THE AMERICAN GENTLEMAN.

He is not found anywhere else, and
+, you don't always recognize him at a
glance when you meet him here, for he
may be a rough-looking customer with
trousers tucked in boots and a gun
| in his belt, out in the uncouth west. In
| fact, it was out there, as an Oklahoma
'rusher" that he was last seen.
At the registration booths 10, 900 men
and women stood in sunlight above 100
degrees waiting at El Reno to get their
names on the registration lists, which
will bring farms to the lucky ones In
the drawing of the 10Th inst.
Many had travelled across the country
to take their chances in the ru3h. The
whitening heat at last told on the Wo-
men. Many of them tainted.
In any other country in the word
the fallen would have been set aside,
and lost their places In the line. But
these were Americans. They hadn't ac-
auired the fine art of bowling and smirk-
ing before women. 1t was not in their
line. Most of them would have been
absurdly awkward at it, and would
nave been scarecrows in full dress.
They were simply Americans. They
hastily secured restoratives," says an
account, 'for the unconscious
Those who were able to resume their
places found then waiting. No n
mad attempted to :, iZe them. 30 IA 0f
tee Women were un?l,e to stat: w
again or lorger 20 bear the bligl.ing
blaze of the sun. lLstead of bid 1i3g
these give up their hopes, the men
filled their places with stalwart fellows
who had already registered for them
selves and who then marched on in
the line to register the names of the
women unable to register themselves.
Unless a technicality defeat that gen.
erous purpose no woman in that 10000
legally qualified lost her chance to draw
a farm on the 29th."
Superficial polish is not the American
gentleman's strong suit, but he is the
real thing all the way through, as the
american m who has travelled
abroad and met the highly polished but
frequently spurious European article
can testify.

A FOOLISH OLD BODY.

Old Mother Partisan of Fourteenth
street, because it might hurt the
party" to expose the administrations
underhand warfare on n of the brav-
est officers of the navy, last Saturday
suppressed the most important news
item of the day-the public protest to
President Mckinley of Gen. Felix Ag-
nus OF the Baltimore American, one of
the leading Republican papers of the
country, against the Interpolation in
a historical text book for use in the
United States Naval Academy, of a
scurrilous attack Upon Admiral Schley,
the hero of Santiago, who was therein
designated as insubordinate, a liar, a
caitiff and a coward. Old Mother Par
tisan also suppressed other Associated
Press dispatches from Washington
bearing on the same important sub
ject.
1t shows how much stronger is the
Old Girls ~partisanship than her nose
for news and her common sense. The
Schley controversy has suddenly be-
come a national sensation, and the An
Gent Dame, so jealous and full OF
spite against her contemporaries who
get ahead of her, has only herself to
blame that she must take 1t up, II she
takes 1t up at all, two or three days be-
hind every other paper in the coun-
try.

VI.

According to Washington dispatches
the reform as to s~econd-class matter
which is expected to result from the
postmaster generals recent orders, will
effect a saving of $12. o0o, 900 to $20,ooo,-
900 annually.
II this estimate proves to be correct,
the deficit in the p~ostofice department
will be changed to a surplus OF $S,0oO,-
600 to $4,000, 900.
This leads the Chicago Chronicle to
emark tina it is very strange it has
only just been discovered that the post
master general has it in his power to
effect so great a saving without the as
sistance OF Congress. 1t suggests that
the abuses under recent postmasters
general have been wholly administra-
tive.
However that may be. th1s reform u

Hubbard Bros. & CO.'S cotton Letter.

New York, Sept. 27.-In Liverpool
this morning the strength of the Sep
TENDER position and the small amount
of cotton pointing toward their market
brought a sharp reversal of opinion.
While spinners continue to take less
than their estimated consumption, they
are not willing to pay the merchants
any premium for distant deliveries.
Merchants have had such a poor inn
port basis for the past two years that
they are not willing to go on import
ing without profit in hand. Were
trade good this condition would GER
tainly bring about a sharp rally and
should anything occur to rouse the
spinners it will do so now. Our mar
ket was firmer from the opening, es-
pecially on the nearby deliveries, wlIic
were in demand. There were~not many
new orders, but quite enough to estab
lish an advance on the basis of Liv-
erpool arbitrage brokers were doing lit
tie. The local feeling continues to act
on the theory of buying on all weak
markets.

SEA ISLAND COTTON.

General activity prevailed in the sea
island cotton market during the week,
due TO the demand from exporters for
cotton for September clearances. Ow-
ing to the urgent nature of this de.
mand both old and new cotton was
taken, and at prices which possibly
could not have been obtained under diff
ferent circumstances. Extra choice to
fancy Georgias sold around 10000,
while extra choice to fancy F'loridas
brought 21Q22c. Owing to the lateness
of the crop predictions are heard that
prices may continue at a satisfactory
basis to holders. as spnners may de-
sire supplies after the delay. Frost is
the important consideration, however,
and pending killing precipitation the
market may be subject to much uneer-
tainty. The movement for the week

lean to date is 1,O11 900 bales, against
5SSO0O last year. Judging from sur
race indications, the situation statis-
ucally is bullish, yet upon investigation
we ascertain that the spot demand is
the smallest ever known in September
for many years; therefore, with spin
ners absolutely Indifferent and buy
ing only for their wants, the lightness
of the movement is easily explained.
Stocks in the meanwhile have accumu-
lated heavily in the interior owing to
the lack of demand. Holders, however,
claim to be confident of getting higher
prices in the future, while spinners
contend that trade conditions are so
unsatisfactory as to prevent their lay
ing in supply on the present basis.
In other words, it resolves itself into
a fight between producers and consum-
ers. If trade continues bad and spin
ners buy sparingly, then the probable
ity is values will seek a lower level.
IT, however, a brisk demand for spots
were to set in with the bullish senti-
ment existing a sharp advance might
materialize. Operators are generally
in favor of the article and expect the
monthly bureau to give a general av-
erage condition lower than last year.
