COTTON.

THE situation of the cotton market TODAY
IS not ut all favorable for better prices, and
IN Tact, the appearances indicate n further
decline. Long ago the HERALD endeayored
10 prepare It's readers for the present re-
suits. Not being interested in cotton fur
ther than desire for stable or enchanced
prices, it could see no good reason why
there should be an advance. The heavy
crop OF last year left large amounts on the
first day of last September in the
han1s OF spinners and dealers, both
IN this country and Europe, which
pre- We that the yield was larger than the
consumers required, and that even n fall
ing oil OF million bales from the season
before would still leave ample to supply
all demands. Whether or not these opin-
ions, compiled from the best data at hand,
were correct, we leave our readers to deter
mine. To-day the worlds visible supply is
above that OF last year, and the stock at all
the ports is greatly in excess of any pre-
vlous year at this season. In addition to
inns, the spinners in this country and
Europe are better supplied than last year,
and taking things just as they are, there
can oe no good reason advanced why cot
Ton should sell for higher prices than
IT brings to-day. II is true the receipts
daily are far below those OF last year, but it
VIII take months to bring down the stocks
to parity with last year, and by that time
the new crop Will be looked forward to with
interest, and if the outlook is favorable for
q good yield it will have tendency to keep
down prices. AT this season of the wear
the larger portion of the crop is in the
hands SPECTATORS, and it matters little
to the planter whether the market adj
vances or recedes. The staple has
brought a fair price during tile entire
season, and the producer, unless he has an
attack OF the speculation fever, has disposed
OF his product and is preparing for the next
years crop. This is the condition of affairs
at present-the spectators have the staple
III hand, and the bulls or the bears are the
only ones who will be benefited by an adj
vance or decline in the market.

Prohibition will be one Of the
first snags that will poke its head
up to bother the victors of Tuesday
last; and it will poke it high,
strong and often, like a Mississippi
sawyer Wellsbarq Herald.
And yet you can't make politi-
clans believe but that by putting
on party steam the old "Ship of
State will bear down upon it to its
utter demolition. And not until
the hull is full of oater will they
realize their mistake and betake
themselves TO prohibitory life-pre-
servers.
This morning, about 8 o'clock,
the kitchen adjoining a "gilded
palace of SIM" Dryden street, took
fire, but men from all quarters of
the city flocked to the rescue, and
with the aid of the guests put it
out. Look out for fire at this
place.-CaU.
There's fire in another quarter
that can't be put out, that it might
be well to warn them of.
The colored woman, Maria Jones,
was found dead in her bed yester-
day morning. She had been drink
ing quite heavy for some days, and
it is thought that she died from
the effects of the beverage-CaH.
1t seems the little "ad" headed
"Best for AL" down in the right
hand corner, didn't turn out best for
her.

In this connection it may be
mentioned that some Of the good
people of the city of Parkersburg,
having perhaps a mind to mutual
improvement, mentally, morally,
or socially, have concluded to fol
low the fashion and treat them
selves to a course of Lectures. "
But the committee having the
matter in charge seems to have
queer notions on the subject, The
hrSt lecture announced is on Ora
tory" And this impeis us to ask
what possible practical benefit can
lecture on such a subject be to
inc masses? 1t is certainly an
unfortunate beginning.
+, S;-But we beg pardon-per-
maps these lectures are only intend
ed for the upper-crust, utterly too
TOO sort of people, and there is no
Intention of benefting anybody.
Mere amusement! A better plan
would be to combine instruction
with amusement. This will be
the order in OUR ACADEMY Of
Music, Science and Art" when
opened.-Rjtcbie Democrat.
It's no use, Brother Zevely, if we
mourn you won't weep, if we pipe
you refuse to dance. The masses
can't wait for "Your Academy of
Music" Meantime they fill ours,
as on last Thursday night, and
were both enlightened and enter
tanned.

THE LEcTuRE.-A full house
greeted the Hon. Daniel Dougherty
on last Friday evening, and to
those who stayed away because the
subject suggested a labored, schol-
arly effort, we want to say: Under
a similar impression we were temp
ted to let the press Of double duty
keep US away. But having gone,
we arise to bear witness that it is
not safe to judge from a name the
nature of theme. He held the au-
dience with unwavering interest
Tor an hour by his matchless man
ner and matter And we venture
we were not the only one who went
away with new and improved
ideas of oratory. Don't be fooled
into staying away from the next
lecture by an unattractive subject.
The lecture in itself was the best
advertisement the Lyceum could
have.

its recent session in appointing a
Temperance Central Committee to
confer with other religious bodies
for the purpose of securing harmo-
ny in temperance work, and in re-
Spouse, the President of this Asso-
citation is directed to appoint like
Temperance Central Committee of
three persons to cooperate with
them.
Z. We recognize in the WEST
VIRGINIA FREEMAN an indispensi-
bic helper in the cause of Tenn
perance and Prohibition, and urge
upon all the good people of the
State, the duty of giving it all pos
sible aid in such ways as will best
serve to extend it's circulation and
influence. The FREEMAN ought to
be in every home in West Virginia.
The friends of the cause ought to
help put it there.
The author of the report opened
the way for the speakers to follow,
with brief introductory remarks,
mainly as to the universal impor
lance Of the matter under consid-
GRAFTON, after which the general
subject of Temperance and Prohi-
bition was discussed in the follow
ing order, in ten minute speeches:
l. The Evils of the Liquor Traf-
tic, by Rev. l.. e. Peters.
2. Our Policy, Rev. B. Cadc.
8. Our Progress, Dave d. John
son.
4. The Outlook, Prof. p B. Reyn-
olds.
5. The Duty of the Hour, Rev.
J. w. Carter.
We might from our notes, fila
column with the terrible pictures
drawn, the invincible arguments
marshaled against the reasonable
traffic and the many happy hits
made, that kept the crowded audi
ence at the livliest pitch of enthu-
siasm and in the best of humor,
but at best we could only give
taste of the richness of the feast.
1t was logical feast, Rev. l.. e.
Peters, laying the premises in II
dark array Of the evils of the traf-
fic, viewed from the several stand
points, viz. physical, mental, civil,
social, moral and religious. The
next speakers presented Our Policy
of absolute prohibition, illustrated
Our Progress in the work, and por-
trayed the promising outlook for
this grand enterprise, SO closely al
lied to the cause of Christ in the
salvation of humanity, and most
eloquently did Rev. J. w. Carter
emphasize the conclusion of the
whole matter by pointing out the
practical, urgent duties of the hour
for all Christian and temperance
people.
Thus we had the facts, eloquence
and appeals of a grand temperance
literary barbecue, all in one short
meeting and it were not amiss TO say
we editor was there to gather the
crumbs for the FREEMAN in a good
list of subscri bers.
The meeting was a grand sue
cess and closed with the liveliest
enthusiasm.

We failed to mention last week
that the Social at the M. E. Church
was the best we have ever attend
ed, beginning with the supper and
ending with the music. We don't
see how they can get up such sup
pers for Is cents. Aside from the
worthy cause they were instituted
to support-the only circulating IL
brary in the city-you get more
than the worth of your money in
good fare and delightful entertain
ment.

Baptist General Association.
Temperance Mass Meeting Saturday
EUe,,ing. Nov. II.

The commodious house of the
Hinton Baptist Church, in which
the sessions of the Association
were held, was packed full at an
early hour, when the exercises of
the evening were opened with
some most spirited and excellent
singing, led by d. t. G. Farrow,
with Miss Hattie Farrrow at the
organ, and earnest special prayers
by Revs. w. P. Walker, r. R. Sad
dler and others as called on by the
President, Prof Purinton conduct
ing the meeting.
The same being announced as
the order for the evening. Rev. w.
P. Walker, as the Committee, read
the following:
REPORT ON TEMPERANCE.
Your Committee on Temperance
beg leave to report as follows:
/. Believing that the traffic in in
toxicating liquors to be used as a
beverage, to be altogether wicked
and fearfully ruinous to all the in
terests Of society, and that to legal
ize traffic so fraught with woes, is
at once an objectionable wrong
against society, sin against the
Church, and calamity to the
State,
Therefore we, the representa-
tiyes of the Baptists Of West Vir-
ginia, in General Association as
sembled, do hereby re-emphasize
our protests against the legal
recognition of such traffic, save to
set ourselves against it with all our
might.
2. While pursuing diligently ev-
cry moral means to rescue the
tempted and perishing, it is our du-
ty as Christian citizens to see that
our State is preserved from this ma
lignant foe, and we declare anew
our confidence in legal prohibition
as the only sure protection against
this evil.
3. With gratitude to Him who
holds in His hand the destiny of
States and Of nations, we rejoice
as we review the progress Of tenn
perance in our country, bat espec-
tally in West Virginia, since the
movement for Prohibition was in
augurated two years ago. We con-
fdently expect that the present
Legislature elect, will submit the
Amendment the coming winter.
4. While politicians and party
leaders are glorying on the one
hand, or mourning on the other,
according to the strange issues of
the late general election, it is the
privilege of all good people to look
into this, as into all political and
civil revolutions, only for toe hand
of God, moving for the relief and
salvation of the right.
5. Repeating the oft prayed de-
sires of the suffering people of West
Virginia,in the name of the 81 900
Baptists of the State, we do earn
estly beg the members Of the pres
ent Legislature to submit the pro-
posed amendment to a vote Of the
people,
6. We are in sympathy with the
action of the M. E. Conference at
West Virginia freeman. (Parkersburg, W. Va.) 1881-1886, 1882-11-15

We take pleasure in welcoming
to our midst Mr.. Bassnett Cadwal-

AMONG OUR EXCHANGES.
Their Notions and Ours.

DAo' AAdi I. we III
tended to have been there. out the
boats were too "onsartin."
There was a pretty lively Skin
mish last Saturday evening at
Clark's corner. We rise to remark
that the whisky business had as
we'll be regulated now. 1t is the
duty of the Council to revoke the
license Of those who recklesslv or
wllfully violate the law restricting
the SALE Wetzel Democrat.
No use, Bro. Democrat: it won't
be regulated. With rare excep-
tions all who get license do so with
the deliberate intent to recklesslv
and wilfully violate the same. To
grant license is to grant drunken
ness, fighting, crime and endless
expense, suffering and sorrow. Let
us quit such foolishness.
The FREEMAN is full of explain
ations,-Ritchie Democrat.
Of course: tits the FREEMAN's
business to explain things. If the
people understood everything
Alright, we would not need to ex-
plain. We would then want to
live and labor on just to amuse
and edify our happy subscribers.
Thanksgiving Thursday, Novem-
Der 80. Fatten the turkey.-Er-
change.
Free advice, that. s'pose the
turkeys be all fattened; what good
to the average editor?
Col Corbitt, though recently mar
ried, is the same genial gentleman
as of yore. Tyler Star.
And why shouldn't he be? If the
Star in its course should pass with
in reach of Col. Corbitt's fair bride,
it might lose some of it's beams for
the intimation that a wife should
rob the Col. of his wonted genial
ity.
We will wager our Greeley hat,
which we keep on hand, that Foulk,
of Charleston, will be the ugliest
man in the Legislature, but then
his colleagues better not touch him
on law points.-Martinsburg States
man.
We will wager our last penny that
Writ county will be represented by
one of the best temperance work
ers, in the person Of NJ. H. Shirt,
He's not the ugliest man in the
State, either.-Mentor.
Wood county will doubtless have
the longest man in the Legislature,
our County Superintendent, Mr..
Stapleton, and then he's sound on
temperance, all along the line.
We are not worried about the
$4,000 suit. Some few people are
lau Ching now, think ing to them
selves they have US in tight place.
Mentor.
Laugh, indeedl The idea Of an
editor being worried about little
$4,000 suits! If you're bothered,
Bro. Wells, in getting a $4,000
bond changed, just pay it all into
Court and be done with it, and let
Bro. White of the Journal and Bro,
Morris, of the Gazette hand their
$4,000 apiece over to you for
change. What's the use fooling
with such small matters? Settle
'em up, and go on hunting up the
news.
The one great grief of Wetzel is
that she didn't allow John Hutch
inson to beat Col. Ben Wilson IN
1885, lVetzeg Democrat.
Now you see, if Wetzel had
minded rs two years ago, she had
been spared this great grief.
