GOV. WILSON'S WARNING.

Governor Wilson's threat OF a
gibbet for those who undertake
the promotion of panic for the
purpose Of hampering his admin
istration is, as he explains, not to
be taken literally. What he
means is that the offenders will
be morally gibbeted by public
opinion, but, as matter OF fact,
never yet has there been a panic
which did not cause execration
of those responsible for its origin.
Governor Wilson's warning,
however, is timely because the
present aspect of affairs in Wall
street is not such as to produce
confidence in the future, and con-
ditions are now shaping them
selves so as to make it a compar-
atively easy matter for a few
powerful manipulators OF the
market to start a stampede with
all its evil consequences.
But it is made evident from the
utterances of the President-elect
that. in the event of mischievous
work in Wall street, he will use
all the powers at his command
to reveal the names Of the men
responsible for the mischief ami
have them held accountable be-
fore the law. There is reason to
believe that this prospect will
do much to discourage the ac-
tivity of the group of multi-mil-
lionaires who are, as a rule, at
the bottom of the panic-breeding
deviltry.
At any rate, the leading news
papers are heartily commencing
President-elect Wilson for clear
ly and forcibly declaring what
he win do If a panic is started
merely to prevent the new admin.
istration from carrying out poll
cies that may interfere with the
plans Of a certain class of fl
nanciers, and the consensus OF
opinion is that his attitude will
stall off any attempt TO bring
about such a calamity Ito the
country. "If so, says the Pitts
burg Chronicle Telegraph, "then
the new administration will have
earned large measure Of credit
and credit that win not be
grudged to it by any element,
be the color of its political opin.
ions what it may. States.

HAVE THE MOST PROGREs.
SIVE PARISH IN YOUR
STATE.

II want to make mine the mos5
progressive parish in the State. {"
That is what we want to hear
the farmers saying in a thousand
parishes in the South One rea-
son the towns are growing faster
than the country districts, one
reason the abler men in the towns
make more money than the ADLER
nen in the country, one reason
why so many people think life in
the city more attractive than life
Ill the country, is that in the
town there is public spirit, en-
thusiastic cooperation, a determ-
nation to pull together to make
the community the best of its
kind. This enthusiasm puts ev-
cry man on his mettle, inspires
every man to do his best, gives an
electric sort Of thrill to the
whole atmosphere, and makes all
work more inspiring. The cham
bers of commerce., boards of
trade, the industrial clubs, the
young mems clubs, the civic
leagues, and other such institu-
tions explain in a large measure
the growth that our cities are
making. These organizations
boost their towns. They search
for and find opportunities for
making their communities better
or more prosperous. They go
after new enterprises. They in
vi.e new settlers, and give the
glad hand tn every new incOmer.
II the country is ever to make
anything like the progress the
towns are making, we must de-
velop something of the same CO.
operative spirit of the progress
in them. We must have every
man in every parish saying, 81
want to help make my county
the most progressive parish in the
State" And we must not only
have individuals talking this way,
bue we must have them organized
Jand pulling together to bring
about this exact result. Every
Farmers Union must become a
sort Of neighborhood improve
ment league. The women must
organize school betterment clubs.
i Debating societies must be or
t, ganized to discuss proposed plans
Of progress and improvement.
Our church meetings we must
make places not to find out what
bad somebody else has done, but
what good we ourselves can do.
! Neighborhood improvement clubs
Or without them, in season and out

lively, there should be discus
sion Of all ways and means of

ADMIRAL DEWEY Is rs
YEARS OLD.

Washington, Dec. 25.--Admiral
George Dewey, the most famous
living American naval officer,
will be IS years old tomorrow.
His birthday party and his re-
ception to host Of friends here
will find him as strong and hearty
as he has been for the last decade.
Tomorrow afternoon, the Gus
tom since Admiral Dewey has
been stationed in Washington,
his friends and many of his off
cial associates will call at his
home on X street to extend their
congratulations to Admiral and
Mrs. Dewey. An informal recep.
ton ia contemplated for the even-
ing, but its nature is to be q sur
prise for the veteran sea fighter.
Admiral Dewey believes that It
has been his sober mode of living
that has been responsible for his
extreme good health, and seldom
does the admiral Of the navy fall
to arrive at his Office every day
promptly on time.
Admiral Dewey was born in
Montpelier VT He graduated
from the Naval Academy in 1858,
and has since several times dis
tinguished himself in the service
Of the United States. Before
his success in the battle Of Ma
Mia Bay he had already won
fame. He first commanded the
steam frigate Wabash in the Med
iterranean, and was later In
command Of the Mississippi un-
der Admiral Farrsgut when he
took possession Of New Orleans.

From Harper's Weekly.

From Harper's Weekly.
A professor in a private school in Spain
has invented an instrument to facilitate
instruction in writing The apparatus Is
designed to educate the hand to move in
accordance with the will.
First of all, metallic sheets !are cut in
such manner as to afford graphic designs
most difficult for the unframed muscles:
angles. loops, straight lines. crooked Ines
vertical and horizontal lines. etc. The
sheets. when used by the child. must be
so arranged that they may easily be
brought together or separated, as desired.
and this is necessary also In order to
make the lesson difficult or easy. as de-
sired by the instructor. These sheets, con-
sequently. are fastened down with screws
so peculiarly made that a certain pressure
may cause them to give a bit to one side
or the other.
Under the desk Is an electric bell con-
nected with the sheets above by copper
wire. Below these and entirely isolated
is another system of sheets. &
The child is brought before the .instru-
ment and told to place his paper between
the free spaces of the sheets, mark his
outline and then punch key. This con-
tact will open the electric current and
make the bell ring. II the pressure he
exerts does not make the metallic outline
precisely cover the one on his penciled
paper the bell below rings. giving i'm
mediate notice of his error. The child en-
joys the game and Is stimulated to
make his loop or curve exactly match
that. of the metallic sheet.

COTTON MARKETS.
NEW YORK.

NEW YORK. March 9.-There was
heavy realizing for over the week end in
the cotton market today, while prospects
Tor more favorable weather in the south
and less cheerful reports as TO the out
look for any immediate settlement OF
the English labor troubles inspired some
local pressure. and prices closed barely
steady at a net decline OF from 10 10 III
points.
The market opened steady at a decline
OF 2a1 points in response to disappoin:-
ing cables and a better view of weafhe
conditions In the south. Leading traders
appeared 20 he giving prices sun
port on the decline. but while selling w0S
more or less scattered offerings in the
aggregate were heavy and the mari q;
gradually worked lower. closing at prac-
tically the lowest point of the day. tn
selling seemed to be chiefly in the way o
realizing on recent purchases throuGl
commission houses, together with mooe~-
ate foreign offerings and some pressure
from local bears, and while the easier
tone of the market was no doubt parity
due TO rather lower cables than expected
and private reports that the labor out
look continued unfavorable. the main
factor was generally said to be the ex-
pectation of better weather in the belt
The weather map showed light precipi-
tation during the past twenty-four hours,
but the ofticis' forecast was for clear
weather over Sunday, and while lower
temperatures were indicated, local
weather experts were predicting warmer
weather by the first part of the week.
Reviews of the dry goods trade read
rather bullishly. indicating increased con-
fidence on the part of buyers and rather
more disposition to anticipate future
needs. an6 there was nothing In the days
news to indicate any change in the steady
ruling of the southern spot markets.
