One Primary Election Enough.

Ward Committeeman J. F. Nc
Garvey. who heralded the primary
election" in the First ward to nomi-
nate a candidate for alderman with
so much formality. and which cul-
minated in a farce, has not under
taken the same course of procedure
a second time. He has simply taken
the thing up himself, and put Will
liam Zeis on the ticket. This stride
from one extreme to the other, from
the close restricted caucus with close
scrutiny of every one voting to the
exclusiveness of the absolute one
man power. is a novelty in itself that
First ward republicans will no doubt
relish, while they are trying to find
out by what agency the committee
was delegated the authority to de-
viate from the course laid down by
the city-township convention over
which there was so much gusto al
the time.

had been leased 70 the Virginia com-
pany for q term Of four years COM

will be made in the working force.
The Globe Company has capital

about $4,000 tons The company has
not sold out but simply leases its plant.

The Cotton Crop.

Washington, Dec. l0.-A cotton
crop equal to g. 5 per cent. OF last
years, or 6 .575 900 Da!es of 500 pounds,
is indicated IN the Il .ai returns from
coantY and S'ate correspondents. The
Department OF Agricvl'ure's more
complete reports, based on the com-
mercial movement, will be issued in
1896, the FIRST of them probably in
February. Mean farm price 7.5s
cents, a gain of IS per ceut. on last
YEARS figures, 46 and 9 per ceut. on
1898. Return from correspondents,
almost uniformly unfavorable as to
quantity, the weather having proved
generally disastrous in the South,
caused an unusually carly marketing
throughout the c,tton area, with an
a most total sacrifice Of top crop. Lint,
howaver, Is generally clean, so that
the quality is exceptionally high.
Many reports show crops completely
gathered and marketed.

MIR. Cleveland d OF Finances.

We have not had an opportunity OF
reading carefully the Presidents recent
message to Congress unit! few day:
ago, but as the financial question is
always live and interesting sabjec1
it is not out Of da:e to consider what
the President has to say in reference
to it. Mr.. Cleveland makes oI' such
8 strong case for his side Of the CUES
ton that it seems to Us his argument
against the free and unlimited coinage
of silver is lust unauswerable.
Let rs take up his statement Of the
facts; though we cannot do so in his
strong, forcible language as peculiarly
characteristic of the man.
First he mentions the fact that the
United States notes, commonly callt d
greenbacks, was Issued in large volume
during the war he ween the States;
and the debates in Congress at the
time show that the advocates Of such
notes declared that it was only intend
ed to authorize their issue to meet the
temporary emergency Of the war.
ssThese notes amounted to 1881 $685.
CTS at the close of the year 1874"
In January, 1875, a law "was passed
providing for the resumption Of specie
payments and the Secretary Of the
Treasury was required, whenever ad-
ditional circulation was issued to
national banks, 10 retire United S'a'es
notes equal in amount to SC per cent
of such additional national bank c'r-
culation until such notes reduced to
$500, 100000" After. the fr,t Of JAN
uary, 1879, the United States 'tes,
then outstanding, should be redeemed
in coin, aud the Secretary of the
Treasury, if necessary, might issue
bonds to procure coin with which to
redeem these notes.
In May, 1878, however, another
statute was passed forbiddipg the fur
ther cancellation and retirement of
these notes. This act not only pro-
hibited their cancellation, but pro-
vided that the notes should "be rei<-
sued and paid out again and kept in
circulation" The amount OF such
notes in circulation at this time was
s546 ,6S1,O16. AS Mr.. Cleveland so
WEI says, "This was the condition of
affairs or the 1st Of January. 1879,
which had been fixed upon four years
5sfore as the dae for entering upon
the redemption aEd r*ti. emen; Of all
these notes, and for " hich srch abun-
