Republican Faction leaders Perfect th
New Combine.

new NOIunines
PHILADELPHIA, May 8.-The impression
is now general that harmony will shortly re-
unite the Republican party factions in this
city, aud may extend to Pittsburg. BY the
middle Of this week the new combine Of
ward leaders win be formally organized at a
meeting to be held for that purpose.
IL is claimed there are now twenty two
wards, containing 531 divisions, and conse
quen ~ entitled to 53l delegates in county
convention in the harmony movement one
of the ward leaders stated that in calculating
the number of delegates the new combination
would control, the entire number from each
of the wards represented in the movement
was counted It is argued that those which
could not be controlled by their representa-
tivcs would be more than offset by delegates
from other wards, so that the new Combine
is confident that 10 is already in position to
dictate nominations, if not to enforce
harmony.
In this connection it might be stated that
Senator Durham will have more than Ordi
nniy influence in the federal appointments
i'm this city, and that he is heartily in favor
of the harmony movement. Senator Quay
las practically decided to leave the appoint
ments ia the eastern part of the state to Seua-
tor penrose. This was made plain the other
day when an applicant from an eastern
county called upon Qury for appointments
and the caller was informed that Penrose' S
endorsement was the great requisite.
This is construed to mean that Senator
penrosc will also name the next Postmaster,
Collector and Surveyor Of the Port Naval
Officer, Superintendent of the Mint and
other officers in Philadelphia,

A good story concerning the effect of
alcohol on the human mind was told by
a statesman from jefferson City, Mo,
lately, says the Chicago Chronicle. A
stenographer employed in an official ca
pacity at the state capitol was sent away
from town to secure shorthand notes of
an important nature. Before cOmmenc-
ing work he imbioed a large quantity
Of whisky, but he completed the task aft
er a fashion and returned to the capital.
Some days later he was called upon to
translate the notes, and soon discovered
that he could not read them. He re-
called the condition he was in when he
took the notes and decided that if he
would acquire a new jag of exactly the
same proportions everything would be
perfectly plain to him. Straightway he
purchased a quart of whisky and COM
menced putting himself through course
of training. When he concluded that this
jag had reached the proper dimensions he
resumed a study of his notes, and, won
derful to relate, he experienced no diff
Guilty in reading them. From time to time
he took copies draughts of jefferson City
frewater and completed his task in a
higaly satisfactory manner. There may
be temperance advocates who will doubt
this story. but the statements can be
substantlated that the stenographer was
drunk when he took his original notes;
that he aftcrWard claimed that he could
not read his notes unless he acquired a
similar jag and that while drunk the sec
ond time he did correctly interpret every
one of his shorthand characters.

A. 10 HnIding Cotton.

About this time every season the farm
ers are advised 10 hold their COTTON. We
note from day TO day the headline over
editorial articles in Georgia newspapers:
Hold Your Cotton" We doubt the Wis
dom of the advice. There is not farmer
in the state of any considerable experience
but has at some time or other paid atten-
ton 70 sucn advice and held his cotton,
only TO sell for lower price chan ne
would have obtained had ne followed his
own better judgment.
Tine current cotton crop has been raised
and will be harvested upon basis of cost
calculated to make present prices remun-
eraJive If the crop were all sold at ru.-
ing prices there would be nothing like the
"Dutchman' one per cent" of profits, to
be sure, but the producers would take fair
profits upon their investments of capital
and labor 1t would be better of course
if the farmers could force the market
higher by holding back a part of their
crop; we would all like TO see cotton so to
ten cents a pound. But the chances Of
success in a movement of the kind are
not greater than one in hundred, as has
been demonstrated over and often. Prices
are based upon the size of the crop and
the demand. II is not practicable to keep
the size of the crop a secret The gov
ernment agricultural department and
dozens of cotton firms have systematized
sources OF information for the collection
of data with regard to the crop. BY the
time the actual cotton has reached the
port or counting point its effect upon the
market has long since been felt one way
or the other. In holding cotton, there
fore, the farmer most often not only fails
to assist in strengthening the present mar
ket but weakens that of the future by
carrying over staple to be counted in the
stock on hand at the end of the season.
At ruling prices, there is some profit
in cotton 10 farmers. This being the case,
to hold the Gotten back, it seems to us,
would be like risking the substance to
grasp at the shadow of the possibility of
higher prices

Are Their ENes Opcnt

Once upon a time there was a poliu-
clan. and he wanted an office. The decla-
ration may sound strange, but it is true.
To the end of securing his office the pol
itician went around making speeches and
button-holing individuals. telling all that
he knew, and a great deal that he did
not know. Through his assurance, elo-
quence and ability to misrepresent the
position of his opponents. he made some
converts; few people believed what he
said. one day he was surprised, and
possibly disgusted, to find that a promi-
nent convert of his had, to employ the
vernacular, gone back on him." and he
asked the aforesaid prominent convert
why he had changed his opinions and de-
serted to the opposition. The converted
convert replied: when you talked to
me l was a newborn political kitten. but
am now nine days old, and my eyes are
open" The moral of this story is that
blind kitten is excusable for making
mistakes through its inability to see
The members of the grand jury, who
voted for the majority report of the spe-
cial committee on drainage doubtless now
thought the majority of the special com
mittee was right or partly so. and they
acted in accordance with the lights be-
fore them. The special committee made
a very good report. 1t reads wen, and
there are some good points in it, but in
the matter of the real issue before the
people, namely. should Buckhalter swamp
be drained while the canals and bitches
in the sections contiguous to the city are
left to care for themselves? the majori-
ty of the special committee made an err
ror. 1t reported in favor of the drainage
of the Buckhalter region, seven to eight
miles from the city, which Is equivalent
to a report against improving the sani-
tary condition of the section Of the coun-
ty nearest to the city. and thereby pro-
tecting the health of the members of the
special committee and their families and
friends, and the taxpayers who are foot
ing the bills for county works Since the
report of the special committee was sub
mitted, facts have been made public with
regard TO the bad condition of the drain
age near and around the city which have
convinced everybody, with the possible ex-
ception of the majority of the special
committee Of the grand jury and certain
members Of the board of county commits
sioners. that the peoples money and the
labor of the chain-gang should not be
wasted in Buckhalter. but employed to
the advancement of the health Of the city
by putting the outskirts in good sanitary
condition.
