Hold Your Cotton. /"

At Montgomery, Alabama, few
weeks ago about thousand leading
cotton Planters, United States sena-
tors, governors, congressman, bank
ers and business men gathered Tor
the purpose OF taking measures to
hold up the price Of cotton. There
WAS abuut three days OF interesting
talk, some it pretty nifty in an
oratori,al way. When the conven-
tion adjourned it had advised farm
ers to hold their cotton for fifteen
cents. Cotton WAS than selling be-
tween ten and eleven cents. 1t is
now around eight cents. The other
dry bunch OF cotton states COVER
nors assembled IN New Orleans to
consider the question OF the price
of cotton, aud after two or three
days OF wise talk they adjourned,
having advised farmers to hold their
cotton. They also advised farmers
to cut their acreage twenty-five per
cent.
This advice TO "hold" any crop
that is selling at low prices sounds
good. 1t is sound advice. So was
the injunction of the old woman to
her daughter who wanted to go in
swimming: Hang your clothes on u
hickory limb, but don't go near the
water"
1t is all right to advise the man
who can afford it to hold, but how
about the men who can't hold?
How about the eighty or ninety per
cent who have advances" on their
crop? When the man from whom
the advances were secured demands
his money, how is the farmer to hold?
WISile the poor farmer is holding
for higher prices, who is going to
buy grub for the family?
Who is going to bny shoes for the
children?
Who is going to pay the taxes?
Who is going to pay the interest
on the mortgage?
Who is going to pay the grocer's
bill?
Who is going to settle with the
man who furnishes the dry goods
and clothing?
This talk about holding your crop
until you get what it is worth, Ills
tens good" as we say on North
Peters Street, but it is the hardest
thing in the world to put into prac-
tice.
We do not discount the advice.
lit is good advice. 1t il sound nd
vice. Nobody ever gave better coun-
sci. Every cotton farmer in all the
broad land ought to follow it. The
only trouble with this excellent ad-
vice is that it cannot be followed.
Three quarters OF the cotton farmers
in the United States have borrowed
money to raise their crop. The men
from whom they borrowed the mon-
ey borrowed it to loan. They must
have their money. The only way to
get it is to sell cotton,
The American cotton cropis worth
a thousand million dollars. Itprob-
ably cost half that sum to finance
it. The only way you can hold ef-
fectively is to secure the half billion
dollars that has been loaned on the
crop.
Advice won't do it.
What the cotton people need is q
selling organization like the rice
growers have.-Crowley Signal.

"THE MUDSILLS OF SOCIETY"

In California the labor unions are combating rising tide in fa- vor of a modification of the Chinese exclusion law. The argu- ment in favor of the proposed modification is that the system of public education has raised above ordinary manual labor the entire Caucasian population, until there are no "hewers of wood and draw CTS of water" with a consequence that many of the great producing enterprises such as fruit growing, vegetable gardening, grain grow ing, etc., are without the adequate labor necessary to plant, cultivate and harvest their crops. To fill that hiatus the proposition is that there shall be admitted ten thou sand Chinese laborers annually for a period of ten years. The proposition made, as stated, is opposed by organized labor upon the ground, we'll taken probably, that while the 100000 Mongolians proposed of admission would be laborers upon arrival, as in the ex. perience of the past it would be but short time, as years go, be- fore they would be advancing be- yond ordinary labor and crowding into other avocations, to the exclu- sion of the Caucasians therein em- ployed.
 The condition prevailing which

democrats line up nine in number with several possibilities under cover. Those announced are Colo nel H. L. Pickett and A. F. Parsons of Cochise; Mark Smith and Eugene s. Ives of Pima; Eugene Brady O'Neill and Tom Smith of Mari copa; Reese Ling, Mike Cuniff and H. F. Ashurst of Yavapai.
 Ralph Cameron and Hoval A. Smith are conceded the united republican support for the United States senate and in the primaries they will lead the poll At Wash ington they will rank high.
 For congress the democratic aspirants are Carl H. Hayden of Maricopa, and Lamar Cobb of Greenlee. Republicans mentioned are Tom K. Richey of Pima and J. $ Williams of Cochise.
 For supreme judges there are mentioned Judge A. c. Baker of Phoenix, Judge Hawkins of Yava- pal, and w. H. Sawtelle of Tucson on the democratic side.
 Among republicans Judge Flet- cher NJ. Doan, of Cochise; Judge k. W. Wells of Yavapai and Judge Kent of Phoenix.

who have been trained to the oen. teel occupations.
 Before the Civil War a congress. man from South Carolina, named Keitt, in speech in the House defending the system of slavery declared that society must have its mudsills," and he averred that it was better that those mud. sills should be of an inferior race than of the same blood as those they served In that utteranc4 there was a great deal of profound philosophy; but 1t became slogan in the battle against slavery, and all over the North men were in- famed to resentment against the speaker and his cause by flinging
  into their faces the epithet mud. sill" Yet what will organized society do without its mudsills? When all and everybody are trained above doing the severe toilsome, disagreeable and dirty duties of life land there are many such avocations) what is society going to do to get such work done? What will society do without its mndsills? None of the propagan- dists, none of the visionaries who aim to elevate all men as far as possible above the obligation of the primeval curse have ever thought of that question or if they have they have never tried to answer il. And it is and will be burning question. What will society do without its mudsills?

has caused the demand noted for modification of the Chinese exclu- sion act is very natural result of the American system of public education, the whole theory and practice of which is to raise men and women above the ordinary, toilsome avocations, and to put them in avenues of employment that are easy in way, filled with out great bodily exertion, and are genteel and cleanly. Time was when the cost and expense of it. ting youth for such occupations was so great that stenOgraphers, bookkeepers, surveyors, and the like were all paid high salaries, and they were places that gave oppor- tunity for comfortable living to those able to fill them. Bnt with the modern system of education there have been produced so many of all those classes of competent workmen that their competition with one another has reduced their pay to sums less than that paid ordinary labor. During the past two years the writer has known of transit men, fine engineers, who were glad to get $50 per month for their services, when the men who drove the teams which did the hauling for their party were paid S75 per month. Forty years ago the salary of a transitman was $150 to $l75 per month, and the driver did well if he got $50 or $60. Now the abundance of engineers is such that the value of their respective positions has made great change. Instead of being worth 200a6 more than the mule skinner the transitman is worth 33% per cent less. And that is one of the benefcent results of universal education. There Is no one left to do the drudgery of life, and those who will do it command far better remuneration than those

CANDIDATES.

As there approaches the time for calling the election of officers who will conduct for the first year the destinies of the new state of Ari- zona people are beginning to con- slider who they shall be, and those with aspirations are picking out the offices they want, making known their desires and preparing their petitions for getting upon the official ballot at the primary elec- tions.
 At the present none but aspir- ants for the most conspicuous and most important offices are in the imelight-the United States sena- tors, governor, congressman and supreme judges; but in due season there will be abundant timber for all the offices.
 For the governorship Thomas Weedin of Pinal county, and George w. P. Hunt of Gila, are actively after the democratic nomination. MT. Weedin is proprietor and editor of the Arizona Blade, a fine newspaper at Florence, and has served his county as legislator, occupying prominent place. Mr. Hunt is a merchant at Globe and has represented Gila county in one branch of the legislature or the other very regularly for about quarter of a century. He was president of the constitutional con- ventlon.
 Among the republicans the receptive candidates for the gover- norship are l. T. Stoddard, George U. Young and Robert E. Morrison, although none has announced openly his candidacy as yet.
 All three are prominent, we'll known and capable. Mr. Stod- dard was secretary of the territory, which position Mir. Young holds now; and MT. Morrison was United States attorney. Either gentleman would make first class governor.

Of Clinton is dry, having voted last
June. The election then resulted In
a dry victory Of 1885 majority. The
election in June was petitioned for BY

ty have sent 200 citizens with q petit

Substantiated facts are scarce, but

Of the influential men Of Hope are
worried-badly worried-and that

forts at secrecy, some of the facts are
out. A woman in it and the mighty
officials Of the law are taking the

not be pushed, and this one hope is

awhile several, or many, Of her citi-
