Peckham, associate justice of the United States Supreme Court, died Sunday night at Coolmore, his summer home at Altamont, Albany coun ty, N. Y. Death was due to a complication of diseases. He had been in ill health for some time but his condition was not considered serious until recently. JusticePeckham was a Demo crat, and before taking a seat on the bench, gave considerable attention to politics inNewYork. He was born in Alabany, N. Y. November 8. 1838, and had been on the bench, State and Federal, for 26 years. He came from the court of appeals of his native State, a position which Foley's Honey and Tar clears the air passages, stops the irritation in the throat, soothes the inflamed membranes and the most obstinate cough disappears Sore and inflamed lungs are healed and strengthened, and the cold is expelled from the system.

He was elected to that position in 1868. He after wards became in succession cor poration counsel for the city of Albany, member of the Supreme Court of the State and associate justice of the State court of ap peals. He was the last of Presi dent Cleveland's Democratic appointees to the Federal Su preme Court, Chief Justice Ful ler and Justice White being the other two. He took his seat in January, 1896.

The cotton manufacturers, who j say they will be forced to curtail I production until the price of their : products advance ; that they can- ! not paylS cents for cotton and sell j yarn and cloth at present prices, ! think the farmers can help them and help themselves by buying j liberally of cotton goods. The ' idea seems to be practicable. A curtailment of cotton mill pro duction means a depression in the price of cotton, which is against the farmer. It is pre sumed that the price of cotton goods is about as low as it is likely to be; that being so it is to the farmer's interest to buy be fore the price advances. In do ing this he will be buying to an advantage and helping to keep up the price of cotton, while at the sariie time he will be helping Frightful Fate Averted.

That has nothing to do with the matter if it is to the farmer's interest to buy liberally of cotton goods now, and in the present instance that appears to be so. The mill people deny that they are trying to depress the price of cotton: they maintain that they want the price maintained but at the same time must sell their goods and get enough for them to meet the prices of cotton if they are to continue in business.
