NEW COTTON CROP.

Special reports from the branch otfl.
ces of r. g. Dun and company
throughout the cotton belt are t. the
effect that the increase will be decided,
ranging to as high as 20 to 30 per cent.
over that of last year. This per cent.
age of increase is regarded by the
Atlanta Constitution as conservative,
and says it would not be surprised IN
the least to see it finally placed at
33 1.3 per cent. Very many farmers
are reported as doubling their cotton
acreage, and there are many planting
cotton in quantity for the first time.
We are pleased to quote from Dun S
special report as follows:
purchases of fertilizers, farming
implements and mules, have been
large. In some localities labor is
scarce and higher wages are being ask,
ed. All cities repcrt largely reduced
stocks of cid cotton, compared with
last year. In Texas an active educa-
tional campaign has been carried on
to induce farmers to adopt seieAt.he
methods, which has proven efffeaeieus,
even in the boil weyfI districts, and

see 20 per cent is expected, and from
10 to 90 per cent in n cth Carolina. In
most parts of Georgia the acreage VIII
he much larger than that Of last year,
with an increase of fertilizer sales OF
from 25 to3O per cent. In eastern
Georgia fertilizer sales are about tae
same as last year, but sales OF farming
implements and mules :aVe decreased
More cotton will be planted in Virgin
ia than fors several years. The IN

estimated at from to 10 per cent. as
fertilizer sales have increased 20 per

tions are reported very satisfactory
The farmers are in. a good financial
condition and TIE largest increase ever
known in acreage is expected. TIE IN

The Russian policy in Manchuria
may be said to be due to the necessity
of finding new markets fer her indus
tries. The great difficulty in carrying
ont Russias ambition in the Manchur-
ian market lies, strangely enough, IN
the transportation of her own mer'
chandise. Despite her great railroad
she has no real advantage over the

OPPOSITION TO ROOSEVELT.

The relation of 1903 election results to
the presidential possibilities for 1904 is an
interesting topic of political discussion, ac-
cording to recent newspaper advices from
'the outside
On the Republican side, while the tide
has been continuously rising towards the
nomination mark of President Roosevelt,
indications are not lacking that it may
turn before convention time. If there be
any logic in the result in Ohio, it is that
Marcus A. Hanna and not Theodore Roose-
welt is the leader of Republican policies.
The 'by request endorsement of President
Roosevelt at Mr.. Hannas convention last
summer will not be forgotten in the light of
later events. While Hanna is mildly pro-
testing, his friends are becoming quite
vociferous. Many things may happen with
in the next few months. No one imagines
that the Hanna -Aldrich Platt Senate leader
ship desires the nomination of Roosevelt.
For many months it has been simply ques-
ton whether or not they could safely oppose
and prevent it, Up to the 1903 elections it
seemed as if they dare not organize an at
are multiplying that the desire to sidetrack
Roosevelt is ripening into a definite plan.
1t would take an enthusiast to express the
belief that he could carry New York against
several Democratic nominees who might be
named The fact is, that Theodore Roose-
welt, New Yorker, though he is, is more of
a Western than Eastern candidate, and in
this atmosphere of loud and vociferous
Roosevelt Republicans we are apt to over
look the more influential indications in the
East. President Roosevelt deserves the
Republican nomination. So did Chester A.
Arthur, but he failed to secure it. A few
months ago opposition to Roosevelt was
scarcely possibility today it is more than
a probability. Once let it take definite form
with an avowed leadership and the organi-
cation which would be available behind it,
and there would probably be presto change
in the political prospectus

become the nominee of his party for the
presidency. Then he still further clinches
his determination by saying: "My deter
mination not to do so is unalterable and con-
elusive"
The cause or causes leading to Mr.. Cleve
lands withdrawal hardly need be considered
now 1t is more than probable that he
would like once more to warm the presiden
tial chair, but he is too sagacious a politician
to be deluded with the thought that another
such election is possible. He knows very
well that he would not ''receive call" when
it came to the question of his election.
There would not even be ray of hope for
him in view of the ineradicable antipathy of
the American people to the three-term idea,
to say nothing of the bitter hostility that
would be encountered from the Bryan wing
of the party.
What will be the next disclosure in the
Democratic kaleidoscope it is hard to pre-
dict. An attempt is being made to throw
Mr. Cleveland's cast-Off mantle upon the
shoulders of Judge Parker, of New York
But Parker is hardly known outside of his
state. He would make a respectable figure
head, but his name would arouse no Demo
cratic enthusiasm. Hill and Whitney are
the only other New Workers. whom the party
would consider seriously, but neither of
them is likely to secure the prize, such as it
may be.
The withdrawal of Cleveland elevates by
several pegs the chances of Richard Olney,
of Massachusetts, or perchance, Senator
German, of Maryland.

NO PARTlSANSHIP IN CRIME.

The United States pOstOtfice department
has been reeking with fraud, and one of the
worst scandals of recent times has been un-
earthed. In concluding his memorandum
on these postoffice frauds and scandals, re-
Gently submitted to Congressional COM
mittee, President Roosevelt gave utterance
to the following, which every good Ameri-
can citizen will heartily endorse, whether he
live in Alaska or in the States. President
Roosevelt said
No crime calls for sterner reprobation
than the crime of the corruptionist in public
life and of the man who seeks to corrupt
him. The bride giver and the bride taker
are equally guilty. Both alike sin against
the primary law of the states safety. All
questions of difference in party politics sink
into insignificance when the people of this
country are brought face to face with a
question like this, which lies at the root of
honest and decent government On this
question, and on all others like it, we
can afford to have no divisions among good
citizens.
In the last resort, good laws and good
administration alike must rest upon the
broad basis of sound public opinion. A dull
public conscience, an easy going acquiesc-
ence IN corruption, lntalllbly mean debaSe-
ment in publicii and such debasement in
the end means the ruin of free institutions.
Self government becomes farce if the rep
resentatives of the people corrupt others or
are themselves corrupted Freedom is not
a gift which will tarry long in the hands of
the dishonest or of those so foolish or so in
competent as to tolerate dishonesty in their
public servants. Under our system all
power comes from the people, and all pun

for the Republicans to increase their ma

must do q good deal of active campaigning
to hold their present control

ELIMINATION OF CLEVELAND.

Grover Cleveland has eliminated himself
as presidential candidate, so far as esti-
mates or conjectures regarding the Demo
cratic nomination are concerned. He is out
of the race unequivocally. Nor is there
even the suggestion of "string" to his
declination, nor is there any likelihood that
he will at any late stage of the convention
follow the example of Horatio Seymour in
1868. Seymour was chairman of the Demo
cratic National Convention that year, and
when the delegates began to press the nomi-
nation upon him, he exclaimed determined
ly: Gentlemen, your candidate I cannot
be-" Then he was nominated, and the nomi
nation was accepted
There can be no doubt that Mr.. Cleve
land means exactly what he says. He de-
clares in letter to the editor of the Brook
lyn Eagle that he will not ''in any circum-
stances or upon any consideration" again

POLITICS IN THE u. S. SENATE.

The Evening Post, of Washington, D. c.,
one of the ablest newspapers of the United
States, has been looking over the situation,
touching numbers, politics and terms of SER
vice of members of the United States sen
ate, with the following result:
The new issue of the Congressional Di-
rectOry shows that the Senate is now
squarely lined up between the Republican
and Democratic parties, not a single mem
Der of the upper house having described
himself or being entered in the summary as
an "independent' of any description. The
membership is complete, with ninety SEN
ators. Of these, fifty seven are Republicans
and thirty three Democrats. Of the Repub-
licans, the terms of twenty-three expire
March 5, 1905, sixteen expire in 1907 and
eighteen in 1909.
OF the Democrats, seven expire in 1905,
fourteen in 1907 and twelve in 1909. Thus
the Republican ranks are more open to at
tack in the campaign OF next year than are
those of the Democrats. The majority
party must hold twelve of it's twenty three
1905 seats in order to retain bare margin
while the Democrats, holding all their own,
must gain thirteen from those twenty three
in order to wrest the control from the
enemy. These twenty three Republican
seats are from Rhode Island, Delaware,
California, Indiana, Michigan, Minnesota,
Wyoming, New York, Nebraska, Washing
ton, Maine, Ohio, Connecticut, New Jersey,
Utah, Washington, Maryland, North Da-
kota, Vermont, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania,
West Virginia and Nevada
OF these, the Republicans have already
carried Ohio and lost Maryland. Of the
twenty one others, the Republicans may be
counted as fairly sure of Michigan, Mime
sota, Maine, Connecticut, Massachusetts,,
North Dakota, Vermont and Pennsylvania,

THE "WILL OF The PEOPLE,"

The city council put the finishing touch
upon it's act of qualification on Monday
night, when it passed an ordinance repeal
ing the registration ordinance passed two
weeks ago, when four of the members of
the council decided that they would per-
petuate themselves in Office until next No
vember
AS is we'll known, the people of Nome
invoked the aid of the law to compel the
recalcitrant city council majority to per
form their duties. When they saw that
public sentiment was almost unanimously
against them they at once began to hedge.
An ordinance was passed week ago fixing
the date of the next municipal election for
April 5, next. The promise was then made
that registration ordinance necessary to
complete their show of good faith would be
passed at the next meeting of the council.
This has been done, but because of its
passage no credit can possibly attach to the
city council majority. The force of public
opinion, coupled with the certainty that the
law was against their autocratic act in at
tempting to perpetuate themselves in power
for an additional period of eight months,
compelled them to rescind their utterly
foolish and unwarranted action.
The spectacles that these men have
made of themselves will serve as an object
lesson to the people of this community for
many years to come They have been
taught the lesson that public servants are
not absolutely the masters even of the peo-
pie of "a remote and isolated community.
Nowhere in United States territory are the
people more jealous of their rights and
privileges than in Alaska: and no small
coterie of misguided alleged politicians and
equally unintelligent advisers can foist
themselves and their indecent public acts
upon the people and expect to receive sup
port.
