A Critic Criticised.

The Springfield Mass Union thinks
that the more the southern newspapers
discuss the question of negro rule in the
south, the less inclined northern people viii
be to make their homes in the southern
states. IL says that so much is said by the
southern press about the necessity of resist
ing negro domination that the impression
is made in the north that the southern
people have little to do but to wrangle
about which race shall control public af-
fairs, and that as northern people don't
care to walk into hornets nest, they re-
main away from the south.
The Union does not seem to be aware
that it is chiefly the northern republican
newspapers which discuss the negro ques-
ton. They believe that negro supremacy
in the south would help the Republican
party. and by insisting that the colored
people shall demand TIE rights which it is
alleged are denied them, they do a great
deal to foment bad feeling among the races.
1t is quite true that the southern news
papers discuss the question good deal, and
perhaps they do so too much, but they gen.
orally contend that the south should be
permitted to settle it without northern in
reference. When a northern newspaper
advises southern people to call halt in this
discussion. they should take the advice to
themselves
1t is not probable that many northern
people remain away from the south because
of tho discussion of the race question. The
northern people who come south don't find
it such an alarming question. They see
that the southern people are able to take
care of the race issue ana are content. AS
long as the southern states offer pleasant
homes and paying investments northern
people will seek them and invest in them.

A Curious Decision.

The supreme court of Missouri rendered
a decision the other day which is being Sc
versly criticised in that state Some time
ago saloonkeeper of Kansas City was
tried on the charge Of keeping gambling
establishment 1t appears that he rented
his rooms, together with cards and chips, for
a percentage of the winnings-the game
played being that of poker. He was found
guilty, and he carried the case to the su-
preme court. The keepers Of gaming houses
in the city became interested in it, and
money was raised for the employment OF
eminent lawyers. After sharp legal bat
tie, the court decided that cards and chips
were not gaming devices, and that their
use in public resort in the manner indi-
Gated was not evidence of gambling.
OF course the decision was favorably re-
ceived by the proprietors of such establish
ments, but the law-abiding people of the
state are indignant. They say that they do
not sec how the court could have inter-
preted the law as it did, and that under the
decision there Is no way in which a faro
establishment, or other gambling institu-
ton, where cards and chips only are
exhibited and used, can be broken up.
For some years gambling has been on the
increase in Missouri, notwithstanding
efforts have been made to diminish it. The
decision not only puts check upon such
efforts, but it will cause more marked in
crease in gambling in that state.

The SORGHUM Industry.

Reports received at the department Of
agriculture in Washington concerning the
sorghum industry for the last year are
quite encouraging. The raising of sorghum
cane is shown 70 be profitable to those en-
gagged in it. and many people have found
employment in the sorghum factories which
have been built for converting the cane into
syrup and sugar. In Kansas, where this indus
try is a comparatively new one, the results
appear to be particularly gratifying. The
average yield Of sorghum in that state last
year, although the season was a somewhat
unfavorable one, was about ten tons to the
acre, and those engaged in raising the cane
found a ready sale for it at the mills
at s. ton. AS the expense of cultivating
it was rather light, the profits were, in the
main, satisfactory. No better evidence that
the industry is a profitable one is nesded
than the fact that in Kansas alone, during
the last six months, six new factories have
been built. 1t is thought that by the end OF
the year S75O,OOO will have been invested
in that state in this new branch of manu-
featuring.
The demand for the sorghum seed in
Kansas was not very great, and that fact
forced those engaged in the Industry to find
a new way in which the seed might be used
with profit. The result was that the seed
were found to be a very good article of
food for cattle 1t was also discovered that
cattle thrived upon the leaves of the sor-
ghum.
Prof. Wiley. the chemist of the agricult-
ural department, does not think that sugar
making from sorghum On a small scale, in
connection with other kinds of farming, can
be practiced successfully, but Mr.. R. /.
Hughes, who has experimental in this di-
rection for the last ten years at Rio Grande,
N. j., does not agree with him. Yet, while
Mr.. Hughes contends that it can be SO prac-
ticed successfully, he does not show that he
has realized much profit in that direction.

Extra Session Talk.

The republicans want an extra session Of
congress, and therefore it is not improbable
/ that one will be called. Their msj ority in
the House is only three. and they are afraid
that if congress does not meet before the
regular session they win not be able TO
organize the House. Their fear is based
upon two grounds. The first is that death
may remove as many as three republican
members of the House before December,
AID the second is that the President may
ALLEVIATE three or more members before that
time.
or course the chances are that not more
republicans than democrats will die before
the regular session, but it is the unexpected
that happens, and the republicans do not
want to take any risks.
It is admitted that the President is not
giving his party satisfaction. The republic
can press is not saying much for or against
him, but the party leaders and workers are
dol a great deal Of talking that is I'M
friendly to him. Unless something is dono
TO bring about better feeling. the Presi-
dent will have great deal Of outspoken
opposition IN his own party.
this condition Of affairs. The foundation
Of the trouble is the patronage. There are
not enough offices to satisfy the demand for
them. Those who are disappointed largely
outnumber those who are pleased. Those
who have failed to get Offices are the ones
who are fomenting discomfort. They arc
showing cleverness and skill in what they
ara dOino 7hax- caraFuIIxr CONCEAL the fact
that they are influenced by disappointment,
and that to crafty their desire for revenge
they are ready TO wreck the administration.
1t has been limited that if an extra session
we're called the republicans would make an
effort to have the civil service reform laws
repealed. The suggestion is hardly worth a
passing notice. No doubt the republican poll
ticans would like to have the civil service
laws repealed, but they would not dare to
attempt TO repeal them. The country favors
them, and the political party which shows
itself hostile to them will be taught severe
lesson at the polls. AS much as the repub-
licans want offices they will never attack
those laws.
Civil service reform is here to stay Its
hold upon the people is gradually becoming
stronger. The party workers may growl
because they are not taken care of, but
their growls will come to nothing.
The extra session, if one is called, will be
devoted mainly to the contested election
cases. The republican majority will use its
utmost endeavors to seat republicans who
are claiming the seats Of democrats-par-
ticularly democrats from the south. 1t is
by no means certain, however, that the
President thinks an extra session advisable.
If he does not, it will be difficult matter
to maks him think otherwise.

King Kaiakaua, of Hawaii, is very anxious
to attend the Paris exposition, but can't
afford to. At any rate. that is what recent
advices from Honolulu say. The king is
represented as being short of funds, and as
having limited credit. If he could raise
$4,000 he would attend the exposition in
becoming style, but his chances for raising
that amount seem to be very slim, and he
will probably stay at home and wish he
were an American millionaire instead of a
Hawaiian king.
