McHugh, to the Chicago Inter Ocean.
The lawyer on the other side, who was
a great talker, strongly warned the Jury
OF the danger of receiving hearsay evil
dence, which he described as often mis-
leading and unreliable, saying that, no
matter how honest witnesses were or in
tended to be. there was always a chance
meaning and language. For example he
quoted or pretended to quote, cOpiously
from the Scriptures, giving the four evan
gelists' accounts Of the crucihxion. which
he described in detail. At length the judge
said:

The Outlook for Cotton.

There are good reasons for thinking the
price Of cotton will be considerably high
er than az present before the season is
much further advanced. From no section
Of the cotton belt are the reports OF the
condition Of cotton highly favorable. Good
authorities in Texas say the crop OF that
state will not be above 2.oaU0o0 bales. In
neither Louisiana nor Mississippi is there
likely TO be a good average crop. The
weather has not been favorable for the
growth Of the plant. In this state and in
South Carolina the outlook for a good yield
is not at an promising.
The existing conditions. therefore. jus
tify the conclusion that the crop will be
a great deal smaller than the one that is
now about marketed. In that event the
price is certain to be higher.
Representatives Of English spinners are
putting out estimates that are calculated
10 depress the price. They are expocted
TO 10 that. Therefore. little confidence
should be placed ia what they say of the
probable size of the crop. They want to
get the cotton at as low a price as they
can, and. therefore, at the beginning of
the season they are certain to pretend that
a big crop is IN sight.
The cotton planters are in better posi-
tion than ever before to hold on to their
cotton. They are but slightly in debt,
and they have. as a rule. raised enough
corn and other food crops to enable them
TO live without parting with their cotton
as soon as it is picked. They can afford
to hold their cotton until they satisfy
themselves as to the prospect for bet
ter price later in the season.

King Jnme.. Ner.inn.


It is gratifying 10 observe that James
I, Of Trinidad. is alive 10 his interests.

Brazil and the well developed greed Of
Great Britain are 10 meet with vigorous
opposition. in the matter OF the seizure for
their own purposes Of VIVA promised 10 be
a most unique little kingdom; aud which.
by the way. IS the only monarchy on
this side OF the Atlantic. James !. who is
known in this country as Baron Harden
Hickey. has been heard from at the state
department In Washington. through his
chancellor. who is for the time being run
ming the government Of Trinidad from a
tenement house in New York city. The
chancellor has suggested TO Uncle sam
the propriety Of enforcing the Monroe
doctrine in the Trinidad affair.
The chancellor does not know exactly
what the Monroe doctrine is. He has
never read II, and would probably no;
recognize it il he were to see it, StH.
he has heard through the newspapers that
it is something to help little governments
that cannot help themselves, and some
thing on that order is just what he is
looking for. The chancellor, who is also
the commander-in-chief of the army Of
Trinidad. does not wish to go to war.
II it can be avoided, because Of the fact
that the army. which consists of the
chancellor and the commander-in-chief.
has not a gun ard has not been drilled
for some time. S;ll. II the worst comes
to the worst. the army Will borrow gun,
and shoot.
There is no room for a doubt that the
whole number of the subjects of James ].
would prove loyal to him in case hostin-
ties should break out. No census Of the
island has been yet taken so far as known;
but it is known that James has two
subjects. namely, his wife who
was born Flagler, the charming
daughter of Mr.. Flagler of Florida and
several other states. and the chancellor.
II may be that there is a prince or a
princess or two besides these, but such
persons have not yet become known in
connection with the controversy. There
are also some penguins, boobies, man-o'-
war birds and turtles, and maybe some

jects of the king in a strictly CONNER
cial sense only. They do not count when
it comes to fighting.
The king himself. it is reported. is at
present in California. He went there for
the purpose of securing immigration to
his territory. There are no contract Ia
Dor laws in Trinidad, and James l. was
busy hiring Chinese coolies TO gather
guano under contract when the news

What effect it will have remains to be

Copper is on a boom. This information
Is derived from the news columns Of the
New York Tribune, the leading organ of
protection. and one Of the strongest oh
jectors TO the putting of copper on the
free list in, the Wilson tariff bill Cop
per- like many other metals" says the
Tribune, has advanced considerably
within the last few months. The rise in
copper of two cents a pound within four
months has caused an appreciation in the
stocks of the mining companies" which
has been sufficient to induce a speculative
fever in Boston and elsewhere. 1t is esti-
mated that the increase in the value of
the copper mining properties since the new
tariff law went into effect has been not
less than SS0,OO0.OO0. AS to whether the
value is permanent. the Tribune SAYS:
THE present strength ia the metal is at
tributable only partly 10 speculation. and
Is said 10 be due u the large increase in

by this strong quotation from its columns:
Agitation Of the silver question on the

ill-judged, ill-timed and hurtful TO the
last degree. To the southerner. who

be as repulsive as rePublicanism, and
those who follow the teachings of the
third party are undoubtedly playing into
