Not n Helper.

1t is doubtful If the presence in this
country of Mr.. Morton Frewen win be
Of any benefit to the cause of silver. Mr..
Frewen is the Englishman who is so
often quoted by the advocates of free
silver coinage. He has some reputation
as a writer on financial ques tons, and is
especially active in support of the silver
cause.
He made some admissions on his arrival
in New York that are being used against
the cause he favors. For instance, he
admitted that, in his opinion, the opening
of our mints would be followed by a
great financial panic. Those of our secu-
rites which are held abroad would be
sent home in immense quantities, and
sold at whatever they would bring. Cor
porations and business firms would be
forced into liquidations, and there would
be chaos for awhile in financial matters.
But, Mr.. Frewen believes there would be
better times after the panic and there
would be a period of great prosperity
after the wreckage had been cleared
away and business had become adjusted
to the new conditions. He is also of the
opinion that If this country adopted free
silver coinage, European countries would
be forced to adopt it,
These views of Mr.. Frewen may be
correct, but his announcement that the
adoption of free silver coinage would
cause great panic, is likely to deter
many from voting for silver. Assuming
that this opinion is correct, it would have
been better for silver if he had remained
in England until after the election.

The New York Times does not think
that the view expressed by Col. w. L.
Trenholm, that the south favors free sil-
yer coinage, because of a sense of graft
tude to the free silver republicans" who
helped to defeat the force bill, is a correct
one. The Times is right, and 1t is rather
remarkable that Mr.. Trenholm should en-
terrain such a view. No doubt there is a
feeling of gratitude to those free silver
republicans who helped to defeat the
force bill legislation proposed by the re-
publican party, but that feeling has moth
ing whatever to do with the position the
southern people occupy on the silver
question. 1t must not be overlooked that
there is strong gold standard sentiment
among the southern people, especially
those who compose the professional and
business elements-the elements that
would be for free silver If Mr. Tren-
holm's idea were correct, because they
would be most likely to be familiar with
the incidents of the force bill fight.
AS we understand it there are two rea-
sons which, among others, influence the
southern people to favor silver. One is
that they believe money would be more
plentiful, and therefore easier to get on
the kind of security they have, and the
other is that free silver coinage would
enable them to get a higher price for
their cotton.
If the last congress had passed a cur
rency reform measure that would have
made banking freer, or had taken the
ten per cent. tax off of state bank issues.
1t Is probable that the south would have
been for the gold standard.
las to the higher price for cotton that
they expect would follow free silver coin
age, they know of course the higher price
would be paid in currency not so good
as gold, but the currency they would get
would pay debts and taxes-that is, it
would take no larger amount Of it to pay
debts and taxes than it takes Of gold
standard money.
Mr.. Trenholm wants TO excuse the
southern people apparently for favoring
silver. They don't want to be excused.
They know what they are doing Just
about as well as those eastern men do
who are making the best fight they can
for the gold standard.

The beauties of fusion are pretty well
illustrated in North Carolina. The ap-
preaching election will cover four sets
of tickets. the national the state, the
congressional and the county tickets. ON
each there has been fusion, but on no
two are the terms of the fusion identical
Indeed, the terms in some of the congress
sional districts are different from those
in other districts. and on the county tick
cts almost every county has its special
bargain and trade. The result is that the
state is completely in the hands Of the
practical politicians. Nobody else has
any well defined idea of the status of af-
fairs. II man wished to vote a straight
ticket, he probably could not do It, II
would take a lawyer and a long search of
records to tell what would be a straight
ticket. In this state Of affairs, the voter
must take the word Of the political boss.
and vote as he is told to do. 1t is a sor-
ry mess. but 1t suits the politicians
nicely.

work for the Charitable.
From the Philadelphia Ledger Qnd.

The cyclone Of August, 1898, devastated
the islands on the coast of South Carolina
and made the immediate relief OF their
surviving inhabitants a task for the whole
country. That Of last week passed little
further west and the old story OF total
ruin and impending starvation is repeated
from Alachua, Levy and Lafayette coun-
ties, Florida. Whole towns have been
swept away industrial works have been
destroyed and hundreds OF people are lit
orally without shelter and without food.
1t is time for quick, energetic action on
the part of philanthorpists who would save
the inhabitants OF the stricken district
from suffering and death.

A Chance for Ceneros1.v

The appeal for aid sent out from Cedar
Key and other places in Florida should
meet with a prompt and hearty response
The appeal is not made because 1t has be-
come the practice to make appeals when
ever there is a disaster of unusual pronor-
tons, but because the people of the storm
stricken sections are suffering for shelter
and the necessaries of life.
Mr.. Flagler has sent his check to the
relief association for $1,000 and no doubt
other rich men will follow his example.
But the appeal should be responded to by
others than very rich men. There are
tens of thousands of people in moderate
circumstances who would contribute
small amounts If special efforts were made
to draw their attention to the fact that
large number of their fellow citizens
were without food and shelter, as the re-
suit of a great and disastrous storm.
Florida would hardly ask for aid If she
was as prosperous as she was before the
great freeze of two years ago, when her
orange groves were destroyed. She is
only beginning to recover her prosperity.
and the great majority of her people find
about as much as they can do to keep the
wolf from the door. In two or three
years more she will have recovered her
prosperity in great measure. and will
be independent of outside aid when over
taken by disasters of a minor character.
The help she needs now she needs quick
ly. Those, therefore, who intend to ex-
tend to her a helping hand should do so
at once.

ASTHMA CAN BE CURED.

A LEADING PHYSICIAN AT LAST
DISCOVERS THE REMEDY.
A Public Test VIII BE Made To-day
at Cubbedge's Drug store.
In the wonderful progress made by med
ical science of the world, successful treat
ment for most diseases has been discov-
cred and those which were at one time
considered incurable are now easily con-
quered. Among the most difficult and
obstinate of diseases which has baffled
the skill of our most noted physicians up
to the present time, asthma ranks first
Thousands of sufferers know by their per-
sonal experience that no absolute cure
for this disease was discovered until Dr.
Rudolph Schiffmann, the renowned ply
sician, who has made the treatment OF
asthma and kindred complaints the study
of lifetime, during which time he has
treated and cured more cases of asthma
than any living doctor, perfected a reme-
dy which not only produces instant re-
lief in the most severe cases Of asthma,
hay fever and bronchitis, but has posi-
lively cured thousands of sufferers who
were considered incurable. Recognizing
the skepticsm of the public in this age
of countless fraudulent nostrums, Dr.
Schiffmann, in order to restore confidence
and obViate any suspicion of imposition,
requests this paper to announce that from
s a. m. to-day until p. m. tomorrow he
offers liberal sample box of Schiffmann's
Asthma Cure to all persons applying at
w. o. Cubbedge's drug store, under odd
Fellows hall, absolutely free of charge,
knowing that personal test will be most
convincing, and will vindicate his every
claim. This physician has made a most
generous offer to persons who suffer from
this most terrible disease, and all suffer
ers are not only requested, but cordially
invited to call, and should bear in mind
the time and place specified for the dis
tribution and avail themselves of the offer
Persons living out of this city who desire
to test the merits of this most wonderful
remedy will receive a package free by
mail by writing to DR.. R. Schiffmann, 315
Rosabel street, st. Paul, Mimi, providing
their letter is received before Oct. 49, as
no samples can be obtained after that
date.
w. o. Cubbedge, the well known drug
glst, authorizes us to announce that he
has received a quantity of samples from
DIR. Schiffmann which he will distribute
during the hours mentioned in accordance
with his offer.

MIC statc Elcction.

Our returns this morning show that
the majority by which the democrats car
ried this state yesterday is about what
the Morning News estimated it would be,
namely between thirty and forty thou
sand. The interest in the election
was very great. not only because of the
fact that county officers were elected.
but also because Of the prohibition issue.
which the populists dragged into the
campaign with the hope of drawing the
prohibitionists away from the democratic
party.
The campaign was holly contested one.
1t caused a large registration and large
vote. The populists appear to have been
very successful in their efforts to get their
voters to the polls, and there is satisfac-
ton in the fact that there is no good
ground on which they can base a charge
of fraud or claim they were cheated out
OF the election.
It will be a day or two before fun and
accurate returns are received. The re-
turns will be consolidated in all the coun-
ties by noon to-day. and 1t will be a couple
OF days probably before all the returns
are received by the proper authority in
Atlanta.
1t is stated that the Tenth congressional
district gave a democratic majority. That
viii cause rejoicing throughout the dis
trict, because it is an indication that the
democrats will carry the district in No
vember.

Hanna Furnishes no Estimntes.

1t Is noticeable that Chairman Hanna
gives out no estimates of the number Of
electoral votes Mr. Mckinley will get.
Ever since the campaign began he has
been extremely conservative in his utter
ances intended for publication. Ana from
all accounts he has reason to be. He
knows the political situation as thorough
ly as it Is possible for any man to know
it, and the inference from what he says
and the earnestness with which he is con-
Quoting the republican campaign is that
he is by no means confident of success. He
is hopeful, but he feels that if the repup-
leans win it must be by the hardest kind
Of work between now and the day Of
election.
He is constantly condemning the policy
which some of the lesser republican lead
ers are pursuing. viz, claiming that Maj.
Mckinley is certain to be elected by an
overwhelming majority. Claims of that
sort, coming from such authoritative
sources. have the effect Of making the
campaign workers less earnest in their
efforts. Mr.. Hanna knows that any let
up in the campaign work will lessen Maj
McKinley's chances for success.
And those chances are not as good as
some of the most enthusiastic
Of Maj. McKinley's admirers would
have the public believe. A day or two
ago the New York Herald published
list of the states which, it claimed, Maj.
Mckinley is certain to carry. The list Is
as follows:

A useless Task.
From the Philadelphia Record Dem.) J..

Mr.. Mckinley is still engaged in daily
efforts to convert to a high tariff the
delegations of sound money democrats
who visit him at Canton. But while en-
ployed in this bootless task the Peter the
Hermit of Protection should at least no:
insult the intelligence of the democratic
visitors by telling them that the existing
tariff is a measure of free trade. Nor
should he hurl crude tariff statistics at
their unoffending heads.

Mr.. Watson is quoted at saying: IRA
lay my head on the block before I'd re-
tire from the race to make room for a
plutocrat, bondholder, a national banker
and protectionist like Mr.. Sewall." We
suppose that settles it. Mr.. Watson will
stay in the race and do what he can 10
prevent the election of the nominee of his
party for President.

The city of New Orleans is now suffering
from visitation of break-bone fever. The
States says the disease is not dangerous,
but nevertheless when a man RECEIVERS

The fever invariably makes it's appearance
in New Orleans, whenever 1t visits that
city, in the early fall. and spares neither
age nor sex. The fatalities from it, how
ever are very few.

A terrible state of juvenile depravity
has been uncovered in Dallas, Tex, by
the county grand jury, resulting in eighty
six indictments against boys from to 10
years old. The crimes charged are bur-
glary. theft and robbery. The boys were
graduates Of those schools OF crime, the
street corner and vacant lot gatherings
at night. The Morning News has many
times called attention to such gatherings
in this city, and warned parents and the
authorities that these street corner and
vacant lot meetings are hot beds Of vice.
depravity and crime. If they are not
broken up, we shall presently have in this
city some such sensation as that created
. in Dallas by the indictments referred to.

An electric motor was tested on
the Manhattan elevated road.
New York, the other day. The
test was marred by a break
down, but it was demonstrated that the
motor is practicable, clearly and less
noisy than the steam locomotive. While
all of that may be true, it is a monstrous-
~ ugly affair, If the pictures Of it printed
in the New York papers are correct like
nessess. 1t looks like a sandwich made
of two coal bins and a section of a hard
ware showcase. In the matter of grace
fulness, it compares with the steam To-
connective about as a South Georgia box
cooter compares, with a yearling buck.
The motor may do the work all right, but
1t Is sadly lacking in beauty.

CURRENT COMMENT.
Better Times for Farmers.
From the Birmingham News Dem.)

The advance in the price of wheat since
Sept. 10 has been worth $S6,O0O,OOO to the
wheat growers, and the advance in cot
ton during the past thirty days has been
worth $4,000, 900 to the cotton planters.
This looks like prosperity is coming in
spite of the politician.

1t requires 224 electoral votes to elect,
and the foregoing table gives Maj. Nc
Kinley 2S7-l3 more than are necessary.
1t is to be presumed that the Herald OBJ
tanned the list from Maj McKinley's man
ayers, and that it contains the states
which he has the best chance of carry
ing. But is it certain that Maj. McKin-
ley will carry all the foregoing states ,
Is 1t not fact that there is grave doub.
about his carrying Illinois, Indiana, Ken

should lose Illinois, and carry no state
outside of the list, he would be defeated.
or If he should lose Indiana or Kentucky
and any one of the other states, even
Delaware, he would be defeated.
tits apparent, therefore. why Mr.. Hanna
is giving out no estimates, and why he is
continually cautioning his lieutenants
against overconhdence. He knows the
battle is not won, and that he may suffer
defeat instead of winning a victory.

France abominates a monarchy for home
purposes. but dearly loves one for Russia
The French are as fond of ribbons, laces
gold braid, titles and decorations as they
used to be in the days when French mon
archs dazzled the world with the splendor
of their courts, but they do not love the
autocratic power that usually goes along
with the gauds and fnery. One of the
anomalies of end-of-the-century politics is
the close friendship between France, a gov
eminent by the people, and Russia, a gov
eminent by one man-republicanism arm
in arm with despotism. At the same time,
the friendship between France and Russia
is no more incongruous than the friendship
between our own country and Russia.
