sHILL HISTORY REPEAT IT.
SELF,
And Democratic BIunders Lead
10 Certain DeieaI2
Nn,hrills Amnrlnnn.1k.

We think we see evidence Of dis,
position on the part Of Democrats
here and there to commit the blundors
which In past experiments have re-
suited in disaster. Some Democrats
are Engaged 10 the agitation Of the
tariff question. This is a very sensi.
tive subject in what are known as the
doubtful States OF the North, which
the Democrats must obtain in order to
secure the removal Of a Republican
administration.
But what need we care, if we have
axes 10 grind aud states to frame and
various self interests 10 subserve2
Have We not the Solid South at the
back Of us? Let US, of course. alarm
the business interests Of the doubtful
Northern States and drive Democratic
manufacturers and the working men
who earn their living through the
success Of manufacturing enterprises
into the camp OF the protection ex-
tremists Of the Republican party.
Should we listen to the Democrats of
the doubtful States, who prefer Ram
dali for Speaker, when we have a
capable Southern man whose friends
would like him to have the dispense
ton of the places to be conferred
thereby Is it not OF vital import.
ance that we should thus secure the
solidity Of the South2 OF course, we
should precipitate a sectional conflict
Of this kind 10 assert the rights OF the
South-not as against Republicans Of
the North, but as against Democrats,
who take cooler views Of the situation
and have a keener realization of the
uncertainties of the coming election.
For the same reason we should insist
upon the nomination OF Southern
man on the ticket for President and
Vice President. In this way we are
expected to obliterate secIionalism
and sectional lines, by that sort Of
pleasant fiction which obtains in the
minds Of those whose emotions outrun
their judgment. Ofoourse we should
begin fierce war upon the most in.
huential Democrat in New York-not
because he has declared himself a
candidate for President, but for fear
he might DO made candidate by
other Democrats against his continued
protest.
We should protest against the wick.
edness and injustice Of sectionalism
aud make a sectional issue in the
struggle for the Speakership Of the
House. We should declaim against
seotionalism and yet insist upon a
Southern candidate on the national
ticket, when it can work no good to
this section in any practical way
when it can add no votes to make the
South more solid, and when il would
Certainly make less votes for us in the
States where we need them most. The
f'eblest Democratic instinct must
t,ach US that New York is the de
batable center OF the next national
cjntest. But, Of course, we must put
out Of the way the strongest Demo-
cratic influence in that State and its
best element Of organization.
In this way we may hoist ourselves
BY our boot straps. We should not
complain, then. il our enemies smile
at our folly and take advantage Of it.

Tire cotton report to Bradstreets
for October is based on 1893 replies
received in time for publication. This
report justi6cs the hositancs expressed
on September 29in connection with
the September report, namely: ut is
too eoon 70 expect reports indicating
approximately the actual outturn Of
the crop in bales. as tho weather
for the next six weeks, as affecting the
packing, will have much influence on
this ultimate yield" 1t was further
pointed out, as follows. Generally
the plant has been SO much injured
by the drouth that a top crop is out
ofthe question, but with favorable
weather top crop may be gathered
in localities. The weather has been
favorable for picking, aud in eonse
quence, the prospect for the ultimate
yield has been improved. Beyond
this, a top crop has developed 10 To-
calities, but these are neither numer.
Gus nor Of wide extent, In consider
log the trade meaning of this aud the
September report, it should be borne
in mind that a calculation based on
fveo Of Bradstreet's during 1881 and
1882 showed that a given number Of
men engaged in reporting on the spot
the condition of the cotton crop un>
consciously underestimate the yield or
prospects thereof, 8 per cent. These
reports comprised two November re-
ports as to actual yield, and three re
ports as 10 cotton plantations. As to
how much more gloomy il at all, 1900
men are likely to be at an earlier date
in bad season than November %,
those most interested are as we'll fitted
to determine as is the editor Of Brad
streets.

POLISH JEW DIVORCES.
A simple Proceeding for Cutting
the Matrimonial Knot.

New YORK, November l3.-Con-
siderable excitement has been created
among the Jewish residents Of this
city, by the publication OF a dispatch
from Troy, announcing that a young
Polish Jew in that city proposed to
remarry in New York on the strength
of a divorce granted by some Jewish
Tribunal. A prominent Hebrew
member Of the bar said that undoubt-
eddy divorces were granted among the
Russo Polish Jews throughout the
United States, and that instances are
frequent in the city Of New York
In fact these people would not
remarry without first obtain,
ing such a religious divorce,
or get" as it is called among them.
These people consider divorce from
the State courts insufficient, and unless
supplemented by get" would con.
slider it bigamy to remarry. The valid.
ity Of these gets or religious divorces
have never yet been tested by our
State courts OF any other civil tribuS
nal in this country, In his opinion
the get" would be disregarded and
considered null and void as being in
conflict with the clearly expressed
statutes of the various States Of the
Union. A singular proceeding for
obtaining these gets" is that only the
testimony Of the party applying for the
divorce is necessary. 10 Suffolk street
there is a dispenser, or "rof," who
does quite a business in this line. His
charge for granting these gets" is
measured by the length of the purse
of the applicant. The charge may be
s. and may come as high as $25.
