Americas Great Achievement.

John Morley in The Nineteenth Century.
OF democracy originally British, the
most astonishing and triumphant
achievement so far has been the pre-
serving absorption and incorporation
across the Atlantic of a ceaseless tor
rent of heterogeneous elements from
every point of the compass into one unit
Ell. stable, industrious and pacific state
with s0,000.0o0 of population, combining
the centralized concert of a federal sys-
tenn with local independence and uniting
collective energy with the encouragement
of individual freedom How does this
stand in comparison with the Roman en-
pire OF Roman church or the Byzantine
empire or Russia or Charles the Great
o. Napoleon?

TO Judge by the stoppage of 5000 bales
of March tenders In New Orleans and
by the pressure which was brought to
bear against shorts here as soon as this
incident was announced. March in New
Orleans sold at TO, although May in the
same market did not get higher than
7.54 There was a good deal of uneasiness
among May shorts here, and at one time
that option sold IA points higher than
July. The main strength of the market
appears to come from covering by shorts
rather than from any pressing demand
from exporters or consumers,
New Orleans advices are that spots are
not as strong as futures. and that fac
tors who are disposed to meet the mar
ket find it difficult to secure an equiva-
lent advance. The movement continues
on grand scale, which is but natural
at the end of the month. and the total
insight for March will probably be 1,0s5,
600 bales, against 477000 las; year and
previous high record of 10000. The pros
pect Of early peace no doubt had cons
cradle to do with frightening out shorts,
but this afternoon an authoritative state

New York, March S0.-The market
turned up sharply today. with May SELL
ing over $50 and October at the same
figure Two days ago October sold at
7.52. The situation has not changed In
the least, and there is a large short in
terest in the future market
As we have pointed out for some days,
the census report is the last bear gun
of the season, and it has been fired. Now
we will begin to hear of the reduced acre
age and all that sort of thing. Anything
that happens now to the crop will help
the price. On such fiurries as we had to-
day 1t is well to take profits. as the mar
ket will be here all the summer long and
there will be plenty of weak spots to buy
cotton on.
But at TIC in New York, cotton is very
cheap, and there is every inducement now
to play the long rather than the short
side, 1t will require an advance of I'M
portance to attract cotton here, and this
Is the object of those who hold May con-
tracts. Cotton won't come here at tx or
79c. 1t will take an advance of Sc to
bring cotton to New York There is go
ing to be an active cotton speculation
this summer. II you want to be on the
ground start early with few hundred
bales. Buy on all breaks.

late deliveries were depressed by south
ern selling, wire houses offerings and
professional selling. Receipts continue
heavy.
After the call prices rallied few points
on some local covering bringing late
months even with close and near months
2 points net higher. The upturn brought
out active opposition from the room
bears, making any permanent advance
difficult to sustain. Prices eased off a
few points. but the market failed to de-
velop weakness. May displayed strength
of no mean order and maintained the
carly premium of ~ points over July.
Shorts were decidedly uneasy over the
May situation and seemed to fear further
growth In the premium
Price was said to be buying. May, after
selling at 7.65, advanced as high as 7,s1,
the highest point yet reached on this
move.
Liverpool was steady at the close, at 1
point higher than last night. Port re-
ceipts for the day $4,000 against 1000.
We still advise the purchase of May

to cross cents before the close of the

Edward Ajax Held Up Early This

a tale of distress softened the heart
of a masked and armed highwayman
early this morning. Edward Ajax of

While he faced n revolver nuZzle
Ajax was on his way from the last
Saltair train to his home. He was
walking along Second South street and
had reached the corner Of Second West
street He has been i'll lately and be-

buggy to rest. While he was there a
masked man slipped up behind him.
Ajax turned, to face a revolver muz-
Zie. The robber demanded his money.

no place-to sleep tonight. Do not take
my money"
The bandit questioned him and Ajax
insisted that he was poor and in sore
need OF what little cash he had.
Keep quiet, and keep your hands in
the air." said the robber. He marched
Ajax out to the sidewalk-the buggy
was in a vacant lot-and made him
go down Second West street to Third
South.
Ajax reported the matter to Patrol
man John Corliss and Patrolman
Clark. They gave the report to the
