WHEEL GETS INTO POLICE COURT.
Judge Gordon Decides the Ownership
OF HIcNcIp.

The ownership of a bicycle caused good
deal OF excitement in Judge Gordons court
yesterday afternoon. A short time ago one
Gus Smith purchased new wheel from Ed
Hayden. He paid the installments upon it
until the nickel plating began to wear OF,
and then sold It to a secondhand dealer
named R. Rosenberg. Here Hayden found
the wheel and took forcible possession. Hay
den is then aaid TO have sold the wheel to
VI. Rosenblatt. Rosenberg then made de-
mand for the wheel upon Rcseublatt. The
wheel then got into the court and yesterday
the matter was brought 10 trial.
The machine was accordingly brought into
the court room when the case was called
and Judge Gordon proceeded to call the wit
aeSses. He had not proceeded very far
when Constable Dorsey B. Houck appeared
with a writ of replevin from Justice Cock
erell's court for the machine. The writ was
issued at the instance of Rosenb blatt
Constable Houck attempted to take the
wheel without first consulting the police
Judge going upon the presumption that his
writ was good anywhere. This Judge Cor
don denied and when the constable placed
hands on the machine he ordered to
desist until the case had been placed on
trial. war of words ensued which re-
suited in favor of the police judge. At the
conclusion of the case the wheel was turned
over TO RCSenbiatt.

The Price of Cotton.

Inere mas never been q time,
since modern business methods"
began the spoliation of the pro-
ductive forces of mankind, when
there was fall in the prices of
agricultural products, when the
! results of the toll of the farmer
had sunk in value below the cost
expended in them, that the farmer
was not held solely responsible
for it.
It was he who violated the law
of Supply" it was he who was
thriftless and shiftless, and yet
produced too much with all his
slouching laziness, for the "de-
mand." He did not "live at
home" He bought his "hog and
hominy" instead of raising" them
"on the farm" He did not econo-
mize, and 80 on down to the very
2 of responsibility for all the Gala
mites which, not only beat him
down, but those also which over
whelmed ell business.
Cotton to-day is netting the far
mer A cents the pound at the
country sales-point A 500 pound
bale is worth to him but $21.25,
and from this he must substract
IS for its ginning and $l.25 for
the bsgging and ties. His cost
for picking is 81, and this leaves
him but a pitiful $11 TO cover his
expenses in producing the 500
pounds, from the hour he turned
the first furrow until he cleaned
out the caterpillars."
And yet he is told all along he
has no one to blame but himself.
Now he is told by q morning con-
temporary, that embargoes, grow
ing out of the numerous quaran-
tines, is responsible for some of
his ills. True, this curtails a
supply" but then the law of sup
ply does not work for him in this
instance, for he is ''kept in con-
slant state of excitement, not
knowing when he would get his
cotton to market, not knowing the
size of the crop or the demands of
the world. He has been cut off
from market by the guarantees
and the bottling up of the rail-
roads; and he has been shut of
from the news by the suspension
of the mails and the quarantine
against the newspapers. What
wonder, then, with the panics
around him, and shut out from
the rest of the world he should
take a pessimistic view of the 81
tuation and be ready to take q
smaller price for his cotton then
he believed it was worth"
Now he is in prey to all these
things, and you see he is to blame
for it. If he had permitted yellow
fever to spread, he could have had
the news and, while he suffered
from "xpurts and sich," he could
have at least read in the columns
of this ponderous adviser, that
cotton was worth no more than his
own "pessimistic view of the stu
alton" had fixed it at.
And this is the slops paraded as
excuses for ring of cotton gam
blers who prey upon the tillers of
the soil, and then abuse them with
the charge that they alone are re-
sponsible for all their ills. Well,
perhaps they are. They have it
in their power to change all this,
hut 40 long as they remain mac
