CURRENT COMMENT.

The Louisville Courier Journal (Dem.)
says: IF Great Britain should be in
volved in a war with Russia, France
as Russia's ally, would be on the other
side. British merchant vessels would
have to run the gauntlet of Russian and
French cruisers, and the combined
fleets of these Powers would give the
British navy abundant occupation
They could hardly control the ocean,
but they might make numerous cap
lures. But they would know better
than to interfere, further than interna-
tional law permits. with American
commerce. Such a conflict would af-
ford a pretty accurate indication of the
best reliance of Great Britain for a
food supply in time of war"
The Washington Post Ond.) says:
From a financial standpoint Russia
seems to be slightly handicapped at
the outset. While her population is
three times as great as that of Japan
and her resources large and varied, she
has been staggering under a national
debt that already exceeds So, 900, 900, 900,
or about $50 per capita, while Japan's
debt amounts to but $4.75 per capita.
| These figures are potent when consid-
cred in connection with applications for
large loans for war purposes. There
is every indication that 1t is the con-
sideration of these figures, with the at
tendant applications for financial sup
port from the banks Of the world, that
is delaying and may eventually pre-
vent a war climax to the strained sit
uation in the Far East
The Baltimore Sun Dem.) says:
Gen. Longstreets course after the
war did not meet with the entire ap-
proval of the great majority of his fell
low-countrymen in the South. But il
should be remembered that Gen. Grant
was his close personal friend, whom he
greatly loved. He had performed in
the old day conspicuous services for
the Union commander. They had been
comrades in Mexico. Grant was de-
voted to him. ana after the surrender
when Longstreet was ruined and pen
cue, and Longstreet could see no good
cause why he could not accept Office at
his hands. So far as politics were con-
cerned. Democrats and Republicans in
the North looked alike to the Southern
people. Both parties had united in the
invasion and subjuSation of the South,
and Gen, Longstreet could see no rea-
son why he could not join himself TO
the one as well as to the other. What
ever may be said OF the veteran who

THIS YEARS COTTON ACREAGE.

On account of the continued high
price of cotton the cotton acreage will
undoubtedly be greatly increased this
year. 1t has always been the case
that when the price of cotton was
high, and promised TO continue so for
several years, the cotton acreage has
been increased. The increase has been
due largely to the abandonment of
corn and other crops. Therefore 1t
is probable that less corn will be
planted in the South this year than
for many years. This is to be re-
GREETED for two reasons, namely, be-
cause 1t will be a return to the one
crop system of farming and also be-
cause it will doubtless result in a
yield of cotton, especially if there hap
pens to be two or three particularly
good cotton seasons, that will bring
the price of that product down to
where cotton will cease to be a profit
able crop
When cotton was bringing cents
a pound, and even less, all of the
Southern newspapers advocated di-
versified farming. The farmers were
advised to raise stock and grain and
to give less attention to cotton. They
took the advice and they have pros
pered. Their lands are now in better
condition and they have more money
than at any previous time since the
close of the Civil War.
If they will stick to diversified farm
ing they will continue to prosper, but
if they go back to the one crop sys
tenn they will find themselves strug-
Cling for cash to pay their taxes and
to buy supplies for their tables and
their stock.
OF course there can be a considerable
increase in the cotton crop without
forcing down the price of cotton to
a point where 1t would cease to be
profitable, but that increase is likely
to come from the opening Of new
lands by incoming settlers. If the cot
ton farmers turn all of their atten-
ton to cotton they will likely deprive
themselves of the prosperity they are
now enjoying.

RESPONSIBILITY ON TAMMANY.

In his letter read at the dinner in
honor Of Mayor Mcclellan, Mr.. Cleve-
land placed a heavy responsibility on
Tammany. He said that the impress
sive thought couldn't be evaded that
THE manner in which the Democracy
of the city of New York shall meet it's
municipal responsibilities will, in a
large. degree, determine the extent to
which our fellow countrymen, in every
part of the land, will be willing to
trust the Democracy Of the nation In
the broader fields of government rule"
There is much truth in this. There is
no doubt that there have been Tam
many administrations in New York
city that have hurt the national DEM
ocratic party.
There are Indications, however, that
the Mcclellan administration will give
ment as it has ever had. Indeed, there
are grounds for thinking it will give
it a better government.
Most of the appointments that have
been made indicate a purpose to APP
point to office only those who will give
the city faithful and conscientious
service and to prevent the evils which
have heretofore been the subject of
SO much complaint.
Mayor McClellans administration
will be watched closely, not only in
New York, but in all other parts OF
the country. 1t is a fact, as Mr.. Cleve-
land said, that many people judge
the Democratic party by the impress
sion which Tammany rule in New
York makes upon them. OF course the
Democratic party outside of New
York has very little to do with Tam
many. but that organization is such
strong one, and New York city has in
the past played such an important part
in national politics and is likely to
continue to do so, that the opinion of
Tammany rule in New York is GER
tain to have a good deal to do with
the fortunes of the national Demo-
cratic party. The letter of Mr.. Cleve-
land was, therefore, appropriate and
timely.

One Way to Foil Him.

Y1faoLo up Yer handsP -- --.--
The stocky-looking man thus adj
dressed made an effort to comply, but
gave it up, says the Chicago Tribune.
Il can't" he said. 1--WE got rheu-
matism in both of my arms. You'll
have to go through me just as l stand. .
The footpad, still holding the re-
volver at his head, drew him further
into the shadow.
Where's yer wad?" he sternly de-
manded.
ITS sewed up inside my Shirt"
the victim replied.
"Off with that coat and vest. thenl"
IN have to be helped off with 'em.
l can't do it to save my life"
The footpad unbuttoned the over
coat and pulled it off.
There was shorter overcoat under,
that, and it unbuttoned hard, but he
got it off at last.
But. there was still another coat,
equally hard to loosen.
Dang vel" muttered the highway
man. What do you wear SO many
clothes for?"
That's my wife's idea. She says
it helps my rheumatism"
The coat was skinned off with much
trouble and the next garment was a
thick vest with eight buttons.
The exasperated footpad removed
this, only to find another vest.
Tearing this off with d burst of muf-
fed profanity he found a wooden
sweater under it.
you'll have to pull this over my
head" said the other. There are
two shirts under it and my money
is sewed up inside the very last-hey,
policeman! Here's a holdup!"
For his quick ear had caught the
measured tread of No. 10 shoes Just
around the corner of the alley in which
all this was going on.
BY the speediest kind of work the
footpad got away.
Officer" said the belated pedestrian,
a moment later, please help me on
with these duds again, will you?"

WHAT WILL CONGRESS- nor

1t can be stated with certainty that
it isn't the purpose of Congress to do
much this session in the way of lcgis-
lation, beyond passing the appropria-
ton bills. And it isn't by any means
certain that 1t will pass a rivers and
harbors bill. 1t is said the War De-
partment wants appropriations made
for rivers and harbors. but the feeling
among the Republicans seems TO be to
cut down appropriations to the lowest
possible point. so as to make a good
showing in the presidential campaign.
No bills will be permitted to come up
that are calculated to cause the Repub-
lican party to lose votes. but any leg
islation that is likely to help that par
ty will be urged. The statement was
given out a day or two ago in Wash
ington that there wouldn't be any
anti-t trust legislation. The President
doubtless thinks he has already an
tagonized the trusts to, as great an ex-
tent as he can afford to by the suit
against the Northern Securities Com
pany. During this year the Depart
ment of Commerce will deal with
tiuStS, anu tIom all accounts IL VIII
deal gently with them. When there is
complaint that is likely to arouse at
tention against trust evil of some
sort there will be a publication of the
trusts affairs. In that way an effort
will be made to satisfy the public.
The chief work of Congress- from now
until the close Of the session, will be
TO manufacture ammunition for the
presidential campaign. We may ex-
pect a great many speeches, therefore,
on a great variety of subjects. II the
farmers are favored with an unusual
amount of this sort of literature they
will know that congressman are busy
serving their respective parties by
means of long distance oratory.

nineteen years and protected him from

has been retired on pension. At the

shook his hand warmly and compH-

dropped into his ear also word on
how much comfort there was to be
derived from religion. Then the man
who draws $4,000, 900 year dividends

With the burial of Gen. James
Longstreet to-day there passes from
view one of the last of the great fig
ures of the Southern Confederacy Dur
ing some years there has conferred
about him considerable controversy,
but in the midst of it all his ability
and his patriotism have not been ques-
toned. He may have made errors, as
all humans do, but he was a born SOL
der and a great general. AS a line
of battle commander history will give
him rank with the foremost in the pro-
fession of arms. There are many of
his earnest admirers who think that,
next to Lee, he was the ablest COM
mander of Confederate troops, and
there is much to justify that opinion.
His genius differed from that of the
brilliant and daring Jackson, but it
was no less genius; and his country
will remember him gratefully. What
ever of bitterness may have been
aroused by the controversies concern
ing him will stop at the brink of the
grave, and James Longstreet will be
remembered as the great American SOL
dier that he undoubtedly was.
