of Wad Bishara have surrendered and
the opposition to the Egyptian power
in this section has completely col

Not a Pleasant Prosnect.

For three or four months times are 60

business men will have reason to com
plain. Until the result of the presiden-
tial election is known there will be no
disposition to engage in new enterprises.
Money. other than that needed to move
the crops, will remain in the banks or be
locked in safety deposit vaults.
We called attention a few days ago to
the purpose of the Pennsylvania
Railroad Company to make no
more improvements until it was deter
mined by the result of the election wheth-
er or not we are to have change in our
monetary system. That road had Dor
rowed several millions of dollars to put
into improvements. Other railroads have
adopted similar policy.
Even here in Savannah the effects of
the agitation of the monetary question
are being felt. 1t was announced in our
local columns yesterday that $50 men.

work. had been discharged, because the
war department had decided not to con-

pairing the machinery of the dredges. and

In all parts of the country wage earn
ers. on account of the monetary agita-

earning living decreasing. When wage
earners are out of employment business
becomes dun.
This condition of affairs is to be de-

not be avoided. 1t is to be hoped how
ever, that the election will put an end
to the uncertainty, and that there win

A Sea serpent of Good Taste.

OF the ueep This TnOmsntous question has
agitated humanity. says the Chicago Iri-
bune. Seafaring men OF all natio1allties

though personally they have never seen
the creature. they know a man who has.
Repu table landsmen time and again have
declared that friends Of theirs. commonly
seamen returning from a long voyage,
have viewed the animal either with q tel
escope or with the naked eye. But there
are few authenticated cases where the
evidence has come first hand
At considerable expense and no slight
labor one Of these cases has been thor
oughiy investigated. The bare facts, un-
adorned by fine writing or flowers Of
speech. alone are given. but after reading
them the most incredulous are forced to
say:
There Is indeed a sea serpent"
On SATURDAY, July 1. 9. Uzzier and Man
ny Jaggs, two employees Of the RaZzle no
tel, in the little town Of Dazzle. Wis, set
out m small skin on a fishing excursion.
Inc boat was somewhat cranky. and as
ballast UZzler and Jaggs took with them
three cases of bottled beer and two quarts
OF whisky. Having reached the fishing
grounds, the two fishermen baited their
hooks, hung them over the side of the
boat, and seated themselves for a few
minutes conversation. As to what FOL-
4oMeli the statement OF MT. JaEeSs WniCn
is remarkably clear and convincing, may
be taken:
We had been seated there but a short
time, perhaps not more than three or four
hours, when / noticed a violent commotion
IN the water 10 the north of US. ] called
Uzzler's attention to II, and he said he
thought it was a school Of whales getting
out at recess We each threw a bottle at
the disturbed water, seemingly without
erect Shortly after the head of the sea
serpent appeared. A hundred yards or so
OF its body followed, and it swan slowly
toward the boat"
At this point Mr.. Jaggs' narrative be-
comes somewhat confused, and il is be-
lleVed that for a time at least fright re-
duced him to a comatose condition. Luck
lily, Mr.. Uzzler retained his faculties.
1t swan slowly round and round in
great circles showing it's head and spout
ing water from its nostrils," said Mr..
Uzzier. Apparently, the water in the
immediate neighbOrhood went around with
II, for noticed that the boat was revolv-
ing rapidly. The large eyes of the animal
seemed affected as WELL for they turned
rapidly IN their sockets. So far as I could
distinguish the color, il was red. white
and blue, with stripes about its middle like
those on BARRIERS pole. When II had
come close to the boat, 1t raised its head
marked:

ana sank slowly, smiling and Winkine as
It went down. l should say that 1t was
about mile long. Such parts of its body
as l saw were covered with protuberances
much like spigOts."
In proof of Mr.. Uzzler's story It need
only be remarked that on reaching shore
II was discovered that not a dron of hal
last was left on board.

nryan's Acceptance speech.

Democrats in all parts Of the country feel
a deep interest IN the speech which AIr.
Bryan is TO make in Madi-
son Square Garden. New York
on aug. u. az which time he is to be
officially notified Of his nomination BY the
democratic party for President. His init
mate friends and the democratic campaign
managers feel that a great deal depends
upon the speech which Mr.. Bryan VIII
make on that occasion.
While Mr. Bryan is pretty well known
throughout the country. it is well under
stood that he has had very little experience
in public affairs. on account Of his youth
and his inexpericnce the republicans are
Inclined to make the point against him
that DE is not fully qualified for the great
responsibilities Of the Presidential Office
His reputation as a public man rests al
most wholly on his ability as an orator.
Mr. Bryan's twelfth OF August speech,
therefore. will be subjected to the sever
est criticism. II It should be a great
speech-a speech replete with good sense.
views Of public questions. a high appre-
citation OF the responsibilities and duties
that devolve upon the chief executive Of
the country and. at the same time. elo-
quent-it would do him vast amount Of
good m his campaign. 1t would, in fact. 90
further towards helping him win the cleo
ton than a hundred other speeches de
livered by the ablest men In the democratic
party.
On the other hand n the speech should
fan below expectations, If 1t should be a
repetition Of much that he has said on
other occasions, particularly Of the
speech at the Chicago convention, which
secured for him the nomination. It would
do him an incalculable amount Of harm.
Mr. Bryan appreciates the Importance OF
the task he is called upon to perform. and
he is preparing himself for it. He realizes
how greatly a successful speech would i'm
prove his Presidential prospects. and he
does not underestimate the dampening ef-
feet upon his campaign that failure
would have.
We have not the least fear that Mr..
Bryan win fail. He knows the extent Of his
powers. and when he selected Madison
Square Garden as the scene of his first
great effort in the campaign. he did so
with the full understanding Of what would
be expected Of him. He chose the most con-
spicuous stage in the country upon which
to make his first appearance as the Of
fcially recognized Presidential candidate
Of great political party, because he felt
conscious of his ability to meet any de-
mand that might be made upon that or
any other occasion.

Mnt.on,. Proposition.

It cannot De said that Mr. watson's

with shouts OF approval by democrats.
The New York World. In commenting on

They are not saying out loud what
they think OF it. but We feel quite GER
tain that they agree with the World that
Mr.. Watson has enough gan 10 entitle
him TO a very high place in the esti-
nation Of the popullsts-
We have no doubt that the whole eoun-
try has watched with profound interest
the highly interesting correspondence
which two distinguished democrats. over
the signatures Of their respective news
papers. have been conducting with Mr..
Watson with the view OF either getting
him Of the populist ticket or, at least.

the campaign should be conducted with

cess OF the cause OF silver. but its watch
ing has not resulted in its enlightenment.
Mr. Watson has stated his views frankly.
but he has spoken as one who feels that
zeal situation. II he is mistaken in sup
posing that he counts for something.
that fact will become apparent further
along in the campaign. Just at present,
however, ne seems to be confident that
he can AFFORD TO wait for developments.
He has not asked anybody to do any
thing for him. On the contrary, It has
been pretty broadly limited to him that
1t Is in his power to simplify the situa-
ton a great deal. and help certain party
leaders out OF what is admitted to be
a dilemma
1t is apparent. however, that Mr.. Wat
son isn't going to simplify the situation
or help anybody out Of a dilemma He
recognizes the fact that the democratic
leaders want the populist vote for the
democratic ticket. Mr.. Watson says they
can have It on the terms stated by the
populist national convention. They don't
want 1t on those terms. for very good
reasons. They want It on their own
terms, which means that they want 1t
without giving anything in return for It.
The question is, can they get it on their
own terms? They can get some Of it,
but from the action of some Of the popu-
list state conventions within the last few
days. they cannot get all Of it. In fact
it is question whether they can get
majority of it.
The nomination of Mr.. Watson, there
fore, which was thought to be a matter
Of comparatively little consequence when
1t was first announced, has become to
be regarded as of very considerable i'm
portance. 1t is plain now that the popu-
lists are not going to fuse with the demo-
Gratis without an unders landing as to
what they are to receive in the way Of
political honors. They positively say to
the democrats, you cannot have our mill
ion and a half votes merely for the ask
ing.
All of this. Of course. goes to show
that the pupulists are not in politics
wholly from motives Of patrfo tism. They
want fair share Of whatever spoils they
help to win. And they will get what
they demand, or they will not give their
whole strength to the national demo-
cratic ticket.
