overreached by the Importers.

It seems that the New York rice i'm
' porters were altogether too smart for the
Louisiana, Georgia and South Carolina
senators. The rice planting constituents
of those senators expected them to have
the duty on unclean rice, as fixed by the
ways and means committee and accepted
by the House, retained in the tariff bill,
and those senators undertook to do so.
Their attention was frequently called 70
the fact that the New York rice import
. ers were seeking to have the duty on IN
clean rice lowered after the tariff bill
reached the Senate. They declared they
would see to the matter The finance
committee Of the Senate did reduce the
duty on unelean rice, and when the sen
ators from the rice producing states pro-
tested the committee said the rice sched-
ule would be restored to what it was
when the tariff bill left the House.
The senator's, however, whose con
stituents are interested in rice must have
forgotten all about the matter, because
the bill, as finally passed, does not con
tain the rice schedule of the House, but
that fixed up-by the-Senate finance com
mittee at the request of the rice i'm
pOrters. The Georgia, Louisiana and
South Carolina senators do not seem to
have been very wide-awake.
However, the definition of unclean rice
as fixed by the House remains in the bill,
and that affords the rice growers some
protection against the fraud that has been
practiced heretofore, namely, importing
clean rice mixed with -four as unclean
rice. Under the new bill unclean rice is
that which has only the outer hull re-
moved; so that before it can become clean
rice it must undergo the whole process of
pounding. Under the Mckinley tariff
rice that required only brushing was i'm
ported as unclean rice, and therefore paid
only a small duty.

The Same Old Cry.

The blood and thunder talk Of Kolb
and his followers does not attract much
attention in Alabama. Nobody believes
that Kolb has any intention of setting up
a state government of his own and, out
side of the Kolbites, nobody believes that
great frauds were committed by the dem
ocrats in the recent election as charged
by Kolb and his friends.
Ex-Congressman Shelby of Alabama
was in Washington a day or two ago, and
in reply to questions as to the foundation
for Kolb's charges of fraud and Kolb's
announcement that he intends to have the
office of governor, said: ut is the same
old cry, and signifies nothing. Col. Oates
was elected governor on a fair and square
count. He beat Kolb in the white coun-
ties, despite the latter's claim to the con-
trary. Henceforth populism is a dead
issue in Alabama. 1t is buried too deep
for resurrection. The talk of the Kolb
men about seating their candidate in the
gubernatorial chair is too ridiculous for
serious consideration, and it will hardly
be attempted"
Some timid people who have been
somewhat alarmed by Kolb's bellicose
talk may dismiss their fears. Kolb was
defeated for governor twice before his de-
feat on Aug. 6, and after each defeat he
talked just about as he talking now. He
charged that he had been defeated by
fraud and that he meant to take possession
of the governors office. He did nothing
beyond talk, and he will do nothing but
talk now. He knows better than to at
tempt to set up government of his own
in Alabama. The authorities, backed by
the people, would make such an attempt
very unpleasant for him.
Ex-Congressman Shelby has stated the
situation correctly. Kolb is back num-
Der in Alabama, and populism there has
received its death blow. There is no need
to bother any more about Kolb or the
crowd that supports him.

The last meeting of the farmers
alliance IN this state has been
held, in all probability. The
meeting at Dublin, which began
Wednesday and ended Thursday, practi-
caIIy demonstrated that the organization
has very little more life in it. This fact
is not a cause for re joicing, but rather for
regret. The MORNING. NEWS, although il
was the paper upon which the alliance
! leaders heaped abuse because it pointed
( out that the farmers were being used by
a lot Of political demagogues 20 advance
/ their political fortunes, believes that the
alliance, If kept out of politics, could be
made Of much use to the farmers
A great many of the fair-minded al
liancemen are now admitting that if the
advice of the MORNING News had been
taken the alliance might have been made
a powerful organization for the good Of
the farmers. The MORNING News was
looked upon by the alliance as its worst
enemy, when. as a matter of fact, it was
its best friend. 1t had the courage to
tell it the truth. The truth was not
palatable, and hence was rejected.
IL would be interesting to know the
amount of money the alliance farmers
have spent to find out that they have
been the dupes of political dema-
gogues. 1t must be very large.
And what benefits have the farmers re-
ceived} Can they name one2
And there are demagogues who are
still trying to use the remnants of the
organization. II is to be hoped that the
farmers are too wise from experience to
permit them to succeed. They should be
given the cold shoulder at once.
The place for the farmers is not in the
populist party. 1t is in the Democratic
party. The Democratic party has always
looked out for their interests, and will
continue to do so. Those who allow them
selves to be drawn into the populist party
will have as much cause to regret it as
they have to regret spending their money
for the benefit of the demagogues who got
control of the alliance. They have had
sufficient experience to show them the
direction in which their interests are.

A Lawyers Trick.

In the murder trial before western court,
says the Chicago Times, the prisoner could
account satisfactorily for the whole OF his
time except i've minutes On the evening when
the crime was committed. Ais lawyer argued
that 1t was impOssit lie for him to have killed
the man under the circumstances in so brief
period, and on that plea largely based his
defense, the other testimony being strongly
against mis- client.
When the prosecuting attorney replied he
SAID:
How long a time really is five minutes
Let s see, WIN his honor command atso-
lutte silence in the courtroom for that SpaCe:''
The Judge COmpl ed. there was a clock on
the wall. Every eye in the courtroom was
fixed upon it as the pendulum licked OF the
seconds in Dreathless silence
The keen-witted lawyer waited until the
tired audience gave sigh of relief at the
close OF the period and then asked quietly:
could he not nave struck one fatal blow in
all that tme:'
The prisoner was found guilty, and. as it
was proven afterward justly

Should Sign the Bill at Once.
From the New York Herald and \

Unless President Cleveland means to veto
the tarit bill he should sign 10 S soon as Dos
Stole. The supreme reason for prompt action
is the cOuntry's need of relief from suspense,
but there are other reasons. Conspicuous
among these is the fact that II he should per
NIT tie oil TO become a law without his sig
nature the treasury would be cheated out of
the expected revenue from the increase OF
the tax on spirits. If the bill were permitted
to hang fire for ten DAYS nearly all the spirits
now In bond could be Withdrawn by the pay
ment Of only ninety cents per gallon tax and
the twenty cents gallon increase fixed by
the new bill would be taken from the
people, not for the benefit OF the
treasury but for the propt of the
whisky trust and other distllers The Ques.
ton Is whether this enormous additional tax
shall be collected from the people for the ben
eit OF the government. or is it to be tribute

A New story of Grant in Japan.

when Gen. Grant was in Japan" re
marked the son of a Japanese general to a
New York Press writer, the emperor invited
the general to cross the imperial footbrldge

but the blood royal had ever trod Cen
Grant accepted the invitation and walked
across beside the Mikado. until they had
reached the center of the bridge Then he
stopped, profoundly salnted the emperor. and
said.
Your majesty. l have come so far to show
you that l was not insensible to the honor

Gov. Northen paid especial attention to
the crops in the country through which
he passed on his way to Nebraska few
days ago. 1t has even been alleged, in a
spirit of humor, that the governor kept
his head out of the car window as long as
daylight lasted, in order to see how the
the corn and peas were getting along. At
any rate, he learned enough to convince
him that the farmers of his own state are
in better condition than those of the
west. There is plenty of corn in Georgia,
while out west that grain is going to be
very scarce this fall. The governor,
therefore, advises the farmers at home to
hold on to all of the corn they possibly
can, as it is going to be worth money!
And the advice is good
