INTEREST IN REGISTRATION.

From the Huntsville Mercury
Now that dates have been fixed for the
registration of voters in the country pre-
cincts, keener interest is being display
ed in the matter of registration. Specu-
lation as to the probable number of vot-
ers who will register is general, and the
figures cover wide range.
If every good citizen will assist in the
work of reminding the young men to pay
their poll tax and thus qualify as voters,
Madison will still have very large vote;
otherwise many young men will be dis
franchised merely because Of their indif-
ference to their own interests. And, such
disfranchisement will be humiliating.
1t has been stated that many white men
care so little about the privilege of voting
that they will disfranchise themselves vol
unfairly by declining to pay their poll tax.
That opinion must be erroneous. Almost
every man with straight hair and blue
eyes feels keen interest in the manage
ment of his county and state affairs, and
will decline to be put in the h,irniliating
attitude of admitting that he Is not a
voting citizen for the reason that he neg
lected to pay his poll tax.
This is the last month in which to pay
your poll tax

A HARHARoUs TAX.

From the Philadelphia Times.
The acquisition of such picture as
the Colonna Madonna Of Raphael, which
]. Pierpont Morgan has purchased in
London, should be cause of pleasure
and pride to the whole country. The
possession of the great works of the Ital-
ian masters is recognized as so important
an element of national wealth that the
Government of Italy has forbidden their
expectation. The Government of the
United States, on the contrary, forbids
their importation, under penalty of a
heavy fine. This is the protection" of
Raphaers painting of the Madonna and
st. Anthony Is widely known. 1t was in
the possession of the Colanna family for
many generations and then passed into
the ownership of the King Of Naples, on
whose downfall 1t found its way to Lon
don. before the enactment of the present
Italian embargo. Mr.. Morgan has
bought 1t from Siedelmeyer, the dealer,
end is said to have paid half a million
dollars for it. Invoiced at this price the
duty upon 1t will be 100000.
Mr. morgan very rlBntiy OBJECTS TO pay
ing this tax. He has now an investment
of over million and half In works of
art, including. besides the Raphael, a
Gainsborough, a Rubens and a Hobbema
and various collections of antiques, which
he purposes to leave in London for the
present, until the Government Of the
United States shall remove its barbarous
penalties.
The duty upon works of art is one of
the most fragrant enoi mites of the Ding
ley tariff. Nobody wants it, and artists
least of all. 1t is a positive injury to
American art since 1t does not exclude
cheap pictures but is prohibitory in the
case Of works whose accessibility to the
public would be an artistic stimulus In
spirit. however, this preposterous tax is
consistent with the whole system, and In
Drawing particular attention to it Mr..
Morgan is but emphasizing the demand
for tariff reform.

ward. This condition will not last
unless there is still a great deal of
Gotten to come forward. In some
cases, notably at New Orleans and
Houston, receipts show an increase
extending up to even 100 per cent,
as compared with those Of the CORE
spending date last year.
The government theory OF crop
not exceeding 100000 bales will have
to be abandoned soon unless the in
creased movement should prove tenn
porary. But even If the crop should
go to 10,50o,00O bales, present prices
are low enough, for the world needs n
crop OF that size. No one now looks
for a crop exceeding 10,500,000 bales.
Secretary Hester's figures covering
the first four months of the cotton
year, up to January 1, show that the
total crop in sight at that time was
6,604,943 bales, as against 6,575,343
bales last year, when the crop proved
to be 10,400,0O0 bales. Texas contrib
uted less in the four months by 426,93S
bales, but the Gulf States sent in 1884,
GAS bales more, and the Atlantic States
301,S90 bales moro than they did in
the first four months of the previous
cotton year. Up to January 1 Texas,
including Indian Territory, had mar
keted 1,945,091 bales. Her total crop
in the previous cotton year was g.
100000 bales; what will 1t be this
year? This is the most Interesting
question in the cotton trade. The de-
crease thus far is 426,93S bales, and
the weight of opinion seems to favor
an estimate of 100000 bales as the
total Texas crop. 1t will not be easy
to make up Texas deficiency of $780,
900 bales in the other States, and this
leads most experts to estimate the
crop below that of the previous cotton
year.
