THE HATEFUL COTTON TIE TAX.

Cotton ties have always been bug
bear TO the high tariff people, who for
some reason have always shown a
spite toward them. They did not
come under the distinct divisions OF
the tariff, but were taxed among iron
productions not otherways mentioned
The high tariff monopolists have con.
tended that iron ties ought to be
claSed with certain named articles
that pay a much higher rate than the
miscellaneous class. Again and again
they have appealed to the officials in
Washington to have this classification
made, and have tried what law would
do in the courts. But all efforts to
make the cotton grower payer of
tribute to the iron master in Pennsyl.
vania faied. To make sure Of ulti-
mate victory Mr., Randall, in his tariff
bill now before Congress, proposes to
double the present tax. These de-
tes!able attempts to make the co.
ton grower tributary serl TO Penn.
sylvania has aroused rebuke even in
the North. The New York Star
says "There is not a mora indeiensi

cotton ties. 1t fixes upon the people
OF eleven States cruel and grievous
burden for the sole purpose OF enrich.

burg, 1t goes far toward Gripping an
industry that produces annually
$240,0O0,000 worth OF raw material,

other millions" Do our hard working
cotton growers like this way of hitch
ing them, like team, to draw the
triumphal car of the Pennsylvania
iron lords? This is carrying the abom.

cotton business ought to protest
against it, demand tariff reform, and

Weather cimaxes have come during

foretell when they would come, and
the fleeting glory one or two OF them

cyclone, the tornado and the hurri.
cane spread alarm and calamity,
and hail storms, rains here and
drouths there cut short the hopes Of
the husbaudman. The last week has
been noticeable for the prevalence Of
heat, and that heat has been more
overpoweliog in the North than in the
South. We have had some warm
weather in Memphis, but the Weather
Office has noted no higher than 90
degrees here, and that has been tenn
perej with delightful breezss that

TIE CONVENTION TO-DAY

The Democratic County Conven-
meets today under the most gratifying
auspices The vote at the primary
election oa Tuesday was large beyond
precedent. Heretofore the cut and
dried programmes Of the Office brok-
ers triumped in the primary elections
But on Tuesday the people, the honest
Democratic masses turned out, and
as rule good men vera elected as
delsg and who will today cast
their vot!s solely and entirely in the
interest OF harmony and good govern
ment. The outcome OF the present
campaign is certainly reassuring. The
interest manifested in the primary
election, the election of selid men as
delegi tes who have heretofore
taken no part in county con-
yentions show that the peo-
pie are aroused and presages
a glorious victory on the . Eh OF August,
The general feeling that pervades the
party is most gratifying. A wise, pru
dent man should be elected president
OF the convention. a man who thor.
oughly understands parliamentary
rules, and who by his firmness will
preserve a dignity and deCorum in
proud contrast with the mob Of howl
ing bedlamites that took possession Of
the recent Republican convention.
Every delegate should be influenced
by the motto: "Union, harmony, con-
cessiop, Cancellation, everything for
the cause nothing for men, only go
far as they can give strength to the
ticket by their honesty, capability
and known Willingness 10 enforce the
law" Let us harmonic today, and
after the candidates shall have been
nominated let us all declare for them
first, last, all the time, and
work for them, not only with
an energy worthy of success
but which will win victory
The enemies OF Democracy expect
TO recruit their forces by accessiont
from the ranks OF the disappointed
But In this contest there is not a Dem
OCrat in Shelby county willing to play
the part OF Judas. The Democratic
party Of Shelby county is not made W
OF satellites that revolve around tn,
orbit Of any mau-big or little. Lee
the convention be just, wise and con
ciliatory today, nominate good men
strong men, and the Democrats will
rally to their support and elect it by
the usual overwhelming majority.

ExIraditIOn Treaty Between Great
Britain and the United states.

LONDON, July IA An extradition
treaty bstween England and the
United States has been signed. In
addition TO the customary clauses, the
treaty provides for the surrender OF
dynamite miscresnts. At the Foreign
Office today it IVES stated that when
the matter was ripe a communities
tion would be made to the press
in the usual way, and that the
treaty would doubtless be ratified
at Washington after the customary
routine. Further details we're peremp-
toiily refused at the the American
legation. Secretary White was greatly
incenssd on benz questioned in re-
gard to the matter and refused to ad.
init or contradict that a treaty had
been signed on the ground that the
State Department at Washington
was alone competent to speak
on the subject. He said he was
surprised at the indiscretion OF the
Foreign Office aud hrusquely closed
the interview. 1t is gene ally thought
in dip omatiC circles here that the So
cislittic troub es in Chicago largely in
huenced the American Government in
making the treaty.
Flee ion rioling is reported in Sal
fran. Walden. Many persons were in
jured. The police cleared the streets
and arrested the ringleaders.

The SaR this morning says: "rhe President
already possesses the power to veto the whole
of an appropriation bill; and why endow him

of the rest' Such provision would make him
the arbiter of appropriations. 1t would estab-
lish the one-man power In control of the

democracy
The World, speaking of the wrecking of the
Missouri Pacific freight train by which
brakeman and fireman were killed. and
which is charged to the strikers, trusts that 1t

home TO the strikers II will tend to ALLEVIATE
the sympathy of the public from their cause
entirely"
The ReyGl0 says ut Is not easy to see how
boycotting In its worst features can escape
being held criminal. 1t Is a very different
thing from strike. II Is a means of destruc.
tlon. II Is designed either to coerce the en-

demands may be, or ruin his business"
