The proposition Of the Atlanta Constitu-
ton 10 boycott the North in case the Lodge
bill becomes "A laS, does not represent
Southern opinions in regard 10 the matter.
The boycott idea was advanced with an
cellent motive, but with poor Judgment and
insufficient consideration; and then ii was
apparently used for all that ii was worth as
a newspaper boom. II gets little support
even in Atlanta, where the public meeting

the boycott pigeonholed the lurid resolution
prepared by the editor Of the Constitution,

4 Word TO Secretary Noble.
philadelphia Times.l

Secretary Noble has made a good record
in the Interior Department. notably IN his
brave struggle to malt the Tanner pension
profigacy. and he should make I'm equally
good record in forcing a correct census.
The evidence is very general that our cen
sus has been very imperfectly taken this
year. From the South grave charges of
intentional suppression of growth in popula-
ton come up strongly supported by special
facts, and throughout the North like reports
of negligent or incompetent enumcraiors
are too numerous and too well supported
not To be needed.
Let Secretary Noble take a res0lute stand
i'm favor Ofan honest census for every section
of the country. and let him take time TO
verify all reasonable complaints. There is
no politics in the census, except Is aiew mad
rcyolutionlsis try TO make il political, and
Secretary Noble should squelch all such dis
graceful suggestions AT once. Give the Re
public honest census reports.

THE Nashville American puts it exactly
right when it says: "The passage of the
Force bill would make in the south every
respectable citizen Democrat. 1t would
concentrate all intelligence and all honesty
and all capital on the one side, while the
other would be made up of the slums Of
our post belum civilization"
That is the whole truth in nutshell
Everyone in the South who aspires in there
hottest degree to that almost extinct title,
"a Southern gentleman" would be aIrayed
soldly with the Democracy. while only the
"scum Of creation" would be on the other
side Under such circumstances, Force bill
or no Force bill the intelligence and re-
spectability Of the South would be certain
to win.

Fined for Clipping a Dogs Ears

Charles Carriers little bull dog was the sub
ject of discussion in the Police Court yesterday
morning. Carter called on Henry Matthews,
who, with dull penknife, made zigzag lines
about the animals ears. When Policeman
Anderson saw the bad piece of surgery he COM
municated the facts to Agent Key and the
latter brought the case into court.
Mr.. q. IL. Armstrong appeared as counsel in
the case. Agent Key claimed that this class of
dogs are clipped to put them i'll fighting trim,
because they then bring good prices. Mr..
Armstrong said he had heard that the ears
were cut for the purpose of keeping the flies
from annoying the dogs.
Judge Miller thought that the flaps of the
ears would protect the animals from the flies
Horses tails are sometimes clipped and it is
said 1t Is done TO prevent the flies from annoy
ing them, when IN fact it prevents the horse
from annoying the driver. The animals ears
are given them for some good purpose and it
is difficult TO tell just how much suffering the
clipping causes. As this was the first case of
the kind ever heard the court imposed u fine OF
S5 on Matthews.

If he is elected. He is man seventy four
years old, very vigorous. possessing a marked
individuality. He has a long white beard and
mustache and hair about six inches long. worn
i'll curls. He wears an old-fashioned white
beaver hat with broad brm and long fur on
it. Many years ago, when he was secretary of
legation In Great Britain. he danced with Queen
Victoria. and since then he has worn no shoes,
but dancing pumps, winter and summer. He
holds to the old habit of always wearing n
swallow tailed coat and rufiied shirt and
never puts on an oyercoat or carries
umbrella. The hobby of his
life is prison reform. He is an advocate of
solitary confinement for prisoners. 1t is said
of him that whatever side he takes of a question
he always goes to the extreme. His position
on the tariff question is the reverse of that
held by Mr. Randall

No Increase I'm the Price of Bread.

Editor of THE EVENING STAR.
/ sec from the recent reports of the meetings
of the employing bakers of this city that they
are cautiously but surely leading up to an in
crease of bread on the plea that 1t would be
impossible to sell bread at the present rate
at living prof. were the demands of
operative bakers complied with under the
advance in the price OF flour. Now believe
that 1t can be demonstrated beyond dispute
that the loaf of bread as sold in Washington
can be produced for less than three and a half
cents, labor, cost of delivery, rent, interest on
capital invested and all incidental expenses in
cluded, and that with the demands of the
journeymen complied with and allowing an in
crease of 10 per cent in the price of flour that
it can be produced for less than three and
three-quarter cents, then affordng Il net profit
of over 33 per cent on the cost of production at
the present retail price OF the loaf ) cents
l therefore ask you to kindly lay these facts
before your very numerous and intelligent
readers, that they may judge for themselves
how much the poor employing bosses must suf-
fer if they are compelled to do business at a
proht OF only 50 per cent. HARD BAKE.
