Senator George, Of Mississippi, spoke his
mind freely on Tuesday about the cotton
bagging trust. The question before the
Senate was an amendment to reduce the
duty on cotton bagging to 8 per cent. per
pound. At present 1t is II per cent The
Senate tariff bill reduces it to g per cent.
Senator George declared that the cotton
bagging trust was a conspiracy, and that
those who were engaged in it ought to be
IN the penitentiary, and would be under
any system of wise and economical laws g"
The sena- or wanted to know if the senators
who favored high duty on jute bagging
desired to be regarded as the aiders and
abettors of the conspirators, and he init
mated that they would be if they insisted
upon duty that would enable the bagging
trust to continue to rob the cotton planters.
A point made by Senator George during
the debate on this question that at
| tracted considerable attention and brought
a reply from Senator Allison. who has
charge of the tariff bill, was that there were
not more than 5000 persons employed in
the manufacture of juts bagging in this
country, and that the duty on jute bagging,
number, though he believed that the manu-
facturers alone, and not their employees,
were benefited. The duty on jute, how
| ever, Injuries all who are engaged in the
production Of cotton, and the number could
not he less han 1,250,0O0. In order that
5000 may be benefited, admitting the jute
bagging employees are benefited, 1850, 600
men, women and children must make sac
rifices.
This point seemed to make some impress
sion on the republican senator's, but their
spokesman maintained that their whole bill
would have to be abandoned if they dis
eliminated against the jute bagging manu-
facturers. In order to uphold the doctrine
of protection they were compelled to legs
late so that the few might be benefited at
the expense of the many.

There Is undoubtedly quite a strong senti-
ment in some parts of Canada in favor of an
nexation to the United States On Monday
there was an election for mayor in Windsor.
Ont, small city close to the border. The
candidates were Mr. Sol White, an ex-
member of parliament, who has been out
spoken in favor Of annexation for a long
time, aud Mr.. Twomey, who is opposed to
it.
The question Of annexation was clearly
presented during the canvass. Some Of the
Canadian leaders undertook to get Mr..
White to withdraw from the canvass in
order to prevent discussion Of it, 1t was
believed by many that If Mr.. White was
elected the annexation question would be-
come a prominent one at once throughout
the dominion. It was for this reason that
Sir John Macdonald and others objected to
Mr. White's being candidate.
Mr. White, however, as cur dispatches
stated yesterday, was defeated. But he re-
ceived only IS votes .e,s than his opponent,
and, in view of the fact that this question
Of annexation had never b5fore been pre-
sented at an election, ii must be admitted
that the strength Of the annexation senti-
ment is pretty strong, Indeed, it is not
improbable that in a good many border
Canadian towns t would not be a difficult
matter to get majority in favor of politi-
cal union with the United States.

Tia Samoan MIDDLE.

There IS n probability Of little diplo-
matte wrsngIe between this country and
Germany relative 10 the condition Of affairs
in Samoa The Germans seem determined
| to uphold Tamase-e, the royal pretender.
while the Americans aud English sympa-
/ thize with Mataafa, the rigLtful king. The
! account Of the battle Of Dec. IS, which APP
/ peared in our dispatches yesterday, shows
that the Germans are more active than they
should be in supporting the pretender. A
/ large number Of them were in that battle,
and they doubtless expected that with their
| assistance Tamasese would defeat Mataafa
and acquire such an ascendency that he
would be able to rule ia peace. But Tam
! asese and his German allies were utterly
routed by Mataafa, and it viii be some
time. probably, before he attacks Mataafa
again.
curious part Of the story Of the battle
is that Mataafa's forces we're led by an
American who is in Samoa as a newspaper
correspondent. The Americans name is
Klein, and he is we'll known in ST. louis
and Chicago. In both cities ne was a first
class police court reporter He is about 81
years of age and is an Englishman by birth
Kleiu's connection with Mataafa's forces
affords Germany no ground for complaint,
though it seems that in Berlin there is some
irritation over the defeat OF Tamasese, and
the fact that the forces which defeated him
were led by an American is commented
upon in a rather hostile tone.
The Germans have no more right in
Samoa than Americans. but they seem in
clined to insist that they have, on the ground
that their commercial interests there are
larger. There are about 700 Europeans
altogether there and about SO, 900 natives.
Mataafas party has always regarded the
Americans with favor, and it is pretty GER
tain that this government will not see him
thrust aside by tue pretender who has been
set up by the Germans, without a vigorous
effort TO protect him in his rights. At
present, however, Mataafa with Klein's
help appears to be able to take care of him
self

The Pennsylvania Cyclone.

The cyclone which visited portions OF
Pennsylvania aud New York yesterday
was terribly destructive one, both to life
and property. In Reading alone sixty per-
sops are reported killed and more than 100
injured. In Pittsburg many were killed
and wounded. In other places there was
loss OF life. How great the loss of property
is, it is, of course, impossible 70 even ap-
proximatoly estimate yet, but there is no
doubt that 1t is very great Only the most
important points have been heard from,
and it may be several days before all the
facts are learned from the places in the
track of the storm.
The force Of the cyclone was terrific.
Great buildings were demolished, trees
were uprooted and the frazier class of
structures was shattered TO splintors. Tho
loss OF property, however, is Of little con
sequence compared to the loss Of life.
The course Of the storm was from west to
east, and though the greatest damage it did
was at Reading, yet in Brooklyn, n. Y, its
destructive force was immense.

congressman $50 crit!c.

There is 10 other journal in the country
that has 50 little regard for truth and fair
ness IS the Chicago Tribune, when discuss
ing political q-estions relating to the south.
1t is so reckless in ITS statements and so I'm
Just in is comments, that it can hardly
/ have any influence with the intelligent por.
t.ol Of its readers. In recent article il
comments upon the following statement
made by representative Crisp, Of this state,
/ in debate in the House: "In no state of
+ TIE union is the right guaranteed by the
laws Of the people more fully to all voters
to 20 to the ballot-bo1 and deposit their
ballots for the candidates Of their choice
than in Georgia"
The Tribune calls this "Crisp'5 mislead-
ing statement" and attempts to show that
it is misleading by pointing out that, al
though Georgia has 2l6,9 500 white voters
nearly all democratic-and 176 40 black
voters-nearly all republican-only 40, 925
votes were cast in the November election.
| The Tribune wants to know why it is, if a
free and fair ballot is guaranteed in Geor-
gia, that more Of the white voters, and
especially more of the black voters, did not
cast their ballots. The reason is that they
did not care 10 vote. If they had offered to
vote they would have found nothing to
prevent them, and their votes would have
been counted honestly. The fact that they
didn't vote doesn't prove that they were
prevented from doing so, or that their votes
would not have been counted if they had
been cast.

last election, and, hence. a large percentage
Of voters did not take the trouble to vote.
Very few speeches were made, and there
was no effort to get out q big vote. Had
there been q contest in every congressional
district the vote would have been mere
than doubled.
The Tribune asks this question; as Mr..
Crisp prepared to say in the hearing Of the
republicans Of ths north and his fellow
members from the cotton states that in no
state Of the union do voters 20 TO the
baliot-box and deposit their ballots for the
candidates Of their choice and have them
honestly counted more fully and freely
than in Georgia."
YES. Mr.. Crisp will say that ia the halls
of congress, or out Of them, ard he will
say it before northern or southern men
without fear of contradiction And it is
safe to say that he viii willingly challenge
the Tribune to find an intelligent and hon
est man, either white or black, who
will assert that at the last election
he was prevented from voting, or
that he knows Of ballo.-Dox stuff
ing, or any other ballot box fraud. Unless
the Tribune produces evidence upon
which TO base its charges that elections in
Georgia are unfair, it must stand convicted
Of being malicious falsifer, and must ad-
init that its purpose is to create a false i'm
preston. No decent journal would rest
under an imDutation Of that kind 1t would
either produce the evidence or withdraw its
charges.

A pretty good story was heard yesterday con-
corning well-knOwn stock broker, whose auto
graph is familiar on several OF the hotel regis

in the city, aud is the owner of a beautiful
home in a suburban town. When he erected
this magnificent house it set all the village
neighbors to Eossipping. 1t was wondered what
business the owner was engaged in; in fact,
there were many anxious inquiries on this score.
one evening one Of the interested ladies asked
her husband:
What business is Mr.. -- engaged in?n
Why he mas bucket shop il the city, was

This was a chance for the wise lady and she
replied: "Oh, | know; he has pail factory il

say that Civil Service Commissioner Eaton

it first appeared in an article in "Salois'
