effect of this law will be watched with

Value of Rice.

Japan, the Philippine islands, the
Sunua islands and Indo-China are
probably the regions in which the
great bulk of the entire population
live mainly on rice. In India and
China there are certain regions, and
these in many cases the most popu-
lous, where rice is likewise the main
stay of the inhabitants. Still it is es-
timated that, if we take British India
as "a whole only about one-third OF
the population is rice-eating, and,
side of the regions suitable for rice
cultivation, it may safely be inferred
that much smaller proportion of the
inhabitants off these states live on rice.
Probably 75,OO0OO0 is as much as can
be allowed to the rice-eating popula-
ton of the entire peninsula, including
lower Burmah. In China, again, rice
is the great food crop only in the
south and east, and probably 100000
900 (three-ffths of an assumed popu-
lation of 43O,OOv,OOO) will be much
more than enough to allow for the
rice-eating people of that country;
and allowing 100000 for the rice
eating populations of Japan, Tndo-
China, the Eastern Archipelago and
Africa, we get only 43O,OOOOOO as the
total population depending chiefly up
on this grain American Grocer.

Judge Taliaferro's Statement.
Gloucester. Va. November 8, 1897.
To the Editor Of the Dispatch:
have been so closely confined for the
past few days by the Illness Of my
father that so far l have been unable to
express my position on the judgeship as
you request.
/ am giving myself no trouble ABOUT
the matter the question was left to
primary election. The primary was held
on November Cd, the day OF the general
election. and resulted in my favor. re-
ceiving a majority of the votes cast. 1
shall therefore go before the Democratic
caucus Of the General Assembly with the
endorsement Of the primary. or course,
Mr.. Catlett may refuse 10 abide by the
result OF the primary and go before the
caucus on his own merits, but neither
Mr.. Catlett, the County Committee, nor
any other power on earth can now
change the result OF the primary. me
primary is an accomplished fact, what
ever was the result.
Mr.. Catlett's contention that otner
than Democratic voters voted in the pri-
mary has nothing to do with the matter.
While / most positively state tnat L
know OF not a single instance where
man voted for me who did not vote the
straight Democratic ticket In the general
election, / know OF many who came up
to vote for me, but were not allowed 10
do so because they voted the Republican
ticket. Whenever there was any DOUBT
as to a voters politics he was always
asked how he had voted in the general
election, and 1t was only on his positive
statement that he had voted the Demo-
cratic ticket that he was allowed to vote
for me. and this was in strict accordance
with my understanding with the county
Committee. ratified and positively APP
proyed by Mr. Catlett 1 myself openly
and repeatedly stated that l wanted none
but Democratic voters to vote for me-
may also say that among Mr.. Catletts
warmest supporters were many who mad

Mr.. Catlett makes the following state
ment:
Gloucester Courthouse. Va,
November 9, 1897.
To the Editor Of the Dispatch:
[ submitted my claims for the judge
ship to the Democrats Of Gloucester ac-
cording to the plan adopted by the Demo
cratic County Committee, and never IN
any manner undertook to say who were
entitled to vote in the primary and VINO
not. My understanding was that the
County Committee would settle all sucn
questions. / certainly never expected
lifelong Republicans, either white OF
black, to determine the result OF the
Democratic primary.
