Operations of the DingIey Bill.
From Springfield (Mass) Republican Qnd.

The Dingley press is very loud In attrib-
uting the cotton manufacturing and wage
cutting depression wholly to natural econ
omic causes All, yes; but how can a
tariff for protection and prosperity permit
such courses to continue on their evil
course? Why doesn't it arrest them and
lock them up? Are the reported wage
advances in the Rhode Island worsted mills
due to natural economic causes?" Of
course not; they are due to the tariff which
has called a halt on these causes and cast
them into the chains of a customs rate per
cent. But it has admittedly failed to reach
natural economic" causes in the other
case. 1t is admittedly, therefore, par
tial failure.

It is to be hoped the gentlemen who will
meet in Atlanta to-day in convention 10
discuss the cotton problem will not waste
their time In denouncing trading in flu
lures and canvassing plans to form big
trust of the farmers, to the end of con
trolling the market" Such schemes are
not only visionary, but have been proven
so time and time again. The only way for
the planters to control the market is for
them to produce only as much cotton as
the world wants. The thing to be Impress
ed upon them, therefore, is the desirable
ity of giving less attention to cotton and
more to food crops and other money crops.
The production cannot be curtailed by a
resolution.

Some of the New York papers, we OBJ
serve, are calling for legislation to prohibit
a repetition of the Objectionable features
which characterized the recent six-days'
bicycle race in that city. The Tribune says
that the brutality Of the contest moved
''intelligent people to intense indignation
and disgust" Yet, a few weeks ago, when
the Georgia legislature passed a bill calcu-
lated to remove Objectionable features
from the game of foot ball, some of these
same New York papers poked fun at the
measure.

The Atlanta Cotton Convention.
From the New Orleans Picayune (Dem.

Another dangerous expedient to which
the promoters of the Atlanta convention
propose to resort is the organization of a
gigantic trust, for the purpose of holding
back sufficient of the crop to control
prices Such a scheme is utterly imprac-
ticable, and would be sure to bankrupt ev-
erybody who puts his money I'm it.
All such wild and visionary plans for ar
tifcially initiating prices may as well be
abandoned a [ once, because they merely
serve to distract attention from such wise
and practical measures as are certain to
afford relief. Crop diversihcation reas-
enable control of acreage, and the like,
viii meet the needs of the situation, and il
the proposed conventions devote their time
to furthering plans of that sort, they Will
prove advantageous; but If they devote
their energies to furthering the visionary
schemes they are likely TO do harm rather
than good.

The movement in favor Of publishing
the pension lists may be followed by a
proposition to publish a list Of the pri-
vate secretaries employed by congress-
men. A year or so ago the members Of
the House voted themselves the privi-
Iege of employing each a private secre-
tary at salary of $1,000 a year. 1t has
been alleged that many of the congress-
men put their share of the appropriation
in their pockets and make the clerks of
their committees do their work for moth
ing, while other congressman appoint their
children as their private secretaries, and
thus divert the money to their own uses
PETER, it is alleged, has many imitators
in the House. 1t will be remembered that
while PETER was a senator he employed
one of his children as his private secre-
tary and had another of them carried on
the pay rolls as a doorkeeper, thus
giving his family the benefit of three sal
aries. There are lots of ways of working
salary grabs in Washington.

A Home Insurance Company.

The matter of local fire insurance COM
pany is receiving the attention of quite
a number of well-known business men, A
prominent bank man is engaged in collect
ing data as to the best method of starting
such a company.
There will be no difficulty in obtaining
all the capital needed for the enterprise
if the right men take hold of the business.
That can be stated with a considerable de-
gree of authority. The consensus of opin-
ion of those who have discussed the mat
ter is that the company should start with
a capital of 100000, and that it should
be increased as the business of the com
pany increases. 1t Is also the opinion of
these gentlemen that the office expenses
of the company should be kept on a strict
ly economical basis.
1t is not proposed to make the COM
pany a place of refuge for men whose
chief recommendation Is their ability to
draw salaries. The kind of men wanted
can be had, and IL the company is started
they will be found There is nothing def
mite done yet towards creating the COM
pany, but it is pretty certain that some
thing will be done early in the new year.

The discussion of the matter of gravel
for use in hardening the roadways OF the
county and city has developed the fact
that deposits of material similar to Au-
gusta gravel exists in this county, as well
as in some of those nearby counties re-
ferred to in the Morning News yesterday.
Persons who have given the matter their
attention say there are deposits of hema-
tite clay and gravel in this county, near
Pooler and Bloomingdale. 1t is proposed
that the county commissioners shall visit
these deposits, or send experts to them,
for the purpose of ascertaining If they
will not furnish material suitable for road
building. 1t might pay the county to pur-
chase lands containing such deposits. as
that would solve the problem of building
good roads at a minimum cost. The con-
victs could do the mining and loading the
cars, and the only additional expense
would be the amount paid for the land
and the freight charges. The scheme is
certainly worthy of a thorough investi-
cation. Possibly thousands of dollars
could be saved to the taxpayers if it
could be arranged for the county to sup
ply its own gravel for road building.

PREVENT YELLOW FEVER.

Washington, d. c., Nov. 12.--Now
that the yellow fever epidemic in this
country has been brought practically
to an end by the appearance of cold
weather, the Marine Hospital service is
preparing to begin n post epidemic cru
sade for the purpose of preventing n re-
occurrence of the contagion next year.
The officials of the bureau will cooperate
with the health authorities of the va
rious States affected in conducting a
thorough disinfection Of the districts in
which the fever gained foot-hold. The
cleansing of all infected districts of all
the cities will be urged and each house
in which there was case of fever will
be thoroughly fumigated. 1t IS believ-
ed that by pursuing this course, the
country can be protected against another
yellow fever epidemic in 1898.

The robbers jumped aboard and took
the engine and express cars about two

robbers had evidently intended to stop
the ST. Louis limited night express,
which leaves Kansas City at later
hour, and were greatly surprised upon
discovering that the cars which they
had captured contained nothing of vail

the express messenger and went through

and disappeared in the darkness. After
delay of over an hour the train was
made up again and started on its jour-

soon after the affair, but there IS every
probability that the robbers were safely
in independence or Kansas City be-
