HUBBARD BROS. & CO.'S LETTER.
New York, July -(Special.)-
market has been steadier to-day on de
mand from the continent for cotton
for future shipment on basis OF pres
emit prices, and a better tone to the Liv-
erpool market than anticipated last
evening kilograms have also been
received from New Orleans stating that
the recent rainfall in Texas was in
sufficient, and THAT more rain was
needed. With the exception OF the de-
mand from the continent, no new buy
ers have made their appearance,
though in view of the uncertainties OF
the weather it would seem prudence
ON the pant of spinners to provide
themselves with at least portion OF
their needed supply business, how
ever, is SO unsettled in consequence
of the coming election that there APP
pears to be no demand for cotton in
any quantity in America. Some sales
for export have been put through dur
ing the past two days on weak mar
kets; upon local conditions the market
looks sold out with the cotton in bet
ter hands The market rallied on To-
cal buying and the continued demand
for Lancaster and continental account
through the larger export houses.
This demand was sufficient to absorb
all the offerings from the South. Au-
gust recovered on short covering

THE ITALIAN APPOMATTOX.

Courier Journal King Meneik is willing
to leave it to Italy's sense of equity to fix
the indemnity he shall receive for the board
and lodging of the prisoners he captured
some months ago. The Italian sense OF
equity would better be keen, or the next
batch of prisoners will not be permitted to
put the Abyssinian government to any such
expense.
New York Times: The acknowledgment
of defeat is humliating, but, as it is true, it
was best to make it finally. There is
another Latin nation which has refused to
make a similar acknowledgement in a case
somewhat similar. Perhaps that Italy has
owned that she is beaten in Abyssinia may
be an effective argument with Spain why she
should own that she is beaten in Cuba.
Chicago Journal: After the loss of much
blood and treasure Italy has been compelled
to acquiesce in the abrogation Of that
treaty by which she had established a
prctectCrate over Abyssinia. The native
king of the country gave her armies a re-
cepton that was altogether too warm to be
comfortable, and the sufferings of Italian
captives in Abyssinian prisons have brought
her government to its Senses
Chicago Chronicles: The well-known
shrewdness of Menelk OF hbyssinia is again
made apparent in his appeal to the pope to
intervene in the dispute between Abyssinia
and Italy The willy African monarch has
beaten the Italians by force of arms and
established the integrity of his country,
but he knows enough of European diplomacy
to appeal to the head of the church to take
part in the settlement of the trouble. His
attitude from the first of the war to the
present day has indicated a quality of states
manship, combined with generosity per-
sonal bravery and great military skill COM

A MODERN WONDER.

st. Louis Republic: The successful harnes-
sing of Niagara Falls revives the idea of the
possibility of harnessing rivers which have
rapid currents. Ingenuity in utilizing the
water power of this country and turning it
into electricity may yet make the people
independent of coal combines.
Chicago Times-Herald: The successful
elimination of this, the most daring
scientific adventure of the decade, is an
augury of greater conquests in the field of
electrical experimentation. The possibilities
of practical achievement in the utilization
OF hydraulic and electrical energy are now
beyond the calculations of the most
enthusiastic scientists.
Boston Globe: Perhaps man, after all,
has only just begun to make nature work
for him. Most of the tremendous forces of
nature are now allowed to run to waste, as
far as their application to the work CT the
world is concerned. Niagara is rightly con-
sldered a gigantic natural force. But
Niagara does not cause any rise in the level
of the sea when finally the waters are poured
into the ocean. The ocean has tremendous
power, beside which the force of Niagara
is nothing and this power may sometime be
utilized to do the drudgery of man. When
we shall learn to harness the tides who
shall measure the extent of the force at our
command?

livery district and the vote must be
taken in open meeting held for that
purpose. In order to prevent political
deadlock between the postmaster gen.
eral and the voting patrons of the of.
flee for which the election is held, the
bill provides further that 1t shall be
unlawful for the postmaster general to
refuse to appoint the person elected by
the patrons of the office, IL the refusal
be based merely on political grounds or
for party reasons.
1t Is not at all probable that this
measure will ever become law. 1t pro-
poses to overthrow a long-established
system of appointments which the poll
ticians will not desire to see abandoned.
1t would take from the executive GER
tain amount of patronage which is re-
garded as valuable to the party and it
would result in giving many postofiices
to men not in political afiiliation with
the party in power. These are not all
the objections to 1t, but they are un-
doubtedly sufficient to prevent the en-
actment of such n measure. There are
some things to be said in behalf of the
plan, but these are not so forceful as to
overcome the objections. But If men,
bers of congress desire to avoid the re-
sponsibility of recommending appoint
ments themselves there is no reasonable
objection to their allowing the patrons
of postoflices to express their preference
among applicants, since such an express
sion would have no binding force upon
the appointing power. 1t is conceivable.
indeed, that it might be helpful both to
the president and the postmaster gem
eral, in relieving them in many cases
from the opportunities of rival appli-
cants and their friends.
The result of the plan of the Indiana
republican congressman elect will be re-
garded with great deal of interest
and meanwhile the question of extend
ing civil service rules to postmasters is
likely to receive some attention. 1t is
presumed that the next administration
VIII observe the custom that has OBJ
talned of allowing postmasters to con-
tinue In service until the expiration of
the terms for which they were ap-
pointed, in which case President Nc
kinley and his postmaster general will
not be very seriously troubled at the
outset by applicants for postofiices.

CRIME -iSD DRINK.

The annual report of the Massachu-
1919, just issued, contains some striking
facts showing the relation of the liOuor
traffic to pauperism, crime and insan-
ity, which will arrest popular atten-
ton not only in that state, but gener-
ally, for it must be assumed that what
is true of Massachusetts is equally
true elsewhere.
Personal interviews with respect to
81, 73S cases of pauperism, crime and
insanity disclosed that 60 per cent of
the paupers in the state institutions
We're or had been addicted to the use
of liquor and 80 per cent of them at
tributed their pauperism to their intem-
perate habits. OF the convictions for
crime during the year, numbering %
GT2, over 6S per cent We're for drunken
ness or for drunkenness in connection
with other crimes, while little more
than 81 per cent were for other
crimes only. 1t was found that
81 per cent of these criminals We're
addicted to the use of liquor, though
only a small proportion of them We're
excessive drinkers Most of those
classed as total abstainers We're minors,
so that practically the whole adult Grim
inal class is a liquor-drinliing class. OF
the insane, numbering 1896 81 per cent
had been addicted to liquor, the excess
i've drinkers numbering about one
sixth of the whole. Intemperance led
to the insanity of 21 per cent of all.
The report states that the most pro
ductive age for crimes was between
20 and 30 years for both sexes. Drunk
enness does not prevail over other Of
fenses till after the age of 20, but it
keeps ahead after that till after so. In
pauperism the foreign born element
largely predominates, but the report
shows that native born criminals out
number the aliens and naturalizcd citi-
zens together in both sexes. 1t is an
interesting fact, in its bearing upon
the question of heredity, that the Grim
inals' parents who drank in some form,
were found to be 15,4I0. In very few
cases, however, could insanity be traced
to the intempcrance of parents, but in
cases where the facts as to grand
parents could be learned the insanity
in more than half of them was at
tributed to the intemperance of such
ancestors. Excluding the convictions
for drunkenness. it appears that crime,
as commonly defined, has not been in
creasing in Massachusetts, though
has.
The facts presented in the report of
the Bureau of Statistics, evidently the
result of most thorough and
intelligent investigation, are of
universal interest. They consti-
tute most valuable contribution
to knowledge already acquired regard
ing the relation of the liquor traffic to
crime and pauperism, ana will be ac-
cepted as of the highest authority. |
With such evidence of increasing drunk
enness in state like Massachusetts |
may it not be reasonably assumed that |
this vice or crime is growing generally?

ARROGANT MILITARTSM.

The popular resentment in Germany
against the arrogance of the military
class is likely to be intensified by the
latest utterance of the emperor, who
advised officers of the army TO do their
drinking in their own mess rooms and
not TO venture into public places at the
risk of rows when they were tipsy,
but If they We're attacked they should
not hesitate to use their arms" The
disposition of Germanys "war lord" to
uphold the extreme doctrine of mill
tarism was illustrated in another re-
mark he recently made, that "whoever
insults the kings coat insults the king
himself" Acting upon this doctrine a
lieutenant in the army against whom
civilian accidentally stumbled when
entering cafe promptly ran his sword
through the body of the offender, kill
Ing him on the spot. There was no
intention TO insult the officer and an
apology was proffered, but the "klng's
coat" had been insulted and the penalty

RETURN OF GOOD TIMES.
Clearly Forcshndowcd by Rcopcncd
Mills and Factories.
New York World


Within the last week no less than 914
important manufacturing establishments
which had been shut down were reopened
while 255 others added to their force OF
employees, increasing the hours of running
time or otherwise added to their output
and their pay rolls.
This improvement has been shared by
every kind of industry. The published lists
of reopened establishments include manu-
factories of iron and steel. machinery,
woodenware, lumber, glass, pottery, woollen
fabrics, cotton goods, clothing, carpets
boots and shoes, cordage and some scores of
less important products.
This means work and wages for hundreds
of thousands of persons who were idle. 1t
means larger consuming power and a bet
ter market for every kind of commodity.
1t means new access of prosperity for the
entire country and for all the people. 1t
utterly contradicts the free silver contention
that we must debase our dollars in order to
revive industry

Chicago is about to inaugurate a sys
TEN of civil service reform in its publi,
schools. The initial steps in this di
rection have been taken by the Board
OF Education by placing upon the civil
service list the names of over 600 ON
ployes that are now carried on its pay
roll. These employees will hereafter be
protected from discharge eXcept on the
substantiation of formally preferred
charges, and hereafter when vacancies
occur they can only be filed under civil
service regulations. This is new de.
parture which the Omaha school board
should emulate ut the earliest possible
moment Our public school system
should be divorced from politics. Com
potency, efficiency and fidelity in the
discharge of duty should be the
sole passport to employment by the
school board. Competent employees
should be secure in their positions dur
ing good behavior and all promotions
should be made upon merit and length
of service alone. Such is the demand
of the hour in all departments of the
public service, but more especially i'll
the public school system.
