London Globe Says Great
Britain Should be Con
sulted.
London, June 17.—The Pall Mall
Gazette this afternoon say that Mar
quis Ito, the Japanese statesman, who
was interviewed yesterday in Paris on
the Hawaiian annexticn question, has
declared Japan will not create interna
tional difficulties in connection with
Hawaii and that certainly no other
country will object to the annexation
of Hawaii by the United States.
The Globe says:
‘•This American grab is a breach of
good faith, if not a violation of treaty
rights, and there is all the more reason
for antiepating a prompt aud watchful
attitude upon the part of Lord Salis
bury now, when it is remembered what
a flabby appearance England presented
to a contemptuous world in the case of
Venezuela. No English ministry, how
ever strong, can afford to repeat that
policy often. All Englishman hearti
ly desire to cultivate and maintain
friendly relations with the United
States, but our trans-Atlantic kinsmen
must not be allowed to believe that
England can be bullied into submitting
to any kind of offhand treatment
whether for electioneering or for other
purposes. Lord Salisbury and bis col
leagues should stiffen their backs aud
tell President McKinley politely lint
plainly that Great Britain claims the
right to be consulted before the annex
ation of Hawaii is finally decided up
on.”
Senator Clay is thus spoken of
in the New York Tribune: If there
is anything in a name the new sen
ator from Georgia, Alexander
Stophens Clay, may be expected
to make his mark in the senate,
lie has already shown that ho is a
man of independent action. Sen
ator Clay is one of the five south
ern Democrats who voted for a tax
on u raw cotton. So radical a de
parture from the old creed of Dem
ocracy, “tariff for revenue only,”
is regarded as significant of a now
era in the south. Senator Clay is
42 and probably is the youngest
man ever elected to the senate
from Georgia. But he has already
had something of a successful ca
reer as lawyer, and ten years ser
vice in his state legislature, where
he was first speaker of the house,
and later president of the senate.
Last year, as a candidate for the
senate, he had against him such
men as Governor Atkinson and Ev
an P. Howell. The contest ended
with ninety .two votes, four more
than required, for Mr. Clay, and
without bitterness or antagonism
from his opponents, who remained
his personel friends. Senator Clay
is a man of good physique, and has
a B trong, attractive face. His boy
hood was spent on a farm, and lat
er he had the advantages of col
lege training. He is for free silver
and believes that on the issue of
“equality of both metals under the
law the Democracy will take no
backward step.”
“Private John" Alien; the con
gressional wit, got off a good one
on Reed a few days ago;
“Have you heard of Sterling
Morton’s sad affliction?” asked Al
len.
“No what is it?” said Reed.
“The poor fellow has gone crazy.
His brilliant intellect is darkened
forever.”
“My God! is that so? How came
it?”
“He went crazy over mathemat
ics.”
“Mathematics! how?”
“He got to figuring to demon
strate the difference between Cleve
land’s depression and McKinley's
prosperity,” answered Allen with
a smile.
The Grandest Remedy.
Mr. R. B. Greeve, merchant of
Chilhowie, Va., certifies that he
had consumption and was given
up to die, sought all medical treat
ment that money could procure,
tried all cough remedies he could
hear of, but got no relief: spent
many nights sitting up in a chair;
was induced to try Dr. King's New
Discovery and was cured by use
of two bottles. For past three
years has been attending to busi
ness and says Dr. King's New Dis
covery is the grandest remedy ever
made, as it has done so much for
him and also for others in his
community. Dr. King’s New Dis
covery is guaranteed for Coughs.

A Northern View of Lynching.
Speaking of the recent Urbana
(0.) lynching the New York Eve
ning. Post observes that it throws a
Hood of light up«n the frequency
el such occurrences in the South.
Says the Post:
“The colored population of Ohio
is small ; crimes of this sort on its
part are rare; the offender in the
pi esent case had been promptly ar
rested, tried, convicted, and sen
te.icd to twenty years imprison
ment, which is the full penalty of
the law for the (rime; and yet a
m>b of the ‘bettter class of citi
zens,’ women urging on their hus
bands in broad daylight, without
attempting disguise, broke into the
jail, dragged out the prisoner, and
pt t him to death in the most bru
tal way. When such an event is
possible in a Northern state —and
ai d there have been other lynch
ii -s of negroes in Ohio within the
last few years —one can understand
m .re easily why the whites so often
taxe the law into their own hands
in Southern communities, where
th blacks largely outnumber them,
aud where the plea for vengeance
can be so strongly urged.”
It may be said that the Urbana
affair will prove, after all, to be the
means of bringing about a more
co nplete understanding of South
ern conditionsand that henceforth
there should be no more unworthy
slurs at the lawabiding citizens of
the South.

The Cotton Acreage.
Latham, Alexander & Co. of New
York estimate that the cotton a
creage of the present season is
979,000 acres, or 4.4 per cent lar
ger than last year, and that the av
erage planting season is throe weeks
later than last year. These conclu
sions are reached from 2,606 ans
wers received from correspondents
in all sections of the cotton belt.
The increase of acreage in Georgia
is placed at 4 per cent, in Alabama
at 5 per cent, in South Cirolina at
5 per cent, in Louisiana at 3 per
cent, and in Texas at 8 per cent.
Mississippi is the only state which
shows a decrease. The condition
there is accounted for by the fact
that the great valley had been
flooded for many weeks. In Flori
da there has been apparent ly neith
er increase nor decrease in acreage.
Crop conditions are reported to be
less promising than they were at
the corresponding period (the first
week of June) last year. Floods
have caused the planting of less
cotton in Tennessee, Arkansas and
Louisiana, as well as in Mississippi
than would have been the case in
the absence of floods. —Americus

Every newspaper treasures up in
its memory the name of its friends
and, likewise, its enemies. It sel

goes out of its way to boost the lat

the same everywhere. People who
show the newspaper man kindness
never make a better investment or
one that more surely pays them a

has been truly said, “There comes
