COTTON ACREAGE.

Large Increase in All the States This
Year.
Taking the acreage, in comparison
with that of last year as basis of cal
culation, we may expect large cotton
crop in the southern states this year.
It appears from 1881 replies to queries
sent out by Latham, Alexander & Co.,
of New York, that there has been al, in.
crease of 2, 1877, 600 acres in the cotton
acreage of the United States over that of
last year. Thesincrease amounts to 143
per cent.
The incre ase in Georgia, Alabama and
South Carolina is put in as Is per cent.
The correspondents say the planting of
the crop was about one week earlier in
all the states except Florida and Texas.
in which states the planting was from
one to two weeks later than last year.

PICTURESQUE MR. MORTON.
THE AGRICULTURAL SECRETARY
GIVES UP THE FIGHT.
He Talks About the Situation in His own
Unique Manner. About Presidential
Candidates.

Secretary of Agriculture Morton has
been travelling through the west for five
weeks, fertilizins the gold sentiment
which had been planted out there by Mr..
Cleveland's administration. He went
out to survey the work of the Indian
agents and other appointees OF the inte-
rior department. He has just returned
full of what he saw and learned. He
did not find what he expected, but Nor
ton is a good natured soul and ho accept
ed what he found with good grace and
tells his opinion to all who ask him. He
is gold man above democracy, but he
is honest enough to express himself just
as he feels.
"The silver sentiment is universal all
over the west" continued the secretary,
and it is growing. SO many trimmers
think it is going to win that they are
Jumping that way. There is no hope of
electing gold candidates anywhere in the
west, anasright there in San Francisco,
where they have more than a hundred
millions of gold in the vaults of their
banks; where depositors are paid in gold
by specific contract, and where green
backs have never been good enough for
them, the peoule are crying for silver.
California is not silver producing coun-
try, and it is extraordinary that the peo-
pie of that state shsuld prefer silver
money to gold. But they do.

IN A CUBAN DUNGEON.
A MULTI-MILLIONAIRE SUBJECT.
ED TO CRUEL INDIGNITY
BY the Spanish. Political Prisoners
Thrown Into the Bay after Be.
ing Shot.
From the Chicago Tribune.


From the Chicago Tribune.
James Il. Scott, formerly of Pittsburg.
now millionaire plantation owner in
Cuba, is prisoner in the dungeon of
Cabanas fortress, behind the dread Moro
castle. Scott has, by brlbing guard.
managed to get a letter to his brother
John, of this city. John Scott left to-
night for Chicago, where another broth
er, broker, resides, and steps will be
taken for the freedom of the impr isoned
man, who still is citizen of the United
States.
Ten years ago James 81. Scott went to
Cuba. Now he is said to be worth SIS
coo, 900.
In October last he was arrested on one
of his plantations, charged with being an
insurgent sympathizer. Six months he
has been in prison, being unable to COM
municate with any friends. Several at
tempts to do so brought additional hard
ships on Mr. Scott, already immured in
a damp, narrow cell. This courtyard.
according to Scott's letter, has been a
continual scene of horror to him.
SCOTS guards were changed frequent
ly, and in the early part OF the month
he recognized man put to watch him
as an old servant of his, a man to whom
he had been kind. Scott talked to his
former servitor and succeeded in Undue
ing him to procure some paper and a
pencil. By giving the soldier an order
on his friends for $500 he got the man
to promise to see that the letter was got
out of the island without the knowl-
edge of the Spanish authorities. This
promise was kept, as the presence of the
letter here testifes.
After reoiting his arrest and confine-
ment, Scott says that the rattle of mus
kerry dealing death to political prison
oners in the courtyard is almost contin-
uous. Sometimes the day is not long
enough for the work of death and it is
carried on at night. From the window
of his cell Scott can see the executions,
and he mentions several particular
~ narrowing affairs. He says:
sit was the day before yesterday l

ed, They were both wealthy planters,
and recognized them as friends OF
mine. After being shot without their
eyes bandaged the body of each man

after placing few stitches in the open
end of each bag one man was carried
away at time and thrown into the bay,
where the dead bodies of all the unfort-
innate creatures are deposited.

CAPTAIN HAMMOND WRITES
And Discloses the LudicrOus Side of Judge
Rowers' unique" Position.

and O1sclOses the Lud1crOus SIDE OF Judge
Bowers Unique Position.
In the Thomasville Times-Enterprise
Hon. W. NJ. Hammond publishes a
lengthy article in reply to some of the
bigotry of the cambridge Democrat
The Democrat, in its efforts to clear the
waters in which Judge Bower has been
f1oundenng on the financial question,
made bad break in abiding to "that
element who have sought to bring out
Capt. Hammond as the exponent of
their Vows"
Capt. Hammond takes exceptions to
this extract from N editorial which APP
peared in the Democrat:
"Just now, however, with the politi-
cal conditions as they are-the party rlv-
en- with internal discussions, represented
upon the one hand by Mr.. Griggs, and
upon the other by that element who have
sought to bring out Captain Hammond
as the exponent of their views, neither of
which, as we see it, is for the best inter-
est of the country-the gentleman has
acted wisely and well" etc.
In style characteristic OF the man,
Capt. Hammond not only rips the editor
of the Democrat up the back, but takes
occasions to expose the ludicrous side oil
Judge Bowers unique" position on the
financial question.
Evidently shat element which Capt,
Hammond represents on the financial
question is not entirely satisfied with
Judge Bower as the candidate of "sound
money"

A RUSSIAN TRAGEDY.
A Most Reyolting Chapter of Destruction
and Death.

- 1890 ~ON~~~~
| and Death.
From the splendor of her recent fes-
tivities in honor of her young czar's cor
onation, Moscow has suddenly been con-
verted into "a house of mourning" and
the sequel of last weeks pomp and
pageantry is written in a most revolving
chapter of destruction and death.
Seldom has national feast been fol-
lowed by tragedy so deep In the
magniicence of her endeavor to surpass
all royal precedents, Russia expended no
less than $30,OO0,0OO, and yet to this
enormous sum has since been added the
loss of over 1000 lives.
For several years it has been the GUS
tom in Russia to conciliate the laboring
classes at the close IF each successive
coronation by holding g general fete
and distributing food, drink and souv-
Venirs. To this denoument the common
people of Russia had looked forward
with eager anticipation for weeks.
Last Saturday, on enc of the open
fields in the neighborhood of Moscow,
several Thousand people gathered to par
ticipate in this feast of the laboring
classes of Russia. AS the time arrived
for making the distribution, there was
a strong effort on the part of those in
the rear of the immense crowd to push
their way to the front. In the confu-
sion which was brought about by this i'm
patience several were trampled under
foot. AS soon as this discovery was
made panic followed in which the
destruction of life was even more ter.
rife than in the actual clash of battle.
On former occasions like this panics
have been averted only by the most skill.
full management on the part of those in
command. But it seems that in broad,
open field, under competent police super
vision, disaster such as the one which
accompanied the recent coronation fes-
tivities could bave been easily averted.
The hunger of these poor, oppressed
people, as indicated by the eager impa-
tience which brought on the disastrous
panic last week, shows the extent of pow
ertY to whieh the laboring classes have
been reduced in order to furnish forth
these royal occasions and satisfy the in
ordinate cravings of the car.
Perhaps this tragi, event will prove a
salutary lesson to the young car. Con-
fronted with such horrible disa ter at
the beginning of his reign, it is barely
possible that he may be induced to show
some degree of compassion for the COM
mon people.
Nothing would be lost to civilization
nor TO Russia should these barbaric
splen Tors be- discontinued altogether.
Such prodigal waste of money cannot
be justified in this advanced age on anv
possible pretext. Russia might do we'll
