How y ean opc to grow cotton at 8 cents per pound is a mystery. 1 hey ar slipping lack wards all the turn isut instead ot carrvinj; the mer- chant the fanner vear after year puts of a legar for himself in the position the merchant's favor. -The merchant- asks: "Flow much cotton will you raise?" If the farmer, who is as much a slave to the cotton habit as a loy to ? the cigarette habit, says: ! intend to; put in no cotton this vear. the mer-i chant will sav: -Then 1 can make ou 1 no advances." So the jKjor devil, who is always behindhand in iiioikv mat ters is forced to plant cotton. Thus the. cotton crop and the lien system have brouirht about a condition which j tends to fill the ranks of the Alliance, j causes dissat faction and a crving out jatr the financial svstem.

I . iiueireyis tumeti longingly lowanis the Collectorship of Customs at the port of New York, which has been resigned by Mr Fasstt, the republi can nominee for Governor of that State. There are also a number of other des: table positions to be filled, including two seats upon tho Inter State Commerce Commission am! a Uhird-assistant Secretary of State. There is one marked difference lie tween the office hunters of the present time and those of March, 18S9. Then i the brass band style was the prevail ing one, ever fellow that could get himself before tho public by means of newspaier interviews did so, many of them to their everlasting rogret. Now everyone of them is on the 'still hunt. Yon would never know from the hotel registers anything of this sudden influx of the brood political, for the very, good reason that thosn of them who have not stopped at the private resi liences of personal friends have taken special pains to keep their names from the public registers! of tho hotels at which thev , are domiciled, and have U-sides requestetl the clerks, and even the waiters in some instances, under no circumstances to let any horritl newspapermen know that they were in the house. Rut the newspajiermen knew it all the same, as they usually do everything of any importance that is going on in Washington. It is not probable, judging from the liest information obtainable, that the public curiosity regarding the succes sor to Secretary Proctor will bo grati fied leforc the first of Novemlier, upon which date that gentleman will assume the "Senatorial toga" the temptation to use this time-worn ex pression is irresistible. There is a story here that is plausible if not true, to the effect that Attorney General Miller is to be made one of the Circuit Court Justice? and that ccretary Noble is to lie made Attorney -General, thus making two vacancies in the Cabinet. There may be no better foundation' for this than the known desires of the two men. Mr. Miller has long been credited with having judicial aspirations, although it was supposed to be a Supreme Court chair upon which his ambition was stt, and it is well-known that Mr. Noble would find the purely legal duties of the holder of the Attorney -General' port folio far more congenial than the ma nifold responsibilities and harrassing duties which devolve upon the man who presides over the department of the Interior. Ohio politics is a subj"Ct tnat i much talked about iu Washington as well as elsewhere, just now, and for that reason a rumor which has found j jU w here may be inUretling enough ! l P11. il mosl assuredly, if it be sham adopted for the purjo of bring- jing out the full republican vote, and 'that thf-re is a perfect understanding U tween the two that if the repubiicanf ! carry the Iegilature Senator Sherman is to be reflected and is then to resign iu favor of Foraker who U to be elected Senator.
