Thc m nd died condition ol' tho Re publican party iu regard to Porto Rico should bf highly encouraging to tho Democrats, who, sticking fast to the Declaration of Iudependouce and tho Constitution, can afford to watch with complacency the struggles of their oj* ponents to square their consciences with their dealing and "with political expediency as well. With tho House pulling one waj', the Senat?'pulling the other and the President on tho fence ready to Hop, it is difficult to tell just how the matter will li ii all y be adjust ed. It now seems likely, however, that tho $2,000,000 gift bill will be joined with the tariff bill so amended as to strike ont duties on goods sent from tho United States to Porto Rico. The provision for a delegate in Con gress will also be stricken out, for what exact purpose no one seems to know unless it is to enforce the fact that the Porto Rieans aro a "subject people." The combined bill as amended will supply the Porto Rican government with necessary money for temporary expenses, will put its markets at the mercy of American manufacturers and will still retain 15 per cent, protection for the United States sugar and tobac co trusts. Thus everybody ought tobe happy, except tho Porto Rican people who will pay tho duty and be taxed without representation. Such a little thing as this, however, should not trouble Americans whoso ancestors went to war with the greatest empire in the world because of its attempt to enforce a similar state of affairs against them. How clearly all this is a matter of expediency is shown by the fact that tho agreement was only obtained by tho threat of Senator Foraker that iE something of tho kind was not decided on, he would introduce a bill giving full territorial rights to Porto Rico, and force it to passage by the assistance of the Democratic votes. The administration continues to op pose tho Davis amendment to the Hay Pauncefoto treaty, and Secretary Hay has gone so far as to supply thc British with a ieason for rejecting it if adopt ed, by asserting officially that a similar provision in tho Suez convention was omitted intentionally "because the conditions were different." When Lord Salisbury quotes his own language back to him, Mr. Hay will doubtless be at a loss to reply. The amendment, however, in tho opinion of all Demo cratic Senators, is worse than useless, in that it does not give us the right to fortify. Without thar right, we can only "defend" the canal by keeping a fleet of warships at each end of it, and it is quite obvious that we are likely to have no warships to spare after de fending our enormous coastline against any flrst-class power. However, the Republicans have got to do something to hold up their end, and not confess defeat on every suggestion and policy that they make, and so it is prenable that thc treaty will be amended and passed.. The publishers of the country con tinue to make bitter attacks on the Loud Postal Bil!. One of them, John Elderkin, of New York, said, recently: "Mr. Loud does not realize tho trouble he is making for the administration. His bill, if it passes, will caus" more loss and embarrassment to the country press than anything that has happened in twenty-live years. If Mr. Loud wishes to know how limiting sample copies to GOO of any ono issue will affect the country press in towns of over five thousand inhabitants, let him talk with Perry Heath or any other well inform ed newspaper man who has had exper-, ienco in building np the circulation of a newspaper in n small city. The country newspapers did an immense service in the campaign which resulted in the election of McKinley, and the ten thousand and more newspapers which did tho work are entitled to some consideration from Mr. Loud, al though ho seems to think that tho prin cipal thing to be accomplished by tho passage of his bill is his vindica tion." Tho hold up of General Wheeler's resignation is likely to have serious consequences for the soldier-statesman and will probably result in his having to be re-elected before ho can take bis seat.iu Congress, which, it is rumored, was exactly the end which the man who held it np had in view. If General Wheeler's resignation had been accept ed before Congress convened he could have taken his seat without ? --ord of protest, but now he cannot do so. The question is who in the War Depart ment was able to work his spite against the little general-Otis, Corbin or some underling? When the general, on bis arrival at San Francisco from the Phil ippines, announced that he bad resign ed from the army last. November, Ad jutant General Corbin stated in posi tive terms that he had not before heard of the resignation. The next day Gen. Corbin said Gen. Wheeler's resignation had just reached him from the White Honso, where it had lain, according to the Adjutant General, for nearly two months. Hence it is probable that nu less General Wheeler, who is mainly Interested, insists upon an explanation, the matter will be allowed to remain inst as it is, doubtless . to tho infinite relief of General Otis and tho Adjutant General. The country, however, will not be so .veli pleased, to learn of tho possibilities for carelessness and spite work in the military service disclose;1, by thc incident. Selling Crups hi Advauce. Regarding thu proposition that Southern farmers should sell on a basis of New York futures for September and Octobor delivery their crops of cotton not yet planted, Col. A. H. Shepperson, of "New York, writes in last week's Manufacturer's Iteeortl as follows : "No fanner could sell his crop on the basis of prices for September and October delivery unless he agreed to deliver it during those months. He could deliver only a small proportion of his crop by that time, as picking usually goes on until December and and sometimes n itch later. Ho could only sell with safety for delivery in November and December, and Now York future*; for these months all nearly half a cent lower than for Sep tember delivery. The present price for November delivery would leave the farmer, after paying freight, commis sions and other charges, about seven cunts a pound for middling cotton. This should not bo regarded a very tempting price, since it has been ex ceeded during every calendar year, with ono exception, since IMO. "Should tho fanner sell now for next fall or winter, and prices before then should advance for any reason, he would have to make n deposit of money equal to tho advance, and the raising of this money might provo inconven ient and expensive, lt' the farmer should sell more than his crop turned out tobo he would have to buy of his neighbors to make up'tho quantity. In the event of higher prices ruling nt that time than ho had sold at, he might thus stifler a considerable loss, besides having to part with all of his crop at a lower price than his neighbors were receiving. If, from the conditien of his crop late in the summer, tho farmer should feel reasonably conlident of making 200 bales of cotton it would bc wise, perhaps, to sell 100 bales for No vember or December delivery, against his crop, if tho price was satisfactory. This would bo safe and perfectly legit imate, and is frequently done through Southern factors. "Thc old adage that a 'shoemaker should stick to his last,7 though very homely, is nevertheless true in a gen eral way, the exceptions but serving to prove tho rule. A farmer should not try to bo a speculator. His training, his environment and hi? faculties are nii against his success, and handicap him in tho struggle with men of keen er wits, greater opportunities and lees innate honesty. "Let the farmer usc better and more scientific methods, studying closely tho needs cf his soil, so as to get tho greatest yield at tho least cost of pro duction. Let him buy nothing which can be produced at home. "More careful cultivation and the proper selection and more liberal uso of fertilizers would give far better results to the cotton growers than tho lat go increase in acreage which is now so generally expected." Talk About the Fertilizer Fuss. A few days ago tho State gave the figures as to the salo of fertilizer tax tags for this year, showing that up to date the .fertilizer companies had bought very nearly as many tags as for the whole of last year, an increase of over $18,000 more than had been bought at the same time last year, all of which indicated that if the companies wero not actually selling more fertilizers than last year they at least expected a heavier business. Yesterday one of the lending farmers of tho State, who is a well known Al lianceman, and who is well posted on such matters, was seen In tho city, and asked if he thought the farmers were not sticking up to their resolutions. He said that whilo the figures seemed un questionnlly to show that moro fertil isers were being bought this year, he did not think that this was really the case. As his reason for this he said ho thought tho fanners, being in better shape, were buying their fertilizers earlier than usual this year. He cited the instance of a mill that had sold out its supply as early as Feb ruary this year, whereas it had not sold out last year until tho last of April. He also stated that the farmers were really not paying moro than the 10 per cont, advance on last year's price, which they agreed upon in all their anti-trust meetings. In a few in stances here and there small farmers had been caught napping by jobbers, but as a general thing the bulk of the sales have been within thd 10 per cs?t. advance. He went on to say that there would undoubtedly be a large crop of cotton planted this year and hethought there was bon nd to be another season of good prices, come what may. The South Carolina crop, however, he does not expect to be as large as the plant ing would indicate. He says ho has never known a big crop to follow a wet winter 'such as this winter has been. He looks for a midsummer drought that will demoralizo the cotton crop and reduce the production very mate rially. The State. Alliance will meet on tho second Tuesday in July in this city and tho speaker thought by that time tho truth of his view would bo npparcnt.
