The new pope is not doing exactly as
those who stand upon strict observance
of ceremonies, wish. In view of the COM
parative ease of getting an interview, q
courtier remarked the other day that it
was to be regretted if the Papal benedic-
ton should be bestowed on an unworthy
intruder. But the Pope answered, in the
words of Socrates, that 'the sun remains
the sun even if it shines on the impure:
adding that cit is precisely the unworthy

LET The SLEEPING DOG LIE".

We are pleased to see a statement from
Mr.. Carmack denying the published re-
port that he would press a resolution in
the Senate agitating the repeal of the
fifteenth amendment. He favors its re-
peal and has written a strong article
in the Olympian Magazine giving reasons
why the amendment should be repealed.
That is a very different thing from press
ing the repeal on the floor of the Sem
ate. Nobody supposes that the amend
ment will be repealed. Insistence upon
its repeal by a Southern Senator has q
tendency to do more harm than good.
Wherever the negro vote has been large
enough to menace good government in the
South, the States thus Injuriously af-
fected have ''ploughed around" the amend
ment until practically it is a dead letter.
So far as the South is concerned, what
is to be gained by agitation for repeal
that is foredoomed to failure? The only
present result might be an attack upon
the Southern restriction of negro suffrage.
Shall we invite it? The Baltimore Sun,
in sensible editorial, voices the wisest
course when it says:
There was never an occasion when the
old adage, Let the sleeping dog lie,,
would apply with more force. In the
language of the able Governor of North
Carolina, Today the South is at peace;
her industrial progress is marked and
steady; her government is strong enough
to control the mighty and gentle enough
to uphold the weak. Let us have peace. /"

Talking About Cotton.

j. NJ Aver Go, say there will prob
ably come time within the next six
months when decidedly bullish views as 10
prices may be warranted; but we think
the market will find a lower level than
has been reached during the current sea-
son. and they add
''At this writing we think the outlook
favors a production considerably in ex-
cess of any of the last four years. The
actual present movement may not appear
TO sustain this view, but there are evil
dences that planters and producers, IN
considerable numbers are Withholding
their cotton from the markets in the hope
Of getting higher prices than now prevail.
This, in our opinion, Is preventing for the
time great pressure OF spot cotton,
which sooner or later must be felt. That
there is no lack of cotton to come foI-
ward in great quantity, is practical GER
tainty
''As IL matter of interest and compari-
son we offer the following for conside1a-
ton:
ION October 10, 1897. the crop condi-
ton was reported as being 20. The acre
age for that year was 24,319 900. Produc-
ton 11,2O0, 900 bales.
ION October 3, 1908, the crop condition
was reported as being 65.1. The acreage
for this year is % 900, 900
Atwood, Violet & Co., lower their esti-
mate fthe cotton crop to 10,500,00O max
imum, instead of ten and three quarter
million bales maximum, made on the 19th
of September. They say:
There is a lack of appreciation by the
cotton trade generally of the possibilities
of dangerously small yield this season,
owing TO continued deterioration which
can only be accounted for because of an
unwillingness on the part of many to con
slider the height of the horse less than
fifteen feet, having once committed
themselves to that assertion, while the
majority are not sufficiently familiar
with crop movements in past years, or the
present year. or are not sufficiently in
touch with Southern planters and mer-
chants to be able to inform themselves as
to the true conditions of the cotton crop
now being gathered.
ut is quite on the cards for this crop
| to be a disaster as to quantity.

A CLOSE CALL.

A Very Small Fire Results in Large
Damage.
The long predicted fire that Is to wipe
ont the north side of Main street came
very close to visiting Ellsworth last
Thursday night. About 10 &c ock SPARKS
we're discovered issuing from tetwesn n he
Holmes building, owned by M Gallert,
and c. K. Foster building.
The flames were discovered briskly
burning In the shed In the rear OF the
Holmes building. Prompt action on the
part Of the fire department put out the
fire, but not until serious damage bad
resulted from smoke, water and breakage.
The fire caught in quantity of paper
and other packing material, and caused q
dense smoke which filled not only the
Holmes building but also Mr.. Gallert's
dry goods store on one side, and Mr.. Fos-'
ter's furniture store on the other.
The first story of the Holmes building
is occupied by he China & japan lea Co.,
N. M. 4 e. e. Davis, proprietors. Here
The damage was from all three cs uses, and
Is estimai ed at about 81 600.
Mr.. Fosters goods were damaged
slightly by water, mostly by smoke, to the
extent of about S200.
| The most serious damage WAS to Mr..
Galert's stock. The econd story of the
Holmes building is occupied by him. In
this room and also the connecting second
story of his main store, were draperies,
carpetings, aud ct her expensive guods, all
| of W hich were more or less damaged by
the intense smoke. The loss on his stock
is es imated ut several thousand dollars.
