CAPTAIN *. ID. GRAHAM DEAn
=" VI FORMER GoSerfor w. A.. Gra-
nam Leaps From Sixth Story of ,
Washington ADartmcnt House and
receives Injuries Which Soon Prove
Fatal.

Washington, June 27.-Captain Rob-
'ert u. Graham, n lawyer 65 years old
who served in the Confederate army
throughout the civil war, and the son
OF a former cabinet officer, leaped from
the portico Of a window of the sixth
noor of an apartment house today and
was so seriously injured mat he died \
lew minutes after being picked I'D. He
lad been i'll for some time. and II is
nough became Respondent. The coro-
Ter gave a certificate OF death from
suicide.
Captain Graham was a native of
North Carolina, and a son of William,
A. Graham, at one time governor of
tiiat state n at one tine s~ecretarv Of
the navy under President Pierce. The
deceased was for four years secretary
OF the civil service commission during
the first administration of President
Cleveland. 1t is expected that the re-
mains VIII be taken to North Carolina

bear those Ills we haV
Than fly to those we know not of.

1t is evident that President ROOse-
welt need have no fear of race suicide
in his native city no matter what may
be the conditions elsewhere. The re-
port of the health department of New
York city for the week shows that
during that time there were two thou
sand and eleven births within her Dor
ders during that period. This makes
me recorded birth every five minutes
during the week. This is at the rate
of thirty-one per thousand of popula-
ton which is the highest Of any city
i'll the United States. Five or six
years ago the rate was twenty-six per
thousand. Last year it was thirty
one. For some reason, we do not know
what, the health board expects the
rate to reach thirty-two to the thou
said of population. These figures rep
resent the births recorded. 1t is not
possible that the health board in a
city of the size of New York can Sc
cure reports of all the births within
their Jurisdictions; SO it is reasonable
to suppose that the birth rate is larger
than the figures above given.

POOR A

Poor Kuropatkin. IL death has come
to him while in the performance Of
his duty, under existing circumstances
and conditions ne is more deserving
of congratulations than of pity.
Through nc fault Of his which he|
could have corrected his life proved al
failure when the supreme test came
In the eyes of mis- country he mad
brought disgrace Upon it. The fact that
he was overwhelmingly defeated and
his army routed by the despised Jap
anese was enough to condemn him in
the eyes of the Russians of his class.
They did not take into consideration
he fact that he vas master of those
only which his government
had furnished him; that he was not
responsible for the unpreparedness as
regards equipment and properly trained
troops to Withstand the deadly and de-
termined onslaughts of the enemy. His
countrymen looked only at the results.
1QeY tOOk uO uSCu vi IHC IIuC CdooCo
which produced those results.
To him death in the contest against
his %country's enemy must have been
far preferable to the life of shame and
contumely which was destined for him
among his countrymen had he survived
the final defeat and consequent humil-
iating peace.
While our sympathies are with the
japanese we have great sympathy for
this Russian commander who was plac-
ed in a position where awaited him
either death or living disgrace for not
accomplishing the impossible, knowing
all the while that defeat of his ARMY
and failure of his plans were due to
i~ncompetency and fraudulent practices
of others over whom he had no con-
troll and against whom, because of their
| exalted position, he dare not maxi
charges.
To Kuropatkin, thus situated, death
| must have been met-not with resigna.
tion-but with grateful sense of the re.
lief it brought.
Many a man welcomes death who has
| less cause than did Kuropatkin fol
thinking it harder to
bear those Ills we have
Than fly to those W. know not of.

1t seems to be pretty we'll proven
that John Paul Jones was appointed to
the navy from North Carolina" Con-
gresham Burton's letter to Governor
Johnston written in January, 1889, is
almost conclusive proof of that fact.
We hope Senator Simmons will be able
tc establish this fact to the satisfac-
ton of the navy department., sc that
it will appear upon the monument
which is to be placed ove his remains
when reinforced in the naval cemetery
at Annapolis.

THE ADVANCE IN COTTON

The cotton market for futures seems
to be soaring skyward these days. 1t
has taken a jump that has surprised
everyone except those who have ma
nipulated the bulge. OF course they
were prepared for it and had gotten OIL
the long side of the market in order to
reap the benefits of the jump in prices.
We suppose some planters have reaped
benefit from the recent rise, but we
expect the number is very small.
1t is too late for this advance in
price to affect the acreage planted fol
the next crop, and we are glad that it
Is so; for we believe that the only way
for the planters to control the price so
as to make it correspond with the de-
exceed the demand and then when that
crop is gathered to market it with
judgment. In this way We believe the
planters can control the market--to
some extent at least.
Had his rise come Il while earlier it
would have had the effect of causing
many farmers to break their agree
ment us to reduction OF acreage and
we would have had forced upon us
mex fall Il repetition Of the conditions
at the opening Of the present crop sea-
son. \ big acreage would mean low
prices for the coming crop. Reduced
acreage means higher prices. No
farmer who has cut short his acreage
this spring should feel blue over the
present advance in price for the fu-
ture months. That advance now is
simply an indication of better things
which may be expected as the season
advances, because of the acreage re-
ductiOn. The present advance may be
and probably is a manipulation on the
part Of the cotton gamblers, for the
supplies of but few of the cotton mills
are this early beginning to run very
low, but it is an indication of what
may be expected later on in the cot
ton year. Many mills will run short
before the new crop is put on the mar.
ket and to get the cotton they have got
tc pay better prices for it. Because
OF the reduced acreage the expectation
is that next crop prices will open high
S" that those now holding cotton will
not turn it loose at the recently pre-
Valiing prices in order to help the
mills tide over the time between the
exhaustion of their present supplies
and the coming in of the new crop. In
other words, this present rise in prices
indicates that the spectators expect
the new crop prices to be much higher
than they We're last fall.

1T is a remarkable circumstance
that the same country should have pro-

Gerful specimens of both extremes of
human nature. Even in things indif-
ferent the Scotch Puritan would hear
of no compromise: and he was but too
ready to consider all who recommend
cd prudence and charity as traitors to
the cause of truth. On the other hand,
the ScOtchmen of that generation who
made a figure in Parliament were the
most dishonest and unblushing time
servers that the world has ever seen.
Perhaps it is natural that the most
callous and impudent vice should be
found in the near neighborhOod of un-

Where enthusiasts are ready to de-

rifed into importance by a squeamish
conscience, it is not strange that the
