the good Of his Puritan ancestry came
down to him, but II was a distinct evil
that be could see only one side OF a
question. His famous statement that
the worst possible republican was bet
ter than the best imaginable democrat
was not lightly made. 1t was his creed.
Now, as a creed il may be good or bad:
the point is not there. The man who
consciously limits his horizon is weak.
I; IS all very well for a horse to wear

right and left: but the driver must be
able to look about him. Reed was a
wheel-horse of his party. The i'm
mense service be performed for his
country was partisan service, in the
first place, and national only in what
the philosophers call the second intep-
ton. The politician in HIM outclassed
the statesman. His cynical remark that
ga statesman is merely a dead polit-
lcaln," is an unconscious revelation OF
self.
When Reed was first talked of tor
the presidency, he was asked if he
thought that the party would put him
in nomination. His reply was:
"They might do worse-and 1 think
they WILL"

COTTON FUTURES.

New York, April 27.-The cotton
market opened firm at an advance of
SQ4 points, notwithstanding cables
that We're barely up to expectations,
and following the call showed contin-
ued strength under renewed manipu-
lation by the bull pool, which led TO
the expectation that the longs would
call for actual deliveries on their May
holdings. Tomorrow is the first no
tice day for May contracts and 1t has
been looked forward to as a possible
solution of the clique's intentions The
reappearance of the pool leader on the
exchange to-day after an absence of
about week and fresh buying orders
from that source naturally caused
anxiety among nearby shorts and COW
ering became the dominating influence.
It was stated that every effort was be-
ing made to increase the amount of
certificated cotton available for deliv-
cry and fifteen gangs were reported to
be at work with the prospect of in
specting from 300 to 400 bales per gang
for the day. This had little effect in
checking the covering. however for
it was said that the cotton was grad
ing very poorly, and that much was
being rejected, so that the advancing
tendency showed no apparent halt un-
til the mid-afternoon when May had
reached 10.5Sc and July 10.15c. with
the general list showing an advance
over Saturdays close of from 10 70 p
paints. At this level there was a lit

3Q5 points higher, although cables
were not to the mark. Mail reports of
want of rain were quite numerous, and
in addition the government map failed
to show any moisture of consequence
over Sunday, except at Charleston, the
receipts were receiving but little at
tention, and everything seemed to
hinge on the weather, and the extent
of the May notices to be issued to-

Sellers are still holding back; there
is nothing to warrant abandoning the
long side at this time. The crop is
having a very late start, that is sure,
and it may have still worse start I'M
less rain soon comes no matter how
large may be the yield. 1t is believed
that a result of the prolonged wet spell
early in the season and want of mois-
ture now, acreage may be considera-
bly, reduced; at all events the opening
of the season is anything but bril7
liant, and the best element in the trade
are shaping their course as regards
speculation accordingly. The market
advanced sharply after the opening,
and trading was active.

STOCKS AND BONDS.

New York, April 27.-The somnolent
condition of to-day's stock market was
significant of the continued indiffer-
ence of the general speculative and in
vestment public. Even the profession
al traders found encouragement in
their efforts to move prices by trading
with each other, and the general tone
of the market, in consequence, was
the duilest thus far this year. Special
movements in a few individual stocks
were all that offered any feature.
A report by expert accountants on
behalf of the Metropolitan Street Rail-
way intended to refute the charges of
irregular accounting against that COM
pany was made the occasion for mark
ing UP that stock ~ points. A hos
tile purpose towards the bear party in
the stock was apparent and the gain
was practically lost before the end of
the day. A rather langlmd attempt
was made to induce a general rise in
the market in company with the Me-
tropolitan Street Railway movement
and Missouri Pacific and Baltimore
and Ohio seemed to be chosen as the
leaders, but this movement did not
reach far. The weakness of Anal
gamated Copper caused by the fall in
the metal was an adverse influence.
Then, too, there developed a remark
ably strong tone in foreign exchange
which narrowed the gap between the
gold export point materially. Dis
counts and money hardened in London
and the advance in British consols was
checked Money rates here continued
to decline and there were increasing
offerings for periods extending beyond
six months, for which no concession
from the 5 per cent. rate Is yet re-
ported. The increasing supply Of money

The increase in gross earnings for
March of Atchison was wiped out and
decrease in net of $249,S17 esta,b-
lished by the large growth in operat-
ing expenses. The weekly statistics of
railroad traffic showed a considerable
falling off in the movement, especially
in the grain movement eastward and
large OUTLAWS are reported in prospect
for improvements and for belated re-
pairs of overworked equipment.
