A classical. but inaccurate Congress
man has illustrated Secretary Lincoln's
position on the Presidential question by
an election which, he says, took place
in Athens nearly 500 years before the
christian era. Each voter was To cast
Ewo ballots for ruler Of the city. one as
arsf and the other as second choice.
Bach man in the city voted for himself
a. first choice, while they all voted for
Thlmistocles for second choice. LncoIn's
hopes hang on the fact that he seems to
BE the choice Of an the Republicans for
1he second place on the Presidential
Lscket. while they are badly divided as to
ihe frst place. The trouble is that il was
not the rulership Of the city that was the
euhieat 81 the Athenian contest. but the
prize for skill and wisdom, which was
divided. Eurybiades receiving the crown
81 xaior and rhemistocles the crown Of
arl@7an. Ia such a contest as this, the
aspiring presumer on the power Of a great
raue would be badly left

rivalry between the Western Union and

resulted in cut Of about 40 per cent. in

l have for many years been troubled at
times with muscular rheumatism and
pleurltlc pains, and have always found
AllcOcEs Porous Plasters to be quick and
efficient in affording relief.
In December last | had an attack of
Pneumonia, which left one of my lungs
in weak and extremely sensitive condl-
ton, accompanied at times with severe
pain. The application of one plaster re-
lieved the pain in a short time, and have
worn one almost constantly since, as a
protection to the weakened lung.

A good many farmers in different parts
of the South are said to be making ar
rangements to sell their crops of cotton
for future delivery next fall at from 10 to
1917 cents per pound. To dispose of a
crop in this manner would make the rails
ing OF cotton much less hazardous bust
ness than it has been heretofore. Where
futures can be sold for actual delivery at
a satisfactory price, the plan is good
one. OF course no faEmer can ef-
feet sale unless he has high
financial standing or puts up
an adequate money margin. Cotton can
be profitably raised at 10 cents per pound,
but when the price drops below that there
is little or no money in it, even in good
crop year. Owing to the great expense OF
gathering and marketing a cotton crop
the farmers profits depend a good deal
less on the amount raised per mule than
on the price obtained for it. A poor crop
of cotton at 10 cents per pound is much
more profitable than good one at cents.

The George Bill.

The great argument of the protectionists
for prohibitory tariff is that such tariff
is necessary to protect American laborers
against the pauper laborers of Europe.
They pose before the country as philan-
thrOpists and seek to convey the impress
ion that their sole aim in advocating pro-
lection is to benefit the workingman.
And yet it has been found necessary to
protect the workingman against them by
| legislation. The condition Of affairs
which makes a bill like that reported by
Senator George of Mississippi, from the
Committee on Education and Labor, a
| necessity, shows how utterly insincere
their pretensions are. The George bill
provides for the punishment of
any one who brings pauper
laborers from any foreign country to
this country under a contract to work for
a eel tain stipulated compensation for
number of years. The bill also provides
for the punishment of masters of vessels
Of American register who bring to this
country any of these contract pauper
labOrers. In the mines and mills of Penn
sylvania there are thousands of these
white slaves. They are Poles and Hun
garians who were imported by rich COM
panies under a contract to work for few
| cents a day. Ignorant, immoral, accus-
/ toned to live on the cOarsest kind of food,
| they are willing to work for less than half
| what American labOrers in the mines are
accustomed to receive. Last summer
| there were disturbances and riots
in the localities where these
| contract labOrers were employed,
and the companies employing them be-
came alarmed for the safety of their prop
| ertv. The industries of these companies
are protected. They have all they desire
| in the way of a prohibitory tariff. Why,
then, do they import foreign labOrers if
they are so sOlicitOus about the welfare
| of American laborers? Because they are
| anxious to double their profits. The
more they make the more they want to
make. The George bill ought to estop
| them, however, from ever again arguing
/ for protection for the good of American
laborers. The bill is evidence that pro-
/ tectiOnists are friends of labOrers only to
the extent that Chey can use them.
Mr.. Kellogg's trial has begun, and he
will now have every opportunity to secure
the vindication which, apparently, he has
so anxiously desired for nearly two years.
He is charged with having received
$4,000 for using his influence while
Senator to secure couple
of star route contracts for
J. B. Price. The chief witness for the
government is John A. Walsh, who at
one time was great friend of Kellogg.
and who, during the troubles in New Or
leans in 1876, loaned Packard $4,000 to
keep the policemen who were guarding
the Packard government in the State
House in New Orleans from
starving. Kellogg will endeayOr to
prove that Walsh is unworthy
of belief, and be will attempt to show that
the Attorney General on more than one
occasion said that Walsh was not re-
liable witness. The case has been before
the public so long that the trial of it will
be watched with a good deal of interest.
The result in the other star route trials
does not give much hope of a conviction
in this one.

tions OF the capacity Of each; together with
quite full mention OF the general modes OF

prices varying from $40 to 1925. Now So
900 organs are made yearly in the United
