NELL AND THE COTTON CROP.

The Houston TEX Post calls atten-
tion to the fact that Neill reduces his
crop estimate from twelve to eleven mill
lion bales. and says that ''even now
he prophesies a yield that he must know
is not within the range of possibilities, !"
and adds:
There is hardly another man in the
South who would risk his reputation as
an authority by claiming that the pres
emit crop could exceed 10,500,00 bales.
There arc very few who count upon a
yield that large. the great majority
of those who have investigated the CON
dition of the crop throughout the
South declaring that 100000 bales is
the maximum possibility. Many there
are who place the outturn at 100000.
The Post does not know how Mr..
Neill reaches his conclusions, but it is
certain that he has no substantial fotln-
datiGn for estimating the present crop
OF cotton at anything much i'm excess of
100000 bales. That is the belief of
men who are just ras well posted as
Mr. Neill and who have made THOR
ougn investigation of the crop in every
State.
ITO say that Mr. Neil has deliberately
overestimated the crop is to make a Sc
rious charge against that statistician,
but under the circumstances no other
conclusion is possible. 1t is consiolfng to
reflect, however, that his outrageous and
inexcusaible prophecies no longer, affect
the market Ian fact, his circulars are
now treated with disdain by the cotton
world, and even his friends, the spin
ners, no longer place any confidence in
him. His prophecies do not deserve re-
spectful consideration from amy source

The International Monthly-A New
Conner i'm the Field of Letters

Some of our readers have known Tor
some time that our towusman, Frederick
\. Richardson, in association with some
distinguished men of letters was planning
the establishment of a new monthly mag
azine designed to fill field not adequate
ly occupied as yet. The formal announce-
ment of the enterprise will he found in
another column, and We ask especial at
tention to It. The new magazine will be
published by the Macmillan company of
New York and London--a company whose
high reputation on both sides of the wa
ter is known to all. The advisory board,
associated with Mr.. Richardson in the
publication, comprises some of the most
eminent scholars and writer's in this coun-
try, England, France and Germany. The
departments Of the new monthly cover a
wide range in Literature, Science. Phil
osophy, Religion and Art and among The
writer's whose essays will appear during
the coming year, are some of the leading
essayists in our own and other countries.
1t will be seen that no slight or ephem-
eral enterprise is contemplated and in
common with many Of our readers we
shall watch for the first number of the
new magazine with great interest, and
give to it hearty welcome.
Mr. Frederick Richardson, the editor of
the International Monthly, is the son Of
our respected townsman, Mr.. A. f. Rich
ardSon known all over this country and
abroad as one of the leading members of
the heavy firm of Wells, Richardson &
company He, Mr.. Frederick. is a grad
uate of the University of Vermont, and
pursued post graduate studies for several
years at Harvard College. He has a strong
bent for Philosophical, humanitarian and
scientific studies and a wide acquaintance
among scholars. scientific men and litcra-
teurs. His enterprise will be backed by
ample capital and we wish it the high
success We know it will deserve.

a modus vivendi but it is believed that be-

manent adjustment of the whole Alaskan

cred are those with Spain, France and

eral treaty. 1t is evident therefore, that
the subjects to Se considered by Congress

enormous aggregate of business
The present session of Congress will be
noteworthy on account of the fact that
President Mckinley will he supported by
both branches of Congress during the lat

fairs which will make the republican
party entirely responsible for the meas

lists, two silver party men and two indie

twenty-five votes more than the democrats

Handsome Compliment For Judge
Powers.

The people Of Vermont will be pleased
to note the extent to which our State is
receiving recognition in Washington
through Congressman II. Henry Powers.
He was called upon to preside a the con-
ference of the republican members of the
House to consider the case of Congress
man-elect Brigham II. Roberts of Utah,
and now it is stated that his name is he
ing considered for a place on the commit
tee TO consider matters involving our new
colonial possessions. The well-informed
and accurate Washington correspondent
Of the Springfield Republican writes his
paper as follows:
The rules are similar to those of the
last Congress. but provide for a special
committee to consider matters relating to
the dependencies. 1t is the intention Of
the speaker to make up this committee Of
the strongest men in the House, without
much regard to the importance of the 9TH
II places which are given to them. 1t is
probable that the republican leaders, Payne
and Dalzell, will go on the committee,
with possibly Mr.. Sherman of New York,
who was such a prominent candidate for
speaker before the majority declared for
Gcn. Henderson The eastern member
will probably be Mr.. Moody, who was
crescent at the conference of leaders on
sunday morning at which the programme
of Saturday night was mapped out, or
judge Powers of Vermont, whose keen
mind and sound judgment have always
commanded the respect of his associates"
The value and significance of this tri-
butte to Congressman Powers is increased
by the fact that 1t comes from a thorough
ly unbiased and wholly disinterested
source aud reflects the estimation in
which he is held by his co-workers in the
House. Inasmuch as Nermonter, in the
person of Admiral Dewey, figured conspic-
uously IN SECURING the principal Dependent
cies in question: it would be fitting to have
our State represented on the congressional
committee on those dependencies by as
able and efficient a man as Judge Powers.

The Eifty-SiXth Congress

The session of the new Congress which
began Monday VIII undoubtedly he one Of
the most important, as regards the mo-
montous character of the issues before it
and the amount of constructive legisla-
ton it will be called upon to enact heid
since the reconstruction period, immedi-
ately following our civil strife The lues-
TORS that have arisen in connection wi h
the territory acquired by the United
States from Spain would in and of them
selves furnish work for lengthy session
Of Congress and but for the method Of
distributing the labor of investigation and
reporting among different committees, it
would be impossible to dispose of these
matters alone during the long session of
that body. The question of the future dis
position of the Philippines is probably the
most far-reaching problem to be consider
cd in connection with our new territory,
but in addition TO this there will be The
formulation of a plan of government for
that archipelago, another for the Cubans,
and still another for Porto Rico which
is ours permanently beyond all possibility
Of question
ately domestic character to occupy the
attention of the Fifty-Sixth Congress the
enactment of new currency law I'M
doubtedly takes precedence as regards inn
portance. The necessity Of establishing
the gold standard on a permanent Jasis
IS generally recognized, but this presents
but one phase of the currency problem.
II is desirable that steps be taken 10 break
the endless chain which can make a draft
upon our gold surplus at any time; to r,.-
leve the monetary pressure and to pro-
vide for the elasticity of our banking cur
rcncy, Other matters of moment TO lie
disposed Of are measures for the cncour-
agcment of American shipping interests;
an interoccanic ship canal ana the settle
mcnt of the case of Polygamist Roberts OF
Utah. 1t is also expected that the rela-
tons of Canada ana the United States will
attract considerable attention; and in view
Of the retirement Of cX-Speakor Reed the
adoption of new rules for the House dis
cussed at republican caucus Saturday
evening will in all probability be attended
with more than ordinary interest.
The Senate will be called upon to con.
der various important matters affect ua
the foreign relations of the United States
a treaty which will seem somewhat ou
of time will be that negotiated az The
Hague peace conference. This convention
simply provides for the alienation of the
horrors of war, and it is probable shat Iii,

treaty providing for the division of the
Samoan islands, however, there will un.
doubtedly be considerable discussion, il
