A VOICE FROM EUROPE

We publish elsewhere the report of the
Bremen cotton exchange, the largest on
the continent of Europe, on the subject
of cotton and jute bagging.
The Bremen exchange shows a far
more liberal spirit in the matter than
that of Liverpool. Not being interested
in jute as the Liverpudians are, it does
not favor a policy that will discriminate
against the Southern product, cotton
bagging, and is perfectly willing to give
the latter trial and determine is value.
All the Bremen exchange insists on is
that the cotton be we'll secured, that the
bagging fully cover the bale, protecting
it against country damage and decrease
ing the risk. If this is done it can see
no reason why cotton bagging should not
be used as well as jute or in its place. 1t
Snotes, however, that some of the several
SEarieties of bagging last year were not
sgaltogether satisfactory; but it does not
present this as reason why cotton bag
ging should be objected to, as it should
rest on its own merits.
The Bremen exchange, unlike that of
| Liverpool, is wholly uninterested in lutte.
Jute is not German product, and there
fore the German exchange is thoroughly
dislnterested III the matter and able to
decide between the American claim for
cotton and the English claim for lutte;
and it decided very properly that the
material with which the cotton is covered
makes no difference, provided it is serv-
iceable, safe and advantageous, and it is
willing therefore to make some arrange
ment by which cotton bagging can be
used on terms Of equality with jute.
1t is advisable in the opinion of the
committee - it reports, ''to make a
Il hokr 41,n
heavieE covering, allowing only 4 per
cent. for the loss in weight on the cot
ton-covered bales, while deductipg 6 per
cent. as at present, on those wrapped in
the heavier material now in use. AS
soon as the committee shall be advised of
the adoption of the proposed changes, it
Will not fail to lay the matter immedi-
ately before the members of the ex-
change, and acquaint you promptly
with their decision on the subject of al
tering or amending the form Of contract
now in use on the Bremen cotton ex-
CHANGE
1t will be noted that Bremen is favora-
bly, disposed toward the proposed ex-
change. All it asks is that the bagging
shall be goed-it does not matter of what
material it is made.
The cause of cotton bagging seems to
be growing stronger every day. 1t was
feared at first that the American ex-
changes would show an unfriendly dispo-
sition, but they have come warmly to its
support; it was them. supposed that
the European exchanges would
take the same position as Liverpool.
This is now proved to be an error, as the
most important{ exchange on the conf
nent has shown the friendl1est feeling
and desire to be fully just in this aGaf-
ter.
without the farmers and planters ,sthe
factors and buyers, and the American
exchanges united, and with the European
changes willing to deBr fairly in this
matter. it viii be wonderful indeed If
Liverpool can carry its point, and COM
pei American farmers to bale their cot
ton in British jute -

Ell PAsO, TEX, Aug. 3l.-The agony
is at last over and Mr.. Frank Clark ~

that he stood much chance as any one of
a dozen applicants for the position here,
and that he would weigh in the balance

thought of for a moment. A prominent
Republican here remarked: at

party lines were drawn, he was defeated.
This is one instance where the pTesfaeRt

COTTON BAGGING.
The Bremen Exchange FayOrs Granting
Difference in Tare.
What the Largest Cotton Exchange on the Con-
tinent of Europe Says of Cotton and
Jute Bagging.
New Orleans Times-Democrat.

The following letter received from the
Bremen cotton exchange is in response to
the circular of the New Orleans ex-
change, issued in the latter part of May
last, declaring in favor of an equitable
adjustment of the bagging question, so
as to afford proper opportunity for COM
petition of the different fabrics for COW
ering cotton bales without prejudice to
buyer or seller Of the staple. 1t is of
special interest, in view of the approach
ing convention of American exchanges:
''BREslEN CoTToN EXCHANGE.
''TO the New Orleans Cotton Exchange:
''GENTLEMEN-I beg to acknowledge receipt Of
your valued favor Of May % incloslng your clrcu,
lar entitled, Cotton Bagging,' the contents of
which have had careful attention.
THE committee of the Bremen cotton ex-
change has no objection to present to the pro-,
posed introduction OF a new covering for cotto5S
bales made OF cotton itself, provided that theLES
by, through the adoption of a heavier stu6S9a
baCging may be secured which will completely
cover the bale and, besides protecting the COTTON
against country damage, decrease the risk ftem
hPe, an end which is unQuestiOnably deSirabl9s
; 'LasEseaSon several styles of bagging ware
used, the character of some OF which was not I'd
together satisfactory; but this committee does
not doubt that you viii be successful in securing
covering which viii meet all requirements as
regards durability and strength, III which cases
great improvement.
According to your communication, the. new
baggiug VIII be over per cent. lighter than the
old, and jas introduction is, therefore, likely to
meet with difficulties while cotton continues to
be sold by gross weight without regard to the
weight of the bagging used. It becomes neceS-
sary, therefore, to secure the adoption as far as
possible, of the actual tare' Tufe in selling
American cotton. As long, however, as this
rule is not generally Recognised, it would seem
inadvisable, in the opiTieh OF the committee, to
make a distinction between the lighter and
heavier covering when Offering cotton C. i. f..
by, for instance, allowing only per cent. for
loss in weight the cotton covered bales, while
deducting$ per cent, as at present, on those
wrapped Ia the heavier material now in use.
As soon as the committee shall be advised of
the adoptioH of the proposed changes it win not
fail to lay the. matter Immediately before the
members of the eXchange and acquaint You
promptly of their decision on the subject of
altering or amending the form of contract now
in on the Bremen cotton exchange. Very
respectfully, G. B. BRAUER,

Frank Clark's Victory.

Special TO the Gazette.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 31.-A telegram
from Deer Park to-day brought the
gratifying news to Frank P. Clark of FL
Paso that he has been appointed collec-
tor of customs at that place. This ends
the most stubbornly contested and long
est drawn out fight in which Texans were
engaged since the grand invasion Of
washington early in March for the spOils
ef war. Clark won wOrthily, and he
richly merits his success. At FL PasO,
where he has lived for the past twelve
wears. he stands high in the esteem of
the best people. He mas
twice been county clerk and
was special deputy in the customs
house for eight years. Tn ough
an aggressive Republican he has
many friends Of opposite politics, and
his record is beyond reDroach. He will
undoubtedly administer the office hon
estlv ana efficiently. Nearly forty men
entered the ring with him, and the bit
terness and jealousy evolved were in
tense. Nearly every imaginable accusa-
ton was brought against Clark. Not
only was his Republicanism assaulted.
but every effort was made to belittle him
with the president Staunch friends,
however, STAYED with him and he was
adrcit enough to remain on the field.
Had he retired at any time he would, in
all probability, have been beaten. Clark
is about thirty-si1 years old and related
by marriage to ex-senator Slade. He
leaves for I'll Paso Tuesday.

Ilar form as follows:


The relatively large figures Tor the
Roman Catholic church are accounted
Tor by the fact that they include ali the
adherents Of that church, as reported in
sadIer's Catholic dictionary, while in
the case of the other churches the figures
represent only the actual church mem
bershjp.
Certainly q net increase of nearly
eight hundred and seventy thOus-
and Christians for the year is no insig-
n.tcaut return. The deaths among the
10 40 1923 Christians last year must have
made a large figure. This loss and all
other losses have been made good by
conversions and immigration, and nearly
nine hundred thousand gained in addi-
ton.
We now have I42 .767 churches and
IS 30 ministers, showing a net gain of
@oN2 churches and $3.50 ministers. a
clear addition Of an average of between
ten and eleven churches and as many
ministers every day in the year does not
seem TO indicate decline of -poweT or
growth. a daily harvest of 10 souls IS
not symptomatic of that decay which
certain skeptics profess to discover in
Christianity in this country.

TANNERS BREAK.
Widows Virtue Rated Cheap-The Pen
sion Commissioner Startling
Remark.
Just Indignation Aroused Among Grand Army
Men-Efforts Made, but in Vain, to Sup
press the Vile Words.
Kansas City Times.

MILWAUKEE, WIS, Aug. 29.-Fl tell
you, comrades, this So month. small
as it may seem, will often preserve the
virtue of some dead comrades widow. -
Thus spoke Corporal Tanner, United
States commissioner of pensions, in the
national encampment Of the G. A. R.
to-day. A howl of Indignation went up
and a dozen fiery speeches defending the
virtue of soldiers widows we're, made.
FInally cooler heads settled the difficulty
.and,a resolution wasE passed rexpunging
sthe whole incident from the records.
The committee on resolutions had re-
ported adversely a resolution asking con-
gress to continue widows pensions after
their remarriage. Tanner spoke against
the report OF the committee. In the
course of his argument he used the
phrase quoted.
The inference was instantly drawn by
the delegates that unless soldiers wild
Ows had some inducement to gain them
second husbands they were likely to
lapse into unchaste lives. AS the keener
witted communicated this obvious infer
ence to the slower, indignation grew and
mounted, and Tanner was rldiculed and
denounced as a general impugner of the
chastity of American women. The re-
port of the committee was adopted by an
almost unanimous vote, the resolution
laid on the table, and Tanner subsidized.
SEEKING TO SUPPRESS FACTS.
Then wiser heads saw what scandal
might be created by the publication Of
these facts, and the official stenographer
was ordered to expunge the incident
from the minutes and an injunction of
secresy was laid on all present Owing
to the nature of the affair Grand Army
men are extremely Teticent.
Tanners offensive phrase was heard
by Edward Loew, reporter of the See
Bote, and by Walker Pollock, a reporter
of the Milwaukee Sentinel. Loew
was standing near an open gal
lery door and Pollock was in
the hall, to which he had gained
entrance by the inattention of a guard
A few minutes later Pollock was discoz-
cred, threatened with violence, his.note,
book containing the names of the speak
'ersst aken55away and he was expelled from
the hall -
The at6fries Of the two reporters was
verified by prominent Chicago lawyer
and Grand Army man. who was present
as a delegate TO the encampment. The
Grand Army men are making an effort to
suppI ess the story of Tanners bad
break.
When later accused of saying that the,
virtue of soldiers widows was dependent
on theiEss12 pension, Tanner denied that
that Is had hade, such a charge.
