THERE seems 10 be no doubt that
the cotton crop is badly damaged by
drouth, and that the crop Is short. The
price ID advancing. and We would not
he surprised - find cotton selling at 10
cents within few weeks. At any rate
1t Is not judicious to market more
than 10 required to discharge debts
already contracted and supply pres
cut necessities, and the farmers
should be able to handle the situation
TO their advantage. The following from
the New Orleans Picayune is sensible
and to the point, and should be care
fully remembered: SHOULD they at
tempt to market the entire crop in a
few months they will compel decline,
but should they market their Yields
1udiciously, so as to prevent over
crowding the market, they will be able
to compel satisfactory level Of values.
Friday the cotton market again ad.
vanced sharply, contracts improved
twenty points and spot cotton advanc-
ing to seven and three Fights cents for
middling. The advance as far AS con-
tracts are concerned, was equivalent
to 81 per bale, and the advance since
the beginning of the recent upward
squirt has amounted to fully "a per
bale. Cotton has now improved since
the LIST of last March, when the price
Tor middling was about five cents, as
much as two and hree-eights cents
per pound, which is equivalent to
nearly sl2 bale. Should this advance
be maintained during the period when
cotton is being marketed, it will mean
good profit for the Southern cotton
producer. particularly as cotton has
been grown at small expense this
season."

ton of the people. If the fact of
belonging to a political party
disqualifes a man from making a
good judge, what can be said in
defense Of Justice Winslow, the
opponent of Clementson, who is a
Democrat of the most pronounced
type and owes his elevation to an
appointment at the hands OF
Governor Peck at the dictation OF
Boss Wall because ne was a
Democrat. 1t is also said by some
that Justice Winslow is the candi-
date most favored by the attorneys
Of the state. This is not true.
The rural districts are full Of
attorneys who are pronounced in
favor of Judge Clementson and he
is supported by many Of the lead
ing attorneys of the state.

products, it is we'll to let the
farmers know what enormous
quantities Of our butter ard cheese
they are purchasing under the

in this branch of our foreign trade

figures, showing our exports for

Condition of Trade.

Substantially all indications of the
state of business are rather more
favorable. Farm products are a little
higher, railroad earnings a shade better.
clearing house exchanges a small per
centage larger in comparison with two
years ago than in February, and most OF
the industries show a somewhat better
front, though their gain is not large.
Money markets continue undisturbed,
the operations Of the syndicate still
prevent exports Of gold, and with
drawals from the Treasury have of late
practically ceased. There is not much
enthusiasm about the situation, how
ever, because the gain is slow, and
business IS yet a long way from what
was once considered a prosperous
condition. Further, the gain is in some
cases due to obviously temporary
causes, aud in some to causes which do
not make for prosperity .-Dun's Review

THE COMING JUDICIAL ELECTION.

The question soon to be settled
in the mind of every voter of
Vernon county is, "Who shall I
support for justice Of the supreme
court at tie coming judicial
election? 1t seems to us that
every voter should, and we believe
a large per cent will answer it in
favor of the Hon. Geo. Clementson
Every voter ought between this
and election time, to study into
this question that he may cast an
intelligent ballot and make no
mistake.
What we want in this high
position is a man of the people,
and one who, no matter to what
position he may be elevated, will
never forget that he is of the people
and such a man is Judge Clement
son. Of humble parentage,
reared in poverty, a son of toll, he
knows what it is to toll for his
bread. His early life was such
that he grew strong physically,
and while doing SO developed
mentally with equal pace. An
honest man, an able lawyer, an
upright judge and what more can
the people ask.
Judge Clementson has all his
life lived close to the common
people, and his great heart has
been moulded to their thoughts
desires and needs. Lancaster, a
quiet country town in Grant county
has been his home a large part OF
his life; and thus removed from
the large cities and the influence
of mammoth corporations the
better fits him to judge on questions
affecting the welfare of the great
masses of the people.
1t is urged by certain papers
that Judge Clementson is a Re
publican and ought not to be a
candidate against Justice Winslow
for this reason. He is a Republi-
can; but should this disqualify
him for a position on the supreme
bench? 1t certainly has not dis
qualified him to serve as Judge OF
the fifth judicial circuit for the past
twelve years to the entire satisfac-

Judge CIementson's Acceptance.

Gentlemen: Permit me to ex-
press to you my heartfelt thanks
for your expression of confidence
and esteem. I sincerely hope that
this is not wholly unmerited. l
fully agree with you that justices
Of the Supreme court should be
selected without reference to party
and that ~partisanship in judicial
elections is to be deplored. Some
of you know that have long held
these views, and that years ago l
declared that / would not accept a
party nomination for a judicial
office.
I am grateful for the high and
unsolicited honor you have con-
ferred upon me in rendering to me,
by papers SO numerously signed, a
nomination to a seat upon the
bench of the highest court Of the
state; and this gratitude is enhan-
ced by the knowledge that it is
rendered at the hands of voters
who differ with me in politics, as
we'll as by Republicans with whom
| am politically allied, SO that l
can Justly feel that this nomination
is in fact, as we'll as in name, non
political. AS such [ cordially
accept it, and assure you and all
of the people Of this state that if
| am elected [ will faithfully dis
charge the duties of this high
office to the best of my ability.
