SoME idea of the magnitude of the
business done in cotton futures may b..
formed from the fact that last week
the sales Of futures in New York
nmouted to 635.000 bales; it was rath
or a dnll week for such transactions
1t will be seen that nine weeks sales
are sufficient to cover m average sea
sons crop, and that the entire sales OF
futures for the year amount to from
six TO ten crops. II the purchase and
sales of something that does not exist
is not gambling, it has to the nm

EASTER MORNING.

EASTER MORNING.
Edith Fitzgerald in "Our Continent"
A voicetul silence riIls the nceting Night;
A noteless song Ia qlivering through the
air;
The daughter of the soa-god, Silvery Dawn..
Calleth her scattered forces to draw near. o..
Responsive to the summons from the top
OF mounts and depths of wales, and from the
sea, 90.
Roll clouds of fairest opal, pearl and gray,
Moving to sounds Of shadowy minstrelsy.
4 fash OF crfmso bursts from out the East;
Gathering her heecy columns flies the
Dawn,
After the fleeing host OF Night she flies,
skies,
And Easter Day Is born.
On earth the faithful have their watch been
keeping
For forty weary days and nights
In sackcloth and in ashes bitter weeping
Turn they away from this celestial light
They do not know how could they THAT the
glory
Shedding golden light DER land and sea,
Is the reflection OF the angels story
That CNRIsT o'cr Death has won the victory.
The Easter bells, what means their joyous
pcaIing!
You seem to draw it in with every breath;
What means this song angels and men are
telling: ed
Ring bells: Sing people! Every glad .tote
swelling
Is the death knell of DEATH =.

Two men now prominent candidates
for tho possession of several tons OF
Government money are Captain Eads
and Mr.. Corbin. Captain Eads thinks
that all appropriation of $4,000, ,0OO
would be about right with which to
build the ship railroad across the 18TH
mus of Panama, the money to be placed
at the disposition of Eads himself, and
Mr.. Corbin has got it into his head that
by similar appropriation, placed at his
disposal, he would be enabled to run
ships across the ocean in six days. There
seems to be power in money in large
quantities about which we know little OF
nothing.

which he wished to sell to me for publ

it would not be worth while to spend my
time to even look at the story, for it
seemed to me that such an idiotic- look
ing fellow could not write anything that
would be fit to print. He pleaded &C
hard, however, to have me just look al
his story that I finally consented to take
the manuscript and submit it to one oi

Mercenary Wars.

Capital, already red with crime, has
added another sin to her bloody list. 1t
is perceived, since the battles have been
fought and made their slaughter, that
the French war in Tunis was caused by
the French money sharks, who desired
to extend their financial operations.
The "Credit Foncier" of France, which
may answer to our "Credit Mobilier," is
responsible for the Tunis war. Govern
ments ought to be above these soulless
corporations and able to resist their
selfish aggressions. The industrious
Italian went into North Africa, and be-
gan to construct railroads. The French
capitalists became possessed with the
idea that they would speculate in these
shadow representations OF wealth. Ihey
invested. They became entangled in
the net, and hence the war. French
capital appealed to French arms for
protection. France answered the appeal
affirmatively and went to war. A more
mercenary campaign was never waged,
under the banners Of civilized nation
Heaven knows that wars, under whatever
auspices, are cruel, barbarous and
brutal to the last degree. They repress
the man and develop the brute. They
smother the good in humanity, and
throw to the surface the evils OF the
race. Ferocity takes the place Of force,
and savagely usurps the place OF bravery.
Az General Sherman said, "In whatever
light we look at IL, war is hell" One OF
the great works Of civilization yet to be
accomplished, is to disarm the world.
To 20 to work to crafty ambition is a
terrible sin; to take up arms to use IN
anger il weak, % well as wicked; but to
20 to war for plunder, for mercenary
ends, is to be unspeakably depraved.
The mon who sent the army against
Tunis were the money sharks Of Paris
