Antj-American Meat Bill.

Gcmperior William is said to be inclined to oppose the Agrarians in their efforts to pass meat importation bill that is direct ed almost wholly against the United States. The United States sold to Germany last year meats, lard, tallow, oleomargerine, and other similar goods to the value of s2O.0 ;o00 The object of the pending bill is to stop such inportations altogether to the end that the Agrarians may be able to get better prices for their own prod uets.
 The emperor does not, however, control the reichstag. He gets for that matter scant consideration in it at times. What he will be able o accomplish in the case of the meat bill is probematicaL The bill is complicated with the bill to increase the navy. The emperor wants a larger navy much more than he wants fair trade in meats. and if he can win the votes of the Agrarians for his navy enlargement bill he may let the meat bill go unopposed so far he himself is concerned.
 But congress is in session as we'll as the German parliament, and the former will probably outsit the latter. If the German legislators pass the meat bill, congress will be on hand to retaliate, /and under the principle of protection retaliation would be strictly in order. The principle of protec- tion is at stake, and the present congress can of course f5e depended. upon to stand up for it.
 It is not a matter that directly concerns this section of the country, but the voice of the wild and woody west will surely be heard, demanding the principle that was cast at the expense of all the rest of the country.

to try 1t. but France plainly has no ap- petite for it, and Russia is too full of commercial schemes of extension in Asia to meddle with South African affairs. If England will let her alone in Persia, she will doubtless let England alone in South Africa.
 President Kruger should be able to ascer- tain from the statement in the French senate of M. Delcasse. minister of foreign affairs, and from Lord Salisbury's reply to the American note, the situation in which he stands. He Is face to face with the British Lion. with no one to rely upon except his own brave, but untrained burghers. He should know how far they can carry him, and he should know when the time to make peace has fully arrived. His talk about dying to the last man is not the talk of statesmanship. If he sees his cause is hopeless, such talk is indeed criminal, for a statesman has no more right to sacrifice a life needlessly than an individual has. It isI murder in either case, and President Kruger is well up to the point where forlorn and desperate patriotism and blgotry become inexcusable.

WHERE raAyER NMyER CEASES

From the San Francisco Call.
 There is one spot in the United States where the voice of prayer is never still. For more than twenty months the "turret of prayer that surrounds the 'eTemple of Truth near Lisbon Falls Me, has never for an instant been without the sound of a human voice in supplication. It is the in tention of the people who attend to this remarkable form of worship that prayer in the turret shall never cease so long ss the building shall stand.
 The author of the custom is the Rev Frank w. Sanford. leader of the Holy Ghost and Us Society,"" The society affili- ates with no denomination and tries to con- form strictly to the teachings of tlse Bible Starting without a penny, it has in a few years achieved such success that 1t has built four buildings, the Temple of Truth" among them, which form a rectangis capa- ble of seating 20,0e9 persons.
 The ife here is quite in the spirit of re- hgious revival. Conversions are made and the sick healed by prayer every day in the year. The students of religion who make their home here take turns at sustaining the never-ending prayer in the great turret.
 On the roof of ahe temple are twelve other little turrets, in each of which, when the number of students becomes large enough to admit of it, prayer will be kept up continually.

THE ONLY DAILY NEWSPAPER IN ALABAMA
Tariff and the People.

The proposition to levy discriminating flax unon Porto Rico has aroused the anger of the country. The people do not want a taxing district They did not go to war with any such purpose in view. They want in the Porto Rico case the methods of the past and of the constitution. They see no reason why Porto Rico should be exception al for they are not wearing high-tariff spectaeles, or if they are they have not hgh-taniff eyes.
 The truth is, states and territories are all the forms of government that the constitu- tion and custom recognize. Every inch of occupied territory in this country should be included in a state or territory. There need be no haste in transforming a territory into a state There never has been. Arizona has been a territory about fifty years, and today is without good prospects of state- hood. A tutelage of fifty years in Porto Rico ought to satisfy any man who is not Chinese-w wall prop.
 A continuance of military rule in Porto Rico would be inexcusable, for there is no more sign of war or discontent there than there is in Ohio, and much less than there is in Kentucky. All of the people accept and welcome the American flag, and every one of them is ready to declare that he IS aA-American citizen. In return they should be given the advantages of American citi- zenship Every reason under the sun demands this. As an object lesson to Cuba it should be grar'ted. As matter of justice and constitutional law it should be granted. It is our plain duty.'
 The real question relates to the control of this government. Are the people and the constitution in control, or are the trusts and the Chinese-wan tariff-the principle of protecton-in control? This is the es- sence, the real pith and point of the Porto Rico question: The tariff and the people have grappled for the November bout

BLAtPnNMY. NOT RELIGION

From the Chicago Chronicle
 One result of Rev MT. ,Sheldon's experi- ment in publishing a daily newspaper "as Jesus would have it done" is already as- sured. Somebody-perhaps Rev. MT. Shell don. perhaps some one else-is going to make lot of money out of the enterprise. The project has been touted far and wide. Tt has been boomed and advertised skill fully, and although the pious MT. Sheldon may not roe in symp@.hy. with the sensa- ton that has been fostered by his press agents he cannot be ignorant of their do- ings. The amount of it is that the Sheldon project is q money-malIing scheme, though Sheldon himself is probably influenced more 5y an itch for notoriety than by a desire for gain. An atmosphere of blas- phemy surrounds the enterprise. The whole thing is scandalous.

 To-day will be devoted in the house of representatives at Washington to eulogies on dead congressman. whose name is not of public interest. It means the loss of one parliamentary work day, and will be the source of large expense to the taxpayers and to no useful purpose Congressman Un- derwood was asked yesterday if he could give any good reason why congress did not not stop such nonsense MT. Underwood did not enter into the merits of the matter or discuss it at any length; but he gave it to be clearly understood that he would be glad to se a reform as to this eulogy nuis ance, though he did not refer in those terms to the objectionable congressional practice. General Oates, when he was in congress, proposed the best plan I have yet heard of for dealing with eulogies on dead members and senator's" said Congressman Underwood. His proposition was to pro- vide that all eulogies be delivered on Sun days as occasion arose; and he introduced a measure to that end, but nothing practi- cal came of it. He argued that all persons who felt interest in dead members or sen- ators could proceed to the capitol on Sun days, and listen to the eulogies, and there bn congressional work would not be inter- fered with. During the last congress fifteen. or sixteen senators and members died. There were adjournments out of respect for those who died, and then days were subse- quently devoted to eulogies, all of which took up something like month of the con- gress. It is our duty to show respect for the dead; but perhaps We do not proceed in the proper direction" The American con- gress is the only parliamentary body in the world that indulges dn adjournments and eulogies respecting dead members. In the greater parliaments, notably in the Mother of Parliaments, there is ordinarily no men, ton whatever made of the death of mem- ber

MAN AND BEAST
 AND BIRD FOR CORN
From the Macon Telegraph.

From the Macon Telegraph.
 From sod to sod the blue bird fits along the new made funrow thrusting his beak in- to half baked larva turned up to the sun by the plowman on his round.
 The cardinal bird and sir joree in the nearby fence jam are exchanging congratu- latSons on the prospect of a large grain crop.
 The thrush and the lark in the neighbor- ing bush, and the cawing crow from the top of tree. scan the fields for sprouting corn.
 It all means that the sun Is shining and the farmer is moving. The great question is-shall it be cotton or corn? If left to the birds it will be corn. If left to reason it will be corn. If left to speculators it will be cotton. Nature and good sense cry out for more corn and less cotton.
 It is not too late to pitch the crop little more to cornward, as it were.
 The spring boost to cotton-the same old bunko game to make the farmers plant a big crop-comes on schedule time. Will they bite at the naked hook?
 Farmers of the west who have had corn to burn for fuel have grown rich raising beef and pork to sell to the cotton planters of the south. This is neither joke nor a fiction. It is fact. Some of this wealth can be transferred to the south by raising our own grain and pork and beef In our own towns and cities "western beef' com mands from three to five cents a pound
 
 the Georgia farmer answer.
 A correspondent writes from a neighbor- ing county that large crop of cotton will be planted this year in that section, and that if crow flies across that portion of the country the coming spring he will wish that he had carried his rations. if he ex- poets to depend on springlng corn for his food.
 It can hardly be so bad as that We can dispense with the crow and the thrasher and the lark, but we trust that this indigen- ous grain crop will have a show. Tho horses and the mules, the cattle and the pigs and the poultry raise their hungry mouths in supplicaItiQn.
 It Us opportune yet for few more acres in corn. There was time in Georgia when | 0 his rations when he journeyed across the state, but that belonged to another gener- ation-another era. There need be no oc- casion for it now.
 On an occasion in Texas town 2,0e0 cot- ton planters were in convention resolving to plant more corn and less cotton, and to radse more hogs. An old Dutchman who wac present took tha resolutions sariors1v He went home and raised an immense amount of corn and fattened several car loads of hogs. The others increased >the cotton crop. The Teuton shipped the swine to Kansas City, and when he began to get cheeks for seventeen eighteen and nineteen hundred dollars in return he made the cot- ton growers sick. The farmers in that northeast Texas county now raise hogs and are prosperous above all others.
 Now as the accepted time to plant corn.

 This is the time of the year when tho country editors are busy telling the farmers how to farm. Advice is so much cheaper than example. And the rich country edi- tors, sitting in their luxurious sanctums, velvet covered tripods, are in a position to see and judge of all the errors common to the average agriculturist Most of them wouldn't know how to blow a furrow.
