NEW YORK COTTON.

new York, Sept 16.-The cotton market
opened firm at an advance of 1@2 points
on all months except September, which
was / point lower. following the English
cables, which were disappointing as to
that position, though the later deliveres
were quite up to local anticipations. For
a time the market showed firmness on
further covering and bull support with
the active months shortly after the call
from 4@D6 points higher. There was de-
cline of from 3@4 points from yesterday :
finals, then the Western news, which had
not been so bad early, began to grow very
much worse and the market rallied sharp
ly. Heavy rains were reported through
out the central belt and low Temperatures
were recorded in the northern portions Of
the western belt with the forecast proms-
ing little better conditions for the imme
date future. This led to more or less gen
eral covering and that business was not
more active was probably due to the in
terruptions in the wire service as result
of the storms. September sold up to
11.23, October. which was not quoted at
9S4 earlier in the day, reached 1902, DE
cember sold up from 975 to 995, while Jan
uary ranged from ga to 993. Recognized
bear leaders opposed the advance during
the entire afternoon and towards the close
prices lost point or so, but the market
was finally very steady net II to 10 points
higher. Sales were estimated at 400, 0Oo
bales Sentiment as to the effect of the
adverse weather was considerably mixed.
1t has been said that rains were needed
in the central belt. but the precipitation
reported was heavier than bargained for
and it was argued that picking and the
movement would be. delayed. Definite
news. as to this, as well as much routine
market news was delayed by the poor wire
service.

POST CHECK CURRENCY.

The House Postoffice committee has
voted to favorably report the Post
Check currency bill, and the advocates
of the measure are hoping that 1t will
be favorably acted on by the House.
The Senate Postof1ice committee, which
has had the bill under consideration,
will, it is thought, soon take favorable
action on it. The Post Check plan is
finding much favor throughout the
country. The plan is for the govern
ment to issue 81, So, and IS bills, much
like Bank of England notes, having
blank spaces thereon These bills will
possess all the virtues of our present
currency, with the new one added that
when the owner of one of them desires
to remit it through the mails he can
stick on two-cent stamp, cancel it,
write in the blank spaces his name and
the name of the payee and the operation
will transform the currency into a
check which will be paid, on identifica-
ton, by any money order postoff1ce
or by any bank. No curtail-
ment of the present money
order system is contemplated save to
the extent that the people lessen it's
operation by the change to the far more
convenient way of sending remittances
which the Post Check provides. The
farmer need not go to the postoffice nor
the city business man send to the
sub-station. 1t is an additional Ncon-
venience which it is believed would be-
come widely and warmly popular in the
first six months of its operation.
So much commentator of the Post
Check plan has been given all over the
country that congress may be certain
that it will not get itself disliked if it
makes the Post Check bill law.

OF the British Admiralty being that
they were obsolete. while it was said
that the vessel herself. On account Of
her sIpwness-ske 1ever made m re
THAI thirteen and one-half knots an
hour-and her Obstinacy in obeying her
rudder. would be more apt to do dam
age to her friends than her enemies in
case Of warlike operations. She is
twin-screw vessel of $3.50 tons, and her
sides and turrets are heavily protected
by steel-faced armor plates. One of
the conditions of the sale is that the
vessel must be broken up inside of two
years, and must not be taken away
from England. Some of the papers are
now saying that it is the intention of
the purchasers to break up the vessel
and take the parts to some other cOun-
! try. presumably Germany, and there
put them together again. adding such
| improvements as may be necessary to
make her up to date. The purchasers
have already stated that they by no
means consider the vessel obsolete.
1t costs money to have a navy, espe-
cially when mistakes are made in build
ing vessels, and when changes are so
rapid that expensive vessels become
useless soon.

For he said, III go a-tishing in the neigh

And they met-ln the usual way.
Then he sat down beside her. and an hour
or two went by,
But still upon the grassy brink his rod ana
line did lie;
'I thought" she shyly whispered, you'd
be fishing all the day."
And he was-in the usual way.
threw his line about.
But the fish perceived distinctly he was
not looking out;
And he said, sweetheart, love you," but
she said she could not stay,
But she did-in the usual way.
Then the stars came out above them, and
she gave a little sigh
AS they watched the silver ripplcs like the
moments running by:
I'VE must say goodby,' she whispered by
the alders old and gray.
And they did-in the usual way.
And day by day beside the stream, they
wandered TO and fro.
And day by day the fishes swan securely
Till this little story ended, as such little
stories may,
Very much-in the usual way.
And now that they are married, do they
always bill and coo?
Do they never fret and quarrel, like other
couples do?
Does he cherish her and love her? does she
honor and obey?
Well, they do-in the usual way.

COLONIAL DANES

All the Colonial Danes of the present
day will be interested in what Mrs.
Hamilton said at meeting of a Wo-
mans club in Kansas the other day.
She argued that the women of colonial
DAYS were better than those of to-day.
The women of to-day, she said, go shop
ping and haven't strength enough to
carry home their bundles. They buy
their coffee not only Drowned, but
ground and then compel their husbands
to concoct the beverage for breakfast,
"I contend that the women Of that day
were stronger mentally than the women
Of to-day. Girls were not sent through
college then; in fact, they were not
even allowed to attend the common
school. and yet they were the mothers
Of such men as Patrick Henry, Samuel
Adams and James Monroe. The uned-
ucated women of to-day are only one
step above the monkey and they are
the mothers of the toughs on the streets.
I contend that our foremothers were
stronger morally Their children were
compelled to go to church; they had to
learn the catechism; and when thing
was right they did it, whether it was
against their comfort or not"
twill be hard to convince the Colonial
Danes of to-day that they are inferior
to the Colonial Danes whom they are
supposed to have descended from. But
they will have to admit that they don't
do as much manual labor as the old
Colonial Danes did, and perhaps their
children, when they have any, are not
quite up to the old Colonial standard
mentioned by Sister Hamilton.

10 the Editor Of the Journal and Courier:
Permit me to take note of the topic
referred to in the Courier lately under
the captions Sad Sights, Responsible
ity," etc. The writer is engaged in the
liquor business, but he does not on
that account take up the cudgels to de-
fend it. Above all, l would not de-
nor excuse the bad side of the liquor
business. If this remark may be con-
strued into an admission that there Is
bad side to the business I will say that
he must be blind indeed who cannot see
that there are Objectionable features
connected with the business Of dispens
ing wines and liquors. But at the same
time it is simple truth to say that the
good which results from the moderate
use of pure high class wines and liquors
outWeighs many times over the objec-
tionable features of the traffic. If hy-
pocrisy and empty pretense were left
aside long enough to enable one to take
an impartial view of the procession Of
passing events it will be observed that
there are as many tainted spots upon
the escutcheOn of society that 1T is cow
ardly and unfair to single out the liquor
/ business and make scapegoat Of it, 1t
is another exemp!ification of the case
Of the historical Pharisee. Look into
all the avenues Of trade and it is charg-
ed that the markets are filled with adul-
terated goods, including food products.
Your apothecary shops are filled with
patent medicines that are a wicked
travesty on the healing art. Your
stock markets are inflated to such an
extent with wind and water that there
will be bye and bye crash, the report
of which will reverberate round the
world, Why are not the columns of
the newspapers filled with loud protests
against this admittedly Objectionable
condition Of things? AS to the lack of
virtue in the world the liquor business
