( THE COTTON OUTt-OOK. Bad Vnlkw, Boil Worm* aad But Doing Mark Damage to the Gotten Crop—An KM tainted Lorn of from Twenty to Forty Per Cent, on the KarUer Estimates of the Total Yield for tbo ‘ Seaton, and Still Losing. < St. Lot is, Sept. <1—‘The Globe- Demo* * erst, summarizing the reports of its < special correspondents in the cotton 1 region, says: 3 “The cotton reports froM correspond* 1 ents this week are creu less favorable ! than those off lash They vary only in 1 the estimated amount off damage dond 1 and in the causes off the damage. Id ' one section worms, in another rust, in ' others wet weather, cold weathef off ] drought, and in some worms, rust and bad weather combined haTe played 1 havoc, with the crop. Few and 1 far between are the reports that ' may be considered at all favorable. The weather appears to have 1 been the principal destructive agent In the Mississippi valley states the cold ! weather of last Week has continued) 1 turning yellow tile fields that ten days 1 ago were fresh and greffta ahd Causing ' serious shedding. In the southeastern states it was the wet weather and in Texas the lack of rain that did the mischief. The boll worms are now almost omnipresent and have greatly assisted the weather in reducing tlio crop prospects, while rust has been an important auxiliary. The most favorable report from Texas states that the yield for that particular section will eqnal last year’s. Reports to this effect come from five points in that state, lint the great majority estimate a decrease in the prospective yield ranging ail the Way. front 16 to 90 per cent. Several correspondents say the yield has been ent short fully one-half during the last two Weeks by the drought and worms. In Louis- • iana considerable of the top crop and some of the middle crop is said to hove been lost by shedding. The rnst baa done great damage, and some destruction by worms is reported. The sudden changes in the weather from wet to dry, and from hot to chilly, are responsible for the shedding. The loss Is placed at from ‘JO to 4(1 per cent. The average damage in Mississippi is probably not •ndcr 20 per cent. The most favorable report places it at IS, while the majority of the correspondents estimate the damage done at from 20 to 50 per cent. Mississippi. indeed, seems to have suffered more, taking the state as a whole, than any other state. The cold weather, rust and worms are the evils against which the crop has played a losing game. The reports from Arkansas are not all unfavorable, strictly speaking, but they are less favorable than formerly. Pine Bluff reports the middle crop almost entirely destroyed, but says the crop in that section will be within 5 or 10 per cent of that of last year. The other points in that state report loss, more or less serious, from worms, shedding and rust, tho cool weather being mainly responsible for the damage. In Tennessee the chilly weather has turned the plant brown and caused considerable shedding, and the same agency has changed the conditions in northern Alabama, which last week sent In good reports. This week rust and shedding have materially reduced the crop prospects in that section, while In the southern part of the state the drought has reduced the estimates fully 25 per cent. The outlook in Georgia, the Carolines and Florida is no more encouraging, the reports from those states all being unfavorable.”

Bulkeley, and re-election to the United States senate for the term beginning in 1893, think it very probable that he will accept the offer and be the next secretary of war. —^— -*»— Proposed Strike of Colored Cotton Pickers.

Just whr.t nation James G.’s superb diplomacy has caused to tremble in the presence of the grand old eagle, just what commercial gates heretofore barred he has opened to the products of America the Pennsylvania enlogists of the favorite son do not stop to specify; and it is imaginable that they do not particularly care.

clear. Mr. Maine is entered for, the race. Mr. Harrison is served notice that his claim will not be regarded. When Barristm selected Maine for the chief pinch in his. cabinet he may have fancied that he had shelved a formidable rival. Whether there was any understanding', tacit or expressed, between these men regarding the renomination which one-term presidents usually seek is cot likely to bo known syve by themselves. Mr. Blaine himstdf, a man cf moods, who seems to tear each ache imd shiver of advancing age .as a veritable death summons, has not declared! his purpose ss to 1803, nor has he committed himself to any . public expression favoring the renonaination of Harrison. If Harrison shall find Maine utterly selfish, ignoring wholly the restraint which a cabinet officer puts upon his political ambition when his chief is in "the field, he will have learned one phase of the Blaine character of which he had sufficient warn ■ tag in the man's pnblio career. He was exalted to the speakership and abused that great trust for his personal enrichment. The officer Who was false to .the nation will experience no qualm of conscience, no sting of compunction in disappointing Harrison's expectation of his conduct regarding a presidential nomination.

In hm speech at Sfc.

It did not suggest, to the president's mind that the arbitrary and unjust restriction* to which he referred point to the conclusive evidence that even hi the colonic! days American manufao- ' : iaAnstetes, then Actually in their , needed no artificial nurt«m or Why did the mother . it aee&aMWy to impose u», Hons nud exactions in orithAAmeman market for it aeetesary to send two sad mar.;/ more with them, market?

CONCEALING CORRUPTION. £| Iperntl ns of Un Philadelphia Repabllo urn Ring. The special committee of the Pennylvania legislature, appointed to ta* 'estigate the offices of the stats treasurer and auditor general, as involved in he Bardsley frauds,has began its labors it Harrisburg. If the investigation were nerely the trial of certain members of * ,he dominant party in Pennsylvania >y certain other members of that »arty, it could not command general ittention outside of the state except as lensational evidence may be elicited, ["he investigation would be solely a itate issue, and its thoroughness or lack >f earnestness would bo a question for he Pennsylvania voters to pass judgnent upon at the polls. But the investigation, in its inflames, will travel beyond the boundaries >f the state. The crimes which have been committed in Pennsylvania mast sot go unpunished, not only for the lake of that commonwealth; but for the sake of honest government throughout the country. If Philadeltia and Pennsylvania can be robbed millions of dollars and the thieves shall go unpunished, thanks to the protection of political influence or of triends high in social life, the force of that example will be too strong to be resisted elsewhere, and public office will hold forth a standing invitation to embezzlement Philadelphia raised its hands in holy horror at the lawless acts of the people of New Orleans goaded to violence by^the growing insecurity of life. Philadelphia itself Has set a more insidious example of . law-breaking, much more likely to fiad imitators, unless every criminal connected with the frauds shall be ex-. posed and brought to punishment.

Pennsylvania Has invited comparison of her method of treating public robbers with the method of New York state. In the foolish hope thafcBardsley in the flesh could be cpncealed thereby from the sight of the voters ol the state, the Pennsylvania republic- ^ ans have evoked the thin and musty specter of Tweed. It remains for Pennsylvania to prove that she can deal as courageously with Bardsley and his suspected and undiscovered associates in crime as Samuel J. Tilden, in the name of the state of New York, dealt with the Tweed ling. Had New York then failed in its duty, had partisanship stepped in to shield crime from its consequences, does anyone doubt that peculation for some years at least would have spread to the governments of a dozen states and cities? The wholesome effects of Hie thorough exposure of that New York ring are felt in this state to-day. From that time to this the rule of public life in this state has been honesty, and the exceptions have been so few as to serve to illustrate the rule ft is already rumored that this Pennsylvania committee does not propose to Investigate thoroughly, that it fears the effect of exposure upon the republican state tieket, and that it will perform its work in a perfunctory fashion. The conduct of some of the members of the committee grives rise to these reports. The committee will meet at Harrisburg, and it will be manifest whether it meets to discover and punish, or to conceal and protect Pennsylvania’s boodlers.—Albany Argus.
