There was more genuine excitement in
cotton trading this morning than there
has been for the past month, owing to
the Government bureau report. which
was given out at IL o'ciock to-day.
1t had been. expected that the report
crop over last year of at least per cent,

of cotton in Texas. In this. however, the
bears were disappointed. The report was
a surprise to even the bulls, and the result
was q rapid rise In prices Immediately
after the report was read. When the bears
heard the report they began to recover as
rapidly as possible. The market starteA
up several points at o time beyond the
opening figures, and business was brisk.

in regard to the trouble that is expert
enced by farmers in pasturing cattle on

some experience which seems to indicate
that bloatine may be avoided by pastur

Representative Randall's Work.

Among the members who have &C.
cured the passage Of an appropriation
bill none deserve more credit than Mr..
Randall Of Otero. His measure was the
Twin Lakes reservoir bill, and it was
strongly opposed, more so than any 9TH
er appropriation bill yet considered.
But Mr.. Randall was well primed with
figures and facts, and was able to refute
every argument brought by the oppon-
ents OF tho bill. He met Mr.. jerks OBJ
lection, because Of the title, with a letter
from the general land office, showing that
the title could be procured. Mr.. OMa-
honey's objections, because OF the danger
Of reservoirs. were parried by the state
ment the altitude and temperature at
Twin Lakes were the safeguards neces-
sary to prevent catsstrophies. Mr., Ran
dali, throughout the discussion spoke
convincingly, and only the shortage Of
funds kept the appropriation down to

To the Taxpayers Of the Municipal
Corporation Of the Town Of Rocky
Ford,

LADIES AND GENTLEMEN:-We the can
didates and supporters of the Citizens
ticket for municipal Offices Of the town of
Rocky Ford desire to present the follow
ing argument and have placed the argu
ment in print that it may receive your
calm and thoughtful consideration:
We believe that in every act Of legisla-
ture the public good ought to guide, and
that therefore if the moral sentiment OF a
moral effect as to the drinking habits of
a community then prohibition should be
enacted.
We believe that whenever it is demon
strated that the well-being of people is
actually jeopardized, no consideration Of
financial gain, great or small, should be
for a moment considered. In other
words, that If the existence of a saloon
placed any compilation upon any indi-
vidual to patronize it the united vote of
the people ought to be invoked to sup
press it.
Believing that on the contrary the sa-
loon exists because the moral sentiment
Of tho community has not ceased to pa
tronize it, that whether licensed or un-
licensed it will exist, the people are alb
solved from responsibility for the action
OF the individual when the saloon is put
under high license and strict surveillance
by due process OF law.
We believe that instead of enacting
more laws the friends OF temperance and
morality should unite to enforce the laws
we have and to this end we arc in favor
of license being granted, and out Of the
fund so derived an officer. to be named by
the friends Of temperance, shall be paid
an adequate salary and clothed with the
fullest authority to enforce the present
laws in regard to Drunkenness, Gambling
and Sabbath observance.
We believe that 30 long as the town of
Rocky Ford must bear its proportion Of
taxation for the criminal proceedings
growing out of the drink habit, it ought
to along with the rest of the county to
collect a revenue from that source, thus
making the man who drinks and the man
who sells liquor (and not tho sober and
industrious people of the community
pay the cost Of thir indulgence.
The nominees of the Citizens ticket
hereby agree that if they are chosen by
the people at the coming election they
shall, at every opportunity that presents
itself vote in support Of this platform,
avoiding none of it's responsibilities and
dodging none of its issues.

The Heirs of a Swede Suing for q Part
OF Philadelphia.
NEW YORK, January 2.-The heirs OF
William Skillinginks, name which his
descendants have changed to Schillinger,
have decided to sue in the courts OF
Pennsylvania to regain that part OF Phil
adelphia known as Southwark. 1t con-
tains three and half square miles, is
solidly built up and worth many mill
ions. Most of the heirs live in Southern
New Jersey, and belong to the Schillin-
ger, Hand, Townsend, Bennett, Rose
man, Stevens and Hughes families;
William Skillinginks, Swede, owned
the property in the middle of the eigh-
teenth century, and leased it in 1776 for
ninety-nine years. With the twenty
wears of grace allowed to occupants oil
land for a perfect title this lease will ex-
pire in 1896. The heirs claim that Skill
iinginks received his right to the prop
erty from indentures, which were made
in legal order, subsequent to the charter
given to William Penn by Charles H.,
King of England, in 1881, and from
grant on May, 1884, to the Swenson lam
ily by the Dutch Governor OF Delaware
which grant was afterward confirmed by
Sir Francis Lovelace, the subsequent
English Governor of Pennsylvania, and
recorded at Upland August 81, 174l.

His Answer to the Criticisms of Rev.
DR.. Parkhurst.
ALBANY, N. Y, January Sin an in
terview this evening Senator Lexow said
he had no answer to make on the criti-
cisms of the work of the committee con-
tanned in DIR. Parkhurst's manifesto.
Obviously, the best answer would be to
point to the committee and say: "By
their works ye shall know them" Sen
ator Lexow said he had too high regard
for DR.. Parkhurst to say that he is actu-
ated by any but the highest and purest
motives in what be says or does. He
continued:
"But it is strange indeed that when
the crucial point was reached and Super
intendent Bvrnes was on the stand, as
everybody knew he would be last Satur-
day, everything that was suggested was
done. And yet this criticism. Through
out the entire examination Mr.. Moss
stood at Mr.. COTS side and co-operated
in the conduct of inquiry. 1t is unnec-
essary to add anything to this. AS to a
deal, it is plain one could not be effected
unless through the cooperation of a
majority of the committee acting in con-
junction with all the counsel. The
statement of this proposition is the best
REPUTATION of the charges.
"Let any one suggest question that
was not put, charge that was not
made, an Indictment that was not
brought or anything, in short, that was
omitted before they criticise. To my
mind the meat of the statement is to be
found in the declaration that the Senate
has uncovered all the corruption in exist
ence in the Police Department, and there
still remains work for the Society for the
Prevention of Crime to do. Iwish them
God-speed in this work."

A Definite Statement From Monsignore
Satolli.
WASHINGTON, January 2.-Owing to
misapprehensions caused by the publ
cation of a statement that the decree
concerning secret societies was not final,
and was to be submitted to the Bishops
to secure from them their opinions
thereon, Monsignore Satolli authorizes
the following brief statement of facts:
"The Archbishops of the United
States have taken counsel with respect
to three societies, namely, Odd Fellows,
Sons of Temperance and Knights OF
Pvthias. The Archbishops decided that
the whole question should be submitted
to the Apostolic See. In a communl.
cation from his eminence, Cardinal
Monaco, to Monsignore Satolli the action
of the general congregation OF Cardinals
to whom his Holiness committed the
question is made known. The congre-
CATION after considering carefully the
matter made the decree; this decree
his Holiness fully confirmed and gave it
complete effect. The decree is, there
fore, transmitted to all Archbishops,
Bishops and other ordinaries in the
United States to be by them carried into
effect. Monsignore Satolli has acted
merely as q medium of transmission,
but in view of the contradictory and con-
fusing reports emanating from various
parts of the country the facts are thus
briefly stated"
