WHAT A PITY.
The body of Jidjc Crisp was
scarcely consigned to its last resting
place before, with unseemly haste,
hungry aspirants were see King the
empty seat. Oeorgia is a great state ;
she is forging ahead in new lines of
industry, and developing her untold
resources. Energetic, wide awake
and far-seeing statesmen, such as ex-
tfovernor Northen, are building up
her waste places by drawing thither
brain and brawn and capital that pre
fer a more genial climate than that
of the northwest. Already the stim
ulus is felt by her own citizens and
new life is the result everywhere.
Even in politics she is no laggard, if
we are to draw our conclusions from
the appearance of the political hori
zon, as it now bristles with cloud
looking defiance against cloud. How
ell, Atkinson, Clay and at least three
others are willing to take the scut of
I be gallant Gordon as he lays aside
tire senatorial toga and retires to pri
vate life.
Time is short ; it won’t do to wait
to be announced ; modesty must rest
awhile, while ambition mounts the
1 aider and cries, “Here tun I; send
n.o!" We would it were different.
How much nobler to call Gen. Atkin
son from the executive department of
State and bid him represent bis great
state in ;he senate of tho nation than
to have him say, on tho eve of his
second inauguration os governor: “I
wish you would send mo.” It would
ihave been better for Evan J’. Howell,
tire great, journalist, hud lie tarried
•longer at his desk until his services
were needed and he invited to fill a
larger field.
A call to duty such as that is in
deed an honor. Are there not in
Georgia worthy i ons who would come
when called from their fancied re
pose? We hope s*o. And somehow
we would be glad if Georgia’s Legis
lature would find them bring them to
the light.
A PRODIGY.
The world has never seen his equal.
Bryan has shown himself the greatest
prodigy of the age. We may differ
from him in many of hisassumption,
and may not be able to bring our
selves to cast our vote for the Demo
cratic-Populistic leader, but wo can
not but admire tho man. Always
courteous,ever elfeetionate.he is equa
to every occasion it matters not how
circumscribed that may be. I5e he
in Tammany Hail, before a chautau-
quan assembly, pasHiig Yale stu
dents speaking from the platform of
tlie “Idler,” at t he end of a triumphal
procession or looking in tho eyi s of
a howling mob, Lryan is the same
evenly poised, ready personality that
we found capturing the Democratic
Convention at Chicago.
He is of the people and feels that
he is lighting the course of the peo
ple, and there he stands, lake a
Tribune of Romo lie places himself
before the encroaching politician and
bids him stay his hand.
Many of the elements of grandeur
meet in this man. Seldom is it that
the occasion and tho man blend so
harmoniously. Ho is the true ex
ponent of a sentiment that, has
ripened into a conviction and finds
ready expression, embellished as it
passes through his versatile brain.
Bryan, defeated or Bryan triumphant
is still Bryan, the prodigy.
THE CIRCUS A DELUSION.
The circus lias come and gone. Wc
are sorry it came, and us glad it has
gone. Only wish It was never <o re
turn. But that we need never ex
pect. As long us human nature is ns
it is we may expect the circus to
make its annual rounds, lays its
heavy hand on hard-earned dollars by
the thousand and leave behind a few
clownish jokes which, when simmered
down, lose theii point, except enough
to stick in the memory a hollow
mockery, or by inciting passion to
start someone, unweary, down tho
road that leads to despair.
Tell us, will you, what good does it
do? Are you helped or are you left
with an unrest that is not in accord
with duty well done?
The animals! How taking that is !
And the circus men know it and they
work it for all it is worth. It is thus
that men and boys, and even ladies
and girls are induced to exchange the
decked “no” to the yielding “yes.”
Only tho animals would I see, but the
wedge lias found an entrance, tho
cleavage has commenced and the gap
grows apace. “Touch not, touch not,
handle not.”
Wo are well aware that this is not
written in a strain to please tho
many, but it may be that a few will
take hold and resist the tempter.
UNCLE SAM TO HAVE HELP.
RECENT RISE IN WHEAT.
It Originated In Loinlon, Says the Hditor
of mi KuglUh Trnilo Journal.
New York, Oct. 27.—A dispatch to
Tiie World from London s’ys: A re
porter bald a conversation with Mr.
Rush, tho editor with Boorbohm’s Corn
Trade List, the standard authority on
tho market. Mr. Rush, who had just
left the Con: Exchange—where ho had
ascertained tho views of all tho loading
mon iu the trade—said:
“This rise, almost for the first time
on record, originated here, not America.
Tliis sliows that it conld have nothing
to do with any manipulation of tho
markets for any political or other pur
poses. Its cause is that after several
years of abundance, the people now rec
ognize this year is one of ordinary sup
ply. Owing to the previous abundance
everybody held aloof from buying and
the str iks ran down. Besides, the Aus-
traliai crop is pretty certain to be a
failure and there is the extraordinary
fact t lat India has become for the nonce
thouj ht to be, to u small extent, an im-
porto •. These tilings caused the recent
odva ice iu the prices.
,,r lie trade always goes to extremes
to s* rt with. A reaction that lias oc-
curr d was to be expected, but tho
caus ) of the advance remains.
“The mon of the most experience ii*
tho London market believe that wheat
is going to rule at 35 shillings (18.75) a
quarter (8 bushels in a quarter) because
4t is now realized, in addition to tho
other reasons I have given, that it is
not possible to produce wheat iu Europe
cheaper.
“If America could hold back wheat
for a mouth, it wonld go up 10 shillings
($2.50) a quarter. But I suppose tho
American bai^Jcs do not consider wheat
a commodity on which it is safe to givo
large accommodation, so that America
ia obliged to send on us fust as it cmi.”
How’s This.

IJolh Russia an<I Jspan Will Alii In tho
Protection of Par Seals.
Washigxton. Oct. 27.—It is stated by
officials that the United States will have
the co-operation and tho support of both
Russia and Japan in tho approaching
issue over establishing adequate pro
tection for the fur seals of tho north
P.icific ocean. Aside from the infor
mation secured by the commissioners,
Assistant Secretary Hamlin lias made a
report after personal inspection of tho
coal islands, stating that if modifica
tions of the Paris award regulations
were not agreed to “the fur seal within
one or two seasons would bo commer
cially extinct.”
Tho Japanese government stands
ready to join the United States in any
plan of seal protection, and is desirous
also of including sea otters, which are
being exterminated from the Japanese
islands. Tho co-operation of Japan is
said to be of much importance to the
United States, as the seal poachers and
pirates have been found mainly at Jap
anese ports. A largo trade with them
has been built up at Yokohama and
Nagasaki, and Japan fools it to her in
terest to suppress them.
Many of the Canadian preachers go
to Japanese ports and either ship under
tho Japanese flag or take out sealing
permits from the British consuls there.
Tho Japanese government want prohi
bitions made fur reaching so that no
doubt exists as to their desire to include
sea otters.
The Russian government also, it can
be said authoritatively, wonld welcome
tho extension of protection to seals. It
is pointed oat that while Russia owned
Alaska and tiie seal islands now at
tached to tho United States, there was
complete protection to tho seals and that
the destruction begun under American
management.
The Russian policy continues to be to
protect the seals on the Russian islands
of the Pacific, and they will be fuliy in
co-operation with tiie United Sjtatc-s to
wards any concerted action to that end.
RUN ON THE SUBTREASURY.
Aid From Clilcmgo nml Other Sources Is
All 'ihat Saved the Gold Iteservo*
Sax Francisco, Oct. 27.—Tho sub-
treasury has just pnllo-l through a rather
serious run, which threatened to anni
hilate its gold reserve and leave it with
out a dollar with which to redeem tho
perfect avalanche of greenbacks that
poured in over the counter. Timely aid
came from Chicago and other sources,
and when the outpouring of gold finally
stopped, the $12,000,000 of a few months
ago. despite tho frequent additions that
have been made during that period, was
reduced to a bare $4,000,000.
For once tiie subtreasury had on hand
more greenbacks than it wanted. In
two weeks’ time $10,000,000 worth of
them were dumped over the counters
and tho gold they represented with
drawn. There was something like $7,-
000,000 in gold in the vaults when tho
run commenced. Chicago was appealed
to for aid and sent $4,000,000 and an
equally largo amount was secured from
tne mint, while $1,500,000 in British
sovereigns recently received from Aus
tralia were coined into double eagles at
the mint and carted to tho subtreasurv.
Only $4,000,000 of the entire amount
was left after the flurry was over. That
has since been increased by the deposit
of over $1,000,000 upon which green
backs have been withdrawn, ami there
is every indication that the flurry is all
over.
Much of tho gold withdrawn went be
yond the mountains. Tiie subtreasuries
here and at Now York are the only ones
authorized to redeem greenbacks. Usu
ally the demand for greenbacks is steady
at tho subtreasnry hero, and the ex
change is almost invariably in favor of
New York, and it costs less to ship
greenbacks than gold.

Louisville, Oct. 27.—Tom Kelly and
Tom McKenzie, tho two least important
prisoners of tho lot that broke jail .Sun
day night, have been captured at their
homes iu tins city, but the prisoners
under heavy sentences, including the
United States convicts,are still at large,
with no clew in the hands of tho au-
thoiities a« to their whereabouts.
Judge Barr of the United Sta es court
is expect© i to consider the request for a
rule against Jailer Watts, made by Dis
trict Attorney Smith. In this request
the jailer is accused of gross negligence
in caring for the United States prisoners
and if Judge Barr grants the rm i it will
l.kely go hard with the jailer, who is
now under the odium of allowing a sim
ilar wholesale jail delivery within u
year.
