The republican convention at Phila-
delphia is discussed in a frank and
interesting way in ''The Progress of
the World" in the American Monthly
Review of Reviews for July. The har-
mony that marked the proceedings is
especially pointed out. and it is said
that ''The occasion. from beginning
to end. was altogether model of it's
kind" The political candidates and
issues are caricatured in the usual
amusing style in the cartoon depart
ment.

to the demands of the strikers. People
who have visited that city during this
strike say that the sympathy of its
people have been with the strikers al

pressed strongly on the minds of the
people the advantages of municipal
ownership. Later reports are that the

Famine and Cholera in India.

LONDON, May 5.-Thc report that
cholera is strengthening its dcady hold
on famine stricken India brings the pitt
ful condition of that country more than
ever to the public view. About 81, 800, 900
persons, for this is the population of the
districts affected, are Swcltcring heir
Squalid existence away amid pcsti 1ncc
and misery that show no signs of abating.
Hundreds of thousands of pounds in
good British gold, good German marks
and American coin have been thrown
into the country, but Judging from the
latest adviceS, all this charity is merely
drop in the ocean.
The famine and its attendant complica-
tionS appear to exceed in yirulcncc any
previous viSitations. The viccroy, Lord
turzon of krdlcStun, and the Govern
mcnt are making ccaSclcSs rXcrtions to
meet the terrible emergency, but the
StupcnduuS difficulties confronting them
prevent the present supplying of relief
To more than five millions. In the mean
time the native States arc dotted with
heaps of dead and dying and the roads
are crowded with ghastly bands seeking
I" escape from the stricken territories,
but who, for lack Of food and water,
most succumb in the attempt. one of
the most hopeless features of the whole
AFFAIR is contained in the statement of Il
special correspondent at Simla, who
writes:
"'rcn times the total relief could be
laid out in Il single district without fully
relieving its diStrcSScS. All we can hope
Tor is succession OF good years to put
the people on their legs again.
The British districts are reported to he
SO far escaping the large starvation and
morality that mark the native States.
But that their native condition is not en-
viablc is evident from the following de
Scription sent by a Bombay corrcSpon-
dent of the scene at Ahmcdabcd, Il city
in the presidency Of Bombay:
In an open space upward Of two hun
drca were seated, old and young, being
famine pcrSoniicd. The smell arising
from their filthy rags was Sickcning and
had attracted myriaGs of flies. Some,
especially the old men, were bony frame
works. \ girl SucklIg two children was
ghastly To look at, but the little ones,
Win h"l!"w temples, :unkum eyes and
checks, and the uapcS of their ncckS fall
ing in under their skulls, which seemed
To over balance their cmaciatcd bodies,
and with wiSp-likc arms and legs, were
more dreadful still. Many were suffer
fever. Those who could work were sent
on where tanks were being dug. Others
were given II meal and passed on to the
poor house,
This picture is from Il less seriously
affected part of the country. The suifcr-
ingS in the rcmotCr districts, where the
famine is severe, where all the cattle
have long since died, where the water
is precious and where cholera has now
added It's dread Scouragc, can well be
imagined

Better Prices for Cotton.

Tho farmers of Troup county, Ga,
have started Il scheme of organization
Tor the purpose of securing better prices
ior their cotton that seems to have sOmo
merit in il, and perhaps deserves tho at
tention of thoughtful faymors all over
the South, and to this cnd' they have
called Il convention of Georgia farmers
One desirable feature of tho movement
Is that it PROPOSES To include bankers
and mo.chants, as they arc important
factors in any scheme to help tho farm
crs. Tho working plan for tho organi-
zation is in brief us follows: They pro-
pose TO combine in an organization not
less than % per cent Of tho cotton pro-
duccrs Of the South, and this rs per
cent is to bc made up Of men who arc
financially able to hold their cotton for
six or eight months, if need be. Tho
aid and cooperation of the bankers arc to
bc solicited and secured because cotton
is Il cash crop and money can be bor-
rowcd from the banks to tho amount of
go to so per cent with the cotton as col
lateral This is done to enable some
good men who arc not strong enough
financially To hold their cotton, to do so
with the aid of the banks. Each county
is to be asked to organize with at least
% per cent OF its cotton producers, and
all over that it can get, with its officers,
ana hcau O;iicD at some convenient
point ut which reports are to bo filed all
during tho crop season of all informa-
ton connected with the growing crop.
During the picking season these reports
arc to bc made once a week. and each
member is to report once Il week. These
reports Of information arc to be sent
from each county to central ot1ico
where they arc to be tabulatcd and sent
down to each county Office so that tho
members will be kept in close touch with
the crop conditions all over the South.
There is to be Il directing committee in
each State and all these committees arc
to work in harmony; they Will know how
much cotton is held in the organization
and will direct the selling. This com
mittcc is not TO control the cotton, but
each individual owner will control his
own cotton. There is nv politics in tho
scheme. But it is essentially Il business
organization for the purpose of holding
back ~ per cent Of the cotton and it
proposes to combine the three clc-
mcntS necessary to its success, the agri-
cultural, the mercantile and the banking
elements. IT is possible to work tho
scheme if the farmers will go into it.
The question is, will they do it? 1t is
worthy of their attention, for it is not
scheme to hurt anybody, but only to
help those who 80 into it to hold their
cotton OF the markct.-Andcrson Peo-
pies Advocate.

BUSINESS AND POLITICS.
They Do not Mix In tho Grand Old State OF
South Carolina.

Mr.. August Kohn, the wido-awakc and
obscrvant Columbia correspondent of the
Charleston News and Courier, on Nav
Sth, writes
The announcements in tho various
county newspapers and in the daily press
again emphasize ono thing Business
men, men who have achieved conspicu-
"us success in their own affairs, arU not
running for county or State Offices.
Some say that it is because of the county
to county, precinct to precinct cam
paiGnS that are in vogue. A business
man who will consent to allow his name
to be used as 4 candidate for the Gene
raj Assembly thinks that for him to de-
vote month or more of his time dur
ing the session Of the General Assembly
is doing ABOUT as much as he can, and
when 1T comes to going from precinct to
precinct 10 make campaign speeches it
is asking too much. That is no doubt one
reason SO few well known and success
ful business and professional men run
Tor county Offices. and particularly for
the General Assembly, whcro they are SO
seriously needed.
1t is to be noted, also, that in the las,
few years practically no business men
have run for Offices, ard it is now being
admitted that there would be no injury
do. the public service if tho business
interests of the State would take Il more
active hand in the elections.
The first place where business men arc
needed, and where there would not be
so much tax upon their time and patriot
ism, is in the General Assembly, and in
each county the Democrats would do well
to see 4 hat successful men are elected
rather than men who merely want to go
to Columbia without much idea of what
they are to do when they get there.
The business and the industrial inter
cStS of the State arc growing very rapidly
and some means ought to be devised
whereby other than the professional Of
cc-Scckcrs and politicians can get 10 the
General Assembly.

The American Drink Bill.

1t has been said that the Amcr
cans are fast becoming bcer-drink-
ing people, and it is a fact that the
consumption Of beer IN this country
has increased very largely in the
past few years and is still increasing.
But it is also true that our people
drink a great deal more coffee than
beer.
They drink nearly four times as
much coffee as tea, though the dis
proportion is not so great now rs it
formerly was, the use Of tea having
increased largely during the prcscn,
generation.
The American Grocer, ;.n enter
rrising and reliable trades journal,
has collected some interesting figures
on the sub rct of our national drink
bill and gives the following figures
in gallons:
Coffee. ......... ...... ,3l6,051 ,5l2
