After recounting the various
causes of low prices of cotton the
past season, Hugh f. MeElroy, of
New Orleans in a circular on the
situation, presents this comfortable
assurance:
There Will be no national cleo
ton for the next four years;
The currency question is no
longer menace;
Foreign capital is steadily re-
turning;
The treasury reserve is over
$3.50, 100000;
Business in ali lines, especially
cotton goods, is either already
prosperous or rapidly attaining
prosperity;
The surplus left out of last year
crop will bo the smallest for sever
years past;
There is prospect for late
crop, and pro liability of yield
little, If any, in excess Of this year.
The mill consumption promises
TO be the greatest ever known;
The richest land in the Missis
sippi valley are overfowed, and
the prospects are poor of their be.
ing able to plant anything like q
full crop this year;
A wet planting season over the
majority Of the belt, making an
early August movement, such as
occurred last season, absolutely
impossible;
Last of all, prices for the new
crop positions are sac. below the
value of spot cotton, and only
13-l6c. higher than when the coun-
try was overwhelmed by probably
the worst com binatlon Of disasters
ever seenin times of peace.

The Festival of Hope.

The Philadelphia Record in its
Easter Sunday issue, thus closed
an article on the subject of the
sacred festival which is so full OF
significance to the human race:
without q relief in immor-
tallity, inherent in polytheism and
monotheism, in pantheism and
idealism alike, human life is rob
bed of its true nobility, degraded
to a mere sensual animalism and
doomed to utter pessimism. I'm
happy the mortal who loses hope,
who embraces the philosophy OF
Schopenhauser and the religion OF
night and forgetfulness Dante
could devise no more sinister and
gloomy motto for the portal OF
hell than the warning; "All hope
abandon, We who enter here"
"Pessimism is truly Il disease;
disbelief in humanity is cloud on
emotion and intellect. Hope is
the normal, wholesome state Of
consciousness. No matter what
will.o'-thewisps the hope of hui
manlty may pursue in worldly Wis
ions; no matter what vain mirages
may be glimpsed as ianciful Wis
ions, there is only one virtue that
gives mankind true courage for
the graSe; and that is the hope of
a hereafter. There is only one
virtue that truly steels the human
heart by the hard battle of life
hope of better life to come.
Nor is good life any the less
sanity or noble because based on
the hope of such recompense, 1t
is only the ignoble thought that
spurns such inspiration. Life here
after is the shining goal that silver
lines the clouds of earthly life, And
as the evolutionist claims that man
to-day emaniclpated from the mere
fieshy existence of yesterday, is
living life of the BRAIN and of
brain evolution, why should not
mankind of tomorrow wear a
higher crown and enjoy the heaven
OF the spirit, free from sensual
alloy!
Before every grave, and not
alone before the tomb of the Cali
lean, the thought OF the world
must bow In hallowcd hope, and
the soul sock blest vision of the
Holy Grail. The lesson of Easter
shines clear on each recurring
dawn of this sacred MORN"

Ever mindful to the interest OF
the people, the Helena World is
calling attention TO the violations
of the fish laws, and urges enforce
ment of its penalties. 1t says:
"The punishment for the violation
of this law is fine of not less than
FIVE nor more than twenty-five dol
lars. The World has been advised
that no less than half ton of dy-
Mantle was sold at single village
in this county, last year, all of
which was used in killing fish.
The recent overflow will probably
leave our lakes, creeks and bayous
well stocked with game fish, and
unless the law is enforced the
greater part OF these will become
the prey of the dynamiter. We
are glad to see there is a disposi-
ton TO enforce the law, both with
respect to dynamiting and OBJ
structing streams with glll.nets,
than which no surer way is open
to depopulate our water courses.
We understand a movement is Oh
foot TO protect our streams and
lakes, and that the strictest watch
will be kept and sure punishment
dealt out to violators of the law.

the scene of the Greco-Turkish
war that lays all Spanish atrocities

children were ruthlessly murdered
aud many women jumped from

People everywhere complain OF
hard times. They always did, and
always will. Those who clear
$4,000 year complain because il
was not $4,000. Those who come
out of debt, with plenty to carry
on their work, pay taxes, and $50
over, also complain just like
every body else. In this life all n
man. gets is his living-his board
and clothes everything above this
is prosperity, and should be so
considered. Farmers as rule,
are doing better than others Men
in town will get $50 or 500 a
month, and this astonishes the man
of the pillow and hoe. But when
the town man buys his bread, meat,
potatoes, radishes, lettuce, turnips,
tomatoes, his milk. his butter, his
cheese, his chickens and eggs. and
pays his rents and taxes and in
surance, etc., if, at the end of the
year he comes out whole, he is
doing far better than the average.
And then, if he loses his Job, as
often occurs, the expenses continue
and in one month he is a pauper,
striving to keep up appearances.
The farmer who owns his home has
constant work, even if the pay is
small, and he never loses his job
until he "shuffies off this mortal
coil" The man in town working
for salary mover kn ows how long
it will be thus with him. Today
he may be happy as boy with u
pocket full of rocks tomorrow he
may be engaged in that most
thankless of all tasks, hunting u
job" Here is where the farmer
has a substantial advantage his
business is not speculation, there
fore he seldom names a trustee
his business is not rich in promises
| OF pelf, therefore if he makes both
ends m eet he suffers but little dis
appointment, and as TO his work
he is up end at it again. When he
goes TO town, or takes a day off,
he may exemplify his humanity
by grumbling because he works
hard and clips no coupons, while
others work not but gather earthly
treasure by the cart load. The
I farmer spends only half his time in
\ labor; it is during the other hall
that be has an advantage over the
man who acquires wealth rapidly
he sleeps we'll. A Dallas capital.
ISL recently told the writer that he
worked hard to accumulate a for
tune, but that he works harder 10
keep it, and don't sleep as well as
he did when he was clerk getting
S45 a month. There are worse
conditions than that of the farmer
and things are not always what
they seem from outward appear.

ROBBBRA AFTER TIE GAME.
DISASTROUS End of Donohue's arous
deer Verdict.

Frederick Ming and Richard Walsh of
Harrison were tried in the General SEES
sions Court yesterday afternoon and this
morning for highway robbery. On July
II Patrick Donohue, of No. 81 Reynolds
avenue, Harrison, had money to burn and
started out TO have a good time. In one
of the saloons at which he called he met
Ming, Walsh and another young man
named William Mcmahon.
Donohue had a friend with him and
they a several drinks. In a short time
the party all got together and the drinks
went around very freely, principally at
Donohue's expense. A game of cards was
suggested and Donohue. Ming, Walsh and
Mcmahon began to play. They played for
a quarter a corner. Donohue soon dis
covered that he was being cheated and re-
fused to play. After h cards came dice
and Donohue was lucky enough to win,
but he got only one drink,
Wash asked Donohue if he could wrestle
and Donohue replied, Sure l can" A
wrestling match was arranged and Dono-
hue started ava from the saloon escorted
by Ming, Walsh and Mcmahon. When
they reached a vacant lot. Ming ana
Walsh, according to the testimony of
Donohue and other witnesses. took Dono-
hue into the lot, knocked him down;
kicked him into insensibility and robbed
him of all the money ne had, about s..
The defendants ran away, leaving Dono-
hue unconscious and bleeding on the
ground. The defendants denied that they
had assaulted or robbed Donohue- The
Jury deliberated over the case for about
an hour and then found the defendants
guilty of assault and battery, How they
arrived at that conclusion is known only
to themselves.
