SHOULD BE CALLED DOWN.

The whole country has been astounded
at the trend given to the examination of
Mr.. Mitchell by the attorneys of the coal
operators. 1t reads like the badgering
cross examination by a bullying lawyer
directed at a man thought to be guilty
of grave crime. Mr.. Mitchell has borne
himself with dignity, ability and COM
mon sense. The estimate of his high
capacity as leader has been strengthen
ed by the offensive and unwarranted
examination to which he has been sub
jected.
1t would seem, from the nature OF the
questions, that the operators have moth
ing in view but to convict Mr. Mitchell
Of every act of lawlessness that occurred
during the strike. What has that to do
with the settlement of the differences
between the strikers and the operators :?
1t was for that purpose that the Com
mission was created. Everybody will
admit that some strikers did unlawful
things and everybody knows chat the
operators are engaged in unlawful prac-
tees. 1t is not the purpose of the Com
mission to see which party has sinned
the most. or upon which the respon-
sibility for the troubles can be fixed. 1t
is to try to adjust the differences in the
interest of all concerned, including the
suffering public which is still paying
fifteen dollars a ton for the same coal
that sold one year ago for about seven
dollars.
The attorneys of the operators ought
to be called down and required to .ad-
dress themselves to the matters that are
to be passed upon by the Commission.
So far the questions have not been peril
nent and most of them have been wholly
irrelevant.

THE TOBACCO CONVENTION.

Since the American Tobacco Trust and
the Imperial Tobacco Trust pooled their
issues and divided out the world between
them, there has been quite drop in the
baeco growers in the State said yester
day that the slump in prices was about
four cents in the pound in common to-
bacco and two cents per pound In the
better grades Think how many hundred
thousand dollars this slump transfers
from the pockets of the farmers to the
pockets of the trust magnates!
There will be a meeting of the State
Tobacco Growers Association in Rocky
Mount on the 10Th of December. In view
of the merger of the great trusts of
the world and the reduction in the price
of tobacco, with the outlook for much
larger decreases next season, it is we'll
for the tobacco growers to hold con-
ference and exchange views and try to
prevent a return of the ruinous prices
for tobacco that logically followed the
organization of the American Tobacco
Trust.
The United States Investor, one of
the ablest and wisest of the financial
papers, in an article this week predicts
that the American and Great Britain to-
bacco trust Sin the near future may ex-
tend to the continent, embracing the prin
cipal manufacturers of France and Ger
many ard possibly other countries" In an
extensive article on tobacco, the Investor
gives as the reason for the better price
the farmers have received this year
that there has been a strong and active
demand from abroad for the weed 1t
was to destroy in part this strong for
eign demand, which was putting up the
price Of tobacco in the hands of the
farmers, that the tobacco trust was so
anxious to swallow up the English
trust. Both were interested in getting
cheaper tobacco. The day they merged
was a dark day LOT the toDdCCo SloWei-
The agents and apologists of the to-
bacco trust are telling the farmers that
the cause of the reduction of prices is
due to the fact that the farmers are
rushing it too rapidly to market. The
answer to that explanation is that the
rush is not nearly So great as two
months ago-before the trusts Joined
when prices mere two and four cents
pound higher than now. OF course rush
ing any crop to market too rapidly de-
presses the price some, but that is not
the cause of the big reduction in the
price of tobacco. Well posted tobacco
men do not think the trust will put down
the price of tobacco much more TINS
season. 1t is to their interest to encour-
age a large acreage next year by paying
a living price for the remainder of the
crop this year.

Second Crop of Berries.

Especial to News and Observer
Wilmington, n. c.. Nov. flowing to
the lateness of the fall, a second crop
of strawberries is being made by truck
growers along the line of the Whining
ton and Weldon railroad. between Will
mington and Goldsboro. Mr.. Henry
Peterson, who lives near Willard, had
some of the autumn berries on the
market yesterday and is thinking of
making a shipment to the North. The
berries are from vines which bore splen-
didly in the spring. If the weather
should continue moderately warm a
week or ten days longer, it is said that
the second crop of berries would be
worth hundreds of dollars to the truck
ers. The conditions that now exist are
something new in the history of straw
berry culture in this section.

Washington POST
large contingent of Republicans, con-
.;dara bIy wrought up over the Southern
Sit,otion are awaiting the promised
statement of Senator Pritchard ABOUT
80 recent election in North Carolina. He
- oxnected to analyze the voting there,
80 &c to throw some new light on the
octnal strength of his party, and partic-
,,1orIv of the white Republican move
r,ont 1t is safe to assume that the Sem
otor will discuss the subject calmly and
without recrimination, however much his
Mans may have been thwarted by the
-,noxnected negotiations of Gen. Clarkson
With the negroes at Raleigh. It will,
nevertheless, be a surprise if the Senator
makes any back tracks in his determine
tion to build up a white Republican par
~ in his section of the South.
In spite of all that has been done by
removing Federal office-holders for eX-
cluding negroes from convention, and In
enite of all the negotiations with the col
ored voters, the administration may
eventually sanction the complete pro-
oramme for a white mans party in the
South. Some very strong suggestions OF
such an outcome are heard from reliable
sources. But the eXigencies of politics
seem to dictate something else just at
present What has been done already
may suffice to check the activity of
Federal office holders in quietly booming
new Presidential candidates.

COTTON IS WORTH EIGHT CENTS

This paper has long learned to pin it's
faith in cotton estimates to Ashley Horne
& Son, of Clayton. They do a large cot
ton business and there is no firm in the
State that studies cotton more thor
oughly. The senior of the firm has been
raising, buying and selling cotton since
the war, and in recent years has begun
manufacturing it. The firm studies cot
ton from every standpoint-that of the
grower, the buyer, the seller, the manu-
facturer-and they are careful and pru-
mates.
Below we print the estimate of this
firm sent to this paper last night:
HORNE & SONS ESTIMATE.
Last year our estimate on the crop
was 10.250,000 bales. The actual crop
grown was 10,552,000, hence we were
wrong in our figures some 10000 bales.
On the Goth of the past September we
made an estimate on the present crop of
1880, 900 bales, which was published in
The Journal of Commerce and CONNER
cial Bulletin of New York of that date.
at that time hardly a bear could be
found but on the other hand, every
body from New York to New Orleans
was bullish Even MesSrs. Buston, Eli
son and NeilI had not Ventured their
estimates which have lately appeared
with such depressing effects upon the
market Knowing so well that our
figures were bcarish, we would not pub
lish them here, fearing the holders and
producers of cotton would understand
us as being against the good prices then
ruling But to those who sought our
advices when spots were 81 to S1a we
suggested selling, and as fast as pos
sible, believing and stating that we
thought the market would certainly go
as low as s cents and probably to 7A.'
The recent decline has put the market
down to lower level than even we an
ticipated and the prices now ruling,
~ to IA, in our opinion, very well dis
count everything bearish in the situa-
ton. Our estimate on the consumption
this season is IL 100000 bales and should
we carry over next September as many
as 100000 bales it cannot be considered
burden. Looking at the general situa-
ton in an unbiased way we fail to see
WHY spot cotton should very much longer
sell for less than cents. If the farm
ers and Eolders will only keep their
cotton away from the markets they
would have no trouble in requiring this
figure. But if they rush it on the mar
ket as though there remains but few
DAYS more in which to get rid of their
balance, We can but expect this present
depression to continue. The South IS
in good shape financially and well able to
market the balance of the crop in a
moderate way. The mills are doing a
good business and the mill owners who
are liberal and conservative people will
not mind paying s cents for their future
needs.
1--WE hardly think they would consider
So very high next summer. We think
the crop of North Carolina will be 60O,-
coo bales this year.
ASHLEY HORNE & SON."
The recent decline in the price of cot
ton was caused by speculation. 1t is
the opinion of Horne e. Son and other
prudent cotton firms that to avoid low
prices the farmers must not be in so
big a hurry to sell. There is no good
season why the balance of the crop
should sell for less than eight cents.
