STILL TOO HIGH.

Mr.. Neil has shaded his estimate Of
month ago of 100000 bales for the cur
rent cotton crop to 100000 bales. sim,
there are reasons for thinking this is much
too high. The majority of men In the
trade-men who have facilities for gather
ing statistics that are quite as good as
those of Mr.. Nelll-has no hesitation in
saying that he is still a million bales, more
or less, over an accurate estimate. BY
some occult process, which nobody except
himself has yet been able to unders tand,
Mr.. NELL reasons that unfavorable wealth
er conditions inshre an unprecedented crop.
In his estimate he directs attention to the
adverse conditions. The government re-
port emphasizes the fact that weather con-
dtions have been bad and forecasts a
crop million bales less than Mr.. NeilPs
estimate. Still the New Orleans man per-
sists in his inflated views, to the great
detriment of every cotton raising state.
Liverpool, which is a purchaser, uses
the Neill estimate as a club with which to
hammer down prices.
As far back as Oct !, one of the prln-
cipal cotton firms in Texas reported, upon
state and Indian Territory, that so far as
those two sections were concerned the cot
ton crop had done it's best and the power
of recuperaton was gone. The excessive
drought and the intense heat had done
their work. Maturity had been early. and
the top crop had been ruined. In some
instances It was said, "the yield will not
be so per cent. of the average" The firm
has not yet learned anything to cause it
to change its views. The movement was
early aud heavy, and all of the cotton will
be quickly harvested baled and marketed,
New York cotton men, who have been
giving the closest possible attention to the
crop, are convinced that the crop will not
be 100000 bales, and throughout the
South it is the opinion that 10, 900, 900 bale
crop will hardly be realized
1t is an outrage upon cotton producers
that the power TO bear the market az
pleasure should rest in the hands of one
man, as in the case of Mr.. Neil. 1t is
easy enough to understand that he could,
If he desired, graduate his predictions TO
suit his speculations aud thus turn the
peculiar faith which English spinners have
in his estimates 10 his own great pecuniary
advantage. There could not of course,
be any objection to one using his special
information for personal profit if that in
formation had not assumed something of
official character We do not mean to say
that Mr. Neil makes use of his estimates
20 manipulate the markets 10 suit his own
interests, but we say that it is possible
ance attached in Liverpool TO what he
says.
There ought 10 be some way of officially
gathering crop statistics that would be so
accurate and so reliable as to put it out
of the power of private crop guessers to
manipulate the market against the produc-
ers interests. The government reports
do not at present meet the want

lie won the $40, But, Oh, My!


At noon the other day circle of 100
men stood in the yard of Bridgeport
mill, and in the center of the circle posed
dehantly a machinist John Jimpson, with
a pot of paste in one hand and a table,
spoon in the other, says the Philadelphia
Record. Go on, Jimpson! Start her up
shouted the men, convulsed with laughter.
That morning Jimpson had said to the
bookkeeper, extending the full pot OF
paste: How would you like TO eat this?'-
The other had replied: ~ wouldn't eat

said. It's only flour and water. 1t
wouldn't hurt you; smell it; smells sour,
doesn't it?'' The bookkeeper took Jimpson
at his word. From one hundred men he
collected 10 cents apiece, and the time
was come for the fulfilling of the contract
There was about a quart of the paste, ana
it was thick-thicker than molasses. jump

mouth with the tablespoon. His face was

the contributors shouted and laughed he

Every swallow he made was a CONFUSION,

Baby With a Beard.

A young married couple in Belfast, Me,
received q, startling shock recently. says
the New York Tribune They carried
their baby TO a photographer for a pic
ture. In due time the proof came around,
but the parents at first failed to recognize
il. The baby's features were there all
right, and so were the pretty dress and all
the other accessories, but the child had
apparently grown a full beard while be-
fore the camera. The artist had used by
mistake a plate on which an imperfect
picture Of an old man had been taken, and
the two exposures conceded so well that
he saved the plate as a curiosity.

CURRENT COMMENT.

The New York Journal OF Commerce
Gnd) says: THE shortage of cars, from
which railroads generally are suffering In
various degrees. is the more noticeable be-
cause the present increase of business was
not entirely unexpected The improve
ment in the railroad situation has now
been going on for some time. The i'm
provemenL in general business. the in
creased earnings of railroads and the large
foreign demand for breadstuffs are not the
occurrences of the last few weeks. Nor
have the railroads been indifferent to the
signs of an expanding demand upon them.
Since their bu mess has begun to mend
many of them have spent money literally
in preparing to meet the demand. Money
has been expended on improving the
tracks and very considerable additions
have been made TO rolling stocks"
The Macon Telegraph (Dem). says: "At
the beginning of the affair out in the Phil
ippines the Telegraph took grounds against
any physical annexation of those islands
TO the states of the American Union. We
are of the same opinion stu. But when
Aguinaldo fired on the Americans, carried
to Luzon by the fortunes of the Spanish
American war, after they had stricken the
shackles from abe natives. we took the
position that he should be squelched before
any other steps were taken, and that all
patriotic Americans should stand together
90 that end. We are glad to see Secretary
Root taking very much the same position"
OF Congressman-elect Roberts case the
Philadelphia Record (Dem) says: THE
state of Utah would not be in a position
TO complain II Congress should act upon
its right to determine the qualification of
its membership by providing against the
intrusion OF man who stands in the posi-
ton OF a willful voator of laws which
exist in every state Of the Union. Ii can
not be deemed serious denial of the right
of representation to refuse to allow a man
10 sit as a legislator who ought instead
to have been sent to represent his constit-
uency in the penitentiary."
Discussing the evils of the South Caro-
lima dispensary system. the Baltimore
Herald Dem) thus concludes: THE rev.
Citations with respect 10 the practical
workings of dlspensaries must discredit the
institution n oroughly in the eyes of the
discerning public. In view of the object
lesson fu aished by South Carolina. other
states will be in no hurry to adopt the
plan"
