Big Cotton Crop Assured.

New Orleans, Aug. 16.-H. NJ. Mcneil.
the well known cotton statistican, has
issued a circular on the growing crop.
After referring TO the correctness OF his
estimates made in July. 1894. of the
crop OF the season, Mr.. Mcneil says:
'At this moment for this year. the prom
Use is equal to any previous year in every
state but Texas, and on the present
acreage, even allowing that Texas should
fall short OF her maximum production per
acre by 100000 bales the, cotton outlook
is for a crop of at least 9,750, 900. with
100000 to 100000 within the range of
possibilities. This figure of $3.50, 900 Is
really very conservative. for a product
per acre outside OF Texas equal TO 1894
80 would give 7.350.000 bales. and max
imum for Texas would be 1850, 900 bales,
from which. allowing 100000 of. you
would have a crop of 100000 bales.
The crop Is now so far advanced from re-
cent rains and heat that II will reach ma
turlty and be independent OF frost at
an unusually early date. and should be
soon have good rains I'm Texas. her crop
also would be near perfection. and the
possibilities for the total crop would then
be something enormous"

Boston. Aug. 16.-Mrs. Charlotte Smith,
who has taken an active part In Women's
Rescue league work in this and other
cities. and In other works OF social re-
form. and whose recent agitation against
women riding bicycles has attracted
widespread attention. has announced her
opposition to bachelor politicians. She
explains that her protest against bach

taken 80 seriously and been 90 well en-
dorsed that she will continue her work
In that direction ~ means of continuing

In the form ofletters a. appended:
Boston. Aug i&
To the Chalrmen of the Republican and
Democratic City Committees:
Conference.-The Women's Rescue
league wishes earnestly TO protest
TO you and to the voters Of
this city against the denomination
Of Edwin u. Curtis and Josiah
Quincy for mayor of Boston. There are
many reasons why they should not be
selected as the standard bearers OF your
parties In the fall contest. which II to be
entered upon In a very short time. Both
Mr.. Curtis and Mr.. Quincy are bachelors.
and the Women's Rescue league holds
that no man can be a good, honorable
and upright citizen and hold q position
Of public trust. conferred upon him by
the honest citizens Of Boston. who has
not entered into the holy bonds Of we'd
lock.
Bachelors have always been failures
as chief magistrates and legislators In
this and every other country for the
reason that the morals Of city or coun-
try cannot be upheld except by one who
IL himself q benedict and fears all that
is morally wrong.
Both your candidates are bachelors
and bachelor politicians are narrow
minded, selfish. egotistical and cowardly
David B. Hill of New York, who posed
as the bachelor presidential candidate
II q typical illustration Of this class OF
men. He is Il. orally selfish.
Thereto e 1t Is about time TO organize
anti-bachelor clubs in this state. Il
should be the purpose of every yount
woman to look up the record Of every
man who Is looking for votes, and. should
his moral character be such that would
unfit him for office. then his shortcom-
ings should be the point Of attack by
the anti-bachelor women of Massachu-
setts. There are $1,000 girls between
the ages Of 20 and 20 years in this state
who cannot find husbands as there Is
that number less men.
AS to the bachelor politicians, they do
not dare discuss the social evil question.
We have too many temporarily married
politicians on the market.
In conclusion we hope that these two
aspirants shall not be given the nomi.
nations through your efforts. but yo-
should relegate them once more to
private life where they belong, there to
lose the name they glory in.
Respectfully,
Charlotte Smith.
President Women's Rescue League.

The First Victim.

Debs and the Pops can not claim a
patent on the war against govern
ment By injunction. It was John Y.
McCane. Of Brooklyn. who first dis
covered the iniquity of iniunctions
when he was engaged in the patriotic
business of stuffing the ballot-box for
a livelihood. Being Mayor of little
suburb, he informed the officers of the
law that ''iniunctions don't go here. :"
John is now languishing in the state
prison. the first conspicuous victim to
government by injunction. and the
Governor has cruelty refused to turn
him loose, although requested to do so
by the pastor of his church and the
Sunday-schoOl of which he was the
superintendent. 1t is another evidence
of the ungratefulness that pervades
a republic that no Pop convention has
ever passed any resolution of sympa-
thy for Mr.. McKane nor demanded
that he be set at liberty the minions of
judicial oppression.-Nebraska State
Journal.

The superabundance of the apple
crop last year has had one good re-
suit for the future of the orclardist.
1t rendered apples so cheap that the
consumption was greater than ever
before. y taste of this kind. once
stimulated. generally continues, con-
sequently the demand will be larger in
seasons to come thanithas been bither-
to. This year apples have been
in Philadelphia markets the whole
year through. Last years supply of
late varieties-such as the Baldwin,
had scarcely disappeared before the
Russian variety, Tetoffsky, came in
from Virginia. These, of course. will
be followed by better kinds. Few of
the Russian apples are of very high
quality, and the Tetoffsky, unless
carefully grown, is little better than
1irst-class crab. Still it is noted by
the market men that, being an apple
in name, at least, it sells well, being
so early.-Meehan' Monthly.
