A Victory for tho IIaIlroads.

Judge Simonton, of the United States
Court, filed his decision last Saturday, the
Goth inst, in the railroad tax cases. The
decree reads rs follows:
'That the complainant, the Richmond &

naming solvent, it shall be received and
accepted as the day Of the original tender

The Next Crop.

Regarding the next crop, VIC have very
little ncws.of importance, but what little we
do hear is very contradictory, the reports
Of reduced acreage not being by any means
as unanimous as wc.would like to see them.
The cotton world is waiting for reliable
news Oil this point, and if it can be fully
established that the reduction will be of
sufficient importance, we shall see better
prices. If not, the only resource of the
producers through the summer will be to
pray for bad weather Qor their neighbors).
A crop of over eight millions will mean
cents next year, or possibly less.

Tho aoffln1 nKule.


"Out in Kansas" said Uncle Jerry, the
other day, 'there is boy who taught his
mule to squat when he touched him on the
flank with his heels, and one day when he
was riding beside an Englishman the mule
suddenly sat down on his launches "
What's the matter with your mulep' said
the Englishman. why said the boy, 'he
is setter, don't you see that rabbit out
thcrcT The Englishman was much aston
iShcd.
"They rode on and the mule suuattcd
again. What's he doing now2' SAID the
Englshman. Hes scttin' again. said the
boy. Don't you see that flock Of quail?'
BY this time the Englishman was dying to
own the mule. An animal that he could
ride, that Was also setter, would be price
less to such Nimrod as hc. He offered
to buy the mule but the boy did not want
to sell him. Finally he consented TO swap
the mule for the Englishman's fine bay
horse and 800 to boot. The Englishman
mounted the mule and they rode OH to-
gether. After awhile they came to a creek
and the Englishman drew up his feet to
keep them from getting wet. About half
way through, the water got 80 deep that
he had to draw his feet up to the mules
flank. AS soon as the boot heels touched
the mules flank he squattcd right in the
middle of the creek. What's the matter
with your old mule now2 said the English
i told you he was setter, and he is just as
good for suckers as anything else"

the fact that he has sold his stock in q
Laurens Bank, because it was charging the
farmers one per cent discount for the use
Of money. Very few farmers will be in
fuenced by this style of political religion.
Banks arc as useful to farmers as to any
one else. But it is not recorded anywhere
that we know Of that Senator Irby has
made any sacrifice for the benefit of the
farmers. What length is there to which
ambition will not lead its victims2 We
reserve our judgement till the Senator gets
further opportunity. But our farmers must
not expect too much of Inn.

SPHINX DEPEW.
Won't Say Whether lie Is to Enter the
Cabinet.

WAsHINGTON, June 20.-Mr. Chauncey
NJ. Depew left for New York. If he dis
closed to his most intimate associates in
Washington the result Of his visit to the
president they have kept the secret as we'll
as Mr.. Depew He said his visit was
primarily to look after the Harlem river
bridge He certainly did not have any
formal business at the White House, for
the invitation to lunch with the president
was personally extended by Private Secre-
tary Halford. Whether he is to be secre-
tary of state any more than whether he is
to ill the supreme court vacancy is un-
known.
After Mr.. Depew returned to the hotel
from his visit to President Harrison he
was more reserved than during his con
yersatious earlier in the day. The ques-
tion was asked:
shall we be able to write secretary of
state after your name next week, Mr..
Depew:'
1T does not look very much that way
up to the pres ent moment" was the
prompt reply.
\ New Yorker who has known Mr.. De
pew for years said that neither his bear
ing, his manner nor his conversation in
dictated Il prospective breaking up Of old
relations; no man could he SO free
in his remarks as Mr. Dcpew had
been if he was on the point OF
leaving associates extending over a
quarter of century To TREND who
spoke as though Mr.. Depew hal already
accepted, the doctor good pumoredly said:
DO not be so free in the distribution of
public office. really think the president
ought to be allowed to seiec: his own cabi
lint hn !, ~ II
his country and other countries, and who
is full of the glory OF mis- party and the
patton, would make good secretary OF
