Mrs. Fuller and Mrs. Deming are neigh
bors and visit each other quite frequently,
and Mrs. Fuller has noticed with surprise
when he comes home and finds no supper
ready, says the Chicago Times-Herald.
She asked Mrs. d. about IL and was told
it was as easy as rolling off a log.
You have only TO use a little tact she
said. why, any man can be managed by
a tactful wife"
just then Deming came in looking rather
tired and cross. but his wife took his hat
whispered something in his ear, and asked
him if he was very hungry.
He said he didn't mind waiting, and at
her suggestion he took his paper and went
into the other room.
"Therer' whispered Mrs. D. to her
neighbor. didn't I tell you it only re-
quired a little tact and she went about
getting supper while Mrs. Fuller went
home to try how tact would work on her
husband.
She found him with thunder-cloud
brow, and at once began the new treat
ment

paper while I hurry up the supper"

II was over to Deming's few minutes
and Mr.. Deming came home while l was
there and he wasn't a bit cross, and her
supper is late too.
"Of course it is. Gossiping round and
hindering each other, / wonder you ever
get anything done"
Mrs Fuller had tried tact, but it didn't
seem TO work. Her feelings were hurt and
her temper was rising. She concluded to
take heroic measures ana see what would
happen. She took off the white apron she
had pinned on and turned as only a worm
can.

THE ALLIES SUCCESSFUL.

The crisis in the Chinese situation has

have been rescued and are now safe with

which promised to be so vigorous in the
beginning of the movement on Pekin
amounted to practically nothing as the
allied forces approached the walls of the
capital
The truth doubtless is the Chinese found
that resistance would be useless, and so
they retired and permitted the allies 10
accomplish the purpose of their march to
Pekin. And IL seems that the Empress
Dowager and her ministers fed on the ap-
proach of the allies They must have
thought their lives were in danger or that
they would be taken prisoners
Now that the ministers have been res
cued will the allies withdraw at once from
Pekin? That is question that cannot
be answered at this time. 1t is probable
that the United States will withdraw their
forces. They have no policy in respect to
China that makes it necessary that an
armed force of Americans shall occupy
the capital of that empire. 1t is probable
that they will maintain a force at Tien
Tsin until they come TO some understand
ing with the Chinese government respect
ing the matter OF indemnity. II would be
to their interests, however. to deal as le-
nit nit
pire is practically helpless. 1t is the sub
ject of both pity and contempt. Still, it
has an immense trade and the United
States want big share of it. 1t is prob
able that China will turn to them for as
sistance. They are under no particular
obligations to lend her a helping hand
since she failed to accept the terms upon
which they agreed to intervene with the
other Powers in her behalf.
1t is certain that the influence of the
United States will be against the dis
membering of the empire or any further
.cession of territory 10 European Powers
1t is the understanding that Great Brit
ain and Japan will use their influence in
the same direction But there are no
reasons for thinking that the United
States will permit themselves to become
entangled with the European Powers over
the settlement of the troubles in China
They have accomplished their object in
sendirg an army to China, and the peo-
pie will approve their retiring from that
country as soon as they can do so hon
orably and without sacrificing any of their
interests.

COTTON GROWERS TO ORGANIZE.

Mr.. Harvie. Jordan, president of the
Georgia Cotton Growers Protective Asso-
citation, has issued a circular to the cotton
growers of the state, urging them to meet
at the county seats of their respective
counties on the first Tuesday in Septem-
Der for the purpose of organizing and be-
coming members of the association. in
counties in which there is as yet no Or
ganization, and for the purpose of organ
izing sub-organizations in those counties
in which organizations have been perfect
ed.
The cotton growers all over the cotton
belt are organizing for the purpose of
protecting their interests. The organiza-
ton, in order to be effective, however,
ought 10 be general and thorough. The
object aimed at cannot be accomplished If
only few of the cotton growers in each
county join the association. All of the
growers in all of the counties should be
in it.
The indications for ten-cent cotton are
very good. 1t is well known to all who
have any acquaintance with the cotton bus
bare. The spinners must look to the new
crop for their supplies. Heretofore they
have been able to get about all they want
ed at their own price. The growers were
so eager to sell as fast as they gathered
their cotton that, in the early part of the
season. the market was overstocked and
prices ruled below the actual value of the
t.
association TO change all of this. The
aim is to hold cotton back and market il
only as the spinners seem to demand it, In
this way il is expected that a fair price
will be obtained for it,
The crop will not be a large one. II Is
expected to be about an average one
The most reliable authorities do not place
it above 900 bales. crop of that
size, owing to the baroness Of the market
at the beginning of the season, ought to
command fully ten cents pound
The bears are trying to make il appear
that, owing 10 the falling off in the de-
mand for cotton goods by China. spinners
will not be so anxious for cotton as to
take IL upon the terms of the growers The
trouble in China is not going to last very
long. II the bears are depending upon it
to knock down the price of cotton they
are going to be disappointed 1t is true
the demand for cotton goods from China
is light. and mills that supply that trade
are storing their output, but unless all
signs fail they will not have to keep It
stored very long. AS soon as the minis
ters are rescued China will be ready for
business again. The thing for the grow
ers to do is to get together in the protee-
tive association. That organization can
do them no harm and may do them a
great deal of good

suouIp THE GRAND JURY GO.

Judge F. A Breezy, of the Criminal
Court Of Philadelphia, is on OF those
who thinks the time has come for seri-
ors;y considering the question whe,he
the grand jury hasn't outlived its use
fulness. He has been judge of crimi-
nal court for many years, and stands
high as a lawyer and citizen. He says
that he has been a close observer of the
workings of the grand jury system, and
while he is not prepared to say that he
would abolish the anci n institution if he
had the power. he is willing 10 say that
he would give the matter serious consid-
grafton.
IN dismissins the grand jury for the
AuguSt term he took occasion to express
the foregoing opinion lie locks upon the
grand jury as cumbers2 ne and expensive,
and as serving no good purpose. 1t sim
ply reviews the finding of the magistrates.
IL would be better. in his opinion. for the
prosecuting officer to present indictments
to the courts on the findings Of the mag
istrates. and let the petit jury decide for
or against the accused The grand jury
simply gives the accused another chance.
There is of course, a good deal of truth
in what Judge Breezy says. but it win
be long Wilde before the grand jury is
abolished. If an effort were TO be made
to abolish it objections would come thick
and fast. The people might, in the course
of time be led to believe that it's use
fulness was not equal to its expense, but
IL would take Verv strong arguments to
make tn m accept that belief.
One reason for taking this view is that
Judge Bregys remarks do not appear to
have excited much comment. Even the
Philadelphia papers have not as yet taken
much notice of them. 1t can be safely
stated that If Judge Breezy meant to raise
a sensa ,ional question that would at once
become the subject Of a great discus
sion, he made a mistake.

The Pensacola Press has the following
which purports 20 be a summary of what
Western Florida might give TO Alabama
in the way of additional territory ia. the
event OF a division of Florida which has
been threatened since the capital removal
