Four Cent Cotton.

Four Cent Cotton.
A few years back the editor met
u prominent North Louisiana gen.
tlemen in lis own city and asked
him how lie was getting along. The
response came that he was endeavor-
ing to adjust himself tn four.crnt
cotton, and found great difficulty in
doing so. Tho several years of
higher prices that have prevailed
since have led many persons to be.
lieve that cotton ut four cents in tho
country, while possible, like an in.
vasion OF the plague of yellow fever,
was not to he expected in the ordi.
nary course OF things, and that
the assumption of such low prices
for our great staple, should not he
made in considering our financia:
condition. The return again to low
prices this present, season, now
seems to bo awakening our planters
and farmers to tho fact that there
is no limit to the lowness of prices
for any great crop, excepting the
capacity of the producers to pro.
dnce it at a less and less cost. The
doctrine of tho survival of tho fit.
test prevails in matters agricultural
rs we'll rs in other directions, and
there would seem to I've no limit to
tho lowness of prices to which cot.
ton Or any other great staple may
he forced, excepting the resulting
Discrimination of the planters and
farmers 10 continue in it's culture
when it becomes Improbable to
them and in diminution in the crop
that would thus result.
Constant efforts may he made to
induce our planters TO diminish
their acreage, but this cannot he
made effective, as no voluntary dim.
mutton in acreage is likely to occur
if cotton should remain tho most
profitable crop for the southern
tiller of the soil. Whom, however,
he finds that bis cotton crop puts
him in debt and that general farm.
ing would leave him a surplus of
money at the end of the year, he
will then quickly adopt general
farming. Necessity seems to be
tile only real motive powerin bring.
ing about these great industrial
changes. Forty years ago tho
writer asked friend then engaged
in refining coal oil, which was sell.
ing at So cents per gallon, if it were
not likely that the price of coal oil
would diminish greatly. The an.
swer was that it was impossible ;
that the whole world would want
coal oil and that high prices and
profitable results in the industry
were absolutely certain. In these
later days, when We find coal OIL
selling at 8 too cents We can see
the results of an immense supply.
Low prices arc sure to come when
tue supply exceeds the current de.
maud. Low prices generally develop
an increased demand from new di.
rections. While 3 cent cotton
would now seem impossible, the re
currence of low prices again this
year would certainly Indicate that
the prices Of cotton will continue
to decline until some balance shall
bestrucka at which point the planters
will discontinue raising cotton aud
turn their attention to other crops.

= HAZLETON, Pa, Sept. 26.-Nothing

ence will be held tomorrow to decide
on the withdrawal of other troops. The
failure of the coroner's jury to arrive
at a verdict is variously commented
upon. Another meeting Of the jury is
to be held tomorrow evening, when it
is expected a verdict will be rendered.
A meeting of miners was held at Free
land today, at which several prominent
labor leaders, including General Or
ganizer Fahey, of the United Mine
Workers, were present. The meeting
was held behind closed doors, and
nothing was given out. 1t is known.
however, that the miners are being
more thoroughly organized, so that i'll

to fight the duel, and at the same time
rendering his resignation. In reply he
received not only permission to fight,
but also the imperial approval. Count
Badeni then made his WILL for which
he spent the evening at the Jockey
club and a pleasure resort. His wife
and family knew nothing about the
affair until the duel was over.
"The combatants met at the military
riding school. Count BadenIS seconds
were Marshal Count 'Uexkull- Gyllen-
band, commanding the Vienna garrI-
son, and Col. Rosch, former adjutant
of the emperor. DR.. VOLTS seconds
were two German deputies. The con-
ditions of the duel were three shots at
twenty-five PAGES. At the first dis
charge the premier's ball struck the
ground fifteen PAGES from his antago-
mist The latters ball struck Count
Badeni in the right arm. He staggered
back to his chair and was then taken
home, where the bullet was extracted.
There are no symptoms of fever
and Count Badeni is conducting affairs
as usual 1t is thought that, as the
premier has set the example with the
emperor's approval, there will be Sc
rious epidemic of dueling. The Arbei-
ter Zeitung points out that Count Ba-
deni is liable to imprisonment for from
one to five years.

NEW ORLEANS, La, Sept. 26.-To-
day was the quietest of the week in
New Orleans, and the fever situation,
in spite of the appearance of a large
number of cases, may be said to have
shown much Improvement Fifteen
cases were recorded on the books of
the board of health, but there was no
death. and there have been no deaths
since Friday. The. authorities received
reports during the evening from nearly
every patient that is now under treat
The Saint Paul globe., 1897-09-27

in readiness for me next year, so that
within twenty-four hours after my az
rival there I shall be ready to embrace
the first opportunity to push on to-
wards the point I wish to reach. Then
the second event of importance is the
bringing of the meteorite to this coun-
try The statements appearing in the
paper that we had discovered some
gruesome things about the hut Of the
Greely expedition is all nonsense. We
found no grave yard belongings. We
found conditions such that we could
reach the place where the Greely ex-
pedition had made their camp, and, al
though it was Aug. %, we found things
inside the hut covered several feet with
snow. Our party began to dig around
and picked up several buttons and a
piece of wood marked Norman the
name of one of the Greely party-and
several other things. These are all the
gruesome finds we made.
'The Hope will remain in Boston un-
til Tuesday, when we will make for

ment, and these were all to the effect
that the cases are doing we'll, and that
no patient is in any immediate dan
ger of dissolution. Some forty cases
were reported tonight as being rapidly
on the mend, and a number of them
will be discharged during the week.
One of the most dangerous cases that
have appeared was discharged today.
1t was that in the district in the
neighborhood of the French market,
where the conditions were considered
to be such as to warrant fear that
the disease would spread.
Unusual precautions, however, were
taken by the authorities to quarantine
the case and improve the sanitary con-
ditions of the neighborhood, and the
fever in that vicinity seems to have
been stamped out completely. At the
Oakland park detention camp, all the
refugees who have been given quar-
ters were declared to be well, no sick
ness having yet appeared in the camp.

MADRID, Sept 26.-The arrival of
San Sebastian has made sensation.
The programme of the United States
has been ascertained. This does not
contemplate a declaration of war if
Spain rejects mediation, but, according
to report, an "ostentatious" proclama-
ton to the world of disapproval of the
Cuban regime by suSpending diplo-
matte relations with Spain and with
drawing the United States minister.
Gen. Woodford has declined to be in
terviewed on the subject further than
to say that his conference with the
Duke of Tetuan, the foreign minister,
was of the most satisfactory character.
The unexpected bitterness of the press
and of public opinion has painfully
impressed him, but he hopes this will
soon be allayed, as he believes his mis-
sion favorable to Spanish interests and
cannot comprehend that Spain could
reject mediation designed to end an
impoverishing war. He has not nam
ed a time at which the war must be
terminated, but he hopes, as the re-
suit Of his tender, that it will be eno-
ed quickly. He believes the war is in
f1icting incalculable loss upon the Unit
ed States, and that it is impossible to
prevent the organization of filibuster-
ing expeditions.
Unusual measures We're taken to pro-
tect Minister Woodford on his journey
from San Sebastian to this city, but
the trip was quite uneventful. A party
of gendarmes, commanded by a sub
lieutenant, guarded the Southern ex-
press on which he was passenger.
