New York. Feb. 19.--There was q
very severe break in the cotton mar
kct today as a result Of very much
such panicky liquidation as that
which marked the decline OF last
month Selling began in Liverpool
before the opening Of American mar
kets and continued here throughout
the entire morning, with prices rally
ing only 10 or 12 points III the late
trading as 4 result OF covering Tor
over the holidays. The market closed
steady IN tone. but at net loss OF
18Gp25 points. The opening was weak
at decline Of 10T35 points in re-
sponsc TO the unexpected and sensa-
tionaI break in the English market
Private cables were unanimous in at
tributing the decline there to heavy
American selling. and one Of the ca
oies estimated 1t at fully $4,000
bales The opening decline here was
sufficient to catch Stop-loSs orders,
and while there was rally of 10 or
t2 points toward the end OF the first
hour. a renewal Of heavy selling b,
leading interests sent prices to the
lowest level Of the day late in the
forenoon when May contracts sold at

points net lower on the active
months New crop positions broke
from g to 90 points from last nights
finals. but attracted conspicuously lit
tie attention, as the excitement was
ali centered in old crop deliveries
and the evident liquidation of large
long lines which were believed to
have been partly carried over the
break Of last January and partly ac
cumu1ated since the time when May
sold at 1880 IN New York last month.
The big houses with Southern and
Western connections were among the
most important sellers, while the de-
nand came partly from spot houses.
but was believed to be chiefly in the
way OF covering. There was moth
ing in the mornings news from SPOT

the decline and the various rumors
circulating one OF political difficulties

BETTER THAN
FIRE TUG

Fire Chief McAlevy got back
from Stockton, Cal, yesterday af-
ter attending the fire chiefs con-
vention. He was at San Fran
cisco and saw the fireboats and
looked mot a new scheme being
Invented by Chief Murphy there to
extinguish fires in boats with gas
instead of water. If this is a sue
cess a fireboat will not be needed
for putting out fires ON boats and
there is considerable sentiment in
favor of large mains on land TO
protect the waterfront mills.
McAlevy's expenses were paid

The new civil service board of
Tacoma met again yesterday and

limit. Under the present condi-
lions there will be practically
nothing for the board to do and
the commission is of the opinion
that the civil service business will
be a farce.

CHICAGO, Sept. 20.-A new
scheme of preventing publication
of large dividends by railroads
was brought to light yesterday in
the hearing of the interstate COM
merce commission on the general
proposition of advancing freight
rates.
Controller Baluvent of the Him
ois Central was on the stand and
he admitted that while the road
had 2,S75 miles of line in 1891
with $40, 000,0 900 capital that now
1t has only 1,700 miles more but
the capital stock is sos, 900, 900.
1t was also shown by his testimony
that the company had "sold" to
the stockholders a large part of
the additional stock at par, when
on the market it was selling for
an average of $50. his form of
giving old stockholders stock
worth $50 at 100 put practically
33 per cent dividend in the
pockets of the stockholders, while
nothing appears on the records to
indicate any such transaction.

CHECKS ARE SIGNED

Belvidere, S. D.-The Sioux In
dians on the Pine Ridge reservation
near here recently were paid many
thousands of dollars by the United
States government. They were paid
in checks and many of them
came to Belvidere to have the checks
cashed and purchase necessary and
unnecessary articles. Some of the In
dians who cashed checks here had
unique names, among them being the
following: John Wins the Battle,
John Owns the Battle, Hail Woman
Little Sack, William Black Bull.
Leads the Horse, Railing Woman,
Peeping Out, Good Dog, Maggie
White Horse, Ugly White Horse Near
'ly Dead Short Man, Search the En-
envy, Blue Haired Horse and Anna
Good Thunder. The Indians of
course could not sign their names on
the back of checks. but Endorsed them
by putting their thumbs on a stamp
pad and then pressing their thumbs
on the back Of the checks. 1t was ne
cessary under the requirements for
this sort of an Endorsement OF the
checks to be witnessed by two per-
sons. who certified in writing on the
backs Of the checks to the thumb
marks Of the Indians.

Two years ago, almost to the day,
Ringing Brothers were in Mitchell
with their circus and at that time
Mrs. Robert Clark, living at Letcher,
attended the evening performance
and received injuries that caused her

Mrs. Clark was represented by w.
M. Herbert, who drew the complaint
and had the summons served on the
circus magnates at the time of their
presence in the city.
The complaint states that Mrs.
Clark attended the evening perform
ance and that while she was seated
on the third row from the top of the
tent an employe drew one of the
boards from beneath and she fell to
the ground, a distance Of nine feet.
Resulting from the fall Mrs. Clark
sustained injuries in her side, her
back and hips, and was thereby
bruised. shocked, famed and injur-
ed. Mrs. Clark stated that at the
time Of the accident she was in a
delicate condition, and the fall caus-
ed her much suffering in the way of
bodily pain, mental anguish and that
she vas made nervous and her gen.

CRITICISM VS.. CORRECTION.

Senator Bristow Of Kansas. than
whom there is no more radical Gin
,surgent' in the Senate, with the pos
sible exception of La Toilette, de-
livered In a Chautauqua assembly
Saturday his first address since he
with other Kansans met Roosevelt at
Oyster Bay. It was anything but an
apology for his course. He asserted
that the fight in which Insurgency
had enlisted, was only begun not
withstanding the power of Cannon
has been broken in the. House.
Bristow was remiss, perhaps, in
not specifying just exactly what are to
be the steps in the contest which he
properly defined as between the aver
age man and special privilege. 1t is
patent to all that there is certain to
be a clash between the rights. of those
who want to make big earnings and
the rights of those who would save
what they have. 1t is in the final
analysis the question of defining
property. And, in the constant in
terchange Of property, through the
medium of money, between men Of
all degrees of shrewdnes and moral
lity, that is a very difficult thing to do.
Diagnosticians are invaluable. lest
the patient die from ignorance of his
troubles. But there must be more
than diagnosis. We can all under
stand that wealth has a big advant-
age in a free country, especially when
1T is concentrated in the hands CT
skilled business men who understand
the advantage of combination. But
how to prevent wealth from taking
more than its proper share is the
question that must be answered by
congress. We might have eve so elo-
duent orations in legislative halls,
year after year, upon the subject of
greed's encroachments, and yet Oh.
tain no relief whatsoever.
To this extent there should be sym
pathy with President Taft. 1t is the
business of the president of this re-
public to be a constructionist. In fact
he cannot avoid it. 1t is his duty
! under the constitution to make rec
concentrations to congress-. 1t is for
him, then, to take the initiative in
outlining curative legislation. If he
has disappointed in his performance
of this task, it is open to question
whether others should criticise un-
less they can offer something better.
We do not mean to say that the
insurgents" have not been rife with
suggestions Of legislation. Their cures
of the evils they see have been num-
erous indeed. But they have not
had the responsibility Of the presi-
dent nor have they had. perhaps, a
view Of the side that is urged most
UNFORTUNATELY upon the president.
Any sincere public servant must be
of use. Not all Of them ian be gen.
fuses in prophecy or unerring judges
of the proper solution Of the prob
lem of drawing the line between con-
f1icing rights. The legislation passed

will concede the genuineness of his
repentance or whether it will take
into consideration the extremity of a
ran denied his livelihood, remains
to be seen. 1t is supposed that the
judiciary is above resentment.
