The Picayune, of April Goth,
states that cotton for May delivery
is below Z cents, and that the out
look for producers is not at all en-
couraging. The low prices are
said to be based on the belief of
spinners that the present supply is
ample for all needs. This is most
remarkable condition of things for
the season when the farmers are in
the act of planting their crops.
There is tradition in rural locali-
ties that this is the season when the
''bulls" get in on the "bears," and
that prices are purposely put up so
as to have big crop planted for
the SPECTATORS benefit But this
theory is knocked out under present
conditions.

Our Washington Letter.

WAsHINGTON. d. c.. April n, 1894.
The more one studies the work
of the Democratic Senators the
more apparent it becomes that
they need leader. There is too
much guerrilla fighting, Single
leadership is as necessary in poll
tics as in an army, if results are to
be accomplished. 1t may please
the personal friends of Senator
for him to strike out on his own
personal hook and make q brilliant
attack on party measure, but the
example is fatal to party harmony,
as it is always followed by those
who never would have attempted
to lead such a movement. 1t is
not necessary that a leader shall
have more ability than any of his
followers. All that is needed is
that one man shall be recognized
as leader. The full significance OF
this will be plain to any Democrat
who will take the trouble to ask
half a dozen Democrrtic Senators
to name the Democratic leader OF
the Senate, and note the number
named. Now, there may be doz-
en- leading Democratic Senators.
but there should be and can be
only one real leader at time. Il

leader the party would be spared
the spectacle of the uncertainty
now surrounding the tariff bill.
Of course every Democrat knows
that the Senate is going to pass
tariff bill, but there is no man who
can now say just what sort OF
bill it will be when it is passed, bn1

with the attitude the President oc-
cupies toward the Senate, for his
skirts are entirely clear.
Senator Smith, Of New Jersey,
added his voice to that of Senator
Hill in attacking the income tax
and other parts of the tariff bill, in
a set speech delivered in the SEN
ate this week. After stating his
reasons for opposing the income
tax and other schedules of the bill,
Mr.. Smith said: "but, in justice to
my party, my State and myself, I
cannot leave any room for misap-
prehension. The Democratic par
ty is under a distinct obligation to
confer the boon of tariff reform
upon the American people. We
cannot hope to overcome the pres
ent dissentions and fulfill this obi
cation unless we beat down all at
tempts to create discord within the
ranks and strive earnestly for par
ty harmony" Mr.. Smith has no
doubt heard the story of the eleven
obstinate jurymen. His plea for
harmony recalls it wildly.
There has been lots of talk here
about the production of evidence
showing that the navy department
did not find out all of the "snide"
business connected with the max
ing of armor plates by the Carne-
gle company, but up to this time
nothing new has been placed be-
fore Secretary Herbert, although
he has been ready and anxious to
get hold of anything new.
Forty-seven Democrats in the
House stood out to the last and
voted against the adoption of the
rule for counting a quorum, but
its adoption was inevitable, and, as
long as it seemed impossible to
keep Democratic quorum on hand
it is perhaps just as we'll. There
will be no more dead locks during
this session. That is much to be
very thankful for. The Republi-
cans are pretending to be much
pleased over the adoption of the
rule, but as a matter of fact they
are not. 1t ends their ability to
make trouble whenever they pleas.

by them. It is not probable tina,

know where they stood. They fled their
respective claims and asked for Justice.
There is no preference in such cases. The
receiver regards every claim primarily as of
equal Importance. But the creditors are al
ways very pressing and very persistent.
Each considers his claim as paramount. In
a case of the magnitude of the one under
consideration, it requires a firm head and a
determined mind to conduct matters. Mr..
Young possesses those qualities. After he
had looked the ground over and formulated
plan of operations, he stuck to his decision.
Nobody could move him. It will ALWAYS
rebound to his credit, that the big banks
and large banking houses of the metropolis,
nearly all of whom were deeply concerned
in Cordage, came around to Young's views,
after energetically opposing them at the
start.
Mr.. Young originated new idea in re-
ceiverships during the Dixon crucible re-
organization, and he followed the same idea
in Cordage. Ordinarily, and in fact almost
uniformly, it is the duty of receiver to wind
up the business, pay the creditors as much
as possible and report the results to the
court. Yaung adoped novel plan. When
he found the concern could be continued at
a profit, he advised the court that it should
not be wound up. It used to be the custom,
in case raw material was on hand, to convert
such material into manufactured product
sell the product and then stop operations
Young reversed this mode of procedure in
the Dixon case and repeated it in the
Cordage. Ke made up his mind it would be
folly to wind up the concern. If that were
done, the creditors wnpld only get from
St. Paul daily globe., 1894-05-06

ting the members of that organization to sup
port them in releasing the southern prisoners
and in aiding, by arms if need be, the cause
of the Confederacy.
The date set for springing the conspiracy
on the public was the assembling of the Dem
ocratic convention in Chicago in 1864. The
gathering OF large numbers Of citizens from
all over the country at that point and at that
time would not attract attention, and Hines
and Castleman had arranged to have from
thirty to forty thousand men in the city. all
secretly armed, and ready at signal to seize
the telegraph Offices and the railroads be-
tween Rock Island and Chicago, and to re-
lease and arm the $4,000 confederates then
held as prisoners of war at Camp Douglass.
Had the scheme worked as it had been
planned they would have had an army at
once of from fifty to seventy-five thousand
men, a majority of them trained soldiers.
whose ranks would be quickly swollen by
accessions from the discontented men in
Illinois, Indiana and the Northwest.
1t would seem that the government had
some suspicion of danger in Chicago at the
assembling of this convention, for the au-
thorities took the precaution to send 1000
troops to that point. Even the friends of the
union in Chicago at that time regarded this
as very unwise proceeding. The democrats
raised the cry that an attempt was being
made to over-awe the convention and intim-
idate themselves. In proof OF this they
pointed at the soldiers recently arrived, and
the presence of thousands of b,ue-ead men
in the city was seized on as pretext by tie
conspirators TO infane their oath-bound al
herents. Fortunately for the casse of good

She now has the patents. The work included

forty to sixty per cent. of their claims, the
numerous enterprises interested would be
sacrificed and one OF the great arteries Of
trade would stop flowing. He advised that
manufacture be continued and that the ne
tire project be kept in business and allowed
to grow and expand. The chancellor follow
ed his suggestion, although he took big
risk. 1t shows the regard the chancellor had
for Mr.. Youngs judgment that he permitted
his wishes to be carried out simply upon
the latter's request and without any personal
examination OF the matter
The creditors were at first indignant and
surprised at the receivers course, and then,
amazed at his firmness, they gradually be-
came converts to his plan. They all signed
documents concurring in his methods, and
from that time on the task was comparatively
easy. Mr.. Young says he spent day after
day conversing with the various creditors.
Many of them threatened him, others argued
with him, and still others begged him tc
desist. To all of them he was pleasant,
but dignified and determined. He outlined
his scheme and refused to swerve from it.
He told the creditors if they waited and were
patient and accommodating, they would
come out ahead. II they baked and refused
to assist, they would be lucky if they got hall
OF what was due them. After he had cons
quered the creditors, Mr.: Young started with
the reorganization project. A magnificent
set OF men were selected by the creditors to
undertake the work-most of them were
bank presidents. Young declined to accept
the men selected. He declined, not because
they we're unacceptable, for they were all
eminently satisfactory, but because he said
II the public learned that heads of large
banks were interested it would at once con-
clude something was wrong, and another
panic would ensue right on top of the one
that prevailed last summer. The bank men
agreed with him. and the reorganization com
mittee finally chosen consisted of members
OF banking firms and business men.
It is matter of recent history how well
this committee did its work. The stock
holders were assessed, a new company was
organized to take over the old, and new set
OF securities was issued. The creditors
cialJus were arranged for at part, so much in
