The Atlanta Constitution has done Mr..
c. c. Hanson the justice of showing that
he did not mean that the roundlap bale
would take the place of the square bale
when, in recent interview, he said the
indications were that, in the near future,
the COMPRISING of cotton would be done
at the ginneries instead of at congresses
in the towns. The Constitution in COM
menting on Mr.. Hanson's interview han
died the subject in a way that was cal
culated to create the impression that he
was of the opinion that the roundlap
bale was about to take the place of the
square bale.
In doing justice to Mr. Hanson the Con-
stitution makes some statements which
would seem to cali for further comments
In the course of its article it says:
1T is with pleasure that The Consti-
tuition publishes this construction of Mr.
Hansons interview. AS between the old
time bale and improved methods, The
Constitution is Indifferent as to the re-
suit of the contest. We have long con-
tended, however, that the South has been
throwing away millions of dollars for
baggfng and ties. Both these products are
now and have for years been controlled
by gigantic trusts"
We are not prepared of course to deny
that there is a bagging trust and also a
cotton tie trust 1t is not improbable
that there are such trusts. We know that
there have been seasons when 1t was as
serted that the manufacturers of cotton
ties and also the manufacturers of bag
cling had combined to put up the prices
of these articles, but it seems to us that
in view of the fact that The Constitu-
test between the roundlap bale and the
square bale. that paper could have com
mented upon the danger to the cotton
growers of getting into the grip of the
owners of the round bale process. While
pointing out the cotton tie and baggine
trusts it has nothing to say in respect to
the fact that the machines for making
the round bale are not sold, but are held
by a company and let out at so much a
bale.
If the square bale should be abandoned
would It not be in the power of the round
bale company to put its own price on the
baling Of cotton? Could It not become
even a greater trust than it is possible
to make of the cotton tie business or of
the bagging business?
Cotton growers have fear of something
of the kind, and The Constitution made
no reference to the possibility Of such a
trust 1t must have overlooked that
possibility.

Cursing Contest.

A professor of languages. some years
ago, on returning from India, remarked
upon the psucity of Objectionable phrases
among the British working classes when
compared with the abundance suppplied
by the Orientals of similar rank, says the
Liverpool Post To prove this he gives a
case which came under his own notice.
He had dismissed a man servant for dis
honesty, and the next morning at 6
o. clock he sought an interview with his
former master. He flourished carving
knife, with which he plainly intended to
emphasize his remarks. When he found
1t impossible to gain admission he sat I'M
der the window and the swearing pro-
cess began. He cursed the professor
along the genealogical tree back to the
first ancestor of his race. Then he dwelt
upon every detail of his anatomy, from
the top of his head to the end of his toes.
"For three consecutive hours he sat there
and swore." says the professor, without
once repeating a phrase"
While travelling on the Underground
Railway in London. a party of working
men entered the same compartment, and
interspersed their remarks with the COM
monest forms of swearing" The pro-
fessor politely asked them to desist.
whereupon he was told to mind his own
- business. He at once commenced to
translate into English some specimens of
Eastern oats which he had heard Cal
cutta merchants servant use to a mis-
sionary servant The men sided from him
as If he had the plague, and at the next
station sought another compartment.

The Republican papers are trying to
get some satisfaction out of the state
ment that is being made that the total
OF the appropriations of the last Con-
gress was about $127,OOOOOO less than the
appropriations of the preceding Congress.
They fail to make mention of the fact
that the preceding Congress had to pro-
vide for war and that the last Con-
gress made no appropriations for rivers
and harbors. 1t seems remarkable that
Republicans, whether making public ad-
dresses or publishing articles in newspa-
pers, cannot tell the whole truth, cannot
deal with entire frankness with the peo-
pie. There is no use in their trying to
make it appear that their party is not
extravagant The people know it is. The
evidences that it is are too convincing
to be overcome by assertions to the con-
trary.

BLACKBURN AGAINST REORGANI-
ZATION.

It is evident from the expressions of
Democrats who have stood by the Demo
cratic party during the last five or six
years that Mr.. Cleveland is not grow
ing In favor with them. The other day, in
New York Senator Blackburn declared
that the Democratic party did not need
recognizing, but that If it did he would
Senator Hanna than to ex-President
Cleveland. He looks upon Mr.. Cleveland
as disorganizer, not as an organizer.
Senator Blackburn seems to forget that
Mr.. Cleveland twice lead the party to
victory, and that he is the only Demo
crat who has been President since the
Civil War. There is some ground. there
fore, for thinking that Mr.. Cleveland is
good deal more of a statesman than Sem
ator Blackburn, and those who think as
he does relative to political matters are
willing to admit it.
However, there is no probability that
Mr.. Cleveland will come to the front
again as one of the active leaders of the
Democratic party. He is practically out
of the political field. and he is out to
stay. No doubt he will now and then
throw out an idea as to what he thinks
is the best course for the party to pur-
sue, but he will not attempt to gather
a following for the purpose of having his
views adopted. And yet 1t would not
be surprising If the next national plat
form of the Democratic party should be
nearer in harmony with the views enter
tanned by Mr.. Cleveland than those to
which Senator Blackburn clings so tena-
ciously and expresses so voluminously.

STRANGE HAPPENINGS IN POLITICS.

Who would have predicted a few
months ago that the time would come
when the Philadelphia Press, the most
radical of the Republican papers, and
Mr.. Bryan would ever be in accord on
any question? But in it's edition of last
Monday we find the Press quoting Mr..
Bryan with approval.
1t seems that in the last number of
his paper. The Commoner, MIR. Bryan
takes occasion to tell the people of Vir-
ginia that it would hardly be just to put
in their new constitution an educational
qualification for the purpose of disfran-
chising the negro and then to refuse the
negro a chance to get an education. He
says that the white people own pretty
nearly all of the taxable property, and
therefore ought to bear the cost of the
public schools. He does not put his
thought in these words, but they convey
the meaning of what he says.
In commenting on Mr.. Bryans article
the Press says: mr.. Bryan's ideas on
the financial question are all wrong, and
have been repudiated twice by a great
majority of the voters. But his opinion
on colored suffrage and education will,
in the MAN. meet the approval of a great
majority of sensible people. 1t is a
pleasure to agree with Mr.. Bryan on at
least one point"
If Mr.. Bryan keeps on making friends
with the Republicans he will be in de-
mand by all parties in 1904. He is pop
ular with Populists and is a leader of
the Democrats. and now the Republican
papers are beginning to praise him.
Surely he is having some compensation

CURRENT COMMENT.

The New York Commercial Qnd) SAYS
There is perhaps nothing as yet to Sc
riously alarm the South over any future
loss of her cotton trade, but the world
moves with remarkable rapidity in these
times. and every days. every hours ex-
perience brings forcibly home to the
student of industrial conditions the in
creasing Importance of economies in ev-
cry field of production. There is a vast
amount Of waste in the present method of
handling the American cotton crop, and
the cost of production could probably
be materially reduced. If our cotton in
the future is to no more than hold it's
own in the expanding markets of the
world, the cost of laying IL down at the
doors of the consumers must be made a
matter of constant study"
The New York World Dem) says: I'm
his Commoner Mr.. Bryan repeats his
censure Of Mr.. Cleveland for forcing the
repeal of the Sherman silver-purchase
law. But the national Democratic plat
form of 1892, upon which Mr. Cleveland
was elected, said: we denounce the Re
publican legislation known as the Sher-
man act OF 1880 as a cowardly makeshift
fraught with possibilities of danger to
the future, which should make all its

Representative Curtis and Senator
Quarles, of Kansas and Wisconsin, re-
spectively, have given serious offense to
the Snake Indians, with whom they were
trying to negotiate a treaty. Curtis and
Quarles went to see the Indians a week
or so ago about the signing of the treaty.
They found the braves in good humor and
| holding sort of festival. The chief told
the visiting statesmen that his people
were just about to sit down to a feast,
and that if they would be so good as to
snare in the food, afterwards they would
talk over the treaty and he had no doubt
all differences could be adjusted without
friction. Now, the principal dish of the
feast was dog meat. The statesmen
couldn't get the consent of their stom-
achs to eat dog, so they declined. The
refusal angered the Indians, and they told
their visitors that they believed them to
be cheats and swindlers of the first water,
and the quicker they got out of the reser-
walton the better it would be for them.
Curtis and Quarles, therefore, seized their
grips and hustled. They will report to
Congress that they couldn't complete the
treaty because they wouldn't eat dog.
The figures of the stock and bond
transactions on Wall street since the first
of January are so large as to be difficult
OF comprehension. In four months and
ten days the transactions in stocks and
bonds, according to the New York CORE
spondent Of the Philadelphia Ledger, have
aggregated a par value of 1883, $50, TO,
or more than the combined public debts of
France, Great Britain, Germany and the
United States. The total transactions
amount also to more than the aggregate
capital stock and bonded debt of all the
railroads in the United States, amounting
TO Sll,3S7, O39.208. Thus in about twenty
weeks there has been sold on the Stock
Exchange $S3n,9 ,562 more than all the
stocks and bonds of all the railroads.
The transactions in this period are two
and one-half times greater than in the
corresponding time last year. AS matter
of fact, the dealings during four months
and ten days have exceeded the record of
any whole year heretofore, with one
single exception.

HERON DIVORCE PAPERS
MISSING COURT RECORDS FOUND,
AND WILL BE USED In
CHURCH TRIAL
WIFE CHARGED DISCRETION
Alleged Also That the Professor Had
Been Guilty of Cruel and
Inhuman Treat
ment.

GRINNELL, To-, April 2a-Rev. e. NJ.
Vittum, pastor of the Grinnel Congrega-
tional church, the church that will pre-
fer charges against DR.. Heron, has
finally secured copies of the papers in
the Heron divorce case. These are the
papers that disappeared from the clerks
Office at Algona, and difficulty was ex-
perienced in obtaining them. Just where
the Iapers have been is still a mystery
and they probably would not have been
produced had not pressure been brought
The charges alleged in the petition will
be used as the basis of charges against
Heron at the church trial tomorrow.
The gist of the petition which contains
the charges and which is now made pub
lie for the first time is as fellows:
The plaintiff, Mary Everhard Heron,
respectfully shows to the court that she
is the wife OF George D. Heron, that
they were married Jan. 9, 1888, at Ripon.
Wis, that they lived together as husband
and wife from the time of their marriage
until about five years ago, when the de-
PENDANT, without cause or excuse, de-
serted plaintiff and refused to longer
live and cohabat with her as her hus-
band. and that such absence has con-
tinued from then until now
That Notwithstanding the plaintiff
always conducted herself towards the de-
PENDANT as q loving, kind and dutiilll
wife, and notwithstanding she discharged
to the fullest measure her duties and
obligations to him, the defendant, during
the last two years especially, has been
guilty of such cruel and inhuman treat
ment of the plaintiff as to seriously i'm
pair her health and to endanger her life,
wherefore the plaintiff prays the court
to grant her divorce, that she may be
given possession of the children and
charged with their support, maintenance
and education.
Heron, in his answer admits the mar
riage and birth of the children, but de-
MES all other allegations, the point be-
ing that while he admits the charges
he will make no defense. The decree
finds that the allegations made in the
petition are true and grants the divorce
as asked.
