A VICTORY FOR THE TURK.
Official Poppycock and Warships Did Not

A victory for the diplomacy OF the
Turk. Some time ago itiwas announc-
ed that this government would not

the subterfuge of including the
amount in the price of a warshlp to be
builtfor the Porte 1t was said that
it must he an open, above board trans

The money must be paid in cash, up
on the nail, TO the regular diplomatic
representive of Uncle sam at the
Turks court; otherwise the horrlol
Abdul would hear something drop.
Well, Abdul didn't pay openly IN cash
upon the nail, and nothing dropped
In h is own good time, and in his own
Oriental way, Abdul has provided Tor
the payment of the indemnity by sub
terfuge and; through an American
shipbuilder. What was the good OF
all of that official poppycock about
holding up the Turk at the muzzle OF
the Kentuckys guns? Nobody be
lieyed It: least of al the Turk himself?

had been killed by the natives, who had
made the missionary the subject OF a
cannibal feast. The Protestant mis-
sionary was found in a pitiful plight.
After the tnnibal feast the savage in
stinct of the natives had been aroused
to such pitch that they returned for
the Protestant missionary. They found
his house defended by twenty native
converts armed with rifles. Though
the natives did not dare to attack the
house they had prevented provisi rs
going in and the missionary was on the
verge of starvation. The Torch burned
the village after taking the Protest mt
missionary on board.

SENATOR CLAWS BILL.
The Georgian Introduces REM
edy for the Trusts.

Senat Clay OF Georgia has intro
duced bill in the senate which will
hardly command the support of Sena-
tor Hanna and the other republican
trust senators.
The bill proposes to admit free of
duty any article which will come in
competition with goods manufactured
by any trust. In other words Senator
Clay proposes to remove the tremen-
dous advantage which a protective
tariff gives to the trusts.
1t is the Bryan remedy for the trust
evil. 1t will be part of the democrat
ic policy in the present and in the
next congress.
1t is the only effective way of deal
ing with the trusts. Protection. Pres
ident Havemeyer, head of the creates
of all of the trusts--the sugar trust
said, is the mother of all trusts. By
barring ont or loading with heavy tar
ifs articles of import it enables the
trusts to control prices and do practi
cally as they please.

A COTTON CROP ESTIMATE.
1t Is About 100000 Bales Smaller Than
That Of Last Years

An estimate of the cotton crop by
the New York Commercial based upon
information received from managers
OF cotton oil mills in all sections OF the
cotton territory makes the number OF
bales for this year 9,237, 1913. The num-
Der of bales last year was 9,436,OOO
Assuming that the estimate is approx
imately correct this years crop is
NJ arly 10000 bales smaller than the
crop of last year.
The only states in which, according
to the estimate, there is larger crop
than last year are Texas and Arkan-
sas. In the former state the increase
is pretty near 5000 bales and in the
latter it is $4,000 bales. Geor9ia's CROP
is placed at 81, 900 bales less than that
of last year. The greatest shortage is
in Missis ippi, where the difference in
favor of last year is 100000 bales.
1t is probable that this estimate Is
about as correct as any estimate thai
has yet been made.

Singles Bees.

A small stingless be is found in the
state of Sinalo and in Topic The hon
ey of these bees is not great in qnanti-
ty, is dark colored, very liquid and is
said not to crystalize. Another pecul-
iarity of the honey is that it has de-
cidedly sour or tart taste, and on this
account it is much sought after as be-
ing a greater delicAcy than the sweet
honey of the tame bee. The reason
these bees are small producers is that,
as they are stingless, they are con-
stantly robbed by the large varieties,
the tame bee being one of the robbers.
