From The Houston Post.
The cotton farmers, merchants

of the Texas division of the South.
ern Cotton association, to hold
cotton for 10 cents a pound. Ac-
cording to all trustworthy infor-
nation on the subject that is avail
able, there is no reason why cotton
should sell for less than 10 cents a
pound. II has been pretty well
ascertained that the crop is below
the normal requirements Of the
world and the indications are that
the volume of the crop will be still
further reduced in what remains
Of the growing season.
The present bear movement has
been we'll organized and will be
sustained unless there is hearty
cooperation between the farmers,
merchants and bankers. Happily,
such cooperation is more feasible
now than ever before. Thousands
of the farmers are independent and
are not compelled to market the
new crop at present prices, but
surely those who for any reason
are compelled TO have money may
be accommodated at reasonable
rates # interest by the banks. At
least many Of them can surely
obtain such accommodations.
We have these conditions at the
beginning Of every season and II il

ported the first open opposition declared
against that Improvement. This was
from the Mission Promotion Associa-
tion, which body has taken a stand in
direct opposition TO the plans of the
committee of forty.
The opposition. led by A. Van Duser
assisted by some of the owners of prop
erty on Valencia street, seems to think
that if the grade should be changed on
Market street IT would be fatal to the
scheme of changing the name of Va
iencia street TO Market street and di-
vert the business that naturally be-
longed to Market street to Valencia
street.
Statements were made that the Mar
ket Street and Eureka Valley Improve
ment Club desired q cut of thirty feet
on Market street, which would affect
four blocks on other streets, while in
reality cut from fifteen to seven
teen feet was proposed, which would
AFFECT only one block on other streets.
1t was admitted that this work could be
done more cheaply now than at any
other time, owing to the facilities for

he sends for the chief of some other
tribe and gives permission for him and
his followers to make war on the NAL

Rajah Brook is very active. He is an
untfring pedestrian and keeps in close
touch with everything that goes on

each lieutenant is answerable to him,

British concern, which works under
concessions granted by Rajah Brook

friendly relations. Foreign powers are

FORMER COMMISSIONERS
MAY HAVE TO STAND TRIAL
Whether They Are Exempt From
Prosecution.

Judge Lawlor will decide on next
Monday morning whether former Elec-
tion Commissioners Z. c. Leffingwell
and ]. A Devote will have to submit
to prosecution on the charge of willful
and corrupt misconduct in Office.
Shortly after their Indictment by the
Grand Jury the aforesaid Commission
ers resigned. They now claim that the
penalty for the offense of which they
are accused is removal from Office and
therefore, being no longer in office,
they cannot be prosecuted.
James A. Devote is now the counsel
for the Board of Public Works and E.
c. Leffingwell holds a lucrative posi-
ton in the Board of Education.
