NEW Y0RNS BIG CROP or COTTON

OF actual cotton, according to the
statistics of the cotton exchange, New
York city handled last year 1856, 567
bales. This really seems very small
number for the American metropolis
to handle.
But the dearth of actual cotton, say S
the Atlanta Constitution, is accounted
for by some additional figures given
out by the exchange. These addition
al figures show that no actual cotton
whatever is necessary in the "busi-
ness" that is carried on in the name Of
cotton IN the great American metrOp-
oils.
Nearly 100000 bales of imaginary
cotton were bought and sold in the eX.
change. The actual crop that the
farmers raised last year had to COM
pete in the markets with an imaginary
crop five times as large as the actual
crop. And yet there are some who in
sist there is no OverprOductlOn. While
the spectators who do the work in the
cotton fields were producing their pal
try crop the farmers on the floor of
the New York cotton exchange made a
crop of 45,000,000 bales-enOugh to
stock four such worlds as the one we
live on.
The figures of the cotton exchange
also tell another story. They show
that the cotton growers are not up to
snuff. They work and toll and sweat TO
produce their patty crop of few mil
lion bales each year and then complain
because it fails to bring remunerative
prices. But the farmers on the floor Of
the cotton exchange, without putting
their hands to hoe or pillow, manage by
shrewd thrift and eastern industry to
raise five times as much Gotten as the
growers of the south.
The beauty about this is that it
doesn't have to be planted, picked or
ginned. No bagging or ties are neces-
sary. 1t doesn't have to be hauled Ov-
er the roads and railways. 1t doesn't
have to be stored and insured. And,
most marvellous of all, though it exists
only in the Imagination of few wide
eyed spectators, it fetches as much or
even more than the real cotton, and
prevents the southern farmers from
being pulled up with the pride that
would grow out of higher prices and
prosperity,
The figures given out by the ex-
change afford food for reflection. We
advise our farmers to ponder over
them. In the grea5 city of New York
not a half million bales of actual cotton
were handled last year. But there
were bought and sold 45,000,000 bales
that had no existence, save on paper.
This is called "business," and when
this sort Of business is particularly
lively great wonder is express ed by
those who are engaged in it that the
people are not prosperous.
Our opinion is that there is a great
oYerproductin Of imaginary cotton.

The state of Pennsylvania, winch
gave majority of 300 900 for the re-
publicans In the last presidential elcc-
ton, is beginning to lose confidence iD
the promised wave Of republican pros
perity, and with good reason 4 spe-
cial committee of the state legislature
has just reported that within the limits
OF the state there are now 10000 pau
pers, costing the government some
thing like $l,5O0,OOO annually. These
are surprising figures but coming from
the Legislative committee they are
doubtless correct.

CONGRESSMAN STOKES of South Caro-
lima has introduced bill in the house
of representatives to reduce the sala-
ries of all government officials and
pensioners 80 per cent. in order to con-
form to the present gold standard.
The proposed cut will begin with the
salary of the president and will come
down to janitors of public buildings
Mr.. Stokes will be laughed at by a
majority of the congressman, but all
the same his bill is not only timely
but on the right line, thinks the AL
bany Herald. In private business all
salaries and values have to be reduced
in order to be adjusted to the changed
conditions. Why should it not be the
same with government salaries?

HOW TO FIND OUT,

Fill a bottle or common water glass
with urine and let it stand twenty-fOur
hours; sediment or settling indicates a
diseased condition of the kidneys. When
urine stains linen it is positive evidence
of kidney trouble. Too frequent desire
to urinate or pain in the back is also
convincing proof that the kidneys and
bladder are out of order. 81
WHAT TO DO.
There is comfort in the knowledge so
often expressed that DIR. Gilmer's Swamp
Root, the great liver remedy fultills ev-
cry wish in relieving pain in the back,
kidneys, liver, bladder and every part of
the urinary passages. 1t cOrrects inabil-
itv to hold urine and scalding pain in
passing it, or bad effects following the
use of liquor, wine or beer, and over
comes that unpleasant necessity of being
compelled to get up many times during
thenight to urinate. The mild and the
extraordinary effect of Swamp Root is
soon realized. 1t stands the highest for
its wonderful cures of the most distress
ing cases. If you need medicine you
should have the best. Sold By drug

The terrible experience of Mike Maloney, a
Cincinnati Southern freight brakeman, at
High Bridge, was not exaggerated by first
accounts, relates the Danville (Ky) Advocate
Maloney was running or standing upon the
top OF a freight car as the train was crossing
the bridge. When about midway OF the
structure his foot Slipped, and he shot over
the edge of The car and started on his Jour
ney OF 2S6 feet to the river or rocks below.
Persons who witnessed the accident say that
Maloney grabbed wildly in all directions, but
could secure no hold upon the roof OF the
car. As luck would have 1t, however, he
fell to the side along which the telegraph
wires run, and, just as his body was about
to clear the bridge, he grabbed a telegraph
wire witt, a deathlike grip and hung there
This saved him from a terrible death. A
number OF persons FASTENED to hrs assist
ance and found him too weak TO DO any
thing for himself. He was deadly pale and
big drops OF sweat stood out all over his
face. He tainted after being removed from
his perilous position, and it was some time
after he reached his home at Georgetown
until he began to recover from the shock
upon his nervous system, 1t was one OF the
closest calls any man ever had. Maloney
