Turning from this point" continued
DIR. McCune, "the question of supply
of cotton bsgging was also discussed,
and it was proved to the satisfaction of
all that the supply would be adequate.

Hon. WI. Northen, president of the
State agricultural society Of Georgia,

important. Ttshows that the Alliance
will not be able to buy cotton to wrap
the whole crop before the crop is picked
but it shows also that their wants will
besupplied according as they gather
the crop. This assurance I can vouch
for as an absolute surety. Several new
mills were reported to-day as having
commenced the manufacturing of bag

THE FARMERS DETERMINED
"Are the farmers going to sustain
you in this move?"
With look full of determination,
DR.. McCune replied:
"I am now just returning from
trip through Arkansas, Louisiana,
Texas, Mississippi and Alabama. I
find the farmers everywhere settled
upon a fixed purpose of using cotton
bagging. In sections where merchants
have taken in stocks of jute on oonl-
mission and refuse to order cotton, the
farmers have decided to enclose their
cotton in rail pens, and to hold it there
until cotton bagging can be procured.
Isgssher sections the merchants will
be compelled to secure cotton bagging
in order to enable them to make collec-

many places the wealthy farmers will
furnish funds to enable those without t

THE New York Press says the strength
and future of the Republican party I'M
doubtedly lie in the growing, progress
sive Western States. A party represent
ing the ideas and forces which underlie
the material progress of great nation
naturally receives IFS reliable support in
the sections advancing most rapidly.
For this reason such states as Nebraska,
where the total vote has increased 675
per cent. since 1872; Kansas, where it
has increased 228 per cent. in that peri
cd; Minnesota, with Its increase of 1914
per cent; California, with 160 per cent.
and Wisconsin, Iowa and Michigan,
where the vote has more than doubled,
are all strongholds of the Republican
party. On the other hand, the strong
holds ofthe retrograde party may be
found in such states as South Carolina,
Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi and Loui-
siana, where the total vote has actually
decreased since 1872 10 and even l6 pei
cent, and in states where the Republi-
can vote has been reduced from So to sc
per cent. 1t is not likely that the thir.
teen progressive Western States and the
four new States which will soon be ad.
mitted will wheel into line with party
that in no sense keeps step with the ad.
vancing spirit of the age, and which de.
ponds upon the suppression of the suff
rage for its greatest strength.

WILL it now DE said that the grave U.
S. senators are doing nothing for the
poor farmer? A bill introduced by Sem
ator Spooner Yesterday provides that a
system of farmers institutes shall be
maintained as part of the agricultural
department. A superintendent of insti-
tutes is to be appointed at annual salary
of 5000. Meetings of the institutes
shall be regularly held in the agricultur-
al sections of the country. The pro-
ceedings are to be published, and auth
ority is given the superintendent of in
stitutes to hire lectures at fair rate OF
compensation for the time actually en-
ployed. The annual cost of this system
of institutes is not to exceed $500. 600, ex-
elusive of permanent salaries and the
printing of the reports of the institute
meetings.

THERE are no doubt people who think
the friends of the tariff policy urged by
the Democrats ought to feel pretty badly
crushed by the November voting, and
more than willing to avoid such an issue
in the future. They are superficial par
tisans. The reformers have been figur-
ing since the election and find large
blocks of comfort and encouragement.
With the tariff at the front they find
that in the aggregate vote of OHIO, Illi-
nois, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Rhode
Island and New Hampshire they have
made a net gain of % 900 in the past four
pears. Then they take the great manu-
featuring cities of New England and the
East and find marked gains for tariff re-
form. For instance, New York, Brook
lyn, Chicago, Worcester, Lowell, Law
renee, Fall River, Holyoke and five cit
les in Connecticut increased their Dem
ocratic majority in the four years from
so, ia to II ,6S2. 1t may be argued that
when the agricultural sections note that
the manufacturing centers don't want
the high tariff they will not persist in
taxing themselves ncedlessly for the
benefit oftrusts and monopolists Globe.
Yes, and we hope the "reformers" Of
Democracy will feel encouraged to 90
right along with their work, and in four
years the G. o. P. will snow them under
worse than last fall.

1T is comical to witness the desperate
efforts that are being made by many of
the officials under the present admins
trstion to get themselves quartered on
Uncle Sam in some permanent capacity.
The friends of assistant secretary of the
treasury Thompson have succeeded in
getting his name sent to the senate as
civil service commissioner, in place of
commissioner Edgerton, whom Cleve-
land peremptorily removed in order to
get Thompson a chance of being con-
firmed by the senate. The removal of
Edgertou leaves only one commissioner
Lyman, Republican-and the friends
of Thompson will endeavor to persuade
the Republican senators that he should
be confirmed, and that the other vacan-
cy will be left for Gen. Harrison to fill
with Republican. A very ingenious
plan, but what effect il will have is yet
to be seen.

MILITIA MANEUvERS.
Minnesota Troops Desired at New
York.

Col. Bend is making an effort to Sc.
cure the attendance of the First and
Second regiments of the Minnesota ma
tional guard at the Washington centen-
NAL, to be held at New York, April 80,
1889. The trip will be taken if arrange
ments can be made with the railroad
companies to carry the troops for half a
cent each per mile. The State would
feed the men while in New York, but
they would have to provide for them
selves during the journey to and fro. 1t
is proposed that if the trip to New York
is taken it shall take the place of the an
uual encampment, and money usually
appropriated for the latter purpose
would De devoted to paying TN, xSen-
ses of the excursion. The OTHER States
of the Union will be represented, and it
is deemed fitting that Mink sofa should
not be behind in such s movement.
Governor Merriam and his staff will
be present during the ceremonies, and
the two regiments would perform escort
duty. State Treasurer Bobleter, who is
taking considerable interest in the mat
ter, has received from Capt. w. Bird,

HIGH LICENSE WORTHY OF TRI-

The value of high license as means
of restricting the evils of the liquor traf
fic has been repeatedly proven by stat
istics, but il is not aften that the proof is
80 complete, concise, and convincing as
the following statement from the Pbila-
delphia Ledger concerning. the workings
of the Brooks high l;cence law in that
city
Not only has the operation of the law,
as administered by our License Court,
reduced the number of drinking places
from about 5000 to 1,347, but it has al
ready, In its existence of seven months
from June l., 1888, to January l, 1889,
decreased according TO the published
statistics) the commitments to the coun-
.ty prison by 9, 1853, as compared with the
same months in the preceding year; de-
creased the commitments for drunken
ness by 5, 100; reduced the number of
commitments for Sunday drunkenness
from S65 to PIG, and reduced the COM
mitments of women for drunkenness for
the same period from SO to 81.
Commenting upon the above the Clev-
Gland Leader thinks this situation is due
largely to the care and good sense dis
played by the court in granting licenses,
and if the law has not worked equally
well all over the State, it is because pub
lie opinion has not been strong enough
or alert enough to secure the proper
persons as license judges. But in local.
ties where that has happened, it certain
ly cannot be reasonably expected that
public opinion will be strong enough to
enforce prohibition, and a prohibltive
law in such places is certain to be little
more than farce. In the nature of
things, in such a city as Philadelphia,
prohibition cannot hope to be as effect
i've as is the Brooks law under the pres
ent administration.
The results which have come from
high license as tested in Philadelphia
are very forcible argument in favor of
giving the system thorough trial in
Minnesota before change is made to
other experiments. Prohibition would
never serve better purpose than high
license in communities where public
sentiment prevents its candid and per-
feet enforcement.

AMONG the bills allowed by our eco
nomical city fathers last evening was
one for printing, in which Morrison, the
publisher of the sheet which has been
designated the "official organ" of the
council, was paid $1,000 for printing 500
municipal court complaints and A.75 for
500 court files. To say nothing about
the merits of the work, $500 per thou
sand would be high price for any de-
cent printer to charge for blanks of the
character of municipal court complaint,
while the files would be dear at s.. 50per
thousand. If there were ever clearer
cases of the squandering of the peoples
money, they have not as yet come to
light We have DO objection to the city
officials using fifth-class stationery if
they want to. but the tax payers ought
to protest against paying three times as
much for it as first-class work would
cost.

A BILL is before the Ohio legislature
proposing to disfranchise bride takers
for FIVE years. There is always one vital
defect to all measures of this kind, that
is, that it is practically impossible to
convict a man of having sold his vote.
The man who bribed him is not going to
turn informer and it is human nature
that the receiver of the bride will not.
1t would be vastly better to punish the
giver of brides with Acknowledgement
than the receiver. In equity both ought
to be punished. But In practice it is
much easier to secure information that
will convict against the briber than
against the person bribed and while it is
not strict justice that the one should be
punished and the other go free, yet it is
one of these cases where this must be
done if any good whatever is TO come
from the law.

Senator Scheffer seems to be of the
opinion that man who drinks to excess
should be punished as severely or more
so than the saloonist who sold him his
liquor. Mr.. Scheffer on Saturday intro
duced bill which is very severe upon
drunkards. 1t provides that persons
convicted of the crime of drunkenness
shall be punished, for the first offense
with ten days imprisonment in Jail; for
the second offense, thirty days; for the
third offense, ninety days; and for the
fourth, not less than six months nor more
than one year The fifth is state pris-
on offense, and the term of imprison-
ment is not less than one year nor more
than two years. There is nothing said
in the bill about fines. The bill was re-
ferred to the judiciary committee.
Senator Chapman introduced bill
yesterday which prohibits persons of
nearer relationship than second cousins
from marrying. 1t also prohibits per-
sons who are joined in wedlock with one
who has become insane, blind or deaf,
from marrying again, as the old law al
lowed.

ty auditors to refund to purchasers OF
tax titles of state school lands the
amount paid for the tax title without in

tend to be left out, it seems. Interviews
made at Washington yesterday show
that the Republicans of the House think
the practicable determination of the pas
sage of the omnibus bill for the admis-
sion of the territories will not affect the
prospects of an extra session of the Fifty
first congress. A large number of them
express the belief that there will be an

WILL not some one enlighten our ig.
norance and tell us candidly what earth
ly objection there can be to allowing the
people of Minnesota to vote on the ques-
ton of constitutional prohibition at the
next general election.-Fdirm0nt NeaCs.
This item has been travelling around
for couple of weeks and everybody APP
pears to be afraid of ii. The very first
and greatest objection to our Fairmont
friends proposal is, that a general
election" is the poorest possible time to
consider matter like this, either for
the success of the measure or the hope
of securing candid and correct express
sion of public sentiment thereon. The
question of adopting prohibition or other
less sweeping temperance legislation is
entirely non-partisan, and should be
kept so, if IFS friends desire its own best
interests. In the next place, there has
been no loud call for the submission of a
prohibition amendment-at least, the
people have given no evidence that they
are interested in the question to an ex-
tent that warrants even the radicals
to predict that the amendment would
be carried. A defeat at this juncture
would be most unfortunate occurrence
for the cause of temperance as well as
prohibition, and would hinder the bring
ing about of reforms, which, if they
proved not SO sweeping as prohibition,
certainly might prove as practicable in
their results. The political prohibits
made considerable noise during the last
campaign, but since there is no further
chance to get their names in the papers
as candidates for Office they seem to
have subsidized into innocuous desuetude.
If these professed friends of prohibition
were as jealous in behalf of that princi-
pie as they are in securing votes for
their candidates at election time, they
might do something toward creating
public sentiment for prohibition.
When this subject is submitted let it
be at special election and not at one OF
the regular voting times, when it could
be used as trading stock by politicians,
and thereby possibly carried by the
votes of the very persons who would
not lift their hands to uphold it, if they
did not violate its provisions whenever
opportunity offered.
