Poor Middies and Cadets.
From the Boston Transcript.

From the Boston Transcript.
Probably those congressman who yes.
terday said SO glibly that no poor boy
can enter West Point or Annapolis would
be hard put to it if called upon to sustain
their charge with specifications. The ma
jority of the West Point cadets and the
majority of midshipmen come from
homes that are not those OF the rich
The membership of both academies is
essentially democratic. The sons of the
poor, the rich and the simply prudent
meet on equal terms. AS for the allie
cation that it is necessary to admission
for an applicant at West Point or An
napolis to have passed through one OF
the army or navy privately managed
prep schools. that is disposed of by the
presence in both academies OF lads fresh
from public high schools. Lists could
be compiled Of New England cadets and
midshipmcn and recent graduates who
found their high school training adequate
for passing the examining boards OF the
military and naval academies. II this is
not the case in the west and south. then
the west and south should brace up their
high schools.

Praise for the Scouts.
From the Chicago Tribune

The little fellows in khaki whom you
see occasionally on the roads or in the
parks with pike STATS, knapsacks and a
trumpet are revealing an organization
of which they may be proud. To keep a
letter from the President moving across
country to Chicago from one eager hand
to another in unbroken relays. to have
each station manned and the fresh rum
ners starting constantly along the road
way with the sack containing the seal
and signature. demonstrate efficiency.

DAILY COTTON LETTER

NEW ORLEANS, Feb. l1.-Liverpool
today was disappointing and showed flu
tures at the opening Of our market about
points lower than due; spots points
higher; sales 10000 bales. There We're no
cables 10 explain the easier tone Some
connected it with late reports yesterday
from New York Of Pell interests selling.
Others attributed it to political news. as
consols are 1-16c lower. Other profes-
sional news is that the Wall Street crowd
covered about $4,000 shorts The map
shows fair weather in Florida and cloudy
elsewhere. General precipitation over
night: heavy in the central portion.
our market lost about I points in the
early trading. but selling is so made
quate that the smallest demand affects
the depression. The ability Of the market
to hold is marvellous considering that
there has rarely ever been in one season
so many disturbing and threatening fac
torS-war in Europe, continued upheaVal
in Central America, labor unrest threat
ened in England, strikes in the North,
cabinet crisis in Japan, etc.
The combination of exclusive control
of spot interests in New York and Of
the spot situation by independent holders
in the South is the best explanation.
The market ran up to 1857 for May near
the close in Liverpool A little eaSiness
followed on a report that James Patten
had pleaded guilty in the cotton cor
uer trial and had paid fine of $4 900.
Mitchell, McFadden, Waters and the
Waldorf crowd are mentioned as bidding
the market up. Spot reports from the
interior all good, but show that business
is based on futures.

er tomorrow night
It is reported that james A. Patten
pleaded guilty in the cotton corner case.

small demand.
1t is reported that Havre freight was
reduced 3 points this morning
The export statement shows 100000
bales of cotton less for the first few days
Of the week than last year.
The New Orleans Times Democrat says:
"a slowly advancing cotton market at
this particular time is playing havoc with

cent of the talent and. as result many
half hearted low-price men have begun to
see a great light. Dyed in the wool
bears, however. still talk of &c decline
some time int he near future, and refuse
to find in the drift Sof the market any
fundamental cause of strength. The fact
that big spot people are supposed to own
both the stock and the controlling long
interest at New York IN conjunction with
the refusal Of the New York revision COM
mittee to reduce the discounts on the low
grades there. is regarded as a significant
POINTER 10y the bull faction. and as d fur
ther evidence Of manipulation by conSI-
tiltiOnal bears. In the last analysis, the
actual stuff in spite of slack export de
mand. exhibits persistent strength in the
face of strenuous vocal effort 10 pull the

Of consequence are out Of the question ahd
that the market will work higher grad
