A BILL has been introduced in the
House amending the revenue law so as to
exempt written instruments, bills of ex-
change, drafts, prommissory notes, etc.,
from stamp tax unless the amount ex-
ceeds $500. This is a step in the right di-
rection. Now that the revenue is in ex-
cess of expenditures to the extent of $780,
100000 or more, the irritating features of
the internal revenue law embraced in the
stamp tax should be removed as rapidly
as judicious reduction will permit. Pres
ident Mckinley is urging this step, and
before Congress adjourns will doubtless
have convinced that body of his way OF
thinking.

IT is now proposed by some of the
Western boomers for Bryan to nominate
Ex-Governor Pattison of Pennsylvania
as the Democratic candidate for Vice
President. That would be a kangaroo
ticket with its chief strength in its hind
legs. If the Democratic national conven-
ton seriously thinks of making battle
for the election of its national ticket, it
must put its strangest man to the front,
and certainly one of the strong Demo-
Gratis of the nation is Ex-Governor Patti
son. With him as a candidate for Presi-
dent there would be, assurance against
revolutionary agrarianism, but his name
as second on the ticket would add no
substantial strength to a Presidential
candidate who does not command the
confidence of the great industrial and
business interests OF the country. -PhiLa.

WHEN the Hon. Joseph Weldon Bailey,
the former leader Of the democracy, first
arrived in Congress he sisted upon the
sergeant-at-arms deducting from his sal
ary for those upon which he was absent.
Now, this Democratic statesman who
makes speciality of the Constitution and
glories in being better than his colleagues
can go off on campaigning tour for a
seat in the Senate and draw his Congress
sioual salary without doing his con-
science the least bit OF VIOLENCE. The
Hon. Joseph Weldon Bailey, as a reform
er, is sadly lacking in staying powers.

DURING the war with Spain, for which
our preparations were hurriedly made,
the Democrats complained that our trans-
port service was inferior, and their sym
pathy for the soldiers was permitted to
work over time. But few days ago a
Democratic Member of Congress from
New York took the floor to complain
that extravaganza was being practiced in
the construction and equipment of our
army transports. The Democratic don
key doesn't stay hitched to one side of a
question any great length of time.

"SINcE studying this sub;ectI am con-
WINGED that the office of President is not
such very difficult one to ill. his duties
beng mainly to execute the laws OF Con-
gress." This naive remark is atti ibuted
to Admiral Dewey by one of the yellow
papers. "All have to do" said a new
conner to the United States, writing ofthe
good fortune he had in securing an easy
job, ais to carry fifteen or twenty bricks
at time up three or four stories on a
ladder, and the man above does all the
work"

Crops.

During our recent trip we noticed
that in but few sections will anything
like full crop Of farm lr ducts
be made. The drought, hot weather,
wird and hail storms have played
havoc with the farming interest
Furtunately the Fork harvested e
large crop Of grain. The cotton and
corn crops are about two-thirds
short. The same deplorable con-
dition of affairs exists in almost
every other sections of the county
aud the farmers are blue over the
situation.
