The Republican party has always
been the party of liberty. Emancipation
was it's first great work, the preserva-
ton of the Union, that the whole ma
ton might be free, was it's next task.
The emancipation of American LABOR
from tramp lodging houses, soup KIT
chens, and idleness was the benehcent
task of the same party under the matcn-
less leadership of William Mckinney.
The freedom of Cuba and Porto Rlco
from the most accursed government
that ever blasted fair land was It's
next great task, and tn moulding OF
the civic life of these long-oppresseo
people to harmonic with the best ira
d;tions of Anglo-saxon liberty is the
party's next task, which it assumes
as a solemn duty that can not with honor
be evaded, neglected or shifted.

COTTON CROP GUESSING CONDEMN
ED.

The Plcayune Of New Orleans takes the
posltion that the cotton trade would be
ever so much better on without any
suesses as to the sizo OF the cotton crop.
I. calls the estimates. that are made by
both the government and private parties.
gucsses.
But how would the spiuners get along
without any information respecting the
crong The guesscs are nothing more
than the best Information obtainabie as
10 the size OF the crop. II there were no
attempts made TO get this Information
spinner would be Ia the dark a. TO wheth-
or the supply Of cotton was large or small.
ana hence they would have nothing to
guide them in fixing the price they would
be willing 10 give. Even the cotton plant
ers would not know whether 60 sen when
the price Is low or "a hold for a better
price.
The talk Of doing away with estimates
or eucsscs az the Picayune calls them. IS
aH nonsense II would be difficult 20
carry on the cotton business with any de-
gree OF satisfaction without them. Il L.
true that tho estimates ore often con-
sldcrably out OF the way. but they AFFORD
the trade some guide Last year the gov
eminent happened 10 be close 10 the truth.
but It's estimates in some OF the years
have been wide of the facts. Last year
Mr. Ncnl whose estimates have more
influence with the trade than those OF
any other private individual. declared
that the crop was not short one. lie
was mistaken. and he was pretty harshy
criticised This year he takes a view
opposite from that OF the government
and holds that the crop win not be below
10000 bales nor above $4,000 bales
The governments estimate is 100000
bales This year Mr.. Neilrs estimate
aud the popular estimate arc pretty close
together. Last year the government
estimate aud the popular estimate were
in harmony.
This may be one OF the years in which
the government is wrong. The popular
estimate Is as likely 10 be correct as the
governments. i D. certain that there Is
not a general disposition 70 accept the
governments estimate. though owing TO
the fact that Il was close 10 the TRUTH
/ last year this years figures VIA have
good deal OF influence on the market.
II Mr.. Neiirs estimate should prove 10
be near the truth this ycat. his reputa-
ton as an estimator OF the slzc Of the
cotton crop would be re-cstabiishcd. His
mistake Of last year would be. 10 a great
extent. overlooked.

A TnoUnI,ED Town.


The small town OF OTIS. Maine. Is IN
sroube-at least The Inhabitants thereof
are. Tho town Is in debt. ana It's clu-
zcns are showing no disposition 10 pay its
obligations. The people 10 whom the
debts are duo want their money. and they
arc taking steps 10 get IL. The law pro-
yidcs that when there Is no money in mu-
nicipal treasures TO meet obligations the
property Of citizens may DO taken for that
purpose.
A few days ago an attorney secured
a judgment OF 500 against the town OF
Otis. and when he undertook 10 collect It
ne found no money in its treasury lie
seized the oxen OF one OF the citizens AMI
a number ~ cows OF another and took
them 90 a nearby town and sold them al
public cutlery. The citizens whose oxen
and COWS were taken naturally feel ag-
grieved But worse Is In store for the
town. other creditors. finding out how
they can collect what Is due them. are
proceeding TO seize the property OF other
citizens. ono Of the towns creditors has
seized the farm OF one OF the citizens, and
has advertised Il for sale. Other citizens
are expecting that their property will be
seized. and consequently they are in a
panicky condition. OF course those whose
property has been taken have their rem
edy. They can sue the town. and. hav-
ing obtained judgment. can seize property
OF other citizens. and thus the thing Gun
be kept up until all the properly In the
town has been seized and SOLD
II would seem 10 be the wiser plan for
the citizens 20 set together and assess
themselves Tor the amount of the towns
debts and pay them. II they don't do
that the chances are that. within a short
time. they will have no property. Every
time a suit rs brought there are costs
which are added 70 the original debt
The trouble IN which the town OF Otis
finds Itself should be an example to towns
all over the country which are inclined
10 spend more money than their incomes
warrant There arc towns which are
drawing on the future for all sorts OF inn
provements and are spending money with
a free hand to pay salaries TO henchmen
and heelcrs who have a pull with those
VINO arc IN power And this thing viii
continue II those who have something at
stake permit those who have lluie or
nothing to run municipal affairs. There
are very few cities IN the country IN
which taxes are not much greater than
they should be- aud in which there arc
not many moro place holders than shere
Is any need FOR. The tendency Is 10 IN
crease expenses an the timc-to buy what
is not needed IN order TO favor some one
who has a pun With the powers that be.
or 10 make places for those who have done
q hule political work or are in a position
to control a few votes. In view OF the
many ways IN which the public money
Is uselessly spent-uselessly as far as the
public interests are conccrned--it is not 70
be wondered at that the rate OF municipal
taxation IS so high.

one OF the strongest points In tho
speech which Senator Clay OF this state
made against the ship-subsi1y bill IN the
senate on Tuesday, was that il provides
big subsidies for swift mail carrying
steamers and gives very little to the slow
steamers which carry the bulk OF the
frolghts II bounties arc 20 be given At al
to steamship lines they should a. stated
by the president OF the Great Northern
Railroad. Mr. James y. llHl, be basod
upon froights. and not upon speed. IN iis
tide che ship-subsldy bin prefends 20 DO
in the interests OF the farmers and man
ufacturers. IN that Il BE- proposed 10 create
a merchant marine that viii do the ocean
carrying business Of ,hls country. Swift
steamers do very little Of this business.
The most OF q Is done by steamers that
are not noticeable for speed.
There SIS no doubt that there Is strong
sentiment among the people in favor OF
having their ocean carrying trade done
Ia ships which are owned by Americans.
and which carry the American nag. II
O. not believed. however. that tho ship
subsidy bill would accomplish that OH
iect II q should become a law. IL would
bring about the building Of a few swift
steamers and that Is oil Il would do.
The only why that great American
oocan-golng ncot will ever bo created r.
by removing the duties from shlpouliding
materials. or by repeating our anliquated
navigation laws. II duties were taken on
OF shlpbuilding materials ship builders
would Immediately discover that they
could build ships as cheaply as they can
bc built elsewhere in the world. Indeed,
there Is good reason for thinking that
they can build thCm for less money. IL
Is a fact that American locomotives,
bridges. machinery and. IN fact. all
thinea thar are made OF iron or steel are
cheaper ia this country than In any 9th
cr American locomotives are sold ia
every country &. the world and American
bridges are Ia demand wherever there Is
any civilization. There So no more SKIN
required 70 build a ship than TO build a
locomotive. That being the case. why
should not this country build ships FOR
the world as we'll as locomotives ana
bridges?
Tho shlp-subsldy bin may get through
tho Senate. but It Is doubtful ~ 1t viii
got a majority IN the House. The more
che country thinks about It tho more
IL is troubled by a suspicion that 10 Is .

people that they ought TO be taxed ss'coo'-
