TO ELECTION OFFICIALS.

The last Legislature passed a most
important amendment to the election
law relative to the duties of election
boards. Under it the results OF elections
Will be known as soon as the count is
finished. 1t will not be possible here
after for election officers to seal up the
returns, pocket the duplicate tally sheet
and HE away and let the public whistle
for ten days to ascertain the results if
the new law is obeyed.
This amendment will also go very far
toward preventing tampering with Off
cial returns after the count is made
and the sheets are removed from the
polling place. But its greatest virtue
resides in the immediate publicity it
gives to the outcome of the election. 1t
is provided, Statutes of 1890, page SO,
as follows; THE board must also. be

the outside of the polling place, a copy

polling place; such copy of the results

shall be a misdemeanor for any person
TO remove or deface such copy of the
result"
The clerical authority which sends
out the blanks for use of election off,

DIR. BROUTGHTON ON THE NEG
ROES AND LYNCHING.

Rev. DR.. Broughton. of Atlanta, who
recently became prominently denounc-
ing Mayor Woodward, of that city,
preached Sunday at Hanson Place
church, Methodist, in New York city.
He chose for his text the words Of
st. Paul: whether therefore 20 eat
or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to
the glory of God"
When this principle il adopted, DR.
Broughton declared, th,re would be
rebellion among the business men in
the social world. and, most of all,
among the politicians, all of whom, he
said, "would be cut OF a job" He
declared that he was tired of the poll
ticians and bosses whom he called
lot OF stupendous frauds, but with
power enough to keep many good men
from being Christians.
'Iynching and other crimes in the
South are the outcome Of politics"
DIR. Broughton said. "The greatest
enemy of the colored man is the poll
tician. The negro has no political con-
sequence. He is absolutely for sale.
Every two years the politician rsaorts
to the negroes and arrays black against
white.
"The time will never come when the
white man OF the South will allow the
negro to rule him. The solution is the
elimination Of the negro FROM politics.
The only place where I'll 10 is

MARKETS OF THE WORLDLY

An editorial in London Commerce,
a recognized trade authority, champion
of monometallism for England, and
claiming the largest circulation in the
world, has caused considerable talk
among business men. From it the
following extract is taken:
Leaving the question Of tariffs for
a moment, let us consider what bi
metallist America will mean fer us.
The radical silverites are again 10 t.
shaling their forces in the United States
and are confidently expecting to elect
their president next year. Tns man
ner In which the gold standard press
of the United States is discussing the
subject would indicate that there is
great hope for free silver coinage. In
the FIRST place it will mean an immed-
late premium upon United States ex-
ports. The effect OF mining silver at
the proposed ratio would in all prob
ability bring about great boom in
m anufaetures of all kinds. Wages
might rise considerably, but the ex-
porience of other countries goes to
show that they would not rise in pro-
portion to the advantage which ex-
porters would derive who send their
goods to gold-usirg country, to-wit,
The United Kingdom. The manufac-
turers OF the state would not be quite
in the same position antage as the
agriculturists of the Argentine, nor the
exporters in India, but they would have
sufficient leverage over the manufac-
turers here to turn the scale in every
srade where now there is doubt which,
way the market trends. In tin plates,
many kinds of machinery, including
some OF the very heaviest, in leather,
and in many sundry manufacturers
where the British producer can with
difficulty hold his own, the effect of the
change would be decisive. Then this
policy is also bride to The farmers.
American dead meat:-live cattle being
prohibited-wheat and all farm produce
suitable for expectation would come
over in greatly augmented quantities,
for the difference in the exchange
W ould mean such an addition OF profit
that an immense stimulus would be
given all along tho line. As to silver
mining all that can be said is -that there
would be rush. The dimensions of
the movement would depend upon
many things impossible to foresee.
These anticipations of what has become
pc sslble are not, be it remembered,
ba sed on mere theory. We know al
ready Too we'll what to expect from
foreign traders in a country whore sill
yer is the standard currency. India,
ia pan and Argentina are all bearing
witness the insidious effect on British
trade OF conditions similar to those now
in perspective in the United States.
Meantime we cannot too soon face the !
possibilities and realize the true signi. |
ficance Of the position IS it is."I
Among American business men this
is considered substantial acknewledg |
ment that free silver coinage at o ratio
Of 16 to 1 with gold would give us the
m arkets Of the world, both for our
manufactures and our agricultural pro-
ducts.

mates OF the Soldiers Home, at Hamp-

fever there, that Surgeon-Gereral Wy
man felt called upon to "give out" an
interview, asserting that there is mo
doubt it is yellow fever" Despite
this. and the report OF the doctors who
have diagnosed the malady as yellow
fever there are many experienced
physicians and others here who are now
more firmly convinced than ever that
the whole thing was = gigantic scare,
destitute of any positive,evidence that
the dread :scourge had ever been ia
troduced OK gained foothold within
the quarantined district. The general
consensus Of opinion among medical
men OF repute outside of the so-cal'ed

they go on to state that 1.-The wife, father,

One more very noticeable feature must
be mentioned. and that is the prevalence

rarely sees an article of any length with
