COTTON IS ALL RIGHT.

The governments report Of 10, 100,
600 bales of cotton may work tempo
rary depression on the market, but it
is certain to react and assume its
former permanency as soon as the
first sharp effect wears Off
The demand for the staple is still
as keen and unyleIding among the
textile manufa ctor1es of the world.
There can be no dlmlnution IN the
needs of humanity for cotton fabrics.
Mills must have cotton. If they
cannot secure it at low prices, they
will have it at what the farmers de-
mand,
After all the situation lies within the
grasp of the producers, and spectators
eau rage as they may without other
than momentary effect on the price.
Farmers are admittedly in a better
condition to hold the residue of their
crop, and force the payment of full
value. The worlds demand is for 10, =
500, 600 bales.
Tt stands to reason, if we but stop
to think, that the governments re-
ports does not iniure the permanent
value of cotton. Let holders stand
fast for ten cents, and it will be paid,
when speculatators realize that no
false panic can move them from the
purpose of securing justice. Rome

1t Is most gratifying to note that the
young Governor of Kentucky has laid
aside partisan bitterness in his inau-
gural address, and is deYoting himself
entirely to State and local issues of
practical worth. He eschews politics
in his address, promising to administer
the execution of the executive Office Of
the State in spirit of fairness and
tolerance and sincerely desiring
to remove as far as possible all
friction and i'll feeling from the people.
May it be. Passion and hate have
dominated Kentucky public affairs too
long. Let peace rule. Nashville

EVOLUTION OF A NAME.

In the good little family Bible
It is written with a pen
That her given name Is Mary
An how things have changed since then
When She was a girl in kilties,
A kind gentleman one day
Asked what might her pretty name be,
And she said why, sir, it's May -
When she bloomed a sweet sixteener
Then she blOOmed a sweeter name,
And she thought there wasn't any
Sounded quite so well as ''MaYme'
But as there were names in plenty
It's not diftiC ult to see
Why "MaYme" longed for variation
And became a sweet Marie.
When Marie" ceased having birthdays,
Which is quite the modern style,
Then she took the name of MAJ e,
And held it or while.
Now she is a lone, lorn spinster
With a parrot and cat,
And the Bible name of Mary
Is the name she hearkens 1t.

A striking instance of the unwisdom
of the fee system of remunerating pub
lie officers is shown in the fact that
Comptroller CoIer, of New York city,
receives S42, 900 as his fee for collecting
the inheritance tax upon the estate of
the late Cornelius Vanderbilt. AS
their heirs paid the tax without ques-
ton, Mr.. Ooler gained his fee without
any exertion beyond that involved IN
making out receipt He gets $40, 900
without rendering the public any ser
vice whatever. It is a clear gift. Such
a system is indefensiblo and cannot en-
dure. The salary system is the only
proper one of paying lqDlic officers.
