pensary counties, witt list of the
liquor houses which, in his opinion
are in bad standing yith the state,
and which, accordingI1 should not be
patroniZed by countydispensaries.
Governor Blease sal several days
ago, upon the issuane of his letter
and telegram to the Beveral county
boards, threatening viii removal such
of them as continued to buy from
houses that had admitted defrauding
the old state dispasary, that he
would ask Attorney Gneral Lyon to
provide him with a lit of such con-
Germs. But he has imself under
taken the complicatid of this list,
without waiting for a eport from the
Attorney General. ThT Governor has
been in frequent coBultation with
Mr.. M. H. Mobley, tn state dispen-
sary auditor, in regal to this IN
dex expurgatorius," ant hopes TO have
it ready in few day.
Governor Blease gid: q have

sary investigating COMMISSIONS against

Gus counties recently, and | find thSt

Attorney General Wickersham, be-
fore the Minnesota Bar association, in
Duluth. took an advanced stand on the
further Federal regulations of corpo-
rations and declared a government
commission to regulate great indus
trial organizations in the same way
that the interstate comerce commits

most desirable. Mr.. Wickersham's
speech was little short of being sensa-
tional in many of its features.
The Civil war is receiving almost
as mt n attention in the senate these
days as though it were present live
political issue. The senate again
turned it's attention to that historic
struggle and afforded Mr.. Hepburn
another opportunity to vent his spleen
on the South, its heroes and its men,
ories. The latter varied his usual
speech by roundly abusing the news
papers of the country. The discus
sion was precipitated by bill of
Senator Williams Of Mississippi to
appropriate $4,000 from the Federal
treasury toward the erection of a
monument costing s125,00O to the
men constituting the naval forces of
the Confederacy, who fought on the
Mississippi river.

Revolutionists at Gonaives, the Revo-
lutionists already practically are vic
torious and all of the towns of import

For the first time in the history OF
the New Orleans cotton exchange, the
last few days of trading have shown a
big cleanup on the bear side Of the
market. Estimates of the profits vary,
but more than one prominent trader
says at least s2,5OO,000 was taken in,
very largely from bulls trading in the
New York exchange. The weekly
statement of the New Orleans clearing
house shows an increase in business
OF $66s.000.

11red so prominently in the market
reports of the last two years as hav-
ing taken fortunes out Of cotton, had
largely thrown over their holdings.
Various estimates were ventured as
to the probable losses of the bulls
and their friends, all of which ran
ND into the millions. In spite Of a
feeling that rallies were to be expect
ed after such drastic liquidation as
that of several days past, local senti-
ment still seemed of very bearish
average after the close of business
here, and there was talk in some quar-
ters of IL and even 10 cents cotton.
