j II Parker & Co, members of
the New York Cotton Exchange,
have flied suit in the United States
Circuit Court here against w A
Moore, q farmer Of Spartan burg
County, for ~, 1871, alleged to
be duo on cotton contracts bought
in October, 1900. In the COM
plant 1T Is alleged that the brokers
had orders from Moore to buy
200 bales of cotton for future
delivery and that SOM after the
purchase the market began to de-
/ cline and the firm was forced in
the suit. The answer fled by
the defendant states that it was
merely a gambling venture, which
was immoral, illegal, contrary to
public policy and against the laws
of South Carolina The claim ef
the New York brokers is denied.
The case is interesting to specu-
lators and others. The complaint
of Parker & Co. sets forth that in
October the defendant, Moore,
requested the firm to buy the l.,
200 bales, to he delivered as fol.
lows: 400 bales in January, 800
bales in March and 500 bales in
Nav, of this year, the purchase
to be made according to the rules
of the New York Cotton Exchange.
The plaintiffs alleged that they
entered the market and bought,
the defendant agreeing to take
the prices which were then on and
to pay any loss that might accrue
to tho plaintiff. After tho pur-
chase the market dropped. Prices
went down at rapid rate until
the contracts had lost 81, 333.71,
which sum the plaintiffs claim
they were bound to advance and
did advance to those from whom
the cotton was purchased. In the
meantime notifying the defendant
and asking him to make good. At
his failure to put up the plaintiffs
claim that they were forced to
close and sell the contracts. AS
a result of this transaction they
allege that they are now due the
amount named from Moore, as
we'll as interest from October "a,
1900.
In the answer filed by Mr..
Stanyarne Wilson for w. A.
Moore, the defendant, it is alleged
that prior to October the parties
had dealings and business transac-
tions in NJ wise, different from
those of the month of Octo Der, al |
of which, it is alleged, were gamb-
ling transactions, immoral, illegal,
contrary to public policy and
against the statute law of South
! Carolina, to wit, Article 2, Chap
ter SO, Revised Statutes of 1898.
The answer goes on to say that
the apparent contracts of purchase
were not real ones, but mere
covers or guises for the illegal
contracts; that the business rela-
tion of plaintiff to defendant was
as broker of the New York
Cotton Exchange, to bring togsth-
er the defendant end other dealers
on said Exchange for the sole
purpose of making illegal con-
tracts and for the personal gain of
the brokers, who realize SO on
every 100 bales; that the plain
tiffs were particeps criminis in
such gambling in the rise and fall
| of the price of cotton, and that in
this the plaintiffs realized large

Kruger? Victoria reigned for more
than three score years, and there was
not day during that long rule when
innocent blood did not flow to swell
the tide which saps her throne.
| There is Ireland In AZ and '4S two
million Irish persisted of hunger, when
as Blaine proved, more than eight
times the food necessary to support the
whole population of the island was ex-
ported to feed British lust. There is
India and the Sepoy atrocities. Men
were blown from lannon's mouths.
There are the Indian famnes in a
land of plenty. There is the Egyptian
campaign and the fate of !Aribi Pasha,
There is the opium war; undertaken
against a peaceful empire for the sake
of securing the right to sell vile drug
There is the devilish ingenuity with
which Queen Victoria's agents went to
the Chinese empire to teach the peculiar
uses of the opium to an innocent peo-
pie. Throughout it all is the constant
agony of Ireland, not alone in famine,
but day by day and year by year, more
than thirty coercion acts soiling her
annals, hundreds upon thousands de-
ported, so many prisoners at times that
jails could not contain them; and then
beyond that is the constant drip of
blood from innocent people who never
knew the English until they felt their
bayonets; such is the record, not day
in her long reign that is not stained
with innocent blood, not a day when
her legions were not engaged in but
cherry.
Gentle reader, do not pooh-pooh
these assertions. If the facts are con-
trary there is no doubt but that the
Freeman's Journal will gladly open it's
columns to show the proof of peace
and benignity. The bloodiest annals
of the Roman empire are clean and
wholesome beside the past three score
years of Queen Victorias reign.
She is personally responsible for the
South African war, because it can be
proved that her personal influence open
ed the way for Cecil Rhodes to Berlin.
Her private life is her own concern.
There is one consolation in the dire
full picture. The drain upon the finan-
cial resources of her empire prohibits
King Edward VII. from procaiming
his son Prince of Wales. The British
treasury cannot afford the 10000
pounds annuity which goes to the
prince With the title, nor the $1,000
pounds to support his family, nor the
10000 pounds for the Princess of
Wales. Therefore he remains Duke of
Cornwall and York, and must exist
upon the seventy or eighty thousand
pounds wrung from the resources of
the poor Cornish miners.

Disraeli and Whalley.

After describing Charles Newdegate
and Mr.. Spooner, as two representa-
tives of the No Popery theory in the
House of Commons, Mr.. Justin Nc
earthly, in his "reminiscences" refers
to Mr.. Whalley in the following terms:
Later than Spooner's time Mr.. New
degate had to bear with a sort of rival
~ or cooperation on the part of Nh.
Whalley. There was more of the &C.
centric about Whalley than about
Spooner or Newdegate, and the House
was disposed to chaff him good deal.
One night, when the Conservatives
were in office, Whalley put long ques-
ton to Disraeli, demanding to know
whether the government had received
any recent information with regard to
certain Vaccinations of the Jesuits
against the security of the Established
church in England, and whether the
government We're taking any steps to
resist these insidious enterprisea Dis
raeh arose, and leaning on the table in
front of him, began, with a manner of
portentous gravity and a countenance
of almost funereal gloom, to give his
answer. Her Majesty's ministers he
said, had not been informed of any alb
solutely new Vaccinations of the Jesu-
it's, but they would continue to watch,
as they had hitherto watched, for any
indication of such insidious enterprises.
One of the favorite Vaccinations of
the Jesuits,' he went on to say, with
deepening solemnity, had always been
understood to be plan for sending
into this country disguised emissaries
of their own, who, by expressing ex-
travagant and ridiculous alarm about
Jesuit plots, might bring public deri-
sion ON the efforts of the genuine sup
porters Of the state church. He would
not venture to- say whether the honora-
BILE member had knowledge of any such
plans as that but here roar of
laughter from the whole House rem
dered further explanation impossible,
and Disraeli colnposetlly resumed his
seat'

"1n some quarters there have devel-
oped beliefs shortening the duration of
hell. 1t was not many years ago that
Catholics were made the target of 1idi-
Guile because of their belief in purga-
tory. Now some Of the other denomi-
nations have abolished hell and have
accepted purpatory."
In conclusion the bishop said that the
positive beliefs of Christians, including
Methodists, Baptists, Presbyterians
and others, are Catholic beliefs. Cath
olics," said he, look OH with regret
when person abandons any of those
beliefs and drifts towards agnosti-
