Reliability of Testimony.

The headquarters detective was TALK
ing about the reliability of witnesses
says the New York Sun. Suddenly he
turned his back on his auditors, looked
over his shoulder and said:
What color is the tie 1 wear?''
Most of them gave it up. One
thought it was blue and another black.
When all had had their guess the de-
tective turned around with grin and
showed a grey tie with black figure.
Now that's a point about evidence, .
he said. You've all been talking to
me face to face for ten minutes, and
yet you don't know the color of my
tie. That would be true with 999 men

WILL THE TARIFF BE REv1sEDs

Nobody seems to have any definite
idea as to whether or not there will be
serious attempt to revise the tariff
at this session of Congress. There is
great deal of talk about the matter
among congressman. and several tariff
bills have been introduced, one Of them
calling for tariff commission
to report upon the entire sub
ject. The President has given
to recommend, if anything. He did
not mention the subject in his mes
sage. The inference from his failure
to do so is that he intends to send to
Congress a special message on the sub
ject.
The feeling among the majority of
the Republican members of the House
is that the wiser course is to let the
tariff alone for the present. The New
York Herald on Monday interviewed
ninety-nine congressman as to the adj
visibility of tariff legislation at this
time. Seventy-seven opposed it and
twenty-five favored it. That proper
ton of Republicans against revision
would seem to settle the question as to
whether there will be any reductions
of the tariff in the near future.
Still, there is undoubtedly a strong
sentiment in parts of the country in
favor off reducing certain of the tariff
schedules, those particularly which
shelter trusts. 1t is not improbable,
therefore, that an attempt will be
made to satisfy this sentiment. Some
of the shrewdest of the Republican
leaders are talking in favor of bills
striking at certain schedules-popgu
bills they are called. By means of
them schedules may be reduced with
out disturbing the whole tariff law.
But, as already stated, there is moth
ing settled about the matter, and
nothing will be, in all probability, I'M
til after the holidays, when the Re-
publicans will hold a caucus on the
subject and endeavor to outline pol
icy. In the meantime, no doubt there
will be given out by their party leaders
a variety of views on the tariff,
the purpose of which will be to mys-
tify and mislead the public. If the
caucus decides that a reduction of GER
tain schedules is advisable the Pres
ident probably will send a message to
Congress on the subject, and in that
way the country will be prepared for
the legislation. But it can be stated
there will be no tariff legislation of a
radical character.

THE pLAT.r REFLECTION BILL.

Senator Bacon's letter to Mr.. Hard
wicke published in the Morning News
last Sunday, was doubtless based upon
knowledge which the Senator had of
the purpose of Senator Plat to intro
duce bill reducing the representation
of the South in the House of Repre-
sentatives. The BILL it is stated, was
prepared by the Committee on National
Affairs of the Republican Club of New
York. 1t would be interesting to know
how much the committee knows about
political conditions in the South. The
chances are it knows very little, but,
feeling it had to do something, it pre-
pared the bill in question and had
Senator Plat introduce it.
The understanding is that the basis
of the bill is the Acknowledgement of
negroes. That being the case, on what
ground is it asked that Georgia be de-
prived of three of her representatives
The negro is free to vote here in Geor-
gia. He isn't disfranchised. It is true
that the number of negroes that vote
is small, but then the number of whites
is also small. At the last election not
half the registered votes were cast The
people felt sure as to how the state
would go, and so a large percentage
of them remained at home on election
day.
But that has nothing to do with SEN
ator Platt's bill. The fact that those
having the right to vote do not choose
to do so affords no excuse for Con-
gress to interfere. AS stated, negroes
are as free to vote at any election in
this state as they are in any other,
and if we are not mistaken they are
not DISTINGUISHED in either Texas, Ten
nessee, Florida or Arkansas. 1t is
difficult to understand therefore why
these states are named in the bill.
There will be a great deal of discus
sion of this subject before the bill
comes to a vote, if it ever does come.
There is no probability that it will
come up for consideration at this ses-
sion Of Congress. What the outcome
of the discussion of the bill will be it
is of course impossible to foretell with
any degree of certainty, but there is no
doubt that the Southern people will
never again permit negroes to have a
prominent part in their municipal.

coon ADVICE NOW.

The advice of Mr.. Harvie Jordon,
chairman of the Cotton Growers Pro-
tective Association, to cotton farmers,
to hold their cotton, is good now what
ever it may have been earlier in the
season. There is not much probability
that the price of cotton will go lower,
while the chances are that, after the
present scare passes, it will advance
to cents, and perhaps more, pound.
1t may appear a little later in the
season that the government estimate
of the crop is too high. In that event
the price is certain to advance very
considera bly,.
Mr.. Jordon lays the blame for the
decline in the price on Wall street
spectators. Well; wasn't it Wall
street spectators who put up the
price last season to II. cents? Perhaps
when we come to think about it there
are just about as many Wall street
spectators who are anxious for the
price of cotton to go up as there are
that it shall go down. Just now those
who are betting for a decline have
the best of it, because the governments
report showed the crop Earger than the
markets of the world would take at
TO- or even 8 cents, a pound. If
information should be furnished to-
day that a mistake had been made
and that the crop was only IL 100000
bales, the price would advance at once
TO TO- and it may be to IL cents a
pound, and Wall street men who are
now betting the price will be lower
would Immediately begin to bet that
the price would be higher.
Occasionally strong syndicates are
able to put up or down the price of
cotton for a short time, but the price
is really made by the supply and de-
mand. The demand is pretty accurate
ly known, and when the supply is
known the price is soon approximate
ly fixed. That being the case, the
farmer who sells his cotton early in
the season does better with it oftener
than the farmer who holds for higher
price does with his.
1t looks now as il the cotton farmers
had grown a little too much cotton
this season if they want 10 cents a
pound for it. A 100000 bale crop
means about s cent cotton and a TO-
100000 or 100000 bale crop 10 cent
cotton. Cotton farmers should bear
this in mind in planting next season.
In a few years probably the world
would will take a 12,O0O.OOO bale crop
at 10 cents or a little better.

Thnt,s STRANGE.

There was a lawyer in B whose
name was Strange, and it was said
that never since he had started in his
profession had he told lie, says Tit
Bits. But one day he died, and a COL
lection was raised among those who
knew him for the erection of a me-
mortal stone, After they got it a dis
pute arose as to what would be the
most suitable inscription to put on it.
They all had something to say except
one individual, who did not seem to
take any interest in the matter, but
nothing seemed suitable. At last the
person referred to was asked what he
thought about it.

CAssAvA CAKES FOR DESSERT.
From the New York Press.

l.
New Workers are continually hunt
ing for something new to eat" said
the manager of a branch of one of the
largest grocery establishments in the
city. 'Cassava cakes are now the
rage. They resemble pancakes made
OF white cornmeal. but are as thin as
waters. They are put in the oven
and delicately Drowned and then but
tered. When they are served with a
cream cheese and preserves you would
have to hunt a long while to find a
daintier dessert.
You don't know what Cassava is?
1t is a plant indigenous to South
America, but in a small way it has
been raised in Florida for fifty years
without attracting much attention. The
united States Department of Agricul-
| ture has been strongly advocating it's
cultivation in Texas. The root of the
plant is all that is used in making
| these cakes, although the stalks which
grow three or four feet above the
ground and resemble a certain variety
of palm. are said to make good fodder
| for cattle. The. root grows three or
| four feet into the ground and it is
somewhat difficult to gather for this
reason.
| In the experiments in Texas this
| year, have been told, the farmers dug
| as much of the root with the hoe. as
| they, could and. then turned the intel
I ligent pig loose on the rest. The pigs
| like the Cassava root and it would not
| be surprising if they were trained to
| dig them out just as dogs hunt truf-
| les in France.
| The demand for Cassava at present
is so large that the farmers can make
| good money reasonably. One of the
| experts of the Department of Agricul-
| ture says that six tons of Cassava root
can be produced to the acre. This is
twice the tonnage of sweet potatoes.
1t is also excellent food for milk cows.
| In Florida. where the crop has in
| creased very much in the last few
years, dairymen say they would have
to go out of business if they could not
| get Cassava. The milk and butter are
| said to be better as a result of Cas-
| sava feeding than when the COWS are
| given any other prOVender"

writer at the head of the column of
troops in the grand review at Wash
