An AppcaI 90 CarlisIe.

That is a rather remarkable petition
which the friends Of Senator Blackburn
have sent 10 Secretary Carlisle. Remark
able things. however. are all the time hap
pcning in politics. The petition asks Mr..
Carlisle 10 use his influence with the
sound money democrats Of the Kentucky
legislature in Senator Blackhurn's behalf.
The petitioners seem to think that Mr..
Carlisle can get them to vote for Senator
blackburn and that with the votes Of
the sound money democrats the senator
can Doe elected
But why should Mr. Carlisle assist
Senator Blackburn? What reasons are
there that would likely influence him to
comply with the request or the petitioners
1t is true that Senator Blackburn is a
democrat. and so is AR Carlisle. but the
senator has not obcyed the law OF his
party. The last state convention in Ken
lucky adopted sound money platform
That platform is the law for democrats
in Kentucky until it is changed by a sub
sequent convention. Has Senator Black
burn obeyed that law? He has not. on
the contrary. ne has deliberately and pur-
posoly violated it.
Mr.. Carlisle has obeyed the party law
and has done his utmost to uphold it,
Under the circumstances, how could Mr..
Carlisle assist Senator Blackburn without
being Inconsistent? II he should now say
to the sound money democrats that they
ought to support Senator Blackburn. he
would stultify himself.
1t has been intimated that he will reply
to the signers of the petition. saying it is
no business of his to try TO influence mem
bers of the legislature. The most he
could do to assist Senator Blackburn
would be to refuse to NEEDLE in the con-
test in any respect.
There is another reason which might
induce Mr.. Carlisle to hesitate TO lend Mr..
Blackburn a helping hand. 1t is this:
Soon after the legislature met the mem
bers of the legislature who are friendly
to Mr. Blackburn met and it is said
pledged themselves that under no circum-
stances would they vote for Mr.. Carlisle
for senator. Why they should have shown
their hostility to Mr.. Carlisle in that un-
called for way is not apparent. Mr..
Carlisle has not been a candidate for the
senate at any time and he has no inten-
ton of becoming a candidate. The action
Of Senator Blackburn's friends indicates
a degree Of hostility to him that justifes
him in making no effort in behalf of Sena-
tor Blackburn.
Mr. Carlisle will, of course, answer the
petition Of the Blackburn adherents, but
he will do So in all probability, in man
ner that will give no satisfaction to Mr.
Blackburn and his friends.

Morgan and the Bonds.

The demand which J. Pierpont Morgan
makes for all the defaulted bonds pre-
sents an interesting question for the Sec
rotary of the Treasury to decide 1t is
known that William Graves of New York
to whom was assigned $4,50O,OCO of bonds.
cannot make his first payment. His bid
was over lis, and he was unable to sell
his allotment of bonds or to pay for them
Consequently, the bonds so back to the
treasury.
Mr. Morgan's bid was over Ito and he
was allotted all the bonds which were not
taken at higher prices. 1t is a question
whether he is entitled to the Graves al
lotment BY reselling the bonds the gov
eminent can save between $175,OOO and
$4,000. 1t is a nice little fortune for
which Mr. Morgan is contending.
There is only one thing for Secretary
Carlisle to do. and that is to abide by the
decision of the law officer of the treasury
department. If Mr. Morgan is entitled
to the bonds there ought not to be any
hesitation in giving them to him But he
should not have them as matter of
favor. and it is quite certain that he will
not get them unless he has the legal
right to them 1t is certain that Mir. Car
isles political enemies will criticise him
severity if he permits Mr.. Morgan to have
the bonds even though it is clear that the
law gives them to him.

The ex-eminent Mr.. Sullivan of Boston
expresses the opinion that, instead of
crushing out the glorious and manly art"
of pugihsm, the legislative bodies of the
country should cultivate it. for the reason
that If men would learn to defend them
selves with their fists, there would be
fewer pistol toters," and consequently
less bloodshed. Mr. Sullivan of Boston is

The Texas democratic executive com
mittee (silverite) has ordered a primary
election, with the protested object of as
pertaining the views of the party upon
the silver question. The ballots will be
printed For Bimetallism'' and Against
Bimetallism and for the Single Gold Stan
dard." The wording of the ballots is a
fraud upon the issue. There can be no
bimetallism under the free coinage of sill
yer at the ratio of 16 to 1, and the leaders
OF the movement know it. They know
full well that if any such law were en-
acted as they demand, the country would
be placed upon the single silver standard,
and gold would be driven out. Neverthe-
less, the Texas committeeman are willing
to deceive the people. if they can, by max
ing them believe they are voting for BIZ
metailism when they vote in favor of the
16 to 1 idea.

Riders of bicycles had better take care to
observe the regulations that are on the
ordinance books, or they may shortly find
other and more disagreeable restrictions
imposed. 1t is against the ordinances to
ride without a light at night, yet every
night when it isn't raining the rule is
broken. The policemen have been lenient
so far, but presently patience viii cease
to be virtue. 1t is noticed that ladies
are the worst offenders. In a group of
six lady riders on Bull street a night or
two ago, there was not one carrying a
lamp. 1t would be decidedly embarrass-
ing to lady if a policeman should take
her to the barracks for riding without
light, but the ordinances do not distinguish
between sexes. If riders continue to
abuse the indulgence of the authorities
they will regret it when it is too late.

''The Free Silver Death Blow.
From the Philadelphia Times Qnd.).

The vote in the House on Friday reject
ing the Senate free silver substitute for
the bond bill, was so overwhelming that
ii can be accepted only as complete
death blow TO the free silver craze. With
the power in the Senate furnished by
seven states, and fourteen senators rep
resenting less population than we have
in the city of Philadelphia alone. it will
take time to restore that body to an
honest financial system, but II will come
sooner than is now generally expected.
During the next administration members
OF the Senate viii almost entirely line up
leaving a freak here and there only TO
REPRESENT populisrn.

Republican Senator Pritchard of North
Carolina is not happy. His term expires
next year, and it begins to look very
much as if Marion Butler and the popu-
lists were planning to shake him off. The
populists think they are strong enough
to carry the state next time without the
aid of the republicans, and are therefore
not anxious to renew the fusion agree
ment. Unless the agreement is continued
the republicans will stand a poor chance
of capturing any of the offices. The leg
islature to be elected this fall will choose
the successor to Pritchard. and if the pop
ulists carry the state without republican
aid, Pritchard's career will be cut short.

action of the Senate means that the sem

of publication will be $4,000, which the
government will have to pay. That seems
like a pretty big sum to pay for the
printing of books which will be read by
nobody except the proofreaders in the
publication office; still there will probably
not be a great kick made against the ex-
pense; it's government money.

Mhnt SINH The Hnrrcst Re,

Shall the output of the next cotton crop
be 100000 bales or 100000 bales? Not
only the whole cotton trade, but the
whole south-merchants. doctors. law
yers, and everybody else-is interested
in the answer to the question The sta
tistieal position of the cotton market is
now strongly in the producers favor.
The stock of cotton in sight is smaller
than has been the case for years, and
the demand for spinners' use is much i'm
proved. 1t rests with the cotton produce
ers to say whether this desirable situation
shall be maintained, and probably still
further strengthened, or whether by the
production of a great surplus the price
shall be again forced down to the starva-
ton point. 1t seems that there could be
but one reply to the proposition, and
that that reply would be in favor of
small crop and profitable prices. Never
theless reports from several points in this
state Indicate that cotton planters are
making preparations for the increasing
Of their cotton areas over those of last sea-
son.
lars and cents. than very large one
was conclusively shown last year. The
Cotton Growers Protective Association,
which met at Memphis recently, assert
ed that the crop of 1895 was worth nearly
100000 more than was the crop of the
year before. Notwithstanding it was some
100000 bales short of the crop of 1894
The association took into consideration
the increased and increasing demand for
cotton, and declared that if the planters
would confine themselves to a 1000, 900
bale crop each year for ten years, they
would inevitably become "the richest and
most prosperous agriculturist people of
the world"
The south has an incalculable advantage
in the production of cotton. Indeed, it
has a virtual monopoly. It has been DEM
onstrated that cotton can be grown here
for five cents a pound. Several planters
have declared in the public prints that
they can produce cotton to be sold at
five cents pound and make good profit
on it. The average farmer cannot do
that however Taking five cents a pound
as the average cost of production, is it
better to plant for a crop to sell for
seven and half to eight cents, or for a
crop to sell for five cents? That is what
the question of whether it shall be q
100000 bale crop or 100000 bale crop
amounts to. Upon the answer of the
cotton growers depends the financial vel
fare of the southern states
