.nISGUSTED ORGANS.

The Parker organs are beginning &c
hedge on the importance OF the recent
action of the New York state conven'
tion in ipstructing for the silent Judge,
and show evidences OF deep disgust
that the democracy OF the country is
not disposed to accept the work OF
the Hill machine as a settlement OF
the contest for the democratic noml-
nation for the presidency. Since that
time SIX states have held conventions,
and not one of them has been swept of
its feet into the Parker column. Two
of them have positively repudiated the
Parker candidacy, and every one OF
them has sent either an absolutely I'M
instructed delegation, or else sent
them instructed for some other candl-
date than Judge Parker.
The Atlanta Constitution regrets
that
"Pennsylvania and West Vir-
pluia saw fit to refuse TO instruct
for Parker" and admits that "lt
MANY more states follow the lndef-
mite course Of Pennsylvania and
West Virginia it can readily be
seen that an unfortunate contest
may develop, resulting IN danger
to the party and jeOpardizlng what
New Yor5's action should nave
made certain.
The Savannah News, another one OF
our most excellent Georgia contempt
raries that has pulled and pulled ass1G-
iouslv in an effort to promote the
Parker presidential possibility, utters
this note of establishment and alarm:
Appointment democrats have ex-
pressed the opinion recently that
the Hearst movement would
amount to nothing, and there did.
not seem to be any reason why the
bottom shouldn't drop out OF 1t, as
it were. when the democratic con-
ventiOn of Mr.. Hearst's state in
structed for Judge Parker, but the
action of New York doesn't seem
to have had the effect of causing
him to abandon the contest. lie
is fighting for delegates as ener-
petically as he did month ago,
and it seems to be admitted that
he will get many delegates in the
west" |
The fight for delegates was really |
lust begun with the action of New
York, and it is as far from settlement
now as it ever was. Mr.. Hearst Will
90 into the convention with practically
a solid west and number of votes from
the south and the east behind him,
and The News does not believe that
those who predict he will lead all 9th
er candidates will suffer in reputation
as political prophets.

A CASE OF BLOW AND BLUFF.

The Atlanta Journal, in it's extreme
desire to boost it's presidential candi-
date, is misleading the public by
claiming for Judge Parker practically
all Of the delegates to the state con-
vention. The fact is, an overwhelm.
ing majority of the delegates are un-
instructed, and if the Journal is as far
wrong about all of them as it is those
of the second district great surprise
is in store for the Atlanta organ. 1t is
becoming more evident every day that
when these representatives of Geor-
gia's democracy meet in Atlanta on
June l they will be there in the inter.
est of the party and not as parti-
sans OF some man who wants to be
president.

IN SPITE OF THAT CAUCUS.

The representatives of that old
crowd OF pouters and fretters we have
had in the second district the past sew
eral years who recently held a secret
caucus In Albany and planned to cap
ture the delegates to the state and
national conventions, put a period TO
the political prestige OF certain proml-
nent men, squelch the ambitions
of Others and otherwise cut gay and
risky capers in taking over to them
selves all OF the affairs OF the party,
have received q knock out blow. Del
egates have been appointed by the va
rious counties, and twO-thirds of them
are representatives of the conserVa-
tive and loyal democrats of the dis
trict. The leaders of the scheme were
not able to deliver even their own
counties.
If one or two more secret caucuses
In which whisper was almost bolster

that pair of jurists could have contin-
ued little longer, things would have
been unanimous against them.

oacoma, the seat of Lyman county,

Rosebud reservation. They are the
heirs of deceased Indians who had
been granted lands in severalty on the
Rosebud. and Judge Argo of Lyman
county is probating the estates in or
der that the heirs may become pos
sessed of the land. In all $50 estates
will be probated. About fifty similar
eases were disposed of a short time
ago.
The matter becomes of much inter
est because the heirs under the law
will be permitted to dispose of the
lands to the highest bidder for cash.
AS the minimum allotment is a quar-
ter section and in many instances a
section, the proceedings will result
in opening up to white settlement in
the reservation not less than 400
farms in the immediate future. The
Indians will realize a snug sum, as
the lands are among the best in the
state, and will doubtless bring from

in, favor of the plan. The advantages
afforded for graduate work at pres
ent are limited, SO that the plan of
establishing better facilities is of vital
interest to all who are interested in
the welfare of the university.
Should the measure be favored by

When cotton goes assoaring and one
looks around for the cause he generally
discovers that the price has a very close
connection with the production. Cot
ton is high, and find this condition
of the market a reflection Of last years
production. It is not probable that there
will ever be a more generally unfayor-
able year for cotton culture in the Unit
ed States than that of 1903. Toward the
close of the preceding year t1902) the
bureau pf, statistics. OF the United States
department of agriculture reported a
condition of the cotton crop, resulting
from insect ravages and u%nfavorable
climatic conditions in Texas, little short
of disastrous. But the season of 1903
has had as many ~unfavorable features,
and in addition the drawback that plant
ing was unavoidably uniformly thrown
from four to six weeks late. This was
especially unfortunate, as early planting
is the most important step in avoiding
damage by the weevil. Many planters
were unable to put in one-half of their
normal cotton acreage. The late plant
ing season was followed by very irreg-
ular rains. AS q rule, severe droughts
alternated with heavy rains. The result
would have been to cause a small crop
regardless of damage by the boil weevil,
and this was especially noticeable in CEN
trail Texas. Accurate figures are not oh
tainable, but statistics drawn from acre.
age and production indicate that the boil
weevil causes the amount of land re-
quired to produce a bale to be practically
doubled, and Upon this basis, it is esti-
mated that during the past season the
pest has caused the planters of Texas
a loss of fully SIS, 000, 900,

Gen. Plugs Report.
London, Feb. ga dispatch to a news
agency from st. Petersburg says the Of
fetal report of Maj. Gen. Plug, chief of
staff of Viceroy Alexieff. on the details
OF the attack on Port Arthur during the
morning of February %, is as follows:
The enemy's squadron of 16 warships
approached from the Dalny side toward
the harbor of Port Arthur at about
IL o'clock this morning, and at once
opened fire upon our three cruisers
standing outside in the roadstead, name
ly the Askold, Rayan and Novik, and also
against the land forts. The lombard
ment lasted half an hour. At its con-
clusion our cruisers retired into the har-
Dor. The enemy then bombarded one
land battery for some minutes. Then
the enemy also retreated, remaining out
of the range of our guns.
I'm the meanwhile four Japanese
cruisers separated from the enemy's
main squadron and went into Golubinsja
bay, where they opened a heavy fire upon
one of our torpedo boats stationed in the
bay and also upon the coast batteries.
Consequently the commander of the fort
sent troops to this point, but no land
ing took place. The bombardment there
lasted % minutes, at the expiration of
which time the Japanese cruisers re-
treated. The loss on our side this day
was,one man wounded in one of the land
batteries.
The officer commanding at Vladivo-
stock reports that on February "a early
in the morning ten of the enemy's ships
were seen south of the islands. They dis
appeared on the horizon in the evening""
