"Until the nesrro becomes possessed or property interests large enough to ' make him a substantial element in the mmmnnitT we shall insist in denying him the right to jeopardize our inter ests and retard our material growth by his vote." Negro suffrage is not now a sub - iect of agitation in Georgia. It has been discussed some, but a proposi- tion to can a constiiuiiioii&i cunveu- .as to eliminate a part of the negro vote was defeated in the last Legis latnrfi. twvAiisft its omionets deemed j it it unnecessary, as the white men hare held control of that State for years, and the negro voter is not re garded as a troublesome or danger ous factor. And yet, although in the minority now, and pretty well under control, it may become a seri ous factor at any time. As the neighboring States restrict suffrage, Georgia will be compelled to do it as a matter of necessity and for self Dreaeivation. With re- stricted suffrage adopted in Virginia, Georgia and Florida will be the only States in the tier of States between the Potomac and Texas which will be without it, and both of these will he compelled to adopt it. The drift of the negroes is now and will continue to be from the more Northern of the i Southern States to the more South ern, where there is more demand - for their labor and the conditions are more congenial. This will also be the drift of ambitious negroes who aspire to leadership in States where restricted suffrage does not neutralize the negro vote. It would be pretty safe to predict that the negro vote will increase in those States and ultimately become a po . tent factor, unless it be offset by white immigration as it has been in . Louisiana, where, however, quali fied suffrage prevails, -and is, doubt less, one of the reasons for the large immigration from tha North and West, especially, the ; latter section where the negro isn't any more pop ular than he is in the South. Look ing to the .future Major Bacon prob ably anticipates this and regards the elimination of the negro vote by his State a matter of wisdom and of necessity. Asked the further question what he thought would be the effect of disfranchisement on the'Democratic party, he said it might and prob ably would result in some new party alignments, as questions have arisen on which there is a difference of opinion among Democrats. What this may amount to may be a mat ter of speculation, but the fact is some of the gentlemen who are laboring to organize a party which will be more in accord ..with some, at least, of the policies of the Be publican party as represented by . Mr. McJunley and Mark Harm a, are; using the elimination of the Hi.! m it arguments, and- justifications for taking the new departure. They do not hope to build up a party with Democratic following enough ,to outvote the regular Democratic party. If they expect or hope to do that it will be with the assist ance of the white Bepublican and the negro vote. - That is the only way they can ever succeed. : Suppose such a party organized in a ' State like , Georgia, wouldn't the negro vote become a serious factor then? " Far more serious than it ever was. for it wonld ha . nflOTrtA IaA nn by white Bepnblicans; . who as a rule do not stand much higher in public, esteem than the negroes,' but by men who claim . to be ; ''Democrats," so that the -contest - would 'be one be tween Democrats with whites voters and "Democrats" marshalling negro .voters.;.

The only requisite in. any of the States which have adopted qualified suffrage, besides reading and wri ting, (and in some of the States showing that the vote who" 'offers to register understands such clauses of the State constitution as may be read to him,) is paying poll tax. Suchlqualifications any negro who really desires can comply with in a short time, the result being that remodellinsr of the suffrage laws' and making them more rigid may in time become a necessity in several of the Southern States. This Major Bacon doubtless fore sees and contends for a property .as well as educational qualification, has the candor to say so, to aoknow-. ledge the motive of it, and the wil lingness to accept the consequence if it be reduced representation in Congress, which is a small matter compared with preserving honest, respectable white government in the Southern States. - IRISH POTATOES. According to the latest estimates the Irish potato crop of this country will be -100,000,000 bushels short this year, which means a scarcity of an article that forms a part of the daily food of nearly every family in the country, and of course, the prices, which are already twice or three times as high as ordinarily at this season, will be still higher, un til they get beyond the reach of the ordinary wage-earner. In some of the Western cities, in the great potato-growing sections, they now sell at 2 a bushel, four times the usual price at this season- That's about the price here for potatoes grown in this section. - Commenting on this the Charjotte Observer expresses surprise that ------- a North Carolina farmers do not give more attention to this crop, and thinks the reason may be the difficulty of saving the crop after it is dug. This is a reason given by some but there are North Carolina farmers who cultivate this crop . and find no more trouble in saving it than the potato growers in Iowa or Illinois do. As fine potatoes. as we have ever eaten, we ate in the middle of winter and they were grown in Buncombe conn ty. The fact is the Irish potato f Or winter keeping has been a neglected crop, and our farmers who do not grow it for winter use, have simply taken it for granted that it will not keep, and as a result nearly every town in the State is dependent on the North for supplies of potatoes for Fall and Winter use, when with some attention and some effort, enough could be produced in our own State, if not in one section in another, .to supply the demand, which in the aggregate is large, and means many thousands of dollars sent ; to Northern potato growers, which should go into the pockets of our own if we had them. THSEATSsTXB FAKOIE. We have had reports from time to to time abdut crop failures in Bussia, but the latest report telegraphed from Moscow that the area of the stricken district embraces more than 500,000 square miles, inhabited' by 43,000,000 people, is the worst that we have had. A large portion of this territory was once fertile land but has been worn out by wretched farm ing, planting the - same crops year after year, never using manures or fertilizers of any description. It is said that in much of that region, it is impossible to produce good crops of any kind, and that the inhabi tants are always in danger of at least partial famine, and this means more than mere famine for it is always followed by diseases of a fatal char acter. . Are there have been - wheat fail; ures in other countries across the seas, some oi which will be com pelled to import enough to make up the deficiency, this ' will mean high er priced wheat in this country be cause ordinarily Bussia could spare them considerable wheat,' whereas now she will need all she has, if not more to feed her own people. For- unately the wheat' crop of ' this country a record breaking one, ex ceeding all previous crops by from 50,000,000 to 75,000,000 bushels, and fortunately, too, we have raised more wheat in the South than usual. With the outlook now the wheat grower may count pretty safely on dollar wheat. .. Col. McClure credits the phrase "mudsills ,- of society" to Senator Hammond, of South Carolina, in a speech' referring to Northern me chanics. He said it, but it was a slip of the tongue. He intended to have said ."groundsills." But it was a bad slip and made thousands of votes for: the Bepublican party in i860, : ' for the Bepublican organs took it up and played it for all it was worth. . ..

Hawaii's demand for tariff protection in coffee-raising is ridic ulous. If it cannot compete with Brazil in that product, let it raise something else. If coffee is to be taxed at all it should be for revenue only, as tea is taxed; and the way to do that is through -the Internal Rev enue laws, treating the imports from all parts on even terms. Brooklyn Citizen, Dem.

England has had undisputed possession of the Island of Malta since the beginning oi the nine teenth century, but a hundred years have not sufficed to stamp out the native language nd effect a "benevolent assimilation" of the 180,000 inhabitants. The Maltese speak a corrupt Arabic dialect, with a strong admixture of Italian and other words, and they are still tho roughly attached to this mongrel speech. The discontent of the natives with the efforts now being made to enforce the use of the English language is so great that they have taken to tearing the Union Jack to pieces and disfigur ing the statue of Queen Victoria to show their distaste for and de fiance of British authority.

Raleigh News and Observer: As terrible, almost, as any of the seven plagues of Egypt has been the plague of mosquitoes that visited some of the eastern counties of North Carolina this Summer. They stung people to the point of positive torment and in some places rendering wora- in toe fields an impossibility; they drove cattle so far into the bays and streams that they were drowned; caused sheep and calves to run themselves to death in an attempt to escape their attacks. At nights fires had to be built about residences, stables and cattle yards that the smoke might drive off enough. of the mosquitoes to make rest or sleep possible. One man who has recently visited some of. the coast counties says: I saw cattle patiently huddled about smoking stumps in the darkness. hue the houses. in which people lived were filled with the smoke of burning rags. The very air was alive at night with the little singing pests. No living thing seemed to escape their sharp bills, though perhaps cattle and horses suffered most, because least able to defend themselves." The re ports of greatest damage come from Hyde county, where the soil, vegeta tion and drainage are especially favor? able to the mosquito. About 800 horses have died there from disease inoculated into the sytem by the mos quito and quite as many are now sick. It is estimated that already the loss to the farmers of the county amounts to twenty thousand dollars, and it will reach much higher figures unless the disease can be speedily checked. urop reports lor August, now being received at the Department of Agriculture from its correspondents throughout- the state, are not very encouraging.

STEEft RUINED A BULLFIGHT. V ; Texas I.onshon .Had Ides of Sport s and Cfcanared- the ProStwnme,: A resident of DeB Moines was a. wit ness to a Spanish bnUfight . at Seville; Spain, a iew years ago in which "one of the animals in the amphitheater ' was a: Texas steer. A steer, he says, willnev er attack a horse or a man on horseback. A man on foot ne may: kill, but a man on horseback he - wUl not molest. ,He also does not shut-his eyes when be charges, while a bull takes his line and then shuts, his eyes and charges, never deviating from the-line his sight gave him before he closed his wbs. This it is that enables the toreador to step so easi ly out of the way, for the bull, not see ing, makes no attempt to reach the man when he has moved from the spot he oc cupied when he bull charged. " "The only trial of the Texas steer, continued the lowan, "was pulled -off at Seville, and while they intended potting seven the first one they let' loose gave them all they wanted and quickly, brought that experiment to an inglorious finish. After the steer had cavorted about the ring for awhile they turned a horse loose. The steer paid no attention to him buf the horse, fearful of the unknown beast, -would not advance. . In came a helper with a sharp stick, and the steer, positively, bellowing for, joy. etarted, as the crowd supposed, tor the ' horse. By him the Steer went in pursuit of the. big ger game, and the helper shortly cleared the protective : fence, with ten feet to spare owing to the steer's able assistance. The representative ot the Texas cattle trade went over that six foot barrier as though it was a, prairie dog mound of his native plains, but the helper won out to one of the protective boxes and safety. . "The steer did his best to get at him,' but finding it impossible looked about for other game with which to . sport. The stone seats are ten feet above the ground, and this has always been an insurmount able barrier fora1ull,'but they reckoned without their Texas steer when they built them, for as soon as the steer's eye lit on the throng above his head he stepped back, and the next instant he was among them. Before the people could escape he had tossed half a dozen into the ring; but they were all rescued by the ring attend ants. ' The stone seats cleared, the steer returned to the ring, and, seeing no one else to throw down the gage of battle to, took the exact center of the ring and bel lowed his defiance to the universe.: In the meantime the - management - had been busy, and a. soldier with a Mauser rifle had been summoned from a nearby bar rack. With the box rail as a rest, he took steady aim, and with the ping of the bul let the steers life ended, but the Span lards have not experimented with Ameri can . steers in Spanish bull rings since that time, nor are they likely to again."

As can be readily appreciated, they are vitally necessary , to the carrying on of the department, and therefore neither trouble nor expense- is spared in keep ing them constantly up to date. It would be supposed that their extreme value and importance would be patent to every one, Some years ago, however, one of .the most valuable atlases was found with two of the maps' cut out. The maps had not been abstracted. They had simply been detached from the. bind ing. Investigation proved the mutila tion to be the work of a certain clerk. Who on being hauled up by his superior explained why he had done it as fol lows: Those books are terribly heavy and hard to handle, and so I cut the maps out in order to get at them easier. The atlases were very old, and I didn't sup pose they were of any value or that any one would care." To the state department an atlas is like a bottle of wine to A Judge of fine drinks Its value increases in direct ratio with its age. It was felt in the department that that particular clerk had mistaken his calling in life, and to him was accordingly given an opportu nity to pursue another one; New York Tribune. Care For Insomnia. I suppose all of us are suffering from the invasion of electricity. My old friend Bounce, who was a victim of In somnia for. 40 years, thinks he sleeps now better than any other man on earth. He lost his way In the Adlron- .dacks and staid overnight in the cabin of a forester. Ills sleep was the deep sleep of a just man made, perfect, and in the morning he found that he bad not moved half an inch all night. "If s the Insulation," the forester in sisted. "You city folks are klilin your selves with contact. If you'll break the contact you'll be able to sleep and get your nerves back." . This matter of "contact" was finally explained to mean that our bedposts are in contact with the floors, the floors with the walls and the walls with mother earth, so that whatever personal magnetism a man has in him goes away in the nighttime, leaving him like a log on his mattress. The forester had obtained four glass Insu lators from telegraph poles somewhere and screwed bem on the posts of his guest bed, so that the electricity could not run away. Bounce he yery day he got home Insulated his bed, and from that moment to the present his insom nia has. been banished. New York Press. Gaatloma.
