A Refuge for Cotton Planters.
From the Baltimore Sun Dem.).

1t is claimed that the new cylindrical
cotton bale will cheat MIR. Dingley. In all
the republican tariffs the southern cotton
planter has been oppressed and robbed by
duties on cotton ties and jute bagging used
in baling cotton. The wheat farmer gets
his binder Irvine free of duty, but the
southern planter is not so favored. The
ties and jute bagging used on the ordinary
bale weigh about twenty-five pounds. The
cylindrical bale, which is just coming into
use, is enclosed in cotton cloth weighing
not more than three pounds to the bale.
This kind OF bagglng not only escapes the
tariff, but its use creates a considerable
additional demand for cotton. The man
ufacture of the bagging will doubtless be
done in the southern mills. There is but
one apprehension in connection with the
cylindrical bale. 1t Is made by a patent
ed process, and the patent is owned by a
corporation. Some southern papers fear
that those who control the cotton market
may require this kind of baling, in which
event the owners of the patent would have
the planters of the south at their mercy,
Just as trust cornered their cotton seed.

An Important Election.

The approaching municipal election In
Greater New York is of interest to the
whole people for several reasons. One
reason is that New York is the second
largest city in the world. 1t has a pop
ulation of $500, 00O-60O, 900 more than the
whole country had when independence
was declared. Another reason is that if
the first municipal administration is good
successive administrations for MANY
years will be much better than they would
be If the first administration were bad.
Still another and greater reason is that
a thoroughly honest and efficient admin
istrauon in the metropolis would have a
very beneficent effect upon the admins
trations of all the other cities of the coun-
try. A corrupt administration in Great
err New York would have a more or less
demoralizing effect upon municipal gov
ernments in every state.
1t looks now as If a capable and thor
oughly honest man would be chosen may
or Mr.. Seth Low. the nominee of the
Citizens Union, has been mayor of
Brooklyn, and he fulfilled the expecta-
tons of his friends and admirers. He is
an excellent man for first mayor of Great
err New York.
Mr.. Henry George, the nominee of those
democrats who believe in indorsing the ma
tional democratic platform, although il
cuts no figure in a municipal contest. is
a man of ability and high character.
Gen. Tracy, the republican nominee, has
national reputation, having been Secretary
of the Navy. Judge Van wyck, Tam
many's candidate, holds an important ju-
dicial position, and is respected by all
classes of citizens.
No doubt each one of the candidates will
be attacked. There will be no lack of per-
sonalities, but it is doubtful If it will be
possible to show that any of the eandi-
dates is unworthy of the high office for
which he has been nominated. Greater
New York. therefore, is pretty certain to
have a first class man for mayor which
ever faction wins.

brighter Prospects for Cuba.

The outlook for peace in Cuba is bright
er-very much brighter. The liberal lead
er, Sagasta, who has been entrusted by
the queen regent with the task of form
ing a new cabinet. means that Spain's
policy in respect to Cuba will be changed.
Senior Sagasta has been openly opposed to
SPANS Cuban policy for more than
year, and it is firmly believed that he will
at once offer concessions to the Cuban in
surgents with the view of putting an end
to the war
He has of course hostile cortes to deal
with-the majority of the conservatives
being about one hundred-but 1t is stated
that the Spanish people are so tired of the
war that if an election We're held the lib
erals would be given control of the cortes.
The Spanish people understand that Spain
has not the financial strength TO carry on
the war much longer. and, besides, they
are opposed to sending any more of their
Young men to Cuba to die of the diseases
incident to the climate.
No one of course is in a position to speak
authoritatively of the kind of concessions
Senior Sagasta will probably offer. 1t is
worthy Of notice, however, that much has
been said lately of the proposition that the
Cubans shall pay Spain $20OOOO,OO0 for
their independence, the money to be rails
ed on bonds endorsed by the United
States. 1t is doubtful if this proposition
would nave the approval of Senior Sagasta,
for the reason that Spain is not yet in
mood to give up Cuba. Besides it is not
certain that the United 2tates would en-
dorse the bonds, although there is no
doubt that cuba could easily pay the in
terest on them 1t will be indicated in a
very few days probably what Senior Sa-
gastas Cuban policy is to be. 1t is quite
certain that it will be far more liberal
than that which Spain has been endeavor-
ing to enforce since Gen. Weyler has been
captain general.

The Winter Load Line.

A strong petition from commercial in
terests in Philadelphia, New York and
Boston has been forwarded to the Brit
ish Board of Trade praying that the winter
load-line be abolished and that these
northern ports be put on a footing with
the ports of the southern states The
winter load-line, it may be well to state
for information of those not familiar with
shipping matters, is line esta blished by
the British Board of Trade below which
ships taking cargoes at ports north of a
certain parallel of latitude may not load
during the winter months, for the safety
of the ships, crew and cargoes. sPhiladel-
phia, New York and Boston are north of
that parallel of latitude; Baltimore, and all
south of it. Ships loading at the southern
ports are permitted to load considerably
deeper than those loading al the northern
ports for the reason that they do not en-
counter the dangers from icebergs, storms,
etc. in winter. which the others do. 1t
will be seen that ships taking cargoes at
the southern ports are enabled to carry
greater tonnages, and thus lower their
freight rates, and hence the protest of
the commercial interests of the northern
ports.
1t is understood that Baltimore is taking
steps to combat the efforts of the north
ern ports to have the winter load-line abol-
ished, and that Norfolk and Portsmouth
will join in the protest. This is a matter
in which Savannah, Charleston, Whining
ton and other southern ports are inter-
ested, as well as Baltimore and the Vir-
ginia ports, and they should take action
at once, where they have not done so al
ready, to back up their southern friends
and neighbors. 1t seems to have been
pretty we'll demonstrated that the winter
load-line was established for good and
satisfactory reasons, for the protection Of
life and property, and it should be retain

prospect For Currency reform.

1t is quite evident that It is going to be
a difficult matter TO get the republican
party to do anything in the direction of
reforming the currency. The Indianap-
Oils commission, which is now studying
the currency question with the view of
making recommendations to congress,
may report an excellent currency reform
measure, but its work is much more like
ly to be neglected by this congress than it
is to receive attention from It.
Already some of the republican papers
there is no need to agitate the currency
question-that the currency we have an
swers our purposes admirably, and is,
therefore, good enough. In view of the
fact that the republicans will make a great
effort to retain their majority in the next
House, and to elect the next President, it
would not be surprising if the republicans
should do little or nothing in behalf OF
currency reform.
The history of reforms is that they are
the result of an imperative demand. They
are made when the need of them is so
keen.y felt that it would not be advisa-
BILE to delay making them.
1t may be that our currency is not caus-
ing any trouble at present, but who can say
with any degree of authority that 1t will
not be source of trouble in the near flu
ture? 1t has not been so very long since
there was a financial panic because the
gold reserve fell so far below 500 900, 900
that confidence in the ability of the gov
eminent to maintain its silver and paper
money at par with gold was weakened.
That condition of affairs may occur again
very soon under our present currency
system.
Now is the time to reform the curren-
cy, because the country is in a condition
to stand currency reform agitation. A
reform accomplished calmly and de.iber-
ately is much more likely to be effective
than one made when the necessity for it
is urgent. But because there is no pres
ent danger threatening, congress will
probably do nothing in the matter, and
yet every well informed fnancier admits
that the work of reforming the currency
should be begun at once.

why He wanted to &c Alone.

The Nebraska State Journal tells story
of a Lincoln man who is church MEM
Der and who has been in the habit for
some years of taking his son to the circus
ostensibly to see the animals. The son is
now 10 years old, and he recently announc-
ed to his father that he was big enough to
go alone. The father was taken consid-
erably aback, for he had not counted on
being deprived of the excuse for going this
year he had always used before. "Why
do you want to go alone?' the father ask
ed II don't know" replied the boy, in a
reluctant manner. Eyes, you do said his
father. You wouldn't tell me that you
want to go alone without reason. 'WeI
papa" he said. II want to stay out in the
animal tent longer than you do" The
mans wife was within earshot, and he has
not yet heard the last of the incident.

of the regiments came marching past in

''They look as If they knew how to

they are not quite tall enough"
The prince looked rather surprised, but
made no answer, and several other regi-
ments filed past in succession, but the
Dutchmans verdict upon each was still
the same: Not tall enough"
At length the grenadiers of the guard

know as my life grows older,
And mine eyes have clearer sight,
That under each rank wrong somewhere
There lies the root of right;
That each sorrow has its purpose,
BY the sorrowing oft unguessed;
But, as sure as the sun brings morning,
Whatever is is best.
know that each sinful action,
AS sure as the night brings shade,
Is somewhere some time punished,
Though the hour be long delayed.
/ know that the soul is aided
Sometimes by the hearts unrest,
And to grow means often to suffer
But whatever is is best.

In the great eternal plan,
And all things work together
For the final good of man.
And know when my soul speeds onward
In it's grand eternal quest.

Another story About smith.

Mr.. Smith bought ticket on the Sound
steamer and at the same time asked
for state room, says the Boston Trans
cript. He was informed that all the rooms
were taken. This was discouraging to
Smith, but happy thought struck him.
IT asked to have a room he'd for me- he
said. 'Ohl did your" asked the ticket
seller. what name, please?' smith"
After examining his memorandum the
ticket seller said, BEG pardon,
sir; 1 see there are two rooms held
for you, Nos. Al and Az" II don't under
stand that" said the other. II only want
ed one room I'll take AZ, il you please"
So he got his room all because his name
was Smith, which shows that 1t is a good
thing to have a name that is somewhat
common.
