The good Lord has seen fit to cut
down the cotton crop again. A few
years ago there was sort Of tacit
agreement to cut the crop down in
all the Southern States. This was
kept in some sort of a way. That was
a step in the right direction OF raising
prices. The next step was to hold
1t for the spinners' price. Both these
steps are necessary. 1t is all tommy
rot to talk that holding for a price
will get the price for all the cotton
that might be raised. 1t will surely
get the price for all that is sold, but
Won can make so much cotton that 1t
will not all be demanded at high
price. The moment that it reaches
such a price that 1t is too high to
use, the use will be cut down to some
extent. and that part of the crop will
be left on hand, and will bring no
price at all II overcropping is gone
into to a much larger extent than it
now is. there will slowing up in de
mand, and then cotton holders will
stampede, and all the good work OF
the last ten years will go to the bow
vows.

was presented to Queen Victoria she
Indicated that he be seated by that
Slight motion of her plump hand
which all England obeyed. Tucker
was portly and heavy, and the only
available chair was fragile and small.
He appeared not to notice the invita-
ton. a moment later it was repeat
ed, for even at that first interview be-
gan the queens liking for Minister
Tucker, which ripened into such an
Intimate friendship as no other Amer.
lean ever enjoyed with her majesty.
Still, the weakness Of things terres-
trial was more potent than the finger
of Victoria, and Tucker again ignored
the command Then the queen put it
in words, when Tucker, with pro-
found bow. replied:
Your majesty. l never sit in the
presence of royalty
Il accept the compliment at your
hands" replied the queen; and now
you must accept comfort at mine"
Comfort" exclaimed Mr.. Tucker.
"Why, l should break both my back
and your majesty's chair if l attempt
ed to sit on it!'--LippincOtts
