In his speech, Governor Tillman asked 'olonel Orr for h:s authority for saying that a preacher had said that he (Tillman) flaunted his profanity ic public. Col. Orr replied that he did net divulge con versations and added that T.llmiu knew he statement was true as he could ascer tain by appealing to the preachers in geh- al The Governor said that sometimes an o ah slipped out, but that it had done so only on one occasion during the cam paign. He appealed to tne lames pres ent to signify if in their opinion they : nsidered mm a blacKguara, out there was no response from them. The Governor then said that Orr or any )thcT nnu who said he flaunted his pro- i uiity in public lied. Col.

Tinman .iid he was not and Orr shook his finger in his fare and told him that he could not iatinviti that he (Orr) lied without bavins it thrown in his (Tillman's) teeth. He told him further that Tillman had boasted of being 4,Almighty God gentle man.'' The Governor said so he had, and Orr replied that He did not do himself cred- it when He made you. tie again caugni - -WW . - 1 A hold of the Governor and asked him if he meant to intimate that he was a liar The Governor said that it Orr did not originate the statement did not apply to him.

It looked for all the world as if blood was to be shed. Col. Orr stood to the rack aud told Tillman he had re- rjeatedly used curse words on the stand The Governor said he had not done it but once, and he would leave it to ex Governor Sheppard who, however, had nothing to say. The excitement by this time was intense. Col. Orr again caught hold of Tillman, who had turned his head toward the crowd in fiout, and told him if he wanted a fight he could get it The Governor said he did not and Col Orr went back to his seat, remarking that Tillman must let him aloe.

Edmonds, of Baltimore, gives in the August number of the Forum some account of the present resources and recent progress of ths South. The rec o d is one which every Southerner will read with pride and every other Ameri can should rejoice in. Ws can take only a few of the most striking passages in that record. The South produced 535, 942,000 bushels of corn in 1891, a gain of nbout 7& per cent, over the production in 18S1. The gain in cotton production wa about the same, from 5,456,000 bales in 1881 to nearly 9,000,000 bales last year. The gain inraihoadsis even more remarkable. Ten years ago the South had 23,000 miles of" railroad; now it has about 45,000, a gain of nearly 90 per cent , and the increase in the number of passengers and the amount of freight car ried has been enormous. Between 23, 000,000 and 24,000,000 tons of coal were mined in the South in 1891, only about 6,000,000 in 1881. The value of exports from Southern ports has increased Jrom $257,535,401 to $349,801,999, a gain of 36 ner cent., which is nearly five times the srain made at the other ports of the United States. The Southern output of iron is nearly 325 per cent, greater than in 1881. The gain in manufacturing and banking and all branches of business has been great. The assessed value of property is nearly two billions greater than in 1881. Growing Cotton in Connecticut. Putnam, Conn.

David is gardener for Benjamin Grosvenor and has a little farm of his own at Pomfret Street. He had been trying vainly for several years to make people believe his cotton theory, and tlrs year has verified it by growing cottoa on his farm. His crop is a email one, but it looks splendid. Johnson, who tended thousands oi seres ol cotton in the South, says that his Pomfret Street plants are quite as luxuriant and promis ing as any tnat are raisea in uixie. ne adds that, while the Northern season is a short one, the soil here is richei and the plants thrive better than in the South.

' ' ' " Alliance column. Interesting Reading df And For The Order. United States Senator Peffer, of Kan- on the Currency Question. Renlvinfif to your request under date of the 5th instant in relation to supply ing the place of national band eucu- ation, I hire to say tnai m my judgment the best substitute is wnai the people of Kansas favored fourteen years ago, namely. United 8t .tes notes commonly called greenbacks; for as you know, natinn&l bant notes are reuec.n able in United States notes. I think it wniilrl ir nbrtlish the whole 8VS- tm of bank note issues No OanKing institution should be permitted t- issue j anything which is to be used a legal tender money unless the issue is support ed by the power, and the material used, whatever it may be, should not oe re deemable ia anything. It ought to go out to the people as money, f ullfledged, ready foT duty, without any weight or impediment or conditions oi any sort, what ver. What we use as money should be absolutely free from all conditions, so that there could be no "runs" on banks in time of stringency, and no panics be cause debtors are unable to obtain legal teadcr money. I believe that the time has come to nalionalize our money. We took one long step in that direction when we adopted our national bankiug sys tem. We taxed State bank notes out of existence, substituted a national cuirency for a purely lo?al currency; audit was only a short time after embarking in this new enterprise until we discovered that the bankers of the country were masters of the financial situation.- We find that instead of serving the people they served themselves. In 1882 there were fd58, 00O,000of bank notes circulation Since that time about $210,0 0,000 of it has been retired, uot bee tuse the people did not need the money, but because the banks realized a profit from the sale of their bond at picpiium, the bonds that they had deposited as security for chcu lation. Our experience aud that of other nations has beeu that banking corpora tions are private schemes for profit to ind -vidual persons, and our observation has taught us that there isyonly one safe way to avoid the dangers to which that sort of financial management subject us; tint is for the nation itself to prepare its own money, every dollar of it, issu3 it to the people ' directly though government agencies, wholly without the use and in tervention of banking corporations or other private agencies. You understand Irani tne loregoing that I would not only substitute United States notes, or treasury notes, if you choose, for national bank notes as they are being retired, but I would substitute that sort of money forad bank issues; and I would do even more than that; I would not make money out of a promise to pay; that is to say, T would not wiite out a promise to pay money ana can rnai promise money ; but I would use a piece of paper just as we are now using a piece of gold or a piece of silver, and make that money, providing in the law what its functions shall be. That puts the influence, the credit, and the power of all the people behind the money. Then we will have gold and silver and paper at par, one with the other; and that, if we will reduce rates of interest down to the level of profit on labor, so that men can make as much monsy farming or blacksmithing or carpentering as they can by lending money, will give us a safe currency, a sound financial system, and no more money panics. L. L. POLK ON THE DOLLAR. . I believe .thit. both of the parties are afraid of Wall street. They are not afraid of the people. They say to me, "Don't you know you can buy more with a dollar than you ever could in the his tory of our country?'' That may be true; but suppose you owed f 1,000. Ten years ago GOO bushels of wheat would have paid the debt. Now it requires 1,400 bushels t pay it. Suppose you have $5, how much more taxes will it pay? How much more interest on your debt, how many more physicians' bills, how many more lawyers' fees will a dol lar pay? Will it pay four times as much as it did, and how will a dollar cost to get it? A tramp ran up to a gentleman oue day and asked him if he could tell him where he could et a good square meal. The man pointed out a place where he could get a meal for a quaiter. The tramp thanked him and started off, but had not gone far wh-n he came lunningback. "You were so kind to tell me where I could get a nice meal for a quarter. Will vou now tell me where I can get the quaiter?" And that is the way with the politicians: thev keo tellinnr m what cira tray ior a aonar, DUt tney no not tell us where we can sret the dollar. A bill has been introuueed in Congress making it unlawful for any railroad, steamboat, or othei transportation com pany, doing an inters' ate transportation or tarrying business, to transport or per mit to be transporter over its h'es any body of armed men. whether assuming to act as a detective oi police force or not.
