PULLMAN is noted for its unity in
things commercial, and for its divis-
ions in things political. Now that
the annual election strife is put be-
hind for another year, our people
will put a common shoulder to the
whcelan Pullman will continue its
onward march toward commercial
and social greatness. Pullman is
the Gomiug town Of the inland EN-
pire, aud it's coming pretty fast, too.

HAYSEED's thrust at the agricul-
tural college in the Ranch and

better understanding of it, and to
know it thoroughly is to be its

A Pickanninny BattIc.

There was a feud of several days
standing between links and June.
Whenever June presented his rusty
brown face at corner confident of
victory, links smudgy yellow one was
sure to appear near by with an angry
retort to hurl at him.
The warfare had been limited to
wordy discharges, clenched fists and
defiant yells. If links got an advan-
tage in louder crying out the virtues
of his strings of catfish offered for sale.
it was offset by June's superior nim-
bleness in supplying customers, and
the unpleasantness continued to be a
drawn game.
One Saturday afternoon they met on
Commerce street. Both had strings of
fish slung across their shoulders, and
each one was attended by several 9TH
er impish-looking little negroes.
Winking at his companions, links
pulled his brimless straw hat down
close, spit on the sidewalk and asked:
What yer got dere?"
Fish," answered June.
Dem Amt no fish. HUH Amt moth

ping on one foot and then the other,
and swapping his fingers in June's face.
June gave a twitch to the half of a
suspender, that crossing from the right
in front to the left in the back, held
on his ragged apology for a pair of
trousers, ran at links and struck him
with a string of fish. links struck
back with the same kind of weapon;
the members of both parties ran TO
help their friends, and catfish and lit
tie negroes rolled over and over on the
sidewalk. A pair of rusty heels. a
black woolly head and a string of fish
would, by turns. bob up. When a po-
liceman untangled the mixture, not a
whole fish was on either string, nor a
whole garment on one of the boys.

BIRMINGHAM's OPPORTUNITY.

There is no good reason why most
of the cotton ties needed for the cotton
crop should not be made in Birming-
ham, Ala, and it would be to the in
terest of the cotton growers to have
them manufactured there. 1t is a safe
assertion that the entire cotton interest
would much rather have them made
there than in the North, for two rea-
sons. One is that they could, in all
probability, be made at less cost there,
because iron and steel are cheaper,
less danger of a strike in mills there
than in the Pennsylvania mills.
AS stated in our local columns yes
terday, the contracts which Southern
merchants have with the Pennsylva-
MIA cotton tie manufacturers contain
a provision that the manufacturers
shall not be held to the strict letter of
the contract in the event of a strike in
their mills. From this it is apparent
that the Pennsylvania manufacturers
are always apprehensive of a strike,
and that there is always a strong prob
ability that there will be a dearth of
cotton ties just at the time they are
wanted.
The price of ties is now advancing
steadily, and it ia by no means certain
that the supply will be equal to the
demand, at any price. Cotton may have
to wait weeks before it can be mar
keted. simply for the lack of ties.
There are, 1t seems, two mills in the
South which make cotton ties, but
their output is far from being equal to
the demand. No doubt they will do the
best they can to help cotton growers
out of their trouble. but good will is
not what is wanted. Cotton ties are
wanted, and if they are not forthcom-
ing in response to the demand the
South may suffer much loss. The adj

The advantages of prolonged life are
not always apparent. Certainly life
must have lost most of its attraction for
a man who has once tasted the sweets of
influence and power and finds himself

poverty and obscurity towards an I'M

man who had sat in Congress with
Abraham Lincoln and the other giants
of those days, who had been Governor
of the state of New Jersey before the

been the holder of other offices of trust
and distinction. He was the author of

Fame. in most instances, is but a

and then, swiftly silently, sees it slip

wealth is fieeting. popularity is as
evanescent, almost, as the wind. He
who has them all cannot be certain
they will last out his life. Indeed, the
probabilities are that before he has
reached the allotted three score and
have made life rich in promise and
fruition will have reached their full
maturity and then have crumbled into
dust.
What does life hold for him then?

He has been power in the land, and

Indian man cook know how many per-
sons are to dine with her, and may in
dictate certain dishes that she would
like to have. And that settles it. The
man knows his business, and does 1t.
The same degree Of thoroughness Is
credited to the Chinese man cook, and
as well to the Japanese. The argu-
ment Of The Scotsman is that women
domestics regard their going into ser
vice as merely a stop-gap until the
time of their marriage, and therefore
devote more attention to husband
hunting than to learning the household
arts and practicing them. When
man becomes a cook, he knows that
his lifes work is to be in the kitchen
and he strives to perfect himself in the
business and give satisfaction to his
employer. On this line The Scotsman
asserts that we shall never see set
tlement of the domestic labor problem
until the service is turned over to the
sex that will apply business principles
to it; that is, until we have men as
our cooks and maids"
to come from? There are many negro
men cooks in the hotels and restau-
rants of the South. and fairly good
cooks they are, too. But negro men
are hardly available for general SER
vice in kitchen and household. Shall
we turn to the Far East, which is
credited with producing the model ser
wants? The Memphis Commercial-A
peal hears that there is a movement
on foot to import Cinnamon to take
the places of worthless and irresponsi-
BILE house servants. The Chinaman as
a rule is honest, quiet, faithful, intel
ligent and industrious. San Francisco
is probably bothered less than any
other city of this country, through the
fact that so many Chinese are employ
ed there as domestics. But there
would have to be a mighty hard fight
made in Congress before the Chinese
would be permitted to enter this coun-
try in any numbers. And then there
are many dangers in connection with
Chinese immigration. John" is both
frugal and thrifty. He spends little
and aecumulates property rapidly.
Given the opportunity, it would not be
many generations before John" would
exist in such numbers and have SO
much wealth as to seriously menace
our institutions

THE SERVANT QUESTION.

Where two or three married women
are gathered together it is safe to say
there will be a discussion of the trials
and tribulations they suffer because of
the difficulties they have with their
servants. The perfect jewell of a
cook or a housemaid is not often met
with these days outside of a novel or
off the stage. There was a time in
the South when they were plentiful,
but that time is gone. The problem of
domestic help is as acute with us,
probably, as 1t is in any other part of
the country. At Huntsville, Ala. and
Jackson. Miss, there is a movement on
foot TO send North for white women to
take the places of colored women in
domestic service, since the latter are
becoming more and more imperious in
their demands and less and less salts
factory in their service.
But is there any reason for thinking
that imported white girls from the
North would give satisfaction for any
length of time? In the Northern cities
there goes up a constant wall from
housewives whose lives are made a
burden by the servants. Would those
servants be improved by transplanting
in the South?
The trouble with domestics, by the
way. is not confined to this country.
Throughout the United Kingdom the
servant question is a burning one. In
France, Holland, Belgium and Ger
many conditions are a little better,
though in no one of these countries
can it be said that the service is per-
fectly satisfactory. This leads The
Scotsman, Of Edinburgh, to the conclu-
sion that women cannot and will not
make perfect domestics. and IT turns
to the East for evidence in contrast
to sustain its theory. In India no
white woman thinks of supervising her
kitchen and homework. and fretting
herself sick about the dinner when she
is going to have company. She lets her

From the New YORK Press.
Self-respect in ourselves is conceit In
others.
The more a man can get engaged the
less he will get married.
The man who will let a woman make
love to him is the same one who will
borrow money from her.
Most women have the same scruples
about flirting as they have about chew
ing caramels and drinking ice cream
soda.
Some women can't have any respect
for themselves unless they know there
is some reason why others shouldn't
have any respect for them if they could
discover it.
All a man has to do to make a wo-
man believe she inspires him with high
ideas is to hold her hand a long time
when he is saying goodby and bend his
head low down so she can't see him
wink to himself
Women flirt with fools and men fool
with firts.
You can't tell thing about kiss
able mouth just by looking at 1t.
Old loves are like old clothes-not
so handsome to look at, maybe, but
mighty comfortable to live with.
Just about the time a man gets the
hang of a whole lot of things his wife
insists he must do she trots out a whole
lot more that he mustn't do.
The difference between a man and a
woman is that she will work a long
time TO keep out of the corner he wants
to get her into, but after she is in she
wants to stay there: while a man will
work years to get her into the corner,
but after she is in he doesn't care a
hang whether she stays there or not.
