New Orleans, Nov. 27.--Spot cotton in
good demand at full prices. Influenced
by the Improvement in Liverpool loccl
quotations were advanced 1-S. Sales g.
600 bales, including 1850 to arrive.
AT the opening of the future market
prices were firmer. 8 to II points higher
than Wednesdays closing. Shorts COW
cred freely ard longs bought heavily
forcing prices up to 10 points above the
opening. This was followed by realizing
sales which caused prices to recede $ TO
6 points. The firnness of the market
today was attributed to the advs nee in
Liverpool and the report that shorts
there were nervous on account OF the
strong bullish sentiment prevailing In
America. The local market closed quiet,

The Record is out again and is really
a fine number, the illustrations being
especially excellent. Two ofthe illustra
tons are especially noticeable and in
their own way convey world of informa-
ton to people of other states who seem
to think the climate of North Dakota is
but little if anything less severe than that
of the polar regions. The two pictures
are from photographs, and represent a
street in Chicago when the thermometer
stands at 20 above zero and the other is
a picture of farm scene in North Dakota
when the thermometer stands at 30 be-
low. The first picture shows the people
in the streets hurrying along with their
wraps about them, and some poor unfort-
unates without wraps seemingly half
frozen, and is typical Of city streets on a
cold day. The North Dakota scene
shows the farm horses, a dozen in num-
Der, feeding out doors ata straw stack in
the bright sunshine looking as comfort
able andsleek as it ispossibleto conceive e
and of course we of North Dakota know
that this picture is as true and typical as
that of the city streets. but you can't per-
suade the eastern people that it. is so,
even with the pictures.

WHO IS TO BLAME.

Sundays Tribune has well written
editorial in reference to recent murder
in the city of Minneapolis. The. outline
facts of the crime were that the murderer
had fancied wrong to avenge and after
filling himself full Of whiskey at saloon,
borrowed revolver from the saloon
keeper went out on the street and meet
ing three men, shot one of them dead,
though he scarcely ever had seen the
victim before. When sober in the morn
ing he knew nothing Of what he had
done until told.
The Tribune very logically traces the
crime back to the saloon keeper, because
the man who. handed out the .whiskey
and the revolver in such case is at least
equally responsible for the results.
As we say, this is the undeniable logic
!; u the facts, but has the Tribune gone
back far enough? This saloon keeper
was pursuing a legitimate busines. He
held a license from the city Of Mime

States government permitting him to fur

THE SALVATION ARMY.

The Salvation Army begin their 'self
denial" week on May oath. Some of
these people may come begging dur
ing that time, if SO do not turn them
away empty. Their ways of doing things
may not be yonr way, but that their ways
of reaching the lower classes have been
wonderfully successful in doing vast
amount of good that is practically out of
the reach of the organized churches is no
longer a doubtful matter. For example,
during the last year the Canadian branch
ofthe Army has through its Rescue
homes had as its guests 521 girls, Of
whom 265 were provided with situations
and 610 prisoners were met on the day of
their discharge and of these 449 we're
given work or assistance.
