estimate from the Cummins headquar-

South Carolina and Florida" It Is q
most beautiful piece OF rhetoric,
Astounding in passages of word coloring
that is at once enhancing and inspir-
ing to q degree seldom equalled by
writer's OF the English language. The
article is given in full on the opposite
page.
Although Mr.. Watterson attempted to
treat his subject from non bipartisan
standpoint he could not avoid laying
down some good sound advice to the
political adventures as he calls them,
which we would recommend to the
democracy a Iowa for careful read
ing. The entire article will prove en-
tertaining but this one passage is par
ticularly instructive. He says: If the
gulf states are true to themselves they
will stop him (the political adventurer)
in his mad career. They will rise en-
masse and show him that they. also,
know thing or two. They will i'm
press upon his understanding the fact
that he is not on a vote itching track.
They will fling aside any party which
dares to step across the pathway OF
their prosperity and which proposes to
manure their wasted fields and to All
their hungry mouths with common
places about the consent Of the gov
erned.' They will say to him as we say
to him, Sir, the South can not live for
ever on cobwebs.' They will say to him
as we say to him, Sir, we do not get our
bread and butter out of politics, any
how, and, as between Wheeler and Lee
and you've follow Wheeler and Lee,
and the flag and the further 1t carries
us the better They will say to him as
we say to him, Sir, the Mckinley adj
ministration may be all you say it is,
but we will settle with Aguinaldo first
and consider Mckinley afterward, and
| meanwhile we have our convictions and
our opinions, and do not mean to fool
away our time watching to see what
the administration does in order that
we may do exactly the opposite, as you
seem to be doing"
Mr.. Wattersons picture of the posi-
bilities in store for the South through
the developing of Pacific lands and the
building Of the Nicaragua canal is a
/ glowing one. 1t will be read with inter
est by the West for every influence that
Leads to benefit the South Will likewise
benefit the West. The opening of the
southern ports. the advantages of north
and south lines of railway. ETC., will all
accrue greatly TO the benefit of the
whole middle West. The prosperity OF
both sections goes hand in hand.

4 FAIRLY ACTIVE MARKG?
Pacific Mail Advances on Expecta
tions of Subsidies.
brooklyn Rapid Transit shows Much
Anination-Dealins I'm the Indus
Case Decfsion-LittIe Effect by
transactions on Foreign Account.

NEW YORK, Dec. 4.-The stock market
opened fairly active, but with rather
unsettled tone. conspicuous exceptions to
the general tendency were Pacific Mail and
Chesapeake and Ohio. The first named
stock advanced on advices that the Presi-
dents forthcoming message to Congress.
would strongly urge the subsidization of
American lines engaged in trade with for
eign countries. There was no particular
exception to the reactionary tone in the
remainder of the market, but recessions
there which in some instances extended 10
per cent were noted.
Interest in the market, apparently well
deserved in new quarters, escaped atten-
tion. Brooklyn Rapid Transit was fea-
ture in respect OF activity and the trading
was also heavy in Sugar Refining and
United States Leather.
The industrial quarter generally was
effected by the unexpected Supreme Court
decision in the so-called Addiston case, al
though better conception of the merits
OF that question is now generally held.
The large market for stocks showed
small and irregular changes and the deal
ings here for foreign account were not
particularly effective in the local market.
There was an absence of fresh develop
ments i'll the financial situation over Sun

DISEASE IN COTTON.
The Department of Agriculture Is.
Late Bulletin.

Ihe department OF Agriculture ls-
sues Late Bulletin.
The United States Department OF AgH-
culture has just issued Bulletin No. II. di-
vision of vegetable physiology and patholo
gy. entitled Wilt Disease of Cotton, Wa
termelon, and COwpea.''
The bulletin was prepared by Erwin F.
Smith. pathologist. and reports the results
of investigations OF a disease which has
caused serious loss TO the growers OF cot
ton and other Southern crops. The report
is technical and will form the basis for a
fuller work looking toward the restriction
and prevention of the disease.
1t gives a description of the fungus,
mentions the host plants, habitat, time of
occurrence and geographical distribution,
and states that the fungus is an active
parasite and destroys a great many plants
by first plugging the water ducts and a.
terward invading the parenchymatic It's
sues. In the case of the watermelon, the
disease due to this fungus is so prevalent
in places as to destroy large fields and to
threaten the extinction of melon growing
for market purposes. The cotton fungus
is also spreading from year to year. and
has already spoiled many acres of valuable
land on fertile coast Islands of South Caro-
lima. The fungus winters over in the sill
and enters the plant through its roots.
The bulletin also describes a number Of
plant infection experiments and contains
ten illustrations.
