BATTLESHlP MAKES TRIP UP
COAST IN FIVE DAYS.
Captain Fremant Proud of the Vessel
and Talks of Visit to the South.
Silver Service on Exhibition.

PHILADELPHIA, June 10.-The
battleship Mississippi is now at the
navy yard here, after fast trip up the
coast from Pensacola, beating her
schedule by nearly a day.
Captain John c. Fremont is proud of
his ship. The exhibition he gave, as
the great vessel swung alongside the
wharf, excited the cheers of the crowds
of onlookers, who had come to well
come the crew home from the six
months cruise
The vessels stay of ten months be-
fore her southern cruise has made
the officers and men feel as though
Philadelphia was their home port. AS
executive officer c. w. Kittelle said:
I'VE are mighty glad to get back al
though we could not have been made
more welcome in any part of the world
than we were in New Orleans. Our
trip up the Mississippi river sounded
like a continuous cannonading; there
were fireworks from New Orleans to
Natchez and back, and the people
treat us almost too we'll"
The silver service presented to the
battleship by Mississippi at Horn Isl
and, her last stopping place, will be
on exhibition while she is in port, 1T

Chestnut street.
The Mississippi holds records which
the men do not hesitate to boast
about, among them being the fastest
time from Natchez to New Orleans
2S5 miles, it being the first battle
ship to navigate SO far up the Missis
sippi, in fourteen hours. The baseball
team has defeated all except the
crack New Hampshire nine. The Mis-
,issippi will enter the drydock this
afternoon in the flood tide to undergo
Ter yearly overhauling which will be
'ushed to make her ready for the At
antic squadron cruise beginning June

THE STAPLE is THE BACKBONE
OF OUR BALANCE OF
TRADE.
Exports From Sept. to This Week
100000 Bales, which Brought
$3so,ooo,ooo Averaging eIs Cents.

NEW 1OIlN, June 1V-lue wall
Street Journal says:
Cotton continues to figure as the
backbone of our balance of trade
statement With Mondays exports
the quantity shipped out since Sept.
1 slightly exceeded 100000 bales.
| The average value of the seasons eX-
ports has been about 91a cents
pound, or $47.5O a bale, making $780,
goo 600 thus far this season. Last
year. by contrast, there were only 4
| 100000 bales But the price was two
cents a pound better and the gross
returns from a million bales less than
this year was $402, 100000 That is,
100000 bales less brought the coun-
try $22 100000 more last season than
for the current one. The planter is
interested in good prices rather than
in big crops.
For forty years, until quite recently
the cotton planter had gone through
this experience of selling early and
spelling his own market. The mer-
chant and the banker loaned him
money on condition that he would
sell promptly upon picking his cotton
and close the account. They did not
seem to see that this policy forced the
price of raw cotton down and largely
reduced the purchasing power of the
producer. Hence it reduced the vol
ume of business which the merchants
and bankers could do with the cotton
grower.
Now a change has come, not sudden
ly. but steadily, and it is to be hoped
permanently. The trade had no place
in which to store cotton for keeping
for anybody who was willing to adj
vance money upon it. But much hard
work has been done by the cotton
farmers of the south in establishing
warehouses far and wide over the belt,
This appears to have been the bridge
which brought the banker and the
grower together. 1t led the Alabama
| Bankers Association to declare,
| through their committee on financing
the cotton crop in favor of advancing
| freely to farmers for holding their
cotton. This policy began last fall
and has been maintained ever since,
with the result that many have re-
allied much better prices than could
have been done had their cotton been
thrown upon the market in the fall
of last year, when the consuming
world could take comparatively little
of it.
President Harding, of the National
bank of Birmingham estimates that as
much as S12,000,000 more could be
realized from the Alabama crop alone
by this policy. The farmer is stronger
financially than formerly. He has the
facilities for warehousing a good pro-
portion of his crop, and the banks are
willing to encourage the holding OF so
much as is not needed for immediate
needs.
The result are such as to give great
er stability of income to cotton grow
ing because of the elimination OF
losses from bad marketing. they
should also help to enlarge the acre
age. because of the increased certain
tv of a more advantageous disposition
of the crop.

Later. it dawned upon the bush
whacker that this quiet, unrattled
gentleman from the short grass was
not novice in the game of legisla-
upon the habitual senators in a way
worthy of note. He had studied the
| game in a school which made perfect
graduates. He was one of the few
Republicans who depended entirely
upon their wits and rules of order to
keep a bunch 1ong-horned Populists
from turning the legislature into a
stampede. He sat beside the late Ike
childhood, and the pair spent their
waking moments in devising schemes
to get all the possible amusement out
of the show. Being in hopeless mi
nority, they knew that they could get
nothing else out of the Jackpot of
seething Populism.
AS presiding officer of the senate,
Lieutenant Governor Fitzgerald has
won the respect and admiration of
every senator in several sessions by his
absolute fairness and good judgment.
He does not pick his committees from
shuff1ed hat full of names. For
weeks before the opening of the ses-
sion he was making a study of the
senator's s-elect, and he assigned them
to the committees for which they were
fitted. Under his management, ill
feeling between factions in the senate
has vanished. Even the Democrats
are satisfied that they have been given
a square deal in every ruling of the
chair.
When Lieutenant Governor Fitz-
gerald returns to his farms and busi-
ness enterprises at Dodge City, he will
carry an addition to his fine collection
of indestructibIe, moth proof friend
ships This collection will contain the
names of the senators who are serv-
ing their first terms.
The wild fear that the legislature
will adjourn without doing any
thing is confined to the boosters of
certain bills. A lot of other people
are Iaboring under the impression that
it has been a very "succcessful'' ses-
sion of the legislature. It has kicked
Stubbs on the face, run the band
wagon over Joe Dolley, and repudiated
a number of Willum Allen Whites
"party pledges" From the viewpoint
of "some people," the session could
not have been improved upon.
Senator Lower does not pronounce
If that way, and he does not come
from the lower end of the state. Had
dam Washington county, is his home
and that is near the wire edge of
Nebraska.
This senator is one of the "come-
aeain-ers." The voters of that district
seem to recognize his value, and up to
date there Is no particular reason why
they should not keep on sending him
to the legislature just as long as he
wants to come.
During this session, Senator Lower
has been particularly active in the
bank guaranty propositions. He is
also the busy man when any school
legislation comes up for consideration.
