HAPPY COTTON MEN

The HERALD recently published &
special dispatch on which d caption
was placed advising Texans to "hold
on to their cotton" The dispatch
showed why an increase in the price
was bound to come, and the increase
b as come. On the New Orleans market
last week cotton sold at SIC pei
pound for middling, which is equival-
eut to S42. so per bale, or an advance Of
$3.50 Per bale compared with the
prices ruling during the greater part
of last season.
The question now uppermost in the
| cotton states is, "Will pre-ent prices
represent about the limit of the ad-
| vance, or will values go even higher"
There are, of course, says the New Or
leans Picayune, some cautious people
W no argue that present prices are so
very satisfactory to producers that
they will be content to unload the bal
ance OF their crops; hence such persons
look rather for gradual declension
than further advance. On the other
hand, however, the vast m iority in
the cotton t. ade now look for q further
improvement, not few predicting nine
cents per pound In the not distant fu-
ture.
Although there has been q material
inn Improvement In the price for cotton,
1t is said that the manufactured goods
trade, both at home and abroad, Is
very prosperous, and tn st there is
still q good profit. even with cotton at
current prices. With trade SO good, it
is reasonable to expect that consump-
ton will continue on a very liberal
scale, Notwithstanding the increased
cost of raw cotton. 1t is admitted
that stocks of cotton in foreign spin-
ners' bands are very small, and sur
plus stocks 10 Liverpool are also com
% only light, while the amount aflost is |
Such being the case, 1t is reasonable |
to expect an active demand for cotton |
as long as spinners find it possible to
turn out yarns and cloths at profit,
no matter what the price of the raw
material may be.
Because of this admitted strength of
the statistical position, many cotton
men Of sound judgment look for even
higher prices in the Immediate future,
no matter what later on may
occur.
Every advance, even of a fraction ola
cent per pound, means m or e.money for
Texas, and the prospects of a further
. 1vance are excellent

THE REPUBLICANS TO THE
ELECTION RESULTS
'ONE-THIRD oF.THE VOTES CAST
All of Them Were Received by the
Man Who Is the Central Figure
In the Contest Now
Being Waged.

In view of the fact that the central
figure of the contest now being waged by
the republicans to overthrow the ex-
pressed will of the voters of ST. Paul, is
M ]. Bell, formerly alderman Of the
Sixth ward, it may be well to recall that
in the election held the first day of last
May, he received but a little over 200
votes. M. J. Moriarty, his Democratic
opponent, had plurality of over 700,
and as there was a third candidate in the
held, the vote for Bell was about third
of the vote in his constituency. In the
face Of this Bell now has the nerve to
try and defeat the will of the people, aid
ed and abetted by the Pioneer Press.
The voters of the Sixth ward knew
what they wanted to do with the man
who is now trying, by a technical flaw,
supposed to exist in the charter, to over
throw the plain purpose of the plain peo-
pie of the community. This is the
standing of Bell i'll his own community:

SINGERS OF OTHER DAYS

Rossini's Barber of Seville has been
5 added to the new edition of operas pub
fishing by G. Schirmer. The opera Is
given in vocal score, with the recitation
and accompaniment written out, an Eng
lish version by Natalia Macfarren, a
portrait of the company and an intro
ductory essay by Mr.. Krehbiel. The
Typographical outfit is most admirable
The introductory essay tells the story of
the composition Of the opera and it's first
performances in Rome, London Paris
and New York, and discusses Rossini' 9
position in music eighty years ago. In
1t, also, we find the following bit Of gos-
sip touching the '1esson sCene:'
1t was an accident which gave to 'Il
Barbiere" the essentials of a scene which
is oftener in the minds of 5zthe public
when the opera is chartered about in the
drawing room than any other episode
In it. When Rossini wrote his opera the
activity of publishers was not what it is
today. An opera might have hundreds of
performances without getting into print.
Publication, in the modern sense, did not
at all enter into the negotiations between
manager and composer. The latter deliv.
cred his manuscript at a stated time,
and when the opera had been prepared
conducted prescribed number of repre-
sensations. Then for a period the work
belonged to the theater, in the archives
of which the manuscript score and parts
were preserved. Composers did rot write
for immortality, but for the stagione-the
season-and were happy when a work
OutliVed the carnival, the primavera or
the Quaresma, for which it had been
written. There was nothing strange,
therefore, if entire manuscripts or por-
tons Of manuscripts disappeared from
the theatrical lumber room. So it hap
pened that by the time that RosSini's
''Barbiere'' became a part of the musical
assets of the world two of its numbers
had been lost. They were the overture,
for which an earlier work by the same
composer has been substituted, as has
already been explained, and trio, which
filled the incident now spoken of as the
Lesson Scene Very welcome, indeed,
has the hiatus caused by the loss of the
trio been to the Rossinis from the early
days, for it has enabled them all to in
teTpolate the piece or pieces in which
they appear to the best advantage.
