Too Much Cotton.

The New Orleans Times-Democrat Dem).
The south raises too much cotton, any,
way. The danger of too much cotton an
nually recurs. 1t is not a crop that can
be economically raised by small farmers,
and it is not a crop calculated to breed
oontentment of mind in those who do
raise it,

In an interview published in the Rich
mond Times a few days ago ex-President
Harrison is quoted as saying: "The force
bill is a dead issue" 1t has apparently
taken the ex-President long time to dis
cover that fact He is being told every day
now that the tariff is a dead issue in so
far as the current campaign is concerned
Probably he will discover that fact also a.
long time after the majority Of other peo-
pie have done so.

The result of the election in this state
must be great disappointment to Mr..
Tom Watson. 1t is to be supposed he
had lingering hope that if the populists
won 1t the democrats would see the ad-
visibility of taking Mr.. SewalPs name

his name in the place of it.

if Maine gave a big majority against the

tured by the populists Mr.. Watson would

of Mr.. Sewall and accepting him as Mr.,
Bryans running mate.
Well Maine gave big majority against
the democrats, but Georgia didn't make
it appear that there was an overwhelm-
ing demand for Mr.. Watson. On the con-
trary, Notwithstanding the efforts of Mr..
Watson and his populist friends, aided
by the prohibitionists, the democrats car
ried the state by much larger majority
than they did two years ago. The hope
OF a populst victory in Georgia was a
sort of prop which kept Mr.. Watson
from dropping out of sight. We are not
sure that he did not hold back his letter of
acceptance until after the election, know
ing If the populists were successful he
could point to the victory as the result
Of his work and as an evidence of his
political strength. That prop is gone, and
1t is doubtful II we shall see much more
of Mr.. Watson during this campaign.
or hear much more of him after he has
published his letter of acceptance
OF course, Mr.. Watson is a bright man,
but he has been badly euchered in the
little game of politics in which he en-
gagged with Chairman Jones, Senator AL
len and Senator Marion Butler.

In the rush OF getting in the election
news from Florida on Tuesday night a
regrettable error crept into the reports
from Gainesville, making the dispatch
read that III. II. McCreary and j. A.

patch should have read: THE entire
democratic ticket has been elected, with
II. II. McCreary and J. A. Carlisle for

Ex-senator Blair OF New Hampshire has
never been known as a humorist But
according to the dispatches, he perpc-

Carolina the other day. He warned the
populists not TO be captured by the demo-
Gratis, advised the republicans and popu.
lists to fuse, and advised democrats to
capture and take control OF the republi-

The collapse of the South Carolina dis

in a somewhat clouded light before the
public. II Will be remembered that the
investigation was by the state board OF
control, and had to do only with en-
ployes of the dispensary. One of the wit
nesses is the governor of the state, and
one of the parties indirectly involved Is
the chief dispenser. The sudden stoppage
of the inquiry leaves the matter hang

who got the rebates?" Whether the leg

Mr.. A. M. Ramsey, of De Leon, Texas,
