s4Afi6n Of the Sherman antitrust act on the part
III the men carrying on stock operations for the
purpose of advancing the price the cotton will
be heartily approved in the South.
Is As soon as the proceeding was instituted,
ssycral newspapers in the cotton belt with one
accord expressed the belief that it was instl-
sl1ted By certain spectators and New England
|annnfacturers who were caught short of cotton
n rising market. At least, said they, it was o
6lsAnge thing that in all the bear raids of
El6e past when the price Of cotton was depressed
4 manipulaiotn to the injury of the cotton
rowers, the government had not interfered in
HlaE game but was prompt to act when the
hAa succeeded in whipping the bears

Convicts and OPERATE crimeracks.

D Ii is impossible to please some editors Miss
{;eraldine Farrar, a professional opera singer,
recently sang for the convicts in the Atlanta
lpenitentrary and gave them a number of ia
niliar ballads Annie l. aurie Comm
Through the Rye, Home Sweet Home" and
0thers. The convicts enjoyed the music heartily
and many were moved to tears. Editors gen.
era1ly commended the singer for her generosity
and Miss Farrar got all the praise and adver-
Using she could reasonably have desired 1t has
Remained for the St Louis Times to find fault.
H seems to that critical contemporary much
more sensible arrangement to sing Annie
laurie and ''Comin Through the Rye" to
people who pay for what they get, and reserve
the grimcracks of art for people who are locked
.np. and who have no temptation TO make a
break for liberty
"a That is strange logic. Those who attend
grand opera at 80 per seat do so deliberately and
En they are punished they have only themselves
TO blame. But to corral body of convicts and
force the grimcracks down their throat whether
Or not punishment beyound the lawful
sentenee We think that Miss Farrar took the
\ humane view and her merciful conduct is worthy
IF cummendation

The Pardoning Power.

Governor Mann is overwhelmed with petit
lions for pardon and we have sincere sympathy
with him. He is gentleman of warm heart
and tender mercies and to be importuned contin-
ually to save the life of some man who has been
condemned to die must be terrible strain upon
him.
1t is too much of burden and too much OF
responsibility to be put upon one State official
and too great a power We reached the con-
clusion long ago that the pardoning power
should be vested in board. There are OBJ
iections to this, but after all is said the balance
is in its favor.
