REooRD-BREAKING PRICES.
January Cotton Option Selling Lower
Than Ever Known on 'Uhange.

january OObbOn OpblOn SoAlluB Lower
Than Ever Known on 'Change.
New York, Sept. 19.-The January cot
ton option on the cotton exchange to-day
was selling at the lowest price on record
for the future options. The market
opened somewhat hrmer on rains in the
south and reports OF crop damage, with
an Improvement shown by the Liverpool
market. The January option sold up TO
668 cents per pound A selling move
ment engineered by the bears, however,
broke the price, and sales were made
down to 6.55, ? points below the lowest
yesterday.
The price not only breaks the records
for January made so far this season, but
breaks all records for the option. 1t does
not, however, break the lowest price on
record in the cotton market-62S cents
made on March fB, 1892, for the March
option.
These declines in cotton prices recently
have been due 10 the expectation of an
other such great cotton crop as that OF
iS9l]02, which aggregated over 1900, 600
bales, the largest crop in history TO date.
The bears are in the control Of the local
market. with no outside interests. IL did
not take particularly, however, selling to
knock prices down To-Day.

THE RIGHT TO LIVE.

There are people who believe the report
that Mr.. }. a. Fillmore, general agent of
the Southern Pacific, has said: IF know
that a man was not true TO this com pany
and if l find out that he has got job any
where l will pursue him and use my best
efforts to have him discharged" There
are so many reasons for believing that Mr..
: Fillmore did not use this language, or any
language of similar import, that we feel no
Hesitation in assuming that the report is
untrue. The words may appear over Mr..
FiIlmore's signature, but in such case the
question would arise if Mr. Fillmore was
in his right mind when the words were
uttered. II they are attributed to Mr..
Fillmore in an interview there is double
.. chance for error. Should the report have
got in circulation through the medium of
comWon rumor, common rumor would at
once be denied a hearing. The charge of
being untrue to the Southern Pacific Com
pany is of course very serious one, but
in public estimation 1t would be mitigated
by the daily demonstrated fact that the
Southern Pacific has at all times been IN
true to the source of its life. Is the offense
+ with which an eDplOye is charged. who was
under no other obligation 10 the company
than for an opportunity to do considerable
work for a small amount of money, so
much worse than the offense Of which Mr..
Fillmore knows the Southern Pacific to
have been guilty during a quarter Of
century, that MIR. Fillmore deems himself
:. justified ID driving the discharged employe
out Of the State or into the penitentiary ?
Certainly Mr. Fillmore comprehends the
estimation in which the Southern Pacific
Company is held in this community. and
wherever else 1t is known, too we'll to hold
up such con trasts. 4 company which has
taken 100000 600. more or less, of the earn
ings Of mortgaged railroad and given it
to its four proprietOrs, and which pleads
inability to pay its mortgage when due,
should not give the people an opportunity
to compare its own betrayal of its bene-
factors with the act of an employe in
throwing up his job. A company which
demands such absolute loyalty should set
an example Of common honesty.

WHAT THE BALLOT RESTS UPON.

Mr.. Francis M. Scott has been instruct
ing the members of the New York Consti-
tutional Convention on the fundamental
principles of government, AID among the
laws be has laid down is the following:
The basis Of government is force. Its sta
bility rests upon its physical power to enforce
its laws. Herein is to be found the ultimate
and immutable reason why men should vote
and women should not. 1t is simply because
men can fight and women cannot.
Mr.. Scott. had hardly completed the tas K
of giving an ultimate and immutable
reason" why men should vote and women
should not when Miss Martha Almy, a
lady correspondent of the New York Sun,
pOlled the convention and found that
seventy-six members were past the fight
ing age and thirty others would be dis
qualified by physical defects for military
service. The lady correspondent some
what hastily assumed that because there
comes a period in mans life when he
cannot do much fighting, those who had
reached that period should be classed
with those who were by the law of nature
nOn-combatants. Perhaps the lady cor
respondent of the Sun would have done well
to let Mr.. SCOTS argument pass without
that kind of answer. The fact that there
are few years Of boyhood and shorter
period of advanced manhood in which
males are practically non-com batants
does not impair the force of the fact that
there are forty years of a possible three
score and ten in which he is fighter. Tor
does the fact that there is now and then a
man who is a non-combatant from physi-
cal conditions impair the force of the fact
that there are enough men who can fight
to do all the fighting there is to be done.
Mr.. SCOTS reason is not '.immutable,"
but Miss Almy's answer is silly.

A RACE OF BRUTEs.

Tbemilennium has been so long in COM
ing that good many people begin to think
that the promise was intended only as
figure of speech--that the design Of the
creator never intended that man should
progress into a state of perfection. But
the following, which is given with the air
of one who knows it all, indicates progress
the other way:
Nine out Of every ten children are as regard
less of the pain or suffering OF the animal ere
alton as they are Of the liGeiessness of their
dolls or toys
If this is true, or if there is truth In it,
mankind is on the down grade. The oc-
casiona boy or girl who has no instinct of
the sense of feeling in animals has been
considered a proper subject for treatment
Such lack of sensibility has been regarded
as evidence of abnormal natures. Chill
dren are more often thoughtless than de-
void of feeling. They do not always stop
TO feel; they commit crueltes without
thought Of causing suffering. Their OBJ
ject is either to crafty curiosity or pas
sion for what they call fun. But a child
or an adult who has no senslbility when
other faculties are dormant is thing
without a soul Such a being would fur
nish an irrefutable argument in support of
the doctrine of annihilation.

THOUGHT 1T A GOLD MINE
Mr.. Fieidman Locates a Claim in
the Mission District.

Fred Kaufman, the well-known business
man, is erecting a half-dOzen two-story
cottages on Army street, near San Jose
avenue. While the ground was being
cleared for the foundations a hard rock
was struck glistening with bright particles
resembling gold
Otto FieldmaD, a man who thought he
knew something of mining, saw the rock
and pronounced it TO be the cropping of IL
rich lode which embraced both gold and
silver. He proceeded to stake out a claim,
and in little while the DeighbOrDood was
in a state of excitement. yerybody
wanted an interest in the newly dscov-
cred mine, and for a time it was doubtful
il the owner of the lots would have any
chance to erect his buildings.
Finally an expert was discovered who
pronounced the rock entirely worthless,
showing that the glittering particles were
only pyrites, and that the rock was not
quartz This decision has not. however,
satisfied all the interested parties as yet,
though Kaufmap hopes that he will have
no more trouble from that source.

RAILROAD MANAGEMENT.

There appears now to be shortage of
100000 or so In the accounts Of the
AtehisOn, Topeka and Santa Fe manage
ment. 1t is worthy of note that the man
agement which created the vacuum is not
the management which discovered it..
There is thus chance between the two
arrangements for the culprit TO escape.
But at best the Atchison rascal was but a
base and picayune imitator. He has
picked up a million where the original
Jacob. the builder Of the Central and
Union Pacific roads. gathered in ten mil
lions. Evidently the railroad business is
going to the dogs. 1t Is not much better
now than ordinary till-tapping.

READY FOR A JUMP.

If the present State government were
Democratic the course Of the Harbor Com
missioners in allowing the Southern Pa
cifc exclusive privileges on the water front
would be considered pretty good reason
why the power to appoint Harbor Commits
sioners should be taken out of that party's
hands. But the fzzle of the Cleveland
administration in the first half Of its term
does not inspire much confidence in the
ability or the purpose of the Democratic
party to do better. If the truth could be
known it would probably be found that
three-quarters of the voters OF California
are. ready to jump their several party
tickets should another organization hold
out the hope that the jump would not be
