 NEW YORK. Sept. l.-News today was rather conflicting On the other hand, The Journal of Commerce reported an increase or nearly points in the condition of the crop. which brought the figures up to the same as those reported by Washington month ago
 This improvement attracted general attention and by many thought to indicate that the coming report on Thursday would also show some advance. On the other hand. the izat two weekly summaries have been rather sIrfzyorable and this would rather operate against any improvement for the month In either event no mterial change is expected
 fHos1rh personally shall be very much sur prised If the department gives us condition rf over eO This would be too good to be true
 yhe other development of the day was the weakly weather report which said cotton had aeteriorated in many sections owing to rust and shedding. The boil weevil did not occupy nearly as much space in the report as one might have expected and in fact the insect is said to be doing less damage in North Texas Taken as whole the document was not such as to make the trade feel justified fn shorting cotton. though enough came on the market to leave prices lower for the day. liyerpool did not respond at all to yesterday advance and if reports are to be believed one or two operators here in New York have sui ncient load of cotton to occupy all their at tention for some time to come. It is the height of absurdity to expect that conditions can be the same as they now when cotton begins to. move freely. We regard the level of distant positions as to great degree inflated

MUCH EXPECTED, NO RETURNS.

Because the United States does
not plunge itself into war with half
Of Europe to save Venezuela from
the consequences of its own folly,
the South Americans are busy just
now complaining of the "lassitude"
Of the United States in enforcing
the Monroe doctrine. Cable me s.
sages yesterday stated that officers
in Peru were offering their services
to Castro that Indignation meet
ings were being held in Ecuador
and that Uncle Sam was being
roundly abused generally for not
taking an aggressive stand with
Venezuela, no matter whether she
was right or wrong.
1t is, of course, measurably
true, that European nations have
won concessions by diplomacy that
they could never have obtained by
force; and that they are doing in
South America what would have
caused a fight in James Monroe's
time; but the South Americans
themselves are to blame for it.
Without the strong arm of the
United States behind them, there
would hardly be an independent
nation in the southern continent
today. Their constant embroil-
ment in civil war, their readiness
to plunge into debt with Euro
peans and their unwillingness to
settle offer a constant temptation
to Europe to meddle in their af-
fairs-a temptation which would
have wiped all of them off the map
long ago but for the great protec-
tion they are SO ready to abuse.
The United States is no longer a
gamer by the Monroe doctrine.
This country is strong enough to
laugh at any threat of forein ag-
gression. 1t is not the gamer
even by closer trade relations, nor
by any degree of friendship, since
the South Americans themselves
resent and ridicule the Monroe

honest independence. No educa-
tiOn that does not make this its
first aim is worth anything at all
The being able to do something is
Of infinitely more value than the
ability to answer questions. More
and more is it coming to be seen
that the industrial hope of the
South is in wider dissemination
of scientific, technical, and manual
education that will lead to the
development and mastery Of the
material resources that still lie
slumbering in the depths Of our
hills and fields and forests-this is
the supreme need of our impover-
ished Southland. The South is
poor, not because the South is
thriftless, but because the South is
so largely rural-a rural population
thinly settled upon undeveloped
lands. No people anywhere are
making larger sacrifices in the in
terests of education than the people
of the Sonth-in fact some of these
states are devoting fifty per cent of
their total revenues to the develop
ment Of the public schools. Lord
Brougham once said he hoped
time would come when every man
in England would read Bacon;
William Cobbett said he would be
cOntented if time came when
every man in England would eat
bacon. First and foremost, a man
has to earn his living, and the light
we want is the light to help us to
work, and find food and clothes
and lodging for ourselves. And
the three RS, if no industrial
training 60 along with them, are
apt, as Miss Nightingale observes,
to produce a fourth R, the R of
Rascality.
Education is an investment, and
not an expenditure. So long, how
ever, as public resources are SO
inadequate the conditions of litter
acy, cannot be less than serious.
The representative of a Southern
college has thus put the facts:
Throughout the whole eleven
States of the secession, one person
