The GAINESVILLE EVENING TOBACCO
LEAF-CHRONICLE-and by the way,
that is very long name to write
says the poll tax law would bring in
revenue from n source that now
contributes nothing, "provided the
politicians did not pony up for their
constituents who were willing to
part with their votes for money, in
which case they would furnish the
revenue, and herein lies the great
objection to the bill i; it furnishes
opportunity for open and notorious
buying Of votes" Replying to the
T. Lie. the Memphis Commercial
says:
But our contemporary forgets that
under the Dorth and Myers laws the
buying of votes becomes very risky
business for the buyer, as he would
have to depend upon the promise
and assertion of its fullfillment by
the voter. He could not see the
ticket when voted nor could he pos
sibly ascertain subsequent to the
election anything about the vote.
But the Commercial forgets that
under the operations of the registra-
ton law, which requires the presen-
tation of certificate or permit to
vote, the corrupt vote-buyer is affor-
ded the opportunity of buying GER
tificates and thus preventing voters
from casting their ballots. The
election striker will not pay the poll
tax of the purchasable voter, for that
would not put money in such voters
pocket. He will buy the voters Ger
tificate and kill his vote.

The Toiler is rather tame and des-
titute of It's usual snap this week.
Brother Mellow ell is possibly other
wise engaged. He has had q good
deal of trouble lately trying to turn
Cousin Jere out of his later patch,
but Jere won't drive worth cent.
When he sees Brother Mcdowell
coming he curls his tail, capers
around, snorts and runs by the gap
every time. 1t was very careless
thing in Brother Mcdowell to go off
to East Tennessee with his candi-
date, leaving the gap down. Cousin
Jere is not very bad jumper, but he
is awful sure to go into places where
the gap is down.

It appears from this that the grain
crop of the country brought to the
producers of ii less money in 1888
than in either of the other four years
included in the table-and that while
the quantity raised is steadily in
creasing, the money value Of it is
steadily decreasing.

The st. Louis Republic gives
the following figures of the grain

has recently returned from wedding
trip to Europe, relates conversation she
held with Mrs. Grover Cleveland about
how she came to marry the ex-presi-
don't In reply to the question, ''How
long were you engaged to the president
before you were married. Mrs. Cleve-
land laughed and blushed and said: "Oh,
there are the most ridiculous stories told
about us, but honestly they are hardly
as funny as 1t really was. Uncle
Grover proposed to me five times
before l accepted him. First when
l was ID. and just laughed
at the idea, for he seemed so much old
er. Then again, two years later, when
| went to college; and the third time
when he was elected governor of New
York, | was by no means ready to
marry anyone, and he let things go for
a year, or until he was nominated for
the presidency. Then he asked me
again. and again l refused. At last he
was elected and | promised to marry
him in a year. Of course always Liked
him better than anyone else, and al
ways meant TO marry him some day, but
Ill own the White House had some
thing to do with hurrying it up"

A Monaghan Newspaper.

The oldest journal in the metropolis is the

cancels hair pencil upon vermilion paper and
is pasted upon the wall Of No. 10 Of that thor
oughfare and on the two large telegraph poles
which stand between Chatham square and
Pell street. All day long it is read and studied
by the almond eyed crowds Even in the
evenings belated laundryman can be seen
running his eyes over its tea chest characters.
Yesterday l was one Of the throng, and,
thanks to a friend who is a good Chinese
scholar, was enabled TO get fair knowledge
of the days ISSUE There was a considerable
similarity between it and our own dailies.
There was the latest proclamation from the
emperor of China, communication from the
embassy at Washington, a letter from the
consul, an account of an anti-Chinese outrage
in Idaho, a news item of food in China, a
dozen of "want ads,n few laundries for
sale, death notice and a call for a meeting
of some benevolent society. The editors were
called scribes, and write at the order of their
customers, charging good figure for their
skill with the brush The favorite editor is
said to make as high as $40 day, but beyond
his editorial work no writes cards, literary
compositions and prsyer tickotS for his Gus

John Sherman, from the Senate
finance committee, has reported a
substitute for his antitrust bill. 1t
proposes on its face to hedge about
very strong and crush out all trusts,
but there will be plenty of gaps left
down by which the law may be evad-
ed. To crush out trusts means crush
the Republican party, and Of course
John Sherman don't mean to do
that. Trusts are like persimmon
sprouts, the more you cut down the
more sprouts viii put out. The only
way is to take them up by the roots,
remove the cause. John Sherman's
financial policy is the foundation of
trusts.
