why COTTON
REPORTS
Varied

Washington, Dec. "a statement was
Issued at the department OF agriculture
today recalling how In December OF last
year the bureau OF statistics OF the de-
partment OF agriculture made a prelim!-
nary estimate OF the production of cotton
for the season 190i-5 OF IL. 163. 900 bales. and
that subsequently the bureau OF the CEN
sus issued reports showing the total pro-
ducuon TO have been 13, 43S, 900 bales. both
amounts being exclusive of linters.
This showed an apparent discrepancy of
93 per cent, the estimate OF the bureau Of
statistics OF the department OF agricul-
ture being apparently that much too
small shown BY the actual facts dis
closed by the census reports later on.
The statement explains that the census
bureau expressed the production OF the
year in question In bales OF 800 pounds
gross weight, or AIS pounds net weight. as
far as square bales were concerned, such
bales constituting 9S.3 per cent OF the
crop. The estimate OF the bureau of sta
tistics expressed as IN net weight
bales, which an examination OF the fig
ures used By the former bureau stats
tician, Mr. Hyde, shows TO have been
estimated at 506.2 pounds.
The statement says that had the census
bureau and the bureau OF statistics used
the same basis in reporting and estimat-
ing the number OF bales produced, the es-
innate OF the bureau OF statistics would
not have been considered as seriously out
OF the way.
To secure uniformity in methods OF
statistical expression as between different
bureaus OF the government. the state
ment adds the bureau OF statistics OF the
the department of agriculture decided, in
making the estimate Dec 4 OF the prooa-
bic yield OF cotton this season. to ex-
press the same in bales OF the same size
as the bales reported by the census bu-
reau, thus establishing uniformity and
enabling a ready comparison OF the fig
ures emanatng from the two bureaus.

standing ON Main street about 400 feet

The burglars divided into two squads.
and simultaneously one OF these squads
rushed upon each OF the officers with
drawn revolvers before he fully real
lied their purpose.

pears in the Spectator this morning. This

'sThe essential issue 20 be placed before

given no excuse to evade that question
or TO pretend that the home rule issue has
taken its place"
The Spectator further expresses the be-
lief that Sir Edward Grey will be ap-
pointed secretary for foreign affairs, and
says IL thinks that the foreign policy
could not be placed In better hands.

washington Dec 9.-Economy and re-
trcnchment. especially along the two
lines suggested by President Roosevelt in
his message cent TO congress last Thurs
day. is to be the slogan of the house com
mittee on appropriations this winter II
the representatives who were on that
committee last congress are again en-
trusted with the duty and responsibility
OF framing the greater part OF the sup
ply bills OF the country
A member OF the appropriations COM
mittee In the Fifty-elght congress was
asked yesterday: Have YOU in mind any
particular subjects which offer them
selves TO the pruning knife?" We'll, you
know" was the reply. that the presi-
dent recommended cutting off superf!u-
Gus offices and reduction OF the print
ing bills Certainly. In view OF that TACT
something can be accomplished IN these
two directions"
In what way?" Secretary Hitchcock
has pointed out a set OF officials In his
department whose services he says may
well be dispensed with.
when the Keep commission now inves-
ugating the organization and conduct OF
the executive departments, shall have
concluded it's labors. doubt not that con-
gress will learn OF other officials and en-
ployes whose numbers may be reduced
without detriment TO the public service.
And there is that admittedly large class
OF employees no longer capable OF render
ing efficient service whom the heads OF
departments humanely refuse 10 dismiss
Notwithstanding the perfunctory declara-
tion annually made In appropriation bills
that none OF the money carried by them
shall be used TO pay employees incapita'
ted for rendering satisfactory service.
"If congress would courageousy take
hold OF the situation and refuse 10 appro-
pirate for these clerks very considera-
BILE sum could be saved. fne same result
might be reached also. by limitation
upon the period which any employe oi
the civil establishment might remain or
the rolls"
II Is apparent, from the tenor or tho
discussion in the house and its action up
on the Panama canal emergency appro'
priation bill this week that great care
and close scrutiny are 10 mark the con
sideration OF measures opening the
doors OF the treasury" to use a phrase
somewhat overworked in the counse OF
that debate, and that the action OF the
heads OF the several departments In re-
ducing their estimates OF expenditure for
the fissAi year 1867 5000, 900 below the
total appropriations for the current year
will at least be equalled by the house.

that President Roosevelt is i'm hearty ac-

In fact. it was stated further the same

Civil service reform has, within the past

In enforcing the new policy, President
Roosevelt will have the fight of his life

A great deal Of bitterness has beer
