North Dakota Educational Assoc,ation

North Dakota Educational Assoclatio".
The annual session of the North Dako-
ia Educational Association will be held in
Fargo, December 29th, Both, 81, 1896.
This promises to be the best und most
largely attended of any session yet held.
Association is composed of the Depart
ment of Superintendents, The College
Sections, The High School Council and
the Department of Elementary Education.
These departments hold separate sessions
in the forenoons, the afternoons being
devoted to the General Association.
We wish to call especial attention to
the elementary department.
This department was organized at
Grand Forks one year ago. Its me Mbor-
ship is composed of teachers in the dis
trict school and in the grades below the
high school. 1t reaches by far the largest
class of educators and has the advantage
of the enthusiasm which comes from
membership.
An interesting program has been pre-
pared with period for general discussion
on all subjects presented. It's hoped
that all who can do 30 will be present and
assist in making thi. first annual meeting
of the Elementary. department a success.
In arranging for the meeting for the
State Association the Importance of social
features has not been overlooked. Fargo
people through the facilities of the N. D.
A. c., Fargo College and the teachers OF
the public schools will give reception
to the visiting teachers the evening of the
29th. Let all arrange to be present on
this evening and become acquainted with
each other. Refreshments and music will
be- free.
The High School oratorical contest will
be held in the opera house the evening OF
the sOth. lecture will also be given ny
some prominent educator during tho
meetip Of the association. Those who
attend the association can be assured OF
pleasant and profitable time.

Hon. Henry G. CasteIlanos,s of
the New Orleans bar, died at his
home there last week. Judge
CastelIanos for nearly half cen
tury was leading lawyer in this
State and stood in the very front
rank of criminal lawyers in the
United States. He was a most
able, fluent and persuasive orator
and few juries could resist the
power of his eloquence: About
1889 he retired from active prac-
tice and devoted his splendid in
telfectual attainments to writing
"reminiscences of his career in New
Orleans for the daily press, and
they were most interesting. He
pictured the old ante bellum days
in all the phases of society In the
city of his birth, and they were
read with the greatest zest by the
present generation. The barand

Now that it is understood that

gross the people and the press of
the District have been casting
about for a suitable successor to

After reading the interview of

of Senator Gallery, we are of the
opinion that the best manin the
District for the place has not been
mentioned, and we therefore name
Senator Cordill. We have. not the
pleasure of q personal acquaint-
ance with the gentleman, but the
sentiments expressed by him in
that interview are so sound, so
we'll covers the case from q Demo-
cratic stand point, that we would
be more than willing to entrust the
interests or TINS DISTRICT 70 his
keeping.
Besides, Senator Cordill has the
reputation of being exceptionally
we'll informed upon all subjects,
and especially such matters as our
Congressman is called to act npon.
He has large experience, having
served as State Senator for 16
years and as a member of our 9Th
District Levee Board ever since it
was organized.
His patriotism and his tact as o
politician were fully shown in -the
settlement of our late Guberna-
torial and Legislative embroglio.
We thiuk the District wonld be
fortunate to'secure the services OF
so able a man.

From all parts of'North Louis
lana come the most distressing ac-
counts of the drought and its
effects. In some parishes, it is
stated, that the crops are almost
entirely destroyed by the dry
weather and that all advances by
merchants have been stopped, and
public meetings are being called
for the purpose of asking relief at
the hands Of the Governor. The
streams have dried up, and the
woods are in such a condition that
forest fires are being dreaded, and
iii'some instances cattle have to
be driven twenty miles to water.
This the most distressing condi-
ton of affairs that has afflicted
tins country in for many years.
That section has generally been
regarded among the fairest and
most fruitful of Lousiana, and is
peopled by an intelligent and en-
ergetic class of farmers, who have
always been self-snpporting, MAX
ing their living at home, so that
this affection comes with terrible
effect upon people who have
usually been SO proyident and
prosperous. In the spring while
they we're planting their crops,
Charlton ragged among their stock,
carrying off thousands of horses,
mules and cattle, and the drought
has filed their cup of sorrow to
Overlooking.
Han appeal is made in their be-
half to the Governor, we have no
doubt but that all parts of the
State will be ready and willing to
respond to the call. We, of Ten
sas, must not forget that in 1878,
when threatened with a negro up
rising, the young men from our
neighboring parishes of North
Louisiana came to our support,
and were ready to risk their lives
insthe defense of our homes. The
recollection Of ..'7s'' should still
Represent with us in considering
the misfortuires that now aflict

MARKETS BY TELEGRAPH.
Cotton Letter.

New York, Feb, 2l.-(Special.)- .)-The sharp advance of Thursday disappeared today about as suddenly as it came. Liverpool was higher at the opening this morning, and May sold on the call at 7.S1, but quick ly dropped to 772 Liverpool also gave way, and the bearish feeling that had prevailed among the traders here until yesterdays spurt resumed it's sway. Gradually May sold down to 7.66. In the final trading short covering caused a rally of a point or two from the lowest, and the close was steady, with 76S bid for May. Next Wednesday will be notice day for March deliveries, and the immediate future of the market may largely depend upon the developments re- garding the settlements of the holdings of March cotton, which must then take place. We hear that many of the largest houses will deliver heavy lines of cotton upon March contracts. On the other hand, one Heading house, whose policy is very much of puzzle to the trade, is known to hold a great many March deliveries, which it has shown no disposition as yet to part with. If this house should take all the cot ton rendered it would have a tendency to support prices, and might cause a good rally, but if, on the other hand, it should show any unwillingness to let somebody else carry the cotton that will be delivered, a sharp and perhaps serious break would almost surely follow. But whatever the outcome of the March settlements, we are unchanged in our opinion that the general tendency of the market will be towards lower prices, and we advise our friends to take advantage of every good rally to sell cotton. Tomorrow will be Washingtons birthday, and the market will not reopen until Monday.
