A Washington correspondent tells -us ; that"Snnnner dullness at the Na tion's capital and the desire of a few Federal officials for glory are the rea sons generally accepted for the de velopment and great exploitation of the 'receivership rplan of dealing with trusts in general and. the tobacco trust in particular. It is furthermore said that rumors of a great and "comprehensive" plan where the Federal Government would take in charge all of the monopolized industries of the country and con duct them- upon a high plane, very much as some business enterprises are occasionally conducted upon a sup posedly "Christian" basis for a day or two, have been in circulation, but seem to have no foundation. Th phase of the matter to which so much attention has been called is regarded oy the saner officers of the Govern ment, who are willing to speak their minds, as bizarre, even absurb, in its bearings and worthy of little atten ' tion. A well posted correspondent says: "The notion of having receivers ap pointed for the different corporations .whose business is apparently in re straint of trade is presumably, the product of Assistant Attorney General Purdy. Mr Purdy was in the-Department of Justice under Mr. Knox, , and has been at the head of the 'trust-busting work of the Department for a number of years. The plan is said to be warranted by the-fact that In an ordinary suit for the dissolution of an illegal monopoly only an utterly illusive result is ordinarily obtained. For instance, in the Standard Oil suit at St Louis, wherein the dissolution of the trust Is aimed at, the outcome, supposing . the Government to be suc cessful, would probably be nothing mnrfl than thfl Virpa V nr nf o mniprn ; .which-in. the, meantime would have "Triltsferiied its properties to others- or would have resorted to some similar .

Some Federal officials are now inclined to claim that '-too much has been made of the no tion of the receiverships. They say that in every equity proceeding there are always various remedies proposed for the the correction of evils that are complained of. One of these is likely . Jto be the appointment of a receiver, - and that has been put forward in the "present case as a possible way of pro ceeding. Few officials are willing to -'stand for' the ridiculous inferences that are being drawn from the new plan, and they have been noticeably frightened at the suggestion tSiat it is a scheme that would be a long step toward Socialism' because It would put most of the business of the country into the hands of the gov ernment for conduct. Sensationalism, they say, is responsible for the great stress laid on this feature of the plan. .The fact remains that the idea receiv ed from some definite source a wide lo cal advertising and was heralded" as a departure in corporation control. Prob- auij .aaaucia more nas Deen uiaue ot the proposition than had been origl . nally Intended, but it was "solely -through the work of sensation mon gers that it received Its thoroueh. ex ploitation. The disapproval which is being manifested very pointedly in some quarters, Is putting a different complexion on the situation." COTTON IN EAST AFRICA. Bernard . Dernhursr Kerreta TV of State for the German colonies, left . Berlin last Saturday for Naples, where he embarked for German East Africa to study the agricultural and commer cial possibilities In that section of the continent. - . Preparatory to this trip, says a Ber lin cablegram, the Minister summon ed a number of business . men in con, V ere,?-c9 f5r,i6 leathelt .wishes ; regarding commercial;1 development; ana ne succeeded in inducing several representatives of the cotton industry n to accompany him to Investigate the Possibility Of maVlntr y,a.

Africa with success.- "There is a movement now on foot among the German spinners to organize a company with av capital of $2,500,000 to go into cotton, growing in the colony on a large scale. , There' Is every reason to believe that many portions of (the globe are, capable of cotton production, . but the cost of production and the expense of getting the cotton to consumers Is always a consideration. We have no doubt that in time the sub-tropical portion of Africa will produce con siderable cotton, but we have every confidence that our own cotton pro ducing region in the South will always lead in the industry. However, we ought to improve our varieties of cot ton. We do not pay enough atten tion to that matter, heretofore, think ing that any kind of old cotton seed is good enough to plant. OUR HAVANAS TO BE .HIGHER. Like trade combinations in this country, there is a cigar combine in Cuba and they have had a strike on hand. The news from Havana is that the strikers are likely to win and that the combine will put up the price of our pure Hjjrvana cigars. A conference was held In Havana a few days ago between the members of the cigar manufacturers' combine and the inde pendent firms for the purpose of ar ranging a settlement of the strike of the cigar-makers, who went out last February-demanding the payment of their wages in American instead of, Spanish5 money. No definite decision was reached, and the conference was adjourned for the present. It is understood that the manufac turers .are "not willing to concede de mand that wages be paid in American currency, but they are prepared to pay a ten per cent Increase in Spanish gold. These terms are believed to be" acceptable to the strikers, and it is, therefore, probable that the factories will reopen this week. It is said that a corresponding increase, in the price of cigars soon will be announced. EVER THUS FROM CHIDHOOD'S HOUR. The Chattanooga Times, with a pen chant for the consistency of things and men, remarks: "It is understood that Governor Comer, of Alabama, doesn't include the cotton mill-in the. class t corpo rations vthattrught -to be stft3ec to State regulation. The good old fable In the blue back speller? about the ox goes right on finding ready application every day in the early days of the twentieth as it did in the early days of the nineteenth. century." . It might be observed that Harriman probably is guilty of what nine men out of ten would do when they want to "eliminate'' competition and secure a soft snap for themselves. We have lots of little Harrimans with us alway. THE DELINEATOR. The August number of The Delinea tor has been received. It is a hand some number and is within coyers that are artistic and beautiful. The magazine is beautifully illustrated with fashion plates and general sub jects, and in its columns the latest Parisian and New York fashions are exploited in articles of the most de lightful character. Art and home science get their full share of atten tion, and the literary feature of The Delineator is more than usually en tertaining and valuable for lady read ers. None should miss the series now running on "The Marital Unrest; What Is the Cause of It?" Society reading and other matters to charm and edify the home circle, make the August Delineator a candidate, for widespread favor. -It is 'sent a year to subscribers for $1 and is on sale. at 15 cents per copy.
