TO STOP THE GOVERNMENT CROP
REPORTS.

Word comes from Savannah
that at the July meeting of the
board of directors of the Savan-
nah Cotton Exchange a resolution
will be introduced calling upon
the government to cease sending
out reports upon the condition Of
the cotton crop, and asking SINH
lar eXchal ges over the country to
take the same action.
It is claimed that the Savannah
Exchange was the first to call at
tention to the leak in the cotton
bureau.
An official of the Savannah Cot
ton Exchange is quoted as saying
"The cotton men of the South
have lost confidence in the crop
bureau, If one man could give
out advance information for so
long and completely hoodwink the
chief of the department, there is
no assurance that it could not be
done again. Three departments
of the government have been in
yestlgated recently and each of
them found to be rotten. There
seems to be DO safety and no Sc
curity anywhere "

DRUNKNESS A CRIME.

Representative Flanders, of
johnson county, has introduced
in the Georgia Legislature bill to
make drunkenness crime. The
bill, as reported, makes it a mis-
demeanor, virtually, for man to
appear in public in a drunken
condition. 1t prohibits a drunk
en- man from appearing in any
public place, whatever, where
people congregation the streets,

That conscience does make cow
ards is admitted, but 1t is no less
true that it sometimes turns rogues
into honest men. Many great
public corporations nowadays
have conscience funds" Proba-
bly, it is needless, but we might
remark in passing that very little
is ever paid out from such funds
One of the most recent illustra-
tions of the working of conscience
is afforded by a former passenger
who RENTED $35 to the Sante Fe
Railroad because, in years long
past, he had beaten the company
out of transportation from Needles

The New York World has the
following very pertinent remarks
on the cotton-leak scandal: "But
why should the government be in
the business of issuing crop esti-
mates anyway? That is the real
question raised by the scandal.
The Department of Agriculture
will hardly pretend that the farmer
is really better off when it an
nounces ever so often that acreage
and condition show such and such
percentage of wheat or cotton. 1t
may be a convenience to brokers
in their speculations and bankers
In their credit calculations to have
the figures. If SO, let the ex-
changes and commercial agencies
prepare their own statistics. AS
a matter of fact, government esti-
mates never increased u crop by
one pound. They are used chiefly
to promote gambling in cotton,
wheat and corn"

FIERCE RAIDERS
BURN JAPANESE WAR STORES
cossaoks Make Hundred-MiIe Dash
From Near Mukden and Har.
ass Enemy's Rear.

st. Petersburg. Jan. 17.-Cossacks
have dashed from the war front near
Mukden. down the west bank of the
Lao river nearly 100 miles to New
Chwang. the great seaport of Manchu
ria. The Japanese garrison was
driven out and the immense war
stores at Yin Kow, a suburb, were
burned. After cutting the Japanese
railway, the line of communication to
the front, the daring raiders withdrew
before superior force and dashed
back to their base near Mukden. In
army circles this Is looked upon as
one Of the most daring raids in war
history.
A telegram from Siakhotan states
that General Mistchenko's raidinS
force, learning that five Japanese bat
talions had appeared near Tashikiow
returned northward and succeeded in
regaining the Russian lines. Their
losses were about 300 killed or
wounded, all the latter being brought
away.
General Kuropatkin, In dispatch to
Emperor Nicholas reporting the Rus
sian cavalry raids on January 10th and
11th says.
"The japanese suffered heavily. The
Russian losses during these two days
were three officers killed and ten
wounded and fifteen soldiers killed and
forty-nine wounded"
The general adds that the cavalry
captured quantity of stores and pris-
oners and says that the japanese
stores at Yin Kow were ablaze for
nearly the whole night OF January
18th.
The text of General Kuropatkin's
dispatch follows:
During the evening of January 10th
one and half companies of Japanese
infantry and half a squadron of jap
anese dragons were defeated with
great loss.
"On January 11th, Japanese COM
pany and two squadrons, which were
occupying New Chwang, were driven
out by our Cossacks, who occupied the
place, and afterward pursued the COM
pany, defeating 1t and intiicting heavy
loss. The same night our patrols dam
aged the railway line, telegraph
line. train and two locomo-
tives. During these two days
our cavalry defeated several
small detachments and captured one
officer. fourteen soldiers and 500 carts
with stores. Our casualties were three
officers killed and ten wounded, and
fifteen soldiers killed and forty.nine
wounded.
"On January 18th our patrol dam
aged the railway six miles from Yin
Kow. On January 18th. at 3 p. m.
Russian detachment reached Yin kow.
Our artillery cannonaded the station.
set fire to the stores and later stormed
the station. The japanese opened fire
with rifles and machine guns and our
men sought shelter in bitches and
again attacked until they reached the
railroad line, when a strong column OF

THE PHILIPPINES
REPORT OF THE COMMISSION
People Generally Paeified Except
Moros Who Adhere to PoIysamy
and Slavery,

Washington, Jan. 16.--The annual
report of the Philippine Commission to
the secretary of war says that as soon
as the people came to understand that
the government had both the ability
and will to protect them, they began
to cooperate cordially with the con
stabulary and other peace officers by
| giving information against the lawless,
| so that 1t became possible to kill or
| capture them.
As a result, the report says, not a
single organized band of ladrones is
now to be found in the island OF LII
| zon; nearly all the leaders save five or
| six have been killed or captured, and
| the same may be said of the Visayan
| islands with the exception Of Samar
| The commission adds that there is no
reason to suppose that orderly condl'
| tlons will be otherwise than perma
nent.
The relations between Americans
and Fillpinos are said to be generally
cordial. with steady growth OF con
fidence and good feeling between
| them.
"All those who are justly entitled to
be called leaders of public opinion
among the Fi-aos," the report says
have definitely cast their lot with the
| Americans"
Regarding the Moros, the report
| says the great area OF the Moro prov
ince, which includes practically all Of
the Islands of Mindanao and the Sulu
archipelago, except for $4,000 Filipinos
spoken of as descendants of convicts
sent from the north by Spaniards, Is
inhabited by Moros protesting Mo
! hammedanism and by other non-Chris'
tian tribes. The authority of the Sui
tan of Sulu was found, upon investiga'
ton. to be repudiated by dattos In the
Sulu archipelago who possessed as
much authority as he, although he was
the titular head OF the Moros. The re-
| port says:
From time immemorial the Moros
have practiced polygamy and have
been accustomed to make raids upon
other non.Christian tribes to replenish
| their stock of slaves, as well as to en-
| gage In piracy, while the Arabs taught
them the use of firearms. The non
Christians were only too willing to rec
ognize American authority and receive
the benefits Of protection. In mum
ber of instances they have been In
duced to establish themselves in vii
lagos and to Till the adjacent soil
They are said pot to be lacking In in
telligence."
In speaking of the abrogation OF
the treaty with the Sultan OF Sulu the
report says: While II had never been
recognized as valid and binding, and
as to the provision relating to slavery
had been repudiated by the President,
still It had been lived up to by the
Americans in every particular. includ'
ing the payment OF annual subsidies
to the Sultan and his principal dat
tos. but II had been systematically and
persistently violated by them"
The report says that pacific pol
icy toward the Moros seemed to give
them the impressions that the Ameri'
cans were afraid OF them. but short
decisive campaign gave them to under
stand that the Americans not only had
the purpose but the power to support
authority and to enforce order. There
Is no reason. = 1t is added. ito expect
any further trouble with the sulu
Moros."
