THE. COTTON QUESTION,

IN this issue we publish a cali issued
by Hon. B. E. McLin, Commissioner Of
Agriculture for Florioa, which explains
itself. The question dealt with in this
call-the cotton acreage one Of more
importance than a great many people
think. The recent fearful slump in
prices, together with the discovery that
great deal more cotton, of last years
crop, is in the hands of the farmers
than was at first supposed, has Gre
ated CONSERVATION in many quarters,
and immediate action is urged by some
of the leading cotton-growing sections
to keep the acreage down this year.
Along this line the following from
the Quitman, Ca, Advertiser will in
terest many of our readers:
There is a momentious question
now staring the farmers in the face
which must be settled and that too at
once. This question is of vastly more
importance than politics or any of the
many great problems which are con-
stantly being brought before us by pol
iticians and other public men. They are
about to place seed in the soil for this
years crop, and they are dependant
solely upon their production for an
existence, so the all-important ques-
tion is, what shall we plant in order
to realize the greatest gain?'
Cotton has for years been the staple
article of this section, and each year
the average has increased. The past
year brought forth large production
but the consumption not only kept the
the price regular, but sent it to 6
higher point than it had reached ii
years. To-day the price is but cents
while on the same day last year it solo
for 9 cents. There is tremendoul
quantity now on the market, and man!
spectators are all but bankrupt by tn,
unexpected decline. All who have hell
their cotton for higher prices hav,
been losers by $40 to s25 per bale, ant
in all probability they will find tina
the longer they hold it, the more the!
will lose. -. .-s.
"We do not pretend to suggest tha
the acreage on cotton be reduced, a
the production cannot be too great i
there is demand for it.
'It is we'll to endeavor to estimat
the production. but in doing this i
would be advisable to look into tn
prospects for demand for next season
crop. The farmer has now to shouIde
the cares and responsibilities OF tn
The Weekly Tallahasseean., 1901-03-28

speculator, for which he is dealing In
future. Our advice would be, plant
enough cane, corn and other products
which may be used at home, to fall
back on in case your judgment on the
cotton question is wrong. With hog
and hominy in your storehouses, you
will be better prepared to face the los
ing side of an uncertain problem"

TALLAHAssEE's GUESTS.

Inc members Of the FLORIDA Legisla
ture for 1901 have already commenced
to arrive. By Monday afternoon they
viii all be here, unless some few are
forced BY Providence or other good
reasons to delay their coming. At noon
Tuesday they will meet, the Senators
and members Of the lower house in
their respective ends of the Capitol,
and for the succeeding sixty days will
be engaged in Legislation for the ad-
vancement of our fair State.
During that time the peoples repre-
sentatives, from every county, will be
guests Of Tallahassee. This Is an honor
for which we pardonably feel proud,
and it goes without saying that Talla-
hasseeans will do the honors to per-
lection, leaving no stone unturned to
intersperse with all sorts Of pleas
antries the arduous and responsible
1abOrS the Legislators and attaches
have before them.
For the Presidency Of the Senate, the
Speakership of the House and various
other places of honor and emolument
there will no doubt be spirited con-
tests. Leon county has no candidates
to put forward, and the Tallahasseean,
therefore, has viewed the campaign
for the two first places named above in
silence, believing that to be the best
thing to do under the circumstances
mentioned, and especially when all
things are so near equal that the COM
mon interests of the State will be as
we'll preserved by the election Of one
as the other of the candidates in the
field.
In this connection we are pleased tC
note that no bitterness has been in.
jected into the campaign, and that the
prospects are good for a perfectly
friendly termination. This is well, fOl
when too much feeling enters into thC
organization of legislative body i
is apt to have its effect in shaping
some and retarding other importan
measures.
Carefully scanning the list of sen
atOrs and representatives most of whom
it has been our pleasure to meet in tn
past, we believe that we can say with
out fear of successful contradiction
that the Legislature of 1901, to assem-
d BILE so soon, will be the most intelligen
body of men, as whole, that ever as
Sembled in the Florida Capitol in
similar capacity. Efficient action Is
therefore confidently expected of ther
upon. the many important measures t
come up at this session, and they ar
expected to pursue business method
from the start, so that no public inter
est shall suffer for lack of attention.
On behalf of the people of Tallahas
see, we bid them thrice welcome t
their Capitol City, and bespeak fo
them a liberal portion of enioymep
to make their work lighler during thei
stay among us.

ABOLISH "TREATING ("

Last week we referred to the dis
pensary law now in force in South Car
DINA as a good thing for this State, If
it accomplished nothing more than the
destruction of the infamous "treat-
ing" system. The papers, many Of
them, had not reached their destina-
ton before the necessity for stringent
measures for the abatement of the
system was emphasized in a CHASTITY
manner.
On the main business thoroughfare,
right in the heart of the busiest part
Of the city, almost under the portico of
the st. James Hotel, man was shot
and almost instantly killed by an ac-
quaintanee of day, for no other rea-
son, it seems, than that he desired to
terminate day of conviviality COM
menced over the bar, against the will
Of the party being treated.
: The whole story is too horrible to
dwell upon, but it is more forceful
Eargument than anything we could
say that the treating system is ten-fold
more pernicious than all the Other
evils connected with the whisky traffic
And this is only one instance of hun
dreds that are happening every day.
If the approaching Legislature does
not give US the dispensary law, let it al
least provide some means for abolish
ing the treating of friends to intoxicat
ing liquors.

IT RECoILs WITH EFFECT.

II RECO1LO WIFI Ec Ell.
The opponents of woman's suffrage
are so arrogant that they bring ridi-
cule upon themselves sometimes. The
following instance is so good that not
withstanding we are not numbered
among the "suffragists," it will bear
repeating for the excellent lesson it
conveys to that pompous class who
think they are the whole push" 1t
says:
"Opponents of equal suffrage have
made a wonderful inVentiOn-an elias
tic yardstick. By judicious use Of it,
they propose to prevent women from
Voting. Whenever any woman does an
unwise thing, they charge it against
the whole body of women, and gravely
affirm that all women are unfit to vote.
Al few days ago some of the Daughters
OF the American Revolution, in a con-
t$sted election, lost their temper and
got into a verbal scrimmage, which
was telegraphed from Main to Mexico
as an evidence of women's unftness
for government. The Boston Daily
Herald, with owl-like gravity, in a
LEADING editorial, contended that:
;'The Washington action does not
render it probable that women with
lfsll suffrage rights would be success
ii public affairs, since if women are to
have the suffrage all women must be
admitted to it. The misbehaving Wash
iAgton women must come as well as
tie more properly conducting woman
stfragists.
E"Yet, the same day, the Herald re-
cbrded the fact that a number of Irish
members of Parliamentrefused to obey
tie authority of the Speaker, and had
tt be forcibly removed by squad OF
pklicemen. Whereupon the Herald re-
marks that:
The rumpus may be taken as
Proofs that the Irish factions are even
more thoroughly united than was sup
pissed, and are starting out to follow
: tie tactics laid down by their great
Parliamentary leader, Parnell.'
E"Here is the elastic yardstick ap
: pied respectively to the Irishman 'anC
tie woman. The Herald does not pro
: pkse to disfranchise all Irishmen.
