Last Friday Capt. Cromwell, Of
the internal revenue bureau. arrest
ed seven negroes in West Point for
retailing liquor without federal IL
cense. They were called before U.
s. commissioner Sims, but compro-
missed by paying costs and taking
out the licenses required in the fed
eral statute.
Now, West Point is a "dry town"
where liquor selling is prohibited,
yet these people fortify themselves
by federal licenses and carry on
their trade il seems without local
interference.
This thing is going on probably
in every dry county in the state.
The people close up the saloons and
then wink at or at all events permit
the traffic under federal license

A Republican exchange very prop
~ blames the sugar planters for ever
voting the Democratic ticket II says
they knew that an honest tariff for
revenue only would not enable them
TO continue in business.
If that is the case it Is time they
went out Of business. If sugar plant
ing will not pay without a bounty
now, it will not pay without bounty
five years from now, or ten. And the
government has no right to take S1l,.
100000 a year out of the treasury 10
hold up business that doesn't pay
Or, II It has, the wheat growers should
get to the front.
There isn't crop raised in the north
west that would pay,produced after the
planter style Of the sOuth-all the labor
and high-priced overseer hired while
the owner spends a good share of his
time in tho city. This is the kind ol
industries the Iowa farmers arc 0.
bliged by the bounty system to help
support. This is the kind of system
that tho Democrats are blamed for re-
peaiing.-Rock Rapids Iowa Review

G. w. Harper, writing in The Ray.
mond Gazette, says:
"Frequently the remark is made
in my presence, never before was
cotton so low as now This is a
mistake. The first bale OF cotton
ever witnessed sold in Raymond
was in 1874 Gust fifty years ago) and
it sold at the price prevailing at the
period, and that was 4 cents per
pound. And then every acre oi
land cultivated in this county pro-
duced its bale, and every hand that
went to the field produced from ten
to fifteen bales. Corn then sold al
25 cents per bushel, homemade
meat at 4 cents, potatoes at % cents,
meal at 40 cents, -four at SO, ETC.,
and our taxes, state and county
were about one-fourlh of the amount
VIC now pay"

During these hot days when the
people Of the city are compelled to
use water One-third Of which is often
foul mud, the knowledge of a little
household receipt for filtration is GER
tainly valuable. 1t is not generally
known that the old Creoles Of New
Orleans have used alum from the
earliest days as a means Of filtration,
a little alum mixed with the water
preclpitating all foreign matter and
leaving the pure liquid on top. Il
one and half grains Of common al
um be put in a teaspoonful OF water,
or a teaspoonful Of alum in gallon
of water, the former will act on the
water, producing immediate precipi-
tation and making it as clear as crys-
tai. while the small amount OF alum
used will not affect the taste Of the
water. Water filtered in this way is
good for family use either in drink
ing or for laundry purposes.-Ex.

There are now, say, S23 per capt.
ia Of currency afoat; but does this
show that each man, woman aud
child has $23 in hand2 BY no
means. Some have millions, some
have thousands, some have hum
dreds, but a great body have not $40
in cash. Suppose the currency
were increased 10 $50 per capita,
would this increase the amount in
possession per pocket2 Not in the
least. Ii would be divided az be-
fore in about the same proportions.
The milionaires would get tho
largest share; the thousand dollar
men would get the next largest, and
so on down.
In other words, the free-coinage
scheme, like all schemes for addi-
tion 10 the currency, would fail as
an instrumentality for the relief Of
distress, owing TO the want IN il Of
any instrumentalily for transferring
the coins to the pockets Of those
who are short OF money. Under
the free coinage plan, the money
would DO given to the man who had
brought the silver TO the mint to be
coined. Tn other words the gov
ernment would buy his silver from
him at certain fixed rate. When
be drew the money would he hasten
to distribute it among The suffering
farmers or the pOorly.paid mecban-
les 2 BY no means. He would sor-
didly pay it into his own bank ac-
count and draw on it for his own
purposes, in entire indifference TO
the generous motives Of the trainers
Of the bill.
We have not now in public life
many men who have the courage to
combat a popular delusiOn ION the
stump, but there are some left, land
Mr.. Mills, Of Texas, towers above
.hem all. When he told the farm
ers that no matter how much cur
rency we have "per capita" none
of il can get into the farmers pOek-
cts except in exchange for labor or
goods, ne told the saving truth Of
the present crisis. He laid the axe
10 the root Of the "per capita" de-
lusion. He showed that the only
reliei foF the farmer consists not in
getting more money from the gov
ernment, but in compelling the gov
ernment 10 stop taking SO much
money from the farmer. In other
words the farmer must be raised
out Of his present slough by reduc-
ing his taxes.-N. Y. Post.

Cheap Cotton In Is4s-4-5.

Middling cotton was sold in the
Memphis cotton market yesterday
nj SIC. This is the lowest point II
has ever touched here since 1844-45.
In 1S43 the price of middling in
New York went down 10 5 cents,
and the highest that Jear was s
cents. In 1914 New York quoted
middling all the way from from 3 70
9 cents, and in 1S45 from 4 to .
cents. Tie average for the three
years was less than sc. The mark
ct remained close to that range
until 1852, a period Of about ten
years. Taking into consideration
the fact that transportation to New
York cost much more than II does
now, it may be stated as a fact that
the cotton grower in those years
could not have averaged more than
81 cents for his crop in 1843, IA
and AS, and only a small fraction
more in the succeeding six years.
This was time when the much
lauded "dollar Of the daddies' was
was in full bloom, silver coinage
was free and every silver coin, big
and little, was a full legal tender.
The high prices Of cotton follow
ing the war (when there was no sill
YER in circulation, by the way) were
accompanied and to great extent
Offset by the high prices OF the nec-
essaries Of life.-Memphis Scimitar,

sov. and Girls. Sit Erect.

One Of the worst habits young
people form is that of leaning for
ward too much while at work or
study. It is much less tiresome
and more healthy to sit or stand
erect. The round-shouldered, hol.
Iow-chested, and almost deformed
persons one meets every day could
have avoided oil the bad results
from which they now suffer, had
they al ways kept the body erect, the
chest full and shoulders thrown
back. A simple rule is, that if the
head is not thrown forward, but IS
held erect, the shoulders will drop
10 their natural position, giving the
lungs full play. The injury done
bv carelessness in this respect Is,
that by pressing The lungs and pre-
venting their full and natural &C.
tion. lung diseases ensue, usually
consumption. Sic erect boys and
girls and look the world in the face.

For twenty years we have been told
by the political VIC wcol-growers Of Ohio
that high duiies on foreign woods
caused high prices for domestic woods,
aud that free wool would ruin our
sheep industry. Well, ll,-notwithsiand-
ing that wool was protected from 1866
TO 1890 by duties varying from 40 10
60 per cent, prices declined almost
constantly, The average decline being
about 40 per cent. Since 1890, when
Mckinley increased duties, the decline
has been unusually rapid and has av.

"Is Cesaro Santo Geronimo guilty o,

Of First Lieutenant james Nancy, who

Of killing Capt. Hedbcrg at Fort Shert.

been previously tried and acquitted by
the civil courts on charge OF murder.
The charge proved before the court mar.
lial was conduct unbecolning an Oiti cor Ill

This schedule was submitted to the
conference as the ultimatum Of TIE con-

ntcr Smith of New jersey, and tie hOuse
cerfcrccs were given to understand tAat
the schedule was the nearest aDDe0ach
to the requirements that thu senate could
make with any assurance that the bill
would pass In the senate. .3.f
Some of the house conferees were fa-
vor,hly inclined towartl the schedule BE-
cause they believe that 1t defines exactly
the extra duty to be paid on refined
sugars and is frIc from the objection
urged against the senate schedule, that
owing to the wording 'of the schedule Il
was impossible to tell beyond the eighth
of cent differential what the duty would
be on the refined article. They are Of the
opinion that the duty In the schedule
presented yesterday will be confined to
one-fifth of cent differential. II 10 un-
derstood, however, that while inclined
to accept these figures as the best they
can get, and while considering that In
this they secure an advantage over the
senate schedule they indicated desiss
to consider the question over night, aud
that. it was ON this account that the de-
cision was postponed until to-day.
A report received from an inside sourca
Is to the effect that some of the house
ccnferees found this schedule objectiou-
able from several points of view, and
when the time for Adjournment wHs
reached had not only failed to indicate .
willingness to accept the schedule, but
had said that 80 far as they have been
able 10 master It's details they considered
1t unacceptable. 1t was this expression
of opinion on their part which left, tho
situation in such doubt when the confer
ence adjourned and rendered It possible
that instead of an agreement being
reached the result might be q disagree
ment. The pressure for bill Is 20 strong
In the party, however, that the probabil-
tiles arc all still favorable to an agrae-
ment on GONE line. s,t'
The conferees are still in session this
afternoon, but it Is possible that some
action may be taken before adjournmets
this evening.
