THE WEATHER AND THE CROPS.


new IN the condition of The cotton
crop. In some portions of the Cotton
Belt there have been heavy rains,
and in nearly all portions there have
been moderate showers. Near the
Gulf coast in several States, includ-
ing Louisiana, Mississippi and Ala
bama, the rain has been rather more
than was needed, owing to the effect.
OF the tropical disturbances in the
Gulf Of Mexico. These rains have
done. no other injury than to inter
fere with harvesting operations.
Very little is now heard of drough-
ty conditions in Texas, and it is prob
able that in that State dry weather
would now be more welcome than
rain, as the picking season is in full
blast and rain would only do damage
to open cotton. 1t is reported that on
the Atlantic coast the crop has act
ually suffered from too much rain, al
though the prospects in that section
are SO good that even moderate set
back will not materially cut down the
yield.
The liberal receipts at South At
lantic ports bear out the claim that
Georgia and the Carolinas have made
good crop this year, and the liberal
exports from that section are in a
measure taking the place of early
Texas shipments, upon which the for
eign trade commonly relies for sup
plies during the early part Of the
season. In the central portions of the
Belt the crop is still late, but picking
is now proceeding vigorously and the
arrivals at outports from that section
will soon become plentiful At Texas
ports the movement bears out the
claim that the crop is late as well as
smaller than last year.
There has been less disposition re-
Gently to underestimate this year s
production than there was some lit
tie time back, but producers are not
yet prepared to admit that the yield
will be other than a very moderate
one, and the farmers associations are
insisting that the crop should bring
minimum of Is cents per pound. 1t
does not look probable that any such
price can be realized unless the farm
ers are in a position to hold back
considerable portion of their crops.
AS long as the movement to market
and offerings remain large it will be
difficult to advance prices.
The rainy weather has greatly in.
terfered with the marketing of the
rice crop, particularly the crop of
western Louisiana. The river crop
has now been pretty thoroughly mar
keted, but the crop of the western
part of the State is only commencing
to move freely. Owing to the impos-
sibility of working in the fields thresh-
ing has been prevented and the move
ment to market has fallen off.
In the sugar district there have

WHAT STANDARD OIL MEANS.

question whether, IN spite OF the COM
pany's enormous profits, the price of
refined oil is not actually less than it
would be if the business were in the
hands of hundred competing COM
panies.
What difference does it make?
Would the saving of a cent or two
gallon compensate the American peo-
pie for all the political, industrial and
economic evils which the Standard
Oil Company has promoted?
Mr.. Rockefeller and his associates
have driven all their competitors out
of the oil business and established
system under which some of the sub
sidiary corporations have earned from
800 to 1000 per cent on the capitai-
zation. They have taken dividends
of $300,000,00O In the last eight years
and poured them into other product
i've undertakings-into railroads.
mines, banks, traction companies, gas
companies, real estate and the like.
The profits from these investments
are in turn reinvested until whole
people is laid under tribute in half
a dozen lines of industry to a single
coterie of men who set themselves
above the law, above the government,
above every consideration except their
own ends.
If this economic despotism is to
find its justification in the hypothe-
sis that oil is cent or two gallon
cheaper than it would have been had
the Standard Oil Company not ruth
lessly and lawlessly destroyed all it's
competitors, then the country needs
the broadest possible extension of
Standard Oil over every branch of
commerce, finance and industry. 1t
would be better if Mr. Rockefeller
and his associates owned all the rail
roads, all the banks, all the mines, all
the manufacturing plants, all the
farms and plantations, and the Ameri-
can people became a nation of hired
servants.
The application of Standard Oil
methods to the entire railroad indus
try would probably cheaper the cost
of transportation. The application of
these methods to banking might low
er the rate of interest a fraction of
l per cent. Devoting themselves to ag-
riculture in general, Mr.. Rockefeller
and his associates could probably
raise wheat, cotton, corn and hay
cheaper than competing farmers can
possibly do it, and certainly Stand
ard Oil management would reduce the
operating expenses of every factory
over which it was extended.
If American individualism and
American opportunity are so paltry
that they may safely be bartered for
the difference of cent or two gal
lon in oil, then Mr.. Rockefeller and
his associates are great public bene-
factors. Instead of being prosecuted
they should be encouraged to assume
dominion over all the economic activi-
ties of the American people.-New

He had stacks Of them when his last
fight for the senate came along. Then
he sorted out the letters, eliminating
those from people who were dead, and
on the back Of each letter wrote:
Dear John or Bill-Do you remember
when you wrote me this letter and do you
remember that did what was asked? I
want your help now in my fight for the
senate. Can I have It?
The politicians in Pennsylvania say
those letters, mailed to the original

backs of them, had as much as any one
thing to do with Quay's winning his

Who Fra Diavolo Was.

Fra Diavolo was the nickname given
Michele Pezza, celebrated renegade
monk and Italian brigand, who was
born in 1850. It should be noted that
the opera of Auber has nothing in COM
mon with Fra Diavolo but the name.
Pezza was first stocking weaver,
then soldier in the Neapolitan army,
then soldier in the pope's service, and
finally he became monk, but was ex-
PEELED. In the mountains of Calabria
Pezza took to brigandage, and such
was his notoriety and so great were his
cruelties that the people nicknamed
him Fra Diavolo. It isaconsoling to
know that he was eventually executed
in 18O6-New York American.

THE HIGH WATERS.
Terrible Flood. Levees not Expected to Stand. The Break Nay Come
 Any Hour.

The flood situation in and around Memphis this (Friday) morning is at it's most critical stage.
 At late hour last night the waves were tapping over the levee at Holly bush 0ust above Memphis on the Arkansas side) where the terrible break of 1903 occurred. It will be re- membered that the flood then put all of the railroads going into Memphis from Arkansas. entirely out of com mission so that all traffic with Mem phis that was done, had to come via St. Louis. The same conditions may be expected this time if the break does come.
 The ARGUS man saw the angry
 waters around Memphis Wednesday and it was ) dreadful sight. The
 rushing waters extended for miles and
 miles in some places were like a
 storm ridden angry sea. Dotted about here and there was the roof oi
