Was Not 2 Failure.

The Weekly Courier ot. last Satur- day, Tn commenting editorially on our late State Fair, says:
 The Pine Bluff State Fair was not q failure, as some would have you believe. It's financial success from a commercial standpoini1 cannot be measured from the same scale. No matter under what circumstances q visitor may enter our city, no mat ter what incentive may draw hun hither, he cannot resist favorable impressions formed by legitima se institutions and natural advantages. Our adequate transportation faciI- ties, the adaptabilty Of our city to it's varied industries, the progress iyeness and natural hospitality of aur people form lasting impressions
 visitors, even though the Fair ail in few particulars to meet the demands of their imaginations.
 Next year the association wilt have a years experience as a work ing capital, and it is obvious even so the most obtuse of our distapt rites that this will be to the man agers an advantage, as 1t has been the salvation of many enterprises in other localities.

that that is fact. Farmers can regulate the market by reducing their crops. That has been shown, we think, in the paat few years. The South can get about as much for 8, 000 900 bales Of cotton as for Il, GOO. 900, and it will cost a great deal less to pick it.
 One-fourth of the area devoted to cotton should, in our judgment, be devoted to other crops. But if this is net done, if the farmer is content to increase his area on a 5-cent basis, ii is essential that be should increase his acreage devoted to home supplies.
 This is toe only way we see now of reducing the cost of this crop.
 We do not believe that 1t is pos sible to get anything like general cooperation among the cotton planters, but if each planter will resolve for himself to d2 his part n the matter. and trust 10 make Up any loss by increased production of other crops, he will find at the end 0. the season that be is better of, whether his neighbor has followed his example or not.
 Let each man watch his own farm, study his own conditions, balance his own books, master his own difficulties. When farmers lave do1e this they vii be surprised to find that general prosperity Is noth- ing more than the prosperity Of the individual msmbers of the communi sv. The South cannot be prosper ous until the Southern farmers are prosperous. The South will be prosperous when each farmer, con sidering hls own problems, solves them in the light of his own exDec- fence broadened by Lis knowledge of the experience of his fellow farmers throughout the cotton beit.-Home and Farm.

The Price ef Cotton.

There;is nothing encouraging in the cotton markets. Prices are low, in fact, sshade lower than two weeks ago. Threats of war between England and France will disturb the prices somewhat further, A large number oi the'cotton mills in New England have closed, and altogether the outlook for any higher prices is rather discouraging.
 We would like to have the farmers of the South take these facts home with them. Whether or not there is oyersupply, the markets indicate

politics. From this proposition 1t fol
lows that evil methods of procedure II
party life imply bad character in par
tiSans.
Why should a man hate his political
opponents and aSSail them In base
personal way? If we seek every pos
sible cause which can explain such con-
duct we shall find that each one OF
these causes must necessarily have fol
its foundation a contemplate soul.
We may think first of intolerance
We will not allow that our opponent
can have a different opinion from ours
If he contends against 1t it must be
done in bad faith, for, like every sensi-
BILE and honest man, he certainly must
perceive that our view is the only cor
rect one! Intolerance in this case is
the result of artless dogmatism, but
this always proves incapacity for OBJ
jective thought, and thus mental in
feriority.
Another cause might be that one i'm
pute dishonest motives to our antago-
mist. This, too, no decent politician
no decent man will do. To suspect an
other of double dealing we must be
capable of it ourselves. Whoever is
sure of the purity of his own Intentions
will not easily, not without trebly sure
proofs, suspect fellow man, even
though he is an antagonist of dis
Patriotism is as universal, as natural
a feeling as love for our own parents
or children. Its absence is morbid, a
perversion of feeling. But as soon as
we concede that our opponent loves his
country as well as we do, we must also
admit that he plans and. recommends
his political belief because he is con-
vinced that it will best promote the
welfare of the nation.
This conviction may be erroneous-it
is the business of party strife to en-
tighten the people as well as the ruler
but it has a claim to respect because
the motives from which it springs have
this claim. What impulse save the de-
sire to serve his people and his govern
ment would induce any one to go upon
the stage of public life in Germany? In
countries actually ruled by parliaments
one may hope to find the way from
parliament to a ministerial palace.
The San Francisco call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1895-1913, 1898-11-13

Therefore, among those nations, poll
ticianS under certain circumstances
might, without offense, be expected to
pursue their political career, not solely
from patriotism, but also or even ex-
clusively from personal ambition.
In Germany parliament is not the
stepping stone to ministerial positions.
Or, to be exact, at the utmost 1t is only
for single party, the conservative.
In all other parties place hunting is
excluded because it must always be
futile. In Germany there is no sort of
advantage connected with the profess
sion Of politician who does not stand
by the government through thick and
thin. Why should man subject him
self to the toll and annoyance of this
career except from unselfish zeal for
the common good?
So in Germany distrust of the mo-
tives of a political opponent is less in
telligible than elsewhere unless he is
himself pursuing in politics an uncon-
fessed selfish subordinate purpose
either for himself or the caste to which
he belongs.
A third cause, personal enmity to the
opponent, would be especially base. 1t
would flatter an aversion, perhaps even
active hatred, whether of a part of the
nation or of high positions against GER
tain men or classes. In this case hos
tile assaults upon opponents would be
nothing but form of tale bearing, spy
ing. currying favor by means of de-
mandatory tales, and the word which
alone could fifty designate the man ca
pable of such acts would better remain
unwritten here.
Thus personal enmity toward the po-
litical opponent always proves either
intolerance from dogmatism or inca
pacity to impute proper motives to him,
or criminal speeulations upon certain
convictionc of influential circlac which
implies narrownesS of mind or baseness
of character or both at once.
A broad candid intellect always dis
trusts it's own discernment sufficiently
to admit the possibility of a mistake,
and therefore allows every divergent
standpoint a certain degree of theoret-
ical appreciation. A lofty nature is
always ready to believe every man hon
orable until there are proofs of the con-
trary

Respect Political Op
Nations Public Life.

The English, who were the first peo-
pie in Europe to have a political party
life in the modern meaning of the
words, used to say, Even in attacking
political antagonist one must treat
him so that one can dine at the same
table with him on the same day with
out embarrassment" And it is evident
that English professional politicians
carefully adhere to this rule.
The degree of respect which political
opponents pay one another is the best
standard of the state of health Of any
nations public life. We should be
warned against the deceptive inference
that politics ruins character" as If the
contagion Of the personal relations be-
tween the contending parties resulted
in poisoning public life. Exactly the
reverse is the true case. 1t is from the
existing unhealthfulness of public life
that the evil forms of the relations of
political parties to one another develop.
A deeply dissatisfied nation which is
not aware of the real sources of it's
economical or critical discomfort has a
natural inclination to listen to swim
dlers and quacks who offer it obvious,
easily understood though childishly in
correct explanations Of it's condition
and suggest pleasant remedies, or
which fiatter it's inclinations and weak
nesses.
nation that finds itself in this
psychical condition brings to the sur
face a political personnel which owes
its rise to the most corrupt methods
to unscrupulousness, charlatanism, de-
ception of the people, counting popular
favor, untruthfulness and actual or
virtual immortality. But this personnel
of course, uses in the party press and
in Parliament the same means by
which it has succeeded in popular meet
ings and district associations. Cleon
cannot speak or act except as Cleon.
whether he is in the market place in
the midst of the shouting mob or in the

adopted sons, set sail for America to

River in her splendid yacht Duen to
Montreal, Canada, some months ago, she
visited many of the Thousand Islands en-
route holding meetings and being en-

From Canada she went to Niagara
Falls, where her two younger sons en-

and a stay of ten days at Buffalo pre-
ceded her arrival in Cleveland. The
Duen, anchored just inside the break

a crew of seven men and a sturdy old
German captain, secured expressly to
conduct the vessel through the great

SchimmeIman arrived by train from
Buffalo Friday morning and went at
once on board her ship. 1 was rowed
out a few hours later, and was cordially
