tire week trades were made at figures above the
Cotton Exchange quotations. The weeks bust
ness was marked by greater degree OF activity
than has been experienCed I'm months. The preva-
lent opinion is that cotton has reached its lowest

that prices must advance. The reports from other
markets justify this opinion. The planting ele-
ment are very much encouraged. 1ney say that
cotton cannot be raised at present prices at profit

most obsolete Office of Recorder was
made one of vast powers, apparently TO
enable that officer to get an enormous
sum in fees. The Delinquent Tax Col
lector, he says, works not for the public
but to enrich himself. One of these Of
fees phys more than is paid TO the Presi-
dent of the United States. There are
clerks of courts and Registers of Wills
who are paid more than Judges or Sur
rogates. The Governor recommends
abolishing fees and fixing salaries where
ever it can be done. Public advertising
has been abused; the law should require
advertising in newspapers of guaran-
teed circulation. He calls attention to
former message on the relations Of
labor and capital. The law should pro-
teot the interests and rights OF the labor
er. He suggests that 1t is frequently
practicable for employees to give timely
notice before quitting work on account
of Il refusal to increnso wages, and for
employers to give the same warning be-
fore reducing pay. Attention is called
to charters granted years ago, bat never
used, and now being hawkod about for
sale. The Credit Mobilier was made
possible by this con iition of affairs, and
had its origin in tie purchaoe of Penn
