Cotton Reports. Hereafter.

When the new cotton year is begun a change wisely ordered by Congress will be inaugurated. The guesses of the agricultural department and the reports of bales counted at the gin neries by the census bureau will be published simultaneously. The next reports from the two sources of in formation or transformation will ap- pear on September or 8.
 The ginners' report of the census bureau may not be comprehensive. Some gins may not be included, and some may furnish manipulated figures, but with all it's possible deficiencies it is more trustworthy than the mere guesses of anybody or any department.
 The law requiring simultaneous pub lication of the two reports will soon lead to the abolition of the agricul- tural department guess board, and it should lead to frequenter reports from / the ginneries, about SO,O0O in number, The size of the crop Is deeply interest ing to all parts of the world, and the government will spend money wisely if it counts the bales as fast as they are rolled out of the ginneries. There is no other place where the big crop can be counted, but it can be counted by the ginners, and the government can and should do it. The importance of our chief export crop-the chief crop in every respect grown in the country-calls for accurate counts of the bales, and the census bureau has already demonstrated how and where this may be done.

Camnainn Funds.

"The dirty dollar of the privilege seeker,' says the Wall Street Journal, 9is being succeeded by the clean dol lar of true democracy" This doctrine or declaration, coming from the depths of Wall street, almost takes one's breath away, but the change from the big sums contributed by the trusts to small sums contributed by the people has come to stay, and woe will it be to the party who does not conform to public sentiment as it stands today. The methods of the past are very dead indeed, and each party is striving to get as far from them as it possibly can do
 The Wall Street Journal thinks the government itself should assume the cost of political campaigns. It defrays the cost of elections, and in several of the states it pays all the expenses of primaries. Why" asks the Journal, "should it not go one step further and defray the cost of presenting the is- sues to the people? That would ap- portion the expense of campaigns equally upon the people, and would eliminate to a very large degree the corruption of politics which has been made possible through the collection and disbursement of campaign funds"
 Surely novel and bold proposition, but if public sentiment travels upwards as fast in the next two years as it has in the two years last past, 1t will have become feasible and even desirable. The people think today that anything is better than corruption in politics, and the cost of campaigns will not be considered controlling if in that way honest expressions of the public will unswayed by privilege seekers can be procured.

the church. each claiming paramountoy in university affairs The board of trust has thus far controlled the uni versity. and the college of bishops nov rises up to dispute it's powers. It is an irrepressible conflict and the new com mission of lawyers has been appointed to ascertain if possible which has the better legal right in matters pertain- ing to the university
 The board of lawyers which has this important question before it consists of Creed F. Bates of Tennessee, Judge Orear of Kentucky, John A. McCul, tough of South Carolina, John A. Rich of Missouri. and Judge Newman of Virginia. When their report is pre- sented the mooted question will be carefully summed up, and the hope Is expressed that the summing up will be so clear and convincing that both the board of trust and the college of bishops will accept its conclusions.

Battle of Sharpsburg.

The battle of Antietam or Sharps- burg was fought on September 16 and IT, 1862, the second year of the war. It turned back the first invasion of northern territory very much as Gettysburg turned back the last at tempt to carry the war to northern soil. It closely followed the second Bull Run, and if Lee had had big army nothing could have checked the march of his legions. He had but 40,- GOO men, whereas Mcclellan had ST. GOO. These figures are those accepted by the historians, and they certainly do not underrate General Lees strength. The battle took place on creek which flows into the Potomac about six miles above Harpers Ferry, and after two days of desperate fight ing Lee recrossed in good order that river at Shepherdstown.
 General Lee had just defeated Me Clellan at Bull Run, and General Jack son had just captured Harper's Ferry, taking there 12,000 prisoners. McClel- Ian marched out from Washington to stay the sweep of the Confederate forces, and the two armies met at Sharpsburg. The times were bright on this side of the line, and correspond ingly dark on the union side.
 Beyond all doubt Sharpsburg was pivotal Gettysburg has long been con sidered the turning point of the war, but no doubt the British tacticians are right when they put Sharpsburg for ward as the climax and crisis of the war. On Salisbury plain they recently fought over the historic battle under the changed conditions of warfare, and in that way public attention has been called to the great battle fought on Maryland, soil in 1862, in which Wash ington barely escaped being fianked and the rich cities of New York and Pennsylvania lay exposed to the mer cies of General Lees victories soldiers

--+es------ WORLDS BUSIEST STREET.

From Leslie's Weekly.
 West street in New York presents a network of piers and docks for its whole length. Most of the great steamship and railway transportation companies have their pier terminals there and other steamship companies have built their ter minals on the New Jersey shore opposite; so that all transatlantic and a large share of the continental travellers must cross West street in coming to or leaving the city. When one considers the great num- Der of short-trip travellers, including com muters, who daily make their way in and out of the metropolis across this busy thoroughfare, faint idea of its import ance may be gained. Manhattan Island has 32 miles of water front and the, city of New York derives, approximately. $s. 100000 yearly in rentals from it's docks and ferries. Of this great revenue the West street section, from the Battery to and including the new marginal street which extends from Gansevoort street to Twenty-third street, yields almost two- thirds. In this section the Pennsylvania Railroad company alone pays the city more than $223 GOO a year for the privilege of maintaining its freight and passenger terminals. The White Star Steamship company is paying $S5,000 apiece yearly for two piers. These figures give an idea of the great value of pier privileges along Wall street.

Church and State in France

The Pope's encyclical letter to the archblshops and bishops of France Is deeply interesting to the French peo- pie, but it is not letter that is easily considered. The new law provides for the organization of cultural associa- tions to take over the churches. These associations are condemned by the Pope, but he does not say wha1 inter vening plan would be acceptable. Doubtless the bishop in each diocese will be left free to deal wlth the sub. jcct.
 Possibly, too, the encyclical looks tc negotiations that will smooth the way to a church conducted on American lines-to a compromise of some sort The new law dissolving the union be tween church and state does not go into effect until December 1, and a plan may be worked out that will be cSNSRNetpAS to both church and state.
 One thing only is certain in this great movement-it Is far better for all concerned that the church should be placed on an absolutely independ ent footing, freed from politics and from all political control The new law looks in the long run to a church in France as independent as the Cath ollie church is in this country At the outset there will be government aid but in the long run the churches are to be self-supporting The Pope urges all to avoid in this crisis violent action advising instead the adoption of all means within the law and cooperation

AN IMPORTANT DECISION.
Fine of $toooo Imposed for substitut
 Ing Labels.

Special from St Louis Globe-Democrat.
 St Louis, August 13, 1906,
 Jacob, alias James Goldgraber, a sa- loonkeeper, of 2soO Market street, St. Louis, Mo- recently Indicted by the grand jury for using Anheuser- Busch Budweiser labels, taken from empty bottles and put ting them on bottles containing beer brewed by other brewers and selling same as Budwelser, was convicted and fined $1OO in Judge Moore's court.
 The case was vigorously prosecuted by Campbell Cummings and is the first of several similar proceedings in which he will appear for the brewery. The case was begun Monday and continued Tues day until the jury went out at 3;S0 p. m Within an hour and half verdict of guilty was returned against Goldgrab- CT, but Henry Stelman, who was a CO., defendant was discharged
 owns the saloon and that Stelman is em- ployed as a bartender. The contention of the Anheuser- Busch Brewing associations attorney was that his client suffered much annoyance and pecuniary loss by the prac- tice of some saloonkeepers of substituting 'Budweiser' labels for those of cheaper grades of beer.

Oliver of Tuscaloosa.

After William Buck Oliver of Tusca- Ioosa, solicitor of the Sixth district, had retired through an elevator to his cham Der last night, an acquaintance of his remarked:
 That man will represent the Sixth dis trict in congress some of these days. He is one of the strong men of the Sixth, and man in whom people place implicit confidence. He has served the district for sometime, and is one of the popular men in 1t. Mark this prediction, he will oppose Captain Hobson one of these days, or the man who immediately succeeds the hero of the Merrimac."
 MT. Oliver is well known In Birming ham, where he has goodly number of friends. He reports splendid conditions in Tuscaloosa. The most interesting political campaign in the Sixth is between four able men for two seats in the legislature.
 Solicitor Oliver arrived in Birmingham last night and will remain here through out the day.

People Easily Excited.

"The excitability of the Birmingham public,' remarked a travelling man last night lis very striking to compara- tive stranger, and illustrates the nervous tension under which people in this town are constantly laboring.
 'iAs an example the other day one of the police officers was in hot pursuit of a negro for some minor offense, and find ing that the man might get away from him, fired twice with his pistol, presum- ably to frighten the negro. The sound of the two pistol shots and the sight of an officer after a fleeing offender seemed to electrify the entire town. Men seemed to spring from the very ground and join in the chase and when the poor frightened darkey was finally run down and cap- tured the crowd which was present was said to number hundreds of people In some way the rumor started that the cap tive was a murderer or something of the sort, and several persons in the crowd surrounding the officer and his captive yelled, Lynch him. And all of this about a negro who was charged with disorderly conduct
 This Is only one of many instances which I have noticed at various times since have been making this town, and it has always struck me as being very pe- culiar that some of the most prominent and steady business men of Birmingham should lose their heads when anything out of the ordinary happens on the streets. At any rate. 1t is a sign that Birmingham Is a sure enough city, for the citizens of most of our small south ern towns are too lazy and indifferent to allow anything of the sort to stir them from their wonted calm"

EXPLORER RIDES A TURTLE.
De Rougemont Shows London Audi
 ence How Easy It Is.

From the London Daily Graphic.
 Six years ago M, de Rougemont ap- peared before the geographical section of the British association at Clifton and de- scribed with much wealth of detail his remarkable adventures in the heart of the Australian continent. He included among them some striking "reminiscences of the pearling industry in Australia, and added that, having been wrecked, he occupied some part of his leisure by riding turtles in the lagoon of his desert island. Yes terday, after the lapse of many days, he appeared-in a striped bathing blanket and bathing sult-before British audi ence at the Hippodrome to demonstrate the truth of this part of his narrative.
 There is no ground for supposing that it is the same turtle which shared M. de Rougemonts solitude in Australasia, or that it is a confederate in any way. Yes terday It lay placidly by the Hippodrome lagoon while M. de Rougemont lectured once again on his entertaining experi- ences, and 1t gave no sign of intelligence while he described the whole art of turtle riding. Suddenly the explorer flung off his blanket and seizing the turtle un- tremendously by the scruff of its neck and the back of it's shell hoisted it into the water The turtle sank, but rose again. M de Rougemont went in after it and in moment was on its back. Down it went again and then once more rose. This time the rider grasped 1t firmly, crying, "Ta 'Ra Ra." and slapped it with some severity. It was an exciting and amusing entertainment from the specta- tors point of view and M de Rougemont also appeared to enjoy it very much. Of the turtles enjoyment we have. some doubt, but its general attitude was that of a passive resister. At any rate M. de Rougemont did ride it.

NEW YORK AND LONDON.
Items of Greatness In Two Biggest
 Cities In World.

From the New York Sun.
 It is said of London in praise of its greatness that:
 In London child is born every three minutes and death is recorded every five minutes. The city contains 700 rail- way stations, 5000 omnibuses, 1000 han sons, 14,OOO cabs and 1000 tramcars. Daily 100000 persons travel on underground railways.
 Eleven railway bridges span the Thames. Four thousand postmen deliver 100OO'oO0 letters weekly, walking dis tance equal to twice the circumference of the globe. There are 10000 miles of overhead telegraph wires. and the num- Der of telegraph messages received in London in a year is 60OO,OOO.
 Ninety million gallons of water are consumed daily. The railways, omnibuses cabs and steamboats convey 1,173, ,O00,000 passengers yearly and the underground railways 2630O0,00O passengers.
 The 118 square miles of London are lighted by 4974 electric arc lights 1i85 descent gas lamps and 1s,24s flat flame gas burners.
 Well. New York can do something in the same line of municipal greatness.
 With smaller number of inhabitants than London it exceeds 1t in the volume of travel, in the amount paid for work in the volume of work done and in the increase in the number of buildings, oc- cupants of building and of popula- tion.
 Where London consumers 9o,OoO,0O0 gal Ions of water a day, New York con- sumes 5oO,o00,OO0. Where London has an area of 11s square miles, New York has 326.
 In New York every minute two immi- grants arrive-more than 100000 year. Every six minutes child is born. Every seven minutes there Is funeral Every hour a new building Is erected.
 New York has more children at its public schools than London; fewer paul pers; a lower death rate fewer uninhab- lteQ IlOustSs ulOI6 blid6CSf fewer jails, better distributed street traffic and a higher standard of health.
 New York's subway carries more pas sengers in a day than Londons under ground The number of crimes of violence is twice as large in London as in New York, and the number of arrests for drunkenness in London is four times as great as the number of arrests for the same cause in New York.
 New York has more fires in year than London and they entail greater loss. It has less shipping as a port than Lon don fewer clerks to the whole popula- ton employed, but more bosses or em-
