In Tacoma, Wash, a few days ago a
httle girl was dragged from one of the
public streets in broad day by a human
brute ana outraged in a dark hallway
adjoining the street. To show what eff
feet such an act, ana the failure to prop
srly punish 1t. has on the mind. we copy
this from The Sun-pemocrats account
of the outrage:
one good cld-fashioned Alabama lynch
ing would do more to clear the atmos-
plsere in Tacoma than anything that could
happen. We must put stop to this kind
OF thing and do 30 ct once. Take one of
these brutes out ana swing him over the
Eleventh Street bridge and then drop
nlg body over board and let him be food
for fishes. Law and order is all right.

The indianapolis Sentinel. which has
been a Democratic paper for over four
score years, although at times little
extreme in its devotion to the white
metal is disgusted with Bryan, and adj
mits that its estimate of his Judgment
end wisdom as a Party leader has fallen
about 90 per cent. Then 1t devotes a
column and a half to the apparently
pleasant duty Of showing him up In his
true coiors. Among other things. The
Sentinel declares that THE Sentinel has
always been a bimetalist, but never a
- fool" The plain inference is that
the other fellow Is what The Sentinel
isn't, Then 1t says of itself and hi:m
1t certainly needs no lessons in Democ-
racy from any of the motley array of
Populsts, ex-Republicans and political
Adventures who are encouraging and ap-
plaudiug him in a course which tends to
delay. although 1t cannot prevent, that
reunion of the Democratic Party which Is
the only hope Of the country for rescue
from government of the syndicates, by
the syndicates and for the syndicates."
If Mr.. Bryan Is wise, he will take quite
a while to mediate before he again prods
The Sentinel, or undertakes to teach
Democracy to those who know him and

OTHER sovERE1aNs

New York Journal
Even If Edward VII. foregoes the coro-
nation ceremony he will not be the only
uncrowned king in Europe, for a ma
jority of the living potentates have never
been crowned.
The Car and Emperor Francis are
crowned kings. William H., the German
Emperor and King of Prussia, has been
on the throne many years without being
crowned, either as Kaiser or King.
Other living sovereigns who have been
crowned include the Kings of Italy and
Spain, the Queen Of the Netherlands, and
the Sultan.
King Edward has been known to ponder
over the prophecies of fortune tellers,
palmists, clairvoyants, etc, and many
stories are current that he will take his
present illness as an omen that he is
ambition to be crowned.

COTTON FUTURES.

New York. Dec. 5.-The cotton mar
ket opened steady at l point advance
to l point decline, ruled generally
quiet, orders from the country at large
being more or less restricted by wealth
er Interruptions to the telegraphic SER
vice. Trading was almost entirely of
a local character throughout the ses-
sion. In the absence of public support,
the more professional element depress-
ed the market. but was cautious in
view of the disappointing movement
and the possibility of some damage to
late cotton from the continued unfa-
vorable weather prevailing over much
of the cotton belt. with some report
ing ruination to any further chance of
top development while the rains and
flood following frosts have done much
towards degrading the quantity of late
cotton. The demand came principally
from parties who had sold previously.
although there was some buying for
Wall street accounts earlier in the ses-
sion. 1t was a local market most of
the time. with long intervals between
transactions towards the close of bus
mess. The total sales did not amount
to more than $4,000 bales, representing
the smallest business since the sea-
son commenced. The market was final
ly quiet at net loss of 162 points,
the entire variations following the
opening, having been within a range
of 5 points.

statistics. This, though, was offset by
the restricted demand for spots, lack
of outside buying and the predict on
OF clearing weather in the belt. Re-
cent buyers became uneasy, and on
their selling, break of points was
established on the day.
The amount brought into sight dur
ing the week was 414,000, against 417,-
900 last year. and the aggregate from
Sept. / to date is 5,434000, against s.
10000 last year. The visible supply

the week, against an increase Of I69.-

1t is anticipated that the light re-
ceipts will continue for the next fif-
teen days, owing to the bad weather
and the shortage of cars. This is gen.
orally conceded by traders, and it is
questionable whether any decided en-
hancement will be caused by this fac
tor, under the circumstances, unless
spinners soon become active buyers of
spots, it is well known that there are
large stocks of cotton held in the un-

which is construed as indicating a crop
of over 100000 bales, and that the
latest crop estimates range from H.
100000 to 11,775,000, seems to have
made outsiders less enthusiastic in
buying cotton. The steady decline in
silver has practically cut off the tex
tile demand from China, and all coun-
tries on a silver basis; therefore, it is
contended that the usual requirements
of American cotton will be curtailed by
that cause. and that Mr.. Ellison's es-
innate of 10,S00,000 will be found to be
full instead of IL 100000 and over, as is
popularity supposed to be requisite.
Sentiment is still very bullish, notwith-
standing these features, and any en-
couraging factor win be eagerly grasp

the market by the governments figures
TO move either way land until the trade
get their exact bearings active BUSH
ness is not looked for in well inform

AS far as the government report is
concerned, says an exchange, it looks
as though the Agricultural Bureau has
recognized the exaggerations in the
crop damage which was received in its
correspondents reports during the
summer, and is now trying to strike
an average in its estimate of the yield.
The report will undoubtedly prove
much nearer correct on the actual
growth, and be received much more
faEorably by the trade here and
abroad than if it had estimated the
crop at anything like 10000, 900 bales.
This is the least that can be said of it
in passing criticism.
