TURN ON The LIGHT.

Always seeking to appeal to un-
thinking prejudice and not to sober
reasoning of the voters, the Demo-
cratic party for the past fourteen
years has vainly sought for an issue.
a paramount but inevitably a top
heavy issue. on which they might
succeed in winning an otherwise
hopeless fight. They had free Bry-
anism, and this failed successfully.
Then they manufactured "Imperial-
ism," which also died a-borning.
Next they brought out the cry of a
tariff for revenue only, first uttered
by General Hancock in 1880, and res
directed to fit the occasion. This
cry hardly produced an echo. Now
they rant over the high cost of liv-
ing and blame this alleged fault on
the Republican tariff, a tariff that by
actual proof brings to the producer
and 1aborer better price for his pro-
ducts than was possible under the
low tariff of the Cleveland admins.
tration. In this State they add abuse
of personal type and make individ.
uals another issue.
Can there be found in any one Of
these so-called issues, or in all Of
them put together, a single iota oil

CROP LOSS PROVES SMALLER.
Southern Railway Head Says First Re-
ports Wore Exaggerated.

Washington, April 29.-Damages to
crops in the southern states east Of the
Mississippi River are not as great
as some Of the first reports seem to in
dicate, according to President Finley of
the Southern Railway. He said today
that reports show cotton and corn
have suffered in the northern two
thirds and the states of Mississippi,
Alabama and Georgia, but that farther
south these crops were not injured and
that farther north they were not far
enough advanced to be seriously hurt.
There is still ample time to replant
both cotton and corn" he said, "and If
this is done extensively the final yield
may not be greatly reduced Reports
indicate a general suspension Of cot
ton seed crushing by oil mills, with
view to conserving the seed for plant
ing. The peach crop does not seem
to have been materially dana ged. Mel
ons and canteloupes in southern Geor-
gia may have, to be replanted to some
extent. Strawberries suffered little.
No damage was done to fruits, vege-
tables or other crops in Virginia"

acquisition to famous cotton plungers,
is in New York graphing with the bat
tie of his life-a chance to lose many
millions, or, should luck be with him
again, richer in far greater measure
than he is now.
AS matters now stand things look
mighty dubious for the western specu-
lator, and close observers of the cot
ton market say that Patten faces the
most serious dilemma of his life. AS
the story runs, Patten is long 100000

Of the staple.

exchange for May deliveries. and the

If he loses he will lose millions, and
Patten, who has seen his way thru
other big deals, may go broke.
When interviewed Patten said: Il am
ready to take all the cotton that is ten
dered to me and pay for it. What
Scales and Brown are doing or are go
ing to do I don't know. its none Of
my business. I am here to attend to
my own business. have not the least
idea how much cotton is going to be
rendered to me, and I won't say how
much I have bought. do not look,
however, for any excitement in the

Denies Being Interested in Alaskan

Not Have Legal Business With Cum
ninsham Group Of Coal Men-Shows
Appointment Came From Roosevelt.

Washington, April 29.-Secretary
Ballinger- -Pinchot inquiry began this
morning, and his attorney, Vertrees, at
once launched into the direct examina-
ton.
Ballinger recounted the story Of his
career up to the time he became COM
missioner general Of the land office on
the earnest solicitation of President
Roosevelt, Secretary Garfield, and SEN
ator Piles. Replying to questions, he
said he knew of six Cunningham
Alaskan coal claimants at the time he
became commissioner; that he had no
interest in Alaskan or any other lands
but that he was the organizer of a min
ing company that had interests in gold
diggings at Nome.
Gives Lie to CLAWS.
Ballinger described how he reorgan-
ibed the'land offife. This was followed
by reference to the CLAWS testimony
that he and Ballinger had talked about
specific groups of Alaska coal lands.
This Ballinger denounced as "a will
full deliberate lie." He said the Cum
ningham land claims were listed be-
cause there was no protest In the rec
ord, and added that he would do the
same today as he did then. He de-
clared emphatically that he never had
professional or legal business with a
single man listed as Cunningham en-
trymen.
Witness denied he had ever inter-
fered in any manner with the CLAWS
investigations of the Cunningham
claims. Ballinger also said that, reply
ing to Roosevelt's request for an ex-
PLANTATION Of his differences with Gar
field. he made report to the then pres
ident, and that later Roosevelt said he
had embodied Ballinger's recommends
tion In his annual message, and that he
remarked that he guessed when Gar
field and Pinchot see it they'll go thru
the roof" but he guessed the "Roof was
strong enough to hold 'em."
