1NE COTTON IXCE>S,
Our Yield HaS Quad, hb,cd aud the Pri. L
has Fall, II to One Fourth.
(Bult;moro Americana

Washington, d. G., Oct. . Tho
phrnomcnally low price Of cotton re.
Gently reported, said to bo tho lowest
point reached in many years, lends
special interest to series of cables,
just completed by the treasury bu-
rcau Of statistics, showing the re-
markablo increase in cotton produc.
ton and coincidcutul fall in price.
These tables show that tho U,itcd
States, tho chief cotton rroLuccr Of
tho world, has quudrupl"d her cot
ton production since 1872, aid that
the price Of cotton in the samc peri
OF has fallen to about one fourth
that which prevailed in That year.
In 1871 the cotton crop of the Unit
cd States is shown to have been l.,
3Sl, ,OSi 40! l'0unds, with an aver.
age price Of ~. 80 ccnts per pound;
III lS9S the crop is reported at >,
GG1 1,3I2,05l pounds, with an average
price Of G.23 cents per pound. THUS
the production Of 1898 is more than
four times that Of 1872, and the uv-
orago price but little over one.
fourth that Of that yoar.
When it is considered that the
other portions Of the world that grow
cotton have not at al reduced their
production moant'mr, it is apparent
that tho increased cotton supply of
tho world in the quarter Of Il ,c':tury
under consideration has boon worry
great, and far in advance OF tho in
crease in population or consuming
power
Twenty five years ago tho Unite q
States produced seventy per cent. of
tho cotton of tho world; today sho
produces eighty five per cent. Of the
worlds cotton. This increase in tho
percentages has been, not because Of Il
reduction Of the cotton proluccl in
other parts Of the world, but simply
| on account OF the incrruao in oul
own. Tho cotton supply Of the other
cotton producing sections Of the
world in 1872, q was ,GG7 900 bales,
and in 1897 IS l,GG5,OOO bales.
Tho average cotton production Of
other countries from 1872 to 1878,
was ,6lS,000 bales per nnnnm, and
from 1890 to 1897 was l,92l, ,O0O
bales per annum, showing that there
has also been slight growth in the
cotton production in other parts of
tho nrld, while our own production
has beun increasing enormously.
Not on Y has tho price Of cotton
fallen at about tho same ratio that
tho production has Increased, but
there has also boon a corresponding
fall in the price OF cloths mannfnc-
| turcd from cotton. The reports Of
tho bureau Of statistics show that
cotton ''prin,ing clo,hs' were quoted
at SO cents per yard in 1872 while
reports just published show IN aver
age rate OF 2. I cents per yard in the
cotton year 1898 for tho same grade
Of cloths, the fail in tho prico of the
manufactured article thus having, in
this case at lonst, nearly or quite
kept pace with the fall in the price
Of raw cotton, and tine increase in
production of that article.
1t is proper to ad! that the prices
quoted for tho earlier years are bHsct
upon tho currency values Of that per
iod, and if reduced TO II gold basis
wo I'D be slightly less.

It now appears that these jurisdictions having been for year on the classified assessment system, will not be applicants for relief for the year 1897, or if so for very small amounts. Certainly system that can work such changes in old and dormant jurisdictions like these is worthy of the consideration of other jurisdictions.

BRITISH HISTORY WRONG.
4 Minleading Account of the Battle ef
 White Plains.


 In it's series of supplements recount ing "The Battle Honors of the Servioes'' The British Navy and Army Illustrated once in awhile says something about the British forces in the Revolutionary war. When it does, it is pretty sure to be inaccurate.
 The cover of one issue of the "Bat. tie Honors" has spirited picture of Bragg's grenadiers winning the battle of White Plains, where they won the name of the "Slashers, because they threw away their f1intlocks and carried an intrenchment with their short swords. The picture is entitled "The Slashers at the Battle of White Plains, 1775."
 The battle of White Plains was fought, as matter of fact, on Oct. 28, 1776. It is stated in the publication that Washington sent 8, 900 men to oc. cupy hill above the ford of the "Brunx," and that this position was carried by the "Slashers'' with their swords. It is also said that "soon after this turning movement General Wash ington, abandoning his stores, retired with his army toward Connecticut.
 As matter of fact the position re- ferred to was held by 400 Americans under General McDougal and was car ried by British force of 4,000. One would think from reading the British version of the fight that the tSlashers" whipped the entire American army. There were other British regiments en. gagged ill the work of carrying Chatter. ton hill, and it is unfair to them to give all the credit to the "Slashers ''
 Of what took place after the position was carried the version given by The Navy and Army Illustrated is deliber- ately misleading. The facts are that when the hill was carried General Nc Dougal retired to Washington's camp with a loss of so prisoners and 100 kill. ed and wounded. The British lost a29 killed and wounded. Howe did not dare to attack Washington, but sent for To endorsements, and on Nov. moved his augmented army to Debbs Ferry. Washington, being confronted by supe- rior numbers, retired, not toward Con- necticut, but across the Hudson to New Jersey on Nov. g.
 When a nation starts out to write it's military history and distorts it in some particulars, it makes one doubt the truth of all. The truth about the battle of White Plains would rebound just as much to the glory of the 'Slashers" as does the perverted account published by the navy and army. New York Press.

The Glamour of Art.

Do you think that Greek art ever tsild us what the Greek people were like! Do you believe that the Athenian wom- en were like the stately, dignified fig ures of the Parthenon frieze or like those marvellous goddesses who sat in the triangular pediments of the sams buildings If you judge from the art they certainly were so. But read an au- thority like Aristophanes, for instance. You will find that the Athenian ladies laced tightly, wore high heeled shoes. dyed their hair yellow, painted and rouged their faces and were exactly like any silly, fashionable or fallen creature of our own day. The fact is that we look back on the ages entirely through the medium of art and art, very forth. nately, has never once told us the truth. Boston Journal.

 Several years ago young athlete named D. was conspicuous as foot ball player. He was swift runner, a reliable drop kicker and an excellent all round player. He had proved such a tower of strength on his college eleven that rival teams feared him, and when rumors to the effect that he had received money for his services were circulated steps were eagerly taken by the foot ball authori +ies of an opposing college to investigate his amateur status. If he had received money, as alleged, he was no longer an amateur and could be de- barred from place on the team.

DIR. HAMLIN's LECTURE.
'Tnspfration" Treated by the Learn
ed Teacher.

Rev. Teunis S. Hamlin, d. D., pastor of
the Church Of the Covenant, delivered the
second Of his series of Wednesday after
noon Bible lectures before large au-
dience yesterday. The subject of the lect-
ure was inspiration" and was treated
in very interesting manner. Dr. Hamlin
said that men should place themselves on
plan for the spirit of God His acts
result in divine power and so would their
acts. This is what is known as plenary
inspiration. 1t is inspiration that is
mighty enough to produce results These
results are exclusively religious
What Luke wrote was essential truth.
and this Is inspiration.
I'm the first place, inspiration" he said,
lis not holiness. We are too apt to think
that every inspired man is a holy man.
This is not so. Inspiration does not nee
essarily mean sinlessness. Inspiration is
divine power which is infallible religious
truth
I'm the second place, inspiration is not
omniscience. The inspired man is not an
omniscient man. Our divine Lord Himself
proclaims the Limitation of His knowl-
edge. 1t is commonly said that poets are
inspired, and that all men of inspiration
are inspired men, and there is truth IN it."
