who call the cure for constipation a cure-all, are only hafwrong

COTTON NEXT YEAR.

A correspondents who is supposed to
be cotton expert writes to the New
Orleans Tines Democrat as follows:
Cotton can be brought IN Liver
pool for October aud November, 1895,
that is, next year. at 8 IA pence,
equal to about 4 1-2 cents in the in-
terror of the South Thus the cotton
grower has before him the cheerful
prospect of already knowing that Liver
pool will sell him American cotton of
next years growth at 4 IL cents be-
fore be has put the seed in the ground
that is to grow the crop of next year.
What better objec, lesson than this does
the Southern cotton grower require to
show him that an enforced reduction Of
the cotton acreage is imperatively de-
manded Another and successful at
tempt to raise again next year a crop
resembling in size the one now being
marketed will force Liverpool for Octo-
Der, November, 1895. down to .
pence, equal to 3 and 81 cents at interior
points in the South. Far more pro6ta-
bic for the South to buy October-No-
vember in Liverpool at 3 pence than to
plant crop which in Europe is already
selling at q cents. or less. on plaota-
tons"
II this correspondent is correct iu his
statements and conclusions, says the At
lanta Constitution, our cotton planters
would save money by not producing a
pound Of cotton next year.
We have little hope. however. of see
log the acreage greatly reduced. Still,
it is the duty of every newspaper and
every maD with any influence whatever,
to urge the farmers to plant less cotton
and to diversity their products. When
our people adopt this policy and manu-
fac,ure tbeir cotton at home, they will
be able to bring up the price to prof.
table figure. Even then, there will be
40 great prosperity for our agricultur-
lists until We Increase the volume of our
currency. Under the gold standard 1t
will hard to arrest the decline Of prices.

CLEARING THE LOBBlEs.

President Scannell, OF the Fire Com
mission, confirms the story that the law
prohibiting the managers of theatres
from allowing persons to stand in the
aisles during performance must be
enforced. II the law is as Objectionable
as some persons represent he says, the
best way to insure its repeal or amend
ment Ia to enforce II. His own judgment
Is that 1t Is a good law, and that to
allow people to stand In the aisles and
lobhies of places OF amusement must
necessarily cbstruct rapid exit in case of
fire and Is calculated to lead to disaster.
President Scannell says the officers Of
the Department will be instructed to use
discretion In enforcing the law. and to
avoid as far as possible any controversy
with the employees of the theatres. OF
course. the Hobbies at the back OF the
boxes are the places where the people
who pay admission money only gather,
and that is Just where Crowding Is the
most Objectionable and the most hazard
OTIS. Yet the law mentions "ases" only
and it is contendei by theatrical folks
that this space behind the boxes Is not
| an aisle" So the nremcn stationed AT
theatres are instructed to use some dis
Cretion In enforcing The law, hut to tax,
care that no crowdnE obstructIng tn,
exits shall b. permitted.
| The law is Il good one for the publl,
in many respects and /, is to be Ecpr,
| II Will be properly enforced.

OVER $4,000 FOR THE BABIES.

The Sick Babies Fund to-day amounts
TO 324 o32.63. AS everybody knows. who
has followed the course of the charity,
and nearly half-millon people have
had their eyes on IL every day. this is
the largest amount reached in any year
since the Fund came into existence,
seven years ago. Without the surplus
from former Summers, which was added
when the Fund opened last May. the
contributions are nearly $4,000 in excess
OF those of the record year, 1892, when
over $4,000 was received from the peo-
pie.
The present large Fund, amassed in a
season OF terrible business distress, Is Il
magnificent testimonial OF the popular
ity Of The Evening Worlds" charity.
It shows not only that New Workers
and their neighbors are big hearted and
liberal handed, and that the cry OF inno-
cent, suffering. helpless infancy brings
from them ready responses of love and
money, but II also shows that the public
has full confidence in THE Evening
Worlds" carefulness and conscience in
these matters, and that 1t relies upon
1.-THE Evening World" to give its hest
services in the cause of charity, as in
all other directions In which the pros
perity, health and general welfare and
security of the community are con-
cerned,

THE END OF BRoCKwAY.

The Brockway case s closed so far as
the testimony is concerned. There can
be no doubt in any unprejudiced mind
that the charges made against the man
aSements and methods Of the Elmira
Reformatory are not only sustained by
the evidence, but that the Illegal and
brutal methods have been brought more
closely home to the Superintendent and
managers by this second trial.
There can be no doubt what the find
ing of the Commission will be. But there
ought to be no delay in the report, and
not 4 moments loss of time in sweeping
out of existence both the Superintendent
and the present incapable and unfaith-
full Board of Managers. Gov. Flower
will be very blind to his own political
interests f he does not act promptly. and
no elaborate report is required from the
Commission. The scandal Is siCkening.
Let the Brockway-Arnott crowd 20.
An effort IL now being made by the
Brockway interests to turn the Reform
atory over to the state prison manage
ment. To change the characters of the
institution just at the moment 1t has n
prospect of being saved from Brockway-
ism, and made real Reformatory,
would be an outrage the people OF the
State would Indignantly denounce.

THE BRECKENRIDGE BATTLE.

At o'clock this afternoon the people
of the Seventh District Of Kentucky
will have decided whether they will any
longer be represented in Congress by
w. c. =. Breckinridge, or whether they
will retire him to private life.
The fight In Mr.. Breckinridges dis
trict has been a curious one. 1t will be
surprising If 1t closes without n star
Ting tragedy. Some years ago such q
campaign would not have closed with
out bloodshed.
1t seems to be supposed that the Con
CHEESEMAN'S immoral conduct Is the prln-
cipal cause of the opposition made &c
his reelection. The fact Is that 1t was
his dastardly defense In the Pollard
suit. his attempt to cast the blame upor
the woman, his baseness In introducing
her among reputable women and fami
lies as his intended wife or as an ire
proachable character, that made his of
Tense 30 objectionable in the eyes o
men. If his offonse had been only hi
immoral and unfortunate relations with
the woman he would not have met sucl
a bitter opposition.
Mr.. Breckenridge deserves to be de
fsated. His return would be disgrace
to the State, which it Is to be hoped /
may be spared.
