1t is serious question that the cotton
growers of the cotton States are to take
up in the convention that is to be held for
the purpose of considering the advisable
ity of reducing the acreage of cotton cul-
tivation. The competition of their rivals
in the East Indies and ir Egypt has so
far reduced the price of the staple that
it has become Improbable to raise it in
some of our Southern regions that are re-
garded as poorly adapted to the raising
of any other crop. Several ways of deal
ing with this competition. while keeping
up or even increasing the present cotton
acreage, have been suggested, but they
are deemed impracticable by the more
experienced and we'll informed planters.
An exchange of views on the subject be-
tween those directly concerned in it ought
to prove serviceable to them, if care be
taken to avoid hasty or unenlighteued
conclusion upon it. There is no doubt at
all that other crops than cotton can be
raised with advantage upon much of the
land that is now and for century past
has been, devoted to its culture under
slave labor or under free labor. New

The Reynolds County Reputation

The Reynolds County Reputation.
In it's issue of 18th inst the Rey.
nolds County Outlook has an article
taking exceptions to our structures on
the action of the county by its proper
officials, in attempting to repudiate
its county warrants, and inferen tally
intimates that it's none of our bust.
ness.
Our attention was specially called
to the matter by seeing notices oft in
the papers, and because only few
years ago like attempt was made to
defeat county warrants issued by Rey-
| nolds county court in favor of our then
jailor, w. A. Fletcher, for keeping
their prisoners. After waiting several
years, he brought suit on. them, and,
| after contending was successful and
judgment was rendered against the
county. We comment on the suit now
pending because we, as a public journ-
al, have right to do SO. Reynolds
county is part of the State. We are
a part of the State. Whatever dis
graces Reynolds county disgraces and
casts odium on the State of Missouri.
The reputation of fair, honest debt
by any county, where full value has
been received, is a moral wrong
that no county can be guilty of with
out disgrace. No exigency can JUS
tify it. We are very much surprised
that the Outlook should say one word
in extenuation of the wrong thus at
tempted.
The writer in the Outlook tries to
ease his conscience for what he evil
IDENTIFY feels to be wrong, by saying
that the warrants are not "nOw held
by Mr.. Shy, Mr.. Jordan, Mr.. Dobbins
and others,'' = but he adds, "We can
say in all fairness that those payees
have long ago parted with their inter
est in the warrants upon which the
suit has been brought, and that they
have, so far as these warrants are con-
cerned, no demand upon the county Of
IeCS hoidS, buN <si Z iN1iJ anu hohSSeiJ
paid" Very true. "They are fully
and honestly paid" but did Reynolds
county pay them a cent? Shy, Dob
bins, and the others, held the war
rants and waited for years; then sold
them to others able to wait q while
longer. These paid their money for
them. Is it less a crime, less fraud,
less disgrace, to repudiate these war
rants because they are held by some
one not citizen of the county or the
state, than it would be if they were
still held by Shy, Dobbins and the
others? If they are illegal, these lat
ter parties would be liable to pay back
the money they got for them with in
terest. No, no! That will not do.
The county that will repudiate war
rants issued to its officers for salaries
for honest services rendered-is as
effectually disgracing itself as the man
who runs grocery bill for his family
use, and then repudiates it by saying
he was not twenty-one years old when
he con tracted the debt!
AS we said before, We do not believe
the people of Reynolds county will ap-
prove this attempted wrong. The
amount involved is small; be honest
and pay your honest debts like honest
men.

Free Traders May Like 1t, But Protection
lists Want None of 1t.
1t is well, perhaps, to guard against
assaults upon the Tariff of 1890, which
are based upon changes of value either
up or down which are always occurring
and have no relation to tariff legisla-
ton. Supply and demand. change of
public tastes and multitude of other
causes always in operation lead to
changes in prices, and they will not
cease to act now. 1t is for reasonable
men to discern the true causes and not
be misled by demagogues or newspapers
having political ends to serve. The
trainers of the new tariff bill and its
friends look for important results from
its adoption, affecting broadly the pros
perity of the American people. They do
not hesitate to avow that cheapness is
of no advantage when it is the effect of
general impoverishment and inability
to purchase; when every man wants to
sell and there are no buyers; when trade
languishes and warehouses are crowded
with goods; when men have no money to
buy, because their industries are crippled
and they can earn but little wages; when
farmers have to burn their corn and cat
tie are slaughtered for their hides only,
because the workmen are unemployed
and the markets stagnant.
The friends of the new bill say that
good wages and steady work are better
than cheapness, and that an active de-
mand and firm prices for merchandise
mean prosperity for the people, for
those who pay and for those who earn
wages. 1t is the signal for an indus
trial revival, for a new advance in ma
tional greatness and wealth, in which
all will share and all but the free trader
rejoice. Let free traders exult in cheap
ness, in the depression of our industries,
in low wages, in the general distress of
all classes of our people. The vulture
loves his carrion not more than the free
trader longs for cheapness- Let the
people starve SO he may get his raiment
for half price; let woman suffer and toll
so he may hire the labor of the man for
a song; let the busy industries of the
people stagnate and perish so he may
see foreign trade increase and foreign
manufacturers thrive; let him enjoy
this feast. of cheapness to his fill, and
gloat over it This may be English,
but it is not American. and the Ameri-
can people have no sympathy with It.

terday. He was in the 10th year of his
age.
The York-Pomeroy bribery expose,
in which the deceased was a central
figure, is familiar to all readers.
Samuel C. Pomeroy was born in
Southampton, Mass, January 8, 1916,
and his boyhood was spent upon his
fathers farm. In 1886 he entered Am
herst college, but at the end of two
years leaving college he went to reside
In Monroe county New York, where he
continued for four years. He then re-
turned to his motive town of South
ampton.
In 1910, during the time of his resi-
dence in New York, he heard Alvin
Stewart speak on the subject of slavery,
and, deeply impressed with his elo-
quence, became a ready convert to anti
slavery principles and began to labor
to promote them. He lectured in schools
and preached from house to house. An
nually for eight years he was on the
anti-slavery ticket for the Massachu-
sets legislature, but was unsuccessful
until 1852, when he was elected over
both wings and democrats
At the time of the passage of the
Kansas and Nebraska bill in 1854 Mr..
Pomeroy was in Washington With

Eli Thayer under a charter obtained
from the Massachusetts legislature
organized the New England emigrant
aid society, and in this enterprise was
ably seconded by Mr.. Pomeroy. On
August 81, 1854, the first band of
emigrants under the leadership of
Mr.. Pomeroy, numbering two hun
dred, started west from Boston.
Amid the disturbance and violence of
the year 1856 Mr.. Pomeroy was in the
of the fray. In 1857 his polit-
zeal career began with the Lecompton
constitution. About this time he was
elected mayor of Atchison. He was
conspicuous in the organization of the
territorial government and participated
in the free state convention that met
at Lawrence in 1859. During the
famine in Kansas in 1861 he was presi-
dent of the relief committee Mr. Pom
eroy was a delegate to the national
republican conventions of 1856 and
1860. He was elected as a republican
to the United States senate in 1861 and
reelected in 1867. He was candidate
for a third term in 1878, when the
charges of bribery were presented by
Col York. For many years there

There is class growing up in
this city, known abroad as "scav-
engers," but which has not been
known here till within the past few
years. They are mostly boys of from
six to fifteen years of age, who scour
the streets of the town, and the
wharves along the harbor front, in
search Of whatever plumber they
can lay their hands on. They may
be recognized by carrying bags,
when empty under the arm, when
full on the back or head. They do
not hesitate to take u loose picket
or board from the fence Or any
loose lumber from the wharf. Only
the other day, two boys were seen
tearing off broken plank from
one Of the wharves, in broad day
light. Two others were driven
from private premises on King
street, where they had picked their
bags full from the loose stuff lying
about house IN course of cree
ton. Such tramps are common
nuisances, and should be arrested
by the police and taken in custody.

FRIDAY, Sept. IL.
Chief Justice Judd has sustained the
defendants plea in abatement in the
action OF ejectment, and for damages,
brought by the Waikapu Sugar Co. VS..
the Hawaiian Commercial and Sugar
Co. Both plaintiff and defendant are cor
porations, the stock of the plaintiff cor

action was authorized and brought in the
name of the Waikapu Sugar Co. by w. II.
c., its president. The defendant pleaded
that the action was not properly author
lied land claimed that the president ought
to have been authorized by vote of the
stockholders to bring the action.
The plaintiffs counsel showed that no
vote could have been had, that, in other
words, there was deadlock, and claimed
that the president, by virtue OF his i'm
piled power and of general usage, could
authorize and bring the. action. The
court held otherwise, and ruled that, I'M
less by vote OF stockholders, the action
could not be brought, and sustained the
plea in abatement.
Upon inquiry of counsel for plaintiff as
to the course they would now follow, our
reporter was informed that under such
circumstances Mr.. George Macfarlane,
the stakeholder who claimed to be
aggrieved, could apply to the court by
bill in equity for leave to bring the action
in the corporate name OF the Waikapu
Sugar Co., if he wished his rights to be
considered by jury.
But, as counsel said, the interest OF MIR.
Macfarlane nay perhaps as well be set
tied in the suit in equity which is just
brought by the Hawaiian Commercial
and Sugar Co. VS.. the Waikapu Sugar
&c. The question then is whether any
authority can be got from the Waikapu
Sugar Co. to defend that suit.
