one morning several years before
he became President of the L'nit-}
ed States. At the {urther end of
the Madison avenue car were its’
only other passengers, several|
saucy specimens of the genus
small boy. They tittered and
whispered as they noticed the fu.
ture President’s great size. Then
they became bolder and said to
each other something about being
*fed on yeast.,” Mr, Cleveland
seemed to be much amused at the
impudence of the lads. Yet, as
they left the car at Thirty-fourth
street, he could not resist a joke at
their expense: *‘lt's a pity, my
boys," he said, ‘‘that your moth.
er couldn’t have fed you on yeast.
Perhaps you'd have been better
bred.” |

MR. PARKER'S COMHENT
‘“The governmental expenditure last
year mounted up to five hundred and
eighty-two millions, which is not equal
led by any year since the civil war, with
the exception of the year of the Spanish
war. Instead of a surplus in the annual
receipts of about eight millions, which
the present executive found en assuming
control, there is now a deficit to be found
of forty-two millions. There is an in
evitable result to such extravagance.” —
Judge Parker's speech to the democratic
editors.
PRICE AFFECTED BY RECEIPTS,
Into every cotton market in Georgia, as through the cotton belt,
farmers are pouring a wealth of bales just now, says anexchange.
Never before has the crop been gathered thus early and at such
rap’d r:ltq'. and the surprise is that prices have allalong remained
above ten cents under such condition. And while farmers are
selling the great buik of the crop at prevailing prices, there is
no question that with concert of action it could be made to bring
millions more to the producers. There is now no question of
the crop being a moderate, not to say small one, compared to
what was expected two, or even one month ago. The whole
spinning world is depleted of cotton; must have cotton no matter
what the cost. The present crop can be made to average atleast
12 cents if not 15 cents per pound to the growers, if the growers
will gin and sell cautiously. If only half the cotton picked each
week is placed on the market and the other half held back, either
stored in warchouse, when money must be obtained or stored on
the farms either ginned and baled or in the seed, there would be
no glutting the market for November and December, which is
the very condition the speculators want, in order that they
may be able to buy now what will be in active demand the world
over, at much higher prices after January 1. Allthat is neededis
concerted action and backbone to force the markets to respond to
conditions never so favorable to be controlled or adjusted for the *
grower’s interest. It is all ready for the farmers’ action, and
concerted action will control the crop movement and prices fqu;‘
cotton and seed, and give the producer the benefit heretofore al
ways received by speculative middlemen. The cotton «rp now
being harvested can be made the most valuable crop ever gather
ed if the farmers will act in concert and on similar lines

ENFORCE THE VAGRANCY LAW,
Just now the larger Southern cities and smaller ones too for
that matter, are suffering from a congestion of negroes, thousands
of them flocking in from the country, not to seek work but to live
by their wits, says the Americus Times-Recorder. Memphis, es
pecially, with a negro population of fifty thousand, is up against
aserious proposition. The streets and saloons are crowded,
while the demands for labor from every direction are increasing.
The planters and employers of common labor are unable to ob
tain men to work, the housewives of the city want servantsand
laundries want laundresses, but even extortionate wages do not a
vail. How do they live when they stop work? It is quite cer
tain that the white people will not forever tolerate the system of
allowing their kitchen servants to feed these idlers from the back
door, The execution of a good vagrant law will not only be a
good thing for society in general, but the negroes in particular.
Indeed, for all idlers white and black. A man who has no visible
means of support should be made to work, for work is after all
the best guaranty of good conduct. If all the towns, counties
and States should operate together on this line, the labor ques
tion would be quicklysolved and some of the phases of the race
problem would be simplified. Crime would become less fre.
quentand the friction between the races growing out of crimes
would be moderated. As Memphis scems to be the Southern
city most affected with idle negroes, lel the officials there see
what they can accomplish in the way of enforcing the vagrancy
laws. It would beanobject lesson for other towns and cities and
perhapsa general system of abolishing vagrancy may be success
fully put in practice throughout the South Manifestly, the
South is no place for idleness, certainly not for an idle negro. A
negro who declines to work should go North, for up there the
people don't want him to work. In the South the case is dif
ferent,

'THE OLD FAITHFUL SUBSCRIBER.
I Newspaper men have no more
| pleasant experience than the an
nual visit of the ‘‘old subscriber,”
He is as certain to come as the
winter is to roll around and when
his genial face lights up the door
way and he says “howdy-do” you
know it meansa big dollar for his
own subscription, and probably
another for his brother out west,
The new subscriber is sometimes
a doubtful quantity, but God bless
the old. After they have comein
regularly for fifteen years and

Dear Sir: If you paint two
houses alike with two different
paints, and one takes twice as
much paint as the other, you
know which paint to buy after
that—so far as go-far goes—do't
you? :
One of these paints is Devoe;
the other is any average paint.
The worst are worse than that;
the better are not much better; no
other paint than Devoe is any
where near Devoe in go-far. De
voe is go further; the rest are go
short go-middling and go three
quarters.
