The impression prevails that the
Territory of Alaska is a cold, barren
region, valuable only for its fisheries.
But large deposits of minerals have
been found there, and .explorations
show that there are fine agricultural
lands enough in it to support a popu
lation of 20,000,000. In the southern
part of the Territory there are over
;,f00 square miles of tillable land.
The Boston Post-Transcript, Re
publican, protests against its party,
as a party of "moral ideas and pur

Republican party is a party of
"moral ideas and purposes" is a fraud
that was exploded long ago.
California sems to run her busi

to manipulate the grape iuice and
run the wine making business. The

The Farmers' Alliance has about
gone to pieces in Georgia. Politics
did it. The Alliance in North Caro
Una is not one-third as strong as it
was three years ago. Politics did
that. Marion Butler, President of
the Alliance, says it has nothing to
do with politics now, but in the
meantime Marion is working as a
zealous member of the Populist
party. The Alliance ought to dis
pense with the services of Marion
and let him give his undivided at
tention to the Populist party.
Even such an ardent and radical
tariff reformer as Col. Watterson, of
the Louisville Courier-Journal, who
from the beginning has denounced
the new tariff bill as a surrender, has
discovered and confesses that there
is much in it to commend it to the
people. After enumerating many of
the things on which the duties have
been reduced, he says : "These
things are not to be sneezed at, and
with patience and good luck we may
worry along until good fortune and
the people's votes give us another
chance to do better. If, despite
treachery and cowardice and the
stifling grip of the protected inter
ests, the Democracy has succeded by
even this much in making the poor
man's dollar go further in furnishing
his home and buying clothing for his
family, it cannot be wholly con
demned, however much and however
justly it may be taken to task for
having failed to keep all its
pledges."

WILMINGTON,
ABOUT COTTON.
Hubbard, Price & Co.'s Lietter Flattering
Beporta in Regard to the Crop Esti
mated at Nine Million Bales.
New York, August 24. It is evident
that the improvement in trade which
commenced about a month ago has
come to stay, and that all calculations
for ttie future regarding the price of
cotton must be based upon tbe idea of a
normal trade from now oat. It is possi
ble, indeed, that the improvement in
business may be so rapid as to cause a
sharp advance in the price of cotton
goods, as there is no stock of any conse
quence among merchants, the only
question; being as to the extent of the
accumulation of cotton goods at the
mills. And as manufacturers have, if
anything, been more timid than mer
chants for the last six months, we cannot
believe that tbe accumulation existing
in first hands is of any serious magni
tude. Crop accounts up to the middle ol the
week have been of the same character
as we have before quoted, but since that
time there has been a slight change,
complaints having been received of rust
and blight in Mississippi, and shedding
in Alabama and other sections of the
cotton belt. Some complaint has also
been heard of boll worms in Texas, but
as yet it can be safely said that no seri
ous damage has occurred to the cotton
crop of this year.. At the present time
it is raining heavily in the country East
ot the Mississippi with prospects of its
continuing for several days, but the trade
is of the belief that rainy weather does
not injure the. crop; it only retards its
development, and the weed continues to
grow as long as it is given sufficient
moisture.
The reports which are given by the
Southern buyers who are here for the
purpose of securing their annual supplies
of goods, arc indeed most flattering in
regard to the crop, and Mr. Neill's esti
mate of 9.000,000 bales is universally ac
cepted as pointing to the ultimate yield
for the ensuing year. But when closely
questioned regarding the crop, these
gentlemen state that the plant is a large
one and not fully fruited, and that very
much will depend upon the picking
season as to the extent ot the crop.
Nevertheless it must be clearly stated
that the crop does not appear to have
deteriorated as much during the month
of August as is usual, and this feeling is
dominant in the minds of the cotton
trade. Even those who are conser
vative in their views, are at a loss
to find anything excepting good
trade conditions throughout the
world upon which to predict an ad
vance in the price of cotton, should pres
ent crop prospects continue. On the
other hand, it is universally admitted
that the short interest in cotton is larger
to day than for several years, and that
the long interest is almost exclusively
held by exporters who have sold to con
tinental spinners. Tne situation is thus
reversed from what it usually is at this
season of the year, when all the commis
sion houses are long for speculative ac
count, and if anything not largely inter
ested for exporters, but this year the
speculator is not apparent in the ofhees
ol the commission men, nor throughout
the country, and if anything he is iden
tified with the short side of the market.
Receipts in the Atlantic ports, in con
sequence ot the recent rainy weatner,
promises to be lighter than had been
anticipated, while in Texas the move
ment is free and it is reported tnt toe
covering for the short interest ior ship
ment in the month of Augus-., and tbe
demand from the American spinners, is
sufficient to maintain tbe prices in Texas
above a parity with the foreign matkets.
So far as can be foreseen at the pres
ent time, it is not likely that speculation
will be attracted to cotton unless some
serious injury happens to the crop from
now on. It is admitted that tne con
sumption of cotton will be greater than
ever before known during the coming
year, but it will require something more
than consumption to stimulate the ac
tivity in the market which is needed to
bring about an advance in prices.
The situation in the market thus re
solves itself into a condition of
a small iong interest, a large
short interest for speculative ac
count for shipment to Europe and to
the American mills, with the long inter
est held by exporters, and what specula
tive interest there is in the market iden
tified with prospects of a further decline
in prices. This situation is one which
naturally creates great caution on the
part of those who look for a further de
cline, and is an inviting one for a bull
campaign, should anything appear that
would tend to reduce the crop to limits
which would touch the estimated con
sumption of between 8.000,000 and 8.250.
000 bales of American cotton for the en
suing season.
John D, Bellamy, Jr.
The Charlotte News, whose editor at
tended the Lumberton convention,
makes the following complimentary
mention ot Mr. Bellamy :
"Mr. John D. Bellamy, of Wilming
ton, lost the nomination, but be gained
immeasurably in other ways. He should
have nothing to regret about his cam
paign. He made from first to last an
excellent run, leading handsomely from
the start. By his campaign, he has been
brought in touch with the people and
has made friends in every township in
the district. He has secured a popular
ity of no fleeting kind, but one that will
grow, and that will continually serve a
good term to the deserving and chival
rous man of the Cape Fear. The friends
he has made more than compensate him
for the loss of the nomination so gal
lantly contested."
Tennent Evened Up.
Delegate Tennent, of the Second
Ward, not only lost his candidate at
Lumberton, but likewise an entire night's
sleep. He returned Thursday afternoon,
went home, and at 3 p. m. lay down for
an hour's nap; but be didn't wake up
until 7 o'clock yesterday morning. This
was sixteen hours straight, an d it brought
Ed's average right up to the normal
point.

Star
COTTON BAGGING-
Further Advance in Price The Jute Trust
Making Its Last Deaparate Effort.
In addition to what was recently print
ed in the Star about cotton bagging, the
Savannah News has this: -A
The National Cordage Company,
otherwise the Jute Bagging Trust, is
playing a great game to keep the market
cornered for the present year and pull
the farmer for all it can. on the bagging
needed this season.
The trust has been keeping only a
small stock of bagging on hand in anti
cipation of the tariff bill, which has taken
off the duty. It has been selling it, too,
in small lots. The supply now on hand
is hardly sufficient to take care of this
year's cotton crop, and it is too late un
der the present conditions for the farm
ers and cotton men to talk about import-
ng bagging from England.
Tbe facts in the case from a Southern
standpoint are that many of the cotton
factors and farmers have laid in a supply
of bagging with which to handle a large
part of their crop, having bought it at a
time when the low freight rates from
New York and other Northern points
were in force, because they got it laid
down cheaper than they could have
done had the regular freight rates re
mained in force. They will not, there
tore, need a full supply with which to
handle their crops, and tbe trust knows
this. The farmers and factors would
not, therefore, be so ready to begin im
porting. It is a tact, too, that owing to the fall
ing off iri the demand the .foreign mills
have been inactive, and if orders were
given now they could not be filled in
time lor the present crop. The bagging
trust appreciates this situation, and is
going to push the market for all it is
worth.
Tbe Senate bill takes off the duty ot
2.22 cents, which was kept up by the
McKinley Act, and consequently makes
the bagging just that much cheaper. As
an example of the fact that the trust is
going to squeeze thefarmer for all it is
worth, it may be stated that not a week
ago bagging was advanced three-quarters
of a cent a yard within four or five
days' time. Many of tbe Savannah fac
tors have bought a greater part of their
supply, as have others, on account of the
cheap rates, and under the circumstan
ces there is hardly enough inducement
to purchase large importations from
abroad this year.
The trust realizes that this is its last
chance. The consequence is bagging is
advancing in price every day or two.
Unless something can be done the
chances are that bagging will go much
higher than it has ever been since the
Alliance tackled the Jute Trust. One of
the managers of the Cordage Company
is quoted as follows :
"Basving will be bagging before the
season is over, and we expect to recoup
our losses on this season and look to
the Republicans to put us back under
their protecting wing in the future."
This not only bears out the indica
tions, but shows they boast of the fact
that they will attempt to squeeze out
every dollar they can.
A New Band.
The Hanover Cornet Band, organized
two months ago and equipped with a
complete set ol nickel-plated instru
ments, made, their first appearance in
public last night, and favored the Star
with a serenade. The members of the

The Firemen's Gala Week.
The Winston Republican says : "Salis
bury, Wilmington, Greensboro, New

companies of the State will be here next
week at the State Firemen's Associa
tion and Tournament. A number will
bring their engines and apparatus while
others will come only as delegates. It
promises to prove an interesting occa
sion and the Twin-City extends a cordial
and most hospitable welcome. Our
three local companies are practicing
faithfully tor the reel, steam and other
contests, and these features will be
spirited. Visiting firemen are coming
in good trim and whoever "wins the
