It's about time a new candi-
date (or congress was bobbing
up in the Tenth district.
It is now contended that the
United States cannot undertake
to construct the Nicaragua Can-
al without first consulting
England on the matter.
Tax St. Louis Republic thinks
an annalytical study of the $100,
000,000 shipping subsidy grab
will reveal a consistent policy
explaining just why Mark Han
na is in control of the Republican
party and Mr. McKinley is Pres
ident of the United States.
"I may be in error, but, in my
judgment, a government of the
people, by the people and for the
people will be impossible when a
few men control all the sources
of production and dole out daily
bread to all the rest on such
terms as the few may prescribe."
—W. J. Bryan.
If Joe Baily should happen to
break into the senate, Texas,
large as it is, would be too small
for him. Bailey needs about a
ton of conceit knocked out of
him and his candidacy for the
senate will afford the people of
Texas a fine opportunity to do
the knocking act good and
strong. —Baird Star.
Thx Brenham Banner reached
its thirty-fourth year last Thurs-
day. It is one of the oldest and

Tbi plan of a Baptist church
in Atlanta, ;Oa., to increase the
attendance of young men by ap*
pointing pretty young girls as
ushers, works to perfection.
Young fellows crowd the church.
It is a question \ for casuists to
debate, whether a man who
comes to church to be escorted
to his seat by a pretty girl is ex-
tending the glory of God.—Fort
Worth Register.
The Stephensville Empire
makes a plea for peace, and
adds; "Let us have an empire
of peace and industry, a nation
of united homes, instead of a
fabric founded on war and ra-
!**•, full of homes shadowed by
tilt absence of sons, brothers,
lovere and husbands, and for-
ever darkened, as already too
many have now been, by the
death of loved ones on foreign
fields. This is the sentiment that
011s the saddened heart of every
mother whose boy is gone to the
war—not for the defense of our
homes and our own land, but to
rob the homee of other lands,
and spread destitution, poverty
and sadness there."
The Denver Post admits that
the country is sadly in nsed of
wise and judicious legislation at
the hands of the present coft
gress, but predicts that the
needed relief will not be forth
coming. There will be no tariff
reform and none of the props on
which the trust superstructure
rest will be knocked out. There
will be bo reduction and none of
the war taxes will be removed,
for the expenses of the govern
meat have grown to such an ex-
tent under the policy of expan-
t and imperialism all the in-
born internal tax

CORRECT COTTON STATISTICS.
It is a generally conceded fact,
says the Stock and Farm Journal,
that the cotton crop of last year
was worth more than that of the
previous year, but a large pro-
portion of that crop passed from
the hands of the producer while
the legitimate advance was delay
ed by the wild and damaging es-
timates of Henry M. Neil. How
much Southern planters have
lost by his report of a twelve
milion bales crop, accepted as it
was in Europe as a reliable es-
timate, will never be known, but
beyond question the South is
many million dollars poorer to-
day than it would be had the
world been correctly informed
regarding the production of the
'99 planting. As usual most of
the loss fell on those least able to
stand it, the renter class and
the poorer planters, and upon
all whose crops were security for
advances. The planters who
were independent felt an as-
surance that when the facts be-
came generally known an ad-
vance was inevitable, and about
all the men of that class held
until prices had improved.
Naturally throughout the
South Mr. Neil has been con-
demned. The indignation of the
thousands who have been rob
bed to so grievous an extent of
the legitimate rewards of their
industry by the unpardonable
blunder, if it was no worse than
a blunder, of Mr. Neil, is simply
natural. It matters not that he
may not have sent forth his state
ment to the world ss one inten
tionally false. That he did so in
contradiction of all evidence is
enough to condemn him as a
most dangerous enmy to the in*
terests of Southern agriculture.
But to give place to the discus-
sion of Mr. Neil's motives is now
a waste of time. He has dose
his work, and the damage is ir
reparable. Wise [men should
take consel now as to how he
and men of his kind may be pre
vented from again inflicting a
like injury upon Southern pro
ducers. This can be done by
adopting some plan of obtaining
frequently through the season
correct statistics of the crop
throughout the entire section in
which it is grown.

wUl be at once be-
in* miiri Hoodoo.
"Artists are a queer lot," remarked
one of them yesterday as he smoked
pensively in bts Chestnut street studio
and gazed dejectedly at a half finished
■ketch. "I can't do any work today
Jnst because I dreamed of a redheaded
girl last night That lets me out I
can dream of any other kind of girl
and It doesn't affect my work, but if
the vision of my dreams has red hair
I'm no good the next day.
"No, it's not superstition. I don't
know what it is. Ail artists have their
off day* from some cause or other, and
some of them have antidotes. I have
none. I Just give up when the red-
headed girl comes across the path of
my dreams.
"A friend of mine counteracts the ef-
fect of his hoodoo by clothing himself
In an outlandish way. I have seen him
working to an opera hat, the coat of
his dress suit and a pair of pink pyja-
mas, and doing good work at that. An-
other friend of mine always cats a lot
of raw onions when he has a particu-
larly sentimental subject to handle.
But when It comes to me I Just have to
give up."—Philadelphia Ledger.

"He is Do>,*ood," said the great Na-

continually looking Into the privates'
stsw pot!"
"I want a nan who can keep his eye
on the oltlmatejbsult and Ignore little
fallings, never mmd how aggravating,"
said Keiaon. And General Gordon once
remarked that the man who lost his
temper because a private's boot lace
waa tied loosely on the day of battle
did more to lose the day than all the
enemy's guns.
"Not II It Were My Boy."
Some years ago the late Horace
Mann, the eminent educator, delivered
an address at the opening of some re-
formatory Institution for boys, during
which he remarked that If only one
boy waa saved from ruin It would pay
for all the cost and care and labor of
establishing such an Institution as that
After the exercises had closed, In pri-
vate conversaUon. a gentleman rallied
Mr. Mann upon his statement and said
,to him:- ,
"Did you not color that a little when
you said that ail that expense and la-
bor would be repaid If it only saved
one boy?"
"Not If It were my boy," was the
solemn and convincing reply.
lliMttk'i Appetite.
Among other amusing reminiscences
of the late Prince Bismarck appearing
la Uerr John Booth's "Memoirs of the
Iron Chancellor" Is one relating to the
latter's gargantuan capacity for eating
and drinking. He told the author that
the largest unmber of oysters he ever
ate was 175. He first ordered 25; then,
as they were very good. 50 more, and,
consuming these, determined to eat
nothing else and ordered another hun-
dred, to the great amusement of those
present. Bismarck was theu 20 and
had Just returned from England.

"The elder SotUern waa a good story
teller, and he particularly liked to dwell
on bis experiences at the outset of his
stage life, whan be was a minor mem-
ber of the John McCullough company,"
said the old tlma theater goer.
"McCullough was playing In Texas,
and In one town where he waa billed to
piny 'Ingomar,' through some accident
on the railroad, the necessary costume*
were delayed.
"The manager was equal to the altu-
ation, however. He went to every
butcher's shop In town and hired all
the sheep and cow hides ha could to
dress'flp his supers.
"When McCullough came on the stage
that night, lie fell back appalled by the
stench of the hastily Improvised cloth-
ing worn by the barbarians.
" 'What do you think of them? Both-
ern laughingly asked McCullough,
pointing to the supers as the curtain
rolled down.
" They neither act like, look liko nor
talk like barbarians,' cu(tly growled
the tragedian, "but, by the gods, they
smell like them.' "—Kansas City Inde-

Toward Mecca the thoughts and as-

turned, and at least once in his life-
time the good Mohammedan Is expect-
ed to make a pilgrimage to that city.
One of the duties of tha pilgrim Im-
mediately after his arrival la to make
a Journey seven times round a holy
portico outside tb« mosque.
"We went af a great pace," says an
Englishman, who, disguised as a Mo-
hammedan, paid a visit to Mecca at
the risk of his life, "and tha day was
growing hot. When the procession
was over, we came back to tbe mosque
and were each given a bowl of limpid
water. I was so thirsty tbat 1 drank
mine at a draft and asked for mora,
which 1 noticed produced a very good
Impression, for, as 1 afterward learned,
this was t: d sacred water of Temsen,
