NEW YORK COTTON.
CBv the Associated Pressl

New York Aug. 22.-The cotton mar
ket opened steady with prices l to 6
points lower following the lead of Liv-
erpool, which market was down 2h to
3ia points. Europe, the South and local
bears were active sellers on the opening
decline and were made doubly confident
by the issuance of some $4,000 August
notices, the belief being that this cotton
would act as loadstone upon the mar
ket The first sale of August was at S37,
or points off from the final bid of last
night. But just when everything seem
ed to favor the shorts Wall Street entered
the ring as an aggressive buyer of the
winter months, while we'll known spot
cotton house bid August up with a rush.
1t later appeared that the latter firm had
stopped" goodly portion of the notices
and intended shipping the cotton to Eu-
rope report quickly gained circula
ton that Philadelphia interests had put
out the August notices for manipulatory
purposes, hoping to weaken the market
and the shorts in September to advant-
age. But after selling at S37 August
worked straight up to S31 and September
bounded up to S13. Finding the market
here strong, Liverpool turned right about
close there was very steady and the
early loss was reduced to one and one
half to- two points. The commission
houses were quick to follow the lead OF
the Wall Street bull contingent and
bought freely. On the rise very bullish
crop reports reached the ring from Geor-
gia, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana,
Arkansas and Texas. The latter State
complained of continued burning temper
atures, drouth and rapid deterioration
Toward the close the market advanced
several points ON general buying and
was finally very steady with prices net
unchanged to eleven points higher, Au-
gust alone being unchanged. Total sales
were estimated at 225,O00 bales, this rep
resenting an unusually active market fol
a summer month.

SELF-GOVERNMENT.

The Washington Post has on its
editorial staff a very brainY and ac-
complished individual whose especial
fupction is to read up on all the Incl
dents, social, political or otherwise,
that place the Negro in bad light
before the the world. After absorbing
his information this brainy individuals

Of late, this erudite person appears to
be working overtime.
The Haitian revolution was the i'm
pelling cause of The Posts most recent
spasm. Because the personal ambition
of rival leaders and the development
of contendiDg factions crystallized into
a revolution. after the fashion of tropi-
cal nations our Avenue contemporary
observes that the Negro is incapable
of self-gOvernment. It fails to tell it's
readers, however, that human nature
is the same in the black race as it is in
the white, aud that love of power and
the abuse of it follow In the wake of
opportunity. From the plains of Mara
thOn, from the fall of Rome, from the
rise of Oliver Cromwell, or the repu'se
of the Pnglish tyrants from our own
shores, down to the retreat of Simon
Sam, the history of the world has taught
us that the strong will rule, right or
wrong. and that the weak will be forced
beneath the yoke. In the philosophy
