A Plan to Kill the Sundry Civil ApprO.

Washington, Feb. 2O.-The Star
says: There has been formed a
combination in the House to fight
the sundry civil bill, which threat.
ems the defeat of that measure and
the necessity Of an extra session
of Congress. The opposition is in
the act of the Sherman amend
ment providing for three per cent
bonds. 1t is regarded "a almost
certain that If the amendment is
non.concurred in and the amend
ment sent to Congress, the bill will
be restored to conference. There
fore, the Alliance members and
number of ultra silver men have
decided to filibuster against the
bill to keep 1t from conference, un-
less an agreement that under no
circumstances will the House con-
ferees accept the amendment. 1t
is the purpose of those who are
in the fight to kill the Sherman
amendment, to filibuster until the
4th of March, and not let the sun.
dry civil bill pass at all.

The Wyoming Legislature con-
tinued its deadlock up to the very
last and adjourned sine die with
out electing a United States Sena-
tor. This will throw the appoint.
ment of a Senator into the hands
of the Governor Ofthat State.
The Governor Of Wyoming is q
Democrat.
The next Senator from that
State therefore, will be q Demo-
Graf, aud this secures the orgsni-
zation of the Senate to the Demo
Gratis. The latter have gained
senatorships in California, New
York, Wisconsin, Wyoming and
Kansas, and this gives them A
votes in the Senate, which, with
the vote of Vice. President Steven.
son, constitutes a majority. The
Populists have four Senators, and
may secure more, but even if they
should unite with the Republicans,
which is not probable, they can
not prevent the Democrats from
organizing the Senate.
The winning of the Senate by
the Democracy is the best test OF
the strength ofthe recent political
revolution. Although there Was
good reason to believe that Mr..
Cleveland would be elected and
that the House would remain Dem
ocratic, we do not believe that
even the most sanguine Democrat
expected to see his party obtain
possession of the Senate. In the
Fifty-second Congress there are
AZ Republican Senators, 2 Popu
lists and 80 Democrats, and in
1898 the terms of only 80 Senators
expire. Of this number 10 are
Republicans and II are Democrats.
If any Democrat had said that of
this number the Republicans would
secure not more than IL, while the
Democrats would obtain 16 and
the Populists 2, he would have
been laughed to scorn, yet that is
what happened. Although only
about one.third of the Senatorial
seats were to be voted upon, the
Democrats won enough of those
to give them control of the Senate,
and the Republicans are now in a
majority of eight, with several
Western States still to hear from.

The farmer members Of the Tex
O. Legislature have Joined in q
circular to the cotton growers of
the State urging them TO restrict
the acreage planted to cotton this
year and to put in larger proper.
ton Of other crops. A convention
Of c0ttOn-grOwers to promote the
same object has also been called
to meet in Austin in March.
There 10 no doubt but that un-
der existing conditions the policy
Of restricting the output Of raw
cotton is q wise one. The McKin.
ley tariff on cotton goods cripples
the South's European customers,
who take two.thirds of the crop,
y lille at the same time it enables
the New England cotton manufac-
turers to combine and keep up the
prices OF the maufac tured product.
The tariff impairs the ability OF
European manufacturers to pay
good prices for raw cotton, while
the American tariff trust, by arbi-
trarily forcing up the prices OF
cotton goods, restricts the demand.
So long as the cOttosgrowers
are thus ground between the up
per and the neither millstones OF
McKinley's tariff it is simply bust.
ness prudence for them to plant as
much as possible of other crops,
and to aci together, so far as they
can, to prevent q repetition Of the
great crops Of 1890 and 1891. The
experience of those years proves
that a 1900, 900 bale crop is hardly
marketed at the cost Of production.
With the tariff on cotton goods
reduced to q hard-pan revenue
bssia or abolished altogether the
production of cotton may be safely
| left to regulate itself. AS long al
there 10 an element protection In
the tariff on cotton goods it will
be necessary for the cott0n-grow
ers to combine against the tariff
barons.-Republic.

SWEAR THEY'LL TAKE THE STRIP.
The "BO0mersn Are Determined to
Adopt Measures.

Kansas City, Kas., Feb. GOTH
Cherokee Strip matters have TAX
en- q new and sensational turn
since the publication of the fact
that Congress is not likely to ratify
the treaty in time for homestead
ers to put in crops this spring, and
the advice is given to them to
rent farms in Kansas and Okla
homa out Of which to make a living
during the coming year. This ut
ter disregard of Congress for the
necessities Of the people has
caused great indignation here, and
q permanent organization bias been
perfected with the avowed inten'
ton to 60 upon and occupy the
lands of the strip Immediately
without awaiting the action Of
Congress.
A general mass meeting of all
"b0omers" has been called to meet
at Cole, just over the line south
of this place, on next Wednesday
at IL o'clock to set the day for
the invasion and to perfect a sys.
tematic plan of procedure. The
thousands Of "boomers" waiting
here are very much aroused over
the dilatOry tactics of Congress,
and they have fully determined to
60 upon the lands in utter disre-
gard Of the consequences.
Very few people have any con-
ception of the condition of the
people who are waiting to find
homes on the strip or of the suffer
ing that will ensue If the lands are
not opened this spring in time to
make crops. The people are des-
perate, and at the meeting next
Wednesday they will certainly de-
eide to 60 upon the strip, put in
crops and await the consequences.

Bills Like That in the Assembly Les
sen the Chances Of Repeal of the 10
Per Cent. Tax.
From the New York Evening Post 0nd).
a committee of the legislature of Geor-
eia has taken up the question Of state
bank notes. and has commenced work on
A bill in anticipation of the repeal of the
10 per cent. tax. Like most of the state
legislatures which have turned their at
tention to this subject, this one, or this
committee, begins by tying up the banks
money in securities Of one kind or another
this by way of making money abundant
in the neigh bOrhOOd. The bill proposes
that one-half Of the capital of each bank
shall be kept on hand in coin or legal ten
ders as a redemption fund, and that the
other half shall be invested in bonds of
the United States or of the state of
Georgia, or Of counties or municipalities
in the state, which shall be deposited
with the state treasurer as security for
the circulating notes. Then the state
treasurer may issue to the bank So of cir
culating notes for every dollar of the coin
or legal tenders which the bank has on
deposit with itself. The security which
the state would hold for the circulating
notes supposing all the bonds to be good,
would be 50 per cent. of the same, instead
of being 40 per cent, as ii is under the
national banking system, since the cash
redemption fund is to be under the con-
troll OF the bank. But if this redemption
fund were religiously Kept by the bank
for It's special purpose, and If the deposit
/ bonds We're always worth par, the
security would be only at the rate
of 81 900 for each 81, 800 of circulat-
ing notes, the banks capital
being wholly impounded and locked up at
the start. The national system furnishes
security for circulating notes, but it is
wanting in elasticity. The proposed
Georgia system would furnish neither Sc
curity nor elasticity. II is very strange
that the south, which for the most part
had good banks before the war, cannot
take a leaf out of its own experience, but
must needs copy an inferior system,
diluting even that. There is not much
danger of harm, however, to come from
these attempts, since they all depend
upon a repeal of the 10 per cent. tax.
The chances of repeal are lessened by
every state bank act like that of North
Carolina, and like that which Georgia is

well-Bred Japanese Children.


The japanese, Of all classes, hold an ill
bred child in great contempt; but the
upper classes considered the mastering of
their country's unpliant collection of
motley codes Of etiquette Indispensable.
There is in Japan a fear, a horror, OF a
mothers natural impulse to make the
path Of childhood as easy as possible for
her wee ones And for this reason the
sons of many noble families are brought
up in separate establishments, where
they and their manners are warily, CON
tinuously, harassingly observed and cor
rected at every turn by some trusted male
friend of the parents himself of noble
birth. These rigidly reared little princes
and lords have also an entirely separate
band of retainers, who are expected to
seem TO exist only to do their little
masters slightest bidding. I noted the
manner of this when l went up to Nikko
on the first train of cars that ever
pierced, with seeming sacrilege, it's dear
green, religious old heart. The alarming
dissertation, occurring upon a popular
feast day, brought out an immense con
course of people of note. Among them
was little son of the emperor who, in a
gorgeous crepe gown, was followed
through the excited throng of on-lookers
by a long line of his own private retain
ers Six of these retainers-the best
built and fleetest of foot, with the little
fellow hoisted high on their shoulders in
a brilliant gold lacquer palanquin-ran or

given in a shrill, childish treble, or in re-
