A, GLOOMY FORECAST.

To the Editor of The Courant:-
 With this you have forecast of at moSph eric disturbance to take place as follows: From the 18th to the 22dl of the present month there will be a very general disturbance of the atmosphere, probably to be felt on the two conti- nents. It will be of great force, will be accompanied with a tidal wave. A tidal wave does not always reach the coast: often it's great force is confined to the wide space of ocean. Mariners along the coast should be on the look out. The earth is now in the extrum of the quake orbit. There is not much danger to be feared. There may be a slight tremor.
 Yours,

Paris, Sept. 23.-The Spanish

suffered a defeat at the hands of the
Riff tribesmen, and are now in full
retreat toward Melilla, according to
a dispatch which reached the French
war Office this afternoon.
For the past four days. the Span
iards, numbering 10000 men. had
steadily pushed forward, driving the
Moors before them. The battle
reached It's climax yesterday, when
hundreds were slaughtered on both
sides in a bloody conflict, which took
place at close quarters.
The Moroccans for the third time
we're compelled to retreat and reform
their shattered lines. while the vic
torious Dons pushed forward.
Early in the day. according to the
dispatches, the Riff trlbesmen charged
Marlna's troops. All along the six
mile line of the Spanish bayonets the
attack was made simultaneously.
For two hours the fighting was
desperate. Then the Spanlards
slowly began to retreat.

. CHANCE FOR TRADE BooMER.

OhANCb HOh LhdDb DOOlhb NO.
The esteemed American Wool and
Cotton Reporter of Boston, with a
thrifty idea common with New Eng
landers, refuses to see any cause for
pert comment Or coarse jest in the bill
introduced by Representative Sink in
the Nebraska legislature calling for
sheets nine feet long on all hotel beds
within the state. The Boston author
ity comments on the measure without
any thought of microbes or the COM
fort of f~astidious. guests, but with an
eye single to the boom the general
adoption Of the plan would have on the
cotton industry. The Reporter says:
AS the textile and its allied industries
furnish a liberal quota Of customers for
hotel proprietors, and a standard 1Os-inch
sheeting would use up more cotton, give
more employment to mill workers and
benefit the growers of cotton, there is no
reason why the textile Industry should
not heartily endorse such a measure and
agitate in all states OF the union for such
a bed covering.
The thrifty Bostonian comment is
laden with sagacity and fraught with
suggestion. Why stop at nine-foot
bedsheets when there is room for great
Improvement and more cotton in other
directions? The nine-foot bedsheet
would be all right in its way, but it
would be out of all proportion with
the scrimpy towels furnished in the
average hotel. If we are to have nine
foot sheets. the harmonies should be
preserved by insisting upon forty-inch
towels for bathing purposes and at
least thirty-inch towels for the minor
and secondary additions. Some sta
tistician can easily figure out what this
would mean in cold dollars and cents
to the cotton growers of the south, the
manufacturers, the middlemen, the
country stores and to everyone who has
a hand in taking a share of the hotel
mans profits.

A Missouri statesman rips UP the nine
foot bed sheet reform scheme and goes II
one better. He proposes a law forbiddlng
farmers wearing pink socks and patent
leather pumps during harvest time. With
admirable sagacity he insists that the
prevailing color scheme makes a legitimate

FoReETFUL OR NEeLEcrFUL.

In his address to the legislature, Mr..
Bryan undertook to tell the demo-
cratic lawmakers OF his W state
what legislation pending before them
should be passed. what rejected and
what should yet be introduced. Under
o of these three headings did he
put in q word for organized labor, to
which he had held out such glittering
allurements in his recent campaign for
election to the presidency.
Not a word did Mr.. Bryan say N.
advocacy of a law abolishing the
power of our state courts to issue re-
straining orders and injunctions in
labor disputes that would not issue If
no labor dispute were involved. Not
a word did MIR. Bryan say in advocacy
Of a law requiring notice and hearing
before the issue of injunctions in labor
disputes that would properly lie.
Not a word did Mr.. Bryan say Ill
advocacy of a law insuring trial by
jury in all cases for contempt of court
not committed in the presence of the
court.
None of these laws are now on the
Nebraska statute books and the demo-
cratic majority of the legislature has
ample power to enact them.
Neither can It be said in excuse for
Mr.. Bryan that this labor legislation
is not promised in the platform on
which the democrats won out in Ne
braska, even though he urged some
things that we're covered in no plat
form. The platform promulgated by
the Nebraska democrats in March,
1908, contains these promises of
labor legislation more distinctly and
more unequivocally than the Denver
platform and the democratic state
platform of September, 1908. ex-
pressly affirms the Denver platform.
Is Mr.. Bryan after election forget
full of his former labor allies, or is he
merely neglectful of them?

CURRENCY COMMISSION NAorIvI

CURRENCY COMMISSION INACTIVE.
The Arkansas citizen who could not
repair his roof when 1t was raining
and insisted that 1t was as good as
anybody's roof In bright weather ap-
parently established a precedent that
is being followed by the Monetary COM
mission, appointed by congress during
the panic of 1907-S. The commission
came into existence when the financial
interests of the country were devising
plans for meeting the Industrial and
commercial crisis. The Aldrich-Vree-
land bill, an admitted makeshift, was
put through congress and the commits
sion appointed with instructions to
make a thorough investigation and re-
port recommendations looking to a
complete revision of the national cur
rency system. The commission went
on a junket to Europe and appears
then to have suspended it's arduous la
bors since the financial and industrial
skies have grown brighter with the
passing of the panic clouds.
The commission has collected much
information on foreign currency and
banking systems, most of which are
impossible of adoption in this country,
and volumes OF correspondence with
American bankers regarding proposed
amendments of the administrative
bank act. The commission has held no
sessions for the consideration of this
data and has made no report to con-
gress. The most recent calls for in
formation from the commission, made
by prominent bankers, has brought a
letter Gliding the bankers for failing
to take advantage of the opportunity
offered by the Aldrich-VreeIand bill to
organize associations and issue emer-
gency currency. The bankers have
made it plain that they will not organ
lie under the Aldrich-Vreeland law un.
less the measure is radically amended
at the defective points which the
trainers of the law left in unsatisfac-
tory shape. The chief defect was the
provision that a bank having once
Joined one of the associations could
not withdraw until not only its own
obligations had been liquidated, but
until those OF every other unit in the
association had been Hquidated. This
would involve the maintenance of the
