BANKERS BUYING COTTON.

The news comes from New York
that leading bankers in that city have
ben buying much cotton during the
past fifteen days. They have no use for
cotton because they have no mills.
The only thing that could induce
them TO buy cotton would be be-
lief that it is too low and will go up
in price later on.
This is a straw that should be con-
sidered by all who have cotton on
hand. Ii bankers see profit in buy
ing at present prices, why should not
farmers hold and get the increase if
il comes?
The future price of cotton depends
upon the size of the next crop. II
a large acreage is planted. the price
will remain low. If there is small
acreage, all who hold their cotton
ought to get q better price in the
spring. The part of wisdom for
farmers would be TO refuse to sell
their cotton for price less than the
cost of production, reduce the cotton
acreage and raise hog and hominy

RULE SHOULD BE ENFORCED.

The rnIes of both the Senate and
, House require that the title or every
bin introduced should disclose inc
purpose of the bill. 1t is nos suni-
cient 10 entitle a bill as. one 10
amend a certain section OF the Code
or 10 amend certain chapter or me
laws of a certain year. Such titles as
these give, no index to the contents or
purpose of the text and are not IN
compliance with either the law or the
shirt of these rules. The rules We're
adopted in order that the tide OF the
bill should give public information as
10 the character of the bills before
the General Assembly, and these rules
ought to be rigidly enforced. We all
know that within the last few years
more than one bill has passed under
titles like this when the legislature
had little >or no~idea of the nature or
the bill passed. The thing to do is to
enforce the rule strictly and require
that the title of every bill should
be a brief synopsis of its c>nteats
Then there will be no mistakes made
ton of the Code or TO a section OF
some act. Not every person has a
Code. in fact, the edition was eX-
hausted two or three years ago. and
no one can buy Code lest he acc'-
IDENTITY find secondhand copy and
the acts of the General Assembly never
have been generally circulated They
are issued TO magistrates and pubic
officers. To the average reader of a
newspaper the caption of a bill amend
ing a section of the Code or a section
of the law and giving no further in
formation, conveys no information
kteyer and it is difficult for that
6def to obtain information, whereas
the introducer of the bill knows it's pur-
port and with dozen or two words can
give all the information necessary. 1t
might be said that the newspapers
should instruct their reporters to ex-
anime these bills and give their mean
ing. To do this would require at least
a dozen reporters in each house amt
very likely they would not apprehend
the true purport of the bills. certainly
not SO we'll as the introducer.
This is matter that we take the
liberty of bringing to the attention of
the President of the Senate and the
Speaker of the House. They will favor
the whole State and give light also to
the members if they Will enforce this

Spirit of the Press
Take No Chances.

Norfolk Virginian-Pilot.
The fear of the Southern States that
the arbitration treaties now before the
Senate for ratification might in their
present form be used to facilitate the
collection of bonds issued by them
Turing the carpet bag period and since
repudiated may or may not be
groundless, but this is matter in
which no chances should be TAKEN To
preclude such a possibility the treaties
should be SO amended as to remove
Iii possible doubt on the subject.
The majority of the members of
the Senate, it is reoprted, are OF the
opinion that these fears arc without
foundation. If they are sincere in the
expression of this opinion and without
any Interior motive, then there can
be no logical reason why they should
not agree to the treaties being SO
amended as to make assurance doub-
sure" on this point.
1t is reported that there is dis
position on their part to meet their
Southern colleagues half way in this
matter and make the scope of the
treaties perfectly plain by adding q
prohibition against submitting TO ar
)itration claims against States. 1t is
earnestly hoped that this report is
true. We would like to see the trea-
ties ratified, but we are opposed to
any ratification taking place until such
amendments have been made as will
emove all possible doubt on this Loint.
The matter is one of too great inn
portance for the Southern States TO
take any risk in regard to it. Let this
point be definitely settled and then
go ahead with the ratification OF the
tree ties.

THEY WANT MORE THAN THE
POUND OF FLESH.

And now comes the news from
Washington, via the Russell Butler
Schafer route, that this precious trio
who, with like associates, have assumed
the duty of preserving the honor of
the State" will make application to
the Supreme Court of the United
State to compel North Carolina to pay
fees to Russell and Butler and the
other lawyers whose cIicanery engin-
eered the fraud upon the jurisdiction.
Under the decree of the court, ten
shares OF stock Of the North Caro-
lima tpar value Of 100000 sub
ject to first lein. can be
sold to pay South Dakota. That is
all that the five to four decision gave
to the 'conspirators, who as Cover
nor ana Senator paid to protect the
interest of North Carolina. turned
traitor to their State, and secured the
connivance of South Dakota to the liti-
CATION that has behind it many Pan
dora's boxes of evil.
The State of North Carolina has set
tied this debt with every creditor eX-
cept the powerful interests behind
Schafer who have an Interior purpose
to subseryc and who have pressed this
matter for ends that would put mill
lions of dollars into their pockets. AS
to the South Dakota debt, the State
Will make no resistance to the decree
of the court and South Dakota will
get the proceeds Of the bonds when
sold under the decree. If it chooses
to pay Butler, Russell & Co.. for their
treason out of what it gets, that is
South Dakota's business. But it Will
be q cold day in July when any MEM
Der of the North Carolina Legislature
votes dollar TO pay them for their
base conduct.

of flesh nearest the heart, but it will
not permit the shedding of zone drop

THE TONE OF A TYRANT.

While other newspapers were think
ing just what to say about ]. J. Hills
refusal to arbitrate the telegraphers
strike, John F. Carroll, editor of the
Oregon Daily Journal, said 1t in no
uncertain tones. The following is the
sentiment of the Journal. which is
unanimously indorsed:
]. ]. Hill promptly and decisively
rejects the overtures for compromise
and settlement of the telegraph oper-
ator's strike on the Great Northern
and Northern Pacific railroads, hotly
declaring that no compromise will be
made, nothing will be submitted to
arbitration, and no striking operator
will ever be re-employed upon these
roads.
Regardless of the merits of the con-
troversy on either side, this is an in
defensible position for a man like Mr..
Hill to take. He is badly mistaken
utterly wrong, when he assumes that
all the rights and power are properly
his, and that this large body of i'm
portant employees has none which he
is bound to respect or consider.
Hill. puffed up with power, has be-
come a tyrant. The tone of his re
fusal shows that He doesn't care
what is fair, what is just, what is equi-
table, between magnate and work
ingmen; he has power, the working
man has not; therefore as soon as the
workingman demands fair and just
treatment he says in effect: Get out,
,ou cur, and starve: never come to
me for work again."
This is the spirit that animates ]. j.
Hill, and many other men in similar
positions. Their language, and actions,
and policy, with respect to the treat
ment of employees in such cases, is
going to breed scabs on their noses
ere long.
The time will come, must come,
when a large portion of the power
now exercised by such unreasonable
and insolent employers will be shifted
upon more worthy If humber shoul-
ders
