When the river and harbor bill has run through that surplus there will be no further need of reduc¬ ing the revenue. France has purchased a warship which, complete, will cost her $6,000,000. Undoubtedly the sur¬ est guarantee of the peace of the future will be the cost of war. The W. C. T. U and the Nation¬ al Anti-Saloon League have made a joint attack on the “capitol buf¬ fet,” and a number of valiant statesman are said to be on the verge of nervous prostration. Mr. Roosevelt remarks that “on the .vhole wages in the United States are higher than ever before In our history,” and “the standard of living is also higher.”' We ven¬ ture to add that the cost of meat and potatoes is higher still. Postmaster General Smith says $8,000,000 would be saved bis de¬ partment if the mail matter not entitled to the pound rr-te were made to pay eight cents per pound ; and this would in no way interfere with the legitimate newspapers. According to the secretary of war the Philippine trade with Germany, France and the British possessions has increased much faster, since American occupation, than the trade with the United States.

Our American House of Lords. Few of the people who are sup¬ posed to vote intelligently know the extent of the encroachments of the venerable body knowh as the United States senate upon the rights and liberties of the people whom they are presumed to repre¬ sent. They are almost unlimited in power. A contributor in Ains- lee’s December Magazine writes an interesting article on this potent branch ot the national govern¬ ment, in which he says: “For twenty years the senate has been gaining on the house It has seized one advantage after an¬ other until it has things about its own way. ‘Its limited membership and unlimited debate give individual senators free play, The house has grown so big that it has been com¬ pelled to cut off debate and put arbitrary power in the bands of the speaker, It has to act prompt¬ ly as a unit it it is to act at all. “On questions of legislation where serious differences arise with the senate, it frequently has to take a measure or reject it, just as it stands. It originates legisla¬ tion. It sends a bill over to the senate and the senate amends it. It is m the power of a small group of senators, and sometimes, at the close ot a session, in the power of a single senator, to prevent the passage of any bill. “There are tunes when any sen¬ ator with a small following, by threatening long debate, can com¬ pel amendments which are satis¬ factory to him. A measure, thus amended so as to insure ths sup¬ port of a majority ot the senate, goes back to the house where it originated. “It it is a measure involving party policy the house has to take it or else run the risk of sending it back to the senate again with amendments that w ill arouse lim¬ itless discussion, imperiling its fate. In nine cases out of ten the house, under protest, will accept the senate amendments rather than run the risk of defeating the bill The “Cotton Exchange.” The above caption is a misno¬ mer. Take off its Sunday clothes and this monster beast w ill appear in its proper elemeut. I have previously stated plainly that their fictitious sales and re- poits have placed the cotton crop far in excess of its true and thereby depressed the price of cotton in the general market. The last of -September of year they had the crop estimated at 10,000,000 bales, and the price went down. In October the gov¬ ernment report came in with only 61 1-4 per cent of a maximum crop, showing that these fellows had lied, and cotton advanced in price. They immediately went to drum¬ ming up false sales and receipts until they again got the crop re¬ port to over 11,000,000 bales, ana cotton went on down until De¬ cembers, when the government came in with only 9.675,909 bales, and cotton immediately sprang up. I have contended all tbe while that it would push us to have over 9,000,000 bales Now take the above report and reduce it ro a maximum weight of 500 pounds to the hale and it will fall short of the 9,000,000 bales. Friends, we have moths in our bee hives, and we will have to move them. We can organize and com- blue and pull our fruit. f,-„ m ,he Vllie an d ship it to a foreign mar- ket as well as the speculator, and afl „j 1 hade8 or to working . > ’° r an honest living, which would hurt lnm just as bad. If we have to toil for our pro¬ duce, and then throw it mto the laps of speculators to gamble on and to see a price upon our labor we hud oettercall a halt, for if we as a people will resort to a little self-respect and common sense can readily right the wrong. As for myself, I am going to fight them until hell freezes over, and then fight them on the ice. The speculators on the last of November said there were over 11,000,000 bales of cotton; the government said we only had 9i- 675,000 balee. Ask them how r they are going to deliver their goods and not wabble on the spindle. Of course this epistle will be made light of, and slurs will be thrown out, but 1 am going to plant the seed in our community, and it is up to you people whether or not it shall germinate.

Stoy in Southern Mercury. The S.hley Verdict. If anything was needed to con¬ firm the opinion that the navy de¬ partment was determined to be¬ little Admiral Schley to the end that Admiral Sampson and his satilites could Sain both glory and cash, in the shape of prize money, it has been furnished in the con¬ duct of the court of inquiry and in its report. To begin with, the inquiry was conducted by. the judge advocate as if Schley was under indictment and he the public prosecutor; then after the utter collapse of every charge that was brought against the gallant Schley, as shown by the testimony, a majori¬ ty of the court bring in a verdict condemning Sehfey on every count but one. Could anything be plainer? The only wonder being that the majority of the court could have had the brazen assurance to bring in such a report in the face of the evidence. It shows to what length official servility will go. Admirals Ben- an( j R am8e y knew that Secre- tary Long expected them, to con¬ demn Schley and they did it. al- though their verdict is an insult to every intelligent man who read the evidence. Great is the naval clique and long the reach of its arm, but it lias no terrors for Dewey, who came out in just the manly way that was expected of him and gives Schley the credit that he so well deserves. The nam< s of Dewey and Schley will have a warm place in the hearts of the American people long i fter such pusillanimous snobs as Sampson and Secretary Long have be nr tten. Sparc Us, Oh, Spare Us.

As negroes need no urging to induce them to attend school; and, as they are means, it would he useless to ap- peal to them to provide funde tor schools, the inference is that he is expected to woi k among the , u hit.es for this purpose. It is sincerely to be hoped that these misguided northern philan¬ thropists will refrain from their contemplated purposes. The south is backward, and slow to move it is true, but things will will work out right in due time. Nothing will be gained, but rather harm done, by fins officious inter¬ meddling bv strangers with mat¬ ters that do not concern them.

He must fight the Hessian fly or the wheat crop will not be garnered, he must tight the wee¬ vil or the grain will perish in the bins, he must fight the army worm or the cattle will starve in the pastures, he must fight the tent caterpillar and the borer or his forests will wither and the streams disappear.
