The Philadelphia Press is urging upon
the attention of the cotton farmers the
exaggerated estimates of the British
cotton experts, as to immense crop,
with the evident intention of forcing
down prices until the crop is largely
bought up. The Light has called at
tention to the fact of these exaggerat-
ed estimates for the last month, as be-
ing the real cause of the low price of
cotton. There is not a doubt that there
is, a large shortage in the yield, that
British buyers have taken every bale
that they can get, that they maintain
their claim of a yield three millions
greater than will be realized, and that
the crop is coming more rapidly to
market this year than ever before.
The Light sees no reason to withdraw
it's prediction that cotton will sell for
I cents before the year dies and will
bring before the present cotton sea-
son closes. Low priced cotton and
high priced wool are not compatible.
Compare the prices of these staples in
the past and note their relations.

Lemuel e. Quigg is getting the
measure that he melted with returned
90 him again. Three years ago a Re
publican campaign committee for the
city of New York and the Republican
convention of that city declared in ia
vor of non partisanship in municipal
affairs, and the leaders of that move
ment, under which Strong was elect
ed mayor, are supporting Low heartily
and quoting the action of three years
ago as their Republican authority for
their course. Such ammunition is do
ing great execution.

The make up of the present Senate,
together with the fact that those whose
term expire in 1899 are largely DEM
ocrats, leads to the conclusion that
with proper care the body will be prac-
tically Republican after that date.
The real test of Republican strength
will come in 1901 and in 1908 as in
those years the Republicans whose
terms expire largely exceed those Of
the Democrats whose successors will
then be elected. The margin will be
close for some time to come and the
Republicans to make themselves solid
will have to recover control of the Leg
islatures in the northwestern states.

roo MANY PIECES on PIE.

The question of the extension or the
curtailment of the sphere of the civil
service operations is destined to create
no little interest on the assembling of
Congress. The pie pleaders will be
there in force, determined to cut Off
any further extension of the principle
and If possible to secure retrograde
action and the release of some de-
partments of the public service from
the operations of the civil service as
now conducted. This attempt will be
met by strong opposition by the ad-
ministration, as there is reason to con-
clude that the president has set his
mind on an extension of the service.
His experience has been such as to
convince him that there are altogether
too many vacant places to be filled in
the public service on the advent of
new administration, and that it would
be a gain everyway to have fewer
of these places to fill. The fight is al
ways between the ms and outs, and the
fewer there are to go out and of ne
cessity the fewer to come in, the less
there will be of partisanship in the po-
litics of the nation. This endeavor to
extend the civil service, in the inter-
ests of a better service, meets with the
approval of the country. The pull for
place that has now continued for eight
months has disguised the decency of
the American people. Not only so,
but it has been impossible to properly
attend to the affairs of the nation on
account of the opportunities of the
department of the service and the
heads of these departments have as
many demands made upon their time
and patience by the people who want
place, as they have by the regular du-
ties of their office. A public service,
with regulations for the systematic
promotion of subordinates to more i'm
portant positions as these fall vacant,
is very much needed in this country.
1t is coming nearer and nearer to that
every administration. No wonder
that those who are practically ac-
quainted with the persistence of the
place hunters, and are compelled TO
face the recommendations of those high
in influence for their henchmen, favor
such a change in the service as will |
to some extent at least relieve them |
of this burden.

Henry George has at least made his
candidacy respectable. In the early
stages of the campaign it was ordered
in the councils of Tammany that
George should be ignored, as there was
really no bottom to his candidacy, and
this was really the conclusion of Crok-
er when on his return from Europe he
stepped to the leadership of the wig
wan hosts. This tactics has been
discarded, and direct attacks on
George are being made, for his num-
bers are growing at a rate to alarm
the Tammany committees.

Philadelphia saves its bacon and its
credit and it's French, by placing only
an abridged edition of Les Miser-
ables on its school text book list.
There is not a girl in that high school
now but will read Les Miserables in
the unabridged edition just as soon as
she can get hold of it. Not only so,
she will get an idea that it is naughty,
simply because of the effort to sup
press it and put false constructions
upon it that she never would have
thought of had the book been left 10
itself.

When the government of China does
not like an editor it takes off his
head, not his official one, but the one
with the pigtail on it. OF necessity
the official head accompanies it into the
basket. In this country it is only the
official head that goes. The other one
remains to the end of the chapter.
There are no doubt conditions under
which the Chinese way is the best.
