When "arove" Was Sheriff.

Col Edward L. James, the well-known law
yer, who has been before the public Of late with
Mr.. Choate in connection Nth the Grant &
Ward failure, has had career brimful of inter-
esting experiences, says the New York Tribune
Not the least enjoyable of these was the one IN
connection with Grover Cleveland and his
charming wife. This experience as told by the
colonefs friends. runs somewhat like this:
Some years ago he was counsel for the creditors
OF an insolvent firm in Buffalo He went out
there 20 levy on the stock. His first search, OF
course. was for the sheriff. He was Just start

colonel dh not appreciate at the time why,

ing little about Buffalo and less about the Off
Gal In question, the colonel never supposed that
aud as his business relations with him were
comparatively brief. he did not discover his
mistake. The sheriff performed his duty salts
tsctorily, receiving good fat fee. So did Col.
James. Two or three years atterward the colo
mel had a bill against the state. 1t was tackled
70 the regular appropriation bill and the repub-
llcan Senate committee was disposed TO throw
IL out, fearing that Grover Cleveland would
make some political capital by vetoing it.
Failing to convince the senators that this would
not be done, the colonel took the bull by the
horns and went to the executive chamber
There, TO his utter astonishment he met in the
person OF the governor, his old friend Grove Il

Immediately sat down and wrote a note in

and the colonel got his money. About this time

The Cotton Cron.

It is certain that tae next cotton crop VIII
not be nearly as large as the one OF the sea
son that is now draw ing TO close. Reports
from nearly all parts OF the cotton belt
show that there will be a very large re-
duction In the acreage planted in cotton,
and that there has been a great falling on
in the use Of commercial fertilizers. The
season also thus far has not been favorable
for planting These three things will OPP
crate to greatly reduce the production.
Tbs Republic OF st. Louis sent circu-
lars to all parts OF the cotton belt two
weeks ago with instructions TO interview IS
many cotton planters as could be seen
within a reasonable time relative to the
cotton acreage in comparison with the
acreage of last year. IL has already re-
ceived large number Of reports. They all
tell the same story, viz, that the planters
are planting much less cotton than last
year, and that they are not using so large
an amount Of commercial fertilizers In
great many localities from which reports
have been received the reduction in the
acreage is as much rs 40 per cent. From all
the reports fair statement of the average
reduction is 20 per cent.
The planters cannot raise cotton profitably
at present prices except upon the very best
land and even upon land Of that kind the
profit is small. The low price Of cotton
this year has done more than anything else
could TO convince farmers that the way to
prosperity is through diversified crops
There will be more corn, oats and hay Gull
tivated in the south this year that ever be-
fore. And when the planters begin
to produce their own food supplies they
will never go back to the plan Of raising
only cotton and buying their food supplies.
The south will be much better off for this
change. Now about all the profit from the
cotton crop goes to the west for hay, grain
and bacon. A planter who has good crop
of cotton and gets a fair price for it has
very little left after he has paid for the sup
plies which are necessary to raise a cotton
crop. This year marks the beginning of
new condition of things in the south.

Mr.. Blaine's Foolish Friends.

Either Mr.. Blaine has great many fool
ish friends Or he does not know his own
mind. Before he wrote his letter to Chair
man Clarkson, In which he said my name
will not go before the republican national
convention for the nomination" the news
papers were full of statements of his friends
TO the effect that he was q candidate for
the nomination, that he would be nomi-
mated and that he would accept a nomina-
ton whether it was unanimous or not.
The letter to Mr.. Clarkson put stop to all
this newspaper talk. and it was generally
accepted that Mr.. Blaine was altogether
out Of the presidential race.
But within the last few days the talk of
his party has been revived, although as far
as the public knows he has said nothing
to Justify 1t. One of his admirers, a
Brooklyn man named William II. Grace
who is the national president of the Home
and Country Protection Brotherhood of
Workingmen, has come forward in an open
letter in which he says Mr.. Blaine will
accept denomination of the Minneapolis
convention if it is offered to him, and be
says this, he declares. without fear of
authoritative contradiction.
Mr.. Grace must be one of Mr.. Blaine's
foolish friends or else he must have some
authority from Mr.. Blaine for his assertion.
1t is hardly probable that he has any
authority, because Mr.. Blaine could not
consistently tell him or any one else after
his letter to Mr.. Clarkson that he would
accept the nomination. The probability is
that Mr.. Blaine is still being poun ded by
MIR. Muldoon with the hope of an improve
ment in his health. but without any inten-
ton of being a candidate before the Mime
apollo convention. and that Mr.. Grace ia
one OF his foolish friends who is making use
of Mr.. Blaine to get little cheap notoriety
for himself.

Cheap Postage.

Petitions are being circulated throughout
the country asking the government 60 re-
duce letter postage to cent To thought
less persons it may appear a very good
thing to reduce the cost of sending letters
by one-half. But there is another side to the
question presenting objections to the scheme
which may outweigh the saving of 1-cent
per letter.
Under the 2-cent letter rate the postoffice
department is not self supporting. 1t is
estimated that the deficit for the current
year will be from s. 900, 900 to IS 900 900.
If the letter rate should be res
duced one-half it would cut down the
revenues Of the office $40, 900 900 or S12, OOO
900, which, added to the existing deficit +,
would make a sum. approximating $50, 000,-
900 to be provided for by appropriations
from the treasury. To recover this $12,~
100000 deficit In letter postage the number
of letters mailed would have to be twice as
great as 1t is, and il would be years before
that would be the case. People who write
letters now under the 2-cent rate would not
write twice as many merely because they
could get them transmitted through the
mails for the same amount of money.
Further, such deficit in the income of
the postoffice department would put a stop
to all plans for improvement of the service
and the extension Of the free delivery
system to the smaller towns and rural dis
tricts. And among all the schemes for i'm
proved mail facilities, it seems that the
rural delivery should have a trial as soon
as there Is any public money to be spent on
the mails. People who live in cities have
their mail delivered at their doors, without
the trouble of going to the postoffice. If
this convenience could be extended to the
farmers it would save them a great deal of
time going to the postotiice several miles
away end quicken communication between
the country and the city. This extension
of service would be of more benefit to the
general public than reduction of letter
raths

II seems that the subs idized mail steam
ship line between Newport News, Va, and
Brazil is being run by its owners in the
interest of New York. Senator Vest sub
mitted to the Senate day before yesterday a
resolution passed by the merchants ex-
change of st. Louis, stating that the presi-
dent of the company had publicly an
nounced that the company's ships would not
hereafter deliver imported coffee at Newport
News on account of objections made by mer-
chants in the city of New York. If this is
true, the contract with the company should
at once be declared void. Substituting
steamships under any circumstances is a
questionable policy, but when subsidized
ships are operated in direct opposition TO
the interests of the port from which they
sail, it creates the impression that
somebody else than the government is
doing a little "subsidlzing," and it is time
for the government to quit.

Nothing Gould Hurry Her.

Building Up the Navy.

The naval appropriation bill was
passed by the House on Monday
substantially as it was reported by
the committee on naval affairs. The
amendment of Representative Holman,
striking out the clause providing for the
construction Of new cruiser, was debated
at considerable length, and was finally de-
teated by a lsrge majority, indicating
clearly purpose to continue building up
the navy until there 10 something like equal
ity between this country and other great
powers in the matter Of naval equipment.
In bis epxisty to keep the appropriations
within reasonable bounds Mr.. Holman Is
apt to forget that a too economical policy
may be very costly one in the long run.
In the nature of things this country cannot
avoid having differences with
other nations. Within the last
year it has had differences with three ma
tons that were of so grave a character that
the newspapers were filled with war talk.
Italy was very aggressive when her de-
mand for redress for the Italians killed
at New Orleans was refused, Chile was
rather insolent when a demand was made
upon her by this government for repara-
ton for the attack at Valparaiso on the
crew of the cruiser Baltimore, and Eng
land was extremely obstinate in the Boring
sea affair. II this country had been with
out any navy it is doubtful II the trouble
with Italy could have been settled SO salts
factorily to this government, or if war with
Chile could have been avoided unless the
terms of the Chilean government had been
- = 1.l.nh1 10 Abaf
England would have insisted that the
Canadians should have the right to take
seals in Boring sea pending the settlement
of the question OF their right to do so.
The argument advanced by Mr.. Holman
that this country could build a navy soon
enough to meet any emergency that might
arise is not sound. 1t has done that in the
past, it is true, but modern warships are
very different from the wooden vessels that
comprised the nevies of the world at the
beginning of the war of succession. 1t takes
a long time to construct steel cruiser or an
armored battleship. All of the great nations
and some of the second and third-class
ones now have powerful battleships. Any
one Of them could levy contributions upon
our principal seaport cities before we could
build ships to protect those cities, provided
we were wholly without such ships.
The policy of slowly building up the navy,
taking advantage of whatever improve
ments may be made in warships, is the cor
rect one. and the one the people will ap-
prove. There is no occasion for building
it up in haste, as if there was an urgent de-
mand for it, but there is wisdom in inoreas-
ing it by adding to it one or two, or even
three vessels of the first class every year.
In that way the navy will soon become
what it should be, and, that too, without
placing too heavy a burden upon the peo-
pie. The adoption of the policy proposed
by Mr.. Holman would be a great mistake.

1t has come out, after the dismissal Of
Executive Clerk Young by the Senate, that
the information reg arding the action of the
Senate on the Boring sea case, which he was
accused Of furnishing, was written on the
back of three envelopes by member of the
Senate, who sent it to a newspaper CORE
spondent. When Mr.. Young was accused
of breach Of trust and refused hearing by
the Senate this correspondent proffered him
the envelopes with which to prove his inno~
cence. but he declined to take them, saying
that while he was anxious to defend his own
honor he could not asperse the honor or in
tegrity of any senator. The senator who
could sit and see an honorable mans char
acter smirched, as Mr. Young'G was. while
possessing the knowledge that would ex-
onerate him, is hardly worthy TO sit longer
in the Senate.
