TIE Little Rock Gazette Is right: {"

THE Little Rock Gazette Is right: "Mr. Springer has been criticised as inconsist- ent for declaring that neither Hill nor Cleveland should be nominated for presi- dent, when, three months ago, he pro nounced Cleveland the logical candidate. There are tens of thousands of men who held MT. Springer's views three months ago, but have since changed their minds as to the logic of the situation. Logic necessarily conforms to the facts on which it is based, and if MT. Springer now be- lieyes the nomination of New York man of doubtful expediency, he isnot at all in consistent in so declaring. He would be inconsistent if, thus doubting, he should cling to his former opinion" We do moi think any New York candidate can be elected. The nomination of a man from that state would be suicidal. It is unfortunate for the Democratic party that this state of affairs exists, but it does exist beyond question. We do not favor the rewarding of Hill with the nomination fol his betrayal of the party and the defeat of Cleveland in 1888. It was through his instrumentality that this misfortune wal brought about.

UNDER THE OLD LAW.
The Manner in Which Scool Directors arc to be Elected This Year.

The Manner in Which Scool Directors arc
 to he Elected This Year.
 To All School Directors and Citizens:
 Many inquiries have been made at this office as to whether the election law passed by the legislature controls the school elections. referred the question to Hon. w. E. Atkinson, the attorney general, and he has rendered me opinion that the school elections in May are not affected by the lately passed election law. This will place them under the old law. DirecrtOr will proceed to hold these elections un- der the law as it stood prior to the meeting of the last legislature.
 The last legislature dicided that it was best to apportion the full amount of the school revenues in the summer. It therefore authorized the state SUD- erintendent to apportion the school or on the first Mondays of August aud February instead of the first MOn- days of July and January. The pur- pose was to distribute all the money as soon after a settlement of the collec- tions as possible. The law worked ex- actly as it was intended-about all the revenue being distributed in February. The February apportiOnment had as well be abolished, as under the present revenue laws there can never be any considerable amount of money in the treasury to distribute in that month.
 I should be glad to have every pa. per in the state to copy this notice, as it concerns the whole body of the peo- pie. Very respectfully,
 J. H. SHINN,,

Cotton.

Hubbard, Price & Co.'s Report.
 The improvement in the tone Of the market noted in our last letter has been slowly lost under the pressure of the heavy movement of cotton to ports, and values have fallen to the lowest point yet touched. A conviction that the movement to reduce the acreage for the coming year would De more honOred in it's breach than in it's Ob- servance, has been the main reason for the loss of confidence in any material advance in the price of the great sta- pie of the south. The trade point to the accumulation of cotton at every town, and at every port, foreign and domestic, as sufficient to supply all the wants of consumers and leave sur plus on hand of over d million bales of this seasons crop. To this apparent surplus they add the am punt of cotton carried over from last season, soc. 600 bales, and quickly draw the c0nclu- sion that no relief can be felt from these depressing factors by mere sug- gsstions of a reduction in acreage. While they overlook the reduction in the supply from India. the argument is f0rcible, and apparently unanswerable, that reduction m acreage of twenty per cent would only reduce the surplus to reasonable limits, and then there would remain cotton enough to supply all the wants of the world at the prices quoted for the autumn deliveries Then threatened legislation is slowly but surely taking from the market the support of people not connected with the cotton trade, who fear being de- prived of the ability to dispose of their holdings to others. Thus with the traie incredulous as to the reduction in the acreage, and the market threat ened with the withdrawal by legisla- tion of the main support to values, the decline, in view of possibility of the trade having to carry within it's own resources the entire visible supply of cotton, is very small While it is uni versally believed cotton is below the cost of production, and conservative merchants are buyers of cotton on this basis, it is undoubtedly true another American crop of even 5000. 900 bales would only add further to the supply on hand, and cause cotton to sell in this market below five cents per pound, We, however, believe the acreage in cotton will be reduced even more than twenty per cent, not from inclination but from sheer inability tn procure the advances of money from the factors who are alive to the critical situation of the South, and that the intersts oi the farmers and their own are identi- cal to again place the principal crop ol the South upon paying basis, by re ducing the acreage and yield. In fact there is no other way for prosperity tG return to section of the country
 which raises crop the entire world il
 bound to buy of them. With tl is be
 lief, we think cotton should be helt
 and purchased. because selling below
 it's intrinsic value. as in a similar con
 dition, corn sold at 27i cents in Chica
 go, during 1890.

A Family Quarrel.


 Mir. Blaine will realize, perhaps, that he has made mistake in going into the newspapers with a family quarrel, however exasperating the circum- stances and however gross the judg- ment of his and his wife's conduct toward their danghter-in law. It is quite likely that Mfr. and Mrs. Blaine have been harshly judged, and certain ly the character of mother Nevins' comments on Mir. Blaine's letter is not such as to commend any statement made or inspired by her. Her allusiOm tO the scandal which played so large a part in Mir. Blanie's presidential race was gratuitous and malicious, and leads us to suspect that the part she has played in the affair has not been that of peacemaktr, and that any statement coming from her must be taken with due allowances. We should judge that she is just the kind of woman to have behaved as described in Mir. Blaine's letter upon the occa- sion of her visit with her daughter to the Blaine homs. One is tempted to believe that she come loaded to the very lips with wrath, and that she had hardly set foot in the Blaine mansion before she gave it vent. This may be dOing Mrs. Nevins gross injustice, but if any opinion is to be formed at all by the outside public with respect to question of veracity between Mrs. Nevins and Mrs. Blaine, the probabil- ities seem to be in favor of the latter.
 There is much of the story, however, which Mir. Blaine does not know and which he could only get from his son. James G., jr. and he may repent an act of rashness in opening up store of in- formation with respect to the conduct of that young man. The latter's un- trustworthy character make it unwise to base any harsh judgment upon any statement of facts that may have come from him. Young Mrs. Blaine prom iscs sn early reply to her father-in- laws letter. When this reply is made public it is to be hoped that it will be tempered by the advice of her counsel rather than envenomed by the spirit of her mother.

The Postai Laws Respecting News-
 papers. pisfnfiold IN JlNava

Plainfield tN. J) News.
 About two years ago Messrs. Goo. F. Rowell & Co. of New York the pub fishers of Rowell's Newspaper Di- rectory, and several other publications of great value to concerns wishing to do business with the newspapers, started a very unique weekly, both in form (l2 mo- and name( Printers lnk).
 It was q new Idea all through, and like new ideas generally. required large capital, much experience and utmost push to make 1t go. The publishers had to educate people and make . market for the publication. To what extent they succeeded may be judged by the fact that it's editions now exceed SC, 900, and the business probably 8200, : OOO per year. We doubt it any pub lication polished once week is read with more avidity. In fact we have seen it in many instances carefully preserved just as monthly magazines are preserved, so highly is it valued.
 Now, after allowing the publishers to proceed on these lines for several years, the postofiice department rules that the journal is not legitimate newspaper and cannot be admitted to second class rates, but as third class matter.
 The postage on the issue of January l3 amounted at third-class rates to x805. besides the labor of attaching 80,500 stamps to that number of papers. At sec0nd-clas rates the proper charge for postage would be $6972 making a difference in cost of mailing this one issue of S73S 24. In other words about e3626 . year as second-class matter, against $41 ,S60 as third-class. In the meantime Powell 6 Co. are paying this enormous sum under protest, un- til the department can further consid- CT the case.
 Of course it is outrageous that the law is so ambiguous that the postofiice authorities themselves can blunder in construing it, as they do according tO the whim of the person in charge of the matter. and ought to be changed immediately in justice to those com pelled to suffer by such ambiguity.
 If Printers' Ink is not newspaper. then there is not weekly newspaper in the country.
 We believe 1t at present the most read and most carefully preserved journal in existence, and entitled to all the privi- leges accorded any newspaper by the postal laws. and hope to see the wrong done the publishers righted without delAy

European Rather Than Chinese, I'm
 migration Needs Limiting.
 From the Philadelphia Press.
 Without amending the provisions of the existing Chinese exclusion law, the senate has passed an act extending it's operation for an additional period of ten years. The bill will doubtless become a law and be enforced as rigid ly as possible, and the only new access sions of Chinese cheap laborers will be those who manage to leak through the long and imperfectly guarded domin- ion line. Meanwhile some of those already here are returning to China, others die, and it follows that if the ex. isting law be rigidly enforced for ten years longer the Chinese contingent will be a very small factor in the labor problem of the United States.
 No so the other immigrants of the country. Their yearly arrivals, good, bad and indifferent, amount to nearly twice the Chinese resident population, and at the present rate will add from four to five millions to the population of the country, the adult male portion of which will be enrolled in the great army of wage workers. Such 8 large increase will more or less affect the wages of labor, and if congress wants to do something to prevent ruinous competition in the American iapor market it will need to do it's restrictive work in the line of European and not Chinese immigration.
