THE COTTON MARKET.

NEW YORK, Dec. 16.-The cotton mar
ket opened steady, at unchanged prices, to
n decline of 4 points. in respons to cables.
and during the first few minutes sold at
q net loss of 41p6 points on the active
months under bear pressure and liquida-
ton promoted by fears of Southern spot
weakness. The failure to uncover stop
loss orders around the low level caused
some covering. and during the middle of
the morning prices were two or three
points up from the bottom.
The market was weak and unsettled
during the late forenoon, with prices about
6 to 8 points net lower. or well below the
level of last week. January sold at $50.

in every charge, stating at the conclu- sion, of many of them that he could find no neglect on the part of the dis trict attorney or any good reason for other or further action than that which was taken by him. The charges in the main accused the district attorney of alleged neglect of duty in not suffi- ciently prosecuting alleged fraudulent acts of the Metropolitan street and other railway companies of New York and also of the insurance companies as developed by the legislative insur- ance investigation. One of the charges alleged misconduct on the part of the district attorney in shaking dice in restaurant in New York city. On this charge the commissioner says that, al- though the act itself is not criminal, permitting it on the part of the per sons licensed-that is, the proprietor of the restaurant-is a crime. The com missioner holds that there was no evil dence that the proprietor knew that act was committed and that to hold him criminally liable would be an absurd perversion of the object of the law and straining of its language.
 In his general conclusions Mir. Hand says:
 What information this committee may claim to have had as to the con- duct of the district attorney. upon which they have assumed to make these seri- ous charges of improper motive. abject veneration of mere money and the pos- sessors of money. neglect of duty. off, cial misconduct. conspiring with crimi- nals. throttling prosecutions and de- feating justice we can only infer from the fact that its chairman and secre- tary concede their utter ignorance and seem to have signed such charges as the counsel saw fit to prepare without real knowledge even of the content of such charges and in absolute ignorance as to their truth or falsehood. and the counsel himself is forced to admit that
 he had no greater knowledge or infor-
 nation than they"

hor socialism the Republican party has gone halfway toward socialism in in dorsing it's fundamental principle. The Socialist bases his contention on the theory that competition is bad and that an economic advance is to he found in monopoly. The Socialist, how ever, wants the public to have the ben eft of the monopoly and therefore fa- vors government ownership and opera tion of all the means of production and distribution. The Republican party has gone almost as far as the Socialist par ty in the economic defense of the mo- nopoly, but it permits the benefits Of monopoly to be enjoyed by compara- lively few men who have secured a dominant influence in the go ternment

 Monroe was found walking along a road and gave the officers but short chase. Apparently submitting willing ly to his captors. he was not closely guarded and while being led by a grain field made break for the cover afforded by the grain.
 The officers emptied their revolvers to bring him down. but failed. The authorities are now working with the officers from New York state in an ef- fort to run him down with blood hounds.

 Albany, N. Y., Aug. 25.-Richard L. Hand of Elizabethtown. who was ap- pointed by Governor Hughes to take testimony and report his findings upon the charges filed against District At torney William Travers Jerome of New York county by minority stockhold- CTS committee of the Metropolitan Street Railway company, in report submitted to the governor decides that not one of the series of charges is proved and declares that all are dis proved upon the evidence.
 He recommends the dismissal of the charges. A demand had been made for Mir. Jerome's removal.
 Governor Hughes has not as yet act ed upon Commissioner Hands report.
 My conviction upon the whole case" says the report, ''is that the respondent has been shown to have discharged the onerous duties of his office with zeal and ability, having the public good as his motive, and that no incapacity. in- difference or neglect of duty has been shown in any case"
 The commissioner sustains the con- tentions of District Attorney Jerome
