BERNARD. WILMINGTON, N.' C. Saturday' Morning, Aug. 22, 1891 COUNTING 02T THE CE0PS. The Republican politicians are counting upon the good crops to pull them through next fall, and well they may for they had nothing else to count upon. Tiey were trembling in their boots at the revolt amongst the farmers which had helped to consign so many Republican statesmen to the shades of private life last fall, and revolu tionized the politics of some States which had been Republican for a generation. The McKinlev tariff, with the ex travagance of the Billion Dollar Congress were more than they could successfully . defend, and the most observant of them expected this fall in the State elections a repetition of the disasters of last fall. They did not cheer up at the pros pect ot good crops until the reports from Europe showed such wide fail ure of the crops there and then they began to pick up courage and cher ish some hope. They knew that a large crop without a foreign demand meant a large surplus and corres pondingly low prices which would add to the discontent of the farmers and give additional stimulus to the Third Party which was corner-stoned on the distress amongst the farmers. And they knew, too, that in the Western States most of the disaffect ed element which would go to make up the Third Party would come from the Republican party. ; Hence when the reports of the failure of the crops in Europe, and impending distress in some coun tries were confirmed thrirhamc, . m - V I.O were - lightened, and their spirits became more joyful, not that they were made glad by the possible suffering of others, but at the pros pect of - escaping calamity ' them selves. They knew that this would make a demand at good prices for the surplus grain and meat of this countryand their eyes brightened when the Western grain pits became active and wheat jumped from the 87 cents of last year to over a dollar a bushel, and other grain in propor tion. They reasoned correctly that the farmer who was getting the highest price for the wheat he had to sell would not waste much of his time fooling with a third" party, or in discussing demands which in the presence of overflow ing granaries and full wallets be come ridiculous absurdities, the government ownership of railroads and telegraphs, for instance, when the railroads alone would cost $10 -000,000,000, to be paid at some time in taxes by the people, the govern ment warehouse system with nothing left to put in the warehouses, and the money-loaning scheme of Sena tor Stanford, requiring the loaning of money by the Government at a lower rate of interest than the Gov ernment pays on its outstanding bonds. . When people are in good humor and there is a prospect of prospering individually and collectively : they are more disposed to tolerate abuses m government then when they are pinched, find it difficult to make both ends meet and have to scratch gravel to pay their taxes, and possibly this may keep some farmers in the Re publican hulk who were disposed to to get out of it, but it would be a poor commentary on the intelligence or common sense of the farmers of the country if they would give the Republican party the benefit, and by inference at least, the credit for the rains and the sunshine ancl the abundant harvests which God Al mighty had sent them. ; The Republican party may be benefitted by this and it may not be The probabilities are that it will be benefitted some; but suppose there had been no failure of crops across the sea and no extra demand for American farm products with the immense crop of this year, over twenty-eight per cent, larger than last year, and over fourteen per cent larger than any year since 1880, re sulting in a much larger surplus, with no market where would it have been then? Instead of praising the Lord for i the big crop, the Republican bosses would have looked upon it as a calamity, and as far as the Republican: party is con cerned it would have been a calam ity. But the misfortune of Europe opens up a brighter vista to them and gives them at least something upon which to base d hope of not being swept from the face of the earth as a political party. MINOR MENTION. W. R. Vaughn, whose full name is AValter Raleigh Vaughn, an ex-mav or of Council Bluffs, Iowa, and at present a citizen of Omaha, Neb., who is booming or trying . to boom that 000.000,000 pension business for the ex-slaves, has got Fred Doug lass to endorse . it, although Fred's endorsement don't amount, to much in a $500,000,000 transaction. Wal ter Raleigh Vaughn tells people when he talks on this scheme that he has no selfish or: mercenary motive in it, as .he is a man of inde pendent fortune, while Mr. Fair- brother, editor of i the Durham Globe, who formerly resided in Nebraska, and seems to have some knowledge of Mr. Vaughn, savs he couldn't borrow ten dollars in the city he lives in. The probabilities are that he thinksjie has a soft snap m this busmessrand that with the endorsement of Fred 'Douglass, the confiding colored citizen, who ex pects to get something out of it, will respond liberally in contributions to work it up and, get it in shape to present to Congress, when, of course, it will be consigned to the "archibes ob grabity," never to be fished out again in this or coming centuries. With shrewd manipulation, however. there will be a chance for some one to make some cash out of the color ed brother in the meantime. According to the latest statistics of cotton spindles in use in the United States the total number is 15,497,302 as compared with 14.457.- 024 in 1899, an increase of 1,040,188 or about 7 per cent. In the South ern States the number. Is 1,955.323 as compared with 1,598,502 an in crease of 356,821 or about 22 per cent, within the same time. While there was a loss in New York, Ohio, and Connecticut, Massachusetts made an increase of 403,050, having a total ot 6,308,925,- about 40 Der cent of all employed in the United States and more than three times as many as are employed in the Southern States: The striking increase'in the number of spindles in Massachusetts shows that.she has ww w. UfUll' doning cotton manufactories and that she thinks she can hold her own notwithstanding the increase of cot ton manufactoires in the South and the many advantages they have. Speculation continues wild in the grain centers of the West. About the coolest man of all concerned is the farmer who has the grain to sell. Like Brer Rabbit, "he lay low and say nuffin," while the other fellows are raising pandemonium, selling and buying wheat they haven't got and don't want. While; some of those speculators keep cool heads and know what they are doing, thousands of them show little judgment or common sense, but buy and sell evi dently under excitement and upon the vaguest . rumors. Two illus trations of this "were furnished in the grain market of Chicago -Thurs aay.anain the New York cotton market, in the former of which the price of grain was materially ad vanced by rumors one of which was that the Russian fortresses wjere be ing victualled, which was construed as an -indication of ' imminent war, and prices went up accordingly,,-al though there wasn't a buyer or seller in the pit who knew, anything about it or had the slightest idea whence these reports emanated or .whether there was any foundation ; for - them. In the New York cotton market, where men are. not running wild, however, the price was advanced near the close by an article in the Savannah JVeits emanat ing from Mr Hunnicutt, Pro fessor of Agriculture in the State University, in which he estimated the Georgia crop somewhat lower than it had been previously estimated. He may have been, right, he may have been wrong. The cotton sellers and buyeis didn't know whether he was right or wron, but the price was affected all the same. With the few this future dealing may be governed by judgment but with the majority it is mere chance and these are the men who get hurt and ruined in the long run, who furnish recruits for the mad houses and subjects for the coroner. The coroner of Cook county had one Thursday, when Clark Woodman, of Omaha, de pressed by losses on grain commit ted suicide. There will be more of them before the end of the craze. If Alliance Lecturer Purvis of Ohio, isn't too free with his ciphers we don't see what's the use of Mc- Kinley fooling his time away run ning. Purvis, who says he has been feeling the pulse of the Alliance men and of farmers who are not Alliance men, says Campbell's plurality will be 100,000. He said this,too, before Col. Brice got that English boodle and the silk importers had raised that $500,000 purse. With the far mers kicking in this style,and all this lucre thrown in to demoralize and debauch the Republican voters, the Democratic majority ought to be about 150,000, more or less, so to speak. As McKinley is counting on a majority of about 25,000,the arith meticians must be on a bender out there. CURRENT COMMENT. LeDrOSV is not thf mrr child's play that some of our local authorities seem to think it. There are now four distinct centres of it in the United States New York, Chicago, San Francisco and New wficans. Ana stui tne merry China man swarms over the border. iV. Y. Advertiser, Ind. "Indiana," says a McKinlev organ of this State, "will collect from Europe not less than sn onn 000 of the S50.000.000 that will fc- paid for Indiana wheat this year." x-roDaDiy tnis estimate is not far wrong. It onlv coes to show that it is the European market and not the home market which keeps our farmers alive.

The time IS fast annrnarliimr when Secretarv Foster will h are tn take care of $50,000,000 of 4 ner cent, bonds: but as vet few hnMrc have given their assent to the pro position for an extension at 2 ner cent. The bondholders finri that their interest at the present time lies rather in converting their hrmrtc into cash than in accepting a beg- gauy a per cent, on the investment. The chief of the Treasurv DeDart- ment appears to have been self deceived in this matter. Phil Record, Dem. IS THE KAISER MAD? If He Isn't, Stuff Idke Thia Ought to Make Him. Paris Cable Dispatch. The Paris Eclair, which is rmt given to sensationalism, prints the following story as confirmed by un questioned authority : On the nio-hr of the departure of the imperial yacnt Jtionenzoiiern from . England the crew, was beaten to Quarters and was surprised to find the q narter ucms. umnanuy luuminatea. An altar had been erected on the r1rk bearing the Old and New Testa ments ana the Kaiser stood by wear ing a white chasuble with a ' r.ror.ier in his hand and a white and black mitre on his head. He read the most warklike passages from the Testa ments and invited the crew to re spond. He then preached along ser mon on tne duty of sovereigns to their people, the whole service last ing from 11 p. m. to 2 a. m. The crew were then piped below. At 5 a. m. the ( Kaiser appeared on the bridge in the uniform of a Hitrh Ad miral, looking extremely haggard, ana, aaaressing the commander, said: "Sir, retire to vour cabin: I shall take charge." The commander re plied; "Sire, permit,me to observe that we are in a dangerous ipassage, and that it is advisable for vour Ma jesty's safety, as well as for that of me crew, tnat a sailor remain in com mand." . The Emperor responded: "Never mind. God will : inspire . me." The commander bowed and retired. The Second officer remained the Emperor anerilv bade him rptii-A the officer respectfully protesting. The . Emperor then ; said: "You resist, wretched creature. You trou bled the spirit of GodJ which is in me. This is the vengeance of God upon you," dealing the officer a hea vy blow on the cheek. -The officer turned crimson, but remained until the Emperor seized him by the throat and tried to throw him overboard. In the struggle that followed the -Emperor, fell .-and : broke his knee cap. :-' The sailors watched the scene, paralyzed r with fear. The occur rence was one that cannot be for gotten. ' The Emperor howled with pain. His eyes started from their sockets. He foamed at the mouth. He swore terriblyj and, in fact, displayed all the symptoms of madness. The officers,1 after a brief consultation, carried him into a cabin padded with mattresses. Nobody was admitted except the doctor and the Empress. Men were necessary to help restrain him until his leg was bandaged and a straight jacket was put on him. The crisis lasted three days. AS TO MORING BATHERS. Why it is Better to Batue Just Before Go- ! - . lag to Bed. Dr. Robert Walter, in Laws of Health. Cold water is a narcotic, as alcohol is. It I deadens .the sensibilities of the skin, and hence prevents the sensation of cold. It relieves the disposition to chilliness because of this deadened sensibility, and as colds and catarrhs are due to hyper sensitiveness of the skin, we readily see that the cold morning bath pre vents the cold by reducing the sensi tiveness. But the cold morning bath does something more. It arouses ner vous activity by calling upon the vital system for increased animal heart. The contraction of the ves sels due to the cold is followed by a relaxation of them, explained by the principle of reaction, and so through the. cold both action and reaction are established, which frequently give delusive excitements to the vic tim. The tepid or warm morning morn ing bath is a great improvement over the cold water bath, but even these are not to be commended. Whoever would enjoy the best of health should take his bath two, three or four times a week, and retire to bed for a rest, thereby allowing nature to secure the best equilibrium of her forces and promote the best condi tions of health. But no bath should be taken while the patient is weary from labor or excitement. Rest is then indicated. The bath should never be taken on a full stomach, nor immediately before a meal, as further power is needed for other purposes under such circumstances.' HOW A KINGKEEPS COOL. If You Tried it Perhaps You Might Keep Cool Yourself. Although one may not keep cool, it is some satisfaction to read how others manage it. There is the King of Siam for instance. ! He is said to have in one of his country palaces a wonaenui pavilion, it was built by a Chinese engineer as a refuge du ring the extreme heat of summer. The walls, ceiling and floors are formed of pieces of plate glass an inch thick. They are so perfectly fitted together with a transparent cement that the joints are invisible and no fluid can penetrate. The pa vilion is 28 feet long and 17 wide, and stands in the middle of a hno-e basin made of beautiful colored mar bles. When the Kin? enters thenavilion the single door is closed and cemented. Then the sluice gates are opened and the basin is filled with water. Higher and higher it rises, until the pavilion is covered and onlv the ventilators at the ton connect it with the open air. When the heat of the sun is so great that the water almost boils on the sur face of the freshest fountains this pavilion is deliciously cool. And this is the wavthe King of Siam cools himself off in hot weather. It sounds very delightful. NAMING A TOWN. 1:h& Father of Seven Bed-Headed Sisters Started Aubmndale. New York Continent. The town of Auburndale. Wis.. received its name in a peculiar man ner. Years ago, when that section was comparatively undeveloped and iana was cneap, a man named King located there and built a mill. The place had good shipping facili ties and the mill soon became the nucleus of quite a thriving, bustling little town. Then arose the question of a name for the embryo little city, and by common consent the right of naming it was conceded to the first settler. Mr.. King. i "The citizens wanted td call the place King's Mills.but the old frentle- man objected. He said he didn'j want his name tacked on to any one horse or two-horse village. . "Now, the old man was the hannv father of seven bouncing daughters, ana me villagers suggested that the name ot one ot them should be given to the new town. "This idea pleased the father as jnuch as it pleased the seven daugh ters, but which one of the seven fair ones should be honored above her six sisters? The town could not De nanicappea with : all the seven names. T "Finally a happy thought struck the old man. Every one of his daughters was red headed. He decided to honor them all by christ ening the town Auburndale, and Au burndale it remains to this day."
