A HALF TRUTH.

Ex- Governor Lewelling of Kansas, in the January North American Review, says that twenty five or thirty years ago bale of cotton would buy $500, while now it re- quires seventeen bales. This is only half truth, and demands further explanation. The period to which MT. Lewelling refers was just after the war, when everything possessed ap abnormal value. It is not just to compare that time to the present. MT. Lewelling's object in making the compari- son was doubtless to add further to the dis content existing among the farmers in some sections of the cotton belt.
 There are several reasons going to show that the farmers now are as prosperous as at the period when cotton sold for an ab- normal price. At that time everything else was high. While cotton is now low, every commodity that the farmer buys is also cheap.
 Again, the farmer once sold only the lint of the cotton, while now he sells it's seed. The price that he gets for the seed adds at least one-third more to the value of the cotton.
 Then it has been discovered that cotton seed meal and hulis will fatten cattle much better, quicker and cheaper than corn. It Costs lU Cenls udy oo idtleu peei oh Soe.oh seed meal while it costs 20 cents day to fatten beef on corn. This discovery is rap idly transferring the stock raising indus try from the Northwest to the South. The South Alabama and Mississippi farmers are buying the half starved cattle of the West and bringing them to the South and fatteniDg them before shipping. Cotton seed meal also gives finer flavor to the beef. This fattening of cattle in the South will restore the appreciation of the beef eating Englishmen for American beef. The English have recently been somewhat quaIu ous over tue quality of American beef

try, it will be remembered. the Socialists have recently been very aggressive. They refused to cheer the Emperor, and have otherwise made themselves obnoxious to the powers that be.
 ~The Socialist party in France is growing very strong, and it is at the bottom of the present trouble. TlIe immediate cause of the crisis was the Dreyfus affair. The Socialists contend that he should have been punished with death, after the army code. The financial scandals that have torn and divided the French people re- gently have further complicated political affairs. The sensation attending the Panama canal scandal has not yet died away. The son of Count De Lesseps now threatens to give further damaging facts in regard to the swindle. Since his father's death he feels freer to divnlge the secrets he possesses.

The House of Lords.

The mental power of the peers general ly is probably upon level with that of any other educated body of men, while such as are above the average in capacity find no scope for their powers, sitting. as they do, in an assembly where almost everything that is done is of destructive character. Nor is this all The country does not get full benefit from those men who have been raised to tho peerage by way of reward for eminent services Every great statesman, lawyer or philoso- pher who is honored with peerage is lost in legislative body which is without di- rect influence, and all statesmen recognize this so fully that they only accept peer age whom about to retire from active par ticipation in political life. They regard seat in the house of lords as equivalent to extinction. p.--Westminster Review

A AGRACEFUL COMPLIMENT.

The election of MT. A. J. Camp to the position of City Clerk and Auditor by the Mayor and Alderman last night was a most graceful and surprising compliment to a worthy gentlemen and a most efficient man. MT. Camp will be, perhaps, more astonished at the announcement than will the general public. He did not solicit the position, and is absent from the city, en- gagged in private business enterprise. He has served the city faithfully for three years as Auditor, during which time he in- stituted new system and original forms, and at the close of his term presented a beautiful and comprehensive record of his long service to the city. The many friends of Mir. Camp, who are interested in the well fare of the city, will rejoice if he will accept the office rendered him. There are few office men of equal ability to that possessed by Gus Camp.

THE FRENCH CRISIS.

The resignation of M. Casimir. Perier, President of France, is apparently very sudden, yet to those who have observed the trend of events it is not unexpected. For several months affairs in France have been approaching a crisis. The storm cen- ter has ragged around the President. Ia France the President is defenseess. He is not expected to defend himself politically. His only recourse under fire is resignation. When M. Casimir- Perier accepted the Presidency he insisted that he must be free from attack from political enemies. This was conceded, but the agreement has been violated. The ex-President is very wealthy man, and perhaps there is shadow on the mapper in which he or his father accumulated their fortune. This seems to have been his vulnerable point, and the manifesto, signed by forty -four deputies, applied the epithet, "the king of Anziu,' to the President-the name Anzin being that of the mines out of which the father of the President made 40,000, coo francs. This manifesto surpassed in violence any similar document yet is. sued, and the Ministers thought of prose. cutting the signers for insulting the Presi- dent. The resignation of the President was the climax of stirring events leading up to it.
 The political excitement that has been raging for some weeks is not due to foreign complications, for the Italian affair has been settled. but is solely due to domestic politics. The Ministry secured a maj iority in the Chamber last week, but it was a very weak majority, and the Socialist oppos- tion assumed considerable proportions. It is understood in France that unless the administration has two-thirds of the Cham. Der it is lacking in the confidence of the people. The administration failed of this necessary two- thirds. Hence the Minis. ters were afraid to order the prosecution of fhe signers of the manifesto. They were further afraid that such course would

During the reception fine band was stationed behind palms and trop- ical plants and discoursed sweetest music. In the evening at 9 o'clock tne young peo- pie came in large numbers and enjoyed until a late hour one of the most charming receptions ever given in Birmingham. There was dancing during the evening. Birmingham has never had more elegant entertainment than the tea and reception which introduced Miss Lane to her mother's friends and Birmingham society.
 Miss Watkins did not arrive in time for Mrs. Lane's reception, much to the regret of many friends.
 The Philhedonians will give one of their enjoyable coalitions next Tuesday evening.
