New York. January 23.-Ths cotton market
was dull and undressing today. The trad
ing was mostly professionals and changes
were narrow. Tho dullness was due TO un-
favorable advices from the English market

British had suffered another setback In South
Africa aud lack OF business from outside
sources. When the market opened but little
resistance was mado to hait-hearted efforts on
the part OF the shorts to dislodge long cot

A wisely conducted newspaper is

up with view to variety Help
yourself to whatever you wish and
do not condemn the entire spread
because pickles and onions may be
included. If you do not relish them
somebody else will find them pala-
table, Be generous and broad
enough to select gracefully such
reading matter from the newspaper
as will be agreeable TO your taste.
You, as an individual, are not com :
PEELED to swallow everything. We
do not all think alike on every
subject; and it is a good thing as
it makes more of a variety, and
variety is the spice of life"

Our Treaty With Japan

Important changes in the rela-
lions between this country and ia
pan will be inaugurated when the
new treaty goes into effect July 18th
nezt. This treaty was entered into
about two years ago, but its opera
ton was suspended until this year
in order to allow time for the PEG.
pie of the two countries to adjust
themselves to the changes enacted.
The treaty abolishes the right of
what is called in law extra territor-
iality. Hitherto lawsuits affecting
American citizens have been tried
by the American consular courts,
Hereafter such suits will be ought
in the native courts, on par with
native cases.
The treaty also opens up the in
terror of Japan to American trade,
and invites our capital and enter
prise, Now an American cannot
hold real property. All the mission
AIRY property is held in the name of
the natives, and not of foreigners.
Hereafter Americans will have the
privilege of holding land, and, with
this as a basis, large investments
will doubtless lie made, as the in.
terror Of Japan is rich in possihili-
ties.--The Household.

The Chinese trouble begins to
loom up as a gigantic affair and is
causing grave concern, almost alarm
throughout the so-called civilized
world.
Russia and England have been
trying to get a slice Of the Mongo-
liam empire for many years, have
been intriguing fora long time with
that object in view, and finally Eng
land induced the United States to
'spress the button" to sopen the
door Well, the door seems to have
been opened, to take in all foreign
ers and then coop them up and kill
them, for fear they will secure Il
foothold and drive out the natives
through the "open door Many
thousands Of lives have already
been lost. and many thousands
more will no doubt, be sacrificed,
and all through greed Of expansion,
through greed OF conquest, through
greed Of gold
Our country had better take a
timely warning, and more carefully
guard the tenets Of the Monroe doc
trine and look after the interests of
orr own people. The present war in
China illustrates the old time con-
tention that the missionaries should
take q rifle as well as a bible.

mer time she is particularly busy
preserving fruit, and, curiously
enough, dries her currants in a

rafters. The presence of this un.
