New York, Sept S.-There was a com.
plete change in the cotton situation today
1t took about half an hour to convince the
average trader that the situation had
changed, but when the fact was generally
realized prices recovered sharply. The
outlook appears to be very different from
that existing for some time. When De

THE PENsloNINe OF Ex-sLAvEs.

The bill for the pensioning Of ex-saves over the
quest" last week in the United States Senate, is
not new bill, and Senator Hanna is no more re-
sponsible for the provisions than Senator
Mason of Illinois, who its sponsor the last time
it made its appearance. Senator ingalls, Of Kansas
introduced such bill years ago. Whatever may be
the abstract justice of such claim. it is probable
that the astof the freedmen will have gone to his last
sleep before it becomes law. And the ex-slaves
are pretty long-lived lot at that.

JUST BALDFAcEp GAMBLING,

Armour cleaned up half million in the recent
wheat DEAL" said recent dispatch, and thousands
of persons with the gambling spirit implanted in
them anxious to invest their small holdings in
wheat and try also to "cean up a pile" says the
Topeka Herald. How different would be the moral
effect of stock gambling items if they always were
approached from the other side and the dispatches
read something like this: About dozen amateur
gamblers lost aggregating half million in the
recent wheat DEAL 1t is the thought of winning
and not the thought of losing that constitutes the
germ of the gambling fever "
Correctly put. All deals options. futures and the
like whether in stocks grains, meats or what not,
is gambling, all corners" open public robbery The
millions so made are not made, but are simply won.
Winnings are but losses Nothing else Whatever
is by is the loss of another. The millions
realized on "board of exchange or on the curb"
adds nothing to the aggregated wealth of the COM
munity, or country It represents simply a trans
ference of money from one set of pockets to
other SET or otherwise it represents so much flched
from the public at large. In being legitimate it is
none the less damnabe.

THE NEGRO SUFFRAGE QUESTION SOUTH.

The South is wrought up President Roose-
velts supposed attitude the Negro question. The
Booker Washington dinner episode is still referred
to in every section of the South and daily. While
the truth is and the records prove it, that Roose-
welt has appointed fewer colored men to Office in the
South than either Cleveland Mckinley still there
is a dread throughout the South that something of
strenuous nature is about to happen touching the
status of the Southern negro The fact that Secre-
tary Root who is supposed to be closer Presi
dent than any other cabinet officer admitted at the
annual dinner of the Union League club that the
experiment of suffrage in the South had proved
a failure in no sense modifes the fears of the South
Root did not mean that the republic is failure or
the ballots failure but that Negro suffrage had
failed in the practical application of the thirteenth
fourteenth and fifteenth amendments of the consti
tuition. which amendments were ratified by three
fourths of the states. The truth is under those
amendments and in spite of them the Negro vote
of the South is largely suppressed that the Negro
is. in fact DISTINGUISHED In so far surely Neso
suffrage has proved failure So strong is the feel
ing in the South that We sometimes think that had
not the South gone TO war over the Negro once it
would surely try it The majority Of the North
no doubt believe that Negro suffrage is right That
majority must be convinced TO the contrary or other
wise the representation in congress from the South
will be cut down the basis of the white or actual
voters OF course there are Republicans who now
hold with the late lamented Ingalls, of Kansas that
the Acknowledgement of the Negro at the time it was
done was one of the greatest blunders ever commit
ted by the Republican party. Still there the con-
ftitution which provides adequate readjustment,

sCHlLLING NOT DEAD.
cOachmAn Who ElOped with Victoria Morosini
at Work on Long Island.

Considerable interest has been
aroused in this village by the pub
lished that Ernest Schil-
ling, the man who in 1884 eloped with
Victoria Morosini, daughter of G..
Morosini millionaire New York
banker, after being employed as coach
man for the family, is now alive and
is working as a coachman at a sani-
tarium in Astoria, L. l., although il
was supposed that he died several
years ago This news is of interest
locally from the fact that the banker
daughter lived in this village for a
number of months under the name OF
Miss Baldwin.
The fact that Schilling has again
taken up an occupation which was
once the means of winning him wife
might not have been known had not a
former friend of Mr. Morosini called
at the sanitarium to see a patient.
The facts concerning the Schilling-
Moroslnl elopment and the subsequent
separation are still fresh in the minds
of most people. The couple parted
two years to a day after the marriage
and not long afterwards the woman
came to this village and became a
teacher at st Joseph's convent
Miss Baldwin, as she was known
here, was fine musician and frequent
ly entertained the scholars with music,
and they became much attached to her.
She was often seen upon the streets
with the sisters and her beauty attract
ed much attention, but she was APP
parently oblivious to all such atten-
tions, and made but few acquaintance.
From here she went to Rutland where
she has since resided.

Does License Pay.

Vermont and Maine are thoroughly
anti license, Ohio add Illinois are ex-
amples of license states, filled With
distilleries, breweries and myriads of
saloons.
Vermont and Maine challenge com
parison of the prosperity of their com
mon people with that of the common
people of Ohio and Illinois. 10 popu-
lation, indeed, the latter states far
outstrip them Thus, though less than
one-fifth in number, the people Of
Maine have more than half again as
much laid up in the savings BANKS as
the people in Ohio; and though little
more than one-sixth in number, they
have far exceeded twice the deposits Of
the people of Illinois. The people of
Vermont, though in population only
tenth the size Of Ohio, have Si,-
600, 900 more in savings banks than
Ohio and almost twice the amount Hi
nois has, Or, to put the same facts in
a different form, we're the amount de-
posted in the savings banks of Illinois
divided equally among all the people
Of the state, each person would have
but Sc. "a; by a similar division Of the
savings of Ohio among her people, each
person would receive 80. a. But each
iuhabitant of the state of Maine would
carry away $50. n we're each to recsive
an equal share of Ter deposits while
in Vermont every every man, woman
and child would get STA. Think these
things over and then decide whether
the licensed saloon is friendly or OPP
posed to the financial prosperity OF
those who work for their living.

A Well Known Gentleman
Makes a Remarkable Statement
He Assures Rheumatic Sufferers
That One Bottle Of
Paine's Celery
Compound
BaniShed Ills Pains and AgOnieS

The startling and happy cures
wrought by Paines Celery Compound
for rheumatic sufferers have deeply
impressed medical men everywhere,
and today, the best practitioners are
recognizing the great value Of the Com
pound, and prescribe it with conf
dence.
Paine's Celery Compound stands
unequaled as cure for all the varied
forms OF rheumatism. At this season
its good work is apparent in thous-
ands of American homes. Men and
women, lame and crippled, and utterly
helpless from the terrible disease are
being restored to activity, health and
strength. Paine's Celery Compound
is the only medicine that rescues and
saves the despairing victim who
is told that he or she is incurable. Mr.
L. A. Freshman, Gap Mills, West Va,
writes about his happy experience with
Paine's Celery Compound; he says:
II had rheumatism in my left arm
and shoulder, could not sleep and had
no appetite. 1 visited my sister who
lives in frankfort, and she told me
she had been afflicted just as l was
and Paine's Celery Compound had
done her more good than anything she
had tried, and she advised me to use
it. l got one bottle and used it, and
the result was slept well, had good
appetite, and the pains of rheumatism
left me and l have not felt them since;
in fact, it has cured me and l feel like
a new man. y

owned by Charles b. Swift of Garfield
was destroyed by fire. The house and
most OF its contents we're also burned.
II is not known just how the fire orig
mated but it is thought from the fur

There will be several thousand dollars
lost as there was only $1,000 insurance
