Gov. Bradley of Kentucky is said to be
in such poor health that he contemplates
resigning. At the same time, his friends
are working as hard as ever lay
ing pipe for him to secure the
senatorship to succeed Blackburn.
1t may be that they think the
senatorship is a sinecure, to be enjoyed
by sick men. And then again it may be
that the reports concerning his health
and prospective resignation are put out
the public pulse with regard to the mat
ters of an extra session of the legislature,
the senatorial election, and an extra cleo
ton for governor in the spring.

1t appears that there is to be a contest
between Senators Mills and Call for the
honor of being Senior Cuban Patriot of
the Senate. Snator Call has spent the
whole time since the adjournment of con-
gress in his library brushing up his Span
ish in order to be able to demand Wey-
ler's sword in person as one of the first
consequences to follow a war resolution
he proposed to introduce, and which he
would have introduced on Tuesday if Sen
ator Bacon had not held him off. 1t was
really cruel of Senator Mills, after all of
the Floridian's care and quiet statesman
ship, to rush into print with a resolution
proposing the very thing Senator Call
had intended to propose. That is not
showing senatorial courtesy

A watchful contemporary, always on the
lookout for something good for the farm
er, has discovered that there is money
to be made in the frog industry; that is,
raising frogs for market. A frog farm, if
it may be so,called is in successful opera
ton at Elizabeth City, N. c.. and the
proprietor has orders booked for all he
can supply at fair prices. 1t is urged that
any farmer who has a mill pond, or any
other sort of pond, or a creek or branch,
on his place. can go into the frog business
with practically no expense. Formerly
only the hind legs of frogs were consider
ed fit for the table, but our contemporary
says that modern epicures demand that
the frog shall be barbecued and served

The Atlanta Journal has compiled some
interesting figures. which show that the
burden of the expense of government of
the state of Georgia is borne by forty
seven counties. The others, ninety in
number draw out for schools and pensions
more than they pay in This is the stu
alton at present. When the school fund
is increased the number of counties that
are burden to the others, the Journal
thinks, will be increased to 100 There are
now twenty-eight counties which get more
from the school fund alone than they pay
into the state treasury. The six counties
of Fulton, Chatham, Bibb, Richmond
NIuscogee and Floyd pay $696,OOO in taxes
this year, or more than one-third of the
levy. Chatham pays into the treasury
a little less than $4,000 and draws out $780,
900. Fulton pays in $256OOO and gets back
$4,000. The facts show that the populous
counties are carrying the others on their
backs.

Has Stirred Up His Followers in
Great Shape Taubeneck
For Him.
There Is Also Said to Be Hope
That Altgeld May Lend
His Aid.

CHICAGO. July 6,-There was a strong
rally of the friends Of Senator Teller
following the assertion by Buck
H%inrichsen of Illinois, that the Colorado
senator would not accept the nomina-
ton. The silver boilers from the St.
Louis convention are working like
Trojans to impress upon the Democratic
silver leaders the great advantage of
Teller's nomination in solidlfylng all
the silver elements of the West, and
they are being warmly supported by
Mr.. T~aubeneck. chairman of the Popu.
list party committee. DR.. Mott, secre'
tary of the silver party, and the repre-
resentative of the independent silver
element generally. Taubeneck, assum-
ing to speak for the Populists, declares
most emphatically that unless Teller is
nominated the three million votes which
he claims that organization controls,
will be cast for a candidate selected by
the Populists at their national owen
ton in St. Louis, on the 21st. The ma
jority of Democratic silver senators who
are on the ground recognize
Teller's Great Individual Strength
and his towering figure as a great cham
pjon of silver. and privately most OF
Them would like t 0 see him nominated.
but there is a great fear that the rank
and file of the Democratic party would
yebel against the selection Of a man
who SO recently walked out of a Repub.
lcan convention. Nevertheless, they
are canvassing Teller's availability with
earnestness with all the incoming dele.
gates, and upon the result of their quiet
conferences the question of the presen.
tation Of Teller's name will depend.
Altgeld Is N~on-Comrntttal.

public commitment of Governor Alt
geld up to date has been i'll favor Of
John p. Mcconnell of this city. but it
has developed that Judge Mcconnell is
in favor of Teller's nomination. The
silver Republicans are overjoved at this
as they believe II will materially in
