ness men would seal their circulars, and everybody
give up the telltae postal card, likely to be
fulfilled,

COTTOy KING DETHRONED.

The great cotton failure Of Liverpool enforccs
the same lesson that was taught by the collapse
of the Lord of Lard at Chicago, the Lord of
Leather at Boston, and the clothing firms in this
city. Speculation in products leads surely to
an artificial and false state Of the markets; thus
it contracts the operations of consumers and
legitimate dealers the speculative holders or
sellers are then drawn beyond their depth in
desperate efforts to control the markets against
natural influences; and the end sovcrloadingan
collapse Ranger, the daring operator III cotton
has disturbed the cotton trade and manufacture
of two continents more than once. When he
made money, it was gained at a cost Of much
suffering to millions OF poor operatives and
workers great loss to producers and manufact-
urers. and serious embarrassment to legitimate
traders. Now that he has lost enormously,
other people do not gains on the contrary,
workers and producers, capitalists and honest
traders, suffer "a before from the disturbance OF
the markets, while even those who have won
from the great gambler cannot get their money.
1t is strange that, with 80 many examples to
teach the pernicous effects of gambling In
products whether successful or unsuccessful,
there should still be any lingering excuse for it
in public sentiment. The facts prove that It re-
suits In evil, and nothing but evil, and that con-
tinually.
Liverpool borrowed the Cotton King from this
country, and it was not a profitable loan to
make. In 1881, when the excitement and mu-
tual strain of the great corner, it is said, made
Mr.. Ranger temporarily insane, he nevertheless
pocketed profits of about 81 100000, and Liv-
erpool suffered heavily. This time his liabilities
are said to be G1,080,000, partly at Hayrc,
partly in this country, but mainly ut Liverpool,
where several other firms have been dragged
down to bankruptcy and the whole trade is
Frustrated for a time. But in this instance, as
in Others the collapse Of spectators will doubt
less prove beneficial in the end. 1t will clear
the way for legitimate exchanges between pro-
ducers and consumers and both will once more
be enabled to base their operations mainly upon
the facts of supply and demand. If this natural
condition of the market can be restored, there
will be less danger Of Over-productOn or partial
failure of supply, because the markets will give
some indication of the real situation, and the
manufacturers will no longer feel that, in
making preparations to put out large line of
goods, they are simply gambling in the price of
cotton, and against n powerful and unscIupu-
lous clique in control of the markets.

The event recently celebrated at Newburg was
tho proclamation by the Continental Congress
disbanding the Revolutionary Army. That action
was taken on October Is, 1888. The general
order of the COmmander-in-Chiefw was not issued
until November 1. 1t is known Washington's
farewell to his army and was written at Princeton.
1t was read in camp hundred years ago this day,
and the army was formally disbanded. A small
force was excep pied from the provisions of the gen.
era order. This remnant of the Continental Army
remained at West Point under the command of Gen-
era Knox and entered New York on the day Of the
evacuation by the British. The arrangements for
the departure of the garrison and the entry of the
Continental soldiers made at Dobb's Ferry by
Washington, Governor Clinton and Sir Guy Garlic
ton. Knoxs troops encamped over night at Har-
lem, and halted the site of Cooper Institute,
while the dctachments of British regulars were be-
ing transferred from Whitehall to the transports
The Brooklyn Eagle has charged THE TRIBUNE with
referring Contemptuously to Mr.. Hendrix as "Only
reporter" This phrase has not been used in these
columns. In our estimation the reporters of the
metropolitan press are most laboriOus, painsakng
and enterprisng class of literary workmen. They
recruited mainly from the graduating classes al
American colleges, and as rule they are well -edu-
Gated and well-bred, truthful and honorable men,

that II the newspapers more attractive to-day
than they have been in the past the result is largely
due to the zeal aud intelligence of the reporters
Nevertheless it is true that when acoegian applies
for work in newspaper Office he is assigned to duty
in the reporters room and promotions are ordinarily
made from that quarter. Mr.. Hendrix began to
collect Brooklyn news about the time the mud cam
paign against Mr.. Beecher opened, and when no was
nominated for Mayor was still employed In the same
field. Undoubtedly he has been a useful man to his
employers but he cannot be credited with obtain
ing marked distinction in the profession. The ques-
tion however, which the people of Brooklyn have
to decide is not whether he is good reporter, but
solely whether he will make a better Mayor than
Mr. Low.
Senator Coke, of Texas, who is n downright Demo-
crat accustomed to saying what he means, declares
that he can see but difficulty In the way of
Democratic success next year. and that is tho tariff
question. But his view "a TO what constitutes the
difficulty" differs from that of tho Hon. Samuel
j. Randall. and the 0hio-Virginia- Pennsy lyania-
New-Jersey straddle. He says tho question win
not and cannot be ignored, and must be met Ii the

are involved in it or not. What the unknown
authors of the great fraud tried to do for Mr..
Tilden in 1876, they would try to do again, for
him or for any other Democratic candidate
under equal promises of success.

infict that heavy penalty upon Raymond VINO
had been previously convicted of felony.
This provision of the Penal Code puts a crtme
against property on par with a crime against
life 1t makes the punishment OF forgery as
heavy as that of murder in the second degree
and heavier than that of many actual murders.
Policeman Mcnamara, who killed a lad with ms
club, has years vacation in JAIL Raymond
forger, goes to State Prison for life. Some OF
the judges have already expressed themselves
regarding the injustice of this provision, and
the Legislature should take early action upon 1t.

~ EXTRAORDINARY PENALTY.

The life sentence bestowed upon the forger,
Raymond, is a gross injustice committed in
obedience to the strict injunction of the Penal
Code. Raymond had in his possession genu-
inc Union Pacific coupon for forty dollars, the
number of which had been altered. He adj
mitted that he knew the coupon had been
stolen but denied that he knew it was
forged He was found guilty of having it with
intent to utter and dcfraud, which constitutes
forgery in the first degree. The Penal Code, in
providing additional penalties for a second COM
victiOn Of felony, declares that where the second
crime is such that the prisoner "might in the
discretion of the Court" be sentenced to an i'm
prisonment for life, he must be so sentenced
The penalty for forgery in the first degree is
imprisonment "for not less than ten years."
Under this clause a forger could be sentenced,
In the discretion of the Court, to imprisonment
for life and the Court was therefore Obliged to

Congress should carefully revise the Land laws
Mt its next session. There is no doubt, rs Com
missioner Mcfarland states in his annual re-
port, that there are too many lOOpholes Tor
frauds in the present laws. Presumption filings
are made to great extent for speculative pur-
poses, and much valuable land is thus withheld
from actual settlement The Commissioner
recommends the repeal of the Presumption law
and change in the Homestead laws so as to re-
quire proof of actual residence and improve
ment for period of two yeas before an entry
may be committed by cash payment. That is a
sensible recommendation. The Commissioner
thinks that the public interests will be served
by total repeal of the Timber Culture act.
Travellers through the Territories agree with
the Commissioner i'll stating that no trees are to
be seen over vast regions of country where tim
Der culture entries are known to be numerous.
The Desert Land law is also pronounced Objec-
tionabe. The abuses have increased in proper
ton as the public domain decreases. The rapid
disposal of the available agricultural, grazing
and timber lands makes the need of the change
in the laws the more imperative.

1t is to be hoped that General Sherman does
not take too rosy view of the Indian question.
He regards it as substantially eliminated from
the problem of the Army. The completion of
the transcontinental lines of railway, and the
large immigration into the territories, have, no
doubt, done much to settle this question. Fair
treatment of the Indians in the future is all
that is necessary to prevent further trouble.
If the Chamber of Commerce can bring about
some of thei reforms it proposed yesterday it
will accomplish good work. 1t has been
found a difficult matter to draft IA National
Bankruptcy law that will attract general sup
port. Perhaps the committee appointed yes
terday can solve the problem. The RENE
dies for stock watering and kindred matters
considered by the Chamber have occupied q
great deal of the time of Legislators, without
any satisfactory solution having been reached.
Lord Rossmore's recent Orange circular bore
fruit yesterday in the attack on the Nationalist
procession in Londonderry. 1t became neces-
sary for the Nationalist TO seek Government
protection, which is a new position for them to
be placed in. The leaders in the riot ought to
be severely punished, but there is not much
room for sympathy with the Nationalist. Their
meetings in Ulster are ayowedly held to pro-
mote a feeling of disloyalty. The result must
be weakening of the Nationalist cause.
The strength of republican institutions is
fairly shown in tho unconcerned manner with
which the public regards the transfer of the
command of the Army. Such an event in any
pther great Nation, as that which took place in

This seemed to call for an "excuse" from Holman.
The consequence has been that since the picture
was hung up The Sun has been endeavoring, with
apparent honesty of purpose, to retrieve its fell
error by insisting that there Is no great depth to
beauty; that handsome is what Holman does. But
now once again Mr.. Holman Is furnished with
another proof of his admirers passion, either NAL
adroit or simulated. Aware that Holman and Hol-
mans iyer-pad are and inseparable in the
popular thought, that to sheer at the pad Is to
sheer at its prot6g6, The Sun does not hesitate TO
write as follows: In right-dOwn cold weather a
bottle is as much better than boards double
breasted beaver overcoat Ifs better than liver-pad"
Did thoughtlessness maignity inspire this utter

tho Presidency, but he is as all other men
are, our candidate for fair play. And hence we
earnestly protest against the treatment no is re-
ceiving from the heart in which ostensibly he is
enshnned as an idol. He may well question the

first in wantonly dragging the Holman picture to
the light and then in assang the character of the

where love is than the stalled of affection that

FATAL FRIENDSHIP ILLUSTRATIVE

The impression has got abroad that The Suns ar
dent devotion to William S. Holman lacks either
sincerity or dexterity. True our contemporary has
energeticay doomed Mr.. Holman for the Presi-
dency. But then, on the other hand, it has made
awful havoc of any nebulous chances he may have
in that direction by admitting into its columns
without protest, and certainly not q guarantee
of good faith what ii alleges is faithful likeness
Of this son Of Indiana. People, with bated breath

Washington yesterday would attract wide
snread attention and sOlicitude. But III this
country it is apparently considered as matter
of small importance. This is partly due to the
fact that our Army is only regarded in the light
of n police force; though more TO the fact that
the veteran who retired yesterday was sue
ceeded by a well-tried and faithful commander
like General Sheridan.
The canvass in Brooklyn is developing some
interesting facts. 1t is now shown that the
cost of the Brooklyn Bridge was sd, 0Oo,OOo'
Mayor Lows efforts in fastening the compile
ton of that work were not appreciated by some
of the Bridge Trustees, and they are
supporting Mr.. Hendrix. The trustees rear
that Mayor Low will interfere with their
schemes for rapid transit on the Bridge. lie
will undoubtedly do what he can to give the
public rapid transit, which is what some OF the
trustees apparently want to prevent. IheH
pottering over q cable system that has long
been in successful operation in other cltles Is a
fair indication of their unftness for the posi-
tiOns of trust they occupy.
The pathway of the Democratic harmon
izern is not loweTy one in this city Mt the pre-
sent time. Mr.. Ecclesine and his associates can
testify to that fact. They undertook to get MIR.
Kelly and Mr.. Thompson TO unite on candidates
for the Senate in three districts which the Re-
publicans are fairly certain to carry. Not only
did the thermometers " signally fail, but they
were charged with making the attempt in order
to secure political capital for themselves. II
they profit by the lesson they will hereafter
cease to intermeddle with the direction of the
affairs of the Democratic party in this city.
That concerns only Mr.. Kelly and Mr.. ThOmp-
son. The remainder of the party should
meekly obey orders, and vote as either one OF
the other of the two leaders directs.
