THEN AND NOW.
Eighty Years Retrospect of an Eng

Eighty years ago in an old house
OF an old English town, q little bov

call OF the watchman on the street.
and loaking ct the servant lighting
the fire with the flint, steel and tinder-
box of the olden time. writes Goodwin
smith in the Cornell Era. Since that
morning what changes!
The main storm of the French rev.
olution may he said to have ended at
Waterloo. Bur there has been a Sc
rles of afterblasts which has changed
the political face of all Europe and is
now apparently extending itself to the
hitherto stagnant east We NAV set
down in some measure to the same
account, the overthrow by civil war
OF the same power in the United
States.
The impelling force everywhere has
been democracy generally triumph
ant, advancing to rule apparently
even in Russia, and in England COM
pletely possessed of the legislative
seat Of real power, the house of COM
mons, though a remnant of aristo-
cratic control still retains a precari-
Gus existence in the house of lords.
The United States now, instead of
being the vanguard of democracy,
might almost be said to be its rear
guard, the power of the president and
the senate making it's constitution in
some respects the most conservative
of the set.
Not less, but rather more moment
Gus than the political movement, and
fraught with ultimate change, is the
advance of science, which in two or
three generations has been almost mi
raculous, and has carried mechanical
invention with it. Mechanical inven-
tion with steamship, rail and tele-
graph is bringing the nations into far
closer communication and making Of
them in some respects almost one
commonwealth.
In one way, unhappily, invention
has been retrograde. 1t has always
been increasing the construction of
| new instruments Of war, the incen-
tive to enmity between nations or the
appeal to violence and destruction.
The growth of physical science, or
the increase Of it's influence over the
mind, has had the most momentous
effects in another sphere Those

| first heard them, spoke to ali hearts
alike, both of home and the church.
To not few they now speak of the

| rapidly and startingly over the intel
ectual world.

The consideration of this question
can not, however. be completed and
full without reference to the negro
race. it's progress and it's present con-
dition. The 18th amendment secured
them freedom; the 14th amendment
due process Of law. protection Of
property and the pursuit of happi-
ness and the 18th amendment at
tempted to secure the negro against
any deprivation Of the privilege to
vote, because he was a negro. The
18th and the 14th amendments have
been generally enforced and have Sc
ured the objects for which they were
intended. While the 18th amendment
has not been generally observed in
the past, 1t ought to be observed, and
the tendency of Southern legislation
today Is toward the enactment Of cleo
toral qualifications which shall square
with that amendment. OF course the
mere adoption of constitutional law
iS oiliy oHe Step III Tie TlSut ulTectlOn.
1t must be fairly and Justly enforced
as well. In time both will come.
Hence 1t Is clear to all that the DOM
ination of an ignorant, irresponsible
element can be prevented by consti-
tutional laws which shall exclude
from voting both negroes and whites
not having education or other quail
fications thought to be necessary for
proper electorate. The danger Of
the control of an ignorant electroate
has therefore passed. With this
change. the interest which many of
the Southern white citizens take In
the welfare of the negroes has in
creased. The colored men must base
their hope on the results of their own
industry, seif-restraint. thrift and
business success, as we'll as upon the

SPECULATIVE MARKET.

The developments In the speculative
cotton market yesterday from the New
York viewpoint were as follows:
There was very sharp early ad-
vance in the cotton market today
with the nearer months making new
high records for the season, but sub
sequent fluctuations were irregular,
part of the gain was lost, and the
close was steady at a net advance Of
to 10 points.
The opening was firm at an advance
of 5 to IA points and the market sold
IA to II points net higher during the
early trading, on active covering, bull
support, and fresh buying for long ac-
count which was undoubtedly due to
more bullish private crop report
than expected, higher cables, bulltsh
spot talk, and prospects for local rains
in eastern and central sections Of the
belt, where dry weather Is supposed to
be needed.
Realizing was very heavy at the ad-
vance and prices eased off few
points, but offerings were very well
absorbed during the entire day and
the leading bulls appeared to have
great confidence in their position. The
close was at practically the low point
of the day. The private condition re-
port mentioned above made the aver
age condition 1913 per cent against the
report by the same authority last
month of 82.1 per cent thus suggest
ing a deterioration Of some points
for the month.
Receipts at the ports today 4.4S5
bales against 4.276 last week and A.
387 last year. For the week 3O,OOO
bales against 33.505 last week and ST.
236 last year. Today's receipts at New
Orleans 624 bales against 296 last year.

MERE-MENTION,

Ex-Governor Smith of Georgia, has
resumed his law practice in Atlanta.
Mr.. Smiths practice is said to have
been worth about $4,000 a year be-
fore he was governor. .... Alfredo
