MILLIONS MADE IN
COTTON
Yesterday Was Widest Day
in Markets Since Civil
War Days.

New York, Aug. 30.-The most
sensational advance in cotton that
has been recorded since the close of
the Civil war occurred Monday on the
local exchange. Millions of dollars
were made and lost in a few seconds.
The gambling in cotton, if it may
be SO called, was devoted to what is
known as August deliveries Will
liam P. Brown, who led the aggres-
sive movement on the part of the
bulls, is said to have cleaned up
somewhere between $1,000,00O and
100000 on the days transactions.
Mr.. Brown is a clean-cut, we'll
built, courteous southerner, with
big brown moustache, ana notwith-
standing. his gyrations in the cotton
pit for a matter of three hours in
the most exciting day of the existence
of the cotton exchange, he emerged
from the ring without so much as a
wilted collar.
Shortage i'm Cotton Supply.
More August cotton had been con-
tracted for than could by any pos
sible chance be delivered. When the
market opened in the morning both
the bears and the bulls admitted the
accuracy of this statement, and forth
with came a battle royal.
1t is estimated that on every 100
bales of August cotton purchased at
the price prevailing on Saturday
there was net profit of $4,000.
The bears, driven to their wits en-
to make good their contracts, were
forced to bid what few weeks ago
would have been regarded as fabulous
prices for the southern staple.
The bulls, represented by William
P. Brown, Frank B. Hayne, Eugene
G. Scales and one or two others, who
maintain a minor position in the bull
clique, were confident of their posi-
ton, having right in the port of New
York, in docks and storage houses,
and in transit to this city, somewhere
between 100000 and $4,000 bales
of this valuable commodity.
Coming down to the last analysis,
Messrs. Hayne, Brown, Scales, ct al,
had a score to settle with the bears,
and they paid part of it. They are
going to pay the balance in Septem-
Der and October, and American con-
sumers of cotton clothes are to be
the sufferers. They have got the cot
ton and they can demand the prices.

tends TO recommend change in the law
which will extend the merit system 10
all but first class postmasterships. such

is highly desirable. If the Postottice
Department is TO be managed with
proper efficiency and economy. the small
political postmaster will have TO he
eliminated. Permanently Of tenure and
an intelligent interest in the work OF
the postal service would transform many
second and third class postotiices, ana
Representatives in Congress would be
freed from the annoying responsibility
OF distributing those offices as rewards
for PARTISAN activity. 1t is the earnest
purpose of the present administration
10 modernize the postal system and make
If pav its way. An important step IN
that direction would be the withdrawal
of all second and third class postmaS-
tershiI,s from the category of political
spoils. The more the government ser
vice is opened 10 merit and kept out OF
politics the better it will do its every
day duty to the public, in whose interest,"
it is maintained.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: l beg ID call your attention TO the
adoption by the County Clerk or a modern
filing system and current docket book in
all civil actions and special proceedings
as a good and wholesome reform.
When a summons or other original
nrocess is filed after October /, the action
will he given a number and entered on a
mage or half page Of the current docket
hook Every paper thereafter filed in the
action will bear the same number and VIII
be entered chronologically on the page OF
half page reserved for that action in the
current docket book. All papers in any ac-
ton will be filed together and nat IN the
same bundle or file, though not fastened
together, unless and until a judgment roll
or final order is entered. Under TINS syS-
tenn the current docket book gives a enron
illogical history of the case from start
TO finish and will enable the immediate
production, without search, Of any paper
in that case required for examination IL
practically substitutes one index for the
fifteen now in use in the County Clerk
office.
At present. in an old or long protracted
New York County case, it is sometimes
necessary in order to find needed paper
to search through SSNe4dl u Ii+C IALNOOAA
SEPARATE induces for each business day OF
as many years as the action may have
been pending; even then it may not be
found. for among so many separate 1ndlces
there are many misnomers and some mis-
takes and omissions. Moreover, where
papers are filed in fifty or more separate
files or bundles. as is now the case in not
a few protracted ltttgations, important
papers are sometimes mislsid, stolen,
altered or mutilated.
The County Clerk rightly inyokes the
cooperation of the bar to file their plead
ings promptly in all actions, and not merely
in equitable actions, as heretofore. The
code contains a mandatory provision re-
quiring each pleading to be filed within ten
days after the service thereof (code, Section
500 However much this section may have
been disregarded in the past in actions at
law, there is no excuse for its further dis
regard after the establishment of q modern
fat filing system and current docket book
The Bar Association Of the City of New
York, two other bar associations and Will
lam s Andrews. Commissioner Of Records,
have advocated the principle of this re-
form. HENRY A FORSTER.

REBECCA HARDING DAVIS.

It is with loyal remembraIces OF auiu
lang syne that many readers, anu
especially readers of The Tribune, piu
farewell to the admirable American
writer who has Just died, Mrs. Rebecca
Harding Davis. 1t is long since she was
constant contributor to our editorial
columns. but the memory of her Worh
therein is still fresh. She was wonlal
of character and mind, writing wlttliy
and fOrcefully with a wholesome human
purpose. The titles of some of her
books, such as "Silhouettes of American
Life" and Bits Of Gossip aptly de
note her characteristic mood. She cared
for the things about her, for the familiar
interests of daily existence, and TINS
sterling material she handled with per-
sonal, beguiling and stimulating touch
Among our native authors she ranked
as a realist, keen upon the truth, pre-
ferring the portrayal of types that she
knew to the invention of fantastic plots
and the fabrication of romantic figures.
But it was not her way to make fetlch
Of the mere fact. Just as in her persuasive
Tribune articles she enriched her obSer-
vatiOns of current topics with fancy ana
huInor. so in her fiction she was wont to
build I'D a good story from her sincere
and sympathetic studies of men anu
women and to give narrative or
hOmely events the higher literary value
of a work of art. She had a keen in
stinct for drama. fact of Importance
in her novels and perhaps having even
greater weight in her short stories. For
well pondered and yet not at all forced
simplicity. for a kind of natural pict-
uresqueness and honest power, it would
be hard to surpass brief sketch of hers
like ION the TrapeZe" Everything that
she did WAS sound and workmanlike.
The thoughts of grateful friends Will
follow her to her rest.

TO LOOK AFTER CENTRAL PARK.

To the Editor of The Tribune
Sir: At fair valuation Central Park IS
worth s1,OO0OoO,Oo0 to New York City as a
real estate holding. That amount Of prop
erty, it would seem. would call for the
same kind of management which an equal
amount would receive in any other line.
But does ii receive il? What is the con-
dition of the park to-day? To any one
who is at all conversant with the facts 1t
is in such condition that a receiver should
be appointed and the property Of the city
saved before il is too late. There is no
great revenue connected with the park, and
it is not in politics, and the result is that
the authorities and the people neglect It
and leave il to anybody who happens to
be named TO look after It. Really and tru-
". Central Park is one of the city'S most
valuable assets, and 1t is quite we'll worth
being placed in charge OF men thoroughly
competent to handle properly a billion
collar piece of real estate VIII the Mayor
please look over the situation and see what
can be done? l.. J. W.
