More Extravagnnt than Ever,

Signs are accumulating that this ses-
sion of Congress will be the most ex-
travagant on record: that millions will
be spoken Of and appropriated with as
little ado as II they were thousands.
and that there is likely to be a very
large hole eaten into the governments
money bags by this process unless
careful and systematic account be kept
from the beginning.-BaltImor Sun.

A New pnrtv AIirnment.

1t Is the opinion of the wisest and
ablest Democrats that the silver ques-
tiOn cannot again be made an issue.
New questions will arise upon which
parties will align. and party that cast
nearly 100000 votes. although defeat

tests. A party so strong numerically
need not despair of success if wisely

Give Evcrybody a Subsidy.

Subsidies can only be paid to ship
builders and shipowners by first taking
money out Of the pockets of all the rest
Of the people who are not in that line
Of business. A subsidy system to be
just must subsidize every class of citi-
zens. and equally. And nobody would
care to have such a system.

TEN CENT COTTON.

The planters of the South are just
now more completely masters of the
cotton situation than they have been
in many years, and ten cent cotton
seems a certainty in the near future.
Special dispatches to the New York
Commercial, from Galveston and
Houston, say that for the last
three weeks men representing
New England and European
cotton mills have been in
Texas buying new cotton as fast as
it came forward, and this week the
inquiries to secure suppnes have been
especially noticeable. Offerings are
scare and buyers are offering 11-16
cents for affection that can be deliy-
cred to them during the month of
September. $3.50
The Commercials dispatches go on
to say:
1.-The lateness of the cron is beyond
all calculation and there threatens to
be serious trouble in filling engage
ments 1t is known that freight room
for 10000 bales for September sail
ing has been engaged here, but the
engagements were predicted upon a
rather free movement in September.
''As yet there is no evidence of any
volume of cotton coming forward,
there seems no likelihood of the re-
ceipts at, Galveston approximating the
amount of ocean room engaged.
Reports from the interior are that
planters and merchants are excited,
and are firm in the belief that they
control the situation.
There Isl an earnest propaganda
for slow marketing of the crop, and.
with the remarkable advance of the
last few days as evidence of the
trades needs, the farmers are more
susceptible to this kind of argument
than they ever have been before.
1.-The price paid today at the depots
in the interior is the highest the pro-
Queer has received in the last decade
At the same time the price at the de-
pots in Texas is higher than the quo
ted price of the September option in
New York"

at Democratic gathering in Mary

Il am very grateful for the invita-
ton which you extend to me in the
name of the committee in charge of
the interstate political gathering at
Morgan's Grove to attend and to adj
dress the people on the issues of the
day on either September 5 or g.. 1t
would give me much pleasure person
ally to accept this invitation, but it
is impossible for me to do so. The
condition of my health is, | regret
to say, such as to make even jour
ney to Jefferson inadvisable and pub
lie speaking beyond my physical ca
pacity.
Long before it became an issue di-
viding political parties | took strong
grounds in addresses before students
of this university and in set speeches
before the Legislature of Georgia
against any colonial or imperial poll
cy on the part of our Government as
result of our war with Spain. My
views are stronger than ever against
such policies, and, did opportunity
permit, / should be glad to express
my views on the platform at Nor
gan's Grove"

FROM THE OUTSIDE.
Wilson News.

1t is not alone in North Carolina that
the refusal of the Charlotte Observer to
support Bryan, and the appointment of
Mr.. d. A. TCmpkins as a member of the
industrial commission which came quick
on it's heels, is being askance, but out
of the State the folks are talking about
the apparent payment for services rem
dered. The Southern Field and Factory,
of Atlanta, organ of the Cotton Growers
Protective Association publishes tele-
gram from Washington which says:
Some opposition has been aroused
among Democrats against the appoint
ment of Daniel A. Tompkins, of Char
lotte, N. c., as member of the indus
trial commission. The commission is BIZ
partisan and the claim is made that
Tompkins is not a Democrat. In 1896 Mr..
Tompkins was a gold Democrat. His
confirmation will likely be fought in the
Senate"
"The above telegram shows the cur
rent of opposition of business men to
politics being introduced into business.
The appointment did not surprise us and
its failure of confirmation will not be in
the form of a shock"
And the Florence, Is. c. Times, COM
mentlnS e0ltOrlally OH lHe HdlCcI Spcdho
it's mind in this fashion:
"Of course every man in this country
is privileged to think as he pleases and
to act in the same way if there is no law
against it, but we would have more faith
in D. A. Tompkns, Of Charlotte, the pow
err behind the throne of the Daily Obser-
yer which recently refused to support
Bryan, if he would cease to call him
self Democrat and declare that he
thinks with the Republicans that this
country belongs by right to the bankers
and manufacturers, and the people must
take what they chose to give them He
has had his reward whether that was
what he wanted or not, and his influ-
ence over the people is forever broken
and their respect for him is thing of
the past"
