TOO MUCH WOMAN.

Senator Hill thinks there is too much
woman in Washington. He Prooaoly
forgets that politics is business IN WASH
inpton. and that without women poll
would make but little progress. VI
course. from the point OF view OF the
statesman-presuming that every man
does his duty by his country through pa
triotism-Senator Hill is correct. Here
is what he says:
~ think it would be mighty GOOD
idea if tle women were packed away and
sent out of Washington and the men lett
alone here to attend to the business that
they are sent here for by the country
The trouble is there are too many din
ners and too much social dissipation IN
official circles at the capital. No man
can 90 to these fashionable dinners night
after night and sit up until morning at
tending to social functions and be IN any
condition to grapple with the knotty
problems of finance and affairs that are
at this time forced upon the consideration
of our public men. I know that | am
called crusty old bachelor, but if any
sane man will think over what | have
said. | believe he will agree with me and
acknowledge that l am right. The crit
icism applies to members of the senate
and of congress and to officials of the
administration. l attribute good many
foolish blunders made by the public men
of late to just these things, too much So
ciety and not enough attention to and
study of public affairs"

ABOUT COTTON ACREAGE.

The Financial Chronicle contends that
if the cotton farmers keep the cotton
acreage within reasonable limits this
year they will stand good chance OF
getting ten cents pound for the next
cotton crop. The American Cotton
Growers Protective Association has is
sued a circular in which substantially
the same position is taken. The associa-
ton has called meeting at Memphis,
Tenn, to discuss tie ACCESSIBILITY of
adoptlng systematic means for restrict
ing the acreage of colt this year.
There is every reason why the farmers
should act in concert in this matter, and
save themselves from the ruinOus effects
of very low prices for their cotton next
fall.

COMETS MESSAGE.

In his interview with P. j. Moran, of
the Atlanta Constitution, President Go
mez, leader of the Cuban patriots, sent
this message to the people of the United
States:
"Tell the people of the United States
that we have conducted the campaign
honorably, and have faithfully recognize
ed the rules of war; We have destroyed
the property of the enemy as military
necessity. We have respected women
and childrep, and have committed no act
for which brave man should be asham-
ed. The Cuban cause is not to be meas
ured by the lives of men, but will live
until it blooms in triumph"

GETTING ICE FROM The CLOUDS.

What is it that the Yankee won't &C
complish? Every day, almost, we read of
something out of the ordinary that
is the result of his ingenuity. The latest
testimony to his skill comes from Brazil
A Yankee former who moved to that
country and longed for ice water has
utilized a kite for the purpose of obtain
ing it. He fills tin can with water and
sends it to the height of three miles,
where it is promptly frozen. After a
sufficient interval the kite is rapidly
hauled in and the cake Of ice secured.
The inventor is so pleased with the toy
that it is said he now proposes to send
up a kite 80 feet long by a steel wire
cable. Under the kite will be suspended
by pulley, over which runs an endless
chain, cans attached to hooks
The cans will be filled with water and
the speed of the belt upon which they
run will be regulated so that the topmost
cans wip be converted into ice sufficiently
hard to stand the downward journey.

FALLEN ON EVIL DAYS.

Walter Wellman, one Of the brightest
If the Washington correspondents, sends
this criticism of the United States senate
to the Chicago Times-Herald:
uWhat is the matter with the United
States senate? What, indeed? Ii the
trntb must be told, it is body IN de-
cadence. The moral and intellectual tone
of the senate are both falling Tar oeloW
old time standards. Men who nave oeen
only ten years in Washington, daily at
PENDANTS upon the sessions OF congress,
and familiar with the characteristics ano
CAPABILITIES of most of the lndlVlaual
senators, can easily make comparison
which is odious to the senate OF the
present day. Those who have oeen mere
fifteen or twenty years, as have nuhoeF
writer's for the press, look back upon
the senate and the senators OF that DAY
almost with tears in their eyes. Ihen
the senate was, indeed, the most dlgnl-
fed legislative body on EARTH such It's
members are still wont to term 1t, out
the words are sarcastic. Then every
member Of the senate was man or ma
tional reputation. Now there are only
few senators whose fame extends much
hevond the borders of their own states,
and in many cases their reputation is as
politicians or spectators or money
makers. or for something besides states
manship. Where are the ConkIins, the
Thurmans, the Fessendens, the Wades,
the Becks, the'Turnbul.s, the Summers,
the brilliant, broad and able men OF this
day? One hunts almost in vain for them
=; 4Lo eoroto obamnnr There are S6na
ators of ability and high character, but
the dry rot appears to be in them, and
the pail of partyism, of narrowness or of
slothfulness seems to be hanging over
one and all. Rarely, indeed, does the de
bate rise to a respectable level. If the
cranks are not exploiting their single
ideas the brawlers are engaged in per-
sonalities sadly out of place in the SEN
ate. The upper branch of the American
congress has fallen on evil days. >"
