One frrs' advantage which Mr Bryan's | letter of •('cepiaiit e has over Mr M Klii* | ley’s, i* tha: It i a great deal shoriar ! (ran the latter's waa.

Ha could scared) *fcl anything to what he mukl In that tpce h on the paramount issue, imperial.sin. and on mii- Murlsm lie coveted those subjects so admirably that ho mould have made a mistake if he hail attempted to tfMetiis them further In his letter. In his letter tie gives attention chiefly to trusts arsi the ftn.tii lai qm -non. What ie says about trusts he put- In new and attractive way. The t*u> he de lama, confine# toe producer of raw material to Ofis purclMiser and compel# the producer to a cept the price which the trust offer* Ttmt is xa- tly tha fix in which the to bacco growers find themro Ives at thU time. if there w* re > omietit!on they would ie aide to g*-i letter price for their tobacco. Mr. Bryan also poin t out that the trust omy one em ployer for labor. nnl therefore the laiior *r must accept the wnges fix*l by the trust. The trus; means that the consumer must pay the price for the trust's prod ucts which the trust Iteelf Axes. In other words the trust i* actually owns the country and the people Mr. Bryan does not confine himself to pointing out the evils of tru*d lie ays tliat. If elected, he will appoint an attor ney general who will enforc** the existing laws again trusts, md h** promt### to re omtmnd legislation that will crush trusts without Interfering with the rights of rhe Kate*. That he rerun* what he says, and will do what he Mays he will. If given the opportunity, then isn't a eha* dow of a doubt.

He toints out that he has hern consistent In regard to silver, but that the Republicans Itaive been shifting from one p sit lon to another, and cirty recently have taken a stand In behalf of the gold standard. The letter Is a carefully considered doc ument uml will make a fine Impression I> aling with tn#ny subjects It could baldly tv made as Interesting as Ills nott- AcatlJii #|> ech, which bad a toiling effect on the entire country, but It will answer admit.il ly the for wh ch il Is Intended. A SHOUT CUTTY) X C HOP. It seems to be agreed that the cocton crop will boa shori one. It |* impossible of course, to say with any degreo of certainty. S><*w short it will be. A few weeks ago It was thought It would reach 10.(Mi.ten hales. Within the last few days eHtlmntes have been published Indicating a crop of leas than H.OUO.OQO bales. If frost should come late, and the picking should be thorough, it I* probable that the crop would reach 9.260,000 bales. Tfie spinners snd the speculators under stand the situation very well. The spec ulators do not care, of course, what the price Is. bul spinner* are Interested In getting rottnn at as low a price as iwmsi ble. Many mills In this country and Eu ro;** have closed flown because shore Is no profit In manufacturing at the pre vailing prices of cotton and cotton goods Spinner* hope probably to force down the price of cotton a little, but their main object I* so force up prices of cotton goods. They know that a short cotton crop mean* a high price for cotton, and they have very little hope of seeing the price lower than It t*. They know the chances uro that is will Ix< higher. The crop lust year was n little below 9.600.000 bales. Although It was a short crop. It brought over i50.000.000 more than the crop of the previous year. But all of the Increase did not go Into she pockets of the cotton growers, as has been erro neously stated Much of rhe cotton wsi marketed u( prices ranging between 4!v and 7Vi cents a pound. Thin year, however, the entSon growers will get the full benefit of the high price, because the price was high at the very beginning of the season, and the outlook Is that It will remain high until the open big of anosher season. And if the crop should not lie more than *.000.000 hales, It would bring, n Is safe to say, fully at much. If not more than that of last year brought. The higher price will fuliy tnako up for the deficiency in the number of bales. A II 11)11 KEtCHIMG STRIKE. If the coal miners strike should be long- MS!!RBf4 many factories would be crip, pled, and even the railroads using hard coal might have trouble As eoon a* the strike wa* ordered the price of coal was advanced about $1 |>ct ton,and the chance* are that It will go much higher, though It was above the average when the strike occurred. It la estimated that the supply on hand I* not more than sufficient for a few weeks. It may come to pass that fac tories using hard coal will have to abut down In the very near future. It Is tepnrted that train men on some of the Eastern roads have been holding meetings recently, and are In sympathy with Ihe str.kers. That being the case tlsev may refuse to use any other fhan bard coal on thdi trains In Ihe event of such a refusal there may be a great rail road strike In addition to th* strike at ihe anthracite coal mine*. This be ng a presidential election year no doubt the strike will assume greater Importance than It would If It occurred when It could not be made to play a part In politics Them I* no doubt (hat the miners, through tlulr friends, have made effort* to have their difference* with their em ployer* arbitrated. That tx tng the case It would *e<m a* If they felt sure that Jus tice wa* on their side.

There are numerous rumor# of the plague afloat A* cording to the Europe aiapatrh##. a M.traHlies p#p*>r published a statement last week to tbs effect that there were no less than twenty rg#e*jef the p ague in the #eaport of France lal summer, bu: that the mutter waa kept quiet by order of the government for fear visitors would be prevented from coming to the exposition The same paper raises the question whether the Madagae* ar colony at the exposition la not Infected with the disease. One of the pbysl' ivns of the Pasteur Institute, in Paris. Is quoted a* saying that he expects the plague will make its appearance next cummer In all European countries ami in North ami Bouth Amer ica. 11 would be Interesting to know on what ground he bases this expectation If he has no good ground he ought to b drummed out of the medical profession for unnecessarily alarming people. It must in* assumed, however, that he h# a sat isfactory reason. But, as alarming as tha plague It. It does not appear lo have created anything like a panic in GUtegow. There hYYe been quite a number of ascs in that city, but the p ople have attended to business Just as if the plague were a thousand miles dis tant And a# • matter of fact, the dis ease Is not to be feared so imirh as it on* • was It is now known that It !• a fl:h disease, and that the germ of it Is easily killed by sunlight and pure air— that. In fact. It yields quit# readily to sanitation and diMnfrctanis. There is no good reHHon. therefore, why there should be wide-spread alarm on account of the statement of tho Pasteur Institute doc tor, th.it the plague would likely visit European countries and this country next summer. In the first place, the dl.-ea*# will not likely make Its appearance on this side of the Atlantic, and. in the sec ond place. If It does, there Is every reawm to t*lteve that the healtn authorities will be able to stamp it out before It does inu- h harm THE Mil VTH>> ' nil"* Outside of their cabinets there is noth ing known definitely respecting the plans of the Power* In respect to China, and It p. H question whether the Powers know much about each other's purposes. Very little Is being done apparently to reach an agreement as to the course to be pur sued In dealing with China, bit h seems to he wee it lug for the other to make a proposition. One thing that seem- certain la that In this country and England there U a growing suspicion of llusela and Ger many. Russia has announce*! her pur pose to keep troops In Pekin during the winter, oriel It I* asserted that she ts Bend ing a targe army Into Manchuria. Oer n any la still sending troops to Pekin, al though She has a large Juree there now. Whiles there Is no statement theit there Is an understanding between Russia and Germany they eeem to be In complete harmony. There la therefore a growing feeling, par ticularly In England. that tt ts the pur pose of these two Powers to tnslsa upon territory from China In settlement of their claims. Only a little while ago Ruiwla proposed to withdraw from Pekin, and this coun try. supposing she was acting tn good faith, agreed to the proiosltton. There Is very little talk of withdrawing now It begins to look as If our army would remain tn Pekin, or near that city throughout the winter. It would not lie surprising It there should be a rupture of the friendly relations of the Powers. If there should he. Germany anti Russia would be found no doubt act ing In harmony. France, having an alli ance with Russia, would, of course, take sides with them England would atand alone, practically, since It Is probable that Jupan would be placated with prom ises m regard to Corea, and It Is doubt ful If this country wnukl permit Itself to he drawn Into entanglements with Eu ropean Powers over China. It la certain tl<at public opinion in this country Is against such an entanglement. England's tntcreata In China are greater than those of any other Power. Russia. Germany and France would like to see those interests reduced to a minimum. England seems to realise that there ie danger of serious complications In China, and she Is preparing to withdraw a part of her force from South Africa. If she were certain that this country would support her In any reasonable demand, she might make, she would undoubtedly lake a very hold stand. But, not being aura of the course this country would pursue In case of trouble, she may be willing to make concessions. She ts sgelnat anv division of the Chines* Em pire. That also Is the position of the I'nlted mates, but would they be willing to use force to sustain that position? It Is doubtful If they would. The Situation ts far from being satis factory. Assuming that Russia and Ger many are not sincere tn the statement* they arn making about having no design* on Chinese territory, or that nussta alone ts no* sincere. It I* apparent that It will require the nicest kind of diplomacy to prevent trouble between the Powers.

The company has diligently searched for defects In Its cir cuits. but hs yet has not been able 10 dis cover any cause for this curious phenom enon. The London Electrician suggests the following Ingenious explanation: "It is well known that carbon acting as a coherer in a wireless telegraph appara tus, undergoes the usual sudden decrease in resistance when subjected to electric radiation. It U possible that the carbon filament of a glowing lamp may undergo M similar change when exposed to ihe In fluence of a tropical thunderstorm.’’ —ln Albuquerque. Now Mexico, which has an altitude of Mbout feet, the r ipes and regulations laid down by th# ordinary cook-book are, it seems, worth less. Water bolls there at 202 degrees Fahrenheit Instead of at 212 degrees, as lit sen level; hence articles of food to h** boiled require a much longer rooking than the usual cookbook prescribes.
