Does II occur TO our esteemed Uncle sam
that there may be danger OF the rupturing
Of that traditional warm attachment be-
tween himself and his friend RomanOff?
Europe Is busy discussing and circulating
the rumor that the United States are in
some way backing up japan. in connec-
ton with Great Britain Russia is the
power that is opposing japan. and Russia
IS doubtless beginning to think very queer
~ Of the position of the United States. It
may transpire that the House OF Romanoff
will feel constrained TO remind Uncle Sam
that when he was having his little family
quarrel some thirty-odd years ago. 1t was
Russia that sent ships over to these wa
tiers, to give him moral support. while
Great Brftain's sympathies were with the
states that tried to withdraw from the un-
ion. The matter has been harped upon
ever since the incident, and it is not likely
that it will be permitted 10 drop out of
sight now. Meantime. the sympathies of
the people of this country are with Japan
in her disagreement with Russia They
believe that. having won a great victory.
Japan ought 90 have the fruits of it.

4 Pet Theory Knocked out.
From the Douglass (Ga) Breeze Dem)

The higher price in cotton and wheat,
against the decline in silver, completely
knocks the 'stuffin' +" out of the silverites
This to them, must seem quite a calamity

The New Orleans papers are trying to
prevail upon the rice planters of Cal
easieu parish to abandon the practice of
importing corn and oats for stock feed
and paying for it in rice at a lower rela-
tive price than corn and oats sell for. It
is urged that the rice itself should be fed
TO stock. Rice is eaten greedily by all
kinds OF stock. and when it is ground or
crushed, 1t shows excellent fattening re-
suits. The one parish named will, it is
estimated, import this season nearly 900
cars Of corn and oats. at a higher price
than the best rice sells for. Neither corn
nor oats is better feed than. if indeed it be
as good as the rice which is exported to
pay for it, says the Times Democrat. The
rice ought, therefore. to be kept at home.
This matter is worth the attention of
Georgia and Carolina rice planters, as wen
Is that Of the Louisiana planters.

Farmer r. H. Bulloch, aged IS. of Mad
ison county, is an intelligent observer of
the course of the markets. He knew
some weeks ago that cotton would go
up in price, whether there was free coin
age OF silver or not. so he bought
one hundred or more bales from his
neighbrs at the then prevailing price.
A few days ago he took his cotton down
TO Athens and sold it for 6la cents. His
profit was in the neighborhood of $14 a
bale. and he comes out about $. 400 ahead.

The suggestion of Prof. Budd of Iowa,
that the lack of proper drainage is the
cause of the pear blight. is reasonable and
may be correct. The fruit growers of the
state should give the subject Of drainage
careful considerat ton. There can be little
doubt that improved drainage would have
the result Of improving the fruit whether
it removed the cause of the blight or not.
Ana besides benehtting the fruit, it would
make the farms more healthful.

If the earth should slip what would
happen? The question suggests POSSIBLE
tiles that are too fearful to contemplate.
However, there is no occasion for alarm.
Prof Rees Of the Columbia college OBJ
servatory says that as a matter of fact
the earth is slipping. and has been slip
ping for untold years. but SO little that
it really makes no difference to anybody
except scientists, and TO them only as it
interferes with some of the bases for
their calculations. For thousands of
years the old orb has been behaving
in a strictly honorable and motherly
fashion, and there is no reason to sup
pose that at this day. or any other that
can be foreseen, she will depart from
her upright ways. except probably for
matter of some few feet, not enough
TO take her out of her orbit.

The New York Yacht Club should in
some way have endeavored to keep the
course freer from distractions, but Lord
Dunrayen's complaint upon this point
should have been made Immediately after
the first race. His delay until it was de-
monstrated beyond all question that his
boat was destined to be beaten creates a
strong suspicion that the complaint was
made finally because it afforded con-
venient pretext for withdrawing from
a contest in which his defeat was fore
gone conclusion. Had the Valkyrie fair ly
won either of the two races Lord Dunraven
would not probably have taken quite so
serious view of the crowding of the ex-
cursion steamers. Though defeated, Lord
Dunrayen would have won far more
credit by sailing the races out, but disap-
pointment often distorts mans mental
vision-and that Lord Dunraven was
grievously disappointed by the result of
the first two races there can be no doubt.
He thought he had much better boat

Secretary Carlisle is. sgoing to
hear arguments on Comptroller Bowler's
decision in the sugar bounty case, but
Bowler is altogether too big man for
Carlisle to fool with and he had better
beware. Bowler overrules Congress.
Bowler decides upon the constitutionalty
of laws. Bowler is bigger than Congress
and the Supreme Court together. Who
knows but Bowler, if provoked, may de-
clare the Secretary of the Treasury I'M
constitutional, and send Carlisle back to
Kentucky right in the midst of the fight
between free silver and sound money-a
fight which Secretary is said to be anxious
to keep as far away from as possible. We
advise Carlisle to go slow with Bowler.
For the sake of harmony Bowler may
consent to allow the Secretary to hear ar
guments, but that will be the limit of
his concession To override Bowler would
be about equivalent to placing charge
of dynamite under the administration.

Some years ago the Hon. Roger @.
Mills told a listener to one of his free
trade speeches in Connecticut who asked
him Z. question to ego and soak his
head?" Apparently the advice the Sena-
tor gave his questioner be has been tax
ing himself, for he has just emerged from
years obscurity with all the free silver
ideas gone from his head and in their
place bran new set of ''sound money!
views stamped sterling" by the admin
istration. He undertakes to tell in a
letter how the change came about, but
we have little doubt but the soaking pro-
cess really accounts for it-not soak n in
water, but IN deep reflection upon the
patronage which the administration may
give or withhold. Lots of Office holders
become sound money men by this process.
There is Carlisle for instance. 10 hear
him talk one would think he was the
original "gold bug" and yet no longer
than two or three years ago he professed
to think the country was on the high
road to perdition because silver had been
degraded by the crime of 1873.

1t seems there is still such thing as
"offensiye partisanship" and that an
officeholder who is guilty of it is liable
to have his head taken off notwithstand-
ing recent report that Mr.. Cleveland
had thought better of the famous order
of his first admins tration and would not
reissue it, This is demonstrated by the
removal of a deputy collector in the Mar
blehead district of Massachusetts, for
criticizing some features of the admins
tration in a newspaper. Partisanship
offensive to the administration is still un-
der the ban, but the other kind will
not only not to leopard the officeholder's
position, but may even increase the adj
ministration's affection for him. The
officeholders may make themselves as
offensive as they see fit in the support of
s'sound money!" but let them beware
how they whisper word in favor of free
silver.
