A SATISFACTORY OUTLOOK.

For the first time in years we a-e now experiencing strong, steady, advancing market in the closing days of the year, a market which, from its activity, it's breadth and it's gene. al healthy tone, is calculated to com pletely upset the preconceived ideas of those financial wiseacres and stock market prophets who bank on the idea that the closing days must of necessity be the saddest days of the year. A substantial advance has talk en place in the eastern stock market during the past week, and in the opin- ion of mary prices are now lpp"oacl- ing level that will induce realiZa- tions unless fresh stimulus ito the rise is obtained. One of the most favorable features in the situation is the way railroad earnings keep up. Railroads are now having their full share of the new prosperity. Earn ings both net and gross are showing the most gratifying gains. The uni- foTmity and steadiness of these gains is something very unusual. For the last three months the seventy-fye or eighty roads reporting their earnings each week have shown gains of from 10 to 30 per cent. Very few roads re- ported declines and those are unim- portant.
 As result a few dividends aave in creased and others are sure to follow If the reads refraiL from rate cut ting. A most important factor is that money is easy. Easy money has a decided influence in the speculative markets. United States bonds and British consols are selling at the highest point in their history. Capi- tai is fast absorbing the better class of investments, and must shortly turn to a more speculative field for investment, and there is a no more promising field than railroad and mining securities in this country.

 ending by being indicted himself, it would be hard to find. It would ap- pear that Dr. Hughes has not sud ed the scripture With good effect up3n his own character. or he would have discovered long since that his con stant effort to destroy the good name and character of othsrs would sooner or later fall crushing upon his own head. It has come at last, and all on account and as the result of his trying to injure others.-Tucson Star.

YELLOW FEVER.


The fever situation is considerably
worse than it was week ago, and it
has changeu the opinion Of those who
thought that it would diminish in
stead Of Increase as the month aa-
vanced, but they are now wondering
where it will be reported next.
The fever at Memphis is a terrible
blow to that clty,-a city that was
proud of its sanitary condition-and
publicly said that no fever could
exist under such conditions. Under
these conditions the authorities were
confident and failed to have q strict
quarantine-and the result is that
yellow fever has gotten into that
place, and will stay there until after
frost. The mortality will be greater
among the fever-stricken than if it
was earlier in the season, and they
are having the weather that is almost
fatal to any who may take the fever.
New Orleans is now over the 1900
mark, and in one day this week 20
new cases were reported. For every
twenty-four hohrs during the week
from 35 to 20 have been reported,
Nothing but extreme cold weather
will stamp it out.
The many other places where fever
is prevailing, can only hope for the
time when frost and cold weather
will come to their relief.

A Charlotte. N. e., special to the

says:
Yesterday. while passing through
Atlanta, 1 stopped over TO visit the lit
tie 6-acre tract of land near that city
which is becoming famous as the loca-
ton of the first crop of n "new kind of
cotton" said TO be the most wonderful
species ever discovered. 1t is limbless,
but very tall, some of the stalks fully
10 feet high and avera ging throughout.
6 feet. The one trunk is thickly stud
ded from near the ground up with
bolls, much larger than the bolls of the
ordinary species, and these are filed
with beautiful grade of the white
staple. numbering several hundred to
each p!ant--ihe average. l believe the
owner (Mr. Jackson) stated, being
from 800 to 500. The estimate is that
this cotton will make five bales to the
acre, or ten times the yield of common
cotton on rich land. There are only
six acres of the present crop, the re-
suit of Mr.. Jaekson's planting of all
the seed he raised from the few stalks
from the original handful of seed given
him, or some one, by a traveller from
one Of the old countries. There are
two or three stories afoat as to how
these seeds got here, So far as known
there is not and never mas been any
cotton ike this in this country before.

KENTUCKY DEMOCRATS.

The political situation in Kentucky
is so mixed up owing to factional strife
in the Democratic patry that there is no
telling what the result may be. The
only thing the warning Democrats are
Likely to accomplish is the retention
in power of the corrupt Republican adj
ministration.
That Republican administration in
that State is failure is admitted by
everybody not blinded by prejudice,
and the contrary cannot be established
even by those who are willfully blind
to the shortcomings of Governor Brad
ley's regime. That it is woefully in
competent, if not purposely corrupt, is
proven by the unhappy condition in
which nearly all the State institutions
are known to have fallen. Why
therefore, anyone calling himself a
Democrat should desire to strengthen
the Republican organization Of the
State by tanning into destructive blazs
the fierce nres Of factional strife nc

FAIR WEEK.

The excellent weather we have been
having is ominous for that which is
to come during Fair week, for the
weather man who has charge of this
particular section of the country is
VIGOROUSLY uncertain and there is no
depending upon him from one week
to another.
We can only hope for the best, and if
the united prayers of the entire COM
munity avail aught we will have fair
weather during Fair week, which is in
the nature of an annual outing to the
people of this city and many others
from this and other States.
The Fair this year will be bigger and
better in every department and more
interesting, especially in the matter OF
horse-racing, than it ever has been and
it is something that thousands of peo-
pie are looking forward to as they
would to an outing at the seashore OIL
in the mountains and it will be quite
as enjoyable and a good deal more
profitable, without the expense.
