Attorney General Miller Makes an Import
ant Decision Regarding Treasury Notes.
WASHINGTON, May 27.-Attorney General
Miller has decided the Secretary of the
Treasury has no authority under the act of
July II, 1890, to issue Treasury notes provided
for by that act except in payment of the
bullion purchased each month under its pro-
visions, but that the gain or seinornge
arising from the coinage of bullion
under the act, when paid into the
Treasury, becomes part of the general
cash and as such may be used under existing
law like any other standard silver dollars
and that silver certificates may be issued
against such dollars as may be offered at the
Treasury for exchange, whether such silver
dollars represent profit or seignorage or
otherwise. The scignorage fund now
the issue of silver certificates may be in
creased to that extent. The Secretary of
Treasury is also considering proposition to
silver half dollars in the Treasury.

ADVICE FOR SOUTHERN FARMERS.

The advice is being urgently pressed
upon Southern farmers that they
should take especial steps to diversity
their crops. The Atlanta Constitution
says their troubles are due to their practice
of overstocking the cotton market and
sending their money to distant States to
buy food staples, and that they must use
their opportunity to raise cattle and cereal
crops instead of cotton. This is prac-
tically the advice Governor Bragg gave
some years ago, when he told them that
they should "raise more corn and less cot
ton;" and on delving into the past it is
discovered to have an even more ancient
date. 4 copy of the Niles Register of
1928 cited the advice of a North Carolina
paper of the same date to exactly the
same effect, and in adding its Endorsement
quoted the remark made eight or ten years
before by ga distinguished cotton planter,
then Senator of the United States" that
''the time was close at hand when cotton,
because of its overproduction, would be a
bad business, and that it became him and
others to look out in due season for the
cultivation Of new products to employ
their capital and labor"
Yet the fact remains that for sixty or
seventy years the agricultural districts of
the South gave almost exclusive attention
to the cotton crop, and will likely do so
for generations to come The theory of
diverSification is good one; but the prac-
ticc will always be ruled by this criterion:
whether On given number of acres on
which the planter might raise corn he can
raise cotton that will in the market pur-
chase him more corn than if he raised the
corn himself. If he can he will continue
TO raise cotton; if not he will proceed to
plant corn next year. No professional
man who buys clothes instead of spending
his evenings making them for himself can
say that this policy is wrong; and the idea
that tire South has languished because of
this .poli2y is far from well grounded.
There have been plenty of other reasons
why the South has Jagged behind the
North; and when VIC reflect that within
the past twenty year that section has built
up magnificent prosperity out Of utter ruin
by giving especial attention TO cotton, it Is

THE commencement of work on the Trans
Siberian railways is to be signalized by the
granting of numerous pardons to prisoners
in Siberia. No mention is made however,
of including political prisoners in the Glenn
ency of the autocrat. The Gear may be able
to forgive robbers and murderers, but the
crime of trying to ameliorate the political
condition of the Russian people is something
he does not seem able to pardon.

Steps That Should Be Taken.
Eighty Finally the undersigned set
forth that in order to contribute to the real
ization of'the means they have above enum-
Grated, it is very much desired, and they
themselves ardently hope, that in all Catho-
lie countries from which emigration is TAX
under its particular good will the special
seminaries and apostolic schools which
have been instituted for the education
Archangel Raphael societies for the
protection of emigrants. They moreover
hope that the Holy. See will recommend
to their lordships, the bishops, the founda-
ton OF these societies in all emigration coun-
tries where they do not as yet exist, and the
placing of the said societies under the
guardianship of cardinal protector. From
this organization and these measures the
undersigned hope for most fortunate and
most speedy results. A number of mis-
sionaries. trained under the guidance of an
eminent italian bishop, have already gone
to America. Others of nations which are
neighbors of italy, before setting out to un-
dertake their important and sanity minis
try, are awaiting for the supreme pastor of
the universal church to guarantee them the
untrammeled exercise of that ministry by
decree Of his infalrfble wisdom.
Thus, provided, the Holy See will lend
its indispensable cooperation marvellous re-
suits will be obtained. In this wise the poor
enigrants will find again upon the soil Of
America their own parishes, Schools their
own societies, their own language and they
will prove the means of extending the limits
of Jesus Christ's kingdom upon earth. For
the greater good of souls and for the glorif-
cation of our Holy Mother, the Church,
among the different nations of America the
undersigned, protesting their faithful attach
ment to the Holy Apostolic See, do suppli-
cate your Holiness to bestow your paternal
approval upon the measure which they have
herein proposed.
with the most profound, most respect
full veneration they profess themselves, most
Holy Father, your submissive, humble and
obedient sons
