Worthy of ContemDt.

London, Feb. 14.-The Daily Chronicle
publishes a letter this morning from
Count Leo T0lstOi, the celebrated Rus
sian philosopher, condemning the con-
ference proposed by Emperor Nicholas
for the limitation of the armaments as
only worthy Of contempt and deri-
sion" Count TOlstoi says:
1t will be impossible to reduce arma-
ments while nations not only persist in
acquiring new possessions, like the Phil
ippines, Port Arthur and the rest. but
also keep what they have acquired, like
India, Poland, Alsace- Lorraine and the
rest "

RESIGNATION DEMANDED.
The Cry Raised of NO Guinea Pigs in the
Government"

! Government"
! London. Feb. 15.-The liberal morning
| papers are making much capital of an
| amendment to the address to the throne
| moved last evening in the house of COM
| mons by j. Swift MacNeil, nationalist
member from Donegal, with reference
| to the fact that % ministers of the
crown hold between them Al director
ships in public companies. In pressing
his amendment Mr.. MacNeil argued
that such conduct was inconsistent with
the dignity of public life and he urged
the liberal party to go to the country
upon the platform NO guinea pigs in
government
Mr. Michael Hicks Beach, chancellor
of the exchequer defended the minis
tiers on the ground that there could be
no harm in such form of relaxation
from public dutes.''
Sir Henry Campbell Bannerman, the
liberal leader, rather severely reproved
the attitude of the chancellor of the eX-
chequer and strongly condemned the
holding of such directorships by minis
tiers. The debate was adjourned.
The Daily Chronicle says: I'VE hope
Mr.. Balfour may be able at to-night's
session of the house to announce that
some of his colleagues have resigned
their directorships.'
The paper points out that the Earl of
Selborne, under secretary of state for
the colonies, is a director of the PENN
sular & Oriental Steam Navigation Co,
and that the Duke of Devonshire, lord
president of the council of ministers, is
chief of a great armament company.
Yet" says the Chronicle, they are
one and all powerful chiefs of our i'm
perial defenses."
The Daily News, which comments in
a similar strain, says that Lord Rose
berry, when he succeeded Mr.. Glad
stone in the premiership. insisted upon
all his colleagues resigning their direc-
torships and that Lord Salisbury ought

The idea that we may possibly be

one. Those who laugh at it merely
emphasize their lack of knowledge

wide. He could communicate with
his fellow men only so far as his

AN ADVANCING MARKET.

Whether the cotton crop will
come up to FIRST guesses, whether 1t
will smaller than last season, and
whether tendency of prices to ad-
vauce will continue are questions
experts. buyers, manufacturers,
spectators and planters are asking
That the tendency is now for an
advancing market is recognized,
and consumers abroad are also buy
ing heavily. Whether, as the crop
is picked, the causes for advancing
prices and heavy purchases will
continue cannot be foretold, says
the Nashville American. the drift
of opinion in southern cotton cen
tiers is that the crop will fall far
short of first estimates even if
weather conditions remain favora-
BILE for picking.
In New Orleans the PicdYune
sums up the situation as follows:
Within the past week cotton has
improved materially in price, and
there has sprung up very brisk
demand for actual cotton, not only
for export but from home spinners.
AccumuIating evidences of crop
damage generally unfavorable crop
promises have at length, forced the
the trade to accept the truth OF the
reports of damage which have been
| in circulation for a month past, anc
there is a general disposition to re.
duce estimates.
The most encouraging sign OF the
times is the revival of the demand
from fo-iegn spinners, showing that
even they have lost faith in the big
crop theories to which they recent
ly pinned faith While spinners art
now anxious buyers, producers anC
merchants are not such eager sell
ers; hence a very strong situation
has been created A very impor
tant factor in the situation which
has recently developed is the more
moderate receipts of cotton, botf
at ports and interior towns, thar
had been looked for This may
mean either that the crops are not
turning out well or that producer;
are holding back. 1t is more prob
able, however, that the smaller re
ceipts are due rather to the croI
results than to holding back, al
cotton is commonly shipped as fast
as picked and ginned at this perloC
of the season, as farmers anC
country merchants have pressing
obligations to meet. While sensi
bic people will refrain from indulg
ing in estimates as to the ultimate
yield, it is safe to predict from all
the known facts that the crop viii
be smaller than last season, How
much smaller will depend largely on
conditions which may yet be con,
fronted, such for instance as an
early frost, which the present COO
weather makes not improbable A
smaller yield and enormous con,
sumption form d very strong com
bination for stimulating prices
From all indications it looks as if
the present crop will be marketed
on an advancing market, and, as a
result, cotton producers will receive
reasonable prices for their staple,

A BUCKIEG BRONCO.

Yesterday, a young man saddled
a wild bucking bronco in the rear
of the Oak Hall saloon, and not sat
isfed that one grit was sufficient to
hold him and the saddle on at the
same time, procured another one,
and fixing it back near the ianks,
took it up as tight as he could with
the aid Of Alex Wilson, who is some
thing Of a horse tanner himself.
The horse behaved well until the
young man placed his foot in the
stirup TO mount, and then such ca
pers as he cut would have shamed
populst at a political pow-wow.
This kicking was not spasmodic af-
fair, but a continuous show like
those given by the heather Chinese.
He bucked up and down the alley
with Mr.. Wilson on one side of its
head and the young man on the
other trying to hold him down, but
it was no 90. A great crowd had
collected at the mouth of the alley
and was enjoying the fun uproar-
ously until the maddened animal
made a rush toward the crowd,
when stampede followed, The re-
porter got jammed up against a
brick wall by the retreating crowd,
but did not get seriously mashed.
Marshal Casey came up and read
the riot act. He said the city was
no place to break horses and said
something about pulling some one,
at the sound of which, the young
man started off leading the buck
ing horse, looking for the woods east
of the city We stand with Mar
shaI Casey on the riot act, only we
wish he had issued it before our
head was jammed. against that
brick wall.
