THE NEW COTTON CROP.

The receipts of cotton at the ports for
| the wear which Is now drawing to a
close. are in excess of those of last year
by over quarter of million of bales, but
the receipts at the Gulf ports are, for the
same period. almost a million of bales in
excess: while, then, it is evident that
more cotton was produced in the south
last year than the year before, it is also
plainly evident that the Gulf ports must
have drawn to themselves much cotton
which, otherwise, would naturally have
moved toward the Atlantic ports.
The most potent factor in helping along
this increasing volume of cotton to those
ports are the roads having New Orleans
as their terminus, as will be seen by the
following clipping from the New Orleans
Times-Democrat: New Orleans has no
reason to feel ashamed of herself.
Her receipts are, gross, p

cline. The Illinois Central has increased

the other sources of receipts show a
similar improvement. tt has been

NOTHING TO ARBITRATE.

From the Chicago Inter-ocean
The questions at issue are very simple,
and in fact resolve themselves into this
one: BY what authority does Great
Britain claim now any rights IN Behring
sea which were never claimed or eXer-
cised in the same waters until 1885:
During the entire period of Russian OWN
ership of Alaska, and then during the
period subsequent TO our purchase, down
to the day mentioned. the right main
tanned by Mr.. Blaine was not questioned
or infringed upon by England or any
other power. 1t is really misnomer 10
call those waters ''Behring sea. The
old term, Behrlng straits, Is far more
appropriate. Mr.. Blaine presses this
question, but MIR. Salisbury evades 1t.
falling back upon the general denial of
the right of this country to treat these
waters as a ''Closed sea. The truth l..
that in order TO Justify the hIgh-handed
outrage of certain Canadian ships the
British government was obliged to fall
back upon that generalization. If SeCTe-
tary Bayard had been equal To the
emergency four years ago he would have
secured n prompt correction of the
wrong, but, finding putty man in
charge of the state department the
British foreign office sustained the
Canadian depredators in the evident
hope of being able 10 close out the mat
ter during the Bayard regime. Failing
in this. the contention Is for arbitration
when. in point of fact. there Is nothing
to arbitrate.

A TOUCH OF TRUE PATHOS.

From the Cincinnati commandments
In the Cincinnati postofiice recently,
in the general deposit of mail gathered
at noon. was a much thumbed and tear
stained postal card. The writing upon
it was in a child's hand, trembling and
uncertain. The address was: MY dear
mamma in heven." The letter was rs fol-
lows:

The People and the Machine,

From the LeAvenworth Tunes.
If there were not several hundred men
in Kansas as bright and capable as The
chronic office holders then there might
be some excuse for the people who treat
as treason any criticism of any member
of the office-hOlding gang. But with the
exception of two or three of them this
gang is composed of mediocre men, most
of them men of very ordinary ability.
We could 20 out through the country and
in every township find men of as great
ability as are some of those who for years
and years have been kept in office by the
machine of the state and against whom
nothing must be- said. This thing makes
sensible men weary. But the machine
can be taught only with a club. The
people have hold of that club Just now
and are in humOr 10 give the machine
a whack.

A MONTH OF FIRES.

| Contrary to usual experience. the
month of July had very bad fire re-
cord, and the insurance companies, 50
we learn from eastern exchanges, are
somewhat disturbed thereby.
1t is not easy to account for this unex-
pected increase of confagration at a
season of the year when such events are
expected to be less frequent than atany
other time 1t is significant, however.
that the losses have been widely dis
tributed over the country, principally by
the burning of single buildings, and that
the insurance companies report slow
ness in making their premium collec-
tons. These conditions may not prove
an excess of incendiarism, but they at
least point unpleasantly in that direc-
ton.
But whatever the cause, the results
have been abnormal and sufficiently
alarming to excite unusual attention and
a demand for closer watchfuIness on the
part of all concerned. Naturally, the
fire insurance companies will be the first
to feel the effects of these increased
losses, and if the same condition of
things should continue for a month or
two longer it is feared that some of the
smaller companies may be swamped.
In the end, however, property owners
and communities will be the ones to suf-
fer, if the July record should prove to be
anything more than an incOmprehensi-
bic vagary of the law of averages. But
the fact is sufficiently important to en-
phasize more than ever the necessity of
vigilance. No excess Of o~ecaution can
be regarded as in any way unjustifable,
and neglect or hazardous fire measures
OF any kind will not fall short Of GRIMM
ality.
Whether tenable or not the theory is
advanced that the tighness of money
matters has had much to do with
the increase of the midsummer fire
record, and this theory would be given
additional color by the activity of the
insurance companies were that not a
perfectly natural effect whatever be the
cause, If indeed there be any specific
reason therefor. Our own notion Is that
it is more in the nature of the epidemic
theory that seems to obtain in regard to
disasters of various kinds. though which
are indehnable or inexplicable upon any
commonly accepted line of theorizing.

The acreage Of sorghum in Kansas is
reported at 10, 700 acres. against $500
acres last year The crop is in good con-
dition, and the product is almost entirely
contracted for by the different companies
at prices ranging from 81 ITO 81 per ton.
The works at Medicine Lodge viii lead
off in active operations for the season
next Monday. Considerable work mas
been done there in making ready for the
seasons run and the plant is thought to
be in perfect condition; big results are
looked for. The other factories in the
state are all reported in good shape and
the very best results are expected.

Prof Shows chinch bug exterminator
reems to be a success. The Cedar Vale
Star tells of a farmer in Chautauqua
county who, upon the appearance of the
voracious pests in his corn, sent to Prof.
Snow for some of his infested bugs: he
received six, turned them loose in a for
ty-acre field that was infesed by millions
of the bugs. and in day or two he had
the satisfaction of seeing the field entire
ly cleared of live bugs, but the ground
was literally covered with dead ones.

Neither the wholesale expulsion of the
Jews nor all the restrictive measures of
an autocratic power can save the head of

which involved army officers of high
rank, shows that the enemies of the car
are vigilant and persistent. \ violent
death to the Russian ruler is among the
certainties of the future unless a merci-
full administration shall take the place of

The theory of protection is made up of
catchwords. The word protection it.

seems to offer a great need of human

The Candidate and Platform.

From the Newton Eansan.
The Republicans of the Seventh Kan
sas district were particularly fortunate
in their selection Of a candidate for
congress, Colonel Hallowell being a
gentleman of most excellent mental
attainments: a ready. fOrcible and con
vincing DICTATOR and earnest Republican
thoroughly infused with a desire to pro-
mote the welfare of his fellOwmen, and
man who has ever proven true to his
friends. He entered the army when
quite a lad, and through meritorious
service was rapidly promoted until he
obtained a colonelcy while scarcely out
of his teens. With Colonel Hallowell in
congress the people of the Big Seventh
may rest assured they have a representa-
tive who will zealously look after all
their interests.
The resolutions adopted by the Dodge
City convention, cover the earth and all
there is in it, on it or above it: and if the
committee could have had more time
without fear of exhausting the world
supply of paper. they would doubtless
have explored other worlds IN search Of
other ideas to incorporate therein.
