Journal reproduces to-day from Collier’s Weekly the views of Senator Bacon on the effect of the supreme court’s decision in the prin cipal Porto Rico case. The question, “What have we done to Porto Rico?” is answered by Senator Bacon in a very impres sive manner. He says that there is yet no tell ing how the decision will affect the Filipinos, as they are still under mil itary government, but he shows very clearly how hard are the conditions we have imposed upon the people of Porto Rico, who expected such man ifold blessings at our hands. He gives a succinct statement of the course of the legislation snd policy which led up to our present attitude as fixed by the supreme court. It is not a pleasing picture, and has few features we can view with pride. Senator Bacon calls attention to one effect of the supreme court’s de cision which we have not seen com mented on before. It is the fact that as the matter now stands Porto Ricans, though subject to our laws, cannot become citizens of the United States. They stand on the same plane as the Chi nese who were already in this coun try when the Chinese exclusion act wass passed. The Porto Ricon in his own coun try is a vassal, and when he comes to the United States he finds no provision through which he can take any part in the government he helps support. We discriminate against him as we do not against the negro from Hayti, San Domingo or the wilds of Africa. He has ceased to be a citi zen of Spain and cannot become t citizen of the United States. He is an outcast ou the face of the earth. Senator Bacon distinguished him self greatly in the debate on the question of the proper government for the people over whom we have assumed cont.ol, either by reason of our treaty with Spain or by force of arms.

Some facts brought out at the re cent Southern Industrial convention at Philadelphia show how large the south’s share is in the general growth and prosperity.- The south includes one-fourth of the total area and one- third of the population of the United States. Its cotton and cotton seed alone gave it an income last year of $545,000,000—the largest value of any single crop in the world. Its com and its lumber product brought it the snag sum of $300,000,000. Moreover, the south raises SO per cent of ail American tobacco, mines 20 per cent of all its coal, produces 18 per cent of its iron, has 30 per cent of its total railroad mileage and a steadily increasing percentage of its manufacturing. The growth of its cotton mills has been simply won derful. New England’s old suprem acy in this great industry is gone, probably never to return.—Ex. The Scheme That Failed. Mr. Ed Wight, the proprietor of the Belmont Poultry and Live Stock Farm in Cobb county, is building a large chicken house, 850 feet long by 60 feet in width, which he pro poses using for the purpose of rais ing chickens by process of incuba tion. The building will be brick, covered with a glass roof, and in size and style will be a duplicate of of the one on the Langhlin Poultry Farm, near Sidney, O. In this build ing was raised last year 200,000 chickens. Mr. Laughlin last year cleared $36,000 from the sale of chickens and eggs. Mr. Wight says that while he does not expect to do as well, he will make an effort to ap proximate these results.—Marietta Journal. In some of the Swiss Valleys the inhabitants are all afflicted with goi tre or “stiff neck.” Instead of re garding this as a deformity they seem to think it a natural feature of physical development, and tourists passing through the valleys are sometimes jeered by the goitrous in habitants, because they are without this offensive swelling. Thus a form of disease may become so common that it is regarded as a natural and necessary condition of life. It is so, to a large extent, with what are call ed diseases of women. Every woman suffers more or less from irregularity, ulceration, debilitating drains, or fe male weakness, and this suffering is so common and so universal that many women accept it as a condi tion natural and necessary to their sex. But it is a condition as unnat ural as it is unnecessary.

The worst victim of hard luck we have heard of lately is a young man who for five years gave part of his earnings to his fiance to save until they were married.

Put them up to look as if they had been caught to-day, will you?” “Certainly, sir. How many?” “Oh, you’d better give me three or four—barbel! Make it look de cent in quantity without appearing to exaggerate, you know.” “Yes, sir. You’d better take sal mon, eh?” “Whv? What makes you think so?” “Oh, nothing except that your wife was down early this morning and said if you dropped in with your fishing tackle and a generally woe-begone look, I was to persuade you to take salmon if possible, as she liked that kind better than any other.” Mr. Smith took trout.
