 Fast and Exercise. Melba takes abundant walking exercise, reIying on its hcalthfulness as much as with n firm determination not to permit herself to grow stout. She dctests stout ness. In eating she does not restrict her self, except on the day she sings, when a light dinner at 2-mcat, few vegetables and n glass of winc-is the last thing she takes before going to the thcatcr. On this day also she runs n few scales, full voice, in the morning, and just before she goes on tries her voice n few minutes just sufii- ciently to warm 1t. Beaten egg and sherry she thinks excellent for lubricating the throat.
 Nothing would induce her to 20 out the night before she sings, and she talks little as possible on tho day itself. On her re- turn from the thcatcr she has always n substantial supper, which, after her fast and exertion, she declares harmless.

The Brisbane Case,

We expect from Recorder Wilson a very
thorough investigation of the case of
Pleasant Brisbane, one of the chain gang
convicts, who says that he was cruelty
whipped at one of the chain-gang camps.
The recorder is fearless in the discharge
of his duty in such matters, and there
is no reason to doubt that he will get at
the truth in the Brisbane case.
All that is wanted is the truth. If the
story Brisbane tells is true then it is time
that the chain-gang regulations We're
given thorough overhauling and such
reforms made in them as to prevent other
outrages OF a like character. If the story
is not true the public ought to know it
so that there may be a certainty that
nothing is occurring in the chain-gang
camps that is cruel and inhuman.
Several similar outrages have been re-
ported, but the evidence in support of them
was not satisfactory.
1t may be that the trouble is that the
convict guards think all black men are
strong and capable of doing laborers
work in the drainage canals and on other
public works, and whip them when they
fail. AS a matter of fact, many of the
men sent to the chain-gang are physically
unable to do heavy work. A barber, for
instance, or a bar-keeper, or a house ser
want or sany one accustomed to do light
work, is no more able to do the heavy
work of a laborer in the chain-gang than
is a white man who has not been used
to doing a laborer's work IT is, there
fore, the refinement of cruelty to try to
force him to do it, and it is barbarous to
whip him for not being able to do it.

Another Gard.

The card writer's of the Citizens Club
are doing their best to give the public a
bad impression OF that organization. AS it
doesn't meet with open doors-thc public
is not supposed to be acquainted with its
morality or its members.
Wednesday, in card Maj. Schwarz
said that he had entered the club with in
tentons Of purifying city and county pu-
litical affairs" In the course of his re-
marks he made the following declarations;
1.-THE very methods which we have so
strongly condemned we find here within

Yesterday Mr.. Thomas J. sheftall, an

the Citizens club could not stand them
that Schwarz could not be nominated. that
Myers could beat Schwarz out Of his

According to Maj. Schwarz, there are
two elements i'm the club-the purifying
element. and the anti-purifyng element.
and according to Mr.. Shcftal there are
two elements-a respectable element and
an element that the respectable people
could not stand. And Mr.. Sheftau says

NC chieaeo strike Report.

The report Of the commission appointed
by the President to investigate the great
railway strike, which occurred at Chicago
last July, is being very generally con-
demned. except by the labor unions. It
is a most remarkable report in some re-
spects, and is likely to do harm, rather
than good.
The commission does not appear to have
made a very thorough investigation of
the causes of the strike, and the concIu-
sions it reaches are not likely to be gen
orally accepted. While it is true that
lawless acts are condemned, and the rail-
way union is told that if it does not
adopt measures for Furnishing those of its
members who are guilty of
such acts it viii loose the
sympathy of the public. the bulk of the
blame for the riotous occurrences is placed
upon the managers of the railroads that
were involved in the strike These man
ayers had formed an organization known
as the General Managers Association, and
the commission, in its report, says that
the association should have yielded to
the request of the strikers of the railway
union for arbitration, and because it did
not grant that request the blame for much
of the rioting is placed upon it.
The fact that if the General Managers
Association had yielded a single point
while the strike was in progress the rail-
way union would have won a complete
victory, and had the railroads completely
in its power, seems to be entirely ig-
nored by the commission.
The conclusion which the commission
reaches, namely, that the remedy for
interstate railroad strikes is a commission
to arbitrate differences that may arise be-
tween the railroads and their employees,
will hardly commend itself to the common
sense OF the people. There would be
little objection probably to a commission
that was authorized to deal with all par
ties alike, but that is not the kind of a
commission suggested in the report. 1t is
proposed that the decisions of the commits
sion shall be enforced by the courts when
they are against the railroads, but they are
not to be enforced at all when against
the employees of the railroads. In other
words, the decisions of the commission are
to be binding upon one party to a con-
troversy, and not upon the other.
1t is apparent that no good result would
follow from that sort of compulsory ar
bitration. The common sense of the coun-
try would not uphold commission whose
decisions would have to be obeyed by
the railroads, and not by its employees.
ever would come from the investigation
made by the Presidents strike commits
sion. On the contrary. it's report is likely
to have an unsettling effect. 1t had an
opportunity to render the country a real
service but appears to have been unequal
to the work that was required of it.

why the Price of Cotton Is Low.

The demagogues who have tried to
mislead the people as TO the
cause Of the low price of cot
ton have not deceived the cotton
planters. The resolutions they adopted
at the Cotton Planters Convention at
Montgomery. Ala, on Wednesday. show
that they understand clearly the cause
of the low price of cotton. One Of the
resolutions calls for the reduction of
the cotton acreage, and others advise that
announcement be given to manufactur-
ing and to immigration, and that far
mers turn their attention to stock rails
ing and the production of grain crops.
Farmers are also advised to hold back
their cotton for better prices whenever
they are in position to do so.
These resolutions are all good ones.
and would be productive of good re-
suits if they should be carried into effect.
At the same time, the fact should not
be ignored that as long as cotton can
be grown at a profit, however small that
profit may be, there is not likely to be
any reduction of the cotton crop, unless
the farmers see their way clear to the
raising of crops that would pay them bet
ter than cotton does. If it can be dem
onstrated that the raising of stock or
cereals is more profitable than the rails
ing of cotton southern farmers will at
once give their attention to those things.
The farming interests will take the di-
rection in which the greatest profit lies.
The farmers have not abandoned cotton
because it has yielded them a much bet
ter return than any other crop. It may
be that there are crops that would pay
better than cotton at cents pound.
If there are, the farmers viii not be
long in finding out what those crops are.
Resolutions, however, do no harm, and
may do a vast amount of good. They are
apt to make those to whom they are di-
rected think, and those who think gen.
orally find a way out of their difficulties.

The ItaIian Queen,s Cigarette.

Queen Margaret of Italy had an I'M
pleasant experience in Lermatt a few
weeks ago says an exchange Her ma
jesty, the Princess Nillamarina, and the
Countess Beglojora had taken a short
tour in the neighbOring mountains. The
pleasure of the women, however was de-
stroyed by the presence of a number of
tourists, who followed their every motion
and prosecuted them with their impudent
curiosity. Four or five English women
were especially impolite and intrusive
When the queen sat down on rustic
bench on a small plateau to rest, after
a particularly fatguing climb, these
daughters of Albion, who had been close
at her heels for an hour, virtually sur
rounded her, and stared her out of coun-
tenance. The good-natured queen, how
ever smiled and determined to shock the
English tourists. She drew her cigarette
box from her pocket took d cigarette
and lighted it. The sightseers were visibly
Mortified and cost repToachful glances at
each other
But the queen did more Walking to-
ward the women she offered each of them
a cigarette, which had to be accepted as
also the light which Princess Nillamarina
struck for them. This had the desired
effect. one after the other the hated
tourists, overcome partly by the smoke
left the plateau, and the queen and her
companions were able to continue the
tramp u0mOlPstCd.
