ONE LANcuAcE FOR GERMANY.

Germany does not propose to have
the troubles which afTiict Austria, and
has begun measures to provide that
there shall be but one general language
under the flag. Germany is not nearly
no Magyars. and the proportion Of
Slays---that is. Poles, Wends, Lithuan.
ians and Maj ovians-is not nearly Sc
great. There are also in the Empire
many Danes and other Scandinavian
of the same blood as the Germans, but
who speak different branches of the
language. Germany will not be both
erea any more than possible with ths
particularism" of these different peo-
pies, and bin now before the Reichs.
rath regulates public meetings by pre-
scribing that all the speeches and pro.
ceedinSs shall be in German. This In
an assertion of governmental authority
| only possible in monarchical country
,The Polish Deputies. who represent thu
most advanced of the Slav tongues. are
IN angry opposition to the bill. and
make as much disorder in the Reichs-
rath as they will be permitted to in
terfere with the discussion OF the biz.
The Poles are prouder of their race
than any other member of the SIay
family, and they are fond of recurring
TO old and dead history when the Poles
saved the Germans from the alI-con-
quering Turks. They have even tried
to stir uG' the Poles in Austria to have
forma' protest by their Government
against this abolition of the Polish
speech. The Poles have never ceased
TO dream of the rehabilitation of tina
old Kingdom of Poland, something thai
the rest of Europe will not endure, and
this blow at their language the Poles
feei' and quite rightly, is a mortal thrust
at their hopes. The Germans are reso.
lutte, however, and the bill will certainly
pass. They say positively that there
must be but one language in Germany,
and while the Poles and others may usa
their language at home and in buying
and selling among each other, that
when they come into a meeting they
must speak German only On the other
hand, the Poles assert that the action
IF the Germans Is dictated by blind,
unreasoning hate and the superiority
which the Germans manifest on every
possible occasion over their Slavic fell

THE WIRE MONUMENT.

An Associated Press dispatch says:
Savannah, Ca, Jan. 24.-The inscrip-
ton for the monument to be erected by
the Georgia Division, Daughters of the
Confederacy, at Andersonville, to the
memory of Maj. Henry Wirz, C. S. A,
has been prepared and adopted. There
will be an inscription upon each OF the
four sides of the monument. On the
face of the monument will be this le-
gend:
In Memory Of
Maj. HENRY wIRz, c. S. A,
Born in Zurich, Switzerland.
Tried by illegal court-martia1 under
false charges of excessive cruelty to
Federal prisoners, sentenced and judi
cially murdered at Washington, D. c.,
Nov. 10, 1865.
That the United States Government,
not Maj. WirZ, is chargeable with the
suffering at Andersonville, there is
abundant proof furnished by friend
and foe Let the fact that he chose an
ignominious death rather than bear
false witness against President Davis.
speak for his high qualities of honor,
fortitude and self-sacrifice.
To rescue his memory from the stig-
ma attached to it by embittered preju-
dice and ignorance, and to restore it to
its rightful place among men, the Geor-
gia Division of the United Daughters of
the Confederacy has raised this shaft.
Every sentence in this is absolutely
and unqualifiedly false. In the first
place, the trial was as legal and formal
as anything judicial connected with the
war could be. The court was composed
of the most distinguished men, men in
whom the public then lad and still
retains the highest esteem and conf
dence. The order for the court shows
this. 1t reads:

COTTON MARKET
Is UNSETTLED
Close Steady At Decline of 8
to IS Points
LOCAL BEAR PRESSURE
stop-Loss Orders Are Caught on the
Decline-Larger Wall Street
Bulls Are Reducing
Their Lines.

New York, November 30.-The cotton
market was weak and unsettled today,
closing steady at a net decline of to
Is points. Sales were estimated at 275.-
900 bales.
The opening was steady at an advance
of points on December, but generally
unchanged and the active months weak
ened right after the call under liquida-
ton and local bear pressure. Stop loss
orders were caught on the decline and
it seemed to be apprehended that some
of the larger Wall street bulls were re-
ducing their lines.
Early offerings were pretty well alb
sorbed and toward midday there was a
slight rally, after which prices again
weakened on rumors of an easier spot
situation in the Interior the low point
being reached in the late trading when
active months showed a net loss of 8
to IA points December was relatively
steady.
The market closed at practically the
low point of the day, although there
seemed to be little better demand from
commission houses in the last half hour
Beyond the rumors of easier interior
markets these seemed to be nothing
fresh in the situation to serve as an ex-
PLANTATION of the decline which was quite
generally attributed to liquidation by
tired longs and local bear pressure in the
absence of bull support.
Cables were about as due. Southern
spot markets were generally unchanged
to Lice lower
Port receipts for the day exceeded early
estimates but were exceeded by the day s
exports and private crop estimates pub
lished during the morning were below
the average estimate by New York cot
ton exchange members last week, rang
ing from 100000 to 100000 bales.
Receipts at the ports today, 1886 bales
against 6SS51 last week and 41,572 last
year. For the week 425OO0 bales against
4S6,1O7 last week and 373,627 last year. To-
days receipts at New Orleans 49, 56S bales
against 7S49 last year and at Houston
22,921 against 11,615 last year.

was of portentious effect on sentiment
This was partly due to the announce
ment of privilege of the underwriters of
the previous 100000 issue of these
bonds to subscribers in the present case
at 80, although the bonds sold Sat
urday in the market at high as 9os4. To-
day they declined to 81 and the companys
shares all fell two points. While the
original price of the underwriting of the
first 500, 100000 was at 941a the price of
the syndicate was accompanied by an in
dication that less than 10 per cent of the
underwriting had been disposed of. 1t was
inferred that the terms offered to the
former syndicate members for subscrip-
tions to the new issues are designed as
compensation for some former sacrifices.
The effect of the announcement on the
general market, however, was bad. The
money market was unaffected by this, or
by the arrangements for the December
settlement. There was some further adj
vance in foreign exchange rates and gold
exports to France continue under dis
cussion.
Bonds were easy; total sales, par value,

IN CHURNlNG PROCESS
Artificial Character and Skill of Such

ers in Movement.

, New York, November 30.-Indeeision
marked the speculation in the stock
market today. The price movement was
extraordinarily mixed and the conflict
ing movements seemed to be SO nearly
balanced in their power to affect senti-
ment that neither was able to prevail.
That the market was being subjected to
churning process by powerful hands was
the fairly obvious inference from its
action.
The artificial character of such move
ments the skill with which their real
origin is concealed and the entire uncer-
tainty as to their ultimate purpose drives
out the wary from attempting to follow
and to snatch an advantage from the
rapid fluctuations in prices.
The most conspicuous of the opposed
movements today were those in ST. Paul
Ind in United. States Steel. st. Paul
bowed aggressive strength at different
lines and the brokers employed to do the
buying of the stock gave the impression
of an accumulation by the most pow
erful financial groups habitually active
in the speculation. On the other hand
there was persistent selling of United
States Steel, some of the individual trans
actions being in enormous volume. The
shares with ST. Paul. in the upward ten
dency were for the most part amongst the
less conspicuous low-priced stocks The
usual market leaders, including the Har-
rinan Pacifics, the Hill stocks, Amalga-
mated Copper, and Reading were inclined
to move in company with United States
Steel.
No fair idea of the incoherence of the
days movement can be conveyed without
this detail of the course of individual
stocks The upward spurts, at different
times in New York Central, Chesapeake
and Ohio, and the Rock Island issues,
had no explanation in new developments
affecting the properties. They were at
tributed for the most part to activity on
the part of stock market pools in the
stocks The feature of the day in the
wider financial significance was the evil
dence of the capital requirements open
ing before the markets. The announce
ment of the sale of S5o,0o0,00O of American
Telephone and Telegraph convertible
bonds to bankers seemed unexpected and

Hubbard Bros. & Co.'s Letter.

New York, November 30.-(Special.) ,
While the market opened quiet at Sat
urday's closing prices selling orders soon
appeared from several of the Wall street
houses which had been prominent on the
buying side during the past month. These
offerings were more than the market
could absorb and a decline with one
or two rallies followed to the close which
WIS steady. Buying orders from other
points in the north were the factor which
l.r -ehte1 n sharp break as the south was
selling here against shipments Of cor
rect for delivery reporting the interior
market as easier. The movement for this
week promises to be as large as last
week although the rainy weather over
Sunday in the southwest should check
the receipts. Liverpool should be two
points higher tomorrow.
