CURRENT TOPICS.

The RaielSn PoSt says that 1t HIS Ae-
ceived the following from a citizen O.
Richmond:
81 want TO congratulate you on your
editorial Of yesterday morning, in COM
menting on the remarks made by MI.
Hoke Smith al the Macon convention.
The close of your editorial, in which you
advocate the farmers, mill men, bankers
and transportation companies in the
South to stand Notwithstanding that
their interests are identical-is a true and
correct statement. Anything which IN
jures one Of these interests will natu-
rally affect the other three, and II We
people in the South would more lully
realize this fact and all pull together
for each others welfare and the upll,t-
ing and upbulding Of the South, it would
be much better for us ALL
That shows that at all events there is
one sensible man in Richmond.
The wholesale grocers OF Missouri Kan
sas and Oklahoma held a meeting in kan
taking action to induce the tobacco
trust to return to q practice that mas
often been denounced as great evil.
The grocers who called the meeting sad
concerning its object:
1--WE are not fighting the tooacco trust
or combine as it is sometimes called we
want to secure concession from the men
who control the output of plug tobacco.
II. no
which we should sell tobacco to the re-
tailers, but they flave changed the T'oilcy
and left the prices to be determined ps
each dealer, The competition thus created
has caused MANY Of us to sell tobacco at
less than cost, and we want the trust 70
resume it's policy Of specifying a cer,ai'.
price at which we shall sell. Unrestricted
competition is the ruination OF business.
In the over-anXiety TO secure BUSINESS
dealers take a staple article as an aa-
yertising medium and the result IS a
great sacrifice OF profits
Isn't that Interesting? How often, Oh,
how often. have the trusts been denounced
for fixing the selling price OF ITS product
and how often, oh how often. nave the
trusts replied that cut-throat competition
was the DEATH and not the life, ii trade,
and was bound, in the long run, TO prlhs
disaster. Now the dealers are singing the
some tune and are complaining G. inc
tobacco trust for permitting them to cut
prices. BY the way, the fixing cf prices
in the tobacco trade did not originate with
the tobacco trust. Long before the trust
was organized manufacturers who had
srecial brands set a selling price on
their wares and compelled dealers to
maintain them. The rebate system was
in vogue in the tobacco centres before the
tobacco trust was dreamed Of.

what We call party organizat ion. IN glni-s
cation is necessary to the success Of any
party. and there is nothing wrong per Sc
IN. such ganization. When a political
party starts out for contest it is neces-z
sary and 1t is right for the party to or
GAME It's forces and to conduct its cam
paign with method But there can be no
defense oforganizat ton for corruption. and
that is what sCgoker.s organization means
and what lPlattss organization means. The
party that succeeds in controlling the Of
fices oflSew York city has. a vast sum Of
money. to expend and 2 vast amount OF
Epatrona g. to .bastow. and the party does
not fAil to use such patronage to its adj
YaEta ge.It appoints thousands of men to
Office, and every man thus appointed be-
comes in sense. an employe of the party
and there, and makes friends wherever
such gifts are bestowed. It goes farther
than this. When Mr. Croker was at the
Hot Springs of Virginia several years ago,
he stated, and it was SO printed in the
newspapers, that Tammany was in the
thousand dollars a year in charity It's
agents were sent out into the poor dis
tricts, and gifts were freely bestowed
upon the needy, and doubtless in many
instances upon those who We're not needy.
Every such gift naturally makes q friend.
and thousands Of such gifts make thou
sands Of friends, and SO by and by when
election day comes around the employees
and the beneficiaries generally Of the CT
ganization go out and vote to keep the or
ganization in power. not with any idea
whatever to the general welfare, but with
a view TO their own personal interests.
In view of these facts it is easy to see
why it is difficult, not tc say practically
impossible. to overthrow such an organi-
cation as Tammany.
1t is terrible state of affairs. 1t is the
municipal problem of the age. What IS
true Of New York is true in a degree, OF
Chicago, Philadelphia, and other large
cities where there is an immense patron-
age to bestow, and yet. strangely enough,
with these facts before them. there are
many who contend that there should be III
the alton, as we'll as in the municipalities,
public ownership and operation OF
all public utilities. Once inaugurate the
Tammany system in the National Govern
ment and give the Government control Of
the transportation lines, the telegraph lines
and the trusts of the country. and we
shall have the same system Of corruption
in the nation that we now see III the city
of New York. and it will be just as diff
cult to Gust the party in power, which
controls the patronage, as it is. to Dust
Tammany.
