The local spot market has remained steady

been very light. There was quite satisfa;-
Tory business done under the circumstances.

Inc futures market has steadily declined,
vim the exception OF splrt on tuesday,
when Liverpool advanced few points and
caused rise in the American
markets. The price Of cotton
Is very low, and unless some unforeseen ca
lamity occurs TO the growing crop the proc
aOl!ty is that still lower prices will prevail in
yhe future. At present the promises Of
large crop is gocd. though July indications
nave ottentimes proved deceptive. Several
states report cotton fruiting well, in some
set ons it has been laid by" while Houston,
1dIVeston and New Orleans have already re-
oetVed new bales. What the result Of the

Hill and Cleveland.

We wish that President Cleveland
would speak right out and say that ne
earnestly desires the election OF Senator
nm 10 the office for which the Senator
has been nominated by the unanimous
vote Of the Saratoga conventional noml-
nation not only unsought, but undesired'
and accepted only by the nominee from
sense Of duty to the party.
Such a declaration from Mr.. Cleveland,
made by letter, or through the mouth OF
an authorized person, or by means OF
the useful and amiable interviewer would
be beneficial not only TO our party in the
great state Of New York, but In every
State Of the Union. 1t would be fine
lesson in party duty.
We do not expect Mr.. Cleveland to say
that Mr.. Hi is a man after his own
heart; we don't call upon him to eulogize
Mr.. Hill---but we do think that Mr.. Cleve-
land could and should say, in direct
and unmistakable way, that he means 10
10 home to New York TO vote for Hill
for Governor, and that he thinks 1t Is the
duty Of every loyal Democrat to give this
nominee a cordial support. What Mr.. Hill
did for Mr.. Cleveland after Hill was de-
feated at Chicago, IN 1882, Mr.. Cleveland
should now do for Mr.. Hil. II it be
said that Hill took his time TO make his
declaration in favor of Cleveland, 1t can
also be said that Mr.. Cleveland has taken
his time, too-hc has not been hurried at
all-and should now speak out so plainly
that It viii be impossible for the most
perverse enemy of his or HITS TO mis-
understand his position.
1t is important for our party all over
the Union that there should be no further
delay in this matter. Should the Demo-
Gratis Of New York meet with disaster in
November, We shouldn't like for 1t to
lie in the mouth of anybody TO say that
III the President had said the timely
word we could have won the victory"
We know that Secretary Lamont has
Just said, the administration is a Demo-
cratic administration. and desires Demo-
cratic success" and. this being true, as
we have no doubt that It is, why should
not the President say as much for him
self In one Of the ways we have sue-
gested? Let's have 1t out broadly and
boldly.
There are men IN New York who have
been antagonized in many ways by Mr.
Hill. and some OF these may need 4
prompting from the President to induce
them to do their duty in November. Gov.
ernor Pattison. Governor O'Ferrall. and
other Democratic ex<cutivss hava s,oL.c
out in favor Of the regular Democratic

The immigration Convention.

1t IS reasonable to expect that the I'm
migration Convention, now in session in
Richmond will do great deal OF good.
The address made by Governor OFFER
rail- and the papers read by other gentle
men contain facts and suggestions worthy
Of careful study.
AS the outcome Of the proceedings of
this body We hope that a plan OF &C.
ton will be agreed upon which will be
practical and promising, and in which
every community In the State and the
State itself can join for the common
good
We do not think that there is any
doubt as to our ability to make a good
exhibit Of the advantages which Virginia
offers to immigrants; but how to reach
the immigrant or hamburger, from the
North or West-how to get his ear. as 1t
were, is more difficult matter
In our judgment, no immigration
plan can succeed which does not call
into our service the zeal. intelligence,
and work of persons from other States
OF this Union. and from foreign lands,
who have found agreeable homes In the
Old Dominion. Let us but summon these
to our aid and organize ourselves for
a vigorous campaign. and we feel sure
that all will be well.
1t is glorious cause in which the
convention Is laboring, and We wish 1t
great success.

One All.Important Issue,

We agree with Senator Hill that the
Maynard matter is not matter to be
argued or considered just now. Mr.. Hill
stands for ten times as much as is
involved In all the side-issues his enemies
can try to inject into the pending cam
paign- We shall not attempt to catalogue
the numerous things that are at stake
There Is one which will suffice to dwarf
any issue that his opponents can invoke
1t is whether free government shall or
shall not perish from the earth. For
II our free institutions are not involved
In the question whether minority or a
majority Of the people shall govern New
York hereafter, then nothing Is involved
In that question.

we suggest a remedy for train-robblng.
Let there he rule not to carry money
except ON day-trains Ii would be better
TO suffer a little delay in it's transporta-
ton than to lose It en- route. So long
as there are robbers bold enough TO at
tack a passenger in the expert way
the Richmond and Fredericksburg train
was attacked at night, and there Is trea-
sure aboard. they are going 10 get IT,.
and no train-crew can be well armed or
brave enough to prevent II. The courage
OF trainmen who are scattered from one
end OF the train 10 the other counts for
little, for they are as liable to shoot their
own friends from a distance as to shoot
the enemy, and when they come close
enough TO fight they are themselves the
target Of desperate men. who. OF course,
come prepared to Kill when that is neces-
sary to win. 1t Is Il useless sacrifice OF
life for trainmen to resist greater num-
bers with every advantage against the
crew, and II IS unjust 10 passengers TO
carry them along with money at night.
and to subject them TO these dangers,
which are the result OF the money and
the night, and the robbers have strong
affinity for one another. Stop carrying
money at night, and there will be TO
more holding-up Of trains.
