Shall we never have done with the absurd
proposition that the nation shall go into the
telegraph business? 1t is not an argument, as
Mr.. Washburne seems to think, for the estab-
lishment of postal telegraph in tins country
that England, with an area of 1O0,ooo square
miles. has made her telegraph system part OF
her postal arrangements. 1t is very different
matter to build telegraph lines over country
whose area is fully million and nall
square miles, particularly when the population
which DAYS the cost is nearly as large i'll the
small country as in the larger one. The very
difficulties of great distances which render the
Postal Department at present non-supporting
would in the event of the establishment OF
the postal telegraph make the annual de-
ficiency ten-fold greater than 1t Is. we can
not run the mails over the whole of our I'M
mense area without great expense. We be-
leve that this expense would be enormously
increased by the creation of postal tele-
graph, and for that reason we oppose 1t. Inc
country is not pepared to appreciate the per-
sistenee with which certain advocates urge
this project In fact, their energetic advocacy
of a scheme with such little apparent advantage
in it makes people unworthily suspect their
motives of action

There is an intlmatiOn that the Conference
Committee on the Currency Bill will agree on
a measure acceptable at once to all parties in
both House and Senate. We await with
anxiety the development of the miracle We
do not believe the Senate will consent to any
initiation of the Currency, and certainly the
House will be content with nothing less than
expansion. A correspondent explains, on our
second page, the several influences which de-
feated the bill on former occasions. 1t will be
a shrewd Committee which can reconcile the
several conflicting interests therein referred to.

The struggle of the Board Of Health with
the fat-melters not only continues undecided,
but there is some reason to fear that it will
end in the victory of The nuisances. The
Board has been forced to declare that the
business of fat-melting cannot be carried on
in the city without great danger TO life and
health, and when it passed resolution yes
terday inviting the fat-melters to come for
ward and prove their case before the Sanitary
Committee, it not only stultifed itself, but
virtually surrendered the whole question at
issue. Lest however, there might be some
mistake as to the true intent of this resolu-
ton, another ordering the work of the Rem
dering Company to be summarily stopped was
laid upon the table. 1t is true, permits were
denied all fat-melters, but the Rendering
Company has carried on it's business for years

Our readers will be glad to learn, from our
London correspondent, that Mr. Thomas
Hughes is about to make a visit to this cOun-
try. There are few Englishmen who would be
more cordially welcomed in America than the
author of "TOm Browns School Days at
Rugby" Mr.. Hughes is not only a success
full man of letters but an earnest Liberal of
the most enlightened school, and during the
war was one of our most earnest and power
full friends. He may be certain of a warm
reception when he comes among people who
have. long been accustomed to respect and
like him.

There was hope,Sas long as the dispute about
Quarantine charges was confined TO the mer-
chants and DR.. CarnOchan, the Health Officer
Of the Port, that an early settlement would be
arrived at. But now that the "Ring" has taken
a hand in the matter, there is lost all chance
of settlement which does not leave the mer-
chants to be fieeced. Mayor Hall, who is
spokesman for the "Ring" appeals to Public
Opinion, and Public Opinion at once decides
that the long delay in settling this question
indicates that there is great swindle con-
cealed in it. Let us have it exposed

We heartily commend the concluding an
nouncement of our Washington dispatch con-
corning the question of Mr.. Murphys con-
frmation. The Senators, it is said propose
TO make a thorough investigation of his
record. So much the grave accusations freely
urged by responsible Republicans, and the
wide dissatisfaction caused by the nomination,
require. With that, Republicans will be salts
fed, whatever may be the final action of the
Senate, after it has possessed itself of all the
facts.

clean as it is now-Of course. The fat-melters
still defy the persons we call authorities; the
cutters reek with poisonous deposits from
tenement-houses; the frequent dead-cart
splashes up the foul slush-but we are to have
six more Inspectors of STRENGTHENING, and
they are to have fat salaries, and so every
thing will be jolly. Only six more Inspectors
of Street Cleaning that is, only six more for

SOUTHERN PROSPERITY.

When the States lately in rebellion are re-
ferred TO. we must not cOnfOund the cotton
growing communities, which urged the revolu-
ton, with the wheat-producing belt that was
drawn into the mischief. SO much ado is made
over the great Southern staples, that we forget
how small portion of the South is devoted
to sugar, rice and cotton, and how large is the
surface where the chief crops are corn, wheat
oats and tobacco. From returns printed on
another page, we learn that the wheat crop
there has been, on the whole, very good. No
Judgment can be formed of the corn prospect,
for, no matter how well it may look to-day, a
hot and dry July on those shallOw-plowed
fields would scorch and ruin the crop this
year as it did last. With regard TO the great
staple, the outlook now is cheerful as to guam
tity. The London Shipping Gazette gives the

THE NEW CONSTITUTION OF ILLINOIS,


We are pleased to learn that the returns thus
far received leave little or no room to doubt
that the proposition for Minority Representa-
ton in the Illinois Legislature, which
was submitted as separate and dis
tinct proposition. has been adopted by
the popular vote as part of the funda-
mental lay of that State. This is PROPOSE
ton which has been much discussed in the
public prints for the past few years, and
favored by The TRIBUNE. 1t is a proposition
so obviously just and fair that we congratu-
late the public upon its adoption by 80 large
and influential State as Illinois
The new Constitution provides for Senate
of 81 members and House of 1913 Representa-
tives; and also requires that each member of
the General Assembly, in taking the oath of
Office shall swear that he has not paid or Of
fercd W pay, in the form of bride. any

Total halns.

Total bales $4,000 l,434OO0
Sufficient cotton has been planted to yield
3,5OO,OO0 bales if the season is only an average
one. But if the rust, the army worm, the boil
worm, and rude storms in November can
be escaped, there will be IA four-millon crop.
This will reduce the price to 10 cents and less.
In the cotton belt the old fallaCy of the ON
impotence of this staple has come back and
possesses the minds Of men now as it did in
1860. Il do not raise hogs" says one be-
"cause it pays better to put all my place to
"cotton and buy my pork" Others abandon
corn even, and choose to depend on West
ern flat-bOat. And so the curse of mOnOtOny
in production, of industry never diversified,
of the surface given up to crops that enrich
England and beggar the field-hand, of a
rotation by which the fairness of the South
passes over seas and blooms in Lowell, and
Manchester, and Boston, and Liverpool, of a
method that seems to bless while it curses, to
aid the laborer while it degrades him, the off
spring of an economical system averse to ours,
and cOntriyed by the hereditary enemies of
American growth and greatness-this false
system is creeping back upon the South, and
an unusually large crop at low figures would
this Fall rivet her letters and complete her
subsection.
Free labor brings changes, but no alteration
of conditions which go beyond labor systems
and underle all questions of race and suffrage
Though the first effects would be disastrous
it would in the end prove a gOdsend to the
South if cotton could by the success in India
and Egypt be pushed down to ten cents and
held there. 1t would uproOt the irrational
greed of the cotton planter. 1t would force
him to general agriculture. 1t would
burn encompasses, but it would build
cotton factories. 1t would plant vines
on Southern hill-sides and mills by her
water-courses 1t would lead the South to
build her own wagons and mold her own plOws.
1t would make cabbage growing an important
art and dignity the production of sweet pota
toes. 1t would develop thrift, frugality, fore
cast continuance in her inhabitants In short,
while the plantation system and plantation
ideas would perish, man would rise from the
incubus that bends him to the earth and adj
vance
"Along the line of infinite desires"
1t is not Congress, nor Grant, nor the XVIII
Amendment, but Cotton, that keeps immigra-
ton out of the South. This staple divides
Southeners into two classes and only two
those who cannot afford to stay out of the
cotton-6ed, and those who can-those who
live by their own labor, and those who live
by that of others. Such distinction is in its
nature unjust and irrational. Men will not
go from the region of diversified industry into
such an atmosphere. 1t chokes and disheartens.
Hence, it is not without hope for the final re-
suit that we notice the magnitude of the cot
ton crop and the likelihood of an important
decline in its price. Such decline would be
drastic, unpleasant in its operation, but
cleansing the blood of the patient and infusing
fresh vigor into his constitution.

QUALITY AND CONDITION..
The quslity Of this Gusno is materially i'm
proved this season by the addition to its COM
position of large per cent Of the
SALTS OF POTASH.
It is improved in condition by being brou sht
into market sufficiently dry and uniformly line
to pass with fscility and regularity through the

WHEAT DRILL.
More than 100000 is involved in the pro-
duction of This Gusno, and the trade in it has
steadily increased, until now it far exceeds that
of any other fertilizer.
The Pacific Guano Company has far greater
interest in the mantsinance of tbs quality OF its
Gusno than any number of consumers can
have; hence no apprehension need exist as to its
continued excellence.
