THE COTTON CROP.

A few days ago the government issued,
through the responsible department,
revised and amended estimate of the
cotton crop for the current season, set
ting it down at s, 200, 900 bales instead of
100000 bales, which had been the
previous estimate The large amount of
the staple which had come into sight at
the end of January-an amount exceed
ing that which had come into sight at
the end of January, 1891, by nearly
500, 900 bales, no doubt prompted the
department to make the revision of its
former estimate.
Meantime, the quantity Of cotton mar
keted and in sight shows very little signs
of falling off, and according to the New
Orleans Time-Democrats calculation it
would not be very surprising if, in
another month, the department were to
have occasion to revise again its revised
estimate and place it 100000 or 100000
bales higher. Any way it Is now almost
certain that the crop will reach consider
ably if not far, beyond the 5000, 600 limit.
Up to the end of the second week of
February, 1891, there had come into
sight only 7,105,S52 bales, and the entire
crop amounted to $3.50, 900 bales. This
year, up to the end of the second week
in February 1884, 697 bales had come
into sight; and with this much greater
quantity forthcoming at this late date,
it would be peculiar to the last degree if
the total crop this year were to be, as
the government has estimated it 500, 900
bales less than it was last year.
Bradstreets has put down this years
crop at s, 49O.00O bales, and Bradstreet's
estimate is, beyond doubt, going to be
much nearer the mark than the estimate
of the department.
And yet, in the face of all these facts
and figures, and the continued "ruinous-
ly low price" of the staple, the announce
ment comes from the cotton growing
sections that the planters as rule are
making preparation to maintain last
years acreage TO that crop. and in some
instances, 1t is believed, the acreage will
be increased. Such things ss this cause
many people to doubt the sincerity of
the planters statements that they lose
money raising cotton at less than cents
for middling upland. If their state
mentS are true their condition, that COM
pels them 10 continue the business, is
certainly pitiable.

there is every reason for hoping will be
the case; Will visit New Orleans for the
purpose of seeing what facilities it pos
sesses for handling flour, and will sail
thence for Cuba.
The reciprocity treaty with Spain re-
duces the duty ON American Hour from
$3.50 to 81 per barrel; and, as the total
consumption of the island is about
million barrels year. this item Is big
one, as there is every reason for bellev-
ing that we will have monopoly of the
Cuban -four market. Havana has, it Is
true. been importing a large proportion
of its -four from Spain, the difference in
its cost on account of the duty being
great; but it has been lately shown that
most of the Spanish -four was manufac-
tured by spectators from low grade
American wheat.
The northwestern millers hope to ship
their -four through by the carload, have
it carried to the waters edge at the most
convenient Gulf port that is accessible
to such shipping, and shipped thence di-
rect to Cuba. They naturally expect
that when this trade is well opened it
will not be restricted to -four, but that
our neighbors will want all kind of
western produce; and it is only natural
to look for reciprocal business, and that
Latin-America will send us its varied
products in return for our -four, pork, etc.

HILL IS NOT IN 1T.

That Hill is a man of unalloyed
patriotism and even answering fidelity
to party principle independent Of selfish
interests nobody, we apprehend, Will
claim, not even his most ardent sup
porters. But that he is not long
headed and adroit politician nobody
will assert. After all this fuss about the
presidential nomination has subsidized it
will be found that Hill has simply been
playing for position. Hill is as well aware
as anv one else that the Democratic party
of the country is largely in favor OF
Cleveland for the nomination. He also
knows that after this year Cleveland
will be barred, by the unwritten law OF
custom, from further consideration IN
connection with the presidency. But
Hill is smart enough to see in all this his
opportunity to place himself in the line
of succession by developing as much
strength as possible as a candidate for
the nomination now.
Hills name will not so before the
national convention; it is doubtful that
it will be presented before the New York
state convention, but if il is it viii only
be done to afford him the opportunity to
complete his coup d'etat, i. e., to decline
in the interest of harmony in the party
and to avoid a possible division in the
party in New York state. This Will
place the party under obligations to him
and leave him in position TO make for
NAL demand upon it.

a PECULIAR CASE

The statement comes from Atchison
that the lawyers and doctors Of that
place are confronted with a very peculiar
case. 1t seems that eight years ago Rob-
ert T. Rose of Missouri fell into hole
il the sidewalk in that city and sustained
permanent injuries. Suit was brought
against the city The first jury allowed
the plaintiff 5000. The judge reduced
the amount to S., 500. The case was
taken to the supreme court and the de-
cision of the lower court was affirmed.
The city then refused to levy tax to
pay the judgment. Mandamus proceed
ings were brought in the district court
which resulted in Judge Eaton issuing
an order compelling the city to levy a
tax.
Last week the money was paid over to
Roses attorney, who notified him to
that effect. A couple of days later Rose
came to Atchison and gave himself up
to the sheriff stating that he was per-
jurer and desired to be punished for that
crime. He said he swore falsely at the
trial Of the case; that he fell into hole
on purpose and did not sustain any in
iuries, and that he had decided to be a
follower of Christ and cannot rest with
such an awful sin standing over him.
Three or four Atchison doctors swore at
the first trial of the case that Roses in
juries were permanent and they now de-
clare that he is crazy over the subject of
religion. The county attorney is investi-
ting the matter.

GOOD sPELLERs LIKE POETS.

That find which develops that Jerry
Simpson cannot spell can hardly be called
discovery. For Il period as old as his
political career. it has been openly charged
that in a mastery practice of standard
orJhography, he is sadly deficient
But, partisan prejudice aside, there IS a
point or two in this matter, beside the
mere opportunity for ridicule that will
interest.
To be honest, the witticism that attacks
a mans spelling is weak. So.
When the chief clerk of the pres
ent house of representatives showed
newspaper correspondent an en-
dorsement on a bill in Jerry's
own chirography in which he writes
with rare abandon of phonetic simple
ity: "a bill for the relief of certin Settlers
within what was formerly the Forte
Doge military Reservation in Foord
county, Kan, and to conform entrees of
Public Land Enormously allowed thereon"
And again:
"A bill to repeel the portions of section
fourteen of an act Approved february IL,
eighteen and 70, which made the golde
Dollar the unite of Value"
This clerk, when he espied the endorse
ment: Joint Resolution atheriZing the
publicK Printer one Hundred thousan
coppys of lawes relating to Loanes cur
chrysaiis of great joke. And may hap
he did, if you look at it that way
But leaving the personality OF the case
cited, out, it does seem that there is little
true wit in the average fling or play on
misspelt words.
photography is an art, strictly speaking,
and, strange as it may appear, spoilers are
born not made. Some men naturally fall
into an accuracy of words and an intimacy
with sesquipedalian verbiage, which is
astonishing, while others, of equal mem
tally, struggle in vain to overcome the
multitudinous diversities Of simple written
English. How often, most OF us Will stop,
stock still. in our screed, in a provoking
ENHANCEMENT, unable to tell whether it is
the Sc" or the 'i'' that IS first in the dipth-
thong in receive"
Spelling is an art, but not of the first
magnitude-it is secondary to rhetorical
composition. In proof of this it can be
cited that a man can be a great orator and
a poor speller; even some forcible writer's
:
many strong minds today are totally at
loss with a pen in their hand and the
prospect of ridicule for faulty photography
in their mind. And, on the .other side, a
brilliant speller may be perfect dolt in
other things
In this connection, it always seemed
strange that the early American school
devoted so much time to the spellingbook.
Strange, inasmuch as many a scholar
could successfully spell ''phthisic" and
not be able TO ask for a drink of water,
dramatically.
For this reason. it does seem little out
of place to ridicule anybody, not profess
ed writer and scholar for bad spelling.
Still the literary critics set the cast of
criticisms, and bad spelling. on the part
Of anybody who presumes to be anybody
is under the ban. This has been SO and
will continue to be so, and men like the
Kansas congressman will have to bear the
brunt of being taken unawares and hoist
ed to high station unprepared.
Bad spelling will continue to be ridcul-
ed, like quackery in medicine and barratry
in law.

Putnam's Old Winter Quarters.

REDDISG, Conn, Feb. Any one who
drives over the wild, rOugh hills Of this re-
gion at the present time will find them
lonesome enough, and there is no lack Of
snow and ice. Cutting winds sweep over
the long ridges, and the roads are encum-
bered with frequent drifts. IL may be
thought that the woods we're thicker in
Revolutionary times and hence q greater
protection against the winds. but il II an
open question whether there was much
difference between then and nov in that
regard Many lots that were titled fields
in those days have been allowed To grow
up to woods, and clearing has probably
net greatly increased the amount of open
country. Certain il IS that the Continental
soldiers Of General PUtnan's division
found abundant cause for complaint when
they were in winter quarters on one Of
these ridges in the bitter winter Of 117s-9.

Under the operation of the new rules

powers given the committee on rules, it
is already manifest that this is to be a

that amounted to fig as far as legislat-

the cammon-sense business methods the
house adopted for its guidance and gov

he was obliged to resign the gavel TO Mr..
