buying Italy out of the Triplice. He

no sort of doubt that Herr was engaged
in a mission to Rome by a syndicate OF

At a meeting of anarchists In New
York the other night, the air was blue
with threats and plots to assassinate,
burn and destroy. The notorious
Emma Goldman was principal speak
er: elouuently eulogized the assassins
Santo and Coli, and sought to inspire
other fools to take their lives in
their hands and win notoriey at the end
of the poinard or the fuse of dyna-
mite bomb. But it is noticeable that
these frothing, blood breathing muir
derers of New York, keep clear of Eu-
rope and the monarchs and princes, to-
wards whom they manifest such ami
mostly. They are careful, also, to Sc
lect from among their number, when
there is a dire deed to be done, the
weakest fool of the lot to be the vic
tim of capture The leaders never eX-
pose themselves to danger. They inva-
riably choose some fellow who is of
small consequence in the world, and
whose intelligence is most easily Grip
led and enslaved by the sophistry and
rawlings of the fomentors of asassina-
ton.

ALASKAN GOVERNMENT.

First among the Acts of the APP

organization of the Territory of Alaska.
years has served fairly we'll for past
conditions. But Alaska is now brought
into such relation with the commercial
world, and promises to be so devel-
oped as to mineral and other resources,
that something better must be estab-
lished
For instance, there is no means now
provided by law by which a road could
be constructed, yet road from Juneau,
or from Dyea or Skaguay to the Brit
ish line is certain to be demanded, and
it is proper that it should be promoted
by the local Government The mining
immigration of next spring ought not
be subjected to the enormous. cost now
required to get freight over the mount
aims to the head waters of the Yukon.
when thirty miles of ordinary good road
will make the passage one of ease and
low cost. Not even a toll road
could be established under present con-
ditions, with safety to the capital that
would have to be invested.
Civil government is barely discernible
in Alaska. now, for its real seat is at
far away Washington. The courts are
on the coast and almost inaccessible
to the large population that next spring
will be found in the interior. 1t IS GER
tainly going to be necessary to have a
better form of government in the Yukon
country, and this need gives some force
tothe suggestion that the Yukon section
be erected into a distinct Territory,
with all the necessary equipment OF
civil government.
AS matters now are, the Alaskan
seat of government is nearly 800 miles
away from the upper Yukon by one
route. and $500 by the water course.
When Americans go into a new section
of the country they always wish to
take with them the forms of civil gov
eminent and the Institutions to which
they are accustomed. In this case they
cannot do so, and therefore all those
who locate on the American side OF the
line will be compelled by force of ne
cessity to establish tribunals and reg
ulations not recognized by law, in or
der that life and property may be Sc
cure and personal rights be gua1 ded
and enforced. Congress will therefore
neglect a duty if it fails to provide for
easternmost Alsaka a form of civil
government that the needs Of the peo-
pie call for.

The Low Price of Cotton.

The low price of cotton has knocked busi-
ness in the head, and tor time the people
are dazed and do not know what to do.
All sorts OF predictions as to future prices
have been made.
AS a rule Southern people are hopeful. and
always expect prices to 60 up. The history
OF the past shows that 1t has been going down, /,
down, down.
Our farmers not unlike others, have held
their cotton and now realize a considerable
loss. Whether the price will go up or down
from now on no one knows, but at the pres
ent prices there seems but little room for a
fall. The present price OF cotton is very much
like the man who met train ofcars on dark
night in the middle ofa trestle. He couldn't
reach the farther end. and so Ne got down and
held with his hands by the cross-ties while
the train passed, and thus saved his life. But,
when the train passed he could not regain his
position. Feeling that he could hold only for
a little while longer, until he would fall from
exhaustion and be dashed to death on the
rocks which, as he feared, laid far below, he
said his prayers, and made his peace with his
Maker. His hands finally slipped off the
cross-ties and he fell to the ground below-a
distance of about eight inches.
II our farmers hold on the prices will not
have far to fall, but If 1t rises it may go up
enough TO do some good.
We never give advice about selling cotton.
We know nothing about it, but this editor has
never held any bale that came into his pos
session any longer than he could get it to
market.

We,n All BE Dukes and EarIes.

Some OF our contemporaries in Georgia and
South Carolina are inveighing against the
use of military titles. The Press and Banner
does not object to giving titles to those who
desire them. Some men are satisfied with
plain Mr." and we are among that number.
But there are others who like to be called COL
onel or General or Judge or Honorable. We
love to be agreeable and give out the title or
compliment where 1t will do the most good.
We do not object to giving a man any title
that he likes. 1t does him some good in the
matter Of feeling and fools nobody, and cheats
nobody. We are always willing to be gen.
erous with the giving Of titles and honors.
It cost nothing to be agreeable and we would
readily give the title of General to plain John
Smith, If he preferred it to Mr.. Smith.
There is one good in giving titles and no
harm in 1t that We know. The good in it Ia
this: Strangers in reading the newspapers
would be impressed with the high standing OF
our citizenship.
No, sir; we are going to stick to the Colo
nels, the Generals and the Honorables.

AN EMINENT CARDINALS EDICT.
He Endorses the Circus but Prohibits
the Theater.

The action Of Cardinal Richard, Archbishop
of Paris, in forbdding his clergy under penal
ty OF suspension, to visit the theatre, while
approving of the circus at 1.-The theatre OF
childhood, where the priest goes as guide OF
children" was deemed Of sufficient impor'
tance to be cabled at length to the New YORK
Sun and has aroused much discussion In both
religious and amusement circles. The posi-
tio1 assumed by Cardinal Richard" said Mr:
Bert Davis, press representative Of the great
Wallace show, to a Gazette, representative
Yesterday, ais largely due to the indisputable
fact that the performance given in the greater
crcuses are on a much higher and purer
plane than many of those tolerated on the
stage today. Expression, incidents and eX.
posures common on the stage would be hissed
from the ring and no responsible circus man
ager would dare to introduce vulgarty or de-
moralizing suggestiveness, In either word or
action Through the liberal introduction OF
fairy-land pageantry. harmless fun, amuslng
animal antics and performances, and other
features best suited TO childish desires and
comprehension, the circus as Cardinal Rich,
ard maintains, has become the theatre or
childhood and thousands OF parents, never
seen at playhouses, go there as the guide OF
their little ones, and TO heartily anticipate IN
their enjoyment"

The Fair-Warning Against Tricks.

The people Of Columbia are making great
efforts to promote the success of the Agricult-
ural Fair. While we think people from the
country often make mistakes in going to the
expense Of max ing exhibits, yet there Is sell
dom a mistake in meeting a great gathering
of people.
The expense of making an exhibit is usually
considerable, and there are always plenty OF
other people who don't mind the expense OF
helping to make good show. 1t pays to go
to see the show. 1t pays TO have jolly good
time. 1t pays to get out from home occasion
ally.
When exhibitors take things to the show
they ought always represent them to be as
they are. For instance, II animals are exhib-
tied in class, all the animals of that class
should be of the same kind. II prize is Of
fered for the best pair Of turkeys it is is not
commendable in any one to shave off one
turkey gobblers beard, and then show him
with another gobbler, representing the beard.
less gobbler to be hen. It isn't exactly right
to fool the innocent show committee with
two gobblers instead Of gobbler and hen.
Even If a man could impose on the innocent
show committee couple of gobblers instead
of pair Of turkeys, complaint might be
made of the act of taking premium for
either the trick or the gobblers.
