aid from the public treasury. "The
condition is by no means met" Mr..
Cleveland writes, "by the meagre and
spasmodic relief occasionally furnished
under the guise of military pension
or some other pretext. nor would 1t be
best met by making compensation de-
pendent upon the discharge of senator
ial or other duty. Our people ought "a
make a definite and generous provis-
ion for all cases alike. based on motives
of justice and fairness and adequate TO
the situation" Mr.. Cleveland describes
the limitations that his former high Of
flee place on a retired president in his
choice of occupations and means OF
livelihood. and how popular conception
of him as a repository of national dig
nifty enforces a scale of living that may
not be within private means. There
is a sort of vague but none the less i'm
perative feeling abroad in the land,
SAYS Mr.. Cleveland, that one who has
occupied the great Office Of president
holds in trust for his fellow citizens
a certain dignity, which in his conduct
and manner he is bound to protect
against loss or deterioration. Obedi-
ence to this obligation prescribes for
him only such work as in popular
Judgment is not undignified. This sug-
gests without argument reciprocal
connection between the curtailment OF
opportunities and a reasonable obliga-

Curtailment.

After a considerable amount Of talk
and hesitation, spinners have begun to
curtail their product.
At the time the spinners first began
to talk of curtailment the cloth manu-
facturers were claiming good prices for
their product, and the impression was
that there would be no curtailment.
The spinners gave as a reason for
curtailment the fact that the commits
sion men could not sell, and that, OF
course, meant that the weavers and
knitters would not buy.
Now, that the weavers are beginning
to curtail, there Is no reasonable ex-
PLANTATION beyond the fact that the pub
lie is not inclined to buy.
Of course, If the buying public cur
tails, the weavers have to curtail, and
if the weavers have to curtail the spin
ners have to curtail, and if the spin
ners have to curtail it is time for the
growers to think of curtailment.
If the grower will only realize it, he
is in a better condition to curtail than
anybody else.
The weavers can only make cloth
and the spinners can only make yarn;
but the grower can make anything ne
wants to make.
If the grower now has on hand a
surplus of raw cotton. it will be just
as well for him to hold up u while and
not make so much next year.
Hog and hominy pay better than
cotton anyhow.

THE SPECULATIVE MARKET.

The price Of contract cotton on the
exchanges has been rather weaker dur
ing the holidays; but now seems to be
growing stronger. An Associated Press
dispatch Of last night summarizes the
developments Of yesterday on the New
York market as follows:
The feature in the cotton market to-
day was the January notices which
caused considerable activity and the
sharp advance in prices. The close
was steady at a net advance Of II to 26
points. Sales were estimated at 350,000
bales.
The market opened firm but very ir-
regular at a decline Of points to an
advance Of Is points. The near months
were lower owing to reports that no
tices representing about $4,000 bales
had been issued on January contracts,
but as January sold up from 1890 to
1912 during the first few minutes the
indications were that the weak interest
in January had been liquidated and
that the notices were being promptly
stopped. This view Influenced the later
positions on the call and shortly after
the opening the active months were
selling 10 lO ~ pOlllS iiShCi 90 q iC-
suit Of covering and bull support. Dur
ing the middle Of the day the market
reacted several points from the top
and ruled quiet but became more ac-
tive again toward the close when the
near months were particularly firm on
reports of higher spot markets in the
south, and last prices were within a
point or two of the best level for the
day. In the late session January sold
within II points Of March, whereas
January was 81 points under March at
the close last week. 1t was reported
that the spot houses commonly refer
red to as the December bull clique, had
both issued and stopped the January
notices and there was rumor that the
cotton was to be shipped out to Liver
pool. Aside from the notices there were
little features to the news and trading
was largely local.
Receipts at the ports today 77,915
bales against 4S,749 last week and H.
237 last year. Receipts for the week
100000 bales against 54,341 last week
and 314,492 last year. Today's receipts
at New Orleans 22.S61 bales against
27.S41 last year.

quirer a most entertaining and instruc-
tive treat in the shape Of letter from
the Isthmus Of Panama, by Mr.. Robert
G. Lee, formerly of Fort Mill township;
but now employed on the canal work
Mr.. Lee will be remembered as the
author of several original, human in
terest, short stories Of considerable lit
erary merit that have a. peared In The
Enquirer from time to time, and the
letter we have just received possesses
the same charming characteristics that
were notable in his previous produc-
tions. 1t describes life and conditions
in Panama in a sympathetic style that
will appeal with especial force to our
readers, and we predict that it will be
enjoyed by all of them. Not only will
our readers enjoy the letter; but they
will be instructed and informed by It
They will get better idea Of condi-
tions down in Panama than they have
ever had before. 1t Is our present
intention that Mr.. Lees letter shall
appear in our next issue; but If not In
the next it will certainly appear in the
issue following. Those who miss 1t
will be the losers.
