 MT. Parker is bent on giving the na- tional administration a whirl on the score of it's contributions from the corpora ticns Courtesy requires that the Presi- dent return the compliment. If the judge would waltz the President, the President should waltz the judge. Then all hands around, and what lively dance will it be when democrat keeps republican stepping and republican demo- crat to the tune of the Sinews of politics.

Bliss, he might caper energetically to the same strains The judge should be able to get up good glow to the stately meas ures of some Tammany farrago.

Fifty Years Hence.

In 1860 the south made but 4,699, ,000 bales of cotton. This was the last crop grown under the old system of labor undisturbed by war troubles. In fifty years the crop has been trebled. Why will it not be trebled again in the next fifty years? In other words, why will we not be growing half way down the century forty million bales of cot ton year?
 Every year justifies the position of the south as the producer and control Ter of the worlds commercial cotton crop. None of the experiments made in cotton growing by England, Ger many and France have resulted satis. factorily, and the mills in Lancashire have decided to buy 5000 acres in Louisiana and Mississippi with a view to the doing away with middlemen in the cotton trade. From the farm to the spindles is to be the new plan, and 1t will be watched with great interest in all parts of the south.
 America is growing today three quarters of the worlds crop, and the indications are that this fine propor- tion will be maintained in the next fifty years. Thus basis for southern

SQUAW FISHERMAN.

From Grover Cleveland's new book
 Fishing and Shooting Sketches
 It has sometimes been said that fisher men cannot be manufactured. This is true to the extent that nothing can sup ply the lack of certain inherent, consti- tutional and inborn qualities or traits which are absolutely necessary to a fisherman's makeup. Of course there are many who call themselves fishermen and who insist upon their membership in the fraternity who have not in their veins a drop of legitimate fisherman blood. Their self-asserted relationship is never theless sometimes seized upon by mali cious or ignorant critics as permitting the assumption that the weakness and sins of these pretenders are the weaknesses and sins of genuine fishermen; but in truth these pretenders are only inter lopers who have learned little fish lan- guage, who love to fish only ''when they bite" who whine at bad luck, who be- tray incredulity when they hear d rous- ing fish story. and who do or leave un- done many other things fatal to good and regular standing. They are like certain whites called squaw men, who hang about Indian reservations, and gain cer- tain advantages in the tribes by marry ing full-bloded Indian women. Surely no just person would for a moment suppose that genuine Indians could be treated fairly by measuring them according to a suuaw-man standard. Neither can gen. uine fishermen be fairly treated by judg- ing them according to the standards pre- sented by squawfishermen

MIR. LOWS TAXES.
Ex-Mayor of New York Pays City a
 Large Sum of Money.

From the New York Times.
 No one will be much surprised that ex-
 Mayor Seth Low has paid to the treasury
 of the city s2700O or more for taxes he had erroneously thought when he made out his statement of taxable prop
 erty that he was not legally bound to
 pay That is precisely what any one who
 knows him would expect him to do, and to do with the utmost promptness and readiness. The point of peculiar public
 interest in the transaction is that the
 tax law is in such condition that a
 gentleman of MT Lows knowledge and
 his business and official experience, earn estly desirous to pay all that he ought
 to pay was unable correctly to tell how
 much that was, and was finally forced
 to secure the trained judgment of prom
 inent lawyer to solve the puzzle for him.
 The considerable sum he now volun-
 tarily turns into the city coffers is not
 at all conscience money, for he was ut terly unaware of his obligation; It is
 merely the needless penalty imposed upon
 him by the complexity and obscurity and
 extreme technicalty of the tax laws.
 Had the law been plain, he could with
 entire justice and delicacy have taken the step he took later which exempted
 him from liability.
 It seems that five years since MT. Low deducted from his personal property lia- ble to taxation a mortgage for $400,000 on property belonging to him. The mort gage was made to secure a bond which
 was not his. In 1903 he assumed the bond,
 and the deduction then became legal He calculates the taxes he should
 have paid previous to assuming the bond and the interest thereon at the sum he
 has now sent to Mr Metz. Had he known that this action on his part-in assuming the bond-would have released
 him from legal liability he could, of course have adopted it at the outset and
 saved this sum. Or had he done as prob ably ninety-nine out of u hundred citi-
 zens would have done. paid in 1902 and in
 1903 on what he was taxed for. there would, as he remarks, have been mo legal obligation either substantial or
 technical to pay more." He has chosen the highly honorable course of paying what he would have paid had he con- strued the law in 1901 as he does now He says
 .sThe law that constrains me to such ac- ton. because the mortgage upon my prop erty did not secure my own bond. seems to be very inequtable, and l shall be very glad if this incident does something to bring an amendment to the law
 That is a mild way of putting it. The law in regard to the taxation of mort aages. even in it's revised and improved form, is still ineouitabl and the tech nicality of which Mir. Low has been the victim is an aggravation of it. Let us hope that his hope o1 amendment will prove well-founded.
