originated and circulated reports un-
favorable TO the crop and the credu'
lous public, mostly of the South,
bought freely and in the two months
of September and October New York
sold 100000 balts of futures aud
margin OF 81 bale was required
and held by New York on the trans,
actions.
"Now having made the enormous
short sales, and having margins OF
the buyers in their hands, the time
had come for the sellers to break to
pieces" says Hampton, and they
pushed down prices three quarters OF
a cent in less than three weeks. This
sudden break required additional
margins of $2O,OOO,0O0 on 100000
bales. The buyers in the South con-
tinued to buy until New York made
short sales of futures of 100000
bales.
New York still continued to depress
prices to three cents per pound, and
closed out with a profit of 100000, 900
in her banks
This he says is the constant prac
tice of New York cotton gamblers.
Now to puncture his argument. If
this is the annual game of New York
why does not Mr.. Hampton in the
place of buying futures sell futures?
In the latter case he would be win
ming every time on a stocked hand,
as he has stocked it himself for the
New ork people. If this is their
game it is the easiest thing in the
world to go into partnership with
them and help them play that stock
ed hand.
If MIR. Hampton's charges are true
then never has the world
afforded an example of more stupid
and perfectly green men
who buy futures, whel they are
bound to win by selling futures and
quietly await the manifestations of the
New York speculators in futures. a

humorous works painted very bad

very pious father. Sam would gam

dad, who wins ?"
Mr.. Hampton says the New York
speculators always win by selling
futures to Southepners end o. hers
If that is true we can tell
Mr.. Hampton how to make
fortune in one cotton season
Join the New York clears" and sell
for future delivery and if his facts are
correct and his conclusions true, hs
can't help making fortune in one
season.
But is it not tritie too much to be

The heavens be praisedl New York
has laid the cornerstone of the Grant
monument at last. He died seven years
ago and New York has got as far as
making one corner of his tombstone.
By 1902 the monument will be half done.
1t took many years for the town by the
sea to build the pedestal for the Liberty
statue to stand upon while she was en-
tightening the world, and then it was
erected by the private enterprise of
newspaper. But New York got there
at last and she will get there with the
Grant tombstone. If Chicago had had

The Astors.

The death of William Astor In Pari,
set people talking, as the death of an
Astor always does, about the family
estates and history. One statement has
been made that William Astor was the
last Of the third generation Of the Astor
family. This is not true. William
Aston left a sister, Mrs Delano, who
lives in Europe, and a brother, Henry,
living obscurely on a farm in Columbia
county N. Y. Henry's father, William
b., cut him of with a small sum because
he married in the rank of life from which
the AstOr family originally sprang and
| preferred farming TO rolling up interest
and building houses in the city. The
| founder of the American family of
Astors was the son of German butcher
in Waldorf, near Heidelberg, Germany.
But 1t was crime of the blacklist kind
for the great-grandson of a poor butcher
to wed the daughter of an equally poor
and humble German family in America.
therefore was Henry Astor snuffed ont
as unceremoniously as the girls of the
Aston family always are.
The policy of the Astors has been to
keep the wealth together at all hazard.
To the son who shows talent for increas-
ing the family millions is bequeathed
the bulk of the property, while the girls.
worth nothing as money makers, are
merely portioned off with a small
amount. Thus William b. Astor gave
the bulk of his 5000, OOO, 900 to his son
John Jacob, a respectable portion to
William, who has just died, and 81 ,OOO,-
900 apiece to his daughters.
William B. Astor, the father of the
late William, was the real money maker
of the family, for old John Jacob, "the
original Jacob" was worth only 800
900, 900 at his death. His money was got
largely in the fur and China trade. But
when William B. became the head of
the family he turned his attention en-
tirely to the real estate investment bust
ness, which has since rolled up the AS
tor fortunes so enormously. The Astor
real estate policy is said to be to only |
buy very cheap and never to sell at all, |
but to build and rent.
At all events the present head of the
family, William Waldorf Astor, nephew
of the late William and grandson of
William B., is now said on good author
ity to be worth $3.50, OOO,O 900. 1t is Will
liam Astor's widow who has the famous
ornaments At the opera and
receptions she has sometimes worn dia-
monds to the value of 100000. Will
liam was the father of Mrs. Coleman
Drayton.

Without dissenting vote the bill to
permit foreign built steamers to fly the
American flag passed the national house.
The conditions under which such per-
mission is granted are briefly that the
steamer shall be first class ocean liner,
with g speed of not less than twenty
knots an hour or less than 8 1000 tons bur
den, and that 80 per cent. of the capital
stock of the steamship company has
been owned in America by American
citizens since Jan. / 1890, and is thus
owned at the present time Bot such
American owners must bind themselves
to build hereafter in American ship
yards steamers of equal tonnage 20 their
foreign built ships admitted TO registry
under the new law. II happens that the
lnman line steamers are the only ones
at present filling the requirements. Such
steamers as the City Of Paris and City
Of New York will therefore, in due
course Of time. fly the stars and stripes
instead Of the British flag. and win get
a subsidy for carrying mail besides,
Other lines will soon followlthe Inman
in preparing to float the national flag.

The meager dispatches thus far re-
ceived from Minneapolis indicate that
the Blaine and Harrison forces are
more evenly divided than either faction
has hitherto claimed. 1t is not improb-
able that the animosities engendered
by the contest between the two will
prevent the nomination of either. The
choice Of Fassett for temporary chair
man is not especially significant. It
only shows that for personal or politi-
cal reasons majority Of the national
committee favored him in pre-
ference to Senator Cullom, for
for whom, by the way, the Washing
ton delegation voted, though undoubt-
eddy strongly favorable to Blaine.
Just now 1t looks more like Mckinley
or Reed or Alger than Blaine or Hrr-
rison. The Michigan millionaire is a
strong friend Of Blaine, and his candi-
dacy looks as though there might
be an understanding between IL.
Ii Is OF little use to rack our brains
with long range speculation now.
We will know more about it when the
first ballot is taken.

The French Anarchists.

These are not anarchists; they are
scoundrels," is the verdict of individuals
in America who amuse themselves by
calling themselves anarchists. They de-
clare that murder and robbery are nc
part of anarchist politics Therefore
they are in state of indignation bo-
cause Ravachol and Simon were not
guillotined at Paris instead of being
sentenced to penal servitude for life.
There is no doubt that the "extenuat-
ing circumstances" found by the COVER
ing jury who rendered the Ravachol
verdict were the fear that they too
would be blown up. The public SO un-
derstood it. "Cowardsw shouted the
angry public as the craven jurymen
passed out of the courtroom into the
street. And the miscreants who do their
crimes under the name of anarchists
grow holder than ever. The French
are not a cowardly nation. They must
know it is brand of disgrace ON them
that whole country is terrorized by a
few cutthroats. The lives of the Judge
and jurymen who tried Ravachol might
or might not have been endangered by
death sentence. But if so life is not
worth having at such a price. M.
Beaupaire, the public prosecutor, shows
up splendidly in the midst of the gen
eral cravenness Of the court. The
threatening letters had no effect to
drive his strong, brave spirit from its
duty.

WELCOME VETERANS.

Today the hospitable and patriotic
people Of Fairhaven most cordially well
come to their homes and iresides the
veterans of the mightiest war of mod
ern times, comrades of the grandest
army of the republic, who are assem-
bled here i'm annual reunion as repre-
sentatives of the department of Wash
ington and Alaska. More than a
quarter Of a century ago, when the
mighty deeds of the union armies had
cast off the shackles from a million
slaves and prevented the triumph of
the dangerous doctrine of state sover-
eighty and the attempted wreck of the
nation, these men laid aside the i'm
plements Of war for those of peace.
turned their swords into plowshares
and their spears into pruning-hooks,"
and from the bloody battlefields
of the devastated south returned
to the homes and loved ones
they had left in response to
their country's call to crush out slavery
and secession, TO the end that "this
government of the people, for the peo-
pie and by the people might not perish
from the earth" Never will the
heroic deeds Of the participants in that
mighty struggle cease to be celebrated
in song and story. The muse of history
will paint their achievements in un-
dying colors; poetry will lend
the rythm of its numbers to its
chronicle Of their deeds; orators with
tongues of eloquence will exhort the
youth of future generations to emulate
their patriotism and deeds of valor;
and the novelist will weave wondrous
tales Of fiction from the threads of their
mighty strife.
The Grand Army of the Republic is
a wonderful organization. For it there
Is no parallel in all history. After
twenty-seven years of peace, during
each one of which thousands of the
men who wore the blue and survived
the war have gone to join the myriads
OF the "unreturning brave" whose
hearts were stilled upon the battlefields,
this patriot army of peace numbers but
little less than 400 900 men; and though
the great majority of them are getting
old and feeble now, the fires of patriot
ism burn no less strongly in their
breasts than they did thirty years ago.
Not one of them but would respond as
quickly now as in 1861 to a call to de-
fend the stars and stripes from the
attacks of any foreign or domestic foe.
Not one of them but would Law down
his life most willingly if need be in de-
Tense Of the grand principles which are
the foundation of the nations power
and grandeur.
All honor we say to the veterans who
are with us today. No matter from
what walks of life they come; no mat
Ter what their politics or religion; no
matter what the clothes they wear. LET
us bid them each and all a hearty well
come to our homes and share with
them throughout the period of their
visit all the good things that our life

There are always ways of getting
around laws, even Of the modus vivendi
kind. Canadian coasters are so bent on
discriminating the Alaska seal that they
will sell their schooners to citizens of
nations other than Great Britain. The
schooners will be sailed under foreign
flags, but the same Canadian seal muir
derers will command them and continue
the trade. Then tho other nations will
be brought into the embroglio. APP
parently it has never occurred to these
pigheaded fellows that they can do any
thing else for living than exterininate
seals. or that there is anything else in
the ocean worth catching.

Mouths.

The editor of Scribner's Magazine is
accustomed to watch the faces of the
throng about Union square New Y ork to
guess which are actors and which are
not, since this. the "Rialto," as it is
called, is the favorite promenade for the
dramatic profession He believes he
can spot them by the expression Of their
mouths-the men, that is. Here he finds
curious difference The particular
expression he refers to is ga certain in
dication in the lips that they are sub
ject to the will of the owner" Strange
ly enough, he finds this sign wanting in
all actresses except Sarah Bernhardt.
One supposition by which he accounts
for it is found in the hint that maybe
"woman's whole life is so continuous
and successful piece of acting that
the training leaves no perceptible indi-
cation"
he writes of the tentale story of
mouths in general:
II is an expression Of controlled mobility. of

good actors but curiously, fascinstingly arti-
hcial. The late John Gilbert had it decidedly
In equal force, but slightly more refined. Ed
win Booth has it. An eminent criminal law
yer told me once that when he had to decide
whether witness was lying to him he watched
his mouth. His theory, based on years Of
acute observation, was that a practiced de-
ceiver could render his eyes inexpensive, OF
even make them express the contrary of his
thought or emotion, but that the Inns eqr,a
cially at the critical moment when a well con-
trived question touched the vital point Of his
story. would most often betray the truth,
though the voice straightway began to deny it.
My own quite limited experience had sug-
gested to me the same view.

Once more the habit of woman in look
ing under her bed for man just before
she retires has been justified. This time
1t was Miss Turner, an actress. She saw
dark object under her bed, grabbed it
and found it was q mans ankle. The
ankle had man fast TO it and the man
was, unfortunately for well known and
gallant profession, drummer.

What Garfield Thoucht.

1t is very refreshing sometimes to
pause awhile in the fight against tariff
extortion, and while taking breath to
bait the protection bull with some rag
like this from one of Garfeld's speeches:
"We have seen that one extreme school
of economists would place the price of
all manufactured articles in the hands
of foreign producers by rendering it i'm
possible for our manufacturers to COM
pete with them, while the other extreme
school, by making it impossible for the
foreigner to sell his competing wares in
our market, would give the people no
immediate check upon the prices which
our manufacturers might fix for their
products. disagree with both these
extremes. hold that a properly ad-
justed competition between home and
foreign products is the best gauge by
which to regulate in irrational trade.
Duties should be so high that our
manufacturers can fairly compete with
the foreign product, but not SO high as
to enable them to drive out the foreign
article, enjoy the monopoly of the trade
and regulate the prices as they please.
This is my doctrine of protection. If
congress pursues this line of protection
steadily we shall year by year approach
more nearly to the basis Of free trade.
because we shall be more nearly able to
compete with other nations on equal
terms. am for a protection which
leads to ultimate free trade. am for
that free trade which can only be,
achieved through reasonable protec-
tion."
Had Garfield been a member of the
Fifty-frst congress he could not have
been whipped into line by Mckinley.
He would not merely have talked
against the Mckinley bill, as Butter
worth did, but he would also have voted
against it, which Butterworth did not.
