Good Advice.

The following little paragraph from
the Cotton Plant contains much good ad-
vice:
''In setting your crops for this year
be sure to lay off enough of Your best
land to make all the provisions needed
for home supplies. When you think you
have enough throw in about half as much
more for good measure and then you can
plant as much land in cotton as you can
work well and fertalize abundantly. You
will find that this is sensible advice, if
you will try it,

The writer does not believe that another
appropriation from the state of Massa-

Inview of the representations made in
favor of the cottage system it would
seem to be wise for the committee before
deciding what kind of structure to
build to make a thorough investigation
of the relative merits of that system and
of the one now in use in Maine. The
cottage system would require less ex-
penditure at one time than the present
system, and if it is better adapted to the
care of the insane then two strong and
conclusive reasons exist for its adoption.

State Treasurer Beaps suggestion
that the school mill fund be distributed
among the towns, not according to the
numb of children of school age, but
according to the number of children
who attend schools seems to be a good
one. The mill fund is designed to aid
the small towns to educate their chill
dren. If the children in them do not go
to school, of course the purpose Of the
fund is defeated entirely. If only a por
ton of them go to school 1t is partly de-
feated. By the present plan of distribu-
ton a town which has one hundred
scholars, only fifty of whom go to school
is getting twice as much as town which
has fifty scholars, all of whom go to
school. That is in one town the State is
spending two dollars on the education Of
child, while in the other it is spending
but one. The intention of the legislature
which established the fund was that all
children should receive equal benefits
from it. This is not the case under the
present plan of distribution, and there
fore it should be changed in accordance
with Treasurer Beal's suggestion.

TUESDAY, JANUARY "a.

Speaker Crisp announces that he will
not allow any bill that the House wishes
to pass to be defeated by filibustering.
If such an attempt is made he will call
together the committee on rules and
make rule to fit the case. When Mr..
Reed undertook to defeat flibustering
he was denounced as tyrannical, but the
experience Of session in the Speakers
chair has apparently convinced Mr..
Crisp that either the filibusterer must
be suppressed or the House abdicate its
power to legislate. Grisp's method of
suppressing filibustering is far more ar
bitrary than was Mr.. Reeds, The latter
left it to the majority to make rules to
fit the case. The former leaves it to the
committee on rules, made up Of very
few members Mr.. Reed ruled through a
majority Of the House. Mr.. Crisp rules
through committee constituting but a
small minority of that body.

7 e decision of Judge Nelson, of the
United States court at Duluth that the
Chinese exclusion act passed last sum-
mer is unconstitutional, has yet to be re-
viewed by the Supreme court, but If it
be sustained that act which was passed
largely to crafty the jewellers on the
Pacific coast will go for naught. Judge
Nelson's decision is based upon the fact
that the act denies trial by jury. The
legislation in question has encountered
strong opposition, especially from the
religious bodies of the country, who
have condemned it partly because they
believed it unjust, and partly because
they believed one effect of it would be to
seriously retard missionary work in the
Chinese empire. But the adaptation of
the act to the accomplishment of its pur-
pose, has been shown to be questionable
since the authorities began prepare
tions to enforce it, as well as its charac-
ter; SO that even if it's constitutionality
be sustained it is doubtful if it will ever
accomplish what its authors intended.
