'S Trees.
The big tree is surpassed in size on
ly lv the eucalyptus, while the red
wood may claim the honor of being
the third largest tree in the' world.
The largest known redwood is three
hundred and sixty feet in height and
twenty feet in diameter. The big
tree attains a greater, diameter, but
does not reach a proportionately
greater height. Thus, There are big
trees leeorded as having a diameter
l iony-one feet, but we have seen
none mentioned "as being over four
hundred feet in height. The height
."! the largest known ecalyptus tree
is stated to be four hundred and sev-
nty feet, but the diameter is only
twenty-seven feet. So while taller
than the largest big tree, if their pro

dition of the cyclone sufferers, has
made his first report. - .
At Eustace place, on Ladies island,

Were entirely swept away, and those
remaining are badly damaged. Fifty
one lives were lost at this place. Forty
four bodies were buried in one grave,
with few exceptions the dead were
buried iu hastily prepared coflins, and
oh account of the water-logged condi
tion of the soil the graves could not be
dug deeper than two ieet. The efflu
via fumes from the decaying bodies
are fearful.
Dr. Babeock has ordered more earth
to be heaped on the graves and has
ordered a large supply of disinfect

(lovetnor Tillman's Appeal.
As Appeal to the People gf the United
States:
The hurricane which swept the .south Atlan
tic coast on the JTtti or August was unparalleled
in its severity. It spread desolation and ruin
throughout the entire state of South Carolina,
but the sea islands, spreading northward along
the coast of South Carolina, from the Savannah
river to the north Elisto inlet, were the great
est sufferers by reason of the severity of the
wind and the unprecedented height of the tide.
The sea invaded the land. Hundreds of houses
hare been swept away by the waves or blown
down by the wind, and while the exact number
of deaths will never be known, it cannot be less
than a. thousand. Vegetation has been as com
pletely blasted by the salt water as though it
were the breath of a simoon. What was a pros
perous and blooming expanse of rice fields, gar
dens and farms, is today a desert with the very
landmarks destroyed, leaving the people with
out shelter, without food, without the possibil
ity of getting work except for a limited number.
.10 confront the terrors of starvation until an
other crop can be grown. Owing to the fact
'that nineteen-twentieths of them are negroes,
and that means of communicating with the re
mote islands have been destroyed. I have only
within a day arrived at a clear understanding of
the situation and the misery it unfolds.
STARVATION AND PESTILENCE.
"" Dr. J. W. Babeock, superintendent of the
-state lunatic asylum, an accomplished physi
cian and sanitarian, who went to the scene of
the disaster on the 1st of September, as my
official representative, returned today, and his
report accompanies this appeal. I do not deem
it necessary to dwell upon the picture he draws.
1 have not ten justinea mmerto in asking tor
help except from our own people. .The people
of the state, whose losses by the storm will run
Into the millions, have responded .nobly, and
immediate suffering is being alleviated, but
.starvation or pestilence will claim many thous
and victims before the winter is over if our ef
iforts are not supplemented by the charitable in
other states. I pledge my official word that
contributions shall reach the people for whom
they are intended: that the charity which may
be given shall not be misapplied: that laziness
and idleness will not be encouraged, but the
money and provisions which may be donated
will be applied to the support of these people so
as to enable them to rebuild their . homes and
take a new start in life wifh the new year.
There are not less than 30,000 thus destitute.
Bread alone 1'or these storm sufferers will cost
not less than f 75,000 between now and Match,
while -practically eleven months will elapse be
fore they can grow any. Medicines, bed cloth
ing, anything that can be used in a house, be
cause everything is gone, will be thankfully re
ceived. We can buy these things with -money,
' but if money is not to be had, do not hesitate to
-contribute. Send aU money contributions to
me. They will be acknowledged through the
press, and will be put in the bank to be checked
against as needed. Send all other contributions
-to Central Relief Committee, Charleston, S. C.
My efforts to relieve these unfortunates are
stimulated by the feeling that being negroes,
ignorant and helpless, they are peculiarly the
wards of the executive. A common humanity
pleads with those who are able to help these
poor wretches in their destitution.

With Bishop Keener. "
DEALING IX FUTURES IS GAMBLING,
But He Dim Not Think It Affects tie
People to the Degree that the
- Bishop Asserts It" Does TUe '
Getting of Riches.
Atlanta Constitution.
Let us tote fair with the figures, ;
Bishop Keener sa3's in the Xashville.
Christian Advocate that "the mercan
tile world in the south is now "con
trolled by the wholesale gambling1 and
massive frauds of cotton futures;
that the centers of New York, Liver
pool and New Orleans have yielded to '
this colossal scheme of ha..ard -until
the production of the staple has no
effect upon its market value." i
He says that "during the past three
months there have been sold in New
York and elsewhere rfi,ooo,i.HM) bales of
cotton. This would be r."'4,(lM),(WMJ bales
for the year's crop. All. of this, he
says, "is purely imaginary vain; ex
cept the 8,000,000 bales that were
raised, and this ideal cotton that was
not made would yield .$7,$4Mmm,hm,
and this is the figuring against 'which
the planter has to make headway. All
the gambling dens in this eountryaml
in the liaden-liadens of Europe ..art;
child's play compared with this hug-e
monster that envelopes in its coihs the
fortunes and even the lives of myriads."
Gambling in futures is a sin. 15et
ting on anything is a sin, for it is a
mode of getting something for nothing.
It is demoralizing in the extreme, and
results in ruin to thousands of those
who engage in it, but I cannot see
how dealing in futures a4?ects. the
price of cotton,; for in its analysis it is
betting whether it will go up or down.
There are no rG,0(H).000 bales bought
or sold, neither real nor ideal. The
speculator says to the bucket shop.
" I'll bet you that cotton will go up
within thirty days, and 1 will put up a
margin on 250 bales." "All right."
says the bucket shop, '.'put up SjOO
and 1 11 take the bet." Cotton drops
instead of rising and the S.100 goes up
the spout and the speculator is a sad
der but not a wiser man. Another
speculator bet the other wa3r, perhaps,
-and won, and of course ' he tries it
again. The shop will bet either wav,
and like the dealer in a faro bank, al
waj's comes out ahead in the end. The
shop has no interest to bull or bear the
cotton. The shop knows its consumers
and the average of all the bets and can
hedge to suit. ;
Now that is the way I understand it.
It isl no getting up a corner on cotton.
It issimply backing a man's judgment
with his money. That .?.VK) was the
stake; and while it represented 250
bales, it was really the value of only
fifteen bales. Tills solution would re
duce the bishop s figures from 50. 000.
000 bales to 3.400,000 bales as the
amount lost or won in three months.
What it has to do with ilxing the
price I cannot see. Liverpool still
fixes the price, and has the India crop
to help fix it, and it seems to be uni
formly fixed every year in proportion.
It is the farmers really who fix the
price when they fix the acreage to the
crop. England-America agents still
examine carefully and cautiously into
the crop condition of every county in
the south. England knows the extent
and condition of the crop in Bartow
county better today than any Tarmei
in it, for she does not rely upon one
source of information but on several.
There . is not a buyer or dealer in
Georgia who does not rely upon the
last reports sent him from some great
house in New York that is connected
with English or New England mills.
I cannot see where the bucket shops
come in or how they .-can. in Huer.ee the
price. Millionaires' like the Inmam
put large moneys in cotton every yca:
and make money, for it is their busi
ness, and they understand it., hvtihey
run no bucket shops, nor do they make
colossal fortunes by speculation." They
back their judgment with t heir money
and are able to hold " their purchase:!
until there is a profit. I remember a
Charleston coffee merchant by the;
name of Samuel Farr:r who made in
thirty years a million dollars by deal
ing in coffee. He had a large map in
his private office, and it was checked
off in years and months and days, and
the price of coffee for every day was
marked, and a green line marked the
ups and downs, the rise and fall, nnd
it was a very crooked line. Then
there was a straight red line that split
the difference and showed the average
price for tht j-ear. Hrazil was the
market where he bought. If the "crop
was short he made allowances for it,
and raised the red line according to his
best judgment and his most reliable
information. ,'I buy." said he, "when
the-price is below that line. I sell
when it is above." Just so it is with
shrewd men everywhere.
I believe there is too much odium
heaped upon rich men too much ma
lignant abuse of mon'- kings and mil
lionaires. I reckon e rould all get
rich if we could eve., the preachers.
It grieves me to hear some of these
politicians trj'ing to array the poor
against the rich, and to stir up strife
and bitterness among the people. It
did not use to be that way. Men who
prospered were respected in my young
days respected by everybody, liiches
were not considered a sin. The scrip
tures speak approvingly of -Abraham
and Job and tSolomon, and tell us of
their great wealth, and how the Lord
blessed them. I believe that there are
good men now who are rich, and they
do good with their money. If they did
not I don't know what would become
of the poor and the suffering when
pestilence or famine or storms afflict
them.
But there seems to be a 'feeling of
unrest and bitterness among certain
classes all over the country. Some
body is making the working people be
lieve that, they are imposed upon by
the rich and by the government. I Fee

in a Uome paper that they have organ
ized in Chulis district, iu Floyd county, ;
"a bread brigade," and have 400 mem- j
bers and they have signs and grips
and passwords, and have sworu that
they "will have 10 cents a pound for
their cotton, debt or no debt, and they
will hold it at the' muzzle of a Win

it possible that the spirit of anarchy
and communism is taking hold of our
people? Bread brigade! Why, there
is not a farmer in Floyd county who
is suffering for bread. There is none
in this county. Corn is abundant
everywhere. It used to roll in here
from the west by the carload, but it
don't come now There are. hundreds
of farmers in ' Bartow who will have j
corn and fodder and meat to sell. Our ;
farmers are better off today than any j
other class in the community. They
come and go when thcjr please. They
have health" and strength and ' good',
water and are never visited by storms
or pestilence., such as have coine upon
the coast. They have cattle and hogs
and chickens and eggs and "garden
sas.s" and the schoolhouse and the ;
church are not far away what a pity I
they cannot for a little while look iu
upon the poor of Europe aud have
their hearts touched with gratitude
that they " live in this" blessed land.
Labor. is too , hard upon capital too
threatening too exacting. These
may seem strange words for me. to use,
but they are true. . I am as hostile to
monopolies and trusts and combines
as auybckly, but- when' I read of these
great strikes" n a time like this, it
shocks my sympathy. What are these
organizations anyhow, but monopo
lies. The -watchword of most of them
is "if you don't pay so much, we will
quit andi when .we quit nobody else
shall take I our places. That did not
use to be the law and how it comes
to be the , law now I cannot under
stand. .
But we are gratified to see such kind
relations between Mr. Thomas aud
his employees on our road from Atlanta
and Nashville. That is all right and
we hope it will continue. The mys
tery is how a railroad can pay its men
at all while iour financial system is
paralyzed. . There " is hardly enoigh
freight business now to pay for the
axle grease. 1 One day last week there
were only seven loaded cars going'
north jover this great road, so I was
told. Below-Atlanta there is nothing
to load and yet the lease of the West
ern and Atlantic costs $120 a day. Rail
roads and factories have their troubles,
and but few make a fair rate of interest
on their cost. The wonder is that any
sane man wili invest in them where
strikes and violence prevail.
. Now, I do not wish to be misunder
stood. I have respect for -all these or
ganizations where they respect the
rights of other people, but when those
employed on one road say to their em
ployers you shall ot carry any freight
that comes over another road where
there is a strike, their demand shocks
the judgment and the common sense of
mankind. When the strikers assault
and intimida te others who would glad
ly work, or when they allow violence to
be done and the track torn up and the
locomotives disabled it is simply an
outrages, on the law of the land, and if
persisted in. will surely bring this gov
ernment into a monarchy like those of
Europe, where it takes a standing army
of half a million soldiers to protect the
citizens and their property. The very
class who are now importunate for the
government ownership of railroads
should remember that strikes are not
tolerated among government employes,
neither in the army or naval or public
works or the railway mail service.
Strikers do not dare now to stop the
locomotive -and the car that parries the
United States mail.
Well, of course, these brotherhoods
have an answer to all this, and I have
read it all. Tapers and periodicals
come to me weekly that breathe out
fjimity to capital and are tainted with
communistic principles and in my opin
ion these publications are doing a
world of harm. They 'are educating
the working people to the idea that
there should be a division a division.
In the awful days of the French revo
lution three communists went into the
Bank of Rothschilds and cried "liberty,
equality, fraternity we have come for
our money." The Jew said "all right;"
1 have 60,000,000 francs in the bank.
There are (50,000,000 people in France;
here are yours," and he threw three
francs upon the counter. "Now go tell
the rest to come get their's," said he.
But we have not come to that, and
I hope we never will. It becomes all
our considerate people, whether poor
or rich, whether employers or em
ployed, to be reasonable and tolerant,
and to respect the rights of others
and teach others so to do.

Search lights have become indispen

One of the earliest applications of the

Formerly the passage could only be
made in daylight, and was very te

canal by light to employ an apparatus
for dividing the light of the projector

The House Adopts Its Kules and Takes a
Kent Senator Puffer's Extraordinary
Bill Mr. Stewart Speaks for
Silver MrKinler'i Hill.
September 4. The house was not iu
session today. . . -
In the senate Mr. Gallinger, republi
can, of Pennsylvania, introduced a bill
supplimental to the pension act of
June 17, 1S!M), and asked that it be read
in full and that he be heard briefly in
explanation of it. The bill was read.
Its most important provision is that,
except in cases of. established fraud, (
no pensioner shall be suspended or
withheld until after a notice of ninety
days given to the pensioner, and after
a full and impartial investigation.
It was referred to the committee on
pensions. .
Mr. IJn tier offered an amendment to
the"bill repealing the Sherman act,
and had it referred to the finance com
mittee. It provides for the repeal of
the 10 per cent tax on state bank cir
culation, .provided that such circula
tion be secured by coin or approved
state or municipal bonds. '
Mr. Allen, populist, of Nebraska,
offered the following resolution:
"Whereas it is due that congress
take cognizance of the labor organiza
tions and the industrial interests of,
the' nation by observing this day,
commonly , called Labor Day. there
fore, Resolved, As a mark of respect to
the labor organizations and industrial
interests of the nation, the senate do
now adjourn.
Mr. Voorhees opposed the resolution
and it was rejected by a vote of 8 to 411
The senators voting for the resolu
tion were: Messrs. Allen, lrby, Peffer,
Pettigrew, Power, Shoup, Vance and
Vest..- " ;
Mr. Kyle, populist", of South Dakota,
offered a free coinage amendment to
the repeal bill, and it was referred to
the fii.ance committee!. Mr. Cullom,
republican, of Illinois,j addressed the
senate in favor of the bill to repeal the
purchasing! a use of the Sherman act.
September 5. A resolution for the
daily meeting of the senate at 11 a. in.,
was offered in the senate this morning
by Voorhees, who said he would call it
up for action tomorrow.
An extraordinary bill was intro
duced by Mr. Peffer for the creation of
a department of education, the con
struction of a college of scientific
learning in the District of Columbia,
the appropriation of - &J0, 000,000 for
the purpose, and the further appropri
ation of 800,000,000 the interest of
which is to form a fund for the sup
port of the college. It also provides
that all educational institutions and
other matters pertaining to public in
struction shall be under the supervis
ion of the secretary of education. The
bill was referred to the committee on
the District of Columbia.
The repeal bill was, at Mr. Voorhees
suggestion, laid aside informally as no
senator desired to speak on it today.
The house urgency deficiency bill
was reported and passed with some
small amendments. -
Mr. Dolph addressed the Senate in
favor of the bill introduced by him ap
propriating 500,000 to enable the sec
retary of the treasury to enforce tlrj
Chinese exclusion act.
After the transaction of some routine
business, the consideration of the rules
was resumed by the house.
The first amendment presented was
one cutting off the power of a single
member ' to object to a request for
unanimous consent. It was defeated
by a bare quorum. Yeas 52, na3Ts 127.
A concurrent resolution for the ap
pointment of a joint committee to con
sider the question of finance, seven
senators and seven representatives,
was introduced by Mr Morgan, and
went over till tomorrow.
The speech begun yesterday by
Mr. Peffer was concluded by him
this" morning in almost' five min
utes, and the senate was addressed on
the silver question by Mr, Stewart.
Mr. Stewart addressed the senate in
opposition to the repeal - bill. He. be
gan his speech with a history of the
closinjg of the European and American
mints to the free and unlimited coin
age of silver, of the conference held at
Paris to consider the unification of
coins, weights and measures, and of
the demonetization act of 1873. Jle
intimated that Mr. Sherman's vote
against the bill was because he knew
it would pass and wanted to conceal
f t orn the senate a knowledge of the
fact that it omitted the silver dollar
from the list of coins. He claimed to
have shown that the leading members
of the two houses who were present
during the consideration of the bill
were ignorant of the fact that the sil
ver dollar was omitted in the confer
ence of the mint laws.
Septembeb 6. In the senate this
morning a bill was introduced by Mr.
Cullom and referred to the. finance
committee, for the repeal of all act
for the creation or maintenance of a
sinking fund. : . .
The resolution for a 11 o'clock meet
ing was presented and Mr. Voorhees,
who had offered it, withdrew it, stat
iug that he did so afterconsultation
with the friends of the repeal bill on
the democratic side who thought that
if the time of the , senate was occupied
carefully and conscientiously, as much
progress could be made
Mr. Morgan's resolution for a joint
select committee on finance was taken
up, and Mr. Voorhees having suggest
ed its reference to the finance commit
tee, Mr. Morgan argued against the
suggestion, stating that the purpose
of the resolution was to supercede the
finance committees in each 'house and
substitute the joint select committee
for them.
In the house Mr. Talbert, of South
Carolina, asked leave to introduce a
Bat
o
Pawdr
bill for the enlargement of the volumt
of the currency.
Mr. Brosius, of Fensylvania, ob
jected. '
The house then resumed considera
tion of the new code of rules, the pend
ing question being the Kyle amend
ment, striking ' from " the rules tha
clause making one hundred members a
quorum in committee of the whole.
Mr. Catehings expressed a willing
ness to consent to the .Kyle amend

September 9. The speaker called a
slim house to order to day, and it was
a very languid one, with no marked de
sire to transact business. . The only
action worth mentioning was a report
from the committee on elections, by
Mr. Paynter, of a resolution granting
the right to Mr. Belknap claiming a
seat from the fifth Michigan district
to file a notice of contest against. Mr.
Richardson, the sitting member. Mr.

A Little Sensation at the Catholic Congress.
. Klder's Paper. . , "
Chicago, September 7. A tremen
dous sensation was created in the
Catholic congress yesterday when the
paper written by M. J. Elder, Of New
Orleans, was read. Mr. Elder declared
that the church occupied an inferior
position in the country, drawing its
support from the hoodlum element,
day laborers and servant girls, and
that none of the great men of the . na
tion were Catholics. The Jews" and
protestants were in the ascendant.
Mr. Elder declared that he had no
heart for buncombe nd taffy about
the phenomenal growth and strength
of Catholicism. Two-thirds of the au
dience left the hall before the paper
was finished.

'Pay of Professors.
The salaries of the lower class of
professors compare with the wages of
the skilled workmen employed in the
mechanical industries, writes profes
sor W. R. Harper in the Forum.
The salaries range upward from the
general average of $147 compare
with the pay of skilled and responsi
ble clerical and subordinate and ad
ministrative employes.
It is only the highest class of pro
fessors, the incumbents of responsi
ble, exacting posts in the larger col

compared with the lower grades of
the responsible officers of a railroad,
or an industrial corporation, or in

- There is practically no class of col

of first or second rank and responsi
