COTTON.
New York, Wednesday, Nov. 9, 1898.
Union Recorder:—With the stop
page of the spinning demand in Man
chester, must come the crucial te6t of
the cheapness of present prices, wheth
er it is relative or real. Confronted by
the extreme probability of an enormous
yield, a probability which amounts al-
Most to a certainty, the trade has a
doubt which later events alone will
dispel. Speculation does not enter the
Market, the local trade is easily affect-
ed by incidents of the movement, and
Liverpool has been a seller here on the
apprehension of war, which would tend
to widen the differences between the
two markets. This fear is for the mo-
Ment happily allayed,but with the more
peaceful outlook there comes no im
provement in prices. The South ap
pears to be under the influence of the
brilliant prospects, and the absorption
of the early receipts has been attribut
ed to the demand to fill contracts pre*
viously entered into for export. The
frost6 which had been dreaded seem to
have caused comparatively little if any
damage, and were at any rate passed
unheeded by the trade.
Texas estimates are up to four mil
lion bales. Early cotton in very poor
in srade. Despite the unquestioned
pointing of all the facts toward lowt r
prices, it is to be remembered that
cotton lias made a record price this
season, that there must be a curtail
ment of acreage in consequence, and
that there is a dangerous unanimity of
sentiment. The steadiness ot the mar
ket at present figures, in the face of all
the adverse influence is proof that the
price in all probability, will not de
cline to any great extent, while the
possibility of a considerable improve
ment is slowly coming to the attention
of investors, and inducing moderate
buying. Yours very truly,
Hubbard Bros. & Co.

Good Cause for Dissatisfaction.
Those of the Cubans who have con
siderable interests at stake are very
much dissatisfied with the delay on the
part ot the United States in taking
possession of Cuba. And they have
good reason to be dissatisfied. Absolute
ly nothing is being done toward restor
ing ifilie prosperity of the island. Every
thing depends on agriculture. The
planters and small farmers cannot go
to work to restore tlie plantations and
farms because there is no security lor
anything. The Spaniards are robbing
the people, and there are roving bands
of guerillas who steal to satisfy their
wants. There is no business in the
towns because the land is producing
nothing. Money is needed to put the
plantations in working order. The
Cubans haven’t any money, and capi
talists in this country will aot lend
them any until it is definitely determ
ined what the government of the 16-
land is to be. Everything is at a stand
still. It is easy to believe, therefore
that the statement that the people are
dying from starvation at a fearful rate
is true.
But what can the President do to
better matters? He is doing his utmost
to get the Spaniards out ot the island.
They say that they cannot go faster
than they are going for the lack of
troop transports. There is of course,
some truth in what they 6ay. Our
troops cannot occupy the islands any
faster than the Spaniards move out of
it. The President has already fixed
two dates for the completion of the
evacuation, but it is evident that not
half of the Spanish army will be on its
way to Spain at the last date.
Could it not be arranged so that our
army could take possession at once? It
may not be absolutely necessary that
all the Spanish troops shall have left
Cuba before the island passes into our
possession. Why could not the island
be turned over to our government at
once, so that the work of providing it
with an enlightened and stable govern
ment could be begun without futher de
lay? There is no danger that there
would be trouble between our soldiers
and those of Spain.
It would not be practical for our
government to undertake to feed the
Cubans until a stable government in
the island is established, because to do
that would only delay the return of
prosperity. Those of the Cublans in
need would not work as long as they
were fed by our government. Even
now it is difficult to get such laborers
as are needed because of the impress
ion that our government is going to
issue tree rations as soon as food in
Cuba becomes a little scarcer than it
About the only thing our government
can do to better the situation is to get
control of the island at the earliest pos
sible moment, and establish there a
government that would command the
confidence of the entire world. As
soon as that is done,there will be plenty
of money in Cuba, and work for all the
people there.—Savannah News.

Mrs. L. A. Johnston. Kt

of the stomach aad how she was
eared:
“I will state to yon that I have
taken eight bottles of your Pe-ru-na
and two of Man-a-Iin and rejoice to say,
* God bless Dr. Hartman and Pe-ru-na.’
And l earnestly manure you that it
has done me more good than any medi
cine I have ever taken in my life. I
prescribe it to every one I meet who
ia suffering, as the beat medicine in

verts who are now rejoicing in the
great good which they have derived
from tha same. I can tell you that I
am almost entirely relieved of indiges
tion, that great foe whieh has tortured
me so many years, and can now eat
anything I desire without it is fruits or
something acid.”
To understand the scientific action
of Pe-ru-na it is beat to have Dr. Hart-

CHARACTER.
It has been said that nothing is
sure in this world save death and
taxes.
Such things have occurred that the
millionaire ot today is the pauper of to
morrow.
Riches take wings to themselves and
fly away and it is seldom that a large
estate is kept intact beyond the second
or third generation.
Power is taken away from the hands
of those even who seek to use it only
for the good of those they govern; rep
utation may become tarnished through
no legitimate cause or reason, health
may vanish though its laws, insofar as
we understand them, be strictly obey
ed, but character is the only thing over
which we have entire control,and which
misfortune cannot touch.
A man’s character is moulded and
formed by himself, though precept
amd example and is the one tangible
and permanent asset that he is sure
of.
It would seem then, that the very
greatest and utmost care should lie given
to its formation.
Reputation may be the immediate
jewel of the soul, but character is
above and beyond it Augusta
Herald.
A Candidate’s Wasted Kisses.
“Madam, may I kiss these beautiful
children?” inquired a candidate for the
bye-election in the English midlands
the other day, who was on a tour round
the constituency, as he leaned over the
front gate.
“Certainly, sir; there is no possible
objection.”
“They are lovely darlings,” said the
would-be M. P., alter lie had finished
the eleventh, “I have seldom seen
more beautiful babies. Are they yours,
ma’am?”
The lady blushed deeply.
“Of course, tlieyare, the sweet little
treasures. From whom else, nia’Hm
could they have inherited those limpid
eyes, those rosy cheeks, those profuse
curls, those comely figures, and those
musical voices?”
The lady continued blushing.
“By the way, ma’am ” said he,
“may I bother you to tell your estima
ble husband that Richard J. Spouter,
parliamentary candidate for this divis
ion, called upon him this evening?”
“Excuse me, sir,” said the lady: “I
have no husband.”
“But these children, madam—you
surely are not a widow?”
“I feared you were mistaken,sir,when
you first came up. These are not my
children. This is an orphan asylum!”

School-Boy Love-Making,
A heart-rending case of youthful af
fection brutally nipped in the bud lias
just been related to me by the mother
of one ol my ooy friends, says the
Washington Post. The boy friend,
poor fellow, is the hero. He is in the
eighth grade of one of the city schools,
and he adores,as only a boy ot that age,
more’s the pity, can adore, a girl in the
same school, a pert little snip ot a
thing, who draws in her belt a hole or
two, on the sly, and is just beginning
to use a hand-glass in making her toilet.
The boys hadn’t the courage to tell her
the state of his feelings in person, but
he wrote her a letter, a wonderful let
ter, which began 4 * Dear Friend
Lula,” and contained an ardent
declaration of undying devotion.
He didn’t like to trust the precious
missive to the post, but he knew where
she lives. He passes the house on his
way to and from school, though it
takes him quite three blocks out of the
way to do so. One dark evening he
slipped to the door slyly, laid the letter
on the step, rang the door bell, and
scampered away. Her father came to
the door, looked out, saw nobody, and
shut the door again, leaving the letter
lying where the boy had put it. Again
the young lover mounted the steps, and
again lie rang the bell and fled. The
father appeared again, and again with
drew without seeing the letter. The boy
determined to make one more trial, but
even as his finger was on the bell but
ton the door flew open and he was drag
ged into the lighted hail.
“I’ve caught you, have 1?” snorted
her irate father. “I’ve caught you, you
young scoundrel! This is the third
evening this week I’ve been annoyed
by you imps ringing that bell, and I’m
going to whale your smart Aleckiness
out of you.”
Several blows fell before the boy
could gasp hut his explanation, and all
the while,in the parlor, there she—she
sat andsaw and heard it all. And oh,a
fewminutes later he walked down the
steps,with a lump in his throat and a hot
feeliag all over him, and a wild thank
fulness that it was dark and a bitter de
sire to go somewhere, where nobody
could see him again the longest day he
lived. The very street lamps seemed to
know and to wink derisively. Home
he went, and straight to bed, where an
hour later his mother found him, all
his prete nse of big boyishness vanished,
sobbing his heart out in the dark. Even
mother couldn’t help him, poor boy!
Her father and her mother, yes, and his
father and mother too, have laughed
about it uproariously, but his cheeks
burn with mingled pain and humilia
tion whenever the horrid specter ot it
looms up over his lesson book.
