The young man from Tamarackville was
at the hotel with his bride. says the De
troit Free Press. and, like very many
young men under similar circumstances
he felt it to be his duty to know about a
hundred times rs much as he ever did be-
fore and forty or fifty times as much as
the ordinary individual one meets in his
daily ramifications through localities of
human congregation. 1t was at breakfast
and the young man had ordered cakes for
himself and bride with the hauteur of

emperor to unlock his strong box and
pour out the contents.

He came again in a short time with the
cakes, and over them was one of those
china hot cake covers with hole on the
top of it to let the steam out. This the
waiter removed and set down by the gem
tleman with its top side down. The young
man didn't notice it until he had finished
his cakes and was ready for a finger bowl
a feature, by the way, he was knew to.
His eye fell upon the inverted cover at
once, and he picked it up and nodded to-
ward the waiter.

obsequious worthy, put a cork in this
finger bowl. You must think we are

On Monday. at Atlanta. there will be
a meeting of the Georgia Branch of the
American Cotton Growers Association,
for the purpose of finding out whether
Georgia is likely to approve the effort
which the association is making to bring
about a reduction of the cotton acreage.
1t is expected that every county in the
state will be represented. There is a
branch of the association in each of the
cotton states. and all of these branches
are expected to hold conventions to-
morrow. There will be a meeting of the
association in New Orleans the first Mon
day in April, and it is the plan to have
all the cotton states represented at that
meeting. The agreement to which the
cotton growers are to assent is that they
will reduce their cotton acreage. The
agreement will not be bintling upon
those who sign it unless it is accepted
by 80 per cent. of all the cotton growing
counties or by 70 per cent. of those who
meet in New Orleans in April
1t is regarded as doubtful that enough
of the cotton growing counties will ac-
citation in declaring it binding. 1t is
thought that in this state, for instance,
there will not be a very general acceptance
of the agreement. The cotton farmers
are rather inclined to be free to do as
they please in the matter of planting cot
ton. 1t would not be at all surprising
if the same feeling prevails in about all
the other cotton states.
But whether an agreement to reduce
the acreage or not is reached the cot
ton acreage will be less this year than
it was last The majority of the cotton
farmers lost money last year on account
of the low price of cotton, and their ex-
perience will have the effect of causing
them to reduce their acreage.
There is another thing that will assist
greatly in reducing this years crop, and
that is the limited use of commercial
fertilizers. The sale of fertilizers is much
smaller this year than it was last, and
hence the average yield per acre is GER
tain to be smaller.
Cotton farmers should not make the
mistake of thinking that because there
has been rise in the price of cotton re-
Gently the price next fall viii be higher
than it was last fall. The present rise
may be only a speculative one, based
upon the belief that this years crop will
be smaller than last years was. and if
big acreage should be planted with the
hope of better prices there would likely
be lower prices than there were last
year. If the cotton farmers are wise they
will cut down their acreage greatly. A
comparatively small crop would be far
more profitable than a large one

Paper Pellets Against Spain.
From the New York Post Qnd).

War with Spain is very properly and
constitutionally declared by the Tribune
and Sun, but our pus:llanimous Secretary
of State ''as usual hens and hawS in
stead of acting" When shall We have
secretary who will act first and find out
what it is ali about afterward? Oh, for
one hour of Blaine! The Spanish minis
ter is sure ii is all a mistake, and If there
was any insult to the fiaS, ample apollo
giles will be made, but this only shows
how frightened he is. Besides, is not the
captain Of the Alliance still firm in his
conviction that that round shot would
surely have hit him If X had not fallen
an eighth to a quarter Of a mile short2
Must the flag be shot to ribbons before
we know whether we are insulted or not?
Mr.. Depew, we must say, draws very un>
patriotic distinction as to this point. He
says, Had some one been hit. the matter
would have become complicated and Sc
rious." Besides the discouraging impli-
cation that the affair is not now compli-
Gated and serious, this involves the peri
lous assumption that you cannot be in
suited till you are shot dead. The JOurn-
alistic keepers Of our national dignity
have a finer sense of honor. look as
kance at the flag cuts them Ike a knife,
u gun pointed our way makes their hearts
CULVER and their eyes fill with burning
tears, and shot an ac-
tual shot constitutes deadly
insult which cannot be wiped out except
in double-leaded editorials and a sale
of at least eleven extra copies.
