they do not get paid for them. Read
what il saws: "The price of cotton is
fixed nj Liverpool, and determines
the rate paid in this country. The
rule governing the price in the Liver
pool Exchange Is as follows: The
gross loading weight IL taken before
the cotton l. mcnded or sampled, then
the weight of bands the number being
counted and small number weighed,
so as to get at the wcigt of the total
number. and after that the tare of four
pounds per hundred weight--the re-
suit being the net wcight--and il this
net weight is less than the guaranteed
weight, or per cent, below the gross
American shipping weight, then II
claim for the deficiency is made 1t
IL thus shown that the weight Of the
ties Is eliminated from every transac-
ton, throwing their cost exclusively
on the cotton producer, and that, so
far from selling them at the price of
cotton. he gets nothing for them ut

RECEPTION OF THE CIVIL SERVICE
LETTER

The cordial approval by Democrats of the
letter of the President-elect on civil service
reform is sorely Disappointing to the organs
and demagogues Of the late lamented G. o.
2. How often have these pictured to the
public gaze and hearing tumultuous rush
by "hungry Democrats" for the Offices. They
have Rugged the deIusion that greed for
spoils and the precipitste demand for them
would bring disgrace upon the party, while
hvslries and jeslousies would soon split it,
much TO the benefit of its rival. But the
universal commendstion Of Democrats who
have given expression upon the letter indi-
Gates positive patriotism. Conceding de-
sire TO obtain the Offices 30 soon as the sd-
ministration can with safety make the
changes, the Democracy yet desires more
the thoroughly successful operation Of the
Governmental machinery. Il lie apparent
now, even to the most blinded par
