the responsibility for effective service;

placed Ia such positions the service f.
rendered worthless. and. on the other
hand unless the compensation IS com
mensurate with the duties, the best men
cannot be long retained.
Congress has never been very liberal
with the Life-Saying Service. This may
be accounted for b. the fact that 90 large

Ave Edna: Ts salutsmusi

| We get curious and interesting glimpse
OF New York life ard New York eiyiiiza-
tion from The fFaatiesIIy published Incl
dents attending the return to that CITY,
Sunday. Of Miss Edna May This young
woman Is a third-rate Tight opera per-
former, who made very slight impress
sion upon the American public, some
years ago. as the Salvation Army girl in
"The Belle OF New Yerk." We say ''thira
rate" becausc she can neither act nor
sing in an attractive way, and depen =
almost wholly upon a pretty face and a
certain trick OF manner for her eminence.
She Is the daughter OF very industrious
and worthy letter carrier in Syracuse, y.
y, and she deserves the credit O. having
risen from such an environment TO become
one OF the most courted and admired Of
actresses. At young ard tender age she
married bicycle professional OF no great
eminence in his profession, and so far as
we know she is stin Mrs. Titus. She Is
quite pretty, and that is about ali one can
say concerning her, except that she has
been shrewd and sensible enough 70 save
her money. corral the diamonds showered
upon her by the Willie boys Of London.
and, generally, prepare for that rainy day
which, sooner or later. oyertakes them all.
That she IS a most respectable and de-
serving young woman we have not the
slightest doubt. or the very least OF her
honors, We would not, for all the wealth
Of Golconda, rob her. She has our utmost
sympathy. What impresses US. however.
is the fact that the New York newspapers
those great moral and intellectual en-
gines which challenge the envious admira-
ton Of the rural press--devote columns Of
rapturous narrative 10 the landing of Miss
Edna May; dwell upon her costumes, her
poodle, her appearance: give descriptive
lists OF the New York Johnnies who met
her at the pier. and drench US with har-
rowing particulars Of the late Jiggins-or
whatever his absurd name may be-who Is
supposed to have thrown his sausage busi-
ness to the winds and scalded and scraped
his own devoted person for love Of her.
Real actresses, like MaUde Adams, Minnie
Maddern F1ske. Julia Marlowe Olga Meth
ersole, Leslie Carter. and so on, come and
20 without lashing the great metropolitan
dailies into unmanageable frenzy. The
arrival from Europe of cultivated, beau
tiful, and well-bred artist is chronicled In
an occult paragraph. Even May Irwin,
the delight and comfort of her generation,
can come and go in peace. But Edna May
sets the whole ecstatle chorus a-barking
furiously, and cheap dudes and cheaper
reporters pool their bargain-counter ha.
sannahs in great storm of jubilation.
What We should like TO know is whether
such a thing could happen in any Amer
lean city save New York.

That Round Bale Trust.

For many years past the cotton planters
o. the South have been paying tribute to
two of the very greediest monopolies in
the country-the compress and the bag
ging trusts. Owing to extertionate
charges imposed By these frugal institu-
tions, the producers have had to pay at
least 81 per bale on their marketed cotton
in excess of just and reasonable charges,
The combination was complete. 1t could
not be escaped from at any point. The
planters had to take the bagging and ties
at the monopoly's price, and they had TO
send their big plantation bales 10 the
compress trust. IN this way they contrib
uted each year from ss.eG0.eoo to sll.ooo, 90
TO these two concerns. and suffered a
corresponding loss themselves.
Now comes 10 their rescue the new in
vention. the round bale press. which, in
stead of being trust, is competitor, and
of which Mr.. s. Z. Watson, a merchant
ard planter of Watson, Tex, thus writes:
''The round bale press. ipstead oil being trust
IS Just the opposite. 1t is competitor OF the bag
glng trust and the compress trust They are all
fighting it, Tbs bagging trust has raised the Irlee
Of bagging and ties % cents per bale this year.
The farmers all favor tie rouna bale first, because
it viii them co cents per bale Of the compress
charges. and, seeond. IL VIII save them 81 bale
for bzsging and ties from the hagging trust"
Such, indeed, seems to be the case. The
round bale press is lighting these trusts.
and Is, therefore, .he target for their
abuse aad vilification. The latter scent
the loss OF these annual millions. which
viii now go TO the cotton planter and
swell the treasury Of agriculture. Col.
Roosevelt and campaign orators OF his
class made much Of the round bale trust"
during the period OF their greatest actiy-
ity, and endeavored 10 besmirch the char
acter OF Hon. James X. Jones. Of Arkan-
sas, by showing that he was at the head
OF one OF the most heartless and grinding
monopollez In the living world. The facts
repudiate these ridiculous propositions.
The round bale company is as yet in ifs
infancy. At this moment. the two monop-
olles We have mentioned control the field.
No cotton planter. or factor, or shipping
merchant Is under the smallest obligation

Natterson as a Prophet.

The Boston Advertiser is so hypercritical
Is 10 find fault with Col. Watterson' $
epigrams because they sometimes take the
shape of prophecies which time and events
obsunately decline 10 fulhll. As a case I'm
point the Advertiser recalls that Col
Watterson said early IN 1892 that for the
Democrats to nominate Cleveland for a
third time would be ito go through a
slaughter-hOuse to an open grave" The
Advertiser undertakes 10 discredit that
prophecy with the assertion that "the
Democrats did nominate Cleveland for a
third time. and instead Of fulalunr
Henry's dismal prediction, they achieved
the most sweeping victory that the marty
has won since the editor ot the Courier
Journal first wore trousers"
So far as relates 10 the campaign Of 1892
the Advertiser Is true 20 history. 1t was
a famous victory. And yet il was the
precursor II not the cause Of a long suc-
etssion OF disastrous defeats. The Repub-
hean party was IN the "slaughter-bouse"

reasonable time in which 10 work itSe,e

among latter-day seers as a fair reUerd
for that far-reaching glance into the IN.
