b. Beer Of New orleans-An: later
estInR Cotton Statement.
Saturday, Nov. IA, '96.


Dear Sir-Those favoring cot
ton were disappointed with the
attitude of Liverpool today, and
our market in sympathy opened
Z points lower. Subsequently
the indications of larger port
receipts soon, owing to the in
creased movement at the inter-
ior towns, influenced prices
adversely and occasioned an
additional decline of 6 points.
Near the close outside buying
orders ran the market up )
points, thereby reducing the loss
on the day to s points.
We think receipts will rule the
market from now on, and as the
probabilities are for a material
increase in the movement, we
advise buying Only on very
weak points.
Yours very truly,
Fl. a. b. BEER.

TAIMAGEs LATEST EXPLOIT.

/ AS reported in the Eagles dispatches
recently, Dewitt Talmage, he Of the
prodigious metaphor, has forced his CO.
pastor out of the pulpit in the First
Presbyterian church in Washington,
d. C.
Talmage recently removed from New
York TO Washington. He was TO
preach in the evening, receiving no
other compensation Tor MS services
than from the newspapers which pay
for and publish his sermons. The re-
suit of this series of evening services
was marked. The morning services
were almost entirely deserted. Presi-
dent Cleveland, the sole attraction of
the morning services, has quit attend
ing regularly, and the pastor, Allen,
whom Talmage has forced out, could
not draw an audience.
This presented the spectacle of a
damned church in the evening and de
serted peWS in the morning. The con
gregation at once raised protest. Tai
mage must speak in the morning as
we'll as in the evening and the young
pastor must go. This the young man.
Allen, refused to do, not that he loved
the congregation or the place, but be-
cause his salary was inscribed on Il
contract.
The matter was finally settled by the
congregation promising to pay Allen
his regular salary until October 80
next, providing he would retire at once
and allow Talmage to preach both
morning and evening.
The result of this characteristic
church squabble leaves none of the
light. If Aliens mind had been of a
superior quality he would have accept
ed the decree of popularity and retired
humbly, convinced that time would
vindicate him. If Tamage had been
of the loving nature his friends claim
for him, he would have refused to per-
nit the dismissal of the mediocre Al
len, merely because he was mediocre,
but would have forced some sort of Il
compromise in the matter out of the
congregation, or left himself. And of
the three parties concerned the con-
gregation itself is the most pitiable.
1t was under a contract with the young
minister and should have lived up TO it
with resignation, and if the young man
did not shine SO near the Respondent
glory of Talmage it was their Christian
duty, and would have been an indica-
ton of Christian spirit TO encourage
the young man and TO persuade rather
than command him.

San Francisco committee of fifty, has
issued a circular warning congress of
the presence in Washington OF Coils
z. Huntington, king of the lobby. The
object of Mr.. Huntington and his lob
by, as alleged by Mr.. Sutro, is TO secure
legislation favorable 10 the bankrupt
Pacific railroads. Instead of grant
ing more legislative fayors TO these IN
deserving corporations. Mr.. Sutro in
sistS that the government should fore
close its mortgage and sell the rail
roads TO the highest bidders. This is
more easily said than done. IL sold
on the mortgages, the Pacific railroads
would be bought up by the corpora
tons themselves, or would fall under
the ownership of the government. But
the government does not desire them
on any terms. 1t would be better for
congress 10 forgive the debt than for
the government TO assume the proprie-
torship and control of these railroads.
But by making easy terms BY which
the companies could pay ne mortgages
held by the people of the United States
it might be possible for the government
10 recover u part, if not the whole, of
the debt
