New York, November 19-The cotton

an opening decline was gradually recov-

ing only 8,096,000 bales ginned to Mo-
vember A. and estimating that this con-
stituted SO per cent of the crop, was corr
siderably more bullish than yesterdays
rumors, and after the overnight selling
orders had been absorbed, the market
became steadier with buying for southern

posed to reflect the replacing of long cot

CITY IS FLOODED
 WITH BAD MONEY Half Dollars, Dollars and Five Dollar Gold Pieces
 Being Circulated. TESTS WERE MADE,
Cashier Bloom. of Citizens Bank Makes Discoyerries-GoNer
 Detectives May Be Called.

Counterfeit coins, both gold and silver, of many denominations, are in circulation in this city, and there is possibility of government detec- tives being called here with view 70 locating a plant in this section of the state. Within the last few days many silver dollars and five dollar gold pieces, that are so perfect as to be almost beyond detection, have been passed at local business houses, and in some instances counterfeit half-dollar pieces have been used with success.
 Five counterfeit dollars were taken in at one of the local banks yester- day and during the afternoon Cashier M E. Bloom, of the Citizens Bank, who is an expert on silver and gold coins, made test of a fine specimen of a five dollar gold piece and pro- nounced it counterfeit. The gold piece is one of the most perfect pieces of bad money" ever seen here, and the acid test was all that
Pine Bluff daily graphic., 1909-06-27

revealed it's imperfect qualities. The gold piece was taken in over the counter at Altschul's cigar store, and Mir. Bloom stated that it would have passed as a good coin anywhere. 4 small dent in the coin created sus- picion, and Mir. Bloom was asked to make the test. He applied strong nitric acid and mariatis to the coin, and only after several applications did the coin change color. When t did turn it was only a few minutes before it had been converted into a black piece of metal Some of the gold coverings was. still visible, how ever, after the test was made.
 The coin is dated 1882. and has every mark of being perfect. Under woods Counterfeit Reporter gives no description of a counterfeit gold coin of the kind taken yesterday. It does give descriptions of many of the bad silver dollars which have been circu- lated in this city of late
 Cashier Bloom suggests that every merchant exercise care in receiv- ing money over counters and in other ways. He declares that there is more counterfeit money in circulation in this city at this time than at any one time in his long career as banker

ABUSE OF THE FLAG.
Planting National Emblem on Ca
 Tracks an Unfortunate Move.

Planting National Emblem on Car
 Tracks an Unfortunate Move. Baltimore News.
 In the course of the riot in the street car strike in Philadelphia yesterday, a woman planted an American flag in front of a street car and, while a crowd shouted approval, dared a strike breaker to remove it or run a car over 1t.
 If there was ever an occasion when the flag was out of place, that was the time. It was used as an emblem of disorder and of defiance of the law. The flag stands for. equal rights for all and special privileges to none. It stands for the idea that every man shall have the right to work and earn his bread, and that he shall be safe from harm while doing it. It stands for everything which the rioters op- posed yesterday in their assaults on property and on men who had taken their places.
 It is important that there should be a correct understanding and. full ap- preciation of what the action of the strikers means. Once the State as- sents to the propositions they advance or yields to the show of force which they make, 1t Is adrift without a rud- der They might will make right In every quarrel which occurs between a corporation and a labor organization. If this Is true as between bodies of men, 1t should be the rule as between
 No man has quite as much at stake in seeing questions of this sort settled right as the laboring man. In any so- ciety where force prevails he Is the greatest sufferer; he can least afford to countenance injustice.

A MODERN WONDER.

We wonder what our grandparents would say and think If they should come back to this life and be told that one could hear a tune. a song or a d. alogue by merely sitting down in front of what to them would seem an over grown trumpet. They would be in- formed that no singers. no musical in- struments and no speakers would be required: nothing but a little contrap- ton that can easily be carried about in the hand. and that only needs an occasional winding up to enable it to sing. play or talk. just as one de- wires. We suspect that the old folks would proclaim themselves from Mis- aouri and require to be shown.
 When we come to look at the matter critically there are few among the modern inventions more wonderful than the photograph or the grapho- phone. It is a small affair. as com pared with some of the great things that are accomplished these days. hut 1t is a wonder. all the same. and to the ordinary observer the machine is absolutely inexplieable. and almost makes one think there is something uncannY about 1t. We take up two of

That is all right from his present Standpoint. but 1t does not tally with MT. Bryan's refusal. while he was Il member of Congress to abide by certain declarations of the National Democrat ic platform of 1892. His excuse for his refusal was the claim that he was com mittsd otherwise before that platform was adopted. and therefore not bound by it.

MUzzLLE HIM.

N.The proper study of mankind Is man" Pope tells us, but a modern sell enlist changes the language q little ana wravely declares that the proper food of mankind Is man. In plain words he seriously gives out the opln- ion that the most perfect diet for hu- man beings is human fiesh- This man has doubtless become weary over the high prices of all kinds of meats, and thinks human beef would be cheaper. but while 1t Is true that we have daily evidence of the cheapness of human fife. we doubt if he would find it easy to procure a supply of that kind of meat. Nor do we think 1t would be paiatable in every case. We might get q tender human steak sometimes. but we imagine that some specimens of mankind would be tough eating. and the customer who had been served with such at a restaurant would hardly call for a second helping. However. the same can be said of some of the beef that is handed out to us.
 But let one try to imagine what sort of country this would be If we should be transformed into a nation of can nibals; and that Is what we would happen if this professors suggestion should be adopted and all the people become converts to the belief that hu- man flesh is the best meat for human beings to eat. Human life is cheap enough as it is, but if such a change in diet should come about the life of man, woman or child would be worth no more than that of the game birds and animals. We move that this pro- lessor be muzzled.

the hard rubber records. for example. and examine them. To the eye there is no perceptible difference "a them. Eaoh is covered with lines. dots and dashes. and that is all. These marks convey no meaning to the eye. and signify nothing more than appears on the surface. Yet one of these records will produce song or a medley, or . piece of instrumental music. or dialogue. Sacred music and songs, vaudeville tunes and coon songs. rei!g- ious discourses or negro minstrel dia- iogues--any of them can be given out at pleasure. and each perfect In its way. The possibilities of the machine are eniy limited by the number of records used. and there Is hardly any limit to them.
 We repeat that e good graphophone is one of the wonders of the age. They have become 50 common as almost 10 have ceased to excite surprise. hut that does not detract from their won- derful qualities and possibilities They are smong the modern inventions gtv- an us by the inventors. and SO many things are being invented and discov- cred these days that any new one is taken almost as a matter of course and we feel little surprise at 1t. There has been time when if q man had ex- hibited one of these little machins he would have been burned as a witch. for the people of the old time would not have admitted that machine could talk and sing unless the Evil One were behind it or inside it.
 And yet the graphophone, or the photograph, probably first designed as sort of experiment toy. has proven a real blessing in many instances. No doubt 1t can become a nuisance, just as a great many other things can and do. but that is in the nature of things. and does not detract from the good they do. To be able to sit quietly at home and listen to good vocal or in- strumentai music. which many would have no opportunity to hear in any other way. Is often a source of gen. uine satisfaction and pleasure whic,. would otherwise be denied many who are fond of music. The fact that we cannot understand 1t makes it none the less wonderful and satisfactory.
