Ascending OLA Pickpooket.

J. Scott, the willy pickpocket who some
days ago robbed DR.. II. +. johnson of
500, has shaken the dust of these parts
from his feet and departed to other fic Ids.
Since his trial before Mayor McGill, he
has been behind the bars of the city Jail
for lack of $50 bond. Some days since
u woman claiming to be his wife, ap-
peared upon the scene and at once went
o work to secure a bondsman, realizing
that unless this was accomplished be-
fore Circuit Court met Monday, Scott
would be placed behind the walls of the
State penitentiary, where he would not
soon have the pleasure of picking pockets.
She accordingly deposited the amount
in the Capital State Bank, Saturday,
when Messrs. Thomas L. Helm and i. w.
Griffith became SCOTS sureties That
evening the twain left on the express
train bound northwards.
When the Grand Jury met Monday, the
first thing it did was 10 find true bill
against Scott tor larceny. A telegram
was at once sent to several stations in
Illinois through which his train had to
pass, and intelligence was soon received
that he had been arrested at Odin, ILL
nolS. Deputy SherlHS l.. r. ChIleS ANA
\. G. Lewis, armed with requlsition
from Gov. Lowry started after him Mon
day night, but before they arrived he
was again released.
He is desperate character and noted
thief but the chances for bis ever being
brought to trial are exceedingly SLIM

A later issue of the Ledger states that
Scott succeeded in making good his es-

Mrs. Myra Clark Gaines, the
great litigant, died last week in
New Orleans. She was one of the
most remarkable women of the age.
The manuscript report of Mrs.
Gaines trial is filed in the office of
the clerk of the Supreme Court al
Washington and measuree three
feet in height. The case before the
Supreme Court is an appeal of the
City Of New Orleans, and involves
about 100000. In the ordinary
course of business before the Su-
preme Court it would take about
Two years to reach Mrs. Gaines
case. During her life time she
would not listen to any suggestions
of settlement, but insisted on push
ing the case to judicial adjustment.
Some friends have looked into the
case before the Supreme Court, and
without being prepared to speak
positively they think it may now be
settled without awaiting judicial
determination. They think that her
heirs or executors will probably
consent to some adjustment of the
question in dispute.

Cotton Statement.

NEW IOhk, Jan. OTu, 1000.
When we issued our annual circular
in Scptlast the market for cotton and
cotton goods was very depressed. In
that circular, after giving some rea-
sons why more cheerful view Of the
situation should be taken, we re-
marked that there was no probably
that the growing crop would be a
large one, and we ventured To pre-
diet that before the end of the year
the whole situation might change
for the better. 1t is admitted now
that the crop cannot much exceed
that of last year while it may fall
short of it, and in prices a marked
rise has taken place.
The stock in Liverpool is $4,000
bales less than last year and LOG, 900
bales less than in 1888.
Stock in u. 5. Ports is 262,452
bales less than last year and 5O,063
more than in 1883.
The total visible supply of cotton
in the world is 350,41S bales less
than last year and 9S,9l2 bales less
than in 1883.
This decrease in the total visible
supply Is owing to the enormous
consumption OF cotton, which is fully
as large as it was last year and larger
than in 1888.
The export demand for our cotton
has been very great this season, for
although general business through
out the world has been dull for some
time and heavy shrinkage in values
of all kinds has occurred, and
although some leading products
have been over produced, the present
position OF cotton is strong.
Receipts at the L. S. Ports have
been free but great strngency in
money matters in the South, an un-
usually fine picking season and per
fected means of transportation have
all combined to cause an earl y move
ment of the crop. SO free a move
nent out OF crop of but moderate
size must cause a more than usually
abrupt falling OFT in receipts ut an
early date.
In view of all these facts 1t is clear
that the question of the cotton sup
ply for the coming year is OF great
Importance. That the acreage will
be as large as it was last year is I'M
likely. The financial condition Of
the planting interest South is such
that large outlay of money is nee
essary to make the new crop, but it
is almost certain that the prevailing
depression in business and the timid-
ity of capital will cause merchants
and factors to greatly lessen their
advances and in some instances to
cut them off altogether. This will
have an immense influence on the
planting and may have Oh the price
III Tue spring.
To sum mp the situation in a word,
many mills have been closed or run
ming short time, stocks Of goods
have greatly diminished; the de
mand tor cotton will continue large
while the supply will grow smaller
as the year goes on; general bust
ness is likely to improve, and Cot
ton is an article quickly affected
by any improvement in trade. The
price of cotton is comparatively low
now, but it is not unlikely that a
steady and marked advance will
take place i'll it as the season pro
crosses. Yours truly,
LATHAM. ALEXANDER IL Co.

the statement that the expenses
to January lst, were $3.50, 900
more than the management
estimated for. Continual rains, i'm
passable streets, delays of exhibi-

and other elements have operated
against financial success thus far;

revenue will be ten times the amount
of expenses" Committees are also

What will 1t accomplish if il be.
comes n law? We answer that TO
this county alone it will save about
ten thousand dollars annually. II
will save it in this way. The bill
provides that the railroads running
through two OF more States "shall
not charge more fov 8 short haul
than Tor long haul"
The Illinois Central Railroad de-
livers a bale Of cotton from Grand
Junction to New Orleans for one
dollar, but it charges 50 40 Tor de
livering a bale of cotton from
Brookhaven to New Orleans. 1t
delivers dour from Chicago or ST.
Louis to New Orleans for about fifty
cents per barrel. 1t charges twice
that much to deliver it from Chica.
go to Brookhaver. This bill puts
an end TO this sort Of discrimination.
1t says to the railroad, charge what
YOU please for carrying freight from
Chicago To New Orleans, but you
shall not charge a station on the
route to that city more than you
charge the merchant or consumer
in New O.leans. II you fix the rate
on bale of cotton from Grand
Junction to New Orleans at a dol
lar, you shall not charge the citi-
zens Of Brookhavcn more than a
dollar for transporting theirs.
Now under the operation of this
bill the freight may go up at com
peting points, but it is certain they
must go down at intervening points.
If this bill passes the people OF Lin
coin county will ship their cotton
next year from this place at not ex
ceeding one dollar and fifty cents
per bale. That will save to the
producers of the staple at least five
thousand dollars per annum.
What does this mean ? 1t means
that there will be saved on ship
ments going out and coming in to
Lincoln county ten thousand dol,
lars per annum. 1t means that the
lands will increase in value; that
the money lenders who are skinning
the farmers will have to put down
the price of money, and general
prosperity and cheerfulness will
take the place of haggard faces and
dilapidated homes.
Will it Kill! the railroads ? Not
at all. But railroad officials will
get smaller salaries. Such infa
nous schemes as were practlced by
McComb, who when he controlled
a majority OF the stock of the road
nearly bankrupted it by selling To
it everything it bought or had need
for, at two prices, will have tc
stop. Like every other business il
will have to be conducted on a le'
gitimate basis. When the profits Of
an enterprise exceed the reasonable
reward of labor and capital, there is
room and an invitation for all sorts
of venal schemes, but when there
are only Legitimate profits the cor
morants for cash will have to 60
