A BIG COTTON SALE.
The Last of ths Season-Two Thous-
 and Bales Bought in One Deal

The cotton firms of RagIand < Co. aad Speers < Go. on Saturday made the largestdeal in cotton that has taken place in Pine Bluff this season. The firms together pur- chased at one deal two thousand bales of cotton, and the cotton averaged ' cents per pound in price
 Tiliar & Co, of Fillar, owned l, 300 bales of the cotton and the remain ing 800 bales was sold by the Ham nett Grocery Co. for one of is GUS toners.
 This is perhaps the Iast deal in the "feecy that wlII De made in Pine Bluff this season, for with one ex- ception it closes out all cotton stored in tbis city.

SUBSCRIPTION PRICE:
ExPENsEs OF G0VERAN NENT.

 The public at large is interesting itself to a great extent in the ex- penses of government, and close inspection shows speculative phase, fraught with fruitful matter for reflection. Perhaps the most intelligible way of stating the ex- penses of the Government is to state them per capita. A great many criticisms have been Ieveled at the Cleveland administration on good and substantial ground, and while the expenses of running the administrative affair under Cleve- Hands direction were less than S450 per head, the source of supplies by other means was questionable. With the Mckinley administration this expense seems certain to be increas- ed, and from the advanced data so far obtained, forecast caa be made with a fair degree of acc"raey. This statement shows that the ex- pense will be close to $600 head. Mr Dingley estimates that it will take $73, eG0, ,Ao0 to meet the excess of appropriations, above those of twelve years under Hayes, Garfield, Arthur and Cleveland That the expenses Of the Government should increase year by year is natural result; new offices age being created, new postmasters being appointed, new secretaries selected for growing legations. and thus an increase was looked for, but not to such a great extent. It seems on it's face to be wanton and warranted This rapid increase per capita means, of course, a corresp bonding increase of the burdens for the consumers. For every dollar secured under the Dingley method of taxation, fifty cents will be derived from wool aud fifty cents from other articles. How much of this will go to the Govern ment and how much to private in terests and enterprises is question that directly concerns the public at present. Just what lien may rest upen every head in this land under Dingleyism will begin to be mani fest. It cannot possibly be less than $6. But if prosperity would only come with it, even this great outrage could be borne. The return of good times is what every one is looking fur. It will never be found under the rotten financial legisla. ticn now in existence. The bur den of debts will increase, the weight of public woe will be added too, ard thus will the power of op- pression grind on until the people as a body rise and demand immedi
 ate relief. Memphis Herald.

EDUCATIONAL BILLS:
Several Measures Affecting

fore theLegislature.
INCREASING TEACHERS SALARIES
Schedule Showing the Advance IN

During the past week there was intro
duced in the Legislature a number of bills
Affecting educational matters in this city.
The n which will prove of the most in
terest to the teachers and their friends
was introduced on Tuesday by Mr.. Nc
Arthur. The first section simply provides
for the tenure of office of the employees
of the Board of Education by providing
that nc employe of the Board shall be dis
missed fer political purposes, but for
cause only. Although the teacher and
other employees of the Board of Educa-
ton have always had a practical tenure
of Office and were only dismissed for
cause, some of the teachers thought that
their possession should be more legally
permanent. The second section deines
who shall be considered employees of the
board within the meaning of h act.
The superintendent, his assistant or as
sistants. the clerk of the board, or clerks,
the principals, vi-ce-principals, teachers,
assistant teachers, ~janitors or janitress,
or persons holding positions now or here
after to be designated are named as such
employees.
Section three fixes the minimum amount
of salaries to be paid the teacher under
the act. This is the schedule together
with h salaries now paid:-

The Hoboken Fire Department has given
up all hope Of ever finding the body of
little Mabel Mangels, the e~ight-year-old
daughter Of Henry e. Mangels, who was
lost in the fire at No. l57 Fourteenth
street last Saturday night. The walls of
the building are still standing and the
flremen are afraid that they Will fall at
any moment.
We've gone as far as we dare,'' said
Chief Applegate to EaasrNewss reporter
this morning. 1.-THE walks of the building
are in such a condition that we dare not
search any further. We have pumped the
water out of the cellars of the buildings
and worked our way through to the rear
but could not find the body. I have very
little hope that we. will ever find the
little girls remains. If she dropped from
the top floor 1t is probable that she was
entirely demolished by the flames. Mayor
Pagan visited the ruins yesterday and
/ took him through the building to satisfy
him that we had done all in our power TO
find the body.
MY opinion is that every particle OF the
girl has been destroyed. The burned walls
nave fallen away about four inches from
the adjoining buildings and are alkeiy 10

the search. There is only one part Of the

SEVENTIES COLONEL.
General sewell Orders an
Election for Colonel
Skirm's Successor on
February IS.
Special to the jersey C4tv Ne,cs.

TRENTON, Feb. 4, 1S97.-By command Of
General William J. Sewell, Assistant ADJ
jutant General Thomas s. Chambers Is
sued an order yesterday calling a meeting
Of the commissioned officers of the Sew
enth Regiment-for the election of a Colonel
to fill the caused by he esdgna-
tion of former Colonel William H. Skirm.
two months ago. The election will be held
at the Trenton House, on Thursday even-
ing, February Is, at $50 o'clock. Colonel
Chambers will preside.
The probably successor to the colonelcy
of the Seventh has caused no end of dis
cussion in military circles here, and there
has been considerable speculation as to
who will be elected. The successor to the
Colonel Charles Y. Bamford, who is now
in command OF the regiment, and VINO
commanded 1t at the Sea Girt encampment
last year, Colonel Skirm having been ex-
cuSed by request.
In some quarters there was opposition
shown to Colonel Bamford, and Major
A. ]. Buck, of Freehold, and Major A. F.
Stoll, of this city, were urged by their
senior officer Of the two, but Major Stoll
was favored by many on the ground that
the Colonel should be a man living in
Trenton, where the greatest number OF
(Ou1ARdlf1CS i lO(dlSos
There was also some talk of selecting
a colonel from outside of the regiment.
and Colonel Thomas s.. Chambers and
Major Frank o. Briggs were prominently
spoken of in this connection.
Unless some change occur in the sit
uation during the next two weeks it Is
more than likely that Colonel Bamford
will be elected, the general sentiment
among the officers at present being In
favor. Of him.
Should Colonel Bamford be chosen,
one of the majors will undoubtedly be
elected lieutenant colonel, and then the
question will arise as to which of the
captains will be selected as junior major.
The captains of the eight companies,
in order of seniority of their commits
sions, are as follows:-Captain Goodman,
Company G., Newton, 1888; Captain John
w. Adams. Company H, Beverly, 1890;
Captain W. f. Gale, Company F., Mount
Holly, 1891; Captain George Forman,
Company b, Trenton, 1892; Captain
Peter V~redenburgh, Company e, Free
hold. January. 1894; Captain Louis N.
Clayton, Company A, Trenton, July 2,
1894; Captain Bernard Rogers, Company
D, Trenton, July II, 1894; Captain Horace
M. Reading, Company G, Lambertville
March, 1895.
1t is expected that each company will
seek to have its own captain promoted,
as this would give a further chance; for
promotion of the officers of the company,
and it is quite likely that should a major
a. to be elected the system of seniority
would not be followed.
