GOV. HoGG's ADVICE.

New Orleans dispatches say that
Gov. Hogg of Texas was in that city
last Monday when the break in the
price of cotton futures came, and
that he took the position that cotton
planters, cotton merchants and the
South generally ought to lend Mr..
William p. Brown a helping hand in
his effort to sustain the future cotton
market. Gov. Hogg's line of reasoning,
as set forth in the dispatches, was
that Mr.. Brown the head Of the latest
bull clique to boost the cotton future
market, had striven to help the cotton
planter and the South, and had helped
them, by bringing about an advance
"a very great advance-in the price of
cotton.
No doubt Mr. Brown was instru-
mental in advancing the price of cot
ton, but the advance took place at
time when neither the cotton planters
nor the South had cotton. If the high
price should continue-the price which
Mr.. Brown fixed-cotton planters and
the South might have reason to feel
enough therefore to feel grateful to
him if the high price prevails when
the cotton season opens. AS that is
still some weeks off there is no par
ticular reason why the cotton planters
and the South should accept Gov.
Hoggs advice and lend Mr.. Brown a
helping hand, especially as there is no
evidence to show that Mr.. Brown un-
dertook to corner cotton for the pur-
pose Of .benefiting cotton planters and
the South.
And it is a question whether he
would help the South if he should sue
coed in putting the price Of. cotton
even higher than it has been within
the last few weeks, because the high
price of cotton has caused many mills
in this country and Europe to close,
thus limiting the demand. The mills
cannot run if the raw material is so
high that the cost of their finished
product is greater than the price at
which it can be sold.
1t seems, according to the stories
that are being told, that Mr.. Brown
| put the price of cotton futures so high
that his partners got scared on Mon
day when they found that they could
not sell any of their holdings at the
prevailing prices, and gave orders to
sell at a lower price. 1t was this diff
ference between him and his part
ners, if the reports are correct, that
brought about the worst slump in the
cotton market in many years. Gov
Hogg's advice offered as he offered it,
is calculated to appeal strongly to the
South, but 1T is doubtful if Southern
ers will hasten to act in accordance
with IL. They have had no material rea.
son yet to be grateful to Mr.. Brown
for putting up the price of cotton, and
as matter of fact, the bears, before
September. may force the price of cot
ton down below what it was when Mr.
Brown and his clique entered the mar.
ket and lower than what it would
be if Mr.. Brown had kept out of the
| market

Smart Rox of the school.

When R. K. Munkittrick, the editor
of Judge, was at school he did not pay
the strictest attention to his studies,
says an exchange. 1t was boy named
McFadden that always stood highest in
the class, and one day the teacher sar-
castically remarked. that these boys
would grow up and become bankers.
But" said he, "McFadden will be the
president of a national bank and Mum
kittrick will be at the head of sand
bank
Not long ago a friend of the acrobat
of joke and Jingle told the latter he
had mentioned his name to compan-
ion down at Coney Island, and that a
stranger volunteered the information
that he once went to school with him.
ASK him if he remembers McFad-
den up at the Astoria School," said the
stranger
and what was he driving at?" ask
ed Munkittrick anxiously; 'did he
say?''
"4e didn't have to-" replied the in
formant "as he was the waiter who
brought me the beer"

The Chicago Tribune has COM
pleted its Fourth of July casualty
table, which gives the following re-
suits The dead, 50; the injured, g.
$685. fire loss, S4OO,625. Casualties re-
suited from several causes as follows:
Fireworks, LILO; skyrockets, 206; can
non, 319; firearms, $50; toy pistols, 559
gunpowder, 76S; runaways, 81. This
is a terrible showing. A battle with
so many casualties would rightly be
called a great battle. There is. of
course, a lesson to be drawn from the
days doings. But 1t is of no use to
preach it. The people will go right on
celebrating" the glorious Fourth in
the same old bloody manner. Nobody
can give any good reason why the
nations natal day should be made one
of carnage. and yet the carnage goes
on year after year

county, a gold medal? She deserves
one. Our dispatches of yesterday told
how, single-handed, she faced a mob
of would-be lynchers at the jail door
pointed a rife at them, and made them
dispense. We have no doubt that Miss
Creech would have fired had the lead
ers of the mob failed to obey her
command, and that she would have
shot straight. She meant business, and
the mob knew it. Miss Creech is a
brave woman, q hep9ine. She upheld
