New York. November 2l.-Atwood Violet
4 Co. say Of cotton:
During the greater part of yesterday and
particularly at the close Of the market. we
were under heavy liquidation by the long
interest, with the prospect OF mucn larger
selling from tho same source today. and be.
Ileyinn that Liverpool was made aware OF
these conditions we anticipated very con-
siderable decline there this morning on
spots as well as contracts. While there was
a recession In tho latter, there was no
auotable change on spots. This brought about
material covering by an ovcrsold short IN
terest, and prices were quickly advanced here
After ups and downs, the market has dis
tinctly gained, not only in price, but In feei-
ing, much the pessimsm Of yesterday having
disappeared. There must be some other rea-
son than the mere holding back of cotton
to account for marked falling off in
receipts. but whatever the cause may be-
even II tho cotton Is being held back, this
is certainly being done by those who can
to the worlds consumers of cotton to find the
South so independent at n season of the year
when they are usually most anxious sellers.
Southern spot markets are relatively higher
than New York. consequently our stock can
not be Increased except at material losses to
those who might wish to bring cotton here
to tender. and therefore II is unlikely we
shall have any weight OF actual cotton in the
New York market for some months yet IL at
all this season. The strength and weakness
OF long interest will soon be tested as the
tender day for January, about the 2ith to
Slst of December. is so rapidly approaching.

the attitude OF the State to the institution
need have no Significance. 1t can accept
or reject the civil divorce as 1t thinks best,
to the extent that 1t has authority over It's
own adherents, but it can go no farther
than impose on them purely ecclesiastical
penalties for their dlsobedience. Under the
law OF the State they are divorced, but the
Church may refuse in its discipline to
recognize the divorces, Church and State
being distinct by our fundamental law.
So also as to marriage. Under the State
it Is purely q civil contract, and, con-
sistently, tho legal marriage should be
civil, 1t being left to the consciences OF the
parties to determine whether they shall
supplement the civil formalityb by obtaining
the blessing OF the Church on the union as
an obligation of religion. All those who
sincerely believe in the Church will obey It's
law as the prime necessity, however 1t may

Ghosts ut Chicago.

A conference Of ti-eXpansionists opens
In Chicago to-day. 1t begins to strike the
public that there are almost as many anti
imperialst conferences as imperiaiStS.
The opportunity for posture-making and
palavering is dear to the Tagalophilists.
The poorest show is run by the Central
Anti-Imperialstlc League, n concern largely
composed OF Prof. J. LAURENCE LAUGHLIN
and the Hon. EDWIN BURRIrr SMITH. They
will be assisted in their want of dclibcra-
tions by some eminent talent We notice
on the bills the names Of the Hon. RICHARD
FRANKLIN PETTIGREw OF South Dakota, of
the Hon. CATO SELLS OF Iowa, of Little
BILLY MASON Of Illinois, the man who is
ashamed OF his country; of Prof. GEORGE
s. HEBRON of Iowa socioogist famed for
the midness, wisdom and patriotism of
his views, and of the Hon. JACOB LENTz OF
Ohio, the enthusiast who loves to class
AGUINALDo among the moral heroes OF
the world.
The remarkable characteristic Of the
conference Is the number of Ex's and used
to-be's that it contains For instance: the
Hon. JULIUS STERLING MORTON, formerly
Secretary of Agriculture; the Hon. WINSTON
WARREN formerly Collector of the Port Of
Boston; the Hon HORACE BoIEs formerly
Governor OF Iowa the Hon. JOHN b. HEN
DERsoN, formerly Senator in Congress
from Missouri the Hon. WILLIAM j. MIzE,
formerly Collector of Internal Revenue at
Chicago and the Hon. CARL SCHURz, for
merly Senator in Congress from Missouri.
These gentlemen have had their day. They
have no connection with living politics.
They are stranded. Doubtless they are
grateful for an occasion to come before the
world again. and nobody should grudge it
to them. But they are only ghosts. They
can only squeak and gibber their protests
while the country moves on.
