Too Much For the Barkeeper.

If there is one thing that "Al" Vail, the we'll
known barkeeper, is prouder of than his good
looks, says the Cincinnati TJmes-Star. it is his
knowledge of all species of mixed drinks and
his ability in getting them up in good style
A few days ago a stranger wearing title a
glass diamond and rosy headlight glow upon
his nose stepped up to the bar and said
"Give me some fortunatus la Franchise

''I'll have it ready in a moment. You want a

the setting sun. II thought knew ~

The cashier waited TO make an entry, stepped

And then he let up!'
Yes, but very reluctantly"
And then the desperate presented you with
a silver-mounted revolver as a token OF graft

He did; but how on earth did you"
And he begged the cashiers pardon, and ex-
planned that his mother in Massachusetts was
dying and he wanted money to go to her?''
Ihats 1t, that's it; but now did you get the
particulars?''
And then you raised a purse of SIS. and sent
the man on to see his mother die?'

Open the Doors in These Cases.


The Senate ought to consider the nomi-
nations of Judge Swayne and Marshal
Mizell with open doors. Senator Call has
asked that they be considered in open ses-
sion. 1t would be interesting to hear what
Hoar, Chandler and other republicans have
to say in defense of the partisan course of
these officials. They certainly cannot de-
fend the letter of Marshal Mizell in which
be told his deputy to send the names of
tried and true republicans to the commits
sioner, who is charged with the duty of
selecting men for jurors without regard to
their politics.A
The wholeAcountry would be deeply in
terested In the debate that would take place
on Swayne's and Mizell's nominations if
they were considered with open doors. A
great flood of light would be thrown on
republican methods in the south. The
country would learn something of outrages
which the republican press has steadily
kept in the background.
A refusal to consider the nominations of
Swayre and Mizell with open doors will
amount TO an admission that the republican
senator's do. not dare to have the acts and
records of the men their party puts into
office in the south publicly reviewed SEN
ator Calls demand for an open session is
equivalent to challenge to the republicans
to discuss the causes of the recent political
disturbances in Florida. Do they dare to
accept the challenged

Col A. L. Harris, better known as
FATTY" Harris, hasdeserted the Republican
party of Georgia. He says: There is no
Republican party in Georgia. There is a
small. close corporation of a few negroes
and white men who keep up just enough or
ganization to send themselves as delegates
to republican national conventions and to
keep themselves in Office" Harris seems TO
have a pretty correct idea of Georgia repub-
licanism. He can't look back upon bis
political record with much satisfaction,
but possibly he has not siDned beyond re-
demption.

Probing the Rotten spots.


The trials and Investigations that are now
going on in New York and the arrests that
are being made there are not calculate to
impress one with the idea that the officials
of that city are honest The sheriff of the
county is being tried for conspiring to get a
divorce by. fraudulent means, wardens of
the prisons and deputy sheriffs are
being arrested for accepting brides, and
a committee of the state Senate is making
an investigation that is putting some of
the officials in a very unenviable position.
1t has been a good while since the ex-
posure of the Tweed ring. and it is prob
able that the alarm caused by it died out
long ago. The rascals have been having
everything pretty much their own way,
from present indications, for the last few
years. What is needed is thorough over
hauling of all the departments in the city.
The longer such an overhauling is delayed
the holder and stronger the rascals become.
Unfortunately, when the rascals are
caught they are not punished as severely as
they ought to be. The moral tone of New
York is too low. Only two or three of the
aldermen who were bribsd to grant the
Broadway surface railroad right of way
were sent to the penitentiary. The district
attorney said he could not convict the
others. He did not say why, but the pre-
sumption was that juries would not do their
duty. 1t would be we'll to spend in New
York some of the money that is used for
converting heathens. Missionary work is
certainly needed there.

The Cotton Baeeine Tare Issue.

At the meeting Of the representatives Of
/ the alliances of the cotton states in At
/ laata on Wednesday, it WAS decided to con-
tluue the use Of cotton baggiag as a cover
I ing for cotton bales, and cotton farmers
were urged 10 insist that the tare upon cot
ton covered bales should be sixteen
/ pounds. The tare on jute covered
/ Gales is tweuty-fcu- pounds, and that
is the tare, as a general thing, on bales
| whatever their covering is. As cotton bag
1 ging is much lighter than jute bagging, it
would be but justice to make the tare on
Gotten covered bales 10 pounds.
/ Have the allancemen exhausted diplo-
macy in their efforts to get foreign markets
to fix the tare at sixteen pounds! 1t is true
that they brought the matter before
| the cotton exchanges OF this country, and
| these exchanges replied, in effect, that they
would gladly adopt the sixteen pounds tare
for cotton covered bales if the exchanges in
Europe could be induced to adopt it. Their
position was, and is, that as Europe is the
controlling market the proposed change
must be made there before it can be sue
| cessfuliy made here.
The alliancsmen propose to force the
change by holding cotton in warehouses
until the exporters CT cotton signify their
willingness TO adopt it. As the alliancemen
clearly have justice on their side, would it
not be advisable for them to suggest a
conference between the exchanges of this
country and those of Europe, through repre-
sentatives selected by each? If the proper
steps were taken tie proposed change could
be brought about, doubtless, without fric-
ton, or loss to anybody.
If the suggestions of the allancemen are
carried into effect cotton farmers will DO
pat to a good deal of inconvenience and ex-
pense, because the cotton cannot be stored
in warehouses and kept there for any length
of time except at considerable cost to the
owners of it.
The exporters cannot adopt the sixteen
pounds tare unless that tire is recognized
by the exchanges of Europe. The differ
ence between that tare and the recogniz,d
tare is eight pounds, which means about
20 cents bale. That is more than the
profit OF the exporters. The exchanges of
Europe last season refused to recognize the
sixteen pounds tare because they were not
aware of the extent to which cotton bagging
would be used. They thought that
very little of it would be used,
and hence they objected to
the Introduction of another tare. They are
now aware, however, that cotton baggng
Is coming into general use, and it is highly
probable that if another effort was made
they would concede the sixteen pounds tare.
a no hat MIA 4c
the matter squarely before the exchanges of
this country and Europe before resort ting to
the forcing process! A little diplomacy at
this iuncture might bring about an under
standing that will be satisfactory to all
parties. 1t will be time enough to resort to
the forcing plan when the other fails.
