Atwood. Violet a Co.'s Cotton Report.

Special to the Gazette.
New ORLEANS, LA, June 22.-Atwood,
Violet & Co. say:
Futures-There was some indication of a
reaction in Liverpool this morning, and
that market closed firm at an advance of
2-64 to 3-6id above Saturday. At first there
was disposition on this side to follow the
improvement, but towards the close the
gain was nearly all lost, and prices vary
very little from the closing of Saturday.
The feature of the day was the continued
heavy liquidation in New York of summer
months After this it is reported that Il
better feeling prevails, but this is not borne
out by the final figures OF this month. No
tice is given of the disposition On the part
of few investors to buy up small lots of
low grade but clear cotton when they can
be had very cheap.
This cotton will of course have to be car
ried over until next season. but if the new
crop should be high in grade the owners
expect to be able to sell at handsome
profit.
Spots-Quiet: sales, 1850 bales; quota
tons unchanged.

Mr. Jones has an attractive face, dl>
rect way of stating his case, sometimes
SO bluntly as to offend, and again so
pathetic and tender as to draw tears

There is a magnetism about him, incon-

Fearful Railroad Accident.

On the 4th the greatest disaster that
has befallen the Kanawha Valley for
years occurred. 1t was the wrecking of
a Kanawha and Middleport train, at
Farm, a village eight miles from Charles
ten. The trestle, at that point, thirty
five feet high, caught fire during the
night from an unknown cause. The
bridge was not consumed, but its fOun-
dations We're SO impaired as to make 1t
unsafe to cross No notification of the
fact was received at Charleston, and the
first train Of that day attempted to pass
oyer the treste. The engine, tender
and baggage car went over safely, but
the two coaches went through. Engi-
neer Pat Conner seemed to realize the
situation and pulled open the throttle,
in the hope of pulling all over safely,
but it was too late. Both coaches We're
crowded and scarcely any one in them
escaped injury. The station is three
miles from the nearest telegraph office,
but as soon as possible a relief train was
sent from Charleston, which returned
about 2:15 y. NJ, bearing the dead and
wounded.
One of the most pathetic incidents of
the accident was that of the annihila-
ton of the Welcher family. Mr. Welcher,
his wife and little child were on their
way to Point Pleasant to visit friend
this being their first trip outside of
Charleston for years. Mr.. Welcher was
instantly killed and his wife was taken
to Charleston few hours later. so fatally
injured that she died after her arrival
Their child, aged about years was Sc
verely bruised and bleeding, three
fingers of it's right hand being cut off.
The cars were crowded and it is a won
der that there were not more fatalities.
Scarcely anyone in them escaped unhurt-

Services Closed.

Rev. Sam p Jones closed his series of
sermons at Staunton on Sunday night
last He had preached three times a day
for eight days, interest in the services in
creasing at each meeting, until there
were estimated to be about $4,000 people
to hear him on Sunday morning, and as
great a number on Sunday night. Many
who were prejudiced against him, after
his first two or three sermons, became
his warm supporters; and thousands ex-
pressed the utmost confidence in the
man and the work he is doing. There
is no question about his great ability, as
well as originality, and that he reaches
a class of people that rarely attend
Church. 1t is hoped that good results
will follow his sermons at Staunton.

The contractionists, in their anx-
iety to prevent the expansion Of
money, have also made the ridicu-
lous assertion that to make the
coinage of silver dollars free, in the
United States, could make this
country the dumping ground" for
all of the silver bullion of other
countries. No assertion could be
more erroneous and ridiculous.
Instead of silver flowing into this
country under coinage, at the pres
ent ratio between gold and silver,
the silver of the United States will 60
to Europe to get the premium that
it will command. 1t is impossible
to understand how this county
could be injured by drawing to it
all of the silver of the world at a
fraction over 1929 an ounce; and
we are amazed that any sensible
person should have made such an
objection to the free coinage of ell
yer, or that any sensible person
should have given any heed to so
erroneous and absurd an objection
Let US draw to our country all of
the silver and gold of the world, if
We can get them. 1t is impossible
to have too much money in circu-
lation that redeems itself by use.

THE COMING CONTEST.

1nE CUA1NU CVNIES1s
Ed. TR1BUNE-The Statesman
quotes Clarkson, President of the
Republican League, as saying
1.-THE seat of republican power
the west-will never consent TO sec
the treasury of the country dwarfed
to gold basis. If the silver ques.
ton is settled the air will be greatly
cleared" Then adds, "those are
precisely the sentiments of the
republicans this side of the Rocky
mountain line, and Mr.. Clarkson
seems to have grasped the situa-
ton. The democrats in large num-
bers are already realizing that If
they are to succeed they must
adopt the views of western republic
cans on the silver question"
The plan of campaign is fore.
Swallowed in the above extract for
the coming political contest in
Idaho, in 1892.
The republican party having no
principals to advocate before the
people, are driven to the necessity

ing democratic thunder. And
when misrepresentation fail to
meet the demands Of the hour, q
little clean lying is occasionally
supplemented.
If Mr.. Clarkson thinks the west
or any other portion of this great
country is going to nullify the con-
stitution Of the United States on
the silver coinage question he
greatly underestimate the intelli-
gence and patriotism of the people.
A republican congress did it in
I72 and a republican president
signed the bill, but when the peop's
were heard from it was no go. 1t
created terrible stir in the coun-
try and is yet disturbing element
in politics; and like most of the
republican party, made the rich
richer and the poor poorer. It was
done, however, through the aid of
bribery and fraud, (see report of
the Potter Investigating committee)
and resulted in effectually blocking
the way of one John Sherman to
the presidency of the United
States. Good enough for him!
But the question that requires, a
passing notice At present, is this
insinlstion that democrats must

the party for the next two years in
