I'VE have had Republican assurances
in plenty throughout the canvass that
Major Mckinley's election would lie
followed by splendid outburst OF COLI
fidence in the future, from which would
result an immediate restoration of ma
tional prosperity. Let us hope that
the confidence and prosperity will be
forthcoming. Indeed, better times
than we have experienced for the past
three wears are to be looked for, for
the capitalistic and employing class
has undoubtedly worked itself into the
faith that Mckinley's success would
avert great peril, and i'll its joy at the
outcome of the voting there will be a
loosening Of purse-strings and a dispo-
sition to fulfill prophecy. But that
the better times can last long under
our vicious monetary system will not
be expected by those who take cogni-
zance of other than surface causes.
The gold standard will have four years
more in which to show how it operates
in practice. If it produces the same
fruits between now and 1900 that it
has yielded hitherto, there will he an
irresistible uprising against it.
'The Journal has no inclination to
quarrel with the jury of the people be-
cause of their verdict. If they have
condemned the Democratic proposal to
remonetize silver, it is because they
have not been sure of its eNpediency
and have been made doubtful of its
morality. Further time is needed to
convince them that it is both eNpedient
and right.
'.The duty of all good citizens now
is to acquiesce loyalty and quickly i'll
Major Mckinley's election, forget the
rancors and excitements of politics as
soon as possible-parting with no con-
victions, but remembering that there
is time for all things settle
down to business. The country needs
a rest. ~. Y Journal.

GDDE tt: lie; IN GEORGIA..

The Macon tGa.l T.j.g.H il Of Friday last
says: Never III the history of Macon was
there rs much cotton stored in the city at
one time. The tieecy staple is ever where.
The warehouses are stocked full OF il and
hundreds of bales are lying in the streets
taking the rain. This morning there is in
Macon one-half million dollars worth of
cotton. Every warehouseman in town has
his warehouse packed, but still it comes,
and still it STAYS. The farmers are send
ing it here to be held for better prices, and
only a fair per cent of what is brought
of course have to hold all that the farm
ers order To- be held and, as nearly all the
farmers are expecting cotton to go to :
cents, they want it held for that price.
Whether their expectations will be real
lied or not remains to be seen
"Eight-cent cotton would make Georgia
the 'El Dorado of the world said cot
ton warehouSeman. The warehousemen
expect that cotton will 90 to about cents,
but not above that mark
The Macon Telegraph says editorialiv:
1T is true that farmers. as a rule, do npt
spend money with the profusencSs thai
characterized them in the years immeti-
atcly following the war, but it should be
remembered that they then generally spent
on credit and many of them either failed
to pay or were bankrupt in paying. They
were living beyond their means. They
were not accustomed to the new condi
tons and in creating debt were too san
guine. Now their business Is down to the
rock bottom basis. and if they spend less
they have more"

BOUND FOR CHES APEAK Il
BAY.

\ letter from Church Creek. Md, to the
Baltimore Sun says: The first flock of
southwark bound wild geese of the season
was seen a few days ago crossing the
Blackwater river on its way to Chesapeake
bav 1t consisted Of about one hundred
Canada geese and was flying very low in
the usual wedge, with three exceptionally
large birds leading. Their sonorous
"honks" were distinctly audible and were
answered all along the route by the do
nestle geese whose peculiar cry very close
ly resembles that of their wild relations,
THE best goose-ShOOting occurs III the
lower portion of the county, or that which
includes Tar bay, Honga river and Fishin 2
bay. On Sharp's Island flats and vicinity
they are also hunted successfully with line
decoys or ''honkers" raised from the eggs
for that purpose.
with many of the shore owners, includ-
ing Mr.. John Harrison, of Philadelphia
who has recently established the Cooks
Point game preserve, extensive blinds are
in vogue, around which bait is placed pre-
vious to the shooting. The geese will now
for short time be coming at intervals
from the North, and look out for colder
weather" say the local prophets, when
the gray geese fly.
The advance guard of the migrating
Dlackduck legion has arrived on the Black
water. They have evidently visited the
shooting boxes along the coast on their
Southern trip, as they are very wild and
even difficult to decoy. Small ponds and
inlets of the river are daily frequented by
the ducks, which are feeding on the album
dant water-lily roots. Frequently while
hunting ducks on the marshes f1ocks of
yellow legs, species of large sandpipes
are flushed. These birds are easily called
by peculiar whistle from the sportsm tt,
which causes them to circle in the neigh
bOrhoOd, even when several shots have
been fired
Summer ducks are still being shot in
limited numbers during the late afternoon
when they are flying to the roosts.
Throughout the day they are feeding i'll
the open water and cannot be approach
ed. The predominance of females among
the tiocks has been noticed by the sports
men,"
"Strayglcrs of the WHITTIER southcrly
dipper and coot family, driven by the CON
slant shooting from the head of the bay,
are beginning to appear in the Choptank
river"
"Thc heavy shooting season, which
promises to be an exceedingly good one.
comes with the first symptoms of colder
weather, and blinds are being erected on
many of the points of land throughout
the rive. ) course"
In stormy weather the ducks, which on
calm days feed in the neighboring waters
of the bay, are driven into the river, wehre
many are killed. For the first few weeks
they decoy well, but as the blind shooting
continues they learn to give their
inanimate duplicates Il wide detour.

THEDEFEATED HERO.

Mr.. BRYAN has been defeated. "A
large majority of the popular vote has
been recorded against the tinancla
theory which he espoused. He has,
however, proved himself to he re-
markable character. Friend and foe,
alike. must concede that he made the
most remarkable political campaign III
the history of the country. The phys
zeal and mental strain which he has en-
dured stamps him rs more than an or
binary man. Many who did not agree
with his financial teachings admired
the nobility of his character and the
apparent sincerity of his convictions.
He was the creature of the silver move
ment not its creator He was selected
as a leader upon his own merit and
from the fact that he made an oppor-
tune display of his great oratorical
powers. The wisdom of the selection
soon became apparent, and but for tie
rare combination of obstacles with
which he had to contend. success would
undoubtedly have crowned his efforts
He will not, for the present at least, be
able to make history, but he has made
place in history that is unparalleled.
Mr.. Mckinley will he president, but
Mr.. Bryan will not be forgotten.

WHEAT IN KENT.

The recent rise in wheat was of little
benefit to the Kent county farmers because
of the fact that scarcely a dozen crops re-
NAMED in the granaries of the county.
Some farmers. fearing that the upward
tendency would stop as suddenly as 1t has
commenced. failed to wait quite long
enough for the best results and lost heav-
lily. One farmer disposed of his crop of
three thousand bushels at sixty seven cents
only to be offered eighty cents the follow
ing week. Another gentleman refused an
offer Of eighty cents delivered, awaiting
the dollar mark, and is now deploring the
fact that he failed to catch the high water
mark when it presented itself lndepen-
dent of 40, 200 bushels of wheat which the
rise found in the granaries of Capt. An
drew Woodall, at Georgetown, it Is eX-
tremely doubtful that the total wheat crop
in the county will amount to 10000 bush
els.
kent's corn crop is one of the largest in
many wears and should the rise in wheat
have "a tendency to send the price of corn
somewhat upward, it would he a g"dsend

THE GENERAL RESULT.

The returns from the entire country, al
though incomplete in some States, insure
the election of Mckinley. A sufficient
number of States have declared for him to
make certain that he will get 264 votes in
the electoral college.
The States whose votes are sure for the
republican nominee are as follows:
California 8; Connecticut, s; Della
ware, 3 Illinois, "a: Indiana, IL: Iowa,
l3; Maine, g: Maryland, IA; Minnesota,
8; New Hampshire, 4: New Jersey, 10;
New York, So i; North Dakota, ) Ohio 90;
Oregon, 3; Pennsylvania, %; Rhode Is
land. 4: South Dakota. 4: West Virginia,
6: Wisconsin, ~.
The returns show some interesting feat
ures and in some.respects have been IA sur
prise to the leaders of both political par
ties. The New England States have, as
was expected, given heavy pluralities for
Mckinley without exception. The repub-
lican ticket was successful in Massachu-
sets beyond what was claimed for it by
the most enthusiastic prophet of the re-
publican success.
Pennsylvania and New York We'd with
each other for the largest pluralities. The
former gave 900, 900 and the latter 260, 900.
TO these States Illinois is good third in
its plurality for the winning candidate.
If the percentage Of gain over the presi-
pential election of 1892 that has been
shown continues to the end Illinois will
give plurality of 900 for Mckinley
In the gubernatorial race Altgeld has
been badly defeated but he is probably
about 10000 ahead of the national ticket
There was evidently large vote cast
throughout the State for Mckinley and
Altgeld.
In Indiana. if any of the rules for esti
mating the vote of a State hold good
there is no justification for democratic
claims of having carried the State If the
ratio Of republican gains continue to tie
end of the count, Mckinley will approAi
mately only 10000 plurality in the State
Iowa, as far as can be seen from the lie
turns at present, has given republican
plurality of about 10000

Jones as State in which Bryan would
push Mckinley closely, has given the re
