Chinese Drugs-
The employee in the office of the
appraiser of customs yesterday were
busy examining a shipment of Chi«
nese medicines, and the place smelled
like a fertiliser factory. There were
the usual number of dried snakes, the
looks of which would be certain to
kill er cure any intelligent patient
Tbe-e were also a number of plump
lizards, spitted on rods and expanded
with slips of bamboo till they resem
bled tennis racquets; a lot of “sea
horses,’* a long, slender fish with a
bead like a horse and a prehensile
fail; bundles of centipedes Battened
out and pasted on sticks; cans full of
preserved pollywogs and
and many other curious panaceas,
each of which smelled worse than the
other.
There were pills as large as prunes,
handsomely decorated; roots and
•‘yarbs” of many kinds, which would
paralixe a Quaker doctor, and boxes
and bottles of unknown mixtures that
would paralyse anybody The forty
separate and distinct smells of the
town of Cologne are nothing compared
to the odors arising from SIOO worth
of Chinese medicine, which made some
of the men handling the stuff sick.
Foul smell seems to be a requisite in
most medicines, and if the beneficial
effects of medicine are proportionate
to its odor the medicines of the Chi
nese should be the test in the world.—

They Like Thqjn ata Distance- _
It has pot beep so many years since
Lovejoy, Lincoln and other Illinois
Republicans made their -voices heard
through all the land in behalf of- the
negro—particularly the negro of the
South. The other day, when a train
load of negroes, who were being taken
from Alabama to that state to work
in the coal mines, were fired into by a
crowd of striking miners, and quite a
number of them killed, the act bad
the approval of Republican Gov
ernor of that alate. How times have
changed I
Os course, Governor Tanner did not
say that be was glad that the negro
miners bad been attacked by lhe
strikers and some of them killed, but
be said that the negroes bad no busi
ness in the slate and that the com
pany, which was instrumental in
bringing them there would, in all
probability, be indicted. He made it
quite clear that no negro laborers
were wanted in Illinois.
He is a typical Republican. He
has use for the negroes about the
time the Republicans bold tbeir con
ventions and at elections. At other
times be wants the negro as far away
from him as it is possible to keep
them. And that is about the feeling
of the Northerners generally.
But they lose no opportunity to
make an outcry about the treatment
of tbe negro in the South, ignoring
the fact that tbe negro, when he goes
North, gets much worse treatment
than he ever received in tbe South.
They were Nortbeners who, at tbe
meeting of railroad men in Atlanta
tbe other day, wanted all negro work*
men on Southern roads dismissed—
dismissed was not exactly what they
wanted; they wanted them driven
from lhe roads.
As a matter of fact the negro has
very little chance at tbe North to get
ahead in tbe world. There are but
few occupations open to him there.
There is much talk-in that section in
hie behalf, but tbe talk means that
there is a disposition to insist that the
Southern people shall make greater
concessions to tbe negroes than tbe
Northern people are willing to mskr
to them. Will tbe Republican party
of Illinois repudiate Gov. Tanner’s
treatment of the Alabama negroes?
It certainly will not Tanner repre
sented fairly tbe spirit of that party. —

The Mew Cotten Bales-
Messrs. Latham, Alexander A
in tbeir very interesting cotton pub
lication just gotten out, have a reada
ble article on tbe new method of
baling cotton which io expected to
revolutionise the cotton trade of the
world, Tbe principle of the Lowry
cotton preee io dew, simple, and attrac
tive. The Lowry bale is about 36
inches long and 18 inches in djameter,
of cylindrical form and hollow
core. Il io built up from the bottom
tn layers and the air io excluded from
the cotton just ao it leaves the gin.
Its density io about 47 pounds to the
cubic fool; tbs density of the steam
compress square bale is about 22|
pounds; more than twice as much
cotton la compressed io the same space
of tbe Lowry bale as can be put io tbe
square bale under present methode.
The Lowry bale weighs about 250
pounds. It io tied by lour wires about
the size of telegraph wires; lhe weight
of bagging and tiea is 2| pounds and
the tare on each bale is reduced to 1
per cen;. Tbe density of tbe bale pre
vents the absorption of water below
tbe surface and the fibre of the cotton
is said to reach the mill In better cons
dilioot han cotton packedby tbe steam
compresses.
The Lowry press has a capacity of
from 1,500 to 2,000 pounds of cotton
an hour and is operated by from 10 to
15 horse power. It is argued that tbe
new process enables the farmer to be
entiiely independent of (he steam
compresses. The giunar completes
tbe work of ginning and compressing
the cotton at the ginnery and at the
same time he can turn out a bale in
perfect form for the foreign or domes
tic consumer and for which he secures
a higher price. The cotton no longer
goes by one haul by the railroad to
tbe compress, there to be unloaded,
compressed, reloaded and reshipped.
The advantage to the buyer of the
Lowery bale are that be gets a pack
age for which the mills have offered a
premium; he pays less for storage
of tbe small bale; it can bo packed in
cars or steamships much more- easily
and secufe tower freight rates, and
the liability of fire is reduced to a
minimum. Tbe Lowry people say
that tbeir package must secure for
the farmer at the very outset a better
price for his product,—Macon Erect
ing News.

Flag Floats in Porto Rico-
Washing tom, OsL 18 —The United
'Slates is now formally in possession of
lhe Island of Porto Rico as sovereign.
The war department has received
tbe following:
“Ban Juan, Porto Rico, Oct. 18.—

have been raised on public buildings
and forts in this city and saluted with
national salutes Tbe occupation of
the island is now complete.

* Wheatfields of the Future.
■ No doubt the opening of the wheat bear
ing regions of Siberia to settlement will
compel revised estimates of our own con
tribution of this cereal to the markets of
Europe if not tbe amount grown for home
use. The London- Post publishes an ac
count of the progress of the Tranmiberian
railroad in which It is asserted that by the
end Os next month the road will be own
plated as far as Irkutsk, and that tbe Rus
sian government will transport 800,000
peasants to fertile belts along the road for
the purpose of cultivating wheat. At the
same time railway communication with
the northern seaport of Archangel is being
made, with the object of aiding cheap cul
tivation by cheap transportation to the
European markets. The government will
aid these peasant colonists with imple
ments and will require only a tithe of their
produce as rent. The result of this ex
periment is practically certain to cause a
change in existing wheat areas. -
Russia has been our chief competitor in
the Liverpool market hitherto, although
Argentina and India have also been assert
ing themselves, but the new aoeeaslon of
wheat growing snawffi give Russia an
advantage difficult to offset. Unless our
agricultural interests are prepared to meet
the threatened competition serious times
are ahead for those farmers of the west
and northwest whose chief source of
wealth is their Wheatfields.—New York
Commercial Advertiser.
