GOOD Rye. John.

The New Orleans Picayune says:
Congressman j. G. Sibley of Penn
sylvania. the self-nominated candidate
for the presidency ON the free silver
issue, in speech made on Thursday,
at Raleigh, n. c., told his hearers that
if free silver coinage is ever to be con
summated, it must be done at the next
general elections in 1896. Mr.. Sibley
is certainly correct about this. The
silver movement is based on the excite
ment that has grown out of sudden
and most active agitation resting on
sentiment, and not on principle. Prln-
cip,e never dies; but momentary excite
ments like the silver movement spring
up like a fire in dry stubble and rage
with fury for short time and then die
out. because there is nothing substantial
to support them. The silver agitation
was started by the silver miners. IN
order TO raise the price of the product
of their industry. There are not in the
entire Union more than 10000 people
interested as proprietors or employees in
the production of the white metal, and TO
the balance of the vast population of
this country it makes not the slightest
difference what may be the price of sill
YER. But, nevertheless, very pecu-
liar sentiment has been aroused on this
subject, so that the silver question actu-
ally threatens to dismember the old
political parties. But this state of pop
ular excitement can not last much longer;
it is bound to subside and die out just
as soon as the sentiment which has been
strangely aroused shall cool. Mr.. Sibley
sees this, and so he declares that. with
the silverites, it is now or never If
they fail to win 1896, then Good bye.
Johnr to them. And they will fail If
the election were to be held next week
they might possibly win; but this re
markable fad can not last even to 1906"

london, Aug. 1S.-The Times dispatch
from Havana says: The sickness
amongst the Spanish troops does not
abate. A battalion of the Guadalaiara
regiment. quartered at Mayari, province
of Santiago de Cuba, reports that six
officers died within few days. The

Reports from all the provinces concur
that the economic condition of the coun-

to obtain an advance to pay laborers on
the plantations.

BIG SHIPMENT OF COTTON DUCK

The Chattanooga Tradesman has this
item: Sanger Bros. of Dallas, Tex, re-
Gently made the largest shipment of cot
ton duck goods ever made by a jObbing
house in the United States. The ship
ment amounted to 1000 bales of 600
yards each. The goods went to about
600 customers of the firm within a radius
of 100 miles of Dallas, to be used for
making sacks to pick cotton in. Last
year Sanger Bros. handled 800 bales of
similar goods. This year they will han
die 1000 bales, the remaining 1000 to be
shipped later This is claimed to be a
greater quantity of duck than is handled
by all the other jobbing houses in Texas
combined, with all the jObbing houses in
st. Louis thrown in for good measure.
This shipment was the product of the
Dallas cotton mills, and for the 1000
bales Sanger Bros. paid $4,000 cash in
advance. The same mills are under a
second contract to furnish Sanger Bros
second 1000 bales during the summer.
The Dallas mills now manufacture duck,
heavy sheeting and drills, exclusively,
and are demonstrating to the great sat
isfaction of the proprietors of the. mills
that manufacturing can be prohtab!y
pursued in the South"

PEEEER Is TIRED

The Nashville Banner says: Senator
PETER, of Kansas, erstwhile one of the
most vigorous and volub,e champions of
the free and unlimited coinage of silver,
has turned against what he calls 'rabid
metallism,' and no longer believes that
silver would be the remedy for the ills
has been frank enough to confess that the
free silver sentiment in the West is dying
out, and that an attempt TO control the
finances of the government on that line
will prove stale, fat and Improbable. 1t
is his purpose, therefore, to try to save the
country by some other means, and he
proposes to fall back upon a plan of abol-
ishing interest or radically reducing the
rate and minimizing land rents. His plan
compasses the idea of having the govern.
ment take paternal control of affairs and
regulate all these matters so that every
body will be as happy as a big sunfiower.
In this day of financial and political fads,
the PETERS have great latitude, but, after
all, the conservative masses will stand
by the old-fashioned ideas of sound money
and safe policy"

The Century for March has two par.
ticularlv fresh and unhackneved sub.
jects. In these globe-trotting days the
account of "a new field of travel" will
be greeted with pleasure by American
travellers, and this Miss Harriet Waters
Preston and Mr.. Joseph Pencil, the ar.
fist, have found Beyond the Adriatic,' u
along the coast of Dalmatia and AL
bania, a region, moreover, which is now
ccessihle to travellers. The second top
ic is the art of the late Jean Carries, the
French soul pt,r and potter. The Cen
fury is the first of the magazines, we be-
lieve, to give attention to the important
work of this artist, the appearance of
whose work in the salon of the Camp
de Mars Of 1892 caused his fellow
artists to demand and obtain for him
from the president of the republic the
cross of the Legion of Honor. The text
OF the article is written by Emile Howell
aque, French art-critic, who. by the
way writes in English, considering the
character and influence of Carries work
upon the art of his time. Nine pictures
OF the sculptor's work-two from ex-
atiples owned in America-are present.
ed with the artists.
