The New York Commercial has poll
ed the cotton states to get opinions as
to what the size of the current cotton
crop will be. 1t has received several
hundred replies. Averaging these, it
gets crop total of 11.2SS,S3S bales.
The guesses range from 1O,OOO,O 900 to
100000 bales. In all probability the
average of all the guesses-for the es-
Inmates are no more than guesses-
will be found pretty nearly correct.

There are. to be sure. some callow
youths, who imagine 1t makes them
mannish. that swear in public places
and common conversation. But we be-
lieve it to be true that the men. of
position and self-respect, who swear
in common conversation are few in
number and that the number is grad
ually growing smaller.

TOO MUCH FURNITURE.

Rev. Charles Wagner. author of the
Simple Life" who is in this coun-
try to tell us that if we lived more
nationally we should be happier, makes
a strong point against the furnishings
in modern homes. He says, and truly,
that the majority of homes of we'll
TODD people are marred by the fur
niture in them, whereas they should be
ornamented. In the first place, there
is altogether too much furniture, and
most of it is in shockingly bad taste.
Instead of limiting themselves to ar
ticles that are needed, most persons
who can afford to do so fill their rooms
to the point of overlooking with chairs,
tables, stools, divans, what-nots, has
socks and whatever else the dealer has
to offer. The consequence is that the
room is stuffy, crammed, cramped and
oftener than not i'll smelling. For even
a teetotaler to successfully navigate
such a room is a feat.
The owner of the room imagines that
volume of possessions in the shape of
furniture is marker of elegance, in
dependence and good taste. Parson
Wagner takes just the opposite view.
He says a cluttered-up, stuffy room,
filled with all manner Of things that
are useless, is a sure sign of lack
of mental poise or good taste, or both.
A few pieces of furniture, of the kinds
that are needed, accompanied with
scrupulous cleanliness and good ven
tilation, he holds, is a much prettier
fitting for a room than a riot of veneers
and reps and chenilles and vases and
jardinieres filing every nook that Of
fers space, and accommodating dust day
after day.
People who get the most out of life,
Parson Wagner tells us, are those who
carry the least possible impedimenta;
who do not burden themselves with
useless things, and who value clean
illness and airiness above show for the
mere sake of show. And he is, of
course, right. But will his precept be
accepted by the American people? AS
a people, We are fond of show, and
of impressing ourselves and others with
our Importance. Undoubtedly it would
be better for us to live on roast beef
and potatoes and cornbread; but when
ever we can do so we indulge in foies
gras, truff1es and champagne; and we
are as prone to stuff our houses as well
as our stomachs with things that would
better be left out of them.

EFFECT OF LAWSON's ARTICLES.

EFFECT OF LAWSON'S AHTACLEs.
One effect of the articles of Thomas
w. Lawson on "F'renzied Finance" is
to create a tremendous sentiment in
favor of legislation against the cor
porations and trusts which are sup
posed to have obtained valuable fran
chises at small cost, and another is
to swell the ranks of the Socialists.
If the great corporations got their val
liable charters by bribing Legislatures,
and many will accept that conclusion
from what Mr.. Lawson says, there will
be very great increase in the de-
mand that they be made to disgorge
some of their wealth through the me-
dunn of heavier taxes. When they
plead that already their burdens in
that direction are about as heavy as
they can bear they viii fail to arouse
any sympathy, because of the belief
that they obtained their charters by
unlawful means, and. that too. with
out paying anything like the worth of
them. The fact that Mr.. Lawson men
lions only one Legislature that was
bribed and only one corporation that
bought charter will be overlooked.
The impression will be that about all
of the great corporations used i'm
proper means to get their charters, es-
pecially If their charters are very
valuable.
And many people will be so Disguised
with what they believe to be the cor
ruption of the old parties and will be
so satisfied that most OF the rich men
fair methods, by, in fact. robbing the
people by means of bought legislation,
that they will rush headlong into the
Socialist party, believing it will event.
ualy come into power and assist the
poor to get larger share of the wealth
which labor creates.
II what Mr.. Lawson is writing is not
true the parties attacked ought to take
steps at once to make the fact clear.
II they are innocent and make no eff
fort to make their innocence evident,
they will be looked upon as being gull
ty of the offenses with which he
charges them. 1t will be said they dare
not bring him into court to prove the
charges he makes so freely and boldly.
At first there was a disposition on
the part of the newspapers to ignore
the articles, because probably there
was doubt as to the amount Of truth
there was in them, but they go into
such detail and mention so many well
known names that they have become
the sensation of the day. and it isn't
possible to ignore them any longer.

SUIT FOR ACCOUNTING.
Eleanor Finley Maurer Demands the
Performance of a Trust

Proceedings in equity were instituted to-
day in the Supreme Court of the District
OF Columbia by Eleanor Finley Maurer.
through Attorneys NJ. N. Richardson and
Charles H. Merillat, against H. Pierce
Waggaman, the object being to secure an
accounting and to compel the performance
of a trust The complainant asks the
court to declare Mr.. Waggaman a trustee
and to require him to pay into the registry
of the court 81 500. with interest which. it
Is declared was procured from the COM
plainant upon representations and promises
that it would be invested in per cent
interest bearing deed Of trust which would
be turned over to her.
According to the complainant she was
absolutely without experience In business
and the 81, 500 mentioned constituted her en-
tire savings of years. Later 1t Is added
she discovered that the money had not
been invested as promised After discover
ing that fact, the complainant says. she
was induced to accept the defendants note
for 81 500, on which interest was paid for
a time, but which, 1t Is declared, has ma
tured and remains unpaid and on which
she Is no longer receiving interest.
Mrs. Maurer charges that being without
experience she gave up a trust receipt for
a personal note, but she states that she
had no purpose to relieve the defendant
from his trust obligation. The court, as
stated, Is asked to declare Pierre Wagga-
man trustee and to compel him to pay into
court the amount named with interest.

THE WORD AMERICAN"
CONSIDERED A BETTER 1DJEc-
TIVE THAN "UNITED STATES.
It's Use Extended to Consular loficers
in Foreign Countries-The
Present Practice.

Persistent inquiry at the State Depart
ment fails to show that any change has
been made in the official designation of the
diplomatic or consular representatives. of
the United States in foreign countries They
will continue to represent phe United
States of America" and their commissions
will continue to be made out In that time
horored form. For instance, Mr. Choate is
commissioned as the Ambassador plenipo-
Tertiary and envoy extraordinary of the
United States Of America" to his majesty,
King Edw ard, etc. Provision for his salary
and expenses Is made by Congress under
that title and that is his official designation
for all essential legal purposes The same
is true Of the commissions of all other dip
lomatic and consular officers. Furthermore
they are so commissioned by the President
of the United States"
AS a simple matter Of convenience the Of
flcial residences of the diplomatic of1cers
abr DAD are described on the official mall as
THE American Embassy ana -Ihe Amer
lean Legation" according to grade. The
printed envelopes used by the Department
OF State in correspondence with its diplo-
met officers have the words department
Of State, U. 8. A." in large type on the up
per left-hand corner. Underneath the for
NAL title and name are the printed words
american Embassy or American Lega-
tion," as the case may be. 1t is stated IN
the diplomatic bureau THAI ILLS W dStASo
was adopted many years ago and that no
orders affecting it have been received re-
Gently.
It was learned in another quarter. how
ever. that what Secretary Hay has done is
simply to extend the same system to the
consular officers in foreign countries Their
official domiciles will hereafter be aes aE
lean consulate general" american con-
sulate'' or American commercial asl agency"
to suit the individual cases. The commits
missions Of the officers, however, will not
be changed, and they will be officially and
actually officers Of 1.-The United States"
appointed as such ''by the President Of the
United States" 1t is explained that there
is no purpose or disposition to ignore the
name 1.-The United States,' as the proper
legal title of our country and government.
and that all that has been done is to au-
thorize the use of the term American" as
an adjective simply for convenience where
the words United States can not be eu-
phoniously employed. Even as it is. the
change as applied to consular offices is
merely an oral instruction of Secretary Hay.
and has not taken the form of a formal
written order.
