The government's monthly e-otton crop
report, t .—ll*st ye-terelay, was som*'What
of a surprise. It was thought thwt It
would show a- small a crop a some of
tits previous reports of th# season.* I
showed a larger one, giving an estimate
of 10,100.010 bales. There w.* a very con
siderable *!*•* line In I lie prl' e of futures,
and a light decline In the price e>f spot
cotton.
It r**ems that the government suceevel
e,l In k* e|*tng its re-i*ort secret tin’ll the
time for making tt public. It vmis sail
than Ihe subs’.ance of the report was of
fered on Saturday to ,p culators In N'-w
York. It was doubtless offered by som
one, who *ll.l not know whst tt was. If
the rrfeurt had lte**n known the rnark* t
would have been lower than It wa* when
th*v report was made public.
It is doubtful If the estlmat# of th#
government as to the lie of the crop
will he generally a .epte.l Hut few of
the popular estimates have placed tho
crop ataevo 9.75(1.009 hales. 11 V ,-ome of

Still, a good deal of confidence la felt
In lit# government's r#|iort, and it will
have a very bled iiiltucncc on 'he nur
k#l for several iliys. Hut. a-lmlttlng that
tlie crop Ir a iatge at, the gov.-rnment’*
re|>ort mikes tt, the supply will hardly
be equal to the demand. Owing to tho
short crop tact year It would seem a* if
Uie ib mand alintil 1 be sufficient to bring
th# price up to 10 cent* a pound. It D
safe to predict that there wdll he a pretty

The Kentucky trouble appears 10 I>#
spreading to other states. Oov. Thomas
of Colorado lias refused to honor a requi
sition of Gov. Mount of Indiana, ostensi
bly for the reason that there is some
technical def#i t In (he requisition papers,
but really because Oov. Mount refused
to honor the requlstt.on of Ihe Governor
of Keneucky for Mr Taylor, who 1* n
refuge# from the latter state. This Is an
unfortunate Mate of affairs, not only be
cause It tends to defeat the end* of Jus
tice tn tlie eases In question, but also be
cause, us Oov. Thomas Intimates, other
governors may follow the course pursue!
by Gov. Thimiiis, If called upon by Gov-
Mount to giv* up fugitives from Justice
Gov. Mount is quoted as saying that the
reason lie refused to give up Mr. Taylor
was that h# dirt not believe thit the lat
ter coukl have a fvlr trial In Kentucky
But. what right has h* to ilecirte whether
a man accused of crime In Kentucky, and
who Is a fugitive in Indiana, can have 1
fair trial tn the former state or not? Is
It not th# fact that Gov. Mount prot# ts
Mr Taylor from arrest simply because the
latter Is a Republican? If Mr Taylor
were a Demo rat would there be any hes
itation on the part of Indiana's chief ex
e. utiv# to give him up to the officers of
Ken tie ky when proper papers were pre
sented for him?
Mr Taylor 1- charged with being an *c.
rejsory to th# murder of Gov. Goebel.
Theri must be considerable proof against
him or else he would not hesitate to re
turn to Kentucky and face his a -cusers
It is hardly probable that Ihe courts and
Juries of Kentucky are so prejudiced 'ha*
Mr. Taylor could not get a fair trial
It Is true, th re Is great bitterness be
ta-run the political parl.es In that t*4c.
No rlouht there arc many Democrats
there, who. believing Mr. Taylor gull y.
would like to see him punished hut It Is
doubtful If there are any I> moerat* who
want him subjected to punishment of any
kind if he Is not guilty.
lint because Gov. Mount is doing w rong
In not honoring Ihe requisition for Mr.
Taylor. Il doesn't follow tisst O- v. Thomas
is Justified In refu.-ltig to allow Indiana fu
gitives from Justice found In Colorado. 10
I.# token ba. k to the slate tn which they
were t ndi. led If Gov. Thomas’ example
should bo gi nerally followed, it w ould not
be neecssary for criminals to seek an asy
lum in foreign states with which we have
no treaty for the return of fugitives from
Justice. They would be safe from arrest
by simply crossing slate lines.
Italian murderers and other criminals
are safe In ihe United Stales, for the time
being The Italian government has no
money available with which to pay for
the transportation of criminals from this
country to that, hence extraditions or#
temporarily of no avail. The other day a
self-ooglfeased Hnllaa murderer walked
scot-free out of a New York police sta
tion because Ihc It illan government re
fused to pay the expense of transporting
him lo Italy (or trial.
