"ln conclusion, | may be permitted
10 express the profound satisfaction
which feel in contemplating the
present at attitude of the Democratic
party. In 1896 was of those who
keenly feeling the recreancy of the
Republican party, was much In doubt
whether the memorable Democratic
convention rt Chicago In adopting its
splendid platform and nomination
w j. Bryan for the Presidency. was
actuated by an impulse or by pur-
pose. The magnificent achievements
at Kansas City have settled all DOS
sible doubt ON that subject. The
platform adopted not only rc-enacts
the principles of 1896. but in Ian
guage whose force, dignity and beau
ty have never been equalle in a sim
liar document, responds to the new
issues presented in the growth of
trusts, monopoly and the imperialic-
tic policy of administration by an
appropriate enunciation of those sub
lime doctrines yf hnman glory Of our
country and are the sure basis of the
ultimate happiness of mankind. And
again the duty of carrying the banner
or the cause has been committed 10
that tried and trusted hand whose
grasp has never weakened, whom no
fear can make to falter and no bur
den can dismay. The leadership of
Bryan, which could have redeemed a
bad platform, sanctified good one.
1t made memorable an unsuccessful
contest. 1t will crown victory with
imperishable splendor.
"With every sentiment of respect
and gratitude, remain.
"Most sincerely yours,
"CHARLEs A. TowNE.'

COTTON LETTERS.

New York, April 9-Hubbard Bros. &
Co. say The floods in the rivers of Texas
and the steadiness of the American mar
kets of Saturday caused an improvement
in the Liverpool market equal to ten to
twelve points in our quotations. A por-
ton of this advance was lost before the
close, but the strong statistical position
is never lost sight of for one moment by
The trade, and the markets been very
steady all day. Speculation, however has
been lacking and business with commits
sion houses has been small. The morning
weather map and the predictions for to-
morrow were favorable for the farming
preparations throughout the cotton belt.
Local traders feel the market is a pur-
chase on weak moments. English Board
of Trade returns for the first quarter Of
the year show falling off in the exports
of cotton yarns of 100000 pounds, and an
increase in the export of cloths of 1900
900 yards. This is a surprise in view of the
favorable Manchester advices, which have
come from Europe.
New York, April 9-Murphy & Co. say:
Cotton in Liverpool to-day rather better
than expected, spots advanced 1-l6d with
sales of 10000. Futures up to p. M stood
4-6id higher, but closed to 3-64d above
Saturdays closing. This market opened
about six points higher for the list but
it brought out more selling than buying,
Receipts continue small, but the APP
preaching holidays tends to check out
side speculation. Though the average
conditions over the cotton belt is favor
able for farm work the offers to sell new
crop months are less general and some

These hymns and poems, from Saint

the race. They live because they do ex-

music and song. They have given hope TO
millions who are dead, and will give con-

With each hymn or poem there is a
brief sketch of the author, and an account
of the circumstances under which it was

SPIRITS CLOSE oUIETER.
LESsENING OF THE DEMAND SHOWS
ITS EFFECT.

The Unofficial Change in Tone
Caused by the Withdrawal of
Large Buyers, Whose Demands
Have BEEN Filled-COtton Quiet
and UnchanGed-LocA and Tele-
graphic Markets.
Morning News Office, April s-The fea-
ture of the markets to-day was the slight
weakening of spirits turpentine, which
was unofiicially reported quieter late in
the day. This was due to lack in the
demand, which was, in turn, caused by
the withdrawal from the market of large
buyers, who obtained all the stuff they
wanted on Saturday. The rosin market
closed firm and unchanged, with nothing
of interest in the situation. The cotton
market closed quiet and unchanged, with
a very light demand for cotton from any
source New York closed steady at net
advance of and points. That market
ruled easier for a time, due to the fact
that the trade there believe the floods in
Texas will help the coming crop by en-
richng the soil more than they will dam
age it by overlooking. The following re-
sumo of the different markets will show
the tone and quotations az the close to-
day:
