THE COTTON MARKET.

The general tendency of the New
York and Liverpool markets during
the past few days has been upward.
There has been, however, no especial
excitement.
On the local market the best price
of which the reporter had information
as having been paid yesterday was
7.4O. 1t is quite probable that better
price may have been paid after these
figures were obtained.
The local receipts up to this time
have not been nearly up to those oi
the same date last year. 1t is not
practicable today TO give exact figures
but it is reasonably certain that the
total does not post up more than 1000
bales or about 25 per cent. of last years
receipts.
The farmers of the surrounding
country have so far been reluctant to
sell. 1t is doubtful as to whether in
the aggregate they have marketed as
much as so per cent. of their crop.

MERE-MENTION.

The German minister of the interior
has hinted that if the balance of trade
with the United States continues
against Germany they may have 10
abandon the gold standard. .''""".The
explosion of cotton compress cylin-
der in Natchez, Miss, last Saturday,
caused the loss of 100000 worth OF

A number of prominent Gold Standard

Perry S. Heath, just made public. Mr..
Heath says the service so far has re-
suited in increased postal receipts,
enhancement of the value of farm
lands reached by rural free delivery OF
from 81 to SO per acre; a general i'm
provement of the condition of the
roads traversed by the rural carrier
better prices for farm products, the
producers being brought in daily touch
with the state of the markets, besides
educational benefits conferred by re-
lieviug the monotony of farm life
through ready access to wholesome
literature and knowledge of current
events. On November 1st rural free
delivery was in successful operation
over 1888 services, radiating over 40
states and one territory, Idaho, Wyo-
ming, Mississippi and Montana being
the only states unrepresented. Be-
tween the beginning of the new fiscal
yrar, July /, 1899, and November,
with an additional expenditure of
Sl5O,OOO, rural free delivery has been
extended to nearly 100000 persons at
an annual cost of about "a cents per
capita, against all average per capita
cost of $3.50 in small towns of 5000
population. "It is a small matter to a
resident of town." says the report,
ito be saved walk of few hundred
yards to the postoffice, while on the
contrary it is great accommodation
to the farmer to be spared a drive OF
5 or 10 miles over country roads to
get his mail. In recent public dis
cussion advocates of the system who
took the value of the time thus lost in
the busy farming season, at only so
cents per head, found that their figures
ran up into many millions of dollars
lost to the agricultural interests
through being obliged to send to the
village for the mails" Rural carriers
are shortly to be authorized to receive
and receipt for letters for distribution
as city carriers do now.

ARBOR DAY.

Lest they forget, Superintendent
McMahan calls attention of the school
authorities to the law relating to Arbor
Day. He hopes all schools will take
an interest in the occasion. He has
written as follows:
To the County Superintendents of Edu-
cation: The legislature, by All act, .ap-
proved February l6, 1893, has directed
"that the free public schools of this state
shall observe the third Friday in Novem
ber of each year as Arbor Day, and on
that day the school officers and teachers
shall conduct such exercises and engage
in the planting of such shrubs, plants and
trees as will impress on the minds of the
pupils the proper value and appreciation
to be placed on flowers, ornamental shrub
berry and shade trees"
Until the observance of this day in our
schools has become an established Gus
tom, it may be overlooked. unless special
ly brought to the attention OF the teach
ers. You will, therefore, nrge upon all
the teachers of your county to celebrate
the day in their schools.

- We have a private letter from one
of the numerous parties to the dispen-
say controversy, asking us to print
what he has been having to say on the
subject. We respectfully beg leave to
decline. We know nothing about the
matter except what we have been read
ing in the papers. Some of this stuff
we have believed and some we have
not; but we frankly confess that we
look with more or less suspicion on all
the parties engaged in the controver-
sy. To discriminate between them
would be extremely difficult but we
are sure that we are not going to sub
stitute such stuff as they are writing
for the matter we are now giving our

THE FACTS THE CASE.

The report of the Philippines com
mission, synopsized elsewhere, if &C
cepted as true-and it is difficult to see
how one can refuse to accept it, puts
the whole matter in new Highland
proves that many thoughtless squibs
on the subject have been unwarranted
OF all the reasonable objections that
have been urged against our occupa'
ton of the Philippines, the strongest
have been these: How can a liberty
loving civilized nation like the United
States be guilty of crushing and butch
ering people engaged in fighting fol-
liberty and independence. 2. The ira.
ditional policy of the United States as a
nation has been to remain at home and
attend to their own business and keep
out of foreign complications. We
should, therefore, assume no RESPONSE
bility with regard to any foreign coun-
try or people.

Aguinaldo is said to have been 80 ex.

ARulUdluO lS Sdlu W nave Uteu SO tx =
asperated at the landing of the Amer
leans that he wanted to attack them
at once; but deferred doing so for the
reason that he did not have sufficient
arms. Accordingly he and the men,
bers of his cabinet decided to wait un-
til the fall of Manila, when they CAL
culated Oh getting possession of the
arms and equipments of the Spaniards.
When the Americans began 10 invest
Manila, they encountered more or less
opposition from the Filipinos who had
already established themselves along
lines it was necessary for the Ameri.
cans 10 occupy. The Filipinos, how
ever, were made TO get out of the way,
which they did without attempting to
make trouble.
The Filipinos took no part whatever
in the attack at Manila OH August l3 {;
but after the city was taken marched
forward with the intention of looting II.
The American forces refused to al.
low them to enter the city. Then
Aguinaldo boldly demanded part of
the Spanish money that had been
captured, all the arms that had taken
from Spanish prisoners, the palace OF
Malacanan for himself, the right to
loot the churches of Manila, Paco and
Ermita. These demands were, OF
course, refused.
After the taking of Manila, the rela.
tions between the American and Fill.
pinos became more strained daily,
The Filipino soldiers were insistent ON
their rights to enter Manila, and the
Americans continued 10 hold them
back but without violence. After
awhile the Filipinos began to believe
that the Americans were towards. On
January %, a conference was held be.
tween Filipinos appointed by Aguinal-
do aud representatives appointed by
General Merritt, with view to coming
to some understanding as to the inten.
tions of the Filipinos aud the people OF
the United States. The Flliplnos were
unable or unwilling to give any def
mite statement; but the Americans
gave assurance that they would not
inaugurate any hostile act. After that
the Filipinos gave more trouble than
ever, and, finally, on the 4lh Of FEB
ruary, entered the American liues and
forced the Americans to fire on them,
after they had heedlessly iguored the
usual demand tu halt. The story oil
the trouble that followed and the re.
suit has already been published.
After this the Fillpiuos were given
to understand that the Americans
would guarantee all the reforms that
they had asked of the Spaniards and
more; but Aguiualdo reminded the
people of Spain's broken promises and
said that Americans were no more
worthy of belief, etc. From this on-
ward, he and other leading Fllipinos
did all they could 10 foment dis
coutent, and are keeping it up.
The commission insists that there
has not been a time since the arrival OF
Admiral Dewey in Manila, that the
Americans could withdraw even if such
a step had been desirable. 1t has been
the desire of Aguinaldo and his crowd
10 loot Manila and the country gener-
ally, and this country owes it not only
to foreigners, but to the friendly ma
tions, to protect them from the anarchy
that would certainly follow our with
drawal.
