Why, indeed, should anyone speak- ing for the Anti-Saloon league call on Governor Shallenberger to put county:| option on the special session program along with the initiative and referen- dum? The excuse for projecting the initiative and referendum is that it was inserted in last year's demo(‘% platform, although it was not=in"Fhe democratic platform upon which the | governor and legislature were elected. But when it comes to county opticn no such side-stepping is possible, because the governor ran as & populist on a populist platform, as woll as a demo- crat, and the populist platform - on which he was elected distinctly and Sarah Bernhardt has begun one of her “‘farewell tours.” Must be her final farewell.

But no con-| | cession 1s to be made to the man who !lrnfflr‘kn in the staples of life purely | for speculation and this most disas | trous of evils is aimed at in this far-| | reaching, world-wide movement at fix- ing prices. | The system | thoritative | | | of obtaining this au- information has been re duced to simple details which seem to promise complete success. The first | step 18 to obtain from all the adhering countries reports of the areas of the| different crops; the second, reports on the sowing conditions, climatic and otherwise; third, periodical reports on conditions and progress; fourth, pre liminary estimate; fifth, preliminary reports during harvest; sixth, final statement of yield soon after harvest; seventh, reports on circulating stocks | and stocks fn warchouse: | Need of Raising More Cotton. The campaign for intensified farm- fng must be extended to the cotton | flelds of the south. A prominent tu)ll”l—’ ern planter says that at the present! rate of development in manufactories | the south will soon be consuming all| of its raw material, exporting none to the mills of New England or abroad. Such a result would revolutionize the industry of cotton manufactaring, closing down many factories and send- ing the price of cotton goods up yond all reason. The cotton grower and manufacturer of the south would profit, at least up to the point where the influence of exorbitant prices re- acted in a reduction of the demand for the finished product. Today in all the world there are in operation 128,280,000 cotton spindles, of which only 27,880,000 are in the United States, but the number is rap- idly increasing in Dixie, and if the present rate of increase is maintained cotton spinning will overtake cotton production down there within a few years., Today these foreign factories depend largely for their cotton on the south, which last year produced a total of 13,828,846 bales, which was still only about 2,000,000 bales more than the output in 1899 &nd the 1899 crop was double that of 1889. The world consumes—outside the United States— about 12,000,000 bales a year. From these statistics but one con- clusion is possible—that cotton pra- duction is not Xeeping up with capacity | for cotton spinning and that the pro- duction of raw material must be in- creased. There are two primary reme- dles for the situation. One is to open up to cultivation some of the vast areas of the south today lying idle and the other is to increase the yield per acre, which can be done with cotton as it is being done with corn under the system of Intensified farming. Here is an inviting subject for our agricultural | and soil doctors, as well as immigra- | tion officers of the country, who might help by diverting landseekers to the south, where land is plentiful and cheap. be- Mercy and Justice. Striking an even balance between these two elements is one of the great problems in life. The character that | equally possesses both and can exercise { one without violence to the other 1| the exception and not the rule. Jus- tice is the stronger of the two, because it involves more often necessity, a wider scope of human rights and a better mental polse. It is safe to be merciful if one can at the same time be just, to ‘‘temper justice with | | mercy,” but it is dangerous to be mer- ciful if justice is cheated. | The judge who ylelds to a tender | emotion, a maudlin sympathy for the | | erring, and lets off a guilty man with | de- {too light a penalty to meet the mands of the law, or none at all, |strikes a blow at justice. He looks only at the case of the condemned ! man, who, no matter what his pitiful | | plight may be, has no right that should | be considered before the rights of so-| |ciety which he has offended.

Probable Fatal Result of Search for Typhus Germ., Brooklyn Eagle. The reward offsred by the United Btates government for the discovery of the germ for typhus fever, having stimulated many surgeons to active Investigation, Dr. How- ard T. Ricketts, surgeon in the United States marine hospital service, went to Mexico City to pursue the search. He Is now reported to be down with the disease, and likely to die from It. He may thus add one more name to the list of modern martyrs of science, who get but a passing thought from the pre-occupled people of the United States. Typhus kills hundreds of persons in Mex- ico every year. It s a virulent fever, highly contagious, repulsive in its various phases, fatal in about 1§ per cent of the number attacked, and in case of recovery 1s often followed by continuous mental weakness, or nervous irritabllity, which makes life almost a burden. It is espe- clally a peril to soldiers in camp, though not 0 much now as in past years. Thou- sands suffered from it in the Crimean campaign. Nowadays sanitary camp ar- rangements have reduced the danger to a minimum. The fsolation of the germ would practically eliminate the perll of typhus. It Dr. Ricketts dies, other men will keep up the search.
