The Tax on Cotton.

Referring to the communication from Capt J Cowan, published in the
Herald today, we would say that we have not arraigned the democracy of sena
tors Bacon, McIaurin and others for voting fra duty on cotton If any such in
ference was drawn from the article crtcizdit was not warrantedas We had ex
presly stated previously that their vote ws entirely consistent with the 1896
declaration of democratic faith. They made this defense ii the senate, and it
was practically admitted by the democrats who opposed the duty; though the
admissions were accompanied by POPULATIONS and rproaches that have been
very generally echoed by the press of the country.
The only other issue that we understand exists between the Heralds article
and Capt Cowan- and our other correspondent, M" who is also on of Nicks-
burgs leading and most experienced cotton dealers is as to the effect of com.
pensatory duties. Limited strictly to our language and assertion, these gentle
men are right theoretically, and the Herald entirely wrong. Their contentioni is
mathematcaly exact But the proposition Isl complex n subject to contin-
gencies and practices that remove itf far beyond the operations of rules n demon
STATIONS of mathematics. Without pursuing the question further at present we
will simply quote from a speech of Senator Berry, IN reply to the position taken
by Senators Bacon and McIaurn:
MI. President, had hoped that the lesson given by the republicans yeNer-
day evening, when they opposed an additional duty of 10 per cent on cotton
goods to compensate for the 20 per cent duty on raw cotton, would prove a warn
ing to my countymen of the south not to engage in this game of grab and steal
as the senator from South Carolina tMr. Tilman) calls it In the first place Mr.
President even if it were honest % do that tell our friends from the south now
that they can not compete with Iowa and New England in that kind of a game.
The people of New England have been playing this game for a great many years
and if the senators who come here from the south think or hope or expect that
they can play even with these experts, tell them they will find themselves mis-
taken -Vicksburg Herald, June %

An Able Speech.

The Memphis Commercial Appeal has this to say of Gen CatchinSs speech
delivered before the Mississippi River Commission a few days since;
The other noteworthy speech wa made by Congressman Catchings of Mis-
sxippi. Nj. Catchings from his long service and intimate relations with the
levee system, is regarded, and justly 70 as n eminent authority on the subject
and it was gratifying to see him manifest SC liberal a spirit To prevent the use
less expenditure of government funds and to the end that n 10 mistakes might be
made. he insisted that the commission should re- examine and fully report to con
grs upon the practcabifty of system of levees to protect all the lowhnds
from Cape Grardeau to the gulf; as to the ACCESSIBILITY feasibility and cost of
the establishment Of a outlet system; of using the waste water system, the prac-
tcabity and cost of securing basins in the aluvial lands into which, under the
waste water system, the surplus water could be impounded, and as to the effect
of the levees in raising or lowering the bed of the river He stated that he had
never advocated the apporhonment o. the funds for any particular section of the
river. for he believed that the object which he had always had in view, the
ultimate and absolute governmental control and the maintenance of the entire
levee system, could be best secured by united action among the representative,
Of the valley in securing as large appropriations as possible for the lower rivers
and then leaving it to the commission, with the information secured from the
various boards and Others concerned, to distribute the appropriations in such a
manner a to best subserve the general purpose for which congress acted, The
Commercial Appeal at the hazard of being misunderstood and for the purpose of
giving all sides a hearing has from time to time as The occasion presented Itself
advocated precisely the anne thing When is confessed, as it has been confess
ed, that the lewe system is too big an undertaking for local effort and that only
by Matchmaking it ca the problem be ineligenty solved, It's the part of wis
dom to provoke the government with all necessary data and to secure harmony
among those interested in the section affected. As Mr.. Catchings says, all the
theories and plans should be investigated, and from the number the very best
n or mores selected"

Used Their Figures.

Replying to a bad tempered criticism of Col, Dick Abbys estimate by a
contemporary, the Vicksburg Herald says:
THE proof Of the deficit in the state treasury has led on of our esteemed
contemporaries to vent a sneer at the expense of the Hon Richard /. Abby Mr.
Abbys mistake consisted in taking the figures furnished by the state officials OF
receipts and disbursements Of the preceding year fr a basis of calculation of
those of the succeeding. This the treasurer said would not do And yet W are
told that this was the identical process adopted by the treasurer ud auditor
which led M TO the discovery of the deficit in store, and the call session The
fact is or seems the figures given out by, or for these officials are a little scat
terng. On June ID, for instance, it was published in the jackson press dis
patches that owing to the large poll collections it is most probable that the
treasury will have enough money to honor all Warrants on account of the June
school distribution" This WI gratifying, although it rather loosely skipped
over the important fact that more money had been paid ont for the call session
than the increase in poll collections amounted to- Bnt before the announcement
of no deficit IN account of the June distribution had been well dgcstca, o n June
22nd the news was dispatched abroad that the treasury was empty and up
wards of $50 900 yet due On the June distribution of the school fund When the
state bookkeepcrs thus wobbe away from the bulls eye of accuracy, how can
others be correct as to the treasury condition.

sentation of a beautiful gavel trimmed in silver the wood which vas taken from
the heroic Int lfated stame Star of the West" The present came from Mrs.
A. McC. Kimbrough, Of Greenwood, and Hon. Jas X. Fardaman made as her
representative, the presentation speech. His speech IA a touching and eloquent
"reminiscences of the Star of the west" the important part this steamer played in
the late war and how important she was to the Confederacy. Mr. Nardaman Is
one of the most polished speakers in the state as well as in the front ranks of our
statesmen. Mrs Kimbrough could have selected no ADLER spokesman to speak in
her behalf to the editors of Mississippi < enterNle Jefersoninn
For the compliment which our good friend Quin has seen fit to pay our efi

annexing Hawaii to the United States, it will afford another opportunity to test

HARPER WAS WILD.
His Poor Control Made Possible All Of
the Stars Four Runs...MaIarkey
Pitched Well.

The Miners could get only four single
hits off Malarkey Saturday, and there
by hangs the reason for the victory of
the Stars, who, while they hit Harper
for only eight singles, made their four
runs on three bases on a wild pitch.
OF the four hits off Malarkey three
were made in the seventh inning, and
these with a base on a throw from the
outfield gave to the Miners their cnly
two runs, one of which was earned.
Excepting the seventh inning only five
Miners reached first base during the
whole game.
OF the eight hits off Harper only five
had been made up to the ninth inning
and of these five no two developed in
any one inning, but bases on balls, one
wild pitch, stolen bases and the semi
occasional hits that followed, gave the
Stars all their four runs. Jack O'Brien
in a Syracuse uniform, was seen in
Scranton for the first time. He received
a warm hand when he appeared at bat.
He and Lezotte made six of the Stars
eight hits,
