THE ayTI.oPTIoN SOUTH.

II IS jmpossible not TO be amused at
the indignant protests that are coming
from the South because of the govern
ment's inquiry into the cotton pool. For
years the South has been crying out
against the cotton exchanges AMI
against dealing in futures. The specu-
lators were the enemies OF the cotton
grower. They held the price of cotton
down. cheated the farmer of the fruits
of his toll and kept the South impov-
erished. Anti-option movements had
great support, and the anti-option bill
before Congress this year was finally
limited SO as to apply only to cotton
options, such legislation being demanded
only 10y the Southern and southwestern
members Of Congress.
Yet when the government inquiries
into bull speculation in cotton on the
ground that there is conspiracy to
hold cotton out of the market and thus
initiate prices a wall goes up throughout
the length and breadth Of the South.
THE government is acting with the
New England cotton bears" is the COM
plaint. 'It is helping the enemies of
the South" Protests fill the Southern
newspapers, and Southern Congressman
and cotton brokers are kept busy read
ing kilograms from the indignant South.
But If the South had had its anti-option
laws this bull movement that IL looks
upon as its salvation could never have
taken place at all. The South. which
would make law IN aton snecTlatipu
altogether, is almost beside itself be-
cause the authorities inquire whether
the present speculation has not over
stepped the bounds of such laws as al
ready exist.

To the Editor Of The Tribune
Sir: The agitation in musical circles
caused by that violin now on exhibition. as
reported I'm Wednesdays Tribune. at the
104th street police station as "S.rad'
constitutes a pathetic evidence OF the Grass
ignorance CT some New Workers.. r don't
know what kind of music dealers there are
around that neighborhood who could not
give a definite opinion as 20 the genuine
ness OF the instrument, nor do I know
Lieutenant Davis. who offered the inscrip-
tion in the violin-"Antonius Stradivarfus
Cremonese. faciebat ammo 1730''-as a mark
Of value. but I would like to know Lieu
tenant Sullivan, who said that a similar
fiddle could he bought in Ireland for 30
cents. 1 think his price is a bit low, even
for an Irish fiddle. but he's all right as 20
the "Strad" part Of IT,
For years, all over :his country. rural
end urban. these fake violins have been
circulating. until now the veriest 'rube'' is
hep" 20 the fraud OF that and similar in
scriptions put into viollns by maIefactOrs Of
great names. Some of the makes are no,
altogether bad. and might be worth 81 or
so, hut "Strads" are not picked up I'm hall
ways or from tramps at any such prices.
Every ''Strad'' is known, and one will sell
at anywhere from 5000 up. Amatis, Stain
ers and other famous makes are forged I'm
the same manner. though Stradivarius
seems to be the most popular brand TO fake.
BE these things as they may. IL the 1O4th
street station people want to determine
what there is In that inscription. let them
go over into Jersey. or some other small
"rube" resort, and try TO sell their ''Strad"
as a genuine instrument. Maybe they VIII
get back to little old New York alive. but
the fiddle won't. The "rubes" Of long ago
paid money for their knowledge OF such
violins. and their descendants have not for
gotten. They hone to get even.

~ THE LIGHT OF A RECENT
INCIDENT

y
Republicans in the legislature at Al
bany-some Of them. at least-appear TO
be making one last stand against the ap-
plication Of the direct primary system
To state Offices: why we are not able
TO see We do not recall that IT has ever
worked well in regard 10 nominations
for smaller political units and i'll in re-
gard TO nominations for state tickets.
Nor do we believe that public sentiment
would be satisfied with a law which re
tained the convention system for state
nominations and decreed the direct svs-
TEN for aH other nominations
If we are not mistaken. the one Incl
dent that more than any other gave
point TO the demand for change was
the doubt that for n long time existed
two years ago whether the Republican
machine would venture to defy the over
whelmins public sentiment Of the state
and refuse = denomination 10 Governor
Hughes. u was that more than anything
else which opened the eyes of the state
10 the irresponsible power possessed by
political mschinists and showed the need
Of reform. It took pressure from the
federal administration and the aroused
sentiment Of the whole country to turn
the organization from its purpose, and a
determination began TO be formed at that
time 10 take this power away from IT.
Now, this was not any mere local Incl
dent, but statewide incident. and the
public viii bear it in mind in forming its
opinion as 10 whether a direct primary
system that applies only to local offices
is satisfactory.

A NEW DEPARTURE.

The Assembly's amendment 60 the
graft inquiry resolution permitting a
person charged with official misconduct
to be represented by counsel and TO sub
pdpna, examine and cross-examine wit
nesses will introduce a novelty into the
coming investigation. Hitherto legisla-
tive inquiries have been entirely er
pdFte. Persons accused before leSisia-
tive committee could not summon wit
nesses in their own behalf, and counsel
looking after their interests were pres
ent only on sufferance. This has doubt
less resulted I'm some injustice. and
perhaps the fact that only one side of
the story was told has led TO some dis
counting Of what was brought out st
hearings. but the interests of expedition
seemed TO require that method of pro
cedure.
The experiment involved In the As
sembiy's resolution causes doubts. \
general investigation such as that pro-
posed would probably he protracted,
even If conducted in the usual CT pdrte
way, but if any official or ex-ofticial
who is reflected upon in the course of
it NAV cross-examine witnesses and IN
sist upon having his defence heard the
inquiry may become endless. The proc
ess Of the investigation may become so
cloeged with cross-examinations and
with testimony in defence that its pur-
pose of obtaining the facts may be de-
feated. 1t is conceivable, on the other
hand. that if TOO much time IS not
wasted on technicalities. cFoss-examina-
tions. explanations and denials the
effect Of the inquiry may he strength

The Egyptian Assembly took plenty Of
time for its consideration of the pro-
posal for an extension of the suez Canal
franchise. but the decision was suff-
ciently emphatic when It was finally
given, the proposal being rejected by a
vote of &c to I. II will be remembered
that the plan was TO prolong the fran
ohise for forty years for =: bonus Of
S2Ooo00oO to be paid by the company
to the government and also an in
creased yearly royalty. The Egyptian
government favored the extension. and
might have adopted II without reference
to the Assembly. but II voluntarily sub
mitted Il to the Assembly and bound
Itself to be governed by the latter's de-
cision. great many things may. Of
course. happen in the next half century.
and II might be rash 70 assume that
the action now taken would be irrevers-
1ble at a time when all the present
members Of the Egyptian Assembly had
been gathered to their fathers. But If
the policy which has now been adopted
is maintained, the result will be that on
November Il. 1858. the concession will
expire and the canal will become the
property Of the Egyptian government. 1t
would be a gigantic object lesson in the
practical application of the principle Of
limited franchises. and nobody is likely
TO. shed many tears over the loss sus-
tanned by the company in thus being
compelled to surrender its property. see
ing that for many years its yearly net
profits have been 25 per cent Of its cant

but after they had entered it the chauf-
