Rossini's witticisms dubbed forth
at all times and under all circum-
stances, says Musical Opinion. On
one occasion gentleman called upon
him to enlist his aid In procuring for
him an engagement at the opera. He
was a drummer and had taken the
precaution to bring his instrument.
Rossini said he would hear him
"play," and 1t was agreed that he
should show off in the overture to
"Semiramide."
Now, the very first bar Of the over
ture contained q trelnolo for tho
drum, and when this had been per-
formed the player remarked, Now

was seventy-two he facetiously In

IN BALTIMORE
Ordinance Enacted Providing for Sepa-
ration of Whites and Negroes.

There was enacted recently in Balti-
more an ordinance which has been ap-
proved by the mayor, which not only
prevents negroes from moving into
blocks now inhabited exclusively by
white people, but does not allow them
to have churches or places of amuse-
ment in white blocks.
Unlike the old ordinance, it allows
blocks in which white persons and ne
grOes are living to remain mixed until
they shall become totally inhabited by
either negroes or by white persons.
1t will be contested in the courts by
the negroes. The trainers Of the meas
urc are confident that it will be declared
constitutional, as they say it applies tC
both races alike. 1t will be made al

THE BAn0lNd TRUST
Unless Checked Will CO Deeper Tito
the Pockets of Southern Farmefs.

A determined effort IS to be made in
Congress to have bagging placed on the
free list. In the United States Senate
Senator Williams of Mississippi is to
lead. Commenting on this attempt at
larceny under the guise of law, the At
anta Constitution says:
unless Congress intervenes, the cot.
ton farmers of the South will be sub
jected to a process that is hardly less
than highway robbery through partic-
ularly mean and grasping trick recently
turned by the American bagging trust.
Already this greedy monopoly is pro
tccted by a duty of 6-Ioth Of cent per
square yard or 3-4th cent per running
yard on bagging for covering cotton,
composed of iutc, jutC butts or hemp.
Even that impost lays a heavy burden
upon the cotton producer, out Of whose
pocket comes the cost of covering cot
ton. And that is not to mention the
1872 cents duty on every bundle of cot
ton tics, while binder Irvine comes in
duty free.
But this precious trust was not salts
fed with the loot already awarded it
under the Paync-Aldrich tariff law It
must needs 60 down deeper into the
pockets of the Southern farmer. The
hold-up is being accomplished by a de
vice as contemplate as it is ingenious.
The present tariff so operates that if
foreign bagging contains some jute mill
waste or other fber it must pay As per
cent adj valorcm, instead of the smaller
tax above cited.
Now, the trust has singled out the
product of three of the largest foreign
mills, as not composed of jute, jute
butts or hemp, and therefore subjected
to the incomparaby heavier impost
Unfortunately, the board of general
appraisers of the customs has upheld
the contention. So that, to feed the
nav of this monopoly, the Southern
farmer must prune his hard-earned
profits from cotton growing.
The dodge, and the hardship it visits
Upon large percentage of deserving
Southcrners, is about as infamous as it
is possible to imagine. II is pocket
picking subterfuges Of this nature, and
the spirit of extortfon in which they are
conceived, that go largely to explain the
clamor for tariff revision throughout the
country. Congress can cut the ground
from under this licensed larcey by put
ting bagging and ties on the free list
| Already there is bill on the House
calendar, introduced by Representative
Bartlett of Georgia. looking to this end
1t should be among the first measures
| put through when the Democratic ma
jority takes up general tariff revision.
"The levying of the primary duty on
bagging and ties was without legitimate
excuse. The attempt of the bagging
trust to further bioat its profits is {
gouge that is particularly indefensible. y
