outlook in the State.

! The managers of the democratic state
campaign have reason to feel gratifed at
the outlook. All OF the indications are to
the effect that the majority the state tick
ct will receive next week will be largely
! Increased over that Of the last election.
1t may, indeed, come up to Gov. Northen's
$1,000 majority. Northen, it will be re-
membered, received a large colored vote.
In that year the republicans were left
free to vote according to their individual
preferences, as they viii be this year. I'M
less something very unexpected occurs
before next Wednesday, Two years ago
there was an understanding between the
popuHsts and the republicans by which
Hines received the majority OF the repub-
lican vote cast.
Besides the support OF colored republi-
cans, the democratic ticket will get the
votes of number Of populists who have
got tired Of that party and other numbers
of them who are not prohibitionists. In
making bid for the prohibition vote, the
populists have not only weakened them
selves. but have weakened the prohibition
movement. They have weakened them
selves by forcing upon many of their fol-
lowers a tenet Of political faith in which
they do not believe, and have detracted
from the movement by alternating from
it for the time many friends who will not
submit to having it dragged into parti-
san politics. and who do not desire to see
the good results already accomplished
topped off with farce. Under the local
~
ties of the state have been brought under
prohibition-a prohibition that really pro-
hibits. The democratic party stands for
a continuance of that law, which is grad
ually making the state dry" That local
option is the best means Of accomplishing
reform in the liquor traffic is affirmed by
some of the leading prohibitionsts-peo-
pie who have seen various systems tried.
Passing by the matter of the prohibition
issue, however, 1t may be said that the
methods employed in behalf of the populist
ticket have not been such as to commend
themselves to the people. They have work
ed upon the prejudices of the races and
the classes. Their action in the Duncan
matter is a case in point They have also
circulated all sorts of sensational stories
for which they have failed to produce a
satisfactory foundation. 1t is vaguely
promised that they will have some more
sensations before election day. If they
should prove as baseless as those that
have gone before, they will only do hurt
to the party circulating them.
The people have taken the measure of
- "a =
be of too small size to be entrusted with
the government of a great state like Geor-
gia They have seen the effects of popu-
list rule in Kansas and Colorado, and they
want none of it here. The democrats will
be continued in power by an overwhelming
vote.

The second Pan-American medical con-
gress to be held in the City of Mexico,
Nov. 16 to 10 inclusive, promises to be one
Of the most interesting assemblages Of
the year. and at the same time will afford
tourists an opportunity OF visiting that
country at rates lower than any known
in years. The City of Mexico is reached
by the Mexican National railroad. The
Southern States Passenger Association
has authorized rate of one fare for the
round trip to the City of Mexico on ac-
count of this congress, and a large nun

Maj. McKinley's countenance doubtless

republicans. But then that is Indiana's
way. 1t went democratic four years ago
for ex-President Harrison's sake, and
now they are trying to induce him to
stump the state. Let him stump. It
may bring about repetition of the land
slide.

The Campaign of Education.
From Birmingham State Herald Dem.

The campaign of education has been
inaugurated and prosecuted, but not by
the republicans. The democrats have car
ried on campaign of education. 1t has
been the most brilliant campaign ever
prosecuted in any country and has had a
telling effect, If the republicans who
said Immediately after the convention
that Bryan would be elected were the
election to take place in a week or ten
days were correct. and we think they
were. then II the election were to take
place next Tuesday he would be elected
by an overwhelming majority He has
gained votes by tens of thousands in his
brilliant campaign.

Georgia populists are already making
extravagant claims Of majorities their
candidates are TO receive. 1t would look
as If they were preparing TO excuse their
defeat by cries of fraud" But they are
going to have managers at the boxes this
time, and they will have no opportunity
for such claims. 1t is a favorite fad
with the populist to claim everything un-
til after the election, and then say he
was swindled out of it.

Nikola Tesla, the famous electrician,
has achieved what he believes to be his
greatest success, the production of brill
liant illumination in vacuum tubes which
are not in mechanical contact with the
electric source. The machine represents
the patient and exhaustive study of years
in which calculations were wrought our,
which would confound an expert bank
accountant. The device is constructed so
as to make one hundred million vibrations
a second. Mr.. Tesla thinks this invention
will eventually be of world wide benefit.
and he sees no end of the uses to which
it can be applied. The light produced by
Mr.. Teslas new method is OF greater
brilliancy, as has been demonstrated by
photography, than arc illumination. BY
his new method the great electrician inter-
rupts a current of electricity 100000 or
100000 times a second. The result is
brilliant white light though the vacuum
tubes are disconnected and away from
the exciting coils. 1t is interesting al
ways to see what Mr.. Tesla has done.
There is no telling how soon we may have
electric communication with some Of the
Planets or transmit light rays without
wire and around the globe.

that the report Of the dissatisfaction OF
the Savannah men with their treatment
at Sea Girt was unfounded. The New

much good feeling, and it is pleasant to
know it is not to be interrupted" That is
undoubtedly the way the Savannah men
feel about it.

AGAIN CRITICAL.
THE STRIKE SITUATION AT CLEvE-
LAND, OHIO.
Five Companies of Militia Now at
the Scene OF the TrOubIes-Et Is
Not Believed the Strike Will
Spread Much Farther.

CLEVELAND. Aug. 3-The labor stu
alton in this city is again critical A
hundred and fifty non-union men went
to work at the Brown Hosting works
this morning. guarded by four compan-
les of militia and large force of police
A big crowd of union men was present,
but no outbreak occurred. The police
and soldiers kept the strikers moving.
The sympathetic strike threatened ever
since the strike at the Brown company
works began eleven weeks ago, was in
augurated this morning. Eighty-seVen
men employed by the Van Wagner &
Williams company hardware manufac-
turers, laid down their tools and walked
out. They said their only grievance was
sympathy with the Brown Hosting COM
pany's men. Committees were sent to
other factories to notify the men that
that the non-unioniStS be disarmed, and
If this is refused the strikers would arm
themselves and compel the non-unioniStS
to give up their weapons by force if
necessary.
Shortly after noon Director of Police
Abbott ordered another company of mi
htia to the Brown works, making five
companies in all. The director said he
had received private information which
satisfied him that the condition of af-
fairs was more serious than appeared
on the surface. A crowd OF union men
gathered at the corner of Hamilton and
ordered to disperse refused to do so.
A squad of police charged the crowd,
took into custody several charged with
violating the sidewalk ordinances.
All of the men who struck today out of
sympathy with the Brown strikers decid
ed to return TO work tomorrow morning
and it is not believed the strike will
spread unless the Central Labor union
takes a hand in the trouble. A meeting
of the Brown strikers was held this
afternoon, at which Master Workman
James O'Connen made speech. in which
he declared that the agreement between
the Brown company and the strikers had
been misunderstood; that it was inter-
preted one way by the company and a
different way by the men. He is report
ed to have said that the battle now on
would be watched with interest by the
labor world.
he declared. have armed to crush us.
We have duty TO perform-that Of self
protection"
The authorities are fully prepared for
trouble and squads of militia were sta
lioned in various parts of the city this
afternoon to prevent trouble when the
non-union men were taken TO their
homes.

w. j. Coombs, one of the govern
ment directors of the Union Pacific,
came to the city yesterday morning
in his private car, accompanied by his
wife and daughter, and last evening
the party were at the Knutsford. Mr..
COMBS is an elderly gentleman, about
so or thereabouts, and wears dark
suit with spectacles to match. He is an
affable man, too, and greeted the report
ers who called on him with a courtesy
seldom evinced by men who occupy
the exalted place which he occupies.
Government directors of the Union Pa
cific are generally austere and for
bidding. Not so with Mr.. Coombs.
Asked the purport of his mission in
this section of the country, he replied
that he was merely looking over the
ground which he covered last year to
ascertain if he could possibly have
made any mistake in what he said in
an informal report which he MADE OF
the tour. 1t will be remembered that
he was here last year, after having
made a trip over the lines OF the
system.
That is all in relation to the trip, :"
he said. Il merely wished to satisfy
myself of the conditions"
rs there anything new anent the
organization Of the Short Liner was
asked.
Nothing that 1 can state at this
time 1 will say, however, that the
Short Line committee is probably
waiting for a reorganization of the
main line, and when that is completed
the committee, headed by Mr. Carr
will doubtless do something. That is
all that l care to say upon this mat
term fact. all that 1 will say"
You are from Brooklyn, Mr..
Coombs?''
Yes, SIR
Without asking you as to your own
personal opinions concerning the finan-
cial question, what in your opinion
is going to be the result in the sSste
of New York;"
You mean as to the result Of the
presidential election?'
Yes, sir
well, to be candid, for the first time
in the history of the city, New York
is going against the Democratic ticket
in a presidential election; and l am
Democrat, too responded the director,
inadvertently quoting David B. Hill.
But my wife and daughter are wait
ing for me to take them to the car
and l must go. [ viii be here all day
tomorrow and will be pleased to meet
you"
And with that Mr.. Coombs escaped
