In an interview in Saratoga on Tues
day Senator German is quoted as having
said that by the time the next national
democratic convention meets the silver
question will either have settled itself or
it will have been smothered by an EZRA
OF unexampled prosperity" He further
said that the democrats would be sue
cessful in the elections this fall. but that
their success this year would be small in
comparison with what it would be next
year.
The senator takes a rosy view of the sit
nation, but the present outlook seems to
warrant it. The silverite orators with
their talk of hard times are listened to with
steadily increasing Impotence. They VIII
have to stop talking soon for the want of
sympathetic listeners. The cause of silver
is rapidly losing ground, and the chances
are that Senator Germans predictions.
that little will be heard of the silver ques-
ton nine months hence will prove to be
correct.
The manufacturing and business inter-
ests are adjusting themselves to the new
tarin conditions and under the stimulat-
ing influence of the assurance that the
currency will be kept sound the tide OF
prosperity is steadily rising. These condi-
lions explain why 1t is that the silver con-
vention at Washington was regarded with
SO much indifference.

NOSthern Prejudice Against Negroes.
From the New York Times Dem.).

The black men of this country labor
under many discouraging disadvantages,
and prejudice may be one of them. But
we think that II will not be so easy to
prove that this prejudice exists in the
south to anything like the degree that il
is found in the north. Many occupations
are open to the negro of the south, from
which he is absolutely excluded in the
north. He can possess the southern field
TO a greater extent than he does by
the cultivation of habits of industry and
regularity that are indispensable in the
prosecution of large business undertake
ings. BY and by he may break into the
northern field of labor by demonstrating
his equal ability with the white man to
learn how and 10 do after he has learned.

At last the county commissioners have
decided to fill up or drain the pond at the
intersection of the City and Suburban
and the Savannah. Florida and Western
railways Immediately south of Twelfth
street For very long time the resi-
dents of that portion of the city have COM
planned of that pond as a disease breed
ing place, and often have the commission
ers been requested to drain it or I'LL it.
but these complaints and requests re-
suited in nothing definite. A year or more
ago the Morning News published the
complaints of those who suffered from it.
and urged that the cause Of the complaints
be removed. There was always some rea-
son offered why nothing was done.
1t now appears that the nuisance is
to be removed. At least the commission
ers have ordered the drainage committee
to have it removed. If it can be removed
now why could it not have been re-
moved one year, or two years, ago? 1t is
no easier to abate the evil now than it was
when it was first complained of.
1t is a source of satisfaction. however,
that the commissioners have at last been
aroused to the Importance of abating it.
We do not know that it has been the
cause of illness of any kind but we do
know that those who reside in the vicinity
of it have always regarded its existence
with a feeling of uneasiness. 1t would not
be surprising if, after the long season of
rainy weather which we have had. 1t
would become a disease breeding place
if we should have a month or more Of
dry weather. Therefore. there should be
no delay in draining the pond.
1t is said that Gen. Martinez Campos
was so holly pressed at Bayamo, after
the battle of Valenzuela. that he shaved
off his long goatee by way of Disgusting
himself, and which disguise by the way,
enabled him to escape. He has not
shown himself in public much since
then, it is alleged, for the reason that
he is waiting for the goatee to grow
again. The rumor is current that Campos
desires 10 resign the command of the
Spanish troops in Cuba, and that he

grant the cubans home rule.

The meeting of Georgia farmers, which
is now in session at Cumberland Island,
is the kind of farmers conference that is
of benefit to it's members and attendants.
There is no politics in it. The farmers
meet and exchange opinions as to how
their lands may be made more produc-
tive, and how the crops may be marketed
TO the best advantage. There are in the
crowd no wire-pullers and log-rollers
seeking office. and politics do not enter
into the public discussion. The result is
that the Georgia State Agricultural So
ciety is hourishing like a green bay tree,
while the Georgia State Farmers ALI
ance. having been poisoned by political
demagogues. is a thing Of the past.

How often have the guessers at Wash
ington guessed correctly one OF President
Cleveland's important appointments? Ii

1t is reported that the California Wine
Association, by securing united action, has
raised the price of wine from 6 cents a
gallon last year to l21a cents this year.
Referring to this the Charleston News
and Courier says the information nat
urally suggests the suspicion that there
must be a wine association somewhere be-
tween this part of the country and Cali
fornia to account for the rise in price
from 12l5 cents a gallon TO $3.50 a gallon
by the time the wine crosses the conti-
nent" So far so good, but now comes the
queer part of our contemporary COM
ment: 1T would pay the California as
ISOLATION, as well as the consumers. to
find out and freeze out these extortionate
middlemen" Besides being adverse to
state policy, as exemplifed by the domi-
nant political element in South Carolina,
the News and Courier's suggestion is inn
practicable. How does our contemporary
suppose the California association and the
South Carolina wine bibbers are going to

Since the Atlanta bull fights are to be
merely counterfeits, and there will be no
blood letting or any of the other sensa-
tionaI features so common TO Mexican
bull fights. it seems TO be a rank injus-
tice TO Georgia stock raisers to send to
Mexico for the bulls. It is alleged that
something like 500 each is to be paid for
the imported stock. Now, there can be
no question that any one Of the 157 coun-
ties IN Georgia can furnish all the bulls
that may be wanted. at half the price
named, and that the animals will be
every whit as good for fake fights as the
Mexican bulls. And Atlanta might her
self furnish the toreadors. There are lots

here was no fight on the money ques-
ton in the Tenth district convention which
met at Charlottesville on Wednesday and
nominated ex-Congressman Black to sue
coed himself. At one time the sound
money men. led by Mr.. Eve of Augusta,
were in favor of making test of strength
on the matter, but upon the appeal of
Speaker Fleming. chairman of the COM
mittee on platform. they receded from
their determination for the good of the
party. and pledged themselves to work
for the success of the democratic nomi-
nee. 1t would be interesting to know if
the free silverites would have proved their
loyalty to the party in like manner II
they had been out-numbered in the con-
Vention.

Gen. Longstreet, in telling of some Of his

said that during the campaign of the Pen

sleeping except as his corps was passing

as he had dismoUnted, leaving his horse
in the charge of his orderly, and going
down into the angles of one of those Vir-
ginia fences he overheard two soldiers
talking. which interested him considera-
bly,, and, instead of sleeping he listened to
them. One soldier said to the other: II

1t is announced that second great cleo
trical combination has just been formed.
presumably for the purpose of entering
the field against the recently formed
WESTINGHOUSE Baldwin combination. The
parties to the new combination are said to
be the great Siemens electrical manufac-
turing concern of Europe. and the Yerkes-
Elkins- Widener street railway syndicates,
which control the railways Of Philadcl-
phia, Chicago. Pittsburg and other cities.
The Siemens concern is the largest in Eu-

IN this country are multi-millionaires.
The Atlanta police have on their hands a

rope and hanging himself. 1t
seems that the young fellow has remained
in his nude condition for eight days. and
