The BaRginQ Problem.

The MORNING News is anxious that the
farmers shall find way to get out Of the
power of the jute bagging combination.
1t is by no means certain, however, that a
way has yet been found. The movement
in favor Of cotton bagging was supported
with great deal OF enthusiasm in the be
ginning, and is still viewed with favor. 1t
is apparent. however, that it cannot be
successful unless cotton bagging is cheaper,
all things considered, than jute bagging.
In some of the resolutions passed at farm
ers meetings the view was adopted that
cotton bagging should be used in preference
to jute, even If the former were more costly,
in order to break down the jute bagging
combination. Resolutions of this sort only
show that the farmers feel that they have a
real grievance, and that they are seeking a
remedy for it. While some might use the
costlier bagging, the number that would do
so would not be sufficient to accomplish the
object aimed at.
The factors, it seems, do not favor cotton
bagging. Their objections to it, which
they present in interviews published in the
MORNING News yesterday, are worthy of
careful consideration. They think that
there is future for pine straw bagging, and
it would not be surprising if that article
should prove to be a satisfactory substitute
for jute bagging. The most effective way,
as the MORNING News has pointed out
frequently, to defeat the jute bagging
combination. is to repeal the duty on jute
butts and jute bagging. When the farmers
all over the country study the tariff as
they should fewer of them will be protec-
tionists

What "Colquitt" Means.

The term "Colquitt," as commonly used in
Georgia, is derived, as every schoolboy knows,
together; the word colloquy having the same
origin. The older COlquitts were everlasting
takers and once a famous jurist of that name
was the great wit OF the bench and bar of
Georgia. He it was who, when reproved by a
cody preacher one Sunday because he was
playing marbles with his sons, somewhat fud-
died tie devout man of God.
II will be compelled to testify against you in
heaven, Brother Colquitt." insisted the earnest
preacher.
Hadn't you better get down from your horse
and let me take your deposition and file it? You
see you may not get there, ~ responded Colquitt,
who surely played trumps in this "colloquy."
The senator of to-day is a son, without the
wit, but with more than the shrewdness and
tact of the plain old Judge.

Sherman Still Beeeinr Favors.

Senator John Sherman appears TO be un-
able to keep away from the white house 1t
has been announced several times that he
has no influence with the administration,
and that he has been treated so coolly by
the President on more than one occasion
that he felt that he had been snubbed.
He made an extraordinary effort to have
his friend ex-Congressman "Dick" Parsons
appointed comptroller of the treasury. He
failed, and it was then said that he had
made up his mind to ask nothing more
from the administration, and TO make it
feel his power in the Senate. According to
our dispatches, however he was back again
at the white house on Thursday, asking for
the appointment of another Ohio friend.
He either likes to be snub5ed, or else he
feels under such obligations to his friends
that he will 90 what no can to assist them in
getting offices, even at the risk of being
slubbed.
1t may be that he is afraid that if he does
not continue to act as an office broker for
his constituents he will lose his grip on his
state. Whether or not he has given up all
hope of being nominated for the presidency
is an unsettled question, but it is certain
that he has not determined to retire from
public life. His activity in assisting the
Ohio Office seekers seem to indicate that he
wants u retain his pla e in the Senate if he
cannot be President.

A Remarkable Letter.

Several weeks ago the house of the late
Prof. Cunning was destroyed by fire in
Altamont, Orange county, Florida. A cor
respondent of the New York Herald, who
evidently is relative of Prof. Cunning,
for she signs herself Mary Cunning, writes
to that paper from Greeley, Col, that the
fire was of incendiary origin, and in con-
nection with the statement she reflects
severely upon the citizens of Altsmont.
Not content with this, she makes charges
against the state, which would be damaging
if they were true. She says that corrupt
courts, corrupt bar which has never been
called to account for its corruption, and a
considerable outlaw aud alien element are
the chief features of the state; that the law
of the state is a revolver or a shotgun,
without which no man or woman there is
safe; and that the state is not safe place
for one who tells the truth about it. Be-
tween these statements she relates a story
Of the alleged prosecutions of Prof Cunning
while he was in Florida, and concludes by
saying that the half is still untold and can
never be told.
1t is rather remarkable that such a letter
should be published by newspaper not of
the bloody shirt stripe. What good can be
accomplished by it, Signed by woman,
it can neither be allowed 20 pass unnoticed,
nor be dealt with as otherwise it might be.
The correspondent says that she writes
With no personal feeling, but the tone of
the letter would justify the conclusion that
she had not thoroughly analysed her feel
ings. 1t is hardly possible that she would
make such unjust and unfounded charges
against the state and people of Florida I'M
less she was out Of her right mind or had a
grievance Of soma kind. Doubtless she has
a grievance, and concluded to fire a shot at
the Florida people at long range. 1t is a
pity that the Herald should have thought
it advisable to give her chance to vent
her spleen. There is satisfaction in the
thought, however, that her letter will do
nobody any harm. The Florida people are
too well and widely known for her charges
to be believed. There is no state in the
union with which people in all parts of the
union are better acquainted than Florida.

Modifying the Prescription

From the Sun Francisco Chronicle.
A friend of mine laid down the medical law
the other day. He said the first thing doctor
finds out when you send for him is your pet
taste habit, article of diet or beverage. Then
he orders you to stop it. If you aren't a very
big patient you have got to do it, But, said my
friend, know nan who was little sick the
other day and consulted his physician.

its mooring and sets a popular melody going.

A man named Lewis, who travelled in
Florida with a circus lately, and who,
while in the state. killed George Longstreet,
Of Or nge Nights, is supposed to have
been arrested in Railway, N. j., the othe r
day. Detective O'Hara received circular
descriptive of him, as we'll as photograph
Of him, and recently, while on a visit to
factory in Railway, he saw some one whom
he took to be Lewis. He secured employ
ment at the factory, so as to watch the
mans movements, and he worked the
pumping business so successfully that he
finally concluded that it would be safe to
make the arrest. The supposed murderer,
becoming suspicious, was on the point of
leaving for New York when he was ar
rested. The governor of Florida had Of
fered a reward OF 500 for his capture.

The prevailing sentiment in the Florida
legislature is that the state and the cities of
the state must be kept in the hands of white
men. There is no feeling of hostility to the
colored people, but the fact is recognized
that the colored people are not yet ready
for the places of trust and responsibility.
To put ignorance where intelligence is de-
manded would obstruct the states progress
and result in injury to both the whites and
the blacks.
There is perfect willingness to afford the
blacks every educational advantage, and if
they should ever stand on the same plane Of
intelligence that the whites occupy il will
then be time enough to discuss the advisa-
bility of welcoming them to the places of
power.
The legislature is now thinking of pro-
viding separate days for state and national
elections, and for making the payment of
poll tax necessary qualification for voting
at state elections. 1t is also thinking of
giving Jacksonville a charter that will in
sure it an intelligent and economical gov
eminent. Probably no more important
questions than these will come before it
during the present session.

American embezzlers and defaulters in
Canada, will be passed by the Canadian
parliament, notwithstanding the work done
and the Doodle said to be ready to be used
against it by the American colony" Par
lament has been memorialized by boards
of trade, banking houses, etc.. in America
to pass the bill. and Sir John Thompson,
minister Of justice, is represented as hav-
ing said that it would do so. Mr. Weldon,
the author of the BILL has received several
threatening letters, supposed to be from
American fugitives. The business Of the
courts of this country would be considera-
bly, increased if the bill should be passed,
and there would be good many more pen
itentiary birds than there are now.
