and it behooyee us. as a wiso nation,
to profit by tbo experience of the past
and stop the further growth of the
evil threatening our existence and na-
tion, and the moot important step we
can now take is to elect senators by
tbo direst rote of the people. By this
moans tbo millionairos will bo placed,
politically, on a level with the mechan-

This bat been {the theme of conven-

Tbo people have a right to be beard

Roundlap Bains Makes Cotton
Hlghar.
Wherever The American Cotton
Company’s Roundlap presses were
operated last season higher prioee
prevailed for cotton whether baled
round or square. In order to get oot-
ton, square-bale buyers wore obliged
to pay more than the market price,
and more than cotton was selling for
in neighboring towns where there was
not ajroundlap plant. In some eases
the premium paid by square-box gin-
ners ln| competition with Roundlap
gins during the greater pert of tbe
season was as much as half a cent per
pound above tbelprice ruling at other
old-style gine in tbe seme county.
The inevitable result follewsd. Cot-
ton (aud tbe owners’ trade with it)
was drawn from long distances to
Roundlap points to the profit of the
entire community, and at the expense
of towns that did not enjoy the ad
vantage of round bale competition.
The effect of each object lesson has
been a demand for Roundlap presses
for next teasou which will tax the full

Company’s works running day aud

This is the way that Et-Gov. Bob
Taylor of Tennessee describee the com
ing of morning, and he must hart
been speaking of a morning in Texas
“I saw tbe morning with purple
quiver and burnished bow, eland tip-
toe on tbe borixon and sboot sun-
beams at the vanishing darkness of
night, and then reach up and gather
the stare aud hide them in her bosom,
then bend down end tickle tbe slum-
bering world with straws of light till
it woke with laughter and tong. A
thousand bugle calls from tbe rosy
fires of tbe east heralded her ooming.
a thousand smiling meadows kissed
ker garments as she' passed, and ten
thousand laughing gardens nnfnrled
their flower-flags to her. The heart
of tba deep forest throbbed a tribute
of bird song and the bright waters rip
pled a melody of welcome. Young
life and love, radiant with joy, came
band in band, tripping and dancing in
her shining train and I wisbad tbe
heaven of tip morning might last foi-
ever.n
W asblngtOD Letter
Washington, April, 20, 1900
Spain knows, to her ooet, that
thote la a limit to tba patience of
Uunle Sam, and Turkey may h ire
to bo taagbt tbo acne lesson, but
to Justify tbe eiattiug atones sent
out by some of the Washington
correspondents, alleging that an
ultimatum bad beou sunt to tbo
Button, aud that It waa contem-
plating to aend a squadron of wor-
ships to aalsc tbo Turkish Custom
House at Smyrna aud bold It no-
til tho indemnity demanded for
tho deatruotlou of the property of
American Missionaries In Turkey
could bo collected. Those enter-
prising newspaper men have got a
long ways akcad of diplomaey£the
ultimatum and warehipa may eou •
in time, but it is the preseat opin- |
ion of offlolala that the Button w. 1
aot upou the sharp demand wbicb
lias bean made upon him for the
money and that neither will be
neoenaary, Both tbe President
end the Secretary of Bute are
now away from Washington, ;that
la proof enough that no immediate
trouble with Turkey is looked for.

tbo Qouee and Senate bills pro-
viding a government for Hawaii

come a law. Under tbe new law

and oiber executive officers, a leg-
islature of two branohea, aud a Ju-
dicial branch consisting of a sup-
reme court, cirouit courts and in
ferior courts- Hawaii will have
a delegate in cougrass with the
right to participate to debate bnt
not to vote. The United States’
tariff laws are extended over Ha-
waii which ie made a customs dis-
trict (with four porta of entry.
Vh« crown lauda of Hawaii are
made public lands free of all claim
whatever and the amount of laud

tion is limited tol 1000 acres. Tbe

More than 2-3 of tbe Hones,
