COTTON.

In absence of kilograms from the East. the
market this morning was extremely quiet.
Offerings were fair. with limited demand.
Buyers were not disposed to operate to any
great extent. and in consequence their sales
for the morning were of light character.
The gradual falling off in receipts has inspired
holders of bright cottons, and grades above
ordinary are being held firm at full rates. The
receipts at the ports for one day since Friday
shows some decline against last year, the first
week it has done so. 1927 bales, against 49,
12i bales last week, and 1856 bales same time
last year. At the closing of our report the

ACCORDING to Mr.. Albert Keep,
President of the Chicago & North
western railroad, the outlay for
operating his road has for years
been greater than the income. The
following facts and figures are cited
to substantiate this statement:
The total receipts of the Stanwood
and Upton Railway have never yet
paid the operating expenses the
Iowa Midland Railway has been OPP
Grated al a loss of sl9,054 during the
year 1873; the Chicago, Iowa & Ne
brasko comes out on the same side
of the profit account to the tune of
S24, 949 SO, and the Cedar Rapids &
Missouri River Road has been oper-
ated at a loss of 1854, $50 90.
And now the question is, why do
the owners and managers of these
roads continue to impose such heavy
burdens upon the stockholders of
their companies

He is now actively engaged in

Mr.. PHILIP METZ, in a letter de-
timing his views upon the political
situation with reference to German
Americans, challenges the editor of
the BEE to a public discussion of
these issues after the two parties
have published their platforms. In
asmuch as this invitation to q joint
debate is rendered in a friendly
spirit, we shall accept.
Meantime we would advise Ger
man Republicans to participate in
the primaries and local conventions.
II they desire to engraft liberal
principles into the Republican plat
form they must take an active inter-
est in these meetings.

THE Omaha organ of Louis Ma
po;eon invites the Republican party
to define its position on the Franco
German war, and make Bonapart-
ism an issue in the coming cam

coming in the Bonapartist organ to
embody the abusive editorials
against the Germans which appear
ed in the Herald during the Franco
German war into the Democratic
platform. Such a plank would
surely consolidate the German
American vote on the Democratic

From Mcntemayer's Spanish AdsPdsn Of
Catullus.)
One eve of beauty, when the sun
Was on the waves Of Guadalqutver,
To gold converting one by one
The ripples of that mighty river,
Beside me on thu bank was seated
.cxvile girl with auburn hair,
q eyes that might the word have
cheated
A Wild, bright, wicked, diamond pair.
She STOPPED and wrote upon the strand,
Just as the loving sun was going,
With such q small, soft, shining hand,
You would have sworn twas silver
flowing;
Three words she wrote and not one more,
What could Dina's motto be?
The siren wrote upon the shore:
Death, not INCONSISTENCY
And then her large, languid eyes
So turned on mine that-SataA take ne /.
i set the air on FIRE with signs,
And was the fool she choose to make me,
Saint Francis would have been deceived
By such an eye aud such q hand;
But one week more, and l believed
As much the woman as the sand.
