RAIAsHINGToN, Dec. 2O.--Abhorrent

WASHINGTON, Dec. 20.-Abhorrent
conditions under the despotic
administration of Zelaya in Mic
aragua, have shocked the morals and
have been a disgrace to civilization,
declares Representative Adair of Indi-
ana, in "a joint resolution introduced
today directing the United States to
recognize Estrada as president of the
republic of Nicaragua
ut is the duty of the United States"
reads the resolution, 'tand the United
States does hereby demand the arrest,
trial and punishment of Zelaya by an
impartial tribunal in Nicaragua for the
wilful murder of citizens of the
United States, an ample apology from
Nicaragua and such reparation as may
be just"
The resolution follows in the foot
steps of a Nicaraguan measure re-
Gently introduced by Representative
SulZer of New York. Both measures
will be considered by the foreign af-
fairs committee of the house.
Representative Hardy of Texas, in
addressing the house today in support
Of his resolution asking for the in
vestigation OF printed charges of cor
ruption of members of congress and
the subsidizfng of the press in con-
nection with ship subsidy, vigorously
assailed the papers that had printed
the charges. He said he had no idea
that member of congress had been
bribed in connection with ship subsidy
hIf Vu1t
not ito allow itself to be despatched"
without investigating the subject. The
public ought to trace the sources of
these foul charges, said Mr. Hardy.

Tomorrow holiday adjournment for
two weeks will be taken.
Aside from the confirmation of the
name of Horace L. Lurton of Tennes-
see, to be an associate justice of the
supreme court of the United States,
the principal feature of the senate
proceedings was speech laden with
optimism and good cheer for the
Christmas season by Senator Depew.
The address of the New Yorker was
called forth by what he characterized
as the pessimistic predictions in Sen
many newspapers as to the tariff eff
fects and as to the waste of natural
resources.
For the first time since the Fitz-
gerald rule providing fol "unani-
nous consent" calendar was adopted,
that rule was invoked today in the
house and one joint resolution MAX
ing available small appropriation

river and a bill of local interest were
passed Representative Mondell Of
Wyoming spoke at length against the
proposition to give the federal govern
ment control of dams and water rights

A West Point Prank.

Writing on ewes t Point before
the War" in the Metropolitan
Magazine, General S. w. F'ergu-
son tells how Fitzl gh Lee loved
to play pranks:
Fitz was alway' ulost popular,
full of fun and re ady for any dev-
ilment. Once dur ing the encamp-
ment we were bt 9TH under arrest
for some caper, and, as was Gus
tomary, we had. to march to the

The Future Of Cotton.

Southern interests are demand
ing an extension il the uses Of
cotton. On this subject the At
lanta Constitution says:
If the country merchant. whose
interests lie with the farmer,
when he buys a hundred pounds
of sugar or some other product,
will demand it in a cotton bag, he
will get it that way without ad-
ditional expense and at the same
time, contribute to that extent to-
ward increasing the value of cot.
ton by increasing the demand.
The farmer who needs a rope
should call for a cotton one where
it will answer the purpose. Cot
ton twine should be in daily use
in every mercantile establish
ment in the South.
After all is said and done, it is
demand that is going to do the
work.
Cotton bagging upon cotton
bales must ultimately come, and
the producing South should now
be working more diligently to
that end.
Decreased tare alone will al
most, if not quite, make up for
the difference in cost between jute
and cotton, added to the increas-
ed value Of cotton itself, it will
more than do it.
The new year should witness a
determined and vigorous cam
paign for the more extended uses
of cotton.
The South must get away from
the losing policy of selling Its
greatest crop for le are price
Of production.
This can be done IN only one
way, which, in last analysis, is
the proper regulation of the sup
ply to the demand.
1t is possible to decrease the
supply and it is possible, like
wise, to increase the demand.
But there must be proper CO.
ordination between the two or,
through over-production, disas-
ter will come upon the producer
The difficulties of holding down
the supply are we'll known; the
possibilities in building up the de-
mand are great.
There is much in the future, if
the producer viii out reach out
and take it.
But this success IS dependent
at last largely upon his own ener-
gies and his own efforts.

amazement and CONSERVATION
Fitz jumped one side: picked up
a round stone and sent it bowling
along the fagstones close by the
general and was back in his place
as rigid as any one in a second.
The old general stopped, looked
up. then around. There was moth
ing in sight but the squad Of the
guard. He could not imagine that
the stone came from such a source
and resumed his walk. We had
not gone more than few steps
when Fitz repeated the perfor-
nance, saying on each occasion
as he got back in his place, 'sHa,
old big general you can't catch
me-" By this time we had passed
the front of the chapel, and the
general was out of sight. The
last glimpse I had Of him he was
looking around for the source
whence came the rocks. / have
often wondered what would have
been the thought of the corporal
had he known what was going on,
and l have wondered, too, what
report he would have made l
was badly scared, [ must confess,
but it was nevertheless very fun
ny. One must have known the
pompous old general to be able
to realize how indignant he look
ed at the carelessness of any one
allowing a rock to be thrown so
near him, the commander in chief
to the army. A short time after
at the grand ball always given
before striking campfor barracks
F'itz walked up to the general,
introduced himself and had quite
an animated conversation with
him

"0u to Richmond. /"

Senator Bacon, of Georgia, has
suggested that the proposed Lin,
coin memorial highway should ex'
tend from Washington to Rich
mond rather thar from Washing
ton to Gettysburg, as has been
planned. We agree with: the Co.
lumbia Record that Mr. Bacon's
suggestion is eminently proper
and is in accord with fhe ::eter-
nal fitness of things. The capital
of the United States and the capi-
tai of what was once the South
ern Confederacy thus bound TO-
gether by such a highway would
not only he a most striking mem
orial to the man whose consum-
ing desire was to see the union
restored, but it would be an en-
during monument of the fact Of
such a restoration, freed of all the
misunderstanding and bitterness
es that provoked separation and
a fratricidal war. The building
of Lincoln highway from Wash
ington to Richmond would be an
.'On to Richmond" march in a
sense entirely different from what
that cry meant in the sixties.
Then it meant war, the shedding
by kinsmen of kinsmen's blood:
now if haply this peaceful move
on Richmond is made, it means
for coming generations the tan
gible sign of new order OF
things-union in the bonds Of
fraternal love, peace, and a JOY
Gus common destiny. So, we say,

coin memorial road.-Orange-

A Good Problem.

The Geneva (Neb.) Gazette

paper, the Adams County Record,
published at West Union. Ohio,
in which a fish story that has
caused considerable 'iggerin.' is
published. The problem is as
follows: Work out the fol-
lowing problem Withoutany help.
and report to this Office. Charley
met his friend James upon the
street and told him that he had
been fishing. How many fish did
you catch" asked James. Charley
replied: If to the number of books
of the Old Testament you add the
number of books of the New Tes
lament: multiply that by thenun-
Der of apostles who were present
at the TRANSPORTATION: divide by
number Of books written by Luke;
subtract the number of times
the Israelites marched around
Jericho; multiply by the number
of pieces of silver Judas received
for betraying Christ; divide by
the number of spies Moses sent
into Canaan: add the number OF
letters in the name of the city in
which a man climbed up tree to
see Christ; divide by the number
of apostles that were called the
Sons of Thunder the answer
will be the number of fish ]
caught The problem has caus.

Unity to sit up and get busy aud

answers to the same. If you are
