THE SOUTH BEING ROBBED.

On Tuesday, November IA, Judge
Emory Speers charged the Federal
Grand Jury at Savannah, Ga, that 1t
would be its duty TO investigate and
determine whether cotton bears
have been active in the southern
district of Georgia, and to frame
their bills accordingly.
In connection with this action OF
Judge Speers it is stated authorita-
lively that when few days since
Congressman Allen of South Caro-
lima informed Attorney General
Wiekersham that, as alleged, bear
pool had deliberately depressed
prices on the New York Cotton Ex-
change some three cents pound,
thus robbing the Southern producer
of an amount approximating $780,
100000. that this official blandly re-
piled that he has no knowledge of
such a combination; in other words,
as says the Atlanta Constitution,
the Department of Justice admits
that it sees but one side OF its job
that OF proceeding against attempts
to maintain prices, or to prevent
their reaching lower levels. OF the
ofher-equally as important, that OF
safeguarding the interests OF the
producers against speculative bear
raids-it knows nothing. No doubt 1t
regards that feature as of so trivial
Importance as not even to study the
legal side of it.
1.-THE Attorney General, inevitably,
convicts himself of one of two
things: OF being bull in china
shop, ignorant of the requirements
of his high office, Incompetent to
discharge them, or OF possessing
such ineradicable mental and moral
bias shat he looks, square past the
mission-massed producer and sees
only the interests of the market
thimble-rigger. For the prosecution
he has taken to the Supreme Court
was based on the complaint OF

TO protect this precious crowd
it can dig, delve, find legal grounds
and evidence. To protect the pro-
ducer-it can find nothingl 1t is q
fragrant. a strange admission, to
come from a department assumed
to enforce, impartially, the laws Of
this country. Coupled with the re-
port that some Of its high officials
previously sustained important con-
nections with the New York Cotton
Exchange, it points the impartive
duty of Congress to probei The
sfamelessness of the thing is nom
partisan.
IF the Department of Justice is
going to abandon the American pro-
