Trafficking in Offices.
Within the last twelve years the
state has made commendablc prog
ress in eliminating money and other
corrupting influences from our cleo
tons. We are insisting all the time
that our democracy should become
more and more democratic. There is
much talk about the opportunity and
right of every voter to express his
choice among candidates for nomina-
ton and election. This choice ought
to be the free, unbiased, Impoverished,
honest choice Of the elector or de-
mocracy is making no progress
There are more ways of purchasing
votes than with money and some Of
these are more corrupting. Nothing
can be more degrading to public life,
nothing can be more demoralizing to
the public conscience, nothing can be
more destructive of public virtue than
the conception that public Offices or
positions are something to be traded
and trafficked Infused as political
asset to enable one to gain political
preferment. The people have the
right to demand that a candidacy pro-
coed upon merit, whether it be much
or little. They have the right to in
sist that they be not tricked out OF a
high order of competent, disinterest-

Report Of Deterioration in Texas
and BuIIish Mill Takings
Brighten Shorts.

NEW YORK, July lS.-Infiuenced by
weak cables and a bearish report by
Cordil concerning conditions in South
west Texas. the cotton market opened
easy to-day. and first prices were I'M
changed to 3 points lower than Thurs
days final There was some covering
on the decline by board room traders
who went short on continued dry
weather in Texas. This class of buying
caused prices to advance l to points
from the initial level with the eXCep-
ton Of July and August, which in
creased their decline to points.
After the call however, the entire list
steadied with prices firmly maintained
at the early high point. The strength
of the market was chiefly attributed to
some private reports from Texas indi-
eating some deterioration in the crop,
also Habersham Kings review for the
week, saying the crop was favorable
over 80 per cent of the area and unfa-
vorable over 10 per cent and injurious
to the remaining 10 per cent The
circular was more bearish than bullish,
but the local shorts covered.
During the late forenoon the market
was quiet and fea tureess.
The talk around the floor to-day re-
1ected a decidedly more cheerful feeling
with reference to legislative prospects.

NEW ORLEANS, July 1s.-Liverpool
Is droopy in futures and spots, the lat
ter being quoted 3 points lower; sales
only 5000 bales.
Some scattered showers occurred over
night in the lower central States, and
the Atlantic Coast districts had some
good rains, generally fair weather pre-
vailed elsewhere, with little change in
the range of temperatures. Indications
are more favorable for some precipita-
ton in West Texas, while increasing
clOudiness and scattered showers are in
dicated for the territory east Of the
Mississippi River.
Several private reports from Texas
say that old holdings are showing up on
platforms, but that holders are not yet
selling owing to New York promises Of
high July-August squeeze prices. In re-
spect to the present anxiety in regard to
dry weather in Texas; il will be foun$
interesting to know that Government
records show that last year Texas had
practically no rain from June 29 TO Au-
gust 20, whereas this year Texas had
fine general rainfall mp TO July 5.
First trades here were al a decline Of
3 points but advces from New York of
large buying BY McFadden brokers soon
rallied the market to ll.53 for October.
There was a rumor that Fall River had
cotton ready for delivery in New York

tirmed so far.
