Chicago now has two foreign holidays, st.
Patriok's day and the anniversary OF the
birth of the Emperor William. City ooun-
Gil, at a recent meeting, passed ordinances
to that effect. In his message to the exeou-
tive departments, directing the observance
Of the emperor's birthday. Mayor Wash
burne makes good point against the uu-
American custom Of observing foreign hol-
idays, as follows: "If the catalogue of dead
and living saints and heroes be not sufficient
to exhaust the secular days of the year
would suggest that the council, as a change,
appropriate the few remaining days by
closing the city hall, in order that we may
commemorate the birth Of some American
hero"

ceorre,g Adviee 70 Planters.

The letter of Senator George. Of Missis-
sippi, to cotton planters points out SO clearly
why q large cotton crop This year would be
disastrous to the cotton planting interests
that cotton planters would be guilty of the
greatest folly II they should ignore it.
Senator George is chairman Of the COM
mittee Of the United States Senate on agri-
culture and was charged with the duty OF
| Investigating the causes of the low prices OF
! cotton aud OF suggesting remedy.
! The chief reason the price Of cotton was
! so low during the early part Of last year
was shat the supply exceeded the demand,
and the reason the price has improved is
the small crop OF 1929. From this it Is
apparent that the farmers have it in their
power to regulate the price of cotton. II
they produce more than tho world wants
they will have to sell it for less than the
cost Of production. and they will find them
selves burdened with debt If they pro-
duce no more than the world wants they
will te able 10 market their cotton at
profit, and the result will be that they will
be out Of debt with money to their credit.
This is so evident that no farmer is is dan
ger of misunderstanding it.
But the farmers are under the impression
that because last years crop was short
one, more cotton than usual will be needed
this year. and, therefore, they can plant
large acreage with almost a certainty of
getting good price for cotton. however
large the crop may be. Senator George
shows they are mistaken.
A large surplus was carried over from the
year before last TO last year, and owing to
the strikes in the English mills the oonsump-
ton of cotton for the last six months has
not been nearly as great as 1t would have
been had the spinners taken the usual
amount. There is, therefore, a large stock
of cotton on hand in foreign
markets. 1t is large enough to sup
ply the mills for some time, and IL a
large acreage is planted this year the SPIN
ners will not buy freely, but win adopt the
hand to mouth policy, knowing that if
large crop is produced this year they will
be able to supply their wants at a much
lower price than that at which they can
purchase cotton now.
If the farmers are wise, therefore. they
will not plant largely OF cotton, but will
give their attention to a much greater extent
than ever before to food crops aud TO stock
Senator George says that the farmers
will be disappointed if they plant largely
Of cotton with the expectation of getting a
high price for their crop. The results of
his investigation show that the continued
prosperity Of the south depend almost
wholly upon keeping the supply of cotton
within the demand for it.

Troublesome Geologist..

We don't know whether Geologi7t Spen-
Ger aud his assistants are qualified for the
positions they have beel occupying or not,
but we do know. and the whole state knows,
they have given the governor and the state
board Of geology a good deal OF trolble.
The chief geologist couldn't get along with
his assistants, or his assistants couldn't get
along with him, and 80 the state board
finally adopted resolution caIling for the
designations Of all Of them. The board
thought that was the easiest way to settle
the difficulty, and doubtless it was. The
only wonder is that the board did not adopt
that course long ago, for, If all the accounts
Of the affairs Of the geological survey are
correct, the geolcgists have not rendered
the state a great deal Of valuable service
for long time, though it Is probable they
have drawn their salaries with commenda-
bic regularity.
The assistant geologists have complied
with the request for designations, but the
chief geologist declines to resign. In let
ter addressed to the secretary Of the state
board Of geology, he says that he sent his
resignation to the governor three months
ago. Why it wasn't promptly accepted
doesn't appear from the correspondence. 1t
was withdrawn, and the chief geologist now
declines to resign because he doesn't recog-
nize the right Of the board to demand bis
resignation, though he admits the governor
has the right to remove him for in
competency, inefflciency or misconduct
As the demand for his resignation isn't
based upon any one Of these things, be pur-
poses to hold on to his place and see what
the result will be. So far the result has
been nothing more than locking tie doors
of the headquarters Of the geological sur
vey, thus leaving the chief geologist with
out an abiding place that is under she au-
thority Of the state.
Further steps In this interesting but
rather old war between state officials will
be awaited with the feeling that there
is more richness in il than has yet cropped
out The chief geologist is clearly a man Of
determination and will not be easily thrust
aside. II he is incompetent he wants a com.
mittee of scientists to say so. Whether or
not his desire in that respect will be com
piled with is one of those matters about
which valuable opinion cannot be ex-
pressed In advance.
There is pretty strong impression that
the state hasn't yet got very much for the
money she has spent for geological survey,
and without q reorganization Of the
geological bureau it is not probable
that Georgians will be much richer in
knowledge as to the geology of their state
There has been something radically wrong
With the geological survey business for a
good while and it is rather gratifying that
the governor has finally determined to
find out just what the trouble is and adopt
a remedy for it as soon as possible.

Few Immigrants Expected This Year.
From the Waahinoton Star (Ind1.

Experts on immigration are OF the opinion
that comparatively Iew foreigners will come TO
this country to settle during the present year, a
conclusion which must be rather surprising 10
those who imagined that the reopening of the
gates would result in q tremendous thrush OF
those who by reason of the presidential procla-
nation have been kept out. There are several
good reasons why immigrativo slackness will
probably prevail during 1895. Steerage rates
have been materially increased. the big steam
ship companies realizing that their profits dur
ing the worlds fair period would come from
the cabin passengers and that those profits
would be completely swallowed up should cpl

ment IS wideawake just now and that further
imposition would not be tolerated.
