for wool manufacturers cannot
buy until they know whether they
will have to compete with. the wool
products of the foreign maker at
ruinous prices, is already demon
strated, and if free wool entries are
established it ruins the Texas wool
industry. The wool growers of
this southwest are realizing this
and they will soon come to under
stand that the politics that helps
their business is the only politics
that they can support. When this
sentiment becomes general then
this free trade foolishness will die
out.

WEDNESDAY, SEPT. 13, 1898.
THE COUNCIL DID RIGHT.

That the city council has only
done its plain duty in the matter
of the garbage furnaces is patent
to any one who has kept posted as
to the contract and the work that
the furnaces are doing. The LIGHT
regrets, as no doubt the council
does, that this course was neces-
sary, but it is so plain that the
furnaces cannot do the work that
is required and which they con-
tracted to do that there are no two
opinions as to the Justice and wis
dom of the council action. This
city wants garbage consumption,
but it does not want to throw
away $4,000 on an abortion. This
matter as thus decided does not
end all attempt to consume gar
bage in this city, but it
does end all attempts of in
terested parties to fOist on the tax
payers of this city furnaces that
are practically worthless for the
purposes for which they are de-
signed. The council have COM
.mended themselves to the conf
dence and support of the tax
payers by their action in this mat
ter, and it is to be hoped tn at in
all things else they will exercise
equal care and good judgment
in protecting the interests of the
people. The verdict on the reiec-
ton of the furnaces is one of
unqualified approval. All that
the LIGHT has desired in re-
peatedly cautioning the council
on this matter has been the pro-
lection of the people from fraud.
1t has always advocated every
measure that aimed at preserving
the health of the city, and has al
ways considered that money wise
ly spent in multiplying means OF
garbage destruction and the re-
moval of filth was to be approved
but it has not advised the accept.
ance of these furnaces, because they
do not properly consume garbage
and thus answer the end of theil
construction. The LIGHT sincere
ly hopes that the city council will
pursue it's Investigations until it il
certain that no effective garbage
furnaces can be constructed here
or until one that can be relied OF
to do the work is in operation. T,
the city council in this matter i
says "Well done good and faithful
servants"

There are some prOhibitiOnists
left in Iowa who would rather
serve in hell as prohibitionists
than reign with the Republicans,
with whom they are in accord on
every other question save this of
enforced prohibition of all intoxi-
cants. They will train with the
Democrats, who are their open and
avowed enemies in all things, soon

is that which a revenue tariff i'm

HOPING FOR A COMPROMISE.
Silver Men Confident That the Repeal
Bill Can't be Passed.

They Deny the Ability of the Admin
istration Forces to Hold Quorum
Without the Aid of the Silverites.
The Latter Propose to Quit the Sem
ate Not Later Than l O'Clock in the
Morning.
Washington, Oct. 10.-A compromise Ia
still the chief topic of conversation. There
is great difference of opinion. 1t is con-
tidently asserted by some that by Friday
night a compromise will be agreed on,
while others say with equal confidence
that it will be impossible to fix up a COM
promise that will pass. The prepond-
erance Of opinion is that there will be a
compromise, but nothing definite will be
done on that line until the test Of endur-
ance has been made.
Several conservative leaders Of the Sem
ate on both sides are now at work trying
to lay down the basis of an agreement.
If they succeed it is doubtful whether it
will be presented before tomorrow nights
programme has been carried out.
Messrs. Blackburn. Vest, Berry and
Walthall 1t is said will do all they can to
mend the Voorhees, bill, but will not fill
buster. The plan of the majority is
simply to hold the Senate in session until
vote is had. The silver men will make one
motion to adjourn and then assume an ag-
gressive attitude and prevent an adjourn
ment until the quorum is broken. Their
spokesman, who will probably be Mr..
Dubois will maintain that the anti-re-
pealers have furnished a quorum which
could not have been maintained without
them, and that without them the adj
ministration men would be helpless, as
they nave not had quorum of their own
men present a single day
PROGRAMME oFTHE SILVER MEN.
The silver men will be present and help
preserve quorum until | O'Clock in the
morning, after which they will withdraw
or refuse to vote or answer TO their
names. But few Of them will remain on
the floor, andlthey will insist on a quorum
being present every minute and refuse to
adjourn or take a recess until the repeal
ers confess that they cannot hold a quo
rum, and that the continuous session is q
failure.
The general estimate is that the session
may last until O'Clock in the morning,
though many think it will not last that
long
The most probable line of compromise
is the coinage of about $2, 600, 900 a month
for two or three years and the issue Of
O0,OOO, 600 of bonds If needed
One element of weakness among the
silver men is that almost every one now
has a compromise of his own TO propose,
thus increasing the difficulty of am agree
ment. II has been suggested that the
administration men themselves offer
compromise, and thus turn what would
otherwise be an administration defeat
into victory, but it is hardly probable
that President Cleveland and Secretary
Carlisle will agree to that.
The House democrats came out of the
matter Of the repeal of the federal cleo
tion laws in splendid shape. There is
great enthusiasm and good feeling gem
orally among them.

CONDITION OF COTTON.
A Loss of2.7 Points Shown by the Bu-
reau report for the Month,


Washington, Oct. 1O.-The October re-
port of the statistical division of the de-
partment of agriculture makes cotton
show decline of ~ points from its Sep
| tember condition, which was 79.4 as
against 70.7 for this month. The condi-
tton OF cotton in the month of June was
$50, declining to S27 in July and TO S0.4
in August, losing from that time to the
present 81 points. The retrogressive
tendency has been persistent during the
season.
Reports from the most fertile parts of
the cotton belt are far from hopeful. The
Texas crop of lS92-93 was about 81 per
cent. of the entire crop of the country,
and the October report Of this depart
ment of 1892 showed a condition of " per
cent. as against 65 per cent. for 1893.
The percentages of the states are: Vir-
glnia 03. North Carolina 76, South Caro-
lima 62, Georgia 76, Florida 81, Alabama
rs, Mississippi 70, Louisiana II, Texas 65,
Arkansas II, Tennessee 50.
THE CHANGES FOR THE MONTH.
The October condition in the states Of
Virginia and North Carolina is the same
as that of September, while Texas has
gained two points. Reports from eight
remaining states indicate declines in CON
diJion from l to 10 points
The state averages for September were
Virginia 03, North Carolina 10, South
Carolina 63, Georgia n, Florida So, Ala
bama rs, Mississippi IS, Louisiana 81,
Texas 63, Arkansas so, Tennessee 68.
The causes of the deteriorat5d condi-
tions are the same as those reported in
the September report. The weather CON
ditions have not been favorable. Pro
tracted and widely prevalent drought
excessive moisture in some places and va
rious insect enemies Of the plant have all
contributed toward producing the low
condition reported. A late and favorable
autumn Is the only hope Of improvement.
The weather conditions are favorable to
successful picking in most parts.
