too strongly to it. For years it
has been apparent that the supreme court
has more work to do than it ought to
have, and more than it can do and at the
same time do justice to the people. There
ought TO be more judges. so that closer
study could be given cases, and cases
could be decided more promptly.
The meeting of the association can hard
ly fail to be an interesting and profitable
one, and, under the circumstances, viii
no doubt be largely attended.

Methodist Church in Rome.
From the New York Tribune (Rep.).

The dedication of a Methodist church in
Rome on the 10Th inst, an American
Methodist bishop officiating, was an in
teresting event, not only to the pontiff and
the college of cardinals but to the Metho-
dists and to Protestant denominations
everywhere, whose privilege of conducting
their own modes of worship at Rome or
elsewhere is thereby affirmed under all the
ceremonial sanctions necessary. 1t is not
the first Protestant place of worship con-
secrated there but is likely to become one
of the most influential and important and
represents a branch of the Christian faith
which may outlast the papacy. AS the
shrine of all saints and temple of all gods.
such as she was in the days of her might
and may now become again for any inter-
dictory power in its bishops chair, Rome
could hardly deny to John Wesley a place
amid her canOnized retinue, nor find among
them one worthier to stand in the array
reaching back to Paul and Peter The
presence of the pope at the ceremony of
conservation would have been a happy in
cident, tending to that Christian unity
which he so earnestly desires to promote,
but it was hardly to be looked for. and,
happily, was not essential to the validity
os the conservation.

JUSTICE JucINsOhs succeSsOr.
From the Springfield Republican Qnd.)

It is to be expected that in selecting
successor to the late Justice Jackson the
President will look at the fitness of his
nominee and leave the responsibility for
his confirmation or rejection where il be-
longs, with the Senate. To assume that
this man or that one would be refused ap-
prevail because senators will again be led
by the nose by Hill, as they were in re-
jecting Hornblower, and to modify his
choice accordingly, would not be a proceed
ing consistent with the importance of the
prerogative the President is exercising
Neither the Senate nor Hill gained in pub
lie estimation in the Hornblower matter
for it was thoroughly understood that the
Senate was helping Hill crafty his per-
sonal spite, and that every senator who
voted against the confirmation of Horn
blower knew what he was doing. This
sort of temper deserves no recognition or
consideration, and should not be taken
into account in making the new nominal

The letter of the mayor to the chief
Of police relative to violations Of the
sunday liquor law was timely. The VIC
lations OF the law were becoming so
open and notorious that dissatisfaction
was beginning to crop out. If the viola
tons continue it will be difficult to avoid
the suspicion that the effort to enforce
the ordinance is not as great as 1t might
be. The anti-barroom bill may take the
place OF the Sunday ordinance if the sa-
loon keepers persist in ignoring public
sentiment in respect to liquor selling on
Sundays.
