Presldent NfcKinley Is making somethin

President Mckinley is making something
of a record as a pardoner of bank off,
Gals convicted Of various violations of the
criminal and banking laws. Within the
current month he has pardoned five or six
banker convicts. some of whom had serv-

II is announced in the dispatches that
the mixed -four" bill, passed by the
House, docs not deal with -four adulter-
ated by the use Of tale and other miner
ais" This suggests the query, is -four,
mixed with corn starch and corn meal,
more harmful than -four mixed with tale
ana other minerals? Some time ago the
glucose trust issued a circular indirectly
inviting grocers to adulterate their -four
with a certain percentage of the corn

yellow Fever, Cost and Cause.
Memphis Commercial Appeal Dem.) }.

The epidemic of 1878 cost this country
over 1900 lives and S1O0OOO, 900; and the
recent visit of yellow fever has cost us
several hundred lives and incalculable
damage TO business. Gen Wyman is of
the opinion that the present infection may
have been brought to Ocean Springs by
Cuban Insurgents, who made that village
their temporary headquarters So what
ever may be done in the way of amending
or extending the present quarantine law, 1t
is evident that the clearest way out of the
difficulty, the direct and practical rem
edy, is TO strike at the seat of the disease,
which is Havana.

The Low Price of Cotton.
From the New Orleans Picayune Dem }.

Unfortunately for the farmers, there is
practically no speculation in cotton this
season; hence, the consumers have no
competition, and can quietly await the
time when the pressure of cotton on the
market forces prices down to a figure
which suits them. If spectators could
be induced to take hold, and existing low
prices ought to prove a tempting bait
Ii would not take long to improve the ex-
listing condition of affairs. The agitation
in favor of a reduction of acreage for next
year will soon commence, and the longer
the depression I'm prices exists the more
general and successful will be the move

Long Distance Jingoism.
From the Kansas City Star (Dem)

Senator Morgan says that the United
States needs Hawaii for the purpose of
protecting Alaska. In view of the fact
that Hawaii is 1900 miles from Alaska, it
is plain that nothing short of the sublime
imagination of the Alabama senator can
comprehend the grandeur of such a notion
of public defense. The argument that the
possession of Alaska by this country will
be endangered unless Hawaii is annexed
is quite the most entertaining and anus
ing that has been advanced in favor of
taking in those far-away islands.

Whatever else may be said of the Span
ish soldiers in Cuba, they are splendidly
patriotic. They have fought for eight
months without pay, and without the hope
that for thirty to forty years after the
conclusion of the war their government
would pay them pensions amounting to
hundreds of millions of dollars.

The old story with regard TO the EN-
peror of Germany being the rightful heir
to the throne of England has been re-
vived in Berlin and London; and the
queer part of it is that the emperor him
self is said to be giving serious thought
to the matter. 1t is perfectly safe to say,
however, that William will never occupy
the throne SO long waited for by his es-
teemed uncle, Albert Edward of Wales.
