He is a Chief.

Hon. Barnett Gibbs is quoted in the Post
this morning as follows: Senator Hill is
developing strength, not only in Texas, but
all along the line. He has always had
more latent strength in the South than he
was given credit for. There are many rea-
sons for this support. In the first place,
fighting Democrats have that confidence in
his leadership that the French army had in
Napoleon. In the second place, his reduc-
ton of taxes and state debt i'll New York
has caused the Democratic masses, and es-
pecially the farmers, to believe that he is a
practical statesman as well as a
practical politician. In the third place, the
Democratic masses feel like rebuking the
persistent effort of Democratic clique to
knife and belittle chief who has so many
scalps to show for his prowess."

FutureS-Our estimates of 140, 900 bales
to come into sight for this week has been
realized, and the total in sight since the 1st
of September is 7.S45, 900 bales. against our
prediction of 7,S50,0o0 bales. The next
three days will doubtless bring the move
ment to about 7,S75,000 bales, against
our estimate of 1900, OO0-b bales by the
1st of March. The total excess over
last year in sight is $4,000 bales.
Port receipts this week 10000 bales,

mated at 5000 to 5000 bales, against $4,000
bales last year at all ports,
Our cable this morning reported

Liverpool opened easy at l to 2 points
decline, all OF which was recovered and
closed firm at last nights prices, with spot

lower than last night but
quickly recovered and we close
10 points higher than the lowest to-day.
We shall go into March with an excess over
last year of 425, 900 bales. Liverpool's stock
OF American to-day on hand and afloat is
1,660,000 bales, against 1,051,0 900 bales last
year and 1,65S, GOO bales last Friday. We
aim to look at the situation in an unpreju-
diced manner, but whenever we try TO take
4 hopeful view of the situation the
tremendous accumulation of stocks every

must be apparent to every one that until
Liverpool can be relieved we cannot hope
for an improvement without their assist
ance.

The supreme court of Illinois has de-
cided that under the law of 1891 women
over twenty-one years of age, who have
resided in the district the required length
of time, are entitled to vote for public
school officers, such as township trust
ees, school directors and school boards,
but cannot vote for state and county
superintendent of schools because these
offices are created by the constitution
and it provides that such officers shall be
elected by male voters. Next April will
be the first opportunity women will have
to exercise their will in elections. Illinois
has been one of the most progressive
states in the west in many respects,
though in regard to the woman's rights
fad it has been away behind. Most of
the states have accorded to women pos
sessing the prescribed qualifications the
privilege of voting for school officers,
and this is used universally as the chief
argument for unrestricted woman
suffrage. OF course they will score the
Illinois incident referred to as signal
victory for the cause.

NO CENSORSHIP WANTED.

1t is announced from the capital that a
bill is being quietly but strongly pushed
! before the present congress that is in the
shape of an amendment to what is known
as the anti-lottery act of the last con-
gress. The pending amendment extends
1 the inhibition from transmission
through the mails of lottery tickets or
other matter pertaining to lottery draw
| ings, to a long list of things, the promul-
CATION of which through the mails is cal
culated to prove prejudicial to the moral
and social well-being of the people. The
! pending measure names all these per
nicious things and fixes a severe penalty
for the violation of the law both to the
person sending, and the one receiving
| such articles or any of them and using
them for improper purposes. Such a
law may be regarded by some as wise,
and proper, being intended as a pro-
! lection for the innocent and unsuspect-
ing against the mercenary motives and
vicious purposes of the senders. And if
the act stopped there, there would
probably be little said in opposition to
its enactment. But it goes on to the ex-
tent of empowering the postmaster gen
eral to declare what matter
is non-mailabIe. Here it over
steps the bound of reason.
f it is necessary to name tn articles to
Ibe excluded why should any individual
or official be authorized to exempt any
article so named from the operation of
the law, or to extend It's provisions to
articles not named? 1t seems to us that
placing the restriction upon the things
named and fixing a severe penalty, the
enginery of the government in its courts
is sufficient power to enforce compliance
without vesting additional and eXtraor-
binary legislative and judicial authority
upon a purely ministerial officer. In
effect, the last feature of the proposed
amendment if enacted, establishes a
complete censorship, vested III single
person, over the entire postal system
and empowers him to say what may and
what shall not be admitted to and trans
mitted through the mails. 1t is an I'M
warranted granting of power, and
directly contrary to the spirit of a re-
publican form of government.
The amendment ought not to pass in
the form in which it is pending, and
certainly will not unless it is slipped
through in surreptitious manner with
out the attention of the members being
called to its provisions.
