COTTON.
June Report of the Department OF
Agricnlture-An Improvement.
The Percentages OF Condition by states-The
Crop Reported from One to Two Weeks
Later Than Last Year

WASHINGTON. July l0.-The June re-
port of the statistician of the department
of agriculture shows an improvement in
the condition of cotton during the past
month. Early planted is as well adj
vanced as that which was planted in May
and that which had not terminated be-
fore the season of drought is late and
small. There was frost nearly through
out the cotton belt in the month of May
and the first of June, which prevented
termination, already long delayed, and
arrested the growth of the plants.
There is general complaint of the effects
of dry days and cool nights of the season
continuing throughout May and into
June, delaying termination and growth
and favoring the prevalence of lice.
West of the Mississippi, and especially in
Texas, the season is considered wet one
and the June rains, continuing till the
day of the report, began at an earlier
date than anticipated. Their effect has
been to improve the stand, which was
very deficient, and advance the growth
of the plant. The prevalence of rains
left the fields somewhat grassy on the
lst of July, condition which a few days
of sunshine since may have remedied,
except on plantations having too
large an area for the number of plows
available. The crop was generally kept
clean during the period of drought. The
wide variation in date of termination has
had the effect to make the crop later by
a-week or two than that of 1888, and the
stand is not so good. Some plants came
up in April and some late in June. The
period of termination has been longer
than usual throughout the cotton belt.
.Fhere are local differences IN the length
OF the period. This refers to the whole
of the cotton belt.
The percentages of condition by states
are as follows: Virginia, SO; North
Carolina, 50; South Carolina, "a;
Georgia, Sc; Florida. 80; Alabama,
81; Mississippi, 81; Louisiana, 80; Texas,
80; Arkansas, SO; Tennessee, 80. Gen
eral average, 81 g. CaterpIllars and
worms have appeared in Texas and
Louisiana, and some parts of Mississippi.
The setting of lights and the burning of
the miller that produces the cotton worm
has been general, promising the mitiga-
ton of future depredations.

BRIDGE BUILDERS TRUST.
Scheme of the Builders to Keep Prices at a
Maximum.

ST. JOSEPH, Mo-, July 10.-A few
days ago the county surveyor advertised
for bids for the building of eighteen
bridges. The bids were opened last Sat-
urday and though about twenty in num-
Der, there was little difference. The
county court was struck with the idea
that a combination was in force and
promptly rejected all the bids. 1t has
since been learned that there is q trust
among the bridge builders for the pur-
pose of keeping prices at a maximum.
The territory embraced by the trust is
Southern Iowa and Nebraska, Northern
Kansas and Northwest Missouri. There
is hardly bridge builder in this terrific
ry who does not belong to the trust.
Regular meetings are held and scale of
prices agreed upon. Bond is given by
each member providing a severe penalty
for any violation of the agreements.
Every bridge builder in the territory is
solicited to join the trust, and if he re-
fuses a systematic warfare is begun or
him which usually ends in victory for the
trust. When bidding is to be done the
builders who are to do 1t meet and agree
upon a set of prices. The trust is said to
have membership of ABOUT one hundred

A mining suit, Involving millions of dsllsrs, has been begun at Denver, the principals being lbs Dnrant and Bon ny Belle mining eempaaiss, of Aspen. Colo. Alter prstrsctsa litigation a decision was rendered in May, of last year, giving ihs Durant full posses sion of the vsia and thc right ts fsl- low 1t through the claims which had been located or the mountain side. These were known as the Sde line claims, aad thslr owners trisd te prsve that there was net true sein ia As psn Mountain, bat that the whole mountain was an impregnaied ere body. After g compromise had been effected the Bopny Belle was allowed te resume work and bodies of wonder fully rich ore were encountered They followed the lead iHto Dnrant ground and were enjsined hy the court. The claim was then set up by the Benny Bello owners that they had the 9utcrep of ths vein and that tue Dur0nt was located on the spur. The Duraat people took the reverse posi- ton to this in holding that the Bonny Belle had the spur. The Court al. lowed both companies te work into each ethsrs ground with the object in view of establishing their respective theories, and for three menths past that side of Aspsn Mountain has been swarming underground with miners, expsrts and lawyers Should the Bon ny Belle establish their thccry they would fall heir to millions of dollars now exposed in the compromise ground.

The bill to revise the mining code of the United States, now before the House Committee, makes the follow jag changes: Not more than 1900 linear feet can be taken up on the same vein by any individual locator. The boundaries of tho location must be distinctly marked by posts or men. umsnts. The new bill fixes October lst as the beginning of tho year for performing annual work and relocat- ing unpatentsd claims upon which the work has bsen neglected, amd the amount of annual labor required is reduced to SEQ. The affidavit of the locstsr is all that is required to prove a location under tho nsw law. TEs amount of annual labor required ON placer claims is only s25. The pres snt law requires work until a patent IS issued. Ike substitute requires work unhl the payment of purchase money and the issuance of certificate of ontry.

New aEexico's libel Law.

There has inst passed the New Mex ico legislature, ovsr the veto of Gev- srner Ross, bill entitled "an act to define the ofense of libel and afix punishment" winch is the most shameful attempt to abridge free speech ever attempted within the ju- risdietion ot the United States. Fol lowing are some of the provisions of the law, as published by tue Las Vegas Optic;
 After defining, generally, whe is guilty of libel, section seven says: The written, printed or published state ment to come within the definition eff libel, must csuvsy the idea either
 First. That the person to whom it refers has been guilty sf some penal offense; CT
 Second That be has been guilty of some act or omIsslon, which, though not penal ofensc. is disgraeeful to him as member of society, and the natural consequence of which is to bring him into contempt among hoR orable parsons; CT
 Tbrd. That he has some moral vice or physical or mental defect or disease which renders him unfit for inter course with respectable society. and such as should cause him to be gsnsr- ally avoided; or
 Rurth. That he is noterIeusly of bad ar infamous character; or
 Fifth. That any person in office, or any candidate, therefor, is dishonest, and, therefore, unworthy of such ot- flee, CT that while in office lie has bsen guilty st malieasanee, rendering him unworthy of the place.
 Seetisn 10 makes the editor. pub- hshcr or proprlator of newspaper, CT any enc of them. guilty of libsi until they show to the contrary. thus re- yersing tue well-known doctrine of law that q person is innocent until proven guilty.
 Section l3 has another precious pro vision that the intent 10 injure is to be presumed. though 30 actual proof be made that ths aefendeat had such design.
 Ssctiou g contains faw instances where justification may be eprsvsn, but leaves the large majority of state msnts, always regarded as privileged, especially in newspaper statements, entirely beyond the susceptibility of proof, practically narrowing the work of journalist to the narrow field pro yldsd by the censor system of France, Germany. Austria, Russia, CT some ether of the absolute aenarrAiss, vho fear to have the ordinary acts of gov ernmsnt, or its officials, honestly critl- elssd.
