Russia's Great Cotton Crop.


WASHINGTON, May 17.-It is expected
that Russia will soon be able to supply
her own needs in cotton, according to
report received at tho State Depart
ment from Deputy Consul General
Hanauer. at Frankfort, Germany. She
is one of the few countries which
levies tax on imported cotton. A tax
amounting to about two thirds of the
value of the staple is imposed. The
Importation Of cotton diminished over
72,O0O.00O pounds in 1890, while the
production increased "a per cent during
the same year. Grain fields in Russia
are now planted with cotton, for the
cultivation of the fibre is much more
profitable than that Of wheat.

force. but they are, taxed to support
eight governments, for. places must bo
made for political favoritcs and young
er sons who cannot be cared for in their
native lands. Porto Rico has already
had taste Of this, tho result being
evident already in the misery that ex-
lists there.
Tho Supreme Court will meet only
twice more before adjournment for tho
summary. e:a Joto there is not the slight
est indication of decision in the colo
NAL cases being handed down. Whilo
no one wants TO hurry the Court un-
daily, nevertheless tho impression is
gaining ground here that some decision
snonid DC rendered. Tho Porto kican
act was passed more than two years
ago. 1t was based on the theory that
the Constitution does not follow the
tag; that our new insular acquisitions
are not under the Consti tut On; not in
tegral parts, but colonial dependencies
of the United States. That theory has
shaped our policy for more than two
years. Meanwhile, cases have been
pending in the Federal Courts-most
of the time in the Supreme Court-in-
volving the validity of the Porto Rican
act and. consequently, the ccns.:tc-
tionality Of the governments insular
policy. The most inomentous conse-
quences hang on the deferred decision,
and it certainly seems desirable that it
should not be postponed for another
eix months.
Counterfeiting seems to be becoming
one of the lost arts. So far this year
only four counterfeits have been dis
covered, aud but six weeks of the fiscal
year remain. This breaks the record
for dullness in tho counterfeiting bust
ness. Last year nine counterfeits were
discovered, the year before that seven
teen, while in still earlier years from
twenty to forty was the usual number.
Counterfeiting does not pay any more.
The Secret Service men say it is as
easy to pass bogus bill now as it ever
was, but they think the good times
and plentitude Unemployment has in
duced great many of the old-time
workers to turn honest.
