STILL AFTER TROUBLE.

That man Castro seems to really be up against a hard proposition, no mat ter how we look at 1t. He complains, so 1t is stated. that he hasn't money enough for his needs, and If that is true it would seem that he didn't car But it sems that he can't get any funds from Venezuela unless he goes back after it himself, and as they have established government there which doesn't recognize him in an official ca pacity, or in any other way except as a deserter, it is plain that going back may not be altogether pleasant We do not know what the laws and regula- tions of the country are. and it may be that If he would go back as a private citizen he would not be molested as long as he would be good.
 But being a private citizen apparent ly has no attractions for Castro He would in all probability make a bad job of it. And the intimation is that he has neither the desire for such a role nor the intention to undertake it. In plain words 1t is given out that he is going back home to start another revolution. "Revoluting" is in his line. he likes 1t; besides. there's likely to be money in 1t. If he could organize a revolution and carry 1t to a successful issue. he might again become dictator or something else and get another chance at the public money chest. That last consideration, we suspect. is the one that has most weight with him.
 It is at least probable that this tur- bulent character will have a short and unpleasant experience if he goes back to Venezuela and undertakes to start a revolution; that is. If he Is caught And yet there Is no telling how such a move on his part would end. Like all South and Central Americans the Ven ezuelans are always ready for excite ment. and It is quite lik ely that Castro will have a large following if he can get into the country and have time to gather his adherents together and ef- feet some sort of organization 10 begin with.
 So far as Castro himself is concern ed we do not know that it makes any difference to the world at large what

 While speaking to the question on one occasion, Uncle Joe" became so earnest and emphatic that he fell to pounding the shoulder of his nei irhbor with his first, no doubt thinkinr ha was pounding his desk. Baker stood It awhile. but finally he took m n large DOCK, and placing 1t on his shouider, asked Uncle Joe" to hit on that. The House roared and eood feeling was restored.
 This was the second time in the history of the House that such a thing mad happened to save the day for peace. in one of the Congresses preceding the Cisii War bitter political fight had resulted in an all-night session and several hundred ruined tempers. The He was passed. and a mix-up followed In which Galusha Grow of Pennsylva- nie, and Keitt of South Carolina were the chief participants. Barksdale of Mississippi sought to play peaoemaker. and In the melee his wig was knocked off. In his excitement, Barksdale nut his wig on hind part before. and the ridfculousness of his appearance caused the threatened riot to end in one huge guffaw.
 As viewed by the historian, tho Mo Kinley law was not the success as a revenue measure that might have been expected. One of its purposes was to reduce the revenues of the Treasury. but in trying to carry that purpose into effect the framers of the law went too far, and the end of the Harrison administration found the Treasury in such condition that a bond issue shortly after MT. Cleveland entered the White House for his second term was Inevitable. Indeed, 1t Is a matter of official record that Secretary Foster of Mir. Harrison's Cabinet, ordered thu plates made for the bonds that were afterward issued by Secretary Car lisle. All fiscal experts concede that the exact effect of a tariff law cannot be foretold. A reduction of the GUS toms receipts. accompanied by an en- hancement of the degree of protection, had been sought, and the framers of the Mckinley tarin had gone beyond the limit of safety in the former ob- Ject, If not in the latter.
 While the Mckinley bill was pend ing. there was continued effort on the part of the Democrats to get be- fore the people their prophecy that the Mckinley tariff would result in high prices everywhere. They did not con- tent themselves with generalities, but set down specific increases that were to be expected. Events-in some meas ure Justified their prophecies, and tho verdict of the people against the Mo- Kinley bill was the most emphatic ever delivered against any tariff law up to that time. But it was not the final verdict The court of public opin- ion was to reverse itself again. If the sin of high prices was to procure the of the Mckinley law, hard times was to be the undoing of the Wilson act.

Was it ambition or patriotism that induced Charles D. Norton, of Chicago. to accept the position of Assistant Sec- yetary of the Treasury2 MT. Norton. who is thirty-eisht years old, is gem eral agent of the Northwestern Insur- nnce Company at a salary of fifty thousand dollars a year. He has been offered a position at a still higher sal- ary if he would go into the banking business. but he gave up not only his present high salary. but his prospects for something still better. to take an onerous and responsible sub ordinate government job at a yearly salary of s4.50o. or but little more than one twelfth of the pay he was getting. Was 1t ambition to hold a government po- sition that influenced him, or was 1t a patriotic desire to put his knowledge of finance at the service of the coun- try? Whatever may have been the deciding motive in his case he did what few young men would do under like circumstances, we judge.

Nearly all the depots along the old lines of railroads are sit uated from a mile to a mile and half from the business centers. 1nvestlga- tion will show that in a majority of instances the citizens objected to the cars being run any closer to the town because they were afraid the engine would run over the children and chick ems and also scare the horses to death.

AFTER THE DODGERS.

Speaker Cannon. according to a dis patch from Washington, proposes to hold Congressmen to their job, while the special session lasts. at least. It is intimated that some of the members only attend the session when it suits them to do so. and they say that Uncle Joe will see that each member who fails to attend the sessions, and has no good excuse for his failure, will lose his pay for each and every day he Is absent. There is law for 1t, as contemporary points out, in an act passed in 1856 which authorizes the Secretary of the Senate and the Ser geant-at-arms of the House to deduct from the monthly salary of each mem- Der the amount of his salary for each day that he has been absent for any cause except sickness of himself or some member of his family.
 This is the law, and as we under- stand. 1t is still in force and may be applied whenever 1t Is considered necessary and proper. While its en- forcement by MT. Cannon would bring down on him renewed charges of ty- ranny and one-man power it is pointed out that both MT. Reed and MT. Crisp, while Speakers, resorted to that meth cd of dlsciplining members who failed or refused to attend the session. called for specific and important purpose, and the work should be completed as soon as possible. The members are paid for their services, just as any oth- CT man is paid who works for an an- nual salary. and they have no better right to absent themselves without good cause than any other employe has, The law. as we understand 1t, is both explicit and mandatory. and though it has not often been enforced. so far as we are aware, We cannot see where a member has a right to complain if the penalty for attendance is imposed on him. Why should not the Congress- man who plays hockey be disciplined?

Every body in a free country like ours agrees that the Governor should not be the lawfnaker and that the courts should not be dependened upon for that service. As matters now stand.

Once A HebIt.
Will Plant TOO Acres in Corn.

DemOpoIlS Times.
 When Captain John c. Webb, the most extensive farmer in Marengo Gouhty told representative of The Times few days ago that he would P1aht Ioo acres in corn this year, we Ieit good all over. Then when he potato contest, We felt that if such men would compete for the prizes and thus set good example in diversified ton to the smaller farmers he was do- state.
 Captain Webb's own horses and mules. about 300 head, will consume perhaps 15,000 or 10000 bushels of grain has cost him between $5.00O and $lo,OO0 more than he could raise 1t for Corn from the west at fifty cents and corn from the west at eighty-five cents to s1 are two very different proposi- tions. We believe that Captain Webb and others of our farmers can make corn, any fair year, for less than forty cents bushel. The western farmer says he must have at least sixty cents for his corn. He used to sell it from fifteen cents to forty cents. but those days have passed. For the Alabama farmer to try to make nine and ten cents cotton on $1 corn, is like going up a perpendicular pole without using ones hands or feet It can't be done. We rejoice to see our large planters deciding to make their own corn. That means the smaller ones will follow suit.
 We hope our saw mills sell more lumber this year for repairing and building corn cribs than they have for the past ten years combined. The pro- ducton of corn. sufficient for the needs of our farmers and the cities and towns in the state. for a few years, and then continued, spells perpetual prosperity.
 Tn addition to what we have said above. we desire to call attention to the fact that this heavy increase in corn acreage on the part of Captain Webb, means about ten or fifteen per cent decrease Sin his cotton acreage. which fact itself means much to the farmers of the South. if all will fol- low his example.
