THEY ARE STILL BITING.

The "cherry tree" and other swindling
games seem to DO still alive in this sec

just how many suckers" have been nib

monty known as the sucker" 1t seems
strange, too, that as soon as ono ''sucker''
is pulled out of the water others make a
dive for the same old bait whom tho hook
is dropped again.
There is peculiar fascination con-
nectcd with fishing--both for the angler
and the fish. So long as there is nib.
BILE at the hook the fisherman is loath to
leave his ''suoker" friend; 80 long as the
angler drops his baited hook into the
water the ''suoker" will stay and nibble
until he is finally caught-unless, per-
chance, the angler catches all he can CON
veniontly handle. Then whata stir and
excitement in tho "sucker hole"-with
what eagerness they await the return of

the baited hook, daily and play with it
for season, and finally grasp it with
tho hope that, while others have been
caught, theJ may escape and succeed in
carrying off at least ortion of the bait.
Not much! These anglers know what

Cotton Goes Up, Then Down.

Tho publication on the Nov York
stock exchange last Tu esday of the gov
ernment cotton crop estimate, showing
the probable number of bales to be con-
siderably less than was generally be-
lieved, threw the brokers into furry.
Prices bounded upward thirty or forty
points within few minutes, but after
ward went down to original figures.
Before the close tho highest point was
reached again, and there was no further
decline. Opinion as to the probable
effect of tho government estimate varies.
Some operators hold that if the estimate
Is correct, 10 cents cotton will be cer-
tainty Of the next few months. Liver
pool followed the advance in New York,
but operators there are inclined to doubt
the correctness of the government esti-
mate. The tendency of tho market since
tho report has been decidedly upward
but owing to the continued depression Ia
the price of cotton goods, conservative
judges are not disposed to be too enthu-
siastic about any considerable jump in
the price of cotton.

McLaurin enjoyed the enviable distinc-
tion of being the only ono who had with
drawn his resignation after offering It.
AS to Mr.. McLaurin's charge of conspir-
acy to humiliato him by barring him
from the Democratic caucus, Mr.. Till
man called attention to the fact that he
had not been in Washington duriug the
extra session of the Senate last spring.
"This conspiracy" he said, "'is a dream
conjured up by him. 1t is tho creation
of his own BRAIN"
In conclusion Mr.. Tillman, with O.
sweep of his arm, adjured his Demo
cratic colleagues not to "fret' about the
charge that they were conspiring to dis
credit Mr.. McLaurin at home, because
"his crowd was demoralized, cowed and
whipped"
Mr.. Hoar, of Massachusetts, addressed
himself to the legality of the resigna-
tions which the SOnth Carolina Senators
had sent to the Governor of their State.
Ho declared that tho resignation of a
Legislative Office yacates tho Office at once,
and that no doubted whether such resig-
nations could be Withdrawn. He said
that Speaker Blaine had 30 hold upon one
occasion In the House contrary to the
English notion that g Legislative office
cannot bo resigned. He said that man
GOULD not be kept in Office against his

found unconstitutionally formed, the
present status of a large area OF the
western part of North dakota is left
without legal organization, and an effort
is being made to influence the governor

straighten things out. We confess we
hardly see the necessity. That section

printed all at home" but some may not
know the technicalities OF the business
and take such expression as the whole
truth.
The only claim to an "all at home
print" the plate-using publisher has over
the patent inside, user, is that all his
press work is done at home. He might
set up only one column of home news in
his own type and fill the balance of eight
pages with advertisements and plate
matter and still have equally good claim
to an "all at home" print.
AS to which is the. best method of
printing local papers. publishers them.
selves disagree and each uses his own
judgment; there is very little difference
in the cost. There are advantages and
disadvantages in either method. As we
view it, from a strictly publishers point
of view, perhaps the advantage is, with
the plates, as it gives the publisher much
more latitude in advertising space, and
full control Of the advertising. From
the readers point of view, we think
patents are best, because the patent
pages are we'll arranged and complete
in short, well edited-while plate matter
comes in chunks, is hard to arrange, and
so far as news goes, always incomplete.
OF course many people never look at
either plate matter or inside pages, par
ticularly those who read the dailies, but
on the other hand to the subscriber who
takes only the local weekly, if it has in
side patent pages and he reads both
sides of the paper he will miss but very
little of the news of the world, of
the country, state or county, besides
finding considerable entertainment or
knowledge in the miscellaneous matter.
The Pink Paper is an excellent local
paper, and sets up more type at home
than most country weeklies, but in our
humble opinion, it would look better,
read better and be much more complete
in the way of general news, if it used
patent sheets. This of course is but an
opinion. But it is fact that mere
choice between ''patent'' or 'plate" isn't

HOME PRINT PAPERS.

The Pink Paper last week INDUCES in
some criticism on patent insides" or
ready print papers, and incidentally
glorifies itself as an ''all at home print"
paper.
Now the fact is that all local country
weeklies set up just certain amount of
type in their own offices. varying from
four to ten columns, as their abilities and
circumstances admit, while the balance
of the reading matter is purchased either
in the form of ''plate matter" or sheets
already printed on one side. Nearly all
city papers also use these ready made
helps in some degree.
Each Of these kinds of helps are pur-
chased from supply houses which make
business of furnishing this additional
stuff to newspapers.
Stereotype plates are made by press
ing paper on the face of set type, and
forming mould Of the paper, on which
type metal is run. This process can be
repeated rapidly and cheaply, SO that the
set type can be thus multiplied in the
form Of solid metal plates, which will
print nearly as well as the original type.
Supply houses send out sheets printed
from these plates weekly, showing
stories, miscellaneous matter, and other
things of use to publishers, and of
general interest to readers, and the

process is first to soak the corn in

just as white people in the country
make hominy. This removes the hulls.
The corn is then put into large NOR

As tles process Of pounding goes on
the crushed corn is removed from the

Of cane and then famed in the wind to
remove the hulls. The grit" MS the
course meal is called, is then replaced
In the mortar and pounded into fine
meal. 1t Is then boiled up with cay

small amount of lye is left in the meal,
and it has tendency to preserve it for
q long time. However, If the stuff
sours, 1t is regarded as a great deli
cacy. 1t Is known as "con-a-hanna."
The food Is sometimes varied by the
addition Of nuts, which is considered
especially fine. With the nuts it is
called "ca-nutch."
In the olden times cakes were made
OF "con-a-hanna" by baking the sub
stance In rudely constructed rock
ovens or In hot ashes. These cakes
would keep for long time and, in con-
