The prospects for this years
cotton crop to bring anything like
a good price are not very cncour-
aging to the planters, for estimates
OF the size of the crop range from
eight and a half million 10 nine and q
half million bales. Good crops are
reported from all the cotton States,
and as the price is necessarily reg
ulated by the size Of the crop,
there is not much prospect Of It
bringing very good price.

PROCLAMATION BY THE PRRSI-

"Whereas, by reason Of unlaw-
full Instructions, combinations and

come impracticab!e in the judg-
ment of the President to enforce by
the ordinary process OF proc edi"gs
the laws of the United States within

"Whereas, for the purpose Of en-
forcing the execution Ut the laws

Therefore, I, Clover Cleveland.

said against aiding, conntenanc'ng

why connected with such unlawful
distractions, Combinations and
assemblages to dispense and retire
peacefully to their respective
abodes on or before IL o'clock noon
on the 9th day of July, instant.
''Those who disregard this warm
ing and persist in taking part with
q riotous mob in forcibly resisting
and obstructing the execution Of the
laws or interfering with the func-
tons of the government or destroying
or attempting to destroy the prop
erty belonging to the United States
or under its protection cannot be
regarded otherwise than as public
enemies.
''Troops employed against such
q riotous mob will act with all mod
Grafton and forbearence CONSTANT
with the accomplishment of the
desired end, but the necessities that
confront them will not with GER
tainty permit discrimination be-
tween the participants and those
who are mingled with them from
curiosity and without crimina! in
tent. The only safe course, there
fore, for those not actually unlaw-
fully participating is to abide in
their homes, or at least not be found
in the neighborhood of riotous as
sem3lages.
"While there will be nc hesitation
or vacillation in the decisive treat.
ment of the guilty, this warning is
especially intended to protect and
save the innocent.
''In testimony thereof, l hereunto
set my hand and cause the seal Of
