1t now seems probable that Blaine's
counsels will prevail, and that there
will be no Federal election law after
all. II is not in the least inconsistent
with the character Of this gentleman
that the idea which he fathered In 'S4
should suffer dis-inhcritance, the con-
ditions having vastly changed, In 1890.
Now that the measure Is on the wane
we confess to wish that 1t should be
passed. 1t would bring up direct
test between the two forces, negro
majorities and white supremacy, and
hasten the collapse of condition
which cannot and should not settle into
permanency.

SUBSCRIPTION: Sl.OO Per Year.

The only trouble with the young man In
question was that he had been drinking too
much liquor. he has been fully informed
Of the reason for his retention in office, and
as he is young gentleman OF naturally
high character his reform is complete and
it is believed permanent. This true story
illustrates the kindly disposition OF the
present Secretary, and 1t is safe to presume
that even those who are altogether strangers
to him viii be kindly and charttably dealt
with in all such cases, Secretary Noble IS
> very hard working man indeed, and In
this respect he is not unlike his predecessor,
Colonel Villas. The department hours are
from nine o'clock in the morning until four
o'clock in the afternoon. Secretary Noble
arrives at eight o'clock and sometimes at
half-past seven in the morning and remains
until six in the evening, frequently return
ing after supper to work In his office until
nearly midnight.
In common with the other Cabinet OFF,
GERS the time of the Secretary Of the In
terror is so occupied by callers who throng
his Office during the day, except on Cabinet
days, that it is almost impossible for him
to transact the current business of the
department during office hours Therefore
it seems to be necessary for him to return
at night, when, all being quiet around hlmt
he can examine cases and append his sig
nature to the hundred or more OF letters
before him. He is a stout, robust man with
iron-gray beard and almost totally gray
hair. His locks are sill1en and rivaled In
beauty alone by tho suit of hair which
crowns the head of Senator Ingalls,, of Kan
sas. His face is strongly marked, but his
skin is soft and pink and beautiful as that
of babe That he is a strong man is
amply known to a caller by the hearty
clasp of his hand. He has beautiful, large,
expressive eyes, and his voice is as soft
and winsome as ever came from the lips
of man. This may seem like fulsome fiat
terry of the Secretary, but it is merely the
re-echong, not of my own views but of
the opinions expressed by all who have had
the pleasure Of coming In contact with this
remarkable gentleman.

COLON VS. JuTE

The Farmers of Georgia Evidently Mean
Business in Their Fight Against the JUte
Bagging Trust.
The Georgia State Alliance, at it s ses-
sion in Macon, placed orders for about
2 900, 900 yards of cotton bagging to cover
the cotton crop of the State. On the
question OF supply sufficient for the crop
Chairman w. J. Northen says: There
will be enough for Georgia. In addition
TO the mills heretofore manufacturing,
we now have the Lagrange Mills, the
Crown Mills at Dalton and the Slbley
Mills at Augusta. Furthermore, we have
commended to the farmers who live near
the mills to use lighter cotton
covering, as there will be little or
no transportation and no rough handling
to deliver this cotton to the mills. Again,
Dalton, Lagrange, West Point and Sibley
mills are making for us an excellent artl-
Gle of duck which will answer every pur-
pose for cotton bagging. Wilkes County
has just bought 80, 900 yards of duck from
Dalton that gives perfect satisfaction.
There will be no trouble about supplying
the farmers in Georgia. The Liverpool
Exchange will not decline to receive the
cotton covered with cotton bagging. They
only decline to allow any reduction in
tare. / do not understand that they have
even gone so far as to be positive in that
Nevertheless we are preparing to meet
such a contingency. In the first place, we
are bringing to bear for their cOnsidera-
ton all the possible influences in our
favor. The Augusta, Savannah and New
Orleans exchanges have already de-
clared in favor of a reduction. We have
! every reason to believe that New York
will early next month. The cotton ex-
| changes are united to meet in New Or
leans to urge the allowance Of tare. IL
| Liverpool declines the reduction that VIII
not change the determination Of the farm
| ers az to the use of cotton baggiug. They
are going to use cotton bagging as set
/ tied fact. They will demand the tare. 1t
/ is Just and right, and they should have 1t.
| We have means by which viii get It,
| / think. The farmers will meet their OBJ
| legations as they mature. We hope to
| have their cooperation aud Of every
| good citizen in this fight, for it means a
| deal more than the Jute Trust. The far M
/ ers viii come out all right on cotton bag
| ging."

They Wanted stnmpa.

An unsuccessful attempt was made to
rob the post-office at birmingham, Ala.
Soon after midnight the night mailing
clerk noticed three suspicious looking
characters lettering about the lobby and

The clerk kept his eye on them, and soon
afterward caught them at the door Of the
postmaster's private Office preparing TO
gain entrance. They discovered him
watching them and fed. The Office had

Washington, and there was also consid-
cradle money IL the Office. The mailing

The board Of directors of the New Or
leans Cotton Exchange has sent to all
exchanges and boards of trade an invita-
ton to a convention of the cotton inter-
ests on September II, to agree on form
OF adjustment of the difference in the tare
between cotton and jute bagging. The
proposition is that from certain date all
cotton shall be sold by net weight, allow
ing five per cent. of the gross weight for
jute and three and half per cent for
cotton bagging.

general public and never apparently grow
weary of their troubles and trials the Secre-
tary must be apohshed gentleman.
The present tincumbento of the Office, Gener-
alJOhn W. Noble, comes up to every require
ment of the position and IS equal to every
occasion. He IS a very handsome man and
his smile IS one of those contagious evil
dences not only Of good humOr but of COM
radeship that puts his visitor at ease i'm
mediately. The heads of bureaus of the
great department all speak OF him in the
highest terms as a man eminently well
qualified for his position, who grasps the
ideas presented to him upon every case of
every kind and reaches a speedy conclu-
sion concerning both the law and facts be-
fore him. With the general public, especial
ly with the representative men of the day,
General Noble has became very popular.
I have seen his room so thronged with
people that it was almost impossible for
him to turn around from one to another to
grasp their hands and hear their story; yet
he was enabled to send them all from the
room one by one with the belief that each
one had gained his especial favor; andprob-
ably all of them were correct Secretary
Noble is always careful to make a note Of
promises made by him 50 that he is remind
ed of such promises and he never fails to
keep them. A very peculiar case was pre-
sented to him few weeks ago, and as it
ness of the man it may as well be related
here without violating any confidence.
A young man in the Interior Department
was recommended for discharge by the
head of the bureau in which he was en-
ployed Under ordinary circumstances the
recommendation of a head Of a bureau re-
,eives the approval Of the Secretary. But
when this case came before General Noble
the name seemed familiar TO him, and before
taking action upon it he made inquiry.
After obtaining full information upon the
subject concerning the young man, he wrote
a letter TO the head Of the bureau in which
he said:
t'TVhile I recognize the fact that you have
right to urge favorable action upon your
recommendation for the discharge Of this
young man, you will understand my hesi-
fancy when say to you that many years
ago when l went to KeolzuK, Ia, as a young
lawyer, one of the prominent men Of that
thriving Western city was especially my
friend and did me many acts of kindness,
which enabled me to make a successful
start in life as a young lawyer. I can never
forget his kindness, and could not
enumerate the many good things that he
did for me. The young man whom you
have recommended for dismissal Is a grand
son Of that good friend Of my young man
hood With these vivid recOIlectiOns Of the
goodness Of that man toward me yOu can
readily understand that the discharge or
his grandson from this department would
come with an Ill grace from me. Therefore,
recognizing the fact that you have a right
TO demand the dismissal Of the young man,
according TO your recommendation, have
20 request Is a personal favor to myself

ton and give the young man another
