MI. cleveland's Explicit Statement.

So many public men have declined
to be considered as candidates for
high Office, in much the fashion in
which the small boy at the party
declined to take a second piece of
cake unless urged, hat it is refresh
ing to read Mr.. C~leveland's letter to
Mr.. St. Clair McKelway, editor of
the Brooklyn Eagle" declining Gin
any circumstances or upon any con-
sideration" ever again to become the,
nominee of his party for the Presi-
dency. "My determination not to do
So" he adds, "is u~nalterable and con-
elusive" The explicitness of this
delination recalls General Sherman's
famous reply when it was proposed
to stampede one of the Republican
National Conventions by presenting
his name for the Presidency. ct
will not" said the old soldier, "accept
if nominated, or serve if elected"
This downright form of speech con-
firms the hold of the men who use it
upon the admiration of their sup
porters, and is respectfully suggested
for the consideration of Senator
Hanna. Mr.. Cleveland's characters
tic statement, following Mr.. Bryan's
unqualified declaration that he can
not be suggested for the Democratic
nomination next year, makes some
what easier the still difficult task of
restoring Democratic unity.-New

COTTON. ON THE JUMP.
Advance Of Two Dollars a Bale in One
Days Delivery.

New York, Dec. 19.-New records
were touched on the Cotton Ex-
change yesterday amid much specu-
lative enthusiasm. There was a
great scramble of the bears to recover
cotton that they had sold, a sensa-
tional advance in the Liverpool mar
ket starting the buying. The scenes
witnessed not long ago when the
short crop report of the Agricul-
tural Department was issued were re-
peated.
Advances were made approximate
ing forty ppoints over the closing
prices of Wednesday, this gain being
equivalent to about 50 a bale. The
May delivery sold as high as 1890
cents a pound, closing at 1888, and
the June and July deliveries each
sold at 1892, compared with 1851,
Wednesdays close. The final prices
of the day were about the best.
The bull leaders conducted &C
tive operations in the market and
the trading was on a very heavy SCALE
the total sales being estimated at one
billion bales. There was plenty OF
talk around the exchange of "thir-
teen cent COTTON before Christmas"
Private cable advices ascribed the
strength of the market in Liverpool
to very heavy buying for American
and Egyptian accounts, and 1t was
stated that a scare of the shorts had
occurred there. There was large buy
ing in the local market for both
Liverpool and New Orleans account

CONGRESS AND THE WHITE HOUSE
The Weeks Work Reported by the
Washington Correspondent Of The
pro0raeaivo Farmer

Washington Correspondent Of The
Progressive Farmer.
Editor Of The Progressive farmer:
The event of the week here was the
passage by the Senate of the Cuban
reciprocity bill. The vote was 81 to
18, many Democrats favoring the
bill and but one Republican opposing
it. The bill passed was the same as
that sent from the House one month
ago, as no amendments wer offered.
When the President signs the act,
the two years fight for Cuban re-
~ciprocity will have been ended, with
substantial concessions to the island
Republic. The Democrats were in.
favor of making even greater COZ
cessions.
THE TURKISH PROBLEM.
A warship has been placed at the
disposal of the American consul, Da-
Wis, who was recently assaulted by the
Turkish police at Alexandretta. This
action was taken on the advice of
Minister Leishman, who presented
the facts of the case to the Govern
ment at Constantinople. Should the
consul desire to return to Alexandret-
ia one or two ships of Admiral Cot
toms feet will escort him. The trou-
bic grew out of the arrest of an Ar
menian, who is a naturalized Ameri-
can citizen. AS in Directing to the
arrest, the consul acted within his
rights, it is expected that the Turk
ish Government will punish the guilty
officials and offer apologies to Consul
Davis.
BUYING OUT THE lar
Governor Taft has reached an
agreement with the friars of the
Philippines, whereby the United
States is to purchase all their lands
for $7,25O,OOO. The Governor origi-
nally offered six million, and the
friars demanded fifteen. The pres
ent agreement has the sanction of
the Pope, and now waits the approval
of the War Department. The Gland
question" has been the source of end
less trouble between the church and
natives, and the latter will rejoice
that our Government has finally set
tied it.
PANAMA AND THE CANAL TREATY.
The signed copy of the canal treaty
with Panama has arrived in Wash
ington, and is in the hands of Secre-
tary Hay. Now that the Cuban re-
~ciprocity bill is disposed of, the Sen
ate will be able to take up the Pana-
ma treaty, and long and interesting
debates are looked for. Events on
the Isthmus are progressing. Prep
arations for a constitutional conven-
ton are in progress, and before long
the new Republic will be in complete
working order. Owing to constant
rumors that Colombia is sending
troops to the Isthmus, the United
States warships are on the lookout
on either coast and MANY marines
