wenton Robbery.

During the consideration Of the iron
schedule Of the Mckinley tariff bill in the
Senate or Friday, Senator Butler declared
that the tax which the bill puts on co ten
ties was wanton robbery, and it Is safe to
say that about everybody, except the man
ufacturers of cotton ties, agrees with him.
The tariff tax on cotton ties is now IS per
cent I'D valcren The bill increases the
tax 70 8 2-1O cents per pound. or 1O3 per
cent ad valorem. II it should become a
law the tax would bs about Three times as
great as it is at present. It is not to be
wondered at. therefore. that Senator Butler
call d the proposed tax wanton robbery.
Is it claimed that the manufacturers Of
cotton ties do not make fair profit at
present If it is that fact has not been
brought to tie attention of the public There
is no reason to doubt that the cotton tie
manufacturers are making a greater profit
on the product of their factories than the
farmers are making On cotton. Why. then,
should the cotton tie Tax be increased
Mr.. Aldrich said that the finance com
mittee, Of its own motion, had determined
to increase the tax on cotton ties, so as TO
make it equal to the tax on ties used
for other purPooas. 1t does not seem to
have occurred 10 the finance committee
that the tax on the different kinds Of ties
could be equalized by reducing the tax on
ties used for other pui poses than combining
cotton in bales. In equaiizing the different
taxes upon ties the interests of a few
manufacturers seems to be of vastly more
importance in the eyes of the republican SEN
ators than those of thousands of farmers, and
yet these sane senator's, together with
Speaker Reed and Maj. Mckinley, have
been asserting ever since the present tariff
bill was reported by the ways and means
committee that it is a farmers bill II they
should say that it is a bill to rob the farmers
they would come much nearer the truth.
The reason Speaker Heed refused to
permit the bill to be debated in the House is
now becoming apparent. He was well
acquainted with its outrageous character,
and he was afraid to let the country become
acquainted with it. There is no way to cut
off debate in the Senate, and the people are
beginning to find out the truth about this
stupendous scheme of robbery which bears
Maj. McKinley's name.

A Record to be Proud OF.

sion without realizing how warm-hearted
and generous the American people are.
The call for contributions met with mag
unanimous response. Every state and terri
tory in the union, except the Indian
territory, as the list shows, sent
financial aid to the food sufferers.
Contributions aggregating Sal, 800 were
received from sympathetic givers in foreign
countries. The total American contribu-
tions were 5,60I, 517. The result is that to-
day, where there was ruin and desolation a
year ago, thriving town existe, as busy
and as largely populated as ever.
There were about $500 lives lost in the
food ninety-nine families we're wiped out;
124 wives we're left widows and ninety eight
children lost both parents. The sworn
statement Of loss of property aggregated
80, ga, 105, but the commission estimates the
loss at between 100000 and $1,000 600.
Thus it will be seen that the contributions
aggregated from 40 to 80 per cent. of the
amount of losses.
This is a record of which the American
people may be proud. The money which
was eft over after 6, 229 individuals received
aid was, as is known, divided among the
survivors in proportion to their losses. 1t
was the foundation stone upon which they
began rebuilding their fortune

How Reporters Landed q Count.

The recent assassination of Count Okomo by
socialists at public demonstration in Toxic
recalls clever ruse eoncocted by Chicago re-
porters whereby the count was landed for an
ter, through his private secretary, refused to
see any member of the press, and something
had to be done. So one OF the reporters wrote
note to the count, in ich he represent ed
himself as public official accompanied by a
corps of private secretaries. He desired to
call on the count and obtain from him his
views, etc. This officialism and red-tape bust
ness caught the count and he directed that the
young man and his secretaries be shown to his
a artments. The young official" and his corps
of secretaries entered the counts presence in
the manner prescribed by state etiau tie. bv
previous agreement the ''puolic official" asked
the questions, and when the count replied said
official turned to his corps and said: Put
that down"
Having obtained "a column of nonpariel" the
young official withdrew his corps, and the
next morning all the papers contained the
counts views.

We have received number of commu-
nications from farmers asking us to advise
farmers to hold on to their cotton until late
in the fall, the opinion of the writers of the
communications being that if farmers will
do so they will get a better price. The
farmers must judge for themselves whether
or not it is advisable to hold their cotton.
Nobody can say at present that the price
of cotton will be better in November than
in September.

Papal 10 huence.

European rulers and statesmen who fan
cied that the Roman church's power was
over, and that with the demolition of tenn
poral sovereignty all other kind of authority
would speedily come to an end, are begin
ming to realize that the vatican is playing
an increasingly important part in
European politics. The clerical issue
remains the principal partisan
issue in half Of the countries of the CONT
nent 1t is practically the only issue there
is In Dutch and Belgian politics. 1t marks
the line Of cleavage between the factions in
France. 1t holds control of legislation in
the German Reichstag. 1t has just over
turned the ministry in Spain and Austria
From the amount of questioning in parlia-
ment and speech-makiug aud letter writing
outside on this subject, it would seem that
English politics is also divided on this
burning clerical ISSUE The whole of Eng
LAID is excited because the Prince of Wales
has written letter saying, as matter of
courtesy, that he thought Cardinal Man
ming ought to be given precedence next to
royalty in England.
The real significance of this sudden re-
vival Of excitement about Rome
turns, as most other contemporary move
ments in English politics do, upon the Irish
question. The vatican receives favors from
the British government and, in return, it is
alleged, exerts its influence in Ireland to
bolster up the sinking fabric of landlord
control There is apparently evidence of the
existence of this understanding in the con-
cession made by Lord Salisbury which al
lows Catholic prelates to declare invalid
mixed marriages in Malta. 1t is evident
that the pope's influence is not waning.
