The first Republican state con-
vention of Importance held since the
development of any policy on the
part of President Arthur, that of
Oregon, was in session on Thursday
last. After nominating a full state
ticket, it denounced the anti Chinese
veto, condemuing it as being in VIC
lation of the platform of the last
National Convention. This proceed
ing will not probably annoy the Pres
idsnt in the slightest degree. He
does not pretend to be influenced at
all by the feeling on the Pacific coast,
taking his cue from other sections
and looking to other interests. Ore
gon will very likely be offset by
Pennsylvania, which in her Repub-
lican convention soon to assemble,
will indorse the administration pol
icy. anti Chinese included.

ACCORDING to the Yazoo { Miss.
Sentinel, many planters in that SEQ
tion say they would not part with
the advantage the overflow will be
to their lands for a nice little sum OF
money. The sediment deposited by
the food will do the soil more good
than any fertilizer that could be
placed on it, so they argue. One
gentleman goes SO far as to remark
that the cotton lands will now be
worth from S. to S. more per acre
than formerly.

THIS is the question asked by
the Boston Commercial Bulletin, and
which it attempted to answer as fol-
lows: Last years crop of cotton was
100000 bales, and it is now quite
we'll settled that the production for
the current year ending August 81,
1882, will foot up less than $500, 900
bales. Last years crop was greater
than the worlds requirements and
yielded surplus. which has been
carried forward into the present year
to such an extent that the visible
supply of cotton in the world to day
is but $4,000 bales smaller than it
was April %, 1881, and is 100000
bales larger than it was April %,
1880. But from this time forward
thero will be a constant decrease in
the supply until the new crop year
commences in September, and if
spectators were able to secure such
successful control of the market in
August, 1881, what may they not ac-
complish in August, 1882, with sew
eral hundred thousand bales less cot
ton to be taken care2 As already
intimated, however, it is the unex-
pected that most frequently happens
to the multitude of mercantile opera
tors; and perhaps the very fact that
an August corner is SO generally ex-
pected will do much to prevent its
occurrence.

The banquet at an end the remainder of
the evening was spent at the St. Simon

account of his travels, He stated that
he had been most successful in putting
down slavery, and that on one occasion
upward of l20 slaves had come to him
to implore the protection of "the father
OF the slaves, II have devoted seven
years" said he, "to the exploration of

And when with his right hand he showed the
way
She wrapped her mantle round her aud de-

The road was hard, and thick with pointed
stones
That cut her feet and made tears brlm her

But, ceasing not, she 1ourneyed all the day,

Taking no heed OF sight or sound-when 10
Suddenly. with fierce cry. one eapt upon her,

rs me Editor Of The Ereaiaq critic;
have followed with much interest your
dnily protests against the fact that such an In
dispcnsable article rs gas should, rs far rs
this city is concerne I, be vested In the hands
OF a monopoly. Monopollos are always bane-
ful and arc a growing evil in tho country
which viii ere long cause serious trouble, but
when company who possess that privilege
abuse Il 20 the extent OF charging an exorbi-
tant ratio for very inferior article, and whose
proceedings are invariably characterized as
arbitrary and exacting, Il Is timo that the
citizens OF Washington should remember that
they live in n free country, and should try and
shake on the yoke. The writer was much In
terested some fifteen years ago In ono Of tho
Old World cities in just such fight. The gas
was in3he hands OF a monopolist (at that time
tho electric light had not been heard OF, and
though the quality was very fair, decidedly
better than our gas, tho charge was so per
cent. more than paid by other cities OF a cor
responding size. By the exertions of-about a
dozen large consumers, strongly aided by the
press, limited liability company was
formed, and though 1t had to oppose
antagonism OF the strongest kind, es-
pecially rs to tearing up the pavements

splendid financial success and acknowledged
They started with gas, II anything, superior
In quality TO that originally supplied at de-
cidedly lower rate. Since then they have twice
reduced their charge and twice Increased their
rate of dividend to their shareholders Now,
Mr.. Editor, why should 1t not be practicable
to start Mutual Gas Company on the limited
liability plan in Washington? The under
taking e big one, own, but no bigger than
many others that have had a successful ter
mination. AS far as can learn, though many
attempts to Incorporate a rival company have
been formed, and one is, i believe, now pend
ing, mono have ever attempted the mutual
or cooperative plan. By mutual mean that
the stock shall be such that any consumer can,
II he or she desires, be a stockholder, and so
by patronizing the company beadding to their
own profits. Say, for Instance, that the first
issue of stock shall consist of 100000 shares
at So, what consumer is there who would not
invest $5 or SO, II only with the hope OF get
ting cheaper gas, not to say free lightP Then
again, being formed as a limited liability
company, each investor would know exactly
what he was risking, the liability of each be-
ing confined to the amount of stock held.

your valuable space, beg to subscribe myself
