THE GLORIOUS CROPS.
The Estimate Some People Make on
Them---EverybOdy Dragging for
Once.

The Estimate Some People Make on
Them---Everybody Dragging for
Once.
That old saying that farmers will
always complain at the crops doesn't
hold good in this section just now.
Everybody seems to be Dragging and in
high glee over the fine prospects, and
the promises are indeed bright
The CHRONICLE talked with very OBJ
servant gentleman yesterday and caught
some of his ideas as to the promises.
He said if one-half of the fruit and
blooms now on the cotton shall mature
we'll, that there will be twice as much
cotton made in this section as was made
last year. He didn't care about any
more blooms or bolls All he wanted to
save was just oNE-HALF of the fruit on
the cotton. This he said would give
Raleigh three quarters of million dol
lars business more than she had last
year.
He estimates the crop to be far ahead
of itself, and said that with favorable
conditions, new cotton would be on the
market this year earlier than ever be
fore.
The earliest date on which new cotton
has been received in Raleigh was in
1880. That year the first bale was re-
ceived August 18th.
Thre is good reason to expect that this
record will be broken this year, and with
good seasons, the first bale may be ex-
pected between August 10th and 10Th.
One can scarcely form an idea as to
how densely fruited the cotton plant is
unless he makes a close examination OF
it. This was tested on Wilmington
street yesterday. Mr.. M. A. Parker ex
hibited small, unpretentious looking
plant and offered standing bet IA water
melon being the wager that no cottor
man on change could look at the plan
and tell within twenty-five the numbe
of bolls on the stalk. Nearly all of then
tried it and not single one came with
in fifty of the number. The little plan
had two hundred bolls and squares on it

WASHINGTON, D. c., July 19.-In the
Senate this morning after some minor
business, the resolution offered yester-
day by Mr.. Allison, to limit debate to
five minutes to each Senator in amend
ments to appropriation bills, after::some
explanation to its scope, was laid aside
without action. The consideration of
the sundry civil appropriation bill was
resu med, the pending question being the
irrigation provision in the Lake bill of
October 2nd, 1888, and Mr.. Reagan con-
tinued his speech began yesterday,

Daring the debate on the amendment
Mr.. Reagan referred to Mr.. Dolph as be-
ing always on the side Of special privi-
leges and advantages Mr.. Dolph, when
opportunity offered, responded by say
ing that he had read of man who
once stood in the market place and
thanked God ne was not as other men.
Human nature, he said was much the
same in all ages. There was egotism,
phariseism and boarishness to-day as
there had been in all times. He defied
I the Senator to point to any act of his in
the interest Of the land spectators.
The debate on the irrigation amend
ment was continued by Messrs. Plumb,
Teller, Cockrell and others, and was
finally adopted. After 63 out of ia

WEDNESDAY. APRIL Io, 1890.


The final result Of the election in Rhode
island places the Democratic party in full
control Of all the Offices Of the State Govern
ment. from the goyernorship down 10 the
clerkships Of the courts, including the lieu-
tenant goycrnorship, the secrctaryship OF
state, the attorney gcneralship and the
frcasurership. The wave Of Democratic
victory that has passed over the whole
Union from Helena, in Montana, % Albany.
IN New York, had not, il seems. spent itself
when il reached Rhode Island, but in addi-
ton 20 the general influences everywhere
prevalent, that have conducod 20 Demo-
cratic success, there were, in that state GER
tain local influences that did much 10 in
crease the extent Of the local victory.
II is notable fact that wherever the
Australian system Of voting has been adop.
ted al the North, the number Of voters cast
ing their ballots in favor Of the Democratic
candidates has been very much increased.
and this is 20 be- attributed 10 causes that
can De easily understood. 1t is due esseuu-
ally % the curtallmont under the Australian
system Of the power Of the manufacturers to
bring an improper pressure 10 bear upon
their employees 10 control their votes This
power is necessarily very seriously dimin-
ished, and the consequence il that a very
large and an ever growing proportion Of the
workingmen support the Democratic party
because il more fully represents their in
terests and aspirations than the Republi-
can.
The victory Of the Democrats in Rhode
Island was brought about, to a very impor-
tant degree, by the greater freedom Of
choice and action which the Australian
system allowed. The result Of the elections
i'm Connecticut and Massachusetts in NO
Vembcr last, under this system, in both in
stances so favorable 10 the Democratic
party. although the Republican candidate
for the Goyernorship in Massachusetts sue
ceedcd by very narrow majority, was due
substantially 10 the same general cause.
There is reason % believe in consequence
OF this general fact, that under the opera
tion Of the Australian ballot law. New Eng
land as a whole will develop with the pro-
gress Of time, an unmisiakaOle disposition to
follow Democratic leaders and Democratic
principles. for this is the Legitimate result Of
the emancipation Of the workingmen, who
constitute in such manufacturing states,
the bulk of the voters.
one of the very first fruits Of the Demo
cratic triumph in Rhode Island will be the
removal from the statute book of the law
making the right Of suffrage dependent
upon property qualification. This in IL
self Will have an important effect in en-
larging the volume Of the Democratic votes
i'm the state. if for no other reason, because
IT Will show that the Democratic party is
thoroughly in sympathy with the people,
and, therefore. in accord with the spirit Of
American institutions.

TuF COPYRIGHT ELL.

In spite Of the active endorsement Of the
Copyright bill by apparently every interest
likely to be affected by its passage-by au-
tlors. publishers, educational association s,
College faculties, Librarians, the press, the
tvpesetters, and hundreds Of prominent cit
liens; in spite of the apparent favor with
which majority Of Congressman view the
measure-it has not yet been passed, and
its friends are beginning TO inquire seriously
what the matter Is.
Early in the fight for this just and en-
lightened measure, great cry was raised,
that il would result in a book trust, 10y
which the prices of reading might be sus-
famed by the unnatural laws which seem
embodied in so many combinations Of capt.
tai So cried the opponents TO the bill.
And now comes the news from Washing
ton that these very opponents are them
selves organizing a book trust "to advance
and control the price Of reprints" This is
exactly what the Copyright bill will not do.
and the reasons for this have been SUM-
married. as follows:
The selling price Of books depends not on
the copyright, but on the requirements Of
the market and the extent of the market
that is controlled by the author and his rep
rcsentatiye.
American buyers are accustomed TO cheap
books, and will not buy dear books, and the
publishers are not likely to throw away
their money by making dear books for which
they could not find sale
The wider the markets and the greater the
number Of the editions between which the
first OUTLAWS can be divided, the smaller the
cost Of each edition and Of each copy, and
the lower the price at which each copy can
be and will be supplied.
With assured markets, and an assured
control 10 authors and publishers of the re-
suits OF their literary undertakings, there
will be a great increase in the publication
OF international series, which will provide
for American readers, at the lowest prices
satisfactory editions Of the works of the
leading writer's Of the world, American,
English and Confidential.
In old,n times when men were hanged
for stealing a sheep, piracy was condoned.
In modern times when sheep stealing has
become less Of crime, piracy, except the
piracy Of brains, is regarded as heinous by
such countries as Mexico. nayti and the
United States.
II the present Congress wishes to make a
record for itself let il do two things, put an
end TO piracy by passing the copyright law,
and in 80 doing, Put an end to highwayman-
~ by crushing the book trust.
