Cotton Culture in Russia.
The south had better look to her laurel

The south had better look to her laurels as
cotton-growing region. Russia is pl ant
ing large areas with cotton seed from the
southern states. Great quantities of cotton
seed from this country have been planted
this year on the Crimean peninsula and
various other places on the coast of the
Black sea, where cotton has never been
grown before. Cotton culture in these
localities is somewhat of an ex-
pertinent, and it remains to be
seen whether King Cotton transferred
to foreign soil will thrive as well as here.
But aside from this the cotton industry of
Central Asia has been continually growing.
Since Jan. 1, when navigation opeled on
the Caspian sea, the transportation COM
pany ''Kavkaz y Merkuri y" alone con-
veyed ?, 100000 pounds of cotton more than
it carried during the whole year of 1883.
The direct traffic from Central Asia to Mos
COW is even greater.

Croker to Testify.

Tammany is in good humor now. Its
chief, Mr.. Croker, has announced his pur-
pose to go on the witness stand and show
how bad man, and how unworthy of
belief, Brother in-Law Mccain is.
Mr.. Croker has been at home about a
week. and has by this time got pretty
clear idea of the situation. He
returned home before his physicians
thought it was safe to do so, for the sole
purpose of clearing up the charges which
his brother-in-law made, and which reflect
so injuriously upon the reputation of some
of Tammany's chieftains for honesty, and
upon Tammany's methods of conducting
the city government.
There is not much doubt that Mr.. Croker
will be able to DO what he proposes to do.
If he had had any doubt of his ability to
show that Mccain made false charges out
of spite for injuries which he thought had
been inflicted upon him by Tammanys
leaders he would not have left Europe yet
awhile.
The chairman of the Fassett investigating
committee has been notified of Mr.. Croker's
desire to appear before it, and it will be
convened within a few days. OF course.
Mr.. Croker will have to undergo a search
ing cross examination. The enemies of
Tammany will do their best to break him
down. 1t is pretty safe to predict, however,
that they will fail He has always borne
an excellent reputation for honesty, and no
amount of cross-examluation can place in a
bad light a clear-headed man who tells the
truth. Mr.. Crokers testimony will be
waited for with good deal of interest

A Wrong Impressio n.

Some of the northern newspapers have
the impression that the farmers alliance in
this state is an independent political party,
aud that it is its purpose to nominate can
didates Of its own for congress and for state
and county offices. This impression is an
erroneous one. Very nearly all the members
of the alliance are democrats. and they
have no intention of abandoning the Demo
cratic party. There are alliancemen who
are seeking Office, but they will not be can
didates unless they are nominated by regu
lar democratic conventions or mass meet
ings. The leading candidate for governor
is a member of the alliance, and he has the
support of the alliance, but no one
doubts that he is a sound democrat
If such differences should arise
between the alliance and the Democratic
party as would make it impossible for them
to work together in harmony, it is quite
certain that he would be found on the side
of the democracy. There is, however, no
indication that the alliance purposes to act
independently in politics. In some parts
Of the state there is a disposition
among alliancemen to favor as candidates
democrats who have declared themselves in
favor of alliance measures. As long as
these candidates are good democrats, how
ever, there is no valid reason why they
should not have the support of the alliance.
In three or four of the congressional dis
tricts men who are members of the alli-
ance. and who are advocates of the sub
treasury plan of that organization, want
to succeed the present representatives. The
Democratic party will say whether or not
it wants them when the time for doing so
arrives. In the meantime, the people will
have chance TO hear all that is to be said
for and against the measures which the
alliance favors.
1t may be that one or more alliancemen
will be nominated for congress. 1t is quite
certain, however, that no democratic con-
gressional convention will nominate an
allianceman who is not sound democrat.
1t is alleged that the Georgia representa-
tives in congress are greatly disturbed by
what they hear about the intentions of the
alliance. 1t is natural, of course, that they
should be, but they can rest assured that
alliancemen in no congressional district are
going to oppose the denomination of faith
full and efficient representative simply to
crafty new man whose sole claim to their
support is that he is their friend and
member of their organization. A few may
be influenced to abandon tried and true
democrats by the argument that alliance
men ought to support members of their
organization, but the great majority of the
members of the alliance will favor demo
Gratis who are qualified to render efficient
service whether they are connected with the
alliance or not.
Those northern newspapers that are giving
their readers the impression that the dem
ocratic party of Georgia is disappearing,
and that the alliance is taking its place, will
find, before the present campaign for NOM
nations has progressed very far, that the
alliance is not hostile to the democr attic
party, and is not acting Independently of it.

End of the Credit-Mobilier.

The brief announcement is made that
Judge Thayer of Philadelphia has dissolved
the charter of the once famous Credit No
biIier, company which ruined so many
great men. Some fifteen years ago the
country was startled by the stories of the
grossest corruption in congress. arising out of
the building of the Union Pacific railroad,
and which involved the names of the most
prominent men in congress. 1t was during
a presidential election, and the matter was
made an issue then and again eight years
later during the Garfield campaign. Repu-
tations which had been towers of strength
were suddenly overwhelmed and covered
with infamy, and they who had been the
leaders of public opinion and public morals
were swept away in the maelstrom of pub
lie condemnation.
The Credit Mobiler and the Union Pacific
were one aud the same thing. The men
who controlled the one controlled the other.
Some very queer things were done in the
name of the Credit Moblier for the Union
Pacific. and the clouds of suspicion that
have so long hung over the men connected
with that corporation will probably never
be cleared away. The Credit Mobilier was
the construction company that took the
contract for building the Union Pacific.
1t was organized under the laws
of Pennsylvania in 1859, and
was then known as the Pennsyl-
vania Fiscal Agency. Later, when
gobbled up by the Union Pacific people, it
was Incorporated as the Credit Mobilier on
the plan of a similar organization with the
same name in France; hence its foreign
title The managers of the French concern,
like those of its American namesake, made
large fortunes out of it.
The government paid immense subsidies
to the Union Pacific, and the Credit Mobil-
Ter absorbed them; as, for instance, witnes ses
swore before a congressional investigating
committee that work for which the Union
Pacific paid nearly $4,000, 900, cost the
Credit Mobiler only S7,8)0.00o, being
a profit to the Credit Mobilier of over
$5,000,000. The subsequent assignments
of contracts to the Credit Mobilier and
seven trustees, and other suspicious trans
actions, resulted in an investigation before
what was kaown as the Pollard com nittee
Cakes Ames, then congressman, was
charged with selling to members of con-
gress shares of the capital stock of the
Credit Mobilier, with intent to bride them.
A vote of censure was passed on Ames
aud Congressman James Brooks, who
was connected with the affair.
regret being expressed that they could not
be expelled, as the offense was committed
long before their election to congress. Sine
then the Credit Mobilier has only lived in
history, and had almost been forgotten.
Its dissolution is the final act in one of the
most corrupt schemes that ever polluted
American politics.

New Way of Doing It.

The two men who had been sitting together
in the seat near the door of the car became
engaged in an animated controversy, and their
loud voices attracted the attention of all the
other passengers. Suddenly one of them rose
up and said, relates the Chicago Tribune:
