terest in fine poultry. It has set people
to thinking and talking of the possipili-
ties of the business, Every breeder and
spectator present knows more about
poultry than he did before. Many breed
ers found ready sale for their poultry
at good prices, while other breeders
we're enabled to secure improved stock

CAMPAIGN CONTRIBUTIONS.

Senator Tillman has introduced
a resolution calling for an inyesti-
CATION by a committee of both
branches of Congress into the con-
tributiOns by national banks to
the campaign funds of either OF
the parties. Other members OF
Congress have proposed bills to
prohibit all such contributions by
any corporations. They have the
effective aid of the President in
this task. In his message he de-
clares that call contributions by
corporations to any political com
mittee, or for any political purpose,
should be forbidden by law"
These words will be quoted by
every orator in each house who
speaks in favor of shutting off
abruptly such contributions
hereafter. 1t is all right, too, that
they should claim the President
as being onitheir side, as he is, for
the Presidents influence goes a
long way toward getting the legis.
lation which is aimed at.

1T APPLIES WELL TO COTTON

which the general public holds

CONSUMING TIME IN CONGRESS

Beyond enacting laws to extend
the scope of Federal control OF
transportation, which the Presi-
dent demands, it is not likely that
this congress will do more than
transact routine business. 1t will
provide for a continuation of work
on the canal, for the maintenance
of the army and navy, and tie
civil branches of the government,
and then do nothing except to
make political capital. 1t will not
greatly irritate the people by at
tempting to grant ship subsidies
or to promote other schemes calcu-
lated to increase the unrest among
the people. Nor will it go very fa1
in the direction of alarming the
cOrpz-sations and trusts by enacting
laws abridging privileges which
ShaVe made them powerful. 1t may
enact a railroad bill which the
railroad corporations are opposing,
but it is not likely that the meas
nre, when it comes to the President
for approval, Will be one that will
greatly incense the railroad mag
mates. The tariff will be ignored,
except as the minority may agitate
It, and the session will end with
cry little accomplished that will
realty agitate the country.

NOT TRIED sY THE SAME LAW

Discussing the insurance scan
dals, their causes and effect, the
Wall Street Journal, which is not
the sort of journal which to many
its name implies, is led to the con-
clusion that there is too much
truth in the charge that there is
one law for the rich and another
for the poor, and that such a con
dition is calculated to breed the
germ of social and political revolu-
ton in this country. The eight
dollar a-week clerk who steals
petty sum goes to prison. "When
his term expires every door of
reputable employment is closed
against him. There is no hope
and no opportunity for him." But,
"How about the rich man who
uses his power to make profit at
the expense of others, who steals
in lordly way, who votes himself
thieving salary, who violates the
law, who juggles with figures, who
doctors books and who makes false
statements to the Government De
partments having the power of SUI
pervision? Are such men as these
punished? Are they arrested and
tried for violation of law? Are
they expelled from the Chamber
of Commerce and other reputable
associations of business meme Are
they Ostracised by society?" 1t is
not enough, says the Journal, thar
these great offenders should ego
They should receive the punish
ment they merit at the hands OF
the law. This isnot the utteranct
of yellow or sensational journa
seeking popular applause, but th'
thoughtful expression of fnan
cial hub of the continent, a jour
nal that is conservative and with
out the suspicion of ignorance. Il
voices a sentiment that is wide
Ispread.

THE TOBACCO OUTLOOK.
This Years Crop Said to Be Lacking
In Body,

Loose tobacco sales at Danville. Va, last
week showed an increase over those OF pre-
ceding weeks OF the new tobacco year. The
offerings afforded q better insight into the
quality of the new crop than has hereto
fore been obtainable. showing that 1t Is
lacking In body and character. 1t Will be
disappointing to those looking for waxy fl
lers or heavy wrappers. OF course. some
of these grades are to be found on the
breaks, but they are far from plentiful. The
thin, slazy stock predominates very largely.
Prices continue to advance on low-grade
leaf and Tugs and also on the finer grades
Medium tobacco continues to sell relatively
lower than any other grade 1t is conceded
that the delivery win be an early one.
At South Boston, Va, breaks Of leaf To-
bacco continue to increase In volume some
thing like 10000 pounds now being sold
weekly Prices are steady, with demand
good for all grades. The average price paid
recently Is 81 cents, though fancy wrappers
and ripe, sweet filters are bringing old-time
high figures The crop on the whole Is
showing up much better than was expected
At Durham, N. c.. receipts Of leaf to-
bacco continue to increase. the sales some
days reaching nearly $4,000 pounds, and
the prices are firm. with upward tendency
Some few piles OF fancy wrappers have
brought 80 cents per pound. and the average
price paid for all grades recently Is little
over cents II breaks continue heavy as
now seems probable, most OF the crop will
be marketed before the beginning az the
new y4ak.
