The wilkinson-Davis Engagement.

INC WuKlnSon-OaVlS Engagement,
A very lively interest is taken in all parts
Of the country ia the reported engage nent
of Miss Winnie Davis, daughter of the late
Hon. jefferson Davis, to Alfred Wilkinson,
of Syracuse. N. Y. Miss Davis is known as
'The Daughter of the Confederacy," and a
noble and very lovely woman she is. She
is beloved throughout the south, and has
hosts of friends in the north. All who come
into contact with her admire her, for she
possesses in an eminent degree the qualities
which inspire admiration, respect and love.
The man to whom she is reported to be
engaged is a lawyer, and in the city of SYRIA
cuse he is spoken Of as man of marked
ability, sterling integrity and pure life.
The acquaintance of Mr.. Wilkinson and
Miss Davis began in Syracuse, and quickly
! ripened into friendship, and then into love.
1t is probable that the engagement of
these two young people would not command
| such general attention were it not for the
fact that Mr.. Wilkinson's grandfather
| Samuel j. May, was a colaborer with Will
lam Lloyd Garrison, Weldell Phillips and
other noted abolitionists, while, as the VIII Die
world knows, Miss Davis father during the
| abolition agitation was one of the pro-slavery
leaders, and during the war of secession the
| president of the confederacy.
But why should the opinions which their
| fathers and grandfathers entertained on
| political questions be permitted to interfere
with the happiness of Mr.. Wilkinson and
| Miss Davisa What matters it to them that
their fathers, brothers and friends were op-
| posed to each other in the great civil strife
which filed the land with sorrow more than
a quarter of q century ago! Both have
followed the promptings of their hearts in
deciding to jpn their lives, and the whole
country is conscious of feeling of pleasure
that the animosities of the most perilous
period of the republics history have so far
died out that with the approval of the whole
people ''The Daughter of the Confederacy''
consents to become the wife of the grand
son of a man who in his day was classad
among the bitUerest enemies of the south.
| There is no doubt that both in the north
and south there will be no other feeling
when the marriage takes place than the
| hope that all the happiness that it is possible
! for mortals to have may be theirs.
In this connection the thought is sug-
| gested that in this life of ours those who
entertain extreme opinions are quicker to
adjust their differences than those who by
nature are conservative. During the last
| days of Jefferson Davis his assistant in pre-
pairing history upon which he was en-
gagged was James Redpath, who was man
of extreme views, aad at one time noted
abolitionist. And yet, between Mr.. Red
path and Mr.. Davis there was very warm
friendship, and after Mr.. Davis death no
one spoke more warmly in praise Of the
| dead chieftain.

Butterworth's Bill.

Extraordinary efforts are being made to
defeat Butterworth's bill, the purpose of
which is to prevent the making of contracts
for the future delivery of farm products,
and our dispatches yesterday indicated that
the efforts would be successful Mr. But
terworth has probably reached the conciu-
sion that he knows much less about trade
matters than he thought he did.
When he framed his bill he probably had
in mind only those individuals who use their
wealth TO make corners in cotton, corn,
wheat, pork, lard and other articles. He
had no idea that a very large part of the
business of the country was done in futures.
The miller makes contract for the future
delivery of so many thousand bushels of
wheat, the cotton manufacturer for so many
thousands of bales of cotton, and so on
through the list.
There is no doubt great deal of reckless
and harmful speculation in farm products,
and this speculation is sometimes very dam
aging to the interests of the farmers. But, as
a rule, the farmers are benefited by the spec
uIation about as often as they are injured.
Indeed, it Is question whether they do not
receive, on an average, higher prices for
their crops than they would if there were
no future delivery business.
A prominent cotton factor of this city, in
speaking of the Butterworth bill the other
day, said that he was satisfied that the
future business this season had helped the
cotton farmers to the extent of cent or
cent and a half pound on their cotton.
= . ! Al Al.
s. to 81 so per cotton bale, it can be readily
seen that the future delivery system has
put good many millions of dollars into the
pockets of the cotton farmers within the
last few months.
One New York cotton broker in present.
ing this matter to congressman in Wash
ington said that if the Butterworth bill
were to become law the future business
would be transferred to Europe, and that
Liverpool would have the fixing of the
price of cotton. He further remarked
that she would take care to fix it low
enough. Was he not right9 Those who IN
derstand this subject will admit that he
was.
1t is true that there are some bad features
connected with the future business, but is
there any business which has not objection
able features' 1t would not be an easy
matter to point out one. 1t would be good
thing for cotton farmers not to speculats in
futures, because they waste a large per-
centage of their profits in that way-that
is, in selling futures when they neither have
nor expect to have cotton with which to
meet their contracts, but it would hardly
be wise to interfere with the business of the
entire country in order to try to save them
from their folly.
If it were possible to get rid of the purely
gambling feature of the future business it
would be wise to do so, but no one has been
able to offer a satisfactory solution of that
problem.
