CURRENT COMMENT.
THE DEBTOR AND CREDITOR.
(New York Sun. J


The truth is that reditor is just as
much entitled to the increased value Of
his money, if there is any increase, when
he comes to be paid off, as tho debtor is
entitled to the increased value of the
property for which he incurred the debt
The idea that the creditor is to receive
only the value of his money at the time
he lent it, and that this value is to pe
arbitrarily estimated in certain commo-
dities, without his consent, has no moral
foundation. One man has land and an
other man wants to buy it. They make
their terms, and honestly requires that
both should stick to them. The SELLER
must give good title to the land and
the buyer must pay the number and kind
Of dollars he agreed to pay. Any other
rule would produce endless wrangling
and confusion at all times, and the at
tempt to enforce it now by degrading the
value of the dollar is an attempt at
robbery disguised under the form of law.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala, Aug. 5.-Fur-
Their returns from Mondays election
show that Johnston and the Demo-
cratic ticket have carried forty-one
counties, while Goodwin, Populist, has
twenty-five. In Pike, Cullom and Tai
lapoosa counties it is about a seandoff
Jonhstons official and estimated ma
jorities amount to 4S.O73, while Good
wins majorities are 9,2O5, leaving
Johns'tons nGit majorities 1865.
The official canvass of the vote Sat
urday will, it is thought, not vary from
these figures.
For the legislature, later reports show
that The house stands seventy-four
Democrats, a gain of ten members,
twenty Populists and six doubtful
In the senate the Democrats have
elected thirteen members, the Popu-
lists three and one in doubt. This
gives the Democrats over three-fouT'thS
of the Legislature.
JohnstOn's majorities in the white
counties is nearly 10000, not including
the black beik, which is calculated to
dispose OF che charge that Goodwin
was elected but counted out.
Conservative Populis,. leaders assert
that if it is shown officially that the
white counties elected Johnston, they
will support Bryan and Sewa.u in No
Venliber, otherwise they Will go for
Bryan and Watson, believing in the
latter event that Johnston got it by
fraud

CHICAGO GENERAL MARKET.

Chicago, Aug. 5.-Wheat-Was active
and ranged higher at the start and
during the early part of the session.
after which an easier tone prevailed
and the early advance was lost, final
figures showing a N0ssc loss. The
early strength was due in a measure
to the bulge in pork, lighter north
western receipts, firmer cables and
continued poor quality of arrivals.
Early Liverpool advices quoted that
market sd higher, and northwestern
receipts were 143 cars under those of
last week. The worlds shipments to
Europe, as reported by the board, were
small, and possibly cut some figure.
On the advance there was free selling
by professionals and prices weakened.
The bear factor was the weather, con-
tinued favorable conditions prevailing
in the winter wheat belt, with showers
in the northwest and a better move
ment and an Improvement in the quail
ty anticipated. Provisions broke bad
~ after sharp bulge and had some
effect on prices later in the day.
In corn there was a pretty good
trade and rather unsettled market

under AN old law seldom enforced. The
vagrant was Lawrence Peak, con-
victed by the circuit court. Six months
was the penalty. The sale was cried
by Deputy Sheriff Williams. Out of
the large crowd present there was only
one bidder. John Cecil bid $1275, for
which he is entitled to Peaks services
