Little Comfort For Democrats.

The democl attic papers which have been telling their readers that the re- turns of the late election are full of encoura cement for democrats" have way of dealing in generalities without descending to figures. This is wise, too, for the returns themselves contain very little comfort for the democracy.
 A comparison with the results of the Mckinley election shows the loss of Maryland, with eight votes in the cleo toral college, but that is more than offset by the gain in Colorado. Idaho and Montana, with a a total of eleven votes. A comparison with the election of 1899 shows the loss of Kentucky, which in turn is offset by the gain of Nevada, Colorado. Utah Montana and Idaho.
 Precedents do not always govern, of course, but it is worth while in this connection to remark that ever since the organization of the republican par ty that party has won in the presi- dential election which at the preceding election carried those states which had a majority of the electoral votes-with enc exception. In the election pre- Ceding the election of 1876 the demo- crats carried enough states to com mand a majority of the electoral votes, but this exception is modified by the fact that the republicans had some difficulty in seating MT Hayes; and We believe that some democrats do claim that MT. Hayes was not elected.
 In other words history for half a century shows that. while 1t is nothing unusual for the party in power to lose the general election held in the middle of a presidential term, the elections of the years immediately preceding the presidential years give a good fore cast of the vote for president
 We are sorry that it is our duty to dispel democratic hopes for democrats ought to be entitled to hope between elections.

A Rare Type of Preacher.

The looseness of talk which aff1icts by a statement made by Rev F. A Strough before the Young Mems Chris tian association in Cincinnati, a week ago, when he said that the late Rob- ert G. Ingersoll committed suicide by poison. Subsequently, when pressed for his authority by the newspapers. Rev. Strough gave the name Of a Rev. Dr. Agnew of Philadelphia. Col h. gersoll has been dead for a number of years. and there has never been any reason to. doubt that he died of apo plexy, as certified to by his physicians at the time. Why the feelings of the Ingersoll family should be wounded so cruelty as was done by MT. Strough's statement. only those can surmise who are always ready to make any sensa- tional statement from the pulpit if it will only attract attention. It is the good fortune of the churches, however that preachers of the Strough class are very rare.
 With admirable taste and spirit which was truly Christian, nearly all the ministers in the country refrained from unkind comment in their sermons when Col. Ingersol died and it has been left for the Cincinnati preacher to indulge in islander at this late day.

It is quite in keeping with the ethics of the profession for ticket scalpers to rob their customers by turning out to them in change Mexicaan dollars worth less than 50 cents each. as they are doing exclusively, according to the Railway Age. Men who forge sigma lures. alter tickets and deal in stolen property. of course, will not hesitate to swindle tho-e who support them, and the men who buy the fixed tickets and who cheat the roads by false i'm personaticns are not in good position to cry, Stop thief! The amazing thing Is the fact that lawmakers who profess to disprove of dishonesty and swindling when individuals are victims. refuse to prohibit such operations when rail- reads are interested.

told Dr. Morell Mackenzie his throat never felt we'll after that.
 The disease had so far progressed in the larnyx by Feb. S. 1888, that an ope- ration was necessary to prevent sui location. Accordingly, the throat was removed.
 The following statement was then is- sued from San Reno, where the crown prince was staying:
 Although there are no symptoms of laryngitis the crown prince will keep in bed for some days. pr. Mackenzie will remain here until the patient is out of danger.
 "The principal thing necessary to guard against is bronchitis.
 "The physicians are pleased with the results of the operation and are con- fident of the patients speedy recov- cry"
 Returning to Germany the crown prince went to Ems and there stayed some weeks.
 Several German specialists examined the royal patent ana TedcneQ lne CCH- clusion that he was suffering from cancer of the larynx.
 They advised an immediate opera tion. Sir Morrell Mackenzie was sum- moned from London. and on May 21 he removed a portion of the diseased tis sue and sent it to Professor Virchow for pathological examination.
 The result of the examination was kept a secret. misleading statement was given out. The following cable gram appeared in the New York Her aid by request of the attending physi- clans:
 There is no indication of cancer or of any dangerous growth. There Is, in fact, nothing to create the slightest anxiety.
 "The obstruction which caused so much anxiety is simply a wart-like growth equally as harmless as finger wart. The princes throat trouble is of several years standing and does not affect his general health"
 Notwithstanding these statements from the experts the cancer steadily and on June 15. 1888. Elm Deror Frederick died, having reigned only a hundred days.

The Kaiser's Throat.

As we predicted, the reassuring bull letins issued by Emperor Williams physicians have not removed the gen. eral fear that the kaiser maye be suf- fering from cancer. The public re- members that in other notable cases the doctors either have been unable to diagnose the disease in its early stages or they have deliberately mis- led the public. The history of Gen. Grants case has been cited by the New York World as a case in point.
 It Is pointed out by our New York contemporary that the truth about General Grants condition was very slow in reaching the public. A sore developed on one side of his tongue in the summer of 1884 but no alarm was experienced for months. The people were kept in ignorance of the nature of the malady.
 Drs. J. H. Douglas and Fordyce Bar ker. eminent specialists, attended Gen. Grant. TC them pr. George F. Shrady applied for information about the general. They assured him that there was no sign of cancer.
 ThereupOn, on Feb. 21, 1885, the Medi- cal Record, of which Dr. Shrady was editor went into a history of the case as given by Drs. Douglas and Barker, and concluded.
 We are gratified to learn from his attending physicians that all these signs of epitheliom have passed away; that the ulcerated surfaces have heal ed, and that the adjoining tissues have Tegained their natural suppleness"
 This statement lulied the public into hope for the continued life of Gen. Grant, but it did not satisfy Dr. ticn of the distinguished patient and found that he was suffering from true cancer.
 Accordingly, on March :, 1885. the Medical Record published the facts announcing that cancer was the real trouble.
 Some time afterward Gen. Grant was removed to Mount McGregor, in the Adirondacks, where he died.
 The true nature of the cancercus malady which killed Emperor Fred erick of Germany was also long with held from the public.

Dearman, a young white man,
was shot this evening in a gamb

corner of Church street and Ken

of this city.
The young men were engaged

man accused Thomson of sring.
ing in" separate deck of cards
The lie was exchanged and
Thomson produced a pistol and
fired one shot, the ball entering
the abdomen of Dearman, in
flicting, in all probability, a fatal
wound.
Thomson disappeared imme-
diately after the shooting, but
was subsequently arrested by
Chief of Police Dean at the home
of his mother on South Church
street. He is in the city station
house. When seen there tonight
he declined to make any state.

matter. He has secured as coun
tel Mr.. III. l.. Bomar.
Medical aid reached Dearman
short while after he was shot,
and the wounded man was car
ried to sleeping apartments in
the building next to the gaming
room. The physicians ministered
to his sufferings, and several
hours later he was carried to the
home of his parents in the West
End section. Late in the night
the physicians will endeavor to
extract the ball from his stomach.
They regard his condition as ex-
ceedingly grave
Dearman is a member of a
well-known family here, his
father being one of the oldest

THE REAL MENACE IN
THE COTTON SITUATION
Continued from First Page.

UuSrS Is III emu 10 ali InlnSSs
and sooner or later it will be
realized that what is now a god
send may bring about disaster.
The world must have cotton.
If it cannot get enough from the
South it will get it elsewhere.
1t is true all efforts to find cot.
ton land equal to that of the
South have failed, some by rea-
son of transportation difficulties
and some from other causes,
climatic and otherwise. Man
is ingenious and persevering,
however, and should a cotton
famine extend over a period of
ten or more years we will find
rival of the South developing in
some other land.
In the interim Americas
manufacturing is growing, and
it is confidently expected that
before other countries can be
made to produce cotton Ameri-
can mills will require practical
ly all the raw material this
country can produce under
present methods.
Today the American cotton
makes up nearly S5 per cent. of
the cotton that is grown. Egypt
grows long staple cotton that
is used in the finest of, goods.
India grows a short staple cot
ton that is used in the coarsest
of goods. America grows the
staple crop that is the medium
between the Indian and the
Egyptian, and is the great com
mercial necessity of the textile
world. There is a distinct rela-
tionship between the American
and the other crops, each hav
ing a bearing upon the other
and the Egyptian and Indian
planter share relatively in what
ever condition affects each dis.
tinct growth.
The curtailment Of the Ameri-
can crop will stimulate the East
Indian to raising all the cotton
possible, but that cannot affect
the situation to any material
degree. Neither can any pos
sible increase in the Egyptian
output alter the situation. The
whole world depends upon the
South.
We have been quoted as pre-,
dieting that within the next
four or five years cotton would
sell at 25 cents pound. This
may seem eXtravagant to those
who do not realize the extent to
which the sterilization of the
seed in the South has been car
ried or the extent to which the
growth Of the textile industry
and the use of cotton has de,
veloped. No one can accurately
measure the demand for cotton
who does not take into cOnsid-
Grafton the steady widening of
its uses and the hundred or
more industries into which cot
ton enters in one form or an
other.
If there is anyone who doubts
that to the seed the curtailment
of the cotton crop is due pri
mariIy and chiefly, | need only
refer him to the annual report
of George a. Morrison, presi-
dent of the American Cotton
Oil Company, which was pub
lished less than one month ago.
In it he says:
"The decrease in surplus
earnings of the American Cot
ton Oil Company is attributed
to extreme competition for cot
ton seed and the seed proving
to be of poor quality, producing
oil Of inferior grade and less
than normal quantities to the
ton -
