How shall these conditions be met

democracy. By the return of power
to where it rightfully belongs-the

The proposal to restriot immigra-
ton is met by the foreign steamship
lines with a threat to withdraw the
special rates to the worlds fair. This.
they say, would cause immense loss to
the fair. Congress will be very easily
impressed if such cheap bluffs as this
has any influence. Such scheme as
that suggested would injure the steam
ship lines worse than any other in
terest They are not so short-sighted
or independent as to do anything Of
the kind. But let congress pass the
restriction bill anyhow. The absence
of cholera from this country will be
worth infinitely more to us than the

fair. much as this last is desired-by

Centuries ago this was question of

that the Inauguration of our governor

The Improvement in Cotton.

AIC6I b pfOtrdcVeQ season. OF Q6-
preston, the cotton market now
appears to be on the mend, and
during the past week prices have
steadily advanced until middling
cotton, which but short while
back was quoted weak at 6 1915
cents, is now strong at z 3-16 cents.
1t is true that the current price is
not a very satisfactory figure for
cotton, but it represents at last q
very substantial reaction from the
price of ten days ago, when the
staple reached the lowest point
since 1848.
It must also be remembered that
the advance Of the past week has
been caused by the large decrease
in the movement of the crop to
market. Should this rate of de-
crease be maintained, as many be-
lieve it will, it may reasonably be
expected that the price of cotton
will develop still further and ma
terial improvement. 1t is stated
that should the present rate of de-
crease in the movement be kept up
it will be accepted as an indica.
ton by consumers that the esti.
mates of a yield experimenting
that of last year will not be realiz-
ed, and that the crop view recently
so generally entertained has been
exaggerated
OF course there are not few
people in the cotton trade who at
tribute the falling off in the move
ment to the recent bad weather
throughout the cotton belt, but thS
rapid advance IN the market is
proof positive that the preponder-
ance of sentiment is in favor of
the theory of exhaustion Of sup
plies In the interior.
It is very much to be hoped that
the crop will not prove as large as
was generally believed it would
some time back, as q substantial
recovery of prices from the ruin
ously low level reached recently
would be of incalculable benefit to
the whole cotton industry, particu-
larly at this stage of affairs.
The new planting season is like
ly to open with planters badly
crippled by the low price which
they realized for the last CROP
This fac. will make monetary
assistance of greater necessity to
them than usual. With the price
of cotton depressed and weak, the
greatest possible difficulty would
nafurely be experienced in securing
advances. Should, however, the
price of the staple continae.to inn
prove until the outlook became
more encouraging for the next crop,
the factors and merchants would
be induced to come to the assist
ance of the farmers more literally
and with more confidence in the se-
curity of their operations.
While, therefore, we do not pre-
sumo to predict the future course
of prices for the staple product of
this section, we can at least be per-
mittsd to hope a continuance of the
recent upward course of cotton
prices, as on the early return to
profitable range of values for cot
ton the property of the entire
South largely depends. It. is to be
hoped, however, that the farmers
will not fail to profit by the lesson
of the present season and avoid
planting SO much cotton. This plan
they can safely follow by adopting
a policy of greater Investigation OF
crops. N. o. Picayune.
