COTTON.

The advance noted in last weeks re-
view was lost by the discouraging stu
atlon of the controlling markets. Prices
dropped back &c and remained steady.
There We're sharp fluctuations in fu-
lures which cause a disposition on the
part of holders to wait until steadier
market prevailed. 1t has been the opin-
lon of everyone that the price has reached
the bottom notch, and that from now on
the tendency will be upward.
The following were the official spot quo
taJlons at the close of the market, at the

All On One side.

vote for the rapid transit scheme will
be vote that the city shall practically ex-
haust its constitutional borrowing capacity
for the benefit Of an enterprise as to which
1t itself will have nothing TO say.
The city will have no authority over the
undertaking, no influence in determining
the plans or the routes Of the system Of
transit Of which it will be required to pay
the cost 1t will simply put up the money
to be expended by Commission of eight
members, on which It has only two repre-
sentatives, and OF which the remaining six
members are selfperpetuating
The extreme limit Of the constitutional
borrowing ability Of the city is at present
less than s5s, 900, 900. A vote for this
scheme is that $50, ,OOO, 900 Of that amount
shall be borrowed as a first contribution
toward the cost Of an enterprise over which
the city will have no control and upon
which the total necessary expenditure, in
the opinion of competent engineers gener-
ally, will be at least $50, 900 900, and prob
ably more.
II Is said that the increase Of the assessed
value of real estate will extend proportion
ately the limit Of the city's borrowing abl
increase in the amount OF money borrowed.
The estimate OF $50, 600, 900 is confessedly
inadequate, and the additional sum
required would have to be borrowed
under the compulsion Of further legis-
lation at Albany, or the money already
expended would be wasted. This necessity
would arise however honestly and econom-
ically the road were constructed but the
experience of undertakings conducted at the
public cost proves that actually the expen-
dture would be far more than such neces-
sary outlay.
A vote for the rapid transit scheme will
be a vote that this indefinitely vast sum Of
money shall be borrowed by the city and
loaned, substantially without security, to
private company obtaining the exclusive
right to construct and operate the road from
Commission over which the city
has no control These contractors would
assume no obligation to pay interest on the
loan from which they could not easily and
would not inevitably escape II it should be
profitable for them to do SO. IL it turned
out that they could operate the road profit
ably to themselves, they would pay the in
terest for which the city made itself liable
on its bonds and one per cent. ad-
ditional. II they could make no profit
out of the franchise they would throw
it up and retire with the profits they had
made on the construction, less only by the
forfeit of $1,000, 900, which they would be
required to pay. As there is no probability
that there would be any profit in running
the road, the city would be sure to lose and
the contractors sure to win.
Is II possible that any sane citizen of New
York will cast vote In favor Of such
proposition as that'

not he favorably answered There was no
question Of race or religion involved in 1t or
associated with IL.
Some days before Mr.. STRAUSS nomina-
tion we commented as follows upon n re-
mark Of one Of our Jewish contemporaries
about the religious Affiliations of a man
whose nomination for a municipal Office bad
been spoken of:
THE question ot religion that ought to be
introduced into American politics The religious creed
Of candidate does not Affect his fitness for once.
The people NJ this city have not been In the habit ~
carrying their theology into politics elections
There arc Jewish citizens who have been elected to
very high and important ofcea in the municipal gov
ernment, and their religion barrier TO their
election"
This was our doctrine in September before
the municipal nominations; and 1t is our
doctrine now, and ever will be. We hold in
contempt any politician who utters any
other doctrine upon this subject. He is a
pseudo American. He cannot be a genuine
Democrat.
We have no doubt that Mr.. SrRAus, IL he
had stayed in the field till election day,
would have got the votes OF some Of our
Jewish citizens who do not ordinarily vote
the Democratic ticket: but, at the same
time, there is direct proof that many others
OF these citizens, who are Of the Republican
party, would have voted against him, for
party reasons, independently Of all other
considerations We are certain that there
are plenty OF honorable Jewish people in
New York. both Republicans and Demo
Gratis, who would cast aside the suggestion
OF our Jewish contemporary, the Tidtngs,
when II says:
"The Tdinos does not support NATHAN srRAus be.
he Ia Jew, although in this particular campaign
that might he sufi1clent argument"
We must ask our esteemed contemporary
to reconsider this unwary remark. No wise
patriot would present such an argument.
The only becoming objection to Mr.
STRAUSS candidacy was his unfitness his
lack Of that executive understanding and
those personal qualifications which ought
to belong to any man who desires to be
elected Mayor of the first and foremost of
American cities.

Southern Opinioa on CIsveiaad's Des. rtioa
or His Party.

ATLANTA, Ga. Oct. 2+.-The Legislature OF
Georgia met to-day, and the city is full OF the
members. The most noticeable thing about the
conversation is the way in which they praise
Hill and damn Cleveland. One OF them said to
the correspondent OF THE Sun: - don't care
cent about Hill, but he is Democrat. and he is
making the pluckiest fight OF this century. He's
making II against tremendous odds and he's
fighting like a man. As for that fellow Cleve-
land, he ought to be drummed out OF the party
voted for him three times, and wouldn't vote
for him now for town constable. What does he
meanY Can't he see that Hills fight is De-
mocracy's fight; that II he goes down it's good
by for the Democrats?
Cleveland doesn't understand the way the
South looks on his course. and he will be
amazed when he finds out after this election
There will not be public man in tho South rho
would accept an endorsement from the Presi-
dent. The fact is he's q traitor 10 the marty
which has hOnored him, and he will meet the
fate OF all traitors"

We are sorry that the Baxter street
"barkers." otherwise known as pullers-in, who
have struck In sympathy with the old clo'
members on the strike, did not strike unani-
mously. We hold that they are entitled TO tho
biggest wages conceivable, for their work Is
hard, their hours are long, and the strain upon
their lungs Is very trying 10 the health. They
ought TO have pay that would fll DIR. DEPEw

which we approve, and no doubt Baxter street

auieter and happier II It lasted forever
A first-class barker ought to have at least $50

He Must speak. Notwithstanding.

What Is said with such positive conviction
IN the following communication Is still ac-
companied by an error In judgment:
To ruE Enron ov THE sUr-sfr In my opinion
opovrp CLEVELAND has been made 30 contemplate in
she estimation of the people, that trord speech or
litter now uttered by him in favor of the election OF
DAVID BgsSErr HuI- would be without weight or con
alteration IN this State. q. SANGER
Whatever relation Mr.. CLEVELAND may
now in fact occupy to the mass Of his fel-
low citizens, IL remains true that he none
the less manipulates the doings Of the small
group Of persons who have nominated one
Of themselves, Mr.. EVERETT p. WHEELER,
for Governor Of New York, primarily to de-
feat the Democratic candidate, Mr.. HILL.
These people derive every degree Of polit-
ical influence they possess from the
Democratic party, through their pc
culiar association with the impor-
tance IL has conferred on CLEVELAND
himself, and over them the President has
ample influence. They can yet be addressed
by him with authority, with the effect Of
removing from the field a battalion
equipped with stolen Democratic ammu-
milton, but fighting to make the Demo
cratic party lose to the Republicans
While Mugwump lifts his voice against
Hill with the pretence, expressed or i'm
piled, Of acting with the Presidents ap-
prevail the latter is bound to pay the debt he
owes his party by declaring for its candidate.

We think highly OF those art schools kept

account elsewhere. The students have q fine

results have accrued from them, as can be seen
In the exhibition now open here.
We wonder that an art school Is not kept in
other than the summer season. The months OF
September and October, for example, are glo-
rious months for the landscape artist. The win
ter months give opportunities for the painting

II was impossible to enforce the ten-min-

Cooper Union meeting Even the amiable
