COTTON MARKET.
New oRLEAns. Oct. Is. 1915.

NEW ORLEANS, Oct. Is, 1915.
Oar last Saturdays report left the Cot
ton market very firm at the advanced rates
then quoted, and we noticed the increased
claims of holders as principal reason of
the rather limited transactions on the clos.
ing day. On Sunday morning the Euro
pean advlces per Cambria, which had been
looked for with much interest, came to
hand, the dates being from Havre TO the
10th and from Liverpool to the 9th ulti-
mo. Our publication of Monday morning
gave full particulars of the commercial in
telligence, and we have only to remark
here, that the advices, in regard to Cotton.
continue of favorable character, an ad-
vance of an / g of a penny having been
realized since the departure of the previ-
Gus steamer, with business 10 a far extent,
both for consumption and on speculation.
The immediate effect of these advices on
our own market was claim for further
advance on the part OF holders, bat buyers
did not readily accede to their demands,
and the business of Monday only amount
ed to some 500 bales. Yesterday, how
ever, the holders continuing firm, pur-
chasers came forward more freely, and
upwards of 5000 bales changed hands, at
rates which establish an advanee OF about
! OF a cent upon our previous figures,
and our quotations are altered according
". The total sales of the three Gays a.
mountt TO about 5000 bales, and the mar
ket closes with much firmness.

FLORIDA PoLITIcs. = We see in the
Floridlan, that it is urged as an objection
against Mr.. CabelI, a candidate for Con-
gress, that he voted against the following
proposition TO the Constitution of Florida:
{" No person who denies the being of a
God, or future state of rewards and
punishments, shall hold any office in the
civil department of this State"-which
proposition was rejected in the convention
by vote of Il IN It's favor to "a against it.
So far from this being a ground Of OBJ
lection, we think it should certainly ope-
rate in his favor; it is certainly aRindica-
ton of good sense and sound Judgment
In this glorious land of liberty and equal
rights, no man has right to dictate wha;
his fellows shall believe. In these United
States, where the Government is prohibit
ed from making any law respecting an es
adjustment of Religion, we do not like TO
see a constitution of sovereign State,
made religious nfessi ION Of faith. and
compel man TO consent to a sentiment
that, perhaps he does not believe in his
heart. On the same grounds, we ohiec,
TO prohibiting any person form holding Of
flee on account of their callIng-such as
prescribing ministers of the gospel; which
we think defect in the constitions OF
some Of the States of this Union. We
know no man. only as citizen, and we
care not what his calling may be, if it be
an honest one Winston Banner.

Mr.. B., married man with one child, who re.
piled that the conditions were not equal, thai
