THE ARMY BILLA FAILURE

In order to expedite the army
Reorganization, the bill which
passed the Senate at The last Sos
sion was reported with amend
ments in the House and was pass
ed In that form. 1t was intended
that it should then 60 10 a COM
miltee Of conferences. But the
amendments are so ext nsive as to
leave little of the Senate bill be
you'd the enacting clause. The
Senate cannot recognize it's own
child. So the present disp osition
of the military committee Of the
Senate is to treat it as a new bill
originating in the House and to
discuss aud amend it o. tnat basis.
This is wise. If the Senate
should substitute an entirely new
bill it might be wiser still. 1t is
not a mere party opinion but a
military fact that the Democratic
proposition TO extend the operas
tions of the present law for two
years would be a great deal better
for the army, a s we'll as for the
nation. The House bill has moth
ing to recommend it, even 10
toose who beIleve ii army ex-
pension, except as a plan for iu-
cfeasing the Presidential patron
age. 1t is calculated not for the
needs of the army but for the de-
mands of the lobby.
It perpetnates the political bu-
reaus TT Washington ana rather

SIZE OF THE COTTON CROP.

Experts sill disagree as to the
size of the cotton crop. Some say
it will go to 1O,25O.O CO tales,
while others say it will not exceed
$3.50. 900. The extremes are a
million bales apart. Talent rarely
is unanimous, and lever so over
the size Of a cotton crop. The
McFaddens of Philadelphia and
other bears will continue to pre-
dict a big outcome, but the weight
of opinion is against them.
liking one year with another it
is seen that jast about n half Of
the crop is malksted yDs-embar
/, and if we use this as a basis this
year, we find that the crop will
be 9,6OO,0 900 bales; and this is as
good an estimate, or rather calcus
lation, as can be made at present.
There are some who believe high
prices have hurried the crop to
market, and that over one half Of
it had been marketed by December
1. In 1896 there was marketed at
the close of November 54-83 per
cent. 1t is therefore possible that
the crop viii not turn out to BIZ
8, 900 600 bales. It is best to take
that aggregate as a maximum.
Such a crop is below consump.
ton. I. would be far below con.
sumption if the diplomats had no
managed to close China another
year TO the cotton goods trade
There seems to be no limit to tn
delays they r able to create Blu
even if China be wholly and alto
gether dropped from the problem
cotton should, and undonb'edl,
will, cross the 1O-cent mark, an,
stay across it, until ,at least al
can see that a big crop is assure
next year.
