We are willing to confess that President Harvle Jordan’s plan for boosting the price of cotton and for helping the farmers looks very nice upon Us face, but lr. Is a question of doubt whether it will bring perma nent goo 1 or not. Benefits that are not permanent, or rather, benefits that draw In their wake correspond ing disasters are a kind that the wise men do not want. They are too much like the house that was built upon the sand. Mr. Jordan's plan, if we understand It, is to withdraw a half a million bales of cotton from the market’s of republican bosses who consent. |>os slbly with reluctance, to pick du good postmasters who have local po litlcal influence. In the republicai states the senators and represe Ha fives are kept in perfect harm hi: wth the throne and In enthusiastic favor of administration measures by the Judicious use of the postoffice'ap pointing power. Were it not so, tbjere would be lively times in Washington in a jiffy. * i Mr. Cortelyou, therefore must have been playing upon Mr. Curtis' credul ity In unfolding the beauties of (the alleged nonpolitical postal system of the country. the world by carrying it over to the next season. He proposes to get somebody to buy that cotton an I withdraw it from the market until cotton reaches the price fixed by the cotton growers association. This cott./n Is not to be burned or thrown Into the sea, but It is to be kept on hand for sale early next season. The result will be that there will be probably twice as many bales of cotton to be withdrawn from the mar ket next year in order to boost the price. If there should be a little legs demand, which is likely to come, or a little increase in the acreage, whl c h Is bound to follow nn Increase in prices, no matter how It Is brought about, the cotton growers will be In a worse condition than they are at present in the matter of prices. They may have to sell at very lowr prices the staple which it costs them a great Jeal to produce, and everybody know’s that It costs much more to rai&e cotton than it cost a few years ago,. Anything that Mr. Jordan may do to bring independence to the farm era will be hailed gladly all over the south, but there Is danger that tem porary successes may lead him too far In the plans which he adopts to carry his point. What the cotton growers need to understand most of all Is that cotton should be made solely* as a surplus crop; that It should be looked to as a surplus mon' ey crop and not as the crop for sup* porting the farmer’s family and home’ If the fanners mnke everything at -Uoujo SkiUAhey-nwft-nt liuinu, tltePO will be money In what cotton they raise, whether the price be high or low—and that system of farming will force high prices for cotton because it will reduce the yield, naturally. But If the farmers are going to de pend upon “syndicating” a half mil lion or more bales a year, they are liable to be overtaken by disaster at a time when they may be least able to bear. Such disasters always come at such times. NON- POLITICAL POSTAL SYSTEM Postmaster Getieral Cortelyou, or somebody, has unloaded upon Mr. William E. Curtis the absurd no tion that postofflee Jobs are no long er subject to party control, anJ Mr. Curtis has been writing extensively about the new order and Instructing postmasters how tney may best re* tala their pull. We are astonished that Mr. Curtis has permitted him- NEED MORE DAIRIES. It. is a little strange that Soiith Georgia and Florida are noted as nat- tie raising sections, and yet the ijbo- ple of these sections have to gen Jr to middle and north Georgia, Tennessee or the north, for nine-tenths of Lhe butter which they use. And the Re sult Is that the average man In /ids section—of those who buy b&ter from the stores—has not tnstea gen uine butter in so long that he dol?s not know what It tastes like. I We send out and get a pound paik age of butter from some of the stores —made by some fine creamery off to some other section—It has a golden color, looks excellent. ~lwt tastes no more like genuine butter (the kind you make at home) than chalk tastes like cheese. The fact of the busi ness Is that it Is not genuine butter. It Is doctored to give It color, to keep Jt from melting and to make it more profitable to the people who put It up. Occasionally, In some of the stores, you can get hold of a pretty fair quality of butter, but the average is what we speak of when/ we say that It Is not fit to eat. We have got In a habit of eating It and saying nothing about It—In fact most of us have not tasted genuine butter In so long that we do not know whether what w-e buy abroad Is good or not. Once In n while, you may .line out with,some neighbor who has a good cow’ and then you find out how butter ought to taste and how It would taste ^ there was enni^h^ M 'H THHflD 111 mis ^ectVon tc>'""suiTyy the demand. The local fairies have such a demand for their milk Fuat they cannot supply the market with butter. We cannot understand, though why some of the thrifty farm ers do not pay more attention to this kind of business. We believe th*-re is money In it at prices such as are prevailing here at present*. There Is money made on butter In other sections and It could be more easily made here, for the reason that the cattle can be more easily attend* ed to here. Pasture lands are more plentiful and everything Is right for the raising of fine cattle. The main hlng needed is attention to the bus* lness—care of the cows and then some attention to the packing and preparing the products for marker. OLD FASHIONED MOLASSES. The Interstate Cane Groweis held a convention In Mobile last Fifteen New- York policemen chas ed a business man two miles and shot at hint at every Jump, mistak ing him for n burglar. He realizes now that he was safe as long ns they were shooting at him. The innocent bystander Is the only person ever hit when. New York policemen shoot at a man. Tito men of the Burlington road engaged on Us extension through Wyoming, encountered quite a hill in their way. Rather overdoing the thing tn Its removal, they placed under It otto htiudrcd kegs of black powder, which was exploded by electricity. Tito resulr was not only Uto removal of the hill, but In Its place was loft ft hole In the ground that will cost more to fill up than It wviuld havo cost to dig away tho bill. Senator Hopkins, of Illinois, has introduced a bill in the senate re cently to Increase the scope of the pension laws as applied to widows and orphans of veterans of the Civil war. It provides that the widow of any officer or enlisted ntan who nerved ninety days or more, and whose annual Income does not ex ceed $250, shall receive a pension of $8 a month and $2 for each child uadcr the age of 16 years. It will be necessary to show that the husband died from the effects of wounds re ceived duriug the war. In case of crippled or imbecile children, they shall have the pension during life. self to be gulled Into the belief that any such reform has taken place, says the Houston Post.- He is an old resident of Washington, a correspon dent of long experience and could very easily ascertain how badly he has been fooled If he would investi gate. Since Mr. Curtis first exploited this reform, Hon. Cecil A. Lyon, the republican state chairman and Nat ional committeeman of Texas, has been to Washington and completely reorganized the postal service of Texas. Many Texas post mast era were relieved of further duty and Mr. Lyon’s favorites duly appointed, and It is on record that one postmas* ter was not reappointed because the complaint against him was "politi cal Inactivity." Only a few days ago Senators Spooner and La Follette had a dis agreement about the offices of Wis consin and submitted their differ ences to the president, mho recon' clled them. Mr. Spooner has one- half of Wisconsin under his Juris diction and Senator LaFollette the other half. Postoffieos are being daily filled in the same old way. In states like Texas, where the senator* and rep ro:<entat1ves are democrats, there are week, and just before they adjourn ed expressed by resolution their op* position to the color test for the pur ity of syrup sold for the table, main* tainlng that clarification by sulphur fumes introduces a foreign element, destroying the flavor of the syrup, and that it amounts really to an adulteration. , The Mobile Register says that the deficiency, can he better understood when it is known that 9«» per coat f the table syrups and "Loaoniauis of the table syrups and Ixmislnna malosses” sold today is composed of glucose and other substances. It says a case was reported to the con vention of two visitors to New Or leans being served with a colorless, sticky substance when they called for Louisiana molasses, which, upon analysis, was found to be composed of every element except sugar. And t the Register exclaims: "And this in a city having central sugar factories." In view of this fact, the argument was most, strenuously made by the members that there should be more cane grown tn tae south, so that the bogus products might be driven out of the market for the larger the crop the greater the probability that the consumer may be able to get the gen uine stuff when he calls for it, and stands ready to pay for it. Could consumers be assured that they could always get “Louisiana molasses” or Georgia cane syrup when they gave an order, the de mand would increase, very rapidly, and with but little question over the price that might be charged. But in many localities these delectables are in no wise attainable in their purity. —Macon Telegraph. Hoke Smith spent a great deal of time at Eastni&n in discussing the position taken by Col.

If the reports to the Atlanta Jour nal are true, Hoke Smith ought to bring his campaign to a close. The Journal claims the state for him by about ten to one. The next ime Grover Clevland is sick, it may take all his persua sive powers to convince the doctors that he was only joking when he made that speech. John W. Gates is In favor of the rate bill. This makes It necessary for us to read the bill again and see If It Is really a good thing. PETITION FOF. CHARTER.
