COTTON OUTLOOK.
Crop Of 100000 Bales Almost
Certain.
EDITOR HERALD.

New York, Wednesday Morn
ing, October 10. 1s96.-The Sc
we're pressure for immediate
delivery upon contracts in New
York appears to have met with
a check, probably caused by
the near arrival at the Southern
Ports of many steamers and
the consequent increase in the
freight room offering for Europe.
1t is also possible that
the sharp decline has placed
this market on a lower
parity with the primary mar
kets but it is evident that the
pressure has been checked
With these offerings removed,
a sharp rally has followed not.
withstanding the large crop
estimate of Mr.. Neill, stating
that the yield this season would
closely approximate 100000
bales.
The October statement OF the
Agricultural Department was
neutralized by this estimate
though it was so extreme in it
conclusions as 10 receive com
paratively little credence amoni
traders, who believe the cro]
to have improved during tn
month OF September rather thaI
to have deteriorated in coDdi
ton. 1t is apparent however
that the important factor i
determining the future cours
of prices will be the out com
of the Presidential election, q
until the uncertainty arisIn
from the possible re adjustmer
Of all business is settled, n
prudent merchant will engag
in new enterprises Of any cha
acter. THIS uncertainty ha
prevailed for the past mont
but becomes more intense 6
the day for the final decisio
approaches.
After considering the estiu
ates of Mr.. Neiil and Il
Bureau report, we. SEE no re
son for changing our belief in
crop Of 100000 bales and
the reports OF injury to Il
Russian, Asian aud Indi;

BILL MCDONALD.
His Reasons for Refusing to
Fuse-Will Support Gull
berson.

Galveston, Texas, OCTOBER 10.
William Mcdonald of Forney
was here last evening on pol
itical mission and was IN con
ference with local political
leaders and explained why he
pulled of from the leaders at
Dallas who proposed fusion.
To a report Mcdonald said:
81 am against fusion, and /
have always been. am for the
National republican ticket from
the 60 to the finish, but can
not support Mr.. Jerome Kearby
for governor. ] am for Charles
Culberson. / can not see any |
reason why 100000 republicans
Of this State should vote for the
populists when they, the pop
ulisis, say openly that they are
not going to vote for the Nc
Kinley electors.
"Since the negro republicans
Of the State have been put in
the rear. since our defeat at the
Forth Worth convention, If this
State goes for Kearby, that
crowd at Dallas will then say
to the big bosses, we told you SO
that as soon as we got con-
troll of the party machine in
Texas we could do SUCH"
"Of course, hope that such
will not be the case when the
votes or this State are counted,
for the reason that il this fusion
fails it will prove TO those big
and distinguished men OF. the
North that the vote OF the ne
groes az republicans of this
, State must be considered with
more care and study. When
two years hence We can say
that they can not do these
things unless we are paid some
) attention and the cause will pm
J us in a position that belongs tc
u.s."
"Aie you going 10 take th'

Wanted to Try the GaIlows.

The English papers are full of stories
of the late shah of Persia, some Of which
are probably true. When he was Wis
iting England he frequently expressed
his contempt for the mildness Of Eng
lish law. So he was finally taken to
Newgate in order that he might see the
gallows. He at once manifested great
interest in it, and, expressing desire to
zee how it worked, asked the governor
to hang a man. The governor ex-
planned that he had not at that time a
man ready for the experiment. where
upon the shah expressed his contempt.
But he intimated that that was Of no
consequence. Hang one of these" said
he, pointing to his suite, each man Of
which probably trembled in his shoes.
And very great indeed was the shah's
disgust when he found that he could
not prevail upon the governor 70 do
whit he wanted

Petty Spite.

Petty Spite.
The keynote to the character of the
man is found in this anecdote of Gen.
Robert Z. Lee.
Early in the war, before he had proved
his prominence as a general, he was
severely criticised on more than one oc-
casion by a certain Gen. Whiting.
Whiting had stood at the head of his
class at West Point, and was considered
a bright and capable man. One day
President Davis, wishing an officer for
some important command, called upon
Gen. Lee for advice.
What do you think of Whiting?'
asked Davis.
Lee answered without hesitation, COM
mending Whiting as one of the ablest
men in the army, well qualified in every
way for even the most responsible place.
One of the officers present was greatly
surprised, and at the first opportunity
drew Lee aside.
Don't you know what unkind things
Whiting has been saying about your"
he inquired.
Lees answer was of the best.

president desired to know my opinion of
Whiting, not Writings opinion of me-"

FEATHERED PARSON.
An Antipodean Bird Who Probably Is the
Best Talker of His Kind.

Some time since friend of mine,
having occasion to purchase a small
article, entered a little thread and
needle shop in the enyirons of the city
of New Orleans, but found no one In
the place, writes j. Carter Beard in
the Philadelphia Bulletin. AS he
turned about to leave hoarse voice
called out:
"Wait moment, ma'am. Take d
chair"
Looking around her in some surprise
at not seeing any source from which
she could suspect the voice to proceed
or any possibility of accepting the in
vitation so cordially extended to her,
she replied:
'I'll wait, but 1 see no chair"
Betty! Betty come quick! come
quick! come quick! Some one here.
Take chair" called out the voice loud
ly.
in the little shop but herself, my friend
fastened to the door, when she hap
pened to catch sight of bird cage just
inside it, containing a strange looking
black bird, with two white bands, that
reminded her of those worn by English
clergymen, extending downward from
its throat. At the same moment q
woman appeared at the half-opened
door leading to the rear of the shop.
"Tas tina burd be talllen, num-" said
she, with a strong North-of-England
accent. "Tas a parson, mum; them do
go on wors'n parrots"
On inquiry, the talker proved to be
what naturaIists call Prostehmadera,
which had been brought by the shop
keeper all the way from New Zealand
(where she had formerly resided), of
which the bird is native.
It's popularna "parson bird, given
it by the early colonists of New Zea-
land in allusion to the peculiar tufts
of long white feathers that hang down
from the throat as if to set off its glossy
black plumage, and which resemble
clerical bands, certainly seems appro-
pirate. Perched on a stump, as an ex
temporized talker, it gives vent to a jar
gon of sounds, displaying its bands and
gesticulating in a manner that irresist-
IDLY reminds one of the declamatory
style of preaching. A gentleman de-
scribing the bird says:
"He shakes his head, bending to one
side, then to another, as if he made his

Chamber with a whole skin. He pre-
sented d sorry Figure. When Turpie had
thus disposed of Lodge and Sherman
lie dwelt with remarkable clearness
upon the facts which, in his opinion,
entitled the Clbans to the rights of bel
Iiperents. This demonstration of what
might have been brought out had the
limoges paid some attention to what
the wiser ones think, we're the real
points at issue, and less to unworthy
attempts to put public sentiment
against Spain upon false basis, show
cd clearly how much Cuba has suffered
from those who have so loudly beer
protesting to be her friends.
Any outlook from this view point
upon the various aspirants for the
Presidential nomination discloses clear
indications of continued rise in Nc
Rinley stock, ard comparative dimi-
mutton in other blooms, including Reeds
tender nursing. But this is said with
the following reserve: Watch out for
Mr.. BENJAMIN Harrison and his bride,
Any boom started by newly married
woman is not to be judged of by the
usual laws OF boolns. The erstwhile
mighty man from Maine Is no longer
dreaded in the House-the last proof
Of that is furnished by the fashion in
which the River and Harbor bill, carry
inc the enormous amount OF $62,000,-
600, was rushed through the House in
forty minutes on Monday. Before that
record, the protestation OF economy 50
studiously reiterated by the Gar sink
into the category of mere bluffs. Or,
rather, to be more precise, it may prove
how completely the rank and file Of the
Republican majority in the House have
c7awled out from under the Speakers
grasp, and asserted some independence.
Besides the entertainment TO be de-
rived by the Democrats from this
spectacle, there is furthermore the pos
tive assurance that the nomination Of
Mckinley, by thrusting into the poiit-
ical foreground the issue of high tariff
duties for the reciprocal benefit of the
fat-fryers and the favored manufactu-
rera, will offer to the Democrats the
golden opportunity Of burying all their
fratricidal grievances, and uniting sol
idly against the common foe. Therein
lies one hope of Democratic success in
the fall That fact has already been
recognized by many astute politicians,
and therein may be the explanation of
the attitude which has been adopted
by many Democratic journals, an at
tftude which, this ''tip" lacking, has
puzzled many interested observers.
