clan in the South, and a political somer-
sault is nothing for him, but he found
himself in a very close corner the other
day, says the Washington correspondence
of the Chicago Record Herald. 1t so hap
pened that a gentleman living in one of
the most prominent towns in Stallings'
district got on the train for Washington
one fine morning to see about the appoint
ment as postmaster which Stallings had
promised him To his pleasure he found
another prominent citizen of that place
a fellow passengers. Before they had
Travelled fifty miles condolences were ex-
changed and they discovered, to their in
dignation that both were found on the
same errand. Stalings had promised the
postoffce to both of them during the last
campaign and had told them to come to
Washington shortly before the term of
the present incumbent expired. At first
they were inclined to turn back home,
but after discussing the subject awhile
they concluded that they would go on to
Washington and confront Stallings with
his duplicity.
They arrived all right, and the next
morning called upon their congressman
at his htoel. He received them cordially.

in turn reminded him of his promise to
make him postmaster Stallings clapped

OF the constant talking for the canal

Morgan is dinging on the canal again.
He was Immediately snapped up by one

Don't you worry about Morgan ding

on Hawaii-and he got Hawaii. We laugh

Cuba-and we have just about got Cuba.
We are laughing now because he is ding

PLANNING FOR A SMALLER ACRE
ACE

Cotton planters have been requested to
meet at the county seats of their respect
i've counties next Saturday for the pur-
rose of taking steps to bring about the
planting of a smaller cotton acreage this
season. The attendance ought to be
large, but it is doubtful IL ii will be.
The planters, outside of a few of the most
progressive ones. have an idea that they
can manage their own affairs better than
they can be managed for them.
1t is true that the organization of plant
ers that urged the holding of cotton after
it reached ten cents pound made a mis-
take. 1t was impossible, however, to
forsee the conditions which have brought
the price of cotton down to eight cents,
When the advice was given it was
thought that the demand for cotton goods
would continue to be strong. The war in
China and other causes. however, limited
the demand greatly, and the consequence
was a very considerable fall in the price
Of cotton.
But there can be no mistake in advising
the planters to cut down the cotton acre
age. A small crop brings more than a
large one, and the cost of producing the
small crop is much less than that of pro-
ducing a large one. Besides, when the
cotton acreage is cut down more attention
is given to food crops. The farmers raise
their own supplies. and, hence, can get
along If there is a failure of the cotton
crop.
Farmers ought to attend the meetings
called at county seats for next Saturday
and do what they can towards creating
a sentiment in favor of small cotton
acreage. They will promote their own in
terests by doing so. With a big crop and
a slack demand for cotton goods it is al
most certain that the price Of cotton
would drop down to six cents a pound.
What six cents cotton means every
planter understands. 1t means hard times.
because there is no profit IN cotton at
that price. BY the time the farmer pays
his fertilizer bills and the cost OF produc-
ton and marketing there is hardly enough
left TO pay his taxes. Since the advance
in the price of cotton a couple OF seasons
ago, the South has been prosperous And
In both seasons the cotton crop WAS a
comparatively small one. small crop
therefore means prosperity while a large
one means hard times.

81 was standing in front of one of the
Broadway hotels in New York one after
noon last week." said a railway mail
clerk who has run between the capital
and the big town, according to the Wash
ington Post, when typical Engiishman,
in broad-guage tweeds and with a fore
and-aft cap. who had obviously only been
off the steamer for a very short time,
stepped out of the hotel. and, spying a
huge cop, one of tie gigantic Broadway
squad, standing on the corner, hailed him
thus:
Hi, there. bobby, come heahr
1.-The cop looked surprised at first. Then
he grinned at the man with whom he was
talking and walked over to the Britisher.
The latter Tipped a scent piece at the
cop and said;
Il say, bobby, just run down to the
cohnuh and get me cab. theah's a deah
fellow
THE cop had deftly caught the nickel,
and he looked at it curiously.
What's this? he inquired of the Eng
lishman.
"'Oh, that's for you, me bobby said
the Englishman. Get youahself a dram
with it-and. l say, make haste and get
me the cab win you, like good chawp.
THE cop, l could see, didn't know
whether to get sore or not. He probably
didn't know about the custom of giving
tuppence or such like to the hobbies
abroad However. he thought better of
it if he had any idea of getting sore. He
pulled off his right glove. dug into his
right-hand trousers pocket, pulled out
bunch of change, picked out four pen
MES and handed them TO the surprised
Britisher.
I say, yknow, what's this?' inquired
the Englishman.
% That's yer change, Algie,' said the
cop, and then he gave a whistle between
his teeth for a cabman that passed just
then. put the nickel in his pocket and
strobe away grinning.
Did the Ensiishnsn catch on? Not
at all.
"'Deuced obliging chaps. these Ameri-
can boobies, 1 declah!' I heard him NUT
ter to himself as he stepped out to the
cab. Bah Jove, who'd have thought
they'd make change for fellah!

II is by no means certain that the will
of the people of Nebraska will not be de-
feated, after all, in the matter OF one
senatorship from that state. The repre-
sentatives of the people refused to elect
D. E. Thompson to the Senate, but after
a long deadlock selected Gov. Dietrich
for the place. 1t is now said that sthe
Governor will not resign the governorship
before December, and that meantime it
is quite likely he will resign the senator
ship and nominate Thompson to fill the
vacancy. Dietrich and Thompson are
warm political friends, and Thompson
spent money freely in aid of the Governors
election. A sensation in high Republican
circles has been caused by the talk of
Dietrich stepping aside to make place for
the man the Legislature refused to elect.

Uncle Sam will breathe freer now since
he knows that there lie to be no war be-
tween France and Mrs. William r Mer-
RAM, wife of the Director of the Census,
because the French ambassador at Wash
ington, failed to attend one of Mrs Mer-
RAMS dinners to which he had been in
vited. Ambassador Cambon, it seems. at
ter accepting Mrs. Merriam's invitation,
actually went and dined elsewhere on the
evening of her function, and did not so
near the Merriam house. Such
breach Of etiquette could not, of course,
be condoned by Mrs. Merriam, who is
niece Of the late Gen. Winfield Scott
Hancock. so she set the social diplomatic
wires at work. A period of suspense in
both Washington and Paris resulted. Did
it mean war? At length came an apollo
gy from NJ. Cambon. He explained that
he had gotten his dates wrong, and
thought the Merriam dinner to be some
days off when he accepted the other in
vitation. The explanation and apology
were sufficient, and what had been a
tense situation was happily closed.
