The Texarkana Courier says it struck off one hundred names from It's daily subscription list last month the names of people who could pay, but wouldn't. It is surprising the number of people who seem to think that a paper should be pub lished day in and day out without collecting anything for subscription. It takes money to pay the printers, pay for paper, etc, just the same as it does in any other business, and people who don't pay certainly should not expect to receivea news paper for nothing.

Rich Men Drawing Pensions.

Maj. s. N. Clark, veteran of the civil war, in the November Forum, points out that the pauper act now covers 539, ,638 pensioners; that it cost the revenues, in 1897, $66, 900, . 900, and the total disbursements under the act have been, in seven years, $431, ,908,000. Mai. Clark says that thousands of men are benefciaries of this law, who earn incomes of $3, ,000 to $5, 900 and even $15, 900 year, while hundreds, if not thousands, of other benefciaries are men of independent means. "-Scim- tar.
 All of which is no doubt true, and a great many of the pensioners are also Federal officers. For instance, ve have often heard it said that Judge Joha A. Williams, of the Fed eral Court for the Eastern District of Arkansas, draws pension of $12.0O month in addition to sal arv of $5,000 year.
 There is no system in this Gov ernment more fruitful of fraud than the pension system, and yet the Grand Army of the Republic, like Oliver Twist, is still clamoring for more.

The Uotton sltuation.

The New Orlerns Picayune claims to have studied the cotton situation, and it declares the present season is proving 8 bitter experience to the cotton producers. Notwith- standing the predictions of those who maintain that cotton can be produced atless than5 5 cents pound, it is very clear that the present price of cotton, which is consider ably below 5 cents on plantations, is proving anything but profitable. Planters and tenant farmers who have made their crops on advances find themselves unable to pay out, and even the more thrifty who were able to do without advances now find that their labor has been with out profit.
 Notwithstanding these many evidences that the present cotton crop is selling below the cost of pro- duction, there areRstill many people who believe that prices will go lower, and it must be admitted that there is no speculation to speak of at present prices, and, consequently, nothing to indicate the confidence of moneyed men in better outlook for cotton. Experience teaches, however, that when a product so staple as cotton drops below the cost of production in value, 8 reac- tion is not far off. Such was the experience which followed the low prices of 1894, and :.sueh, in the natural order of things, should be the experience this season.
 Just what will give the initial momentum to the upward move ment it is difficult to forsee, and just when the upward movement will begin it would be hard to pre- dict. A first favorable symptom has already become apparent, how ever, h the better demand for spot cotton which is reported both from domestic as we'll as from foreign spinners. This must be considered as an evidence of growing conf- dence upon the part of the actual consumers of raw cotton, Were this actual demand followed by revival of speculation, the reaction which all interested in the cotton industry are praying for would soon set in. Speculation, however, con tinues dormant. Never, perhaps, in years has there been so prolong- ed an indifference to cotton on tbe part of spectators, and this lack Of interest has had much to do with the persistencY with which prices have sagged downwards. This in- difference on the part of spectators cannot continue indefinitely. There are those who believe, and they are probably right, that should the de- mand for spots continue, speculat- ors will be encouraged to believe that the turn in the tide has come, and will then take hold with some thing like old-time energy.
 People are already beginning to consider the probable effect upon next seasons crop of the low prices now prevailing. If farmers are. losing as much money as is report ed, there can be little doubt that they will be less able to plant a large acreage next season. More over, there will be 8 strong agita- tion in favor of curtailmens of acre. age; in fact, the agitation in that direction has already commenced. !"
