Cotton Jumps 81 Per Bale.

When the estimate of the United
States Department Of Agriculture
on the 1901-l911 cotton crop was
read last Friday afternoon on the
floor of the New Orleans Cotton
Exchange the widest scenes tl'at
have been enacted on the floor in
several years took place. Ihe
visitors gallery was crowded with
women, surging around the PIT
were the bulls and bears OF the
exchange itself, and in that part
Of the floor where visitors are
allowed we're prominent cotton men
from all parts Of the South, includ.
ing some Of the prominent spinners'
The governments estimate is
11,426,OOo bales, which is decidedly
lower than the most sangulne ex'
recitation of bull leaders. Con
|sequently the trading directly after
the announcement was frantic
Futures advanced and refrigerated
but in round numbers futures clos

INSURGENCY.

Last week the editor or thls
paper attended the extra session
Of the Legislature at Baton Rouge
during the election of the United
States Senator and was present az
the "gab festn which preceded the
balloting.
We left home thinking that
there was something to the move
ment called insurgency and looked
for an arraignment of the regular
democratic leaders that would
make them ''sit up and listen"
Our idea was that their following
was a formidable factor and that
a fair percentage of the democratic
voters were in the revolt.
We found nothing like this to
be the case. A train load OF
Broussard's constituents had been
hauled from the sugar belt TO boost
s.Cousin Bob'' for Senator. A few
Of the new set Of democrats OF the
G. Harrison Parker type had fore
gathered to see the fight, but the
regulars calmly ignored them and
went placidly on with the business
for which they had come together
An analysis of the situation has
convinced Us that the insurgents
are ambitious politicians who ar
seeking q place and that the PEG
pie who constitute the rank ant
file Of the democratic party ar
very largely In the majority ant
are satisfied with the state 0
affairs.
The bulk of the people are no
in favor Of the insurgent move
ment.

Memorial to Senator Winery.

The following has been issued
by Charles a Farwell and is self
explanatory: :,
During the past week a few OF
the friends of the late Senator
Samuel Douglas McEnery met to
consider how properly to honor the
memory Of that most worthy son
of Louisiana.
T was made chairman OF TINS
meeting and charged with the duty
of appealing to the people of the
State for funds wherewith to pur
chase a lot in the Metairie Genet
erv and to erect over his remains
a stone inscribed with a suitable
record of his services: it being felt
that the most unselfish way to ac-
complish this purpose was oy
popular subscription.
This is written and published to
prepare our people, so that both
those who are moved by a sense OF
duty and those who esteem 1t
privilege may quickly respond
Make drafts and checks payable
to my order.

THE HAZARD OF
 CHILDHOOD
(Hartford Courant)


 Bridgeport people had their sympa- thies stirred last week by the disap- pearance of two youngsters who ran out in the trail of fire apparatus and who then disappeared from view until, nearly a week later, their bodies were found in the river and the fears of their half-crazed relatives were req lized. It Is not so long ago since two children in South Windsor were suffocated in a grain bin, and less than a score of years since three were starved in a side-tracked car in this city; those who saw the bodies be- fore they were removed from the car as they remember anything. Yet like, or lesser, accidents occur about the country every day. Four-year-olds toddle out of the front yard for a mo- ment and fall under the wheels of a passing automobile truck, or some other moving vehicle which crushes the life out of them, while others fall into ponds or swallow drugs or poisons in the house. And the pity of it is that there seems no way of preventing this occasional slaughter of the innocents. Any man or woman who has tried to keep track of a healthy child between the ages of and 10 realizes the inn possibility of safeguarding one for an entire day without running the risk of nervous prostration; it is impossible for an adult to forecast the impulses of a child, Or to argue that because it is safe now that it will not be in danger in five minutes hence .- As civiliza ton progresses the danger in creases, for almost every modern comfort brings a hazard with it. There is apparently nothing to do, but to use reasonable degree, of caution and to leave the rest to fate, with the uncomfortable feeling that an ac- cident may happen.

FASHIONS AND PADS
ing remains in favor.

Braiding remains in favor.
 Side jabots still hold their own.
 Everything favors the vogue of faces Full twisted in with the hair is most attractivge.
 One sees black velvet StreamerS tied under the chin.
 Many of the new frills are made of colored embroidery.
 In millinery as in dresses, vivid col bring is the rage.
 The usual madras and summer che viots are seen in tailored waists.
 Neck ruching of two contrasting colors of maline is one of the novel; ties.
 Suede gloves are worn for deep mourning, then glace gloves for the lighter.
 The handles of the tailored para- sols. are unique in effect and very ori- ginal.
 An airy fashion is the use of tuIIe as a trimming for hats or in the hair. Large round or square Chantilly veils will be used with the big hats or toQues.
 The ribbons having the gold em- bossed effects are popular for mak- ing opera bags.
 Frill collars vary in width from two Or three to four or even five inches in width.
 Not for many years has Chantilly lace had such success, it is dyed in every shade.
 Very handsome are the cloth of steel slippers. The ornament is a tiny steel lace bow.
 Every thing points to active demand for linen and pique collars, both em- broidercd and plain.
 White pique seems to be the stand ard fabric for babies coats ranging from one to three years
 Plain-colored taffeta parasols are finished with a wide border of sat- in or a "tape" of the taffeta.
 A striking travelling coat seen re- gently is of blue serge, with the col lar, revers and pockets of chantecler. Some of the checked habutal silks are unusually attractive They are to be had in wide range of coIors.

Census Director Durand says there is very little if any prospect that there will be a recount of the census of Hartford Such a recount never has been made and probably never will be made" A single district might be recounted because the enumerator who covered that territory was sick, intoxicated or careless. but cities are not allowed to pay for recounts. "If, '' he says. Hartford does not like the government census paid for by the government the city can take censuses of it's own if 1t wishes to-"
 This is very explicit. and it applies to Bridgeport as we'll as Hartford. Cities may take censuses. but the re- suits will evidently not appear in the Federal census report. Enumerations of school children and directory esti- mates cut no figure with the Federal census officials. They take account only of the reports of their enumera- tors and accept them as accurate un- less in come particular district the 'enumsrator was "sick. intoxicated or careless." 1t is probably the last named disqualification. from which most of the trouble comes. For in stance. ono entire block in Hartford was skipped; that must have been caused by amadulterated carelessness
 The fact remains that the census of ficials seem strongly disinclined to make recounts. decidedly indifferent to complaints, and rather cavalier in wording their decisions
The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1910-05-25

From a statement made by Senator Depew in favor of a strong navy. 1t appears that the influence of Queen Victoria prevented war between Great Britain and this country as one result of the Venezuelan episode of the second Cleveland administration. He reported that Lord Salisbury. the Brit ish Prime Minister then said:
 I believe that on account of the rancor coming down from the revolu- tfonary war and accentuated by certain occurrences in the Civil War. America means to havesa war with Great Brit ain at some time, and I believe now is the best time. when America has no navy.
 But he was overruled by the Queen. As has long been known. Lord Sails bury was never a well-wisher of this country; he was Anti-American in every way.
 We doubt very much whether any rancor against Great Britain from either the revo3utiohary or the Civil War, exists in this country fin any ma terial degree. The American people have forgiving teanperaments combined with short memories. In our judg- ment. 1t would require very strong provocation to carry this country into war with the only other English speaking people and perhaps the only people from whom we might reason ably expect aid and comfort in the event of becoming involved in war with other European nations or with Asiatic powers.
