When Russia and Japan come to
settle the terms of peace all the other
powers should keep hands off and let
them make their own peace treaty.
Only one demand should the outside
parties make and that is the open
door to foreign commerce in the east
ern countries. This should be secured
for all alike. This is as far as n
power should go. Beyond
this Japan should be allowed to secure
what advantages she can as the result
of the war. She is entitled to all she
can make out of Russia, and no other
government should interfere to pre-
vent her getting it.

ID. J. SULLY AND THE BEARS.

The bears on the New York cotton
exchange do not relish the idea of D. J.
Sully's temperance in the speculative
market. They hasten to let it be known
to the whole country that he is not a
member of the exchange. The New
York Herald Of last Friday contained
the following announcement
Cotton brokers, members of the New
York cotton exchange, are becoming
alarmed at the publicity attending the
market operations of their former as
Sociate and fellow member, D. J. Suliy,
and have sent word broadcast that MIR.
Sully, the deposed cotton king, is no
longer a member of that body. Official
announcement was made yesterday at
the exchange to this effect, with the
request that publicity be given the fact.
No secret is made of the hostility of the
bulk Of the members to the Late leader
of the cotton market, and the promise
is made that he will never again be-
come a member
The bears are afraid of Mr.. Sully.
From past experience they know that
if he says cotton is too low and he de-
SireS TO raise the price he will do SO,
provided he can get the hackers. and it
is aid he already has the promise Of
sufficient funds. The bears will make
a strong combination against him and
there will be a determined effort to
keep him down. Whatever may be Mr..
Sully's motives in bulling h cotton
market, he is in this action the friend
N b~enefactor Of the cotton planters.
We do not claim that he has any spe-
cha friendship for them or that he is
going to bull the market for their ben
eft. We suppose he would fleece a
southern cotton planter who gave him
the opportunity IN a deal in futures as
quickly and with the same unconcern
that he would a New York cotton ex-
change bear. His sole object is to make
money for himself and those who back
him. This time his motive may be
some of those who deposed him as the
cotton king and drove him into bank
ruptcy two years ago. Nevertheless,
the results of his action, no matter
what his motives, will be Of benefit 10

EXTRA SESSION OF CONGRESS.

So the president announces THAT con-
gress will be called in extraordinary
session I'm october mex for h purpose
of passing some Legislation on the ques-
shon of further control by the national
government of Interstate railroads and
for tariff revision. In the meantime &

emit conditions as TO railway matters
and will report at that session in Or

hgently than 1T could have don at the
last session. The bill which passed the
mouse during the latter days Of TIE
Last congress died with the expiration
of that body and another Will have 30
be introduced anew and passed upon
by the house as well ais by the senate
during the next congress. The repub-
aican majority in this Jul of repre-
sesrtatives will be larger than 1t was
m the last. What effect this will have
upon THE fate of such a measure re-
mains to be seen. 1t is not Likely,
though, that tthis fact will affect 1t
either way. AS this is an adnninistr1-
ton measure 1T is natural ito suppose
that a larger republican majority viii
give greater assurance of success In
the house. The slight changes in the
senate will not affect the Measure either
way. It lis we'll KNOWN, Though, that
with it's large majority in that body
the administration has much opposition
in fthIs matter. There will be a despe,-
ate effort made in THE senate to defeat
any such measure as that which passed
