Can "Adaptability" Do This ?

John Bull and His Beer.

There is one important social reform
that | want TO see imported from Eng
for the New York Sun. That is the gov
eminent guaranteed glassful OF beer.
When you order a glass of beer in Eng
lana you get a glass or beer, tull up 10 the
brin-an imperial half pint of ale-with
just sparkling string Of peady foam
around the rim, like pearls in an amber
setting. The law directs the vendor of
beer, either in a swell cafe or a poor man $
pub, TO give full measure, and the price
Of half pint glass of ale is a fixed GUAM
tty' ACCORDING 70 the quality served II
you should ask for half-plnt of Bass, or
hat-and-half, or any other kind Of drink
and should get a half-pint glass contain
ing four fingers of beer and two-lnch
high collar of froth, you can demand that
the glass be filled with good drink clear
to the brim, and the British government
&c oh, / say, miss / heard an English
man say TO the barmaid at the refresh
meut counter of a railway station, as he
gently pushed back to her glass of ale
which lacked about three-quarter5 Of an
inch of being fun; I say, could you please
put two penn orth of gin in this?"
Certainly, sir, said the barmaid,
reaching for the glass.
Well, L wish you'd fill it up with beer,
then, you know, said the bright young
man. And he got his full measure.
The Englishman, by the way, is very
particular about his beer, and ii IS treat
ranking next the drink itself to watch the
care with which the barman or barmaid
handles a bottle of Bass and the scientific
unlSh With which the precious liquor Is
poured into the glass. Ice is never per
mitted near beer. The bottles are kept,
neck up, in cool cellar, and brought up in
small quantities as wanted. the bar
tender lifts the bottle very carefully, TAX
ing pains to keep it perfectly level as he
draws the cork. Then he brings the glass
up to the bottle and both up to the light
and pOurs out the beer as slowly and care
fully as the professor in chemistry would
pour out the precious drugs into meas
uring glass. The last two or three spoon
fuls of beer are never poured out of the
bottle, and before setting the glass of beer
before the customer the bartender holds
it up to the light and sees that it fines up
properly. Then the man who is to drink
il holds ii up to the light, too. If the
/ bartender is too hasty in his motions to
suit his customer he is apt to be called
down.
VIII you please give me a spoon,
miss| l heard a man who looked like a
/ connoisseur of Bass say TO a barmaid in
/ Burton-on-Trent The young woman
/ looked at the man and then at the beer,
/ and then, without a word, reached for the
/ glass of ale she had just set before him,
/ emptied it behind the bar, drew another
/ glassful, held 1t up to the light to see that
/ it fined up properly, and set it down be-
/ fore the particular man. The first glass
! looked a tTifle cloudy, because it had been
/ drawn too rapidly; that was all.
/ Talking of beer reminds me that the
/ free lunch is becoming quite an institu-
/ ton in English public houses where it

The Montgomery Cotton Convention
Tomorrow convention of cotton grow
ers will be held at Montgomery, Ala, for
the purpose Of discussing the cotton sit
uation and devising. If possible. some
means OF improving it, The promoters
OF the meeting believe that If they can
strike upon some plan that will stop the
rush Of the staple to market, and
show conclusively that the output has
been overestimated, the price viii be i'm
proved. At the recent meeting in Macon
Of the Georgia Agricultural Society the
situation and the possible remedies were
discussed. and it was concluded that it
was high time the planters had stopped
playing into the hands of the bears
with big crop estimates and heavy and
rapid shipments, and delegates were elect
ed to the Montgomery meeting who will
urge this view upon the assembly.
1t is not likely, however, that this view
will need much urging. The planters who
keep abreast of the times are already
pretty well satisfied as to the causes of
the low price of cotton. They know that
the estimated supply is greater than the
demand, and that the only way to get
the market up is to show conclusively to
the consumers that the supply is not
nearly so large as has been calculated, or
else to curtail the rush to market by
holding the cotton. One of these two
things is absolutely necessary to the i'm
provement of the market.
II depends upon the farmers to do what
ever is to be done. There are no specu-
lators in the market these days to come
between the producer and the consumer
and force prices up. The farmers must
do the forcing themselves, or the consum-
ers-that is to say, the spinners and manu-
facturers-will continue to rule the mar
llet. The situation is concisely stated in
the Morning News cotton letter from
New York, published a day or two ago
as follows: Whether prices are to ad-
vance or decline further will depend upon
the action of the southern farmers. II
they decide to hold a good part of what
remains of the crop we shall see an ad
vance. But if the deluge Of cotton from
the plantation continues we shall not be
surprised to see prices go lower"
The Montgomery meeting viii have 6
/ great problem to discuss; not whether
| the cotton should be held, but how tC
hold it. 1t is to be hoped that "A solution
/ of that question will be found

mean that populisuc ideas are growing in

The populists made political principles a

The Department of State at Washing

phosphates may be the outcome Of the
discoveries. French explorers in Tunisia
have noted the existence of large phos-

country; and it seems similar discoveries
have been made in Eastern Algeria. Near
Tebessa occur deposits extending over an
area of several hundred square miles,
and said to be almost inexhaustble. The
fertilizer, composed mostly of bones and

The political partisanship OF the two
leading commercial agencies is made
apparent in their first weekly reports
after the election. For two years the
dark side of the picture has been persist
emily turned TO the business world by
these agencies, Notwithstanding there
have been great industrial reyivals during
the last few months. By deity cooring
the reports they have made it appear that
the party in power was responsible for all
the trouble, and that business persistent
~ refused to improve. Now however,
they are about TO turn the bright side
of the picture into view and give credit
where it does not belong. Their efforts
TO re-establish confidence are laudable,
of course. But why did they not make
those efforts before? No part of the gov
ernments policy that can affect trade
will be changed for at least two years,
and no great part Of it is likely to be
changed even then.

Mr. r. II. Edmonds Of Baltimore contri-
butes to the London Times a letter two
columns in length on the progress of the
south in the last ten years. The letter was
written for the purpose Of giving informa-
ton to prospective investors of England
and to remove erroneous impressions from
their minds The figures he presents are
striking. Ten years ago the cotton seed
was a waste product; now nearly 800 cotton
seed oil mills represent an investment of
about $40,0OOOo0. In 1880 the south mined
100000 tons of coal; in 1898 the output was
nearly 2S,0O0OOO tons. Ten years ago the
agricultural, manufacturing and mining
products were in value about 81, 200, 100000 i
year; they are now nearly 50, OoO,0 100000, and
are annually increasing. The increase in
the population of the south has been but
slight. and the same people have increased
their power of production in ten years by
nearly sS0OOO0,OOo. The railroad mileage
has been more than doubled, and the traffic
has been quadrupled; the iron and coal
production, and the cotton mills, have
added nearly S2,OOO,OO 600 to the assessed
value of its property, and more than
doubled its banking capital
