New Orleans, March 28.-Failure
OF the Liverpool market to respond
TO our steadiness of Saturday caused
lower range of values in cotton at
the opening. There was very little
for sale and the market became
steady. About midday . telegram
from Washington stated that Minis
ter Woodford cabled the state de-
partment that Sagasta said Spain
would make no objection TO the
method of relief TO the Cubans by
the United States. This was the
signal for an active covering OF
shorts and prices rose IL to Is points.
Market was oversold and shorts paid
the penalty OF their folly at the ex-
treue advance. There was a good
supply for sale by those who had
been steady buyers of the past week.
IL must be remembered that cotton
did not share to any great extent in
the weakness Of other markets and
for this reason we hardly look for
any material advance.

The article published Ia the news col
umnz by ex-Gov Knapp. Of Alaska, has
an exceptional value, not only because
Of the experience Of the writer, but be-
cause Of the high character Of the man.
We fear. however, that he has set his
ideals too high OF all places in the
country Alaska is about the most un-
propitious for attempting a reform
which has failed even in the serene and
settled home life Of agricultural Iowa
The governor Internationally does an
injustice to those who favor high H.
cense-" Their purpose is to lessen an
evil by regulation, because the attempt
to abolish it has been a failure. II is
not intended to take away all restraints
by giving license to Indians. The Fed
erai law against selling or giving liquor
to the Indians viii remain on the stat
ute books. The fact that the white
liquor dealers have to pay high license
fee for permission to trade viii make
them interested allies OF the officers
charged with the duty of preventing H.
licit traffic
Gov. Knapp asks IL it is true that pub
lie sentiment is opposed to the present
prohibition laws. The reply must be
that ii is Great numbers of the
population OF Alaska are whisky drink
ers, and the remainder do not feel par
ticuiarly interested in trying to compel
the majority to do as the minority wills.
The minority pIeases itself by not drink
ing, and attends to its own business
1t is possibly true that force strong
enough to enforce prohibition might be
sent into Alaska. But why do it? Why
force thousands of people to do what
they do not want 70 do? There are evils
resulting from the excessive use Of
liquor, and ii is proposed to minimize
them by regulative laws. Gov. Knapp
arraigns liquor drinking along with
crime, and this Is where he misapplies
his reasoning. Whisky drinking is not
wise; in immoderation it Is injurious,
physically and morally; in excess it may
lead 10 mischief, but it is no more a
crime than 1t is to have a bad temper,
although bad temper may lead to muir
der There is a great difference between
offenseS and foliies between punishment
of crime per Sc and the enforcement
of merely sumptuary and sentative
regulations.
