TEN-CENT COTTON PREDICTED.

Mr.. Nesbitt, agricultural commission
er for the state OF Georgia, and consid-
cred an authority as TO the output Of
the fieecy staple, predicts that cotton
will soon sell for 10 cents q pound and
perhaps more. He bases his CONCLUSION
ON the fact that there Is smaller sur
plus this year than ever before, coupled
with the shortness Of the present crop.
The Atlanta Journal says the cotton
fields OF Georgia are whitening for
the harvest and Commissioner Sesbirr
says the receipts for August and Sep
TENDER in Georgia this year VIII be
larger than they have ever been before,
while those for October viii be smaller,
as from the present outlook the entire
crop VIII be gathered and marketed by
the middle of October. This VIII be a
most unusual occurrence. as generally

THEY WANT AN ORGAN.

Pop speakers and Pop laymen keep
up continuous wall that the newspa-
pers are all against them. If they
only knew it, this is an Implied ad-
mission that their cause is wrong. Ad-
uniting that the claim is correct, the
query asserts itself: why don't they
start few papers Of their own? Print
er's ink and all its ebceteras were never
so cheap, and surely there Is q wealth
Of matter, judging from the endless
CAB Of their speakers If there is so
much to talk about there is certainly
something to write about, and there is
no law to prevent their buying the
electric power plant at Niagara Fails
to run the machinery of a Popocratic
press if they choose to do so.
Surely it cannot be said that the press
association has treated them unfairly.
Bryan'S speeches and doings have been
reported in detail from the day he
straddled the Democratic party at Chi
cago down to the present time. Many

assumed the color of quasi respecta-
bility through the associations hav-
ing reported them as news matter. If
ever a candidate or party enjoyed the
boon of free advertising this Popo-
cratic outfit has had it through the
kindness Of the Associated Press, and
still they are not happy. 1t has been
a whine and sQueal all along the line
that their cause was failing from the
want of newspaper support yet it has
never occurred to them to employ the
same weapons the enemy is using to
drive them from the field. Here is a
chance for some liberal minded silver
miner, or syndicate of them, to supply
a much needed organ. We suggest
that they make tour of the old second
hand Democratic, Popocratic scrap
piles and see what they can dig up in
the way Of a bargain. Even if it is
necessary to hook up portions of many
worn out machines and presses, it
would hang together quite as well as
the patchwork of the two party plat
forms. There would be fitness in so
adjusting the mechanical part Of the
campaign to the incongruouS mess
which such a paper would serve up for
its readers. If somebody don't lift them
out in some way there is danger of the
whole outfit throwing up It's toes in q
cataleptic fit.

A CONCENSUS OF CENSUS.

The women OF indianapolis sided
rison marrying the pretty Mrs. Dim
mock. These Indiana ladies just storm
ed, declaring the whole thing to be
ridiculous and with no chance for any
outcome. But the older Of these Hoos-
Ter matrons are doing some quiet talk
ing among themselves these Septem-
Der days. Benjamin, If a patriarch, is
a good deal of a Jacob, and Jacob had
a couple of boys himself in his old days;
kids whom he loved more than he did
all the rest, and one of them, the young
est, was named Benjamin. Our Ben
iamin and she that was Mrs. Dimmock,
are living as the only two occupants OF
the Indianapolis home, living, it seems,
lovingly, for it's no particular secret
that it viii soon be three, and the third
one VIII not be baby Mckee but baby
Benjamin Harrison. The Mckee
babies have had their day. 1t was

Senior, showed by that New York
speech that nobody need worry over
his failing vigor or virilty. As for
the opposing sentiment among the ma
irons OF Indianapolis it has been eff

our ears the first intonations OF new
born orator, the cry Of kid in arms

LIS DEEP AND SMART

Those Americans who imagine that
Ii Hung Chang's ideas are based upon
narrow Asiatic ideals have undoubted-
ly been amazed over his address at the
Waldorf banquet. "It has always
been my cherished hope" We're his
words, "to see with my own eyes how
unlimited potentialities Of nature are
brought into utilization for the benefit
Of mankind / can only hope that the
results Of my visit and sojournu in the
west will prove the means of develop
ing China's richest natural resources by
the most modern administrative and
scientific skill for the general welfare
and happiness of the two hemispheres
of our globe" Such a sentiment is as
broad-minded as any that could have
been uttered by a European statesman.
His ungallant habit, however, of imme-
diately asking every woman to whom
he is introduced how old she is has
threatened to lose for him the favor
which he might otherwise find in the
eyes of the fair sex. But his popularity
with the feminine half OF the American
republic has now been assured by his
declaration: I'VE met many delightful
American women. We like the Amer
lean women. They are bright and viva
ciouS" After that, the Goddess Of
Liberty cannot but smile her sweetest
upon the aged Celestial flatterer.
1t is so much easier to ask questions
than to answer them. Under cover OF
his inability to understand English Ii
Hung Chang must contrivs to have a
great deal of quiet inward amusement.
In the main, however, his Inquiries be-
speak practical and thoroughly bust
ness turn Of mind He takes special in
terest in machinery, railway operation

is by our advancement in the means Of
the mechanical cheapening of produc-
ton that we more than compensate for
the cheapness of labor and Of life in
Asiatic countries. An appreciation Of
this advantage seems TO guide our
great Chinese visitor in his scrutiny Of
American manners and methods.

No man in the district is more capable

The people will find Ben good and
upright citizen in every day life, care
full. faithful, industrious man, devoted
to principle, a believer in America for
Americans. Kansas for KanSans.
b. +. Mclean is a man of undoubted
integrity, quite exempt from sordid or
selfish ambition. His life is an open
book and the pages, while showing the
cares and anxieties to which men in
business are subject, still are free from
faint or blemish in the character Of a
man of whom his fellow citizens are
justly proud. He sprang from the
people; he knows the people; he has
always kept near the heart and the
intelligence of the people. He is. and

A WORD ABOUT MR. BRYAN.

Mr.. Bryan says that the tariff ques-
ton must wait In other words sew
enty-five millions Of people must go on
waiting for another four years, even
though they starve in the meanwhile.
The tariff cannot wait any longer than
a Republican congress and a Republi-
can president can be elected Every
interest, every industry, every value in
the land demands a new protective
tariff and a reciprocity law. This
country has already waited so long I'M
der the Wilson-Gorman act that panic
is succeeding panic, and the people are
being driven deeper and deeper into
poverty. The government itself is on
the verge of bankruptcy, which 1t has
only escaped by discounting its credit
p in the sale of bonds to meet current ex-
penSes. The fact that Mr. Bryan re-
fuses to talk tariff, cuts no figure. The
condition described is upon US. 1t
touches everything and effects every
body. The home market has been
paralyzed, industries Of every charac-
ter have been stranded and the money
of the land, in becoming inactive and
therefore Improbable, has ceased to
do its mission and lies idle. Yet Mr..
Bryan Says that the measure, pre-emi-
nent, for changing all this, must wait.
Mr.. Bryan is a young man Of limited
experience in statecraft, yet he is not
wholly without a record. He had been
heard Of by the people Of this country
just once before his nomination, and
that on the one measure which he
counts Of so little importance now, and
which he says must wait -Four years
ago he was in congress, and he sang
but one tune then as he sings but one
and a different one now. He was con-
spicuous for his opposition TO protec-
tive tariff and eloquent in his advocacy
of the tariff law which more than any
thing else brought about all the IN
satisfactory monetary and industrial
conditions of this country. If he was
so far wrong then, why may he not be
wrong now. He worked and voted for
the tariff measure which has brought
idleness, poverty and misery to mil
lions of American people, with all the
energy and vehemence which charac-
terize his present advocacy of free
silver.
When the people went to the polls in
1894 their verdict, by an overwhelming
majority, was against just what Mr..
Bryan had two years previous assured
them would prove their salvation. So
1t Is hardly likely that the millions of
people who in 1895 declared him and
those who believed with him, wrong.
viii in 1896 declare him right as to an
other and an entirely new proposition.
Having helped TO deprive a large part
OF the people OF work and wages
through one un-Republcan scheme he
IS willing 10 take the chances of an
other which he claims is far more
reaching, and therefore which might
prove far more disastrous

John BROWNS BODY.

The formal acceptance by the state OF
New York of John Browns Adirondack
farm and home, which occurred on
July p last, was not as widely noted at
the time as DR.. Albert Shaw thinks the
event warranted He contributes a
long article to the current Review OF
Reviews On the transfer, in which he
remarks:
1t has not been remembered by any very
large proportion of the people who some
times sing John Browns body lies a
molding in the grave" just where that
grave is situated. Probably not one in
hundred has known that John Brown is
buried nearby large boulder few yards
from the door Of a farm house built by
him in the Adirondacks, en- the precise
spot designated by him as the place where
he would wish to be laid at rest IL case OF
death in his Kansas adventures or else
where away from home. Before going the
last time TO Kansas he had carved the in
itials u. B." with a cfl;sel on the side of
the rock, and IL is there that he was after
wards inferred with the foot of the grave
seen. The quaint headstone formerly did
service at the grave Of John Browns
grandfather in Connecticut. and ii was
brought many years ago from Torrington
to the Adirondack grave of the grandson
OF the Captain Brown of the Revolution
Along one side of the John Brown
farm dashes the Au Sable river. tur-
bulent mountain stream, while the
John Brown house commands a fine
view of noble old White Face. In the
near background rise Marcy and the
other high peaks of the Adirondacks.
Altogether this acquisition by New
York state Is one Of notable historic
and picturesque value, and willradd a
romantic touch to the great state forest
reservation which it would not other
wise have possessed.
