A correspondent of the New York Bulle-
tin says there has never been year when
the out-turn of the American cotton crop

interests are ut stake. Estimates were
never so widely apart, ranging from 1900

know that the crop OF 1889 having been
5,07i,0oO bales, the following two years
showed an increase TO 5,76l 600 and 6,G06, 600
bales this last season, even
without'a top crop. Had there been one

New York Republicans.

The New York Republican Association
held q spirited meeting Saturday night in Gonzaga
Hail. the president, Mr.. A. N. Clapp, in the chair,
snd Mr.. J. V. n. Ogden secretary. After full dis
eussion of the subject it was decided to turn out
in body Oh the 4th of March, and Mr. T. J. Hen
Eey was chosen marshal for the occasion. It was
stated that the employees Of the Bureau of En-
craving and Printing were mainly Demo-
erats, and that such of them as were Hepub-
Ecans were subjected to gross indignities
by the foreman. A committee of three was
hereupon appointed to investigate the matter and
ascertain what redress there was for the wrongs
complained of, and the committee was instructed
that if it could not get satisfaction from the present
administration to bring it up before the incoming
one. The debate on this question favored the
strongest policy of "Stalwartism," the disposition
being to carry out to the letter the doctrine that
"to the victor belongs the spois. The question of
entertaining New Workers coming TO the inaugu-
ration of President Garfield was then taken up,
and it was decided to hold a conference with the
congressional delegation relative to the manner Of
reception. A committee, consisting of Repre-
sentative of each congressional district the State
was appointed for this purpose and after trans
seting some routine business the meeting adj
fOuTned.

Arrest of tile CuIprit.

Shortly after eight o'clock last night,
Mr. George T. Keen the Ninth street tailor, rushed
into the Fifth Precinct Station and stated to Ser
Eeant Hefner that he wanted an officer sent
around to his store, as it had been robbed while
he was absent from home little while, and Detee-
i've Acton was summoned, and, with Sergeant
Hefner, examined the premises and discovered
That the robbers had effected an entrance by the
rear, having broken sash out ofone oftne windows
bolts OF cloth being scattered over the foor while
several garments intended for customers were
found piled up near the back door, ready to be
taken off. Upward of $500 worth of goods were
missing, and the officers at started out to hunt
for the thieves Several officers were called and
stationed about the premises while Acton and
Heffner secured Temperance Alley At the upper
end, where the alley branches off, they came
across a canvas bag containing several pieces
Of the missing cloth. Simultaneous with this find
Acton spied colored man slowed under acart
He quickly seized him, and took him to the mouth
of the alley and turned him over to Officer Duval,
with instructions to take him to the station house
In making the transfer the thief was little too
quick for the officers and scampered off down
street Acton, Duvall, Lem Weeden, and several
others started after him, opening perfect fuslade
Of pistol shots. The thief was a good runner, but
no better than his pursuers, and, although he
gained the Smithsonian grounds trife
IN advance, his wind was exhausted and
he was quickly surrounded and captured. Upon
arriving at the station two new sveSts and coat
were taken off him. which Mr.. Keen identified as
his property. The prisoner gave his name as Will
lam Mack, and after being searched became sud
denly drunk and reticent, and sullenly accom-
panied his captors to a CELL where he was secured
until this morning. After the arrest another lot
Of cloth was found in a vacant lot, where the
prisoner had thrown it.

Our 10 per cent. discount is being

tages we possess over other houses

and that we give our customers the

Mis-. FRANCES WIZARDS Lecture.

Miss Frances Willard S lecture last night
at the Foundry Church was listened to by congre-
CATION which filled that church to oyerfowing. She
commenced with an allusion to Guido's celebrated
picture in the Capuchin Church at Rome of the
archangel Michael combating the enemy. 1t
seemed to her this was an image of the temper
ance cause to-day. With one foot upon the Rock
of Ages and the other on the neck of its PROSTATE
foe, intemperanee, the angel of temperance, it
seemed to her, was on the eve of
final victory. She gave synopsis of
progress made by the temperance cause in the
past seven years, and explained the manner in
which the Womans Christian Temperance Union
worked. The chief plan was to get the victim to
realize that outside of his weak, fltering will
was astronger one-God' swill-upon which he coud
rely Coax the bottle out of his side pocket and
put the New Testament in. In the seven years
since that wonderful pentecost of temperance in
Ohio the work that had been done was immense
By making common cause, as it were, with the
victim of intemperanee; by letting him feel that
you were working in the same cause in which you
desired to enlist him, much good had been accom-
plished by the Woman's Temperance Union.
Miss Willard paid a high compliment to Mrs.
Hayes for her firm and beneficial stand in favor of
temperance, and in banishing the use IF liquor
from the White House. She alluded to the prize
ring having been condemned by the force of pub
lie opinion and disappearing of the duello and of
the practice Of selling mothers from their children
on the slave block In all these society had called

none, and that man not interested in the subject
was in state of suspense which caused mental
and physical deterioration To be sure, there were
statements made in religion which would require
proving, but in this age truth would easily over
throw error. Speaking of the manner of salvation,
he said all denominations had the same essential
beliefin God and human destiny, their only differ

difference what a man called his religion if he
could be saved by its teachings and did his duty
