AGuINALpo REAPPEARs.

With Gen. OTIS departure from Ma
Mia Aguinaldo reappears. AS nothing had
been heard of him for quite a long time
or had left the Philippines. According to
dispatches received from Gen. Young he
is with Gen. Tino. one Of the insurzent
generals, in the north OF Luzon. Gen.
Tino and Aguinaldo have a very consider
able force and Gen. Young is calling fol
reinforcements, as he proposes to attack
them before the rainy season begins.
IL looks very much as II IL were the
purpose Of Aguinaldo to give our wide
ly scattered army good deal OF trouble
during the rainy season. He has no or
ganized army and 1t is probable that he
Is without guns and ammunition sufficient
to equip a large force. Still, he can keep
the country in a state Of unrest and make
1t difficult to establish civil government
in the towns.
1t is worthy Of notice that the Senate
does not seem inclined TO consider the
Spooner bill, which provides for civil gov
eminent in the Philippines. When this
bill was framed it was thought by the
Philippines would be pacihed long before
this. In fact, when Congress met IN De-
cenber IL was the understanding in Re-
publican circles that 1t was only ques-
ton of few weeks when the Filipinos
would be willing to accept our rule and
the work of establishing civil government
could be begun. 1t is evident from the
dispatches which are coming from Ma
Mia that u will be some time yet before
there Will be any chance for civil gov
eminent.
1t would be folly to undertake to estab-
fish civil government in the islands be-
fore the conditions were such as would
justify the opinion THAI 1t would likely be
successful 1t is plain that at present
civil officers would not be able to re-
main in the provinces, unless sustained
by soldiers. The garrisons are being at
tackled all the time, and several quite
severe engagements have been fought
within the last two or three weeks. If
the Spooner bill should become law and
the President should send lot of civil
officials to the islands che great majority
of them would not be able TO go outside
of Manila as long as existing conditions
last, unless accompanied by detach-
ment of troops Such a state of affairs
would furnish campaign material against
the Republican party. There are very
good reasons therefore why the Republi-
cans are not urging the passage of the
Spooner bill.

FACTS ABOUT THE PRICE OF COT
TON

According to Mr.. Z. ]. Redd.ng, director
of the Georgia Experiment Station It Is
not fact that the price OF cotton is al
ways lowest in the early part Of the sea-
son when cotton is marketed IN the great
est volume. The inference from this state
ment is that he Is not in full sympathy
with the cotton farmers convention
which 10 to meet at Maoou this week, to
discuss plans for holding back cotton in
the early part of the season. 1t is 70 be
presumed that Director Redding gave this
subject very careful consideration before
expressing his views In regard to il, be-
cause, on account of the position he oc-
cuples, what he says will have a great
deal of influence with cotton growers His
views are SGT forth In an article which ap-
pears in the current number of Cotton
In the course of his article he says:
1t is very prevalent belief that the
markets have been manipulated" in the
interests OF spectators and spinners, and
that the producers, as a rule, do not get
the benefit of the law of supply and de-
mand. AS already intimated. the. writer
is not an adept in the arts of market
manipulation, but 1t appears to him that
the prevalent belief that the market is
kept GOWN uhtli the crop is OUT Oh inc
hands of the producer is without founda-
ton in fact and is opposed to reason.
Statistics Of the New York markets do
not show that prices are less during the
early fan and winter. when the crop Is
still In the hands of farmers, and that
prices are put up Just before planting
time in order to induce the farmers to
plant largely
In December 1897, 1 made a careful
compilation from Shepperson's Cotton
Facts with a view TO bringing out this
particular feature of the New York cot
ton market. The period under review COW
cred thirteen years, or from 1SS4-S5 to 1896
Z, inclusive. A table was prepared which
showed at a glance the price of middling
cottons in New York on a given day of
each month of the year for the thirteen
years Striking the average of prices for
these dates on each month for the entire
period. the result was as follows:

Looked ON with suspicion.

Cards are not played as much on the
cars as they used to be-" said. the COM
mercial traveller, according to the Roches-
ter Post Express. "a few years ago il
was a common sight TO see three or four
games. whist, euchre, poker, seven-up go
ing on in car; and wherever four or five
drummers were gathered together there
was sure to be lively game of draw in
progress. Suburban trains were turned
into whist clubs, and morning and night
the commuters were engaged in a rubber
But all this has been changed. Nowadays
1t is the hardest thing in the world to
get up a game of any kind in a train. Ask
a stranger IL he would like to take a hand
at whist or euchre and he will freeze you
with a suspicious look. And, what is
worse, he is entirely justified in his sus-
piclons. In the last ten years the rail-
roads of the country have been the heav-
lest field for gamblers bunco men and
short card experts. They have worked this
field to the limit from New York 10 Cal
ifornia and Vermont to Florida. They
have worked all kinds of fiim-ham games.
until now 1t is almost impossible for a
man to fash a deck of cards in the smok-
ing compartment of q Pullman without
the atmosphere growing a dozen degrees
colder. A man who has been bit once
doesn't care to have the experience re-
peated"

Grant Aliens sense of Justice.

Mrs. Grant Allen. wife of the late au-
thor, Grant Allen, will open a book store
in Hanover Square, London, in the In
terest of bookmaking, says the Philadel-
phia Post. Mrs. Allen was devoted to her
husband and her writings upon his life
and work. upon which she is labo ring, will
be a valuable addition to the data all
ready in print of this many-sided man.
A peculiar incident concerning one of
Mr.. Aliens scientific articles illustrated
his nearness to his animal friends He had
written a paper upon insects and bugs
and sent it to his publisher. In it he min
utely described both the bad and good
sides OF his subjects. Several days after
he had dispatched the manuscripts he
wrote TO the publisher:
Return at once proofs of chapter on
bugs. I have found out that 1 have done
one of them an injustice. I dreamt about
him all one night after / mailed the mat
ter to you, and he looked at me with re-
proachful eyes ard said l had made him
out worse than he was In looking up his
history from a later source l have found
out that he was right"

Average go.

The following note was appended to the
table from which the above column of av-
erages was taken: I'm the last column,
which gives the average price on the same
day of the same month for each of the
thirteen years, the most noticeable fact
is that the highest average price by
months was ON Sept. 7; and the lowest was
on Nov. q the difference being LOO cents,
which is the average range from the high
est to the lowest prices of each season for
thirteen years"
The following note was also added:
THE highest price in thirteen years was
on June T. 1S90-1225. The lowest price in
the thirteen years was on March l, 1856
5.56 cents.
THE highest price in each year was
reached: In September, one time; in Oc-
tober. one time; in November, three times;
in January, one time; in March, two times;
in April, one time, and In August, three
times"
So 1t seems by no means clear that the
market has been so manipulated as to Of
fer the lowest prices when the bulk of the
crop was in the hands of the farmers and
the highest prices in the spring, when
farmers have sold most of their holdings,
and as an inducement to planting a large
area.
The foregoing statements are against the
very general belief among cotton growers
that. owing to the fact that cotton is
rushed to market in the earlier months
of the season, the price of it falls far be-
low what 1t would be if cotton were held
back and permitted to reach the markets
only in such volume as would keep the
supply less than the demand. May it not
be that this belief is to a certain extent
an erroneous one and that the price is
not really controlled by the cotton which
comes in sight early in the season, but
by information as to what the size of the
crop is likely to be? If 1t is understood that
the crop will be a large one the price Is
likely TO be low, even though the port re-
ceipts are light. while on the other hand
II It is believed that the crop will be a
small one the price advances even though
the amount of cotton reaching the ports
is large
Director Redding has doubts about the
success of an effort to keep up
the price of cotton by holding
II back at the beginning of the
season, or at any other time. In his opin-
ion the price Of cotton depends upon the
size of the crop. 1.-THE true policy of the
farmer, in the judgment of many quiet
thinkers and close observers is" he says
ito reduce the cost of production 1t is
much more profitable to cultivate a few
acres in such a way that the yield per
acre will be large than to cultivate a great
many acres and get very little cotton In
other words, he believes in the intensive
system of farming. and also in diversified
| farming.
nd a n
truth in what he says. 1t looks, however.
as If the cotton growers, at least in this
state. intend this season TO give the policy
of holding back cotton trial The belief
is quite general that If that policy had
not been adopted to a certain extent last
fall the advance in the price of cotton
would not have been as great as 1t was
| early In the son.
