city to pay the November salaries OF is en-
ployees and other current obligations:
'It was never intended whom tho charter was
framed that claims OF this kind should romain
unpaid BY Brooklyn and be paid By Greater New
York. What was intended was that our bonded
indebtedness and possibly tax certificates Of in.
debtedness should be assumed by tho greater
city. This failure to pay employees of the city

The trading in cotton to-day was quiet. Tho failure
Of Liverpool TO make an adequate response to the i'm.
provement here yesterday caused n slight decline
hore at the opening; but there was very little dispo-
sitfon to sell. and on a small demand for local &C.
count, Including some outside buying. prices rallied
and slowly advanced. Cold and stormy weather in
the Southwest also contributed to strengthen the
tone. Toward the close. however, prices weakened
on selling by local scalpers. and the last quotations
were practically unchanged from the opening. Dis.
auieting advices from Liverpool regarding the ques.
ton Of wages in Manchester had n depressing effect.

American sugar-producers, and pay
bonus OF S9,000,O0O year upon
Hawaiian sugar to the end that the
Government of the United States
may acquire title to 25,000 Japanese,
$4,000 Cinnamon, $1,000 Portuguese,
10000 Hawaiians, and 9,400 white
persons That the United States
will thereby become the owner Of
the sixty millionaires, we do not be-
lieve. On the contrary, it seems
much more likely, as things are
going, that the sixty millionaires in
a reasonable time will become the
owners of no inconsiderable part Of
the Government OF the United
States.-N. Y. Evening Post.
