The Coming imperialism.

Prof. Hadiey. president Of Yale uni
versity. in serious lecture before the
American Economic association at
Ithaca. y. Y, last month, points out
the radical changes taking place In our
Industrial and political system. and
among other things, utters the follow
ing prophetic language: Changes are
taking place in our matters political
as well as Industrial. Not only are our
municipalities giving examples OF COM
bined action In the way of public
works undreamed of q century ago,
but our nations as a whole are under
taking yet larger combinations in the
shape Of colonial empires.
"A federation Of states of approx
mately equal strength may govern one
another on principle Of separate pur-
suits of selfish interests. But when
we come to administer the affairs of
weaker nation, to which We don't
and cannot give political autonomy,
The evils Of the old system become 50
obvious, and the need OF ideals In poll
tics becomes so exaggerated, that even
those who in their past public Life
have scofied at the conception Of a
higher law than their own selffshness
are. under the new conditions. COM
PEELED by shame to appeal TO such q
higher law"

Quite RugiIsh, You Know.

Now that Great Britain is having
some difficulty in South Africa, the
protective mantle of the world is trans
ferred to the back OF the American
eagle. The dispatches announce that
the United States cruiser Montgomery
Is on a visit to Liberia In connection
with that visit an important step Is
under consideration II consists of q
joint request of the United States and
Great Britain upon France to define
the boundary between the territory she
claims and that claimed by Liberia. OF
course, the movement Is wholly due to
the contemplated encroachments OF
France upon the little republic, that is.
the apparent reason given the dear
people. Now for the real reason. Hon.
Arthur Ponsonby, managing director
of the Liberian Rubber syndicate, and
British subjects commercially interest
ed in Liberia, think that the republics
progress had better be under the pro-
lection of either the United States or
Great Britain. II any other syndicate
or British commercial interests are
liable to be jeopardized anywhere on
earth. the Mckinley administration
may be relied upon to wave the flag
over them, lest the progress OF the ma
ton OF. plundered people so prosperous
and progressive under the egis Of
trusts and syndicates be retarded The
spectacle of the United States heeom-
ing a universal robber and cannon ball
civilizer under the leadership OF Eng
land. 3 an alarming spectacle to the
diplomatists Of the world. but it is
painful to the American people who
have to pay the expenses while the
syndicates pocket the spoils.

COTTON ADVANCES
VERY MATERIALLY.
Prices Up a Quarter Cent From Last
Week.
JUMPED QUARTER CENT MONDAY
Frost in the West and Continued
Cold Weather, Together With the
Light Movement, Tends to Stiffen
Prices Considerably.

King Cotton awoke yesterday from
the Iethargy of the past few days, and
with bound went up quarter cent.
The foreign cables were very favor
able, and opening with net gain of
seventeen points contract cotton climb
ed steadily up the scale until January
touched ga at the close, the highest
point reached since the fearful slump
in October.
The market evidenced the greatest
firmness all day, and many here be-
lieve this to be but the beginning of
another very steady climb towards the
ten cents notch.
There will be no more 8 cents cotton
this season, very likely.
Buyers were actively in the market
yesterday, as on Saturday, and numer-
GUS Gales were made by Americus ware
housemen above cents. not a few
fancy bales bringing as much as 91a
cents easily.
And if it does not go higher from
this date there are many here who will
give up their belts as good prophets.
Just what particular agency caused
the unexpected squirt yesterday is not
known, unIe-s it was frost in Texas
However, receipts at the ports are fall
ing oft heavily, the mills are beginning
to buy, and everything now points to
higher prices.
Many farmers here still hold few
bales of cotton, some of them consid-
cradle portion of their crop, and these
viii reap the benefit of their patience
in waiting for the advance which they
felt conditions warranted, and which
is at hand.

Authorities Thoroughly Aroused Over
the Execution Of Officials.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 12-It is under
stood that the Chinese authorities al
Peking have been profoundly aroused
by some of the executions of Chinese
officials recently and they have made
known iii an official way their surprise
and regret that this should be done
while peace negotiations are going on.
1t appears that the execution of the
acting viceroy of Chin LII is looked upon
as peculiarly reprehensible This act
ing viceroy served during the absence
of Ii Hung Chang at Picking, occupying
his yamen, and in all ways executing
Earl Lis functions while he was con
Quoting the peace mission.
From the Chinese standpoint China il
herself proceeding to punish the guilty
persons and the question of punishment
is also being considered in the negotia
tions now progressing. Chinese officials
maintain, therefore, that this summary
execution of one of the highest officials,
while he is said to have been a noncom.
Blatant, is extraordinary and calculated
to STIR up animosity among the Chinese
people, which there is every desire I'd
avoid
