Daily Democrat WHKKE IT WILL KND. It teems to be pretty definitely settled that whatever evil comes of the jute bag ging trust and its exorbitant demands will finally fall upon the operatives employed in the mills represented by the combina tion. The action of the louthern farmers at their late convention has made it cer tain that they will not help to keep the jute mills of the north running much longer, and the jute men have themselves to thank lit thi change. Protected by a heavy tMifJ, they formed a trust and raised the price of cotton bagging cnoi mously last year. It was too late for the planters to escape the exaction altogether, but the resisted so effectually that the combine had Dme 15,000,000 yards of manufacture product on its hands when the season dosed. To 6ave themselves, themanufac turers took time by the forelock last win ter and bought up the entire stock of ju fiber in this country and ailoat, hoping b that means te hold up the price. But If planters haye had time to think and to loo about them, and the result is a clearly de fined purpose to build up a new southern industry the manufacture of a course fabric from .he cheapest grades af cotton, and thus secure the three-fold advanta; of a low priced covering for their cotton bales, a market at home for the least sale able portion of their crop, and an increased Impetus in southern cotton manufacturing. The Atlanta Comiilullon reports that the farmers of Georgia and South Carolina have already decided to take 4,000,000 yards of cotton bagging, sucn as can be readily supplied by mills in Georgia and lx)uisiana,and no tt the farmers of Louisiana pledge themselves to take 2,000,000 yards more, making 6,000,000 yards for the three states. This, the Constitution declares ex ultantly, delinitely settles the jute trust trouble. Even if the farmers of no other cotton state were to move in the matter though they will ail fall into line heartil the jute trust would be destroyed. The loss on the sales of six millions yards nould cut such a hole in the profits of the com bine that the mills w hich have stocks on nana would bo glau to sell jute bagging to the farmers at a greatly reJuced price ; but the alliance men are pledged not to buy jute bagging on any terms, so thst the bagging trust may be said to have crawled into a very deep hole and pulled it in after them. There was no thought of such a movement until the trust was formed and the pri;e raised, so if the industry is trans ferred to the south and the northern jute mills stand idle, the unlucky operatives will have no one to blame but their avari cious employers, who thought to take ad vantage of an excessive tariff and enrich themselves at the expense of the southern planters. Charles E Boles is the real name of the famous California highwayman generally known "Illicit Bart. " At the breaking out of the war h was living in Decatur, 111., and joined the Ont Hundred and Sixteenth Illinois regiment, was made sergeant and served three years. gaining tone distinction for bravery. Return ing home in 1S65, he disposed of his farm, locating his wife and three smtll children all girls ia the little town of Olney, III., and then started for Montana. From all information his domestic relations were peculiarly happy. 1 1 is wife is described by her neighbors as an esti mable woman, and the children he left behind him were bright and unusually pretty. Tor nuny years he has been a terror to the stage ( companies and travelers in the mountains of California. 5 SPECIALTIES. IftftQ SPRINP. AND SUMMED "WWW W -w...IIIU, IfiV SOMK PERTINENT m'ESTIONS. When the republican convention at Chicago solemnly pledged the party to keep its pledge tha'."the spirit and purpose of reform should be observed in all executive appointments," was it supposed that if the parly carried the election Usiledge would be honestly redeemed .' Or was this en gagement with the country understood to be mere political thimblerigging ? Whei President Harrison, in accepting the nom ination, declared, as the principle of his action in the event of his election, "only the interest of the public service should Jggest removals from office," was it un derstood that his declaration was to be n lieved, as any statement made by him to a neighbor would be believed, and that he would not permit mere partisan removals? When Washington said, "Should it be my fate to administer the government, I will go to the chair under no pre cngagcinent of any kind or nature whatever ; and when in it I will, to the best of my judgment, discharge the duties of that office with that impartiality and zeal for the public good which ought never to suffer connec Hons of biood or friendship to have the least sway on decisions of a public nature," was there a man in the country w ho did not know that as surely as Washington was inaugurated his action would be inflex ibly guided, as it was guided, by the prin ciples he professed ? And when the prom ises of conventions and the pledges of can didates are understood to be mere dicers' oaths, is it surprising that to tell the trnt h ot Washington Is felt to be the stern rebuke of modern politicians ? America is not the only country that has to do with the labor question. Ninety thousand men were Included In the recent Urike among the mincrsat Dartmund.Cas- trep.and other districts of Germany. Does ' this mean the emigration of hordes ol these foreigners to this country, and the conse quent increase of the already orertlowing ranks ef strikers, who have come here to live under a free Government and its priv ileges, among them being the privilege to strike, which has been most freely taken advantage of by others of the same ilk ? The Missouri state legislature lias passed an anti-trust b'll which is deemed one of tne strongest measures yet enacted by any state legislature and If enforced it will pre vent all monopolistic ce-nbinei as well as attempts to consolidate interests In re straint of trade. A bill equally as strong called the Mcrritt bill.li pending befure the Illinois legislature, and Is expected to be come a law. In a small restaurant in Hartford, Conn. a large green turtle and a frog are inmates of the fountain tank, A frog cannot always remain under water, and there is no chance for the fcilow in question to reach a landing place on the side of a tank. But he has discovered that the top of the turtle's back is out of water, ex cept when the turtle dives. So he mounts the back and rides around the tank with an air of ow ning the whole business, When the turtle goes under he swims aroun.' until the back comes to the surface again, when he mounts and continues his trip. again The famoue Gaines ease, just settled by the United States supreme court, is, so to speak, collaterally continued in a Brooklyn court by one Mrs. Julietta Perkins, who claims, under an alleged will of Mrs. Gaines, one-third of the latter 's estate. The defendants in the case are Mrs. Gaines two sets of grandchildren. She died believing heresf te would amount to $2,- 000,000. 1 he supreme court of Louisiana pronounced the validity of Mrs. 1'ekins claim to be in the nature of a fairy story.
