homes men have kept house but they never have made homes. Women are the home-makers and home. keepers. This characteristic of woman is just as important in the State as in the family. Men would think it grave error if no one but women served on the Board of Trustees of soldiers homes, if only women were physicians in and super. intendents of such homes. The writer smiles as she imagines what a furor would he created if all public Institu- tions should suddenly be taken out of mems hands and put into women's 6. No woman would want such a thing to happen.
 The writer believes that all public in- stitutions, schools, libraries, Iunatlc asylums, soldiers homes, etc., should have women trustees. directors, or whatever the term may be for such of. ficers, but she is little more radical than many women. However, she can not see how any woman can cease from making effort to have woman trustees on boards of all public institutions where women and chlldren live, wheth- CT it is lunatic asylum or a children's 6 home. A most pitiable sight is num- Der of motherless children, whose ta- ther alone is trying to plan for their future. Yet just such a man who knows that some woman must help him out with his family cares, does not seem to think that the principle ap- plies as well to the State.
 In many States women have besieged legislatures until boards of visitors have been appointed. These boards, however, have neither responsibility nor authority. They visit the institu! tons when they are expected and must report or make suggestions in writing take no notice of such report. They occupy about such position as for. nal caller would to the motherless fam. fly above mentioned. Such 8 caller might be sympathetic and interested but her help would be of little value because of the relation she bore to the family. The writer doubts if board or visitors does any good except to ac. custom men to seeing women about such institutions and to accustom wo men to serve on such boards.
 The time is surely coming when wo men and men will serve together al trustees, then will all the details of tn, home be under tood by all the mem hers of the board. Then will woman'I tenderness. her mother heart be felt then will many unfortunate womeI and children be happier and healthier Then will the state find that the smal economies which women practice Tn th' hume will be practiced in the State.

Just as cotton was beginning to show
some backbone. the fighters In the senate
came TO the rescue of the Cubans and the
bearsh SPECTATORS. This morning cotton
reached the highest price recorded s.nce
las; Saturday; during the afternoon it was
announced that the senate foreign rela-
tons committee had unanimously reported
a resolution in favor of the United States
recognizing the Independence of Cuba. and
the bears were Immediately picturjng the
horrors of war and dilating upon the In
jury that would be done to our trade by
foreign competition at this time. 1t was
claimed that tho Independence resolution
would pass the senate by Il large majority
and that war with Spain was bound to
follow.
AS result Of the war talk cotton values
dropped 20 points from the top price re-
corded this morning. Previous to the sem
ate tip the features of the market were
nearly all favorable. Liverpool had adj
vanced futures 3-Giu3l2-6id and spots Lied
with spot sales of 1000 bales. The in.
terror movement was lighter than expect
ed, and estimates of future receipts were
generally small. y good demand for spot
cotton was reported at several Southern
markets.
New York futures opened steady this
morning with an advancing tendency. Jan
uary started with 693 bid, advanced to &c,
but by noon had dropped back to 6.9i. Dur
ing the afternoon the decline was very
rapid and January closed at 679d6.S0,
against 6.9Sa6.9i yesterday. The highest

6.7l bid, sold down to $50 by the second
cali and closed at 6.55d6.56, against 6.59I1
