Pollp,s Dread Pmil

Our nexb-door neighbor owns an amusing
parrot. which Is always getting into mischief,
says the Ashland IN. c. Item, but usually
gets out again without much trouble to herself.
When she has done anything for which she
knows she ought 20 be punished she holds her
head 20 one side, and, eyeing her mistress, says
In sing song tone, "Polly is a good girl - until
she sees her mistress smile; then she flaps her
wings and cries out: "Hurrahi Polly is a good
girll" She has been allowed TO 20 free In the
garden, where she promenades back and forth
summing herself and warning OFF all intTuders
One morning ben strayed out OF the chicken
yard and was quietly picking up her BREAKFAST,
when Poll marched up to her and called out
'ShooP' Ia her shrill voice. The poor hen re-
treated to her own quarters, running as fast as
she could followed by Poll, who screamed
~Shool" at every step.
A few days later Poll extended her morning
walk into the chicken yard. Here, with her
usual curiosity, she went peering into every
corner, till she came to the old hen on her nest
The hen made dive for Polls yellow head but
part of valor, turned to run; the hen, with wings
widespread, followed close after.
AS she ran Poll screamed In her shrillest
tones, 20, Lordl o. Lord!''
A member Of the family who had witnessed
the performance, thought 1t time to interfere IN
Polls behalf, as the angry hen was gaining on
her. He ran out and, STOPPING dowo. held out
his hand. Poll lost no time In travelling up TO
bis shoulder. Then, from her high vantage
ground, she turned and, Looking do1u on her
foe, she screamed: "Hello, Sthsrel shoor'
TEe frightened hen returned to her nest as
rapidly as she had come.

Not in the Presidents Discretion.


Some Of the republican papers have been
trying TO make a little cheap political
capital for the administration by asserting
that IL those Of the Central and South
American countries which have failed TO
make reciprocal treaties with us do not at
once do so the President will reimpose
duties upon those OF the articles
we import from them which the
Mckinley tariff put upon the free list.
AS matter OF fact the President has moth
ing TO do with the matter. The Mckinley
tariff act provides that II, after a certain
specified time, the countries benefited by
the free Iist of the Mckinley act do not
enter into reciprocal agreements with US,
the duties shall be reimposed upon the
articles received from them.
Most Of the countries which send us sugar
all Of them will do 50 before the time In
which such treaties oan be made has ex-
pired None OF them can afford to be shut
out of our market. Some OF them have
been rather slow in making known their de-
sire TO take advantage Of the reciprocity
feature Of the Mckinley tariff, hut they
are ell acquainted with it Their Minis
ters in Washington have kept them fully
informed with regard bo it
AL the President has to do Is to enforce
the law. He is not clothed with authority
to say whether or not duties shall be reim-
posed in cases in which there has been neg
lect in making reciprocal treaties. 1t is
probable that within month or two we shall
have reciprocal treaties with all countries
which would be benefited by them. The
President has done nothing more than to
notify representatives of foreign govern
ments that the time within which they can
take advantage of she reciprocity provision
of the Mckinley act has very nearly ex-
pired.

Protection for See island cotton.

The MORNING News called attention
some time ago TO the movement inaugurated
by the James Island Is. c. cotton planters
to secure protection for the growers of sea
island cotton. The price of sea island cot
ton has declined greatly within the last
year or two, and one of the reasons Of the
decline is believed to be the large amount of
Egyptian and other long staple cotton that is
imported. Last year p, 900, 900 pounds were
imported. This cotton comes into competi-
ton with the sea island cotton and causes a
decline In the price OF it. Il Is not as valua-
BILE an article as the sea island cotton and
yet it answers very we'll to mix with IL In
the manufacture of certain kinds of lawns,
muslins, threads and balbriggan underwear.
II it were practically shut out, or the price
Of it greatly increased by an import duty,
the demand for sea island cotton would be
greater, and consequently the price Of it
would be better
No doubt the increase in the production
IN sea island cotton has something TO do
with the decline In the price of it, but it
does not account for 80 great a decline as
has taken place. The amount produced last
year was 6S. IS3 bags, while the crop the
previous year amounted TO only 46. sos bags.
Thirteen years ago the crop was only 81 $40
bags.
In this connection gentleman In this
city makes a suggestion. 1t is that a heavy
export duty be placed upon sea island cot
ton seed. The long staple cotton Of Egypt
and other foreign countries is grown from
this seed, which does not reproduce itself.
These countries get their supply of seed
from South Carolina, Georgia and Florida.
If their supply of seed was cut off they
would cease to be producers Of long staple
cotton.
There 10 no reason why the sea island cot
ton planters should not have the protection
for which they purpose to ask congress. The
Mckinley tariff protects every agricultural
product grown in tina north that can be pro-
tected, and the protective system compels
the sea island cotton planter TO pay almost
two prices for about everything he buys for
himself and family and his plantation. As
long as protection takes so much out of his
pocket it ought to put something into it, il
there is any way in which it can do go.

OF the storm came knock at the door ANDY
hepworth, keeper Of the All Souls saloon at
ThompSOn's bar. staggered in. His stagger was
caused by several things. One OF them was q
lot OF bis own whisky, which was under his
sack OF flour, which weighted his shoulders and
hands
"John. he said, you never spent a dollar
over my bar or any other bar at the camp, and
that shows your good sense. But the boys tell
me you're In hard luck, and know a man when

Concluded without Ceremony.

A good story is related of the Hon. B. Law
less, former member OF the Louisville bar,
aud who came to this city from Glasgow, KY,
says the Chicago Press He was ''ione-
wlnded" talker, and when he arose to make an
argument be didnD know when to stop. On
one occasion he was making q speech before
Judge Ballard In the United States court He
had spoken several hours, and the judge and
everybody else were thoroughly tired out
though they were helpless. At last Judge Bal
lard beckoned bis brother, Jack Ballard, to
him and impored him to stop Lawless If he
could.
"Oh, thaps easy enough replied the
brother. I'm stop him inside Of three
minutes"
There was q great deal OF curiosity TO see
how this could be accomplished, as the orator
seemed TO be nowhere near the end Of his
speech Jack Ballard took pencil and a sheet
of paper and wrote:
my DEAR COLONEL: AS soon as you finish
your magnificent argument would like you to
Join me In the clerks Office in bumper OF fine
old bourbon"
The note was handed to the orator, who paused
at the end of soaring period, drew bis glasses
from his pocket and read the note. He put it ia
his pocket and said;
And now II it please your honor and you,
gentlemen Of the Jury, leave the case with
you. ="
He picked up his hat and was In the clerk's
