The New York Post files a pretty strong indictment against Congress and the President when 1t declares single tax for the benefit of the Fili- pinos, but it managed to clap an odi- ous new tax upon them. The legisla- tive record of 1t is given in full by The Indianapolis News. A bill impos- ing a tax of 100 per cent. upon the cheap grade of cottons which the Fili- pinos most use, was reported to the House on January 25; on February g, it was called up and explained" by Chairman Payne, and passed without a division; in the Senate. 1t was sent to Lodges Philippine Committee. and on February 22-fitting day!-was re- ported out and passed without ques- ton or division. Now. who originated this legislation, and with what motive? It was not proposed by the Philippine Government. It was stoutly opposed by our own collector of customs at Manila. But certain cotton manufac- turing interests" of New York asked for it On what ground? Frankly and brutally. on the ground that they could not compete with Englishmen In making this particular kind of cotton. as their looms were not adapted to making splits; therefore, the poor Filipino must be forbidden, practical ly, to buy them, and compelled to pur- chase the more costly American pro- duce. No meaner, greedier piece of Legislation has ever been enacted, but Congress passed it without debate, and the President signed 1t without q protest Yet we know, of course. that we are treating the Fllipinos with a generosity unparalleled In the history of colonizatJon-or of can't"

 Mir Conner is stating in his speeches that Dr. Cunningham. while acting Governor, refused his request to fur nish an Attorney to represent the State before the Commission was under the impression that 1t was Gov ernor Jelks who refused this request of Mir. Conner and referred him to the Attorney General Which Is rightY
 Very respectfully,
 The statement has, been made time and again that Mir. Conner applied to Governor Jelks for an attorney to rep resent him. tcomer) in eases before the Railroad Commission. The other two members of the Commission were satisfied with the Attorney General in case legal services were needed. there- fore, we use the words Ito represent him" Governor Jelks told MT. Conner that he had no fund from which to pay an attorney for such purposes, that the Attorney General was the States legal Representative in all cases, and that all departments could call on him and that Mir. Conner should do Lieutenant Governor Cunningham was never asked by Mir. Conner. or MT any body else to hire an attorney to so before the State Railroad Commission So far as we have heard Mir. Conner did not avail himself of his privilege of asking the Attorney General to ap- pear in cases before the Commission. Governor Jelks did the right thing when he referred MT. Conner to the States legal attorney and declined to grant his request to hire m outside lawyer and pay him for it.
 MT. Conner has recently gone round the Attorney General and employed an attorney to give his opinion as to the constitutionaiity of the present railroad commission law. The attorney gave 1t as his opinion that the law was invalid. The Attorney General has given an able opinion that the law is not invalid, but sound and strong. Mir Conner should hold with tho State au- thority until the proper judicial tri- bunal decides to the contrary. It looks a bit singular for a man to be at tacking the validity of the law under which he is holding office and which gives the Commission ample power to regulate railroad rates. MT. Co., mer's contention would throw the State back upon the old law under which the railroad Commission had only advisory powers.

He ay may street, but when a band plays Dixie" he simply has to yell; 1t Is the only way he can make people look at him.
 It is a pity that the real and genuine Southern gentlemen should be misrepresented and often made ridi- culous by these substitutes who were perhaps born and raised in New York, and have as little knowledge of the South and the Southern people as they have of tho North Pole. They know that the real Southern gentlemen who visit or locate in New York are liked and respected by New Workers, and they take advantage of this knowl- edge to play off. and to draw to them selves some of the respect and atten- tion that is given to the genuine Southern born and raised gentleman. They are arrant humbugs.
 The Mail declares that these Ora tuitous Southerners' are rarely seen in company with real Southern men. but that they create sort of atmosphere of their own, an atmosphere of far away romantic glories of old white pillared verandas. where aristocratic colonels sit drinking mint juleps all day" Well. there are many and var ious kinds of humbugs but this char acter seems to be in a class of his own.
