Sometime between the dates of November the litn and 17th tbe periodic return of the great meteoric shower known as tbe L>eonlds may be expected. There Is some uncertainty Just when tbe earth will meet tbe mais of tbe meteor stream, but tbe best data available would indicate next Thursday morning tbe 16tb, about one o'clock, as being the most probable time. A brilliant display of celes ttlal flreworKs In predicted, and the suoume B^ene of 1883 may be repeated lu all Its grandeur. The quarter of the heavens from jV. which the meteors will come Is In the constellation Leo, which rises about midnight a little to the north of tbe east point of tbe horizon. Tbe point Irom which they come is called tbe radiant, because the meteors seem to radiate from this point in every direction. There should be no superstitious fear In connection with tbe event, as it is a harmless phenomenon, snbllme and Inspiring to behold, but witbout tbe slightest danger to thiB earth or any of Its inhabitants. But few people live to see two showers and everv one ought to witness one If possible. Let us hope f*V. tbe beavens will be clear and that the thoughts aroused will be as pure and sublime as tbe silent messages written In light on tbe dome of tbe stcy. cotton movement for the week. ; v,' . During the past week the cotton movement In this city has been very limited; the receipts being much smaller than the previous week. Prices have ranged from 7 to % cents. In oonseqnence of tbe slow movement and limited sales, trade has fallen off in tbe same proportion. . Tbe weatber continues unprecedently fine, and as we realize It Is now tbe middle 01 November the question comes to us, Is Abbeville receiving her usual share of cotton? and if not. why not.

Explained By President of Philippine Commission?Any Interference Is Unnecessary?Mr. Schnrman Thinks That Arrancemenli Which Have Been Made Are Best ah ran?ahnah * ? ? ? Id view of the current discussion of the military agreement between Oeneral Bate* and tbe saltan of Sulu tbe views of President Scharman, of tbe Philippine commission, on v. tbe subject are interesting. Mr. Bcburman waa one of the first Americans to visit Joio, the seat of Spanish government In the Sulu archipelago, and bad an extended interview with the sultan before the arrival of General Bates. Tbe arrangements entered Into between General Bates and tb? saltan was considerably influenced by tbls meeting. Although tbe full agreement with tbe Sultan has not been made public by tbe Washington authorities, it can be stated that it practically conforms to the previous conventlon existing between tbe Sultan and tbe Spanish government. In tbls agreement Spain never claimed anything more than an external protectorate over the Sula group, the right to suppress piracy In its waters and to prevent ibe periodic migration*) or the oathbound Mohammedans wbo went to tbe northern islands under a vow to kill Christians and.thus secure an entrance into Paradise. Professor Scburman said when questioned about tbe probable continuance of polygamy and slavery in the islands after they came >under tbe American dominion that this was a subject which would have to be dealt with In the most careful fashion to bring an ultimately satisfactory solution. He said: "It seems to me that were it not for the ignorance displayed, the present hue and cry about polygamy and slavery in these Islands would be absolutely criminal. In taking \ over tbe Sulu group we have acquired no i \ rights of any Bort there except those be5". qneathed us by Spain. She was bound by ' \ Her agreement with tbe sultan not to interim . \ fere with the religion or customs of the is\ lands and it would be most unwise for us to \ attempt this by force when It can be ulti\ mately accomplished by the slower methed \ of civilization and education. \ "The Sulu group proper contains about \ 100,000 inhabitants. They are all Mohamrae' \ dans, as are about 150,000 of the residents of '% \ Mindanoa, directly east. To attempt to lnter\ fere with the religion of these people would \ precipitate one of tbe bloodJest wars In whlcn \ this country has ever been engaged. They v are a different race physically and mentally from the residents of the Viscayan islespowerful men and religious fanatics of the anost pronounced type, who care nothing for fflioih onrt h<>iieve the road to heaven can be 1 attained by killing Christians. Polygamy Is a laart of their religion. and slavery, about wbltoh so much Is being said Just now, Is a mllq type of feudal bondage. ."Th-.e sultan believes from whathehasReen of Americans that tbey are ready to be friendly and desti honestly by blm. Our soldiers and officers already travel in'o tbe interior of Jolo witlh perfect impunity, where Spaniards never dafted to set foot. It has been suggested indirectly to tbe sultan that be should malbtaln a n American of good standing as a confldentlaA adviser at his court to aid blm / In the worhf of material development for which the beamtiful group of islands Is ready, and which isv bound to come when they are thrown in touc?h with the oivillzed. J believe that he will tak^klndly to this suggestion." The newest things in Dress Trimmings wtfll be found at Smith's Drv Gnods and Milli ll- ' y.- :Z% fc # f Tribute to the Jcwn. The subjoined article, written by George K. Wendling for The New York Herald at its request, and published over hie signature in its issue of January 31. 1892, atfacted wide attention. "There is not a drop of Jewish blood in ray veins. I am not connected with the Jews by marriage or aoy near or distaut kinsman. I owe no Jew a dollar and no Jew owes me. Among all my persoual or intimate friends I can not name one single Jew. I speak from the vantage ground of absolute imlpnendence. "Do you want an aristocracy of blood and birth? The Jews are the purest blooded people and have the best established descent in the world, Not Mirabeau in tbe French convention nor Patrick Henry in the house of Burgesses, nor 'Sam' Adams in the old Colonial days ever said a more I thrilling thing that Disraeli said in the English Commons in reply to the charge that he was a Jew : 4 Yes, I am a Jew ! And when the ancestors of the rivht honorable gentleman were brutal savagesin au unknown island, mine were priests in the temple. "Do you seek au aristocracy of talent? The great Church historian, Neabder, was a Jew: Napoleon's marshal-, Soult and Massena, were Jews; tbe brilliant and cynical Heine was a Jew, and?but the world's roll of great soldiers authors, musicians, painters, poets philosophets and finan ?? nurnou ciers" contain mure X1CU1CW UUUJVWI than I can recite in many hours. ! "Are you looking for an aristocracy of wealth? The combined fiuaucial power of Jews in Europe can prevent 'the floating of almost any national Iloan which may be put upon the } markets of the world ! "It Is a spurious, false Chrilianity that hates the Jews. The mystery of the incarnation found expression in I the flesh and blood of a Jew. We get (our Ten Commandments?the very foundation of our civilization?through the Jew. We aing Jewish Psalms, are uplifted by the passion and poetry of Jewish prophets, and rely ou Jewish biographers for the only hi-tory we have of Christ. We get our Pauline theory from a Jew, and we catch our earliest glimpse of the next world through the sublime apocalyptic vision of a Jew. Then forsooth, we Christians turn about and sneer at Jews. I have conversed with teachers of philosophy who spoke slightingly of the Jews, and yet were teachiug with enthusiams ideas which they had absorbed from Mainmonides aud Spinoza, the two greatest philosphers, omitting Kant, since Plato's day? both of them Jew*. I have heard musicians denounce Jews and then spend days and nights trying to interpret the beauties of Rossini, Meyerbeer and Mendelsohn?all Jews; I talked the other day with a gifted actress, and heard both her and her husband sweepingly condemn, confidentially, of course, the whole race of Jews, and yet that woman would give half the remaining part of her life if she could only reach the heights which the great queen of tragedy, Rachel, trod with such majesty and power?and Rachel was a Jewess. Here in Washington I have heard aspiring politicians when beyond the reach of a reporters' pencil, sneer at Jews, and yet it was a Jew that made England's Queen Empress of India, and it was a Jew who for years was the adroit aud saga cious chairman of tne national culumittee of one of our great political parties. The brainiest man in the Southern Confederacy was Judah P. Benjamin, a Jew, and Chase when managing our national finance in a perilous time, owed much of his success to the constant advice of a New York Jew. That you never see a Jew tramp or a Jew drunkard is a proverb ; that you never see a Jew beggar is a commonplace; that is a statistical fact that there are relatively fewer immates of our hospitals, jails and workhouses furnished by Jews than any other race contributes. tinnr,va^ tha Towa ! Yes. but mean while let us convert many of our Church members to genuine Christianity. Suppress the Jews! A score of Russian Czars cannot do it. Every people on earth has tried it and failed. They have outlived tbe Tudors and the Plantagenets, the Romanoffs, the tyranny of Spain, the dynasties of France, Charlemagne, Constantly, the Caesars, the Babylonian kings and the Egyptian Pharoahs. It was God's own race for 4,000 years, and the awful persecution it has survived for 2,000 years more stamps it as a race still bearing some mysterious relation to theplansof the Eternal. The beauty and fideity of Jewish women command my homage, aud among wealthy and educated Jewesses, aheir culture and high breeding, blended with a sort of Oriental grace and dignity, put them amontr the most charming wo men in the world. "But the Jew i9 tricky! Is he? Were you never taken in by a Methodist class leader on a real estate trade? Did you never get into close quarters with a Presbyterian speculator ? Did you ever buy mining stock on the representations of an Episcopalian broker? Did you ever take a man's word quicker because he was a Baptist or Boman Catholic? Did you never see a stone weighing twenty pounds concealed in a bale of cotton grown by a Southerner? Did you never find lard in the butter sold by a New England Puritan ? ''The belief that the Jew is more dishonest than the Gentile is one-half nonsense and the other half prejudic and falsehood. The anti-Jewish feeling which now seems to be rising again is un-Cbristian, inhuman and un-American. It is born of the devil and is detestable. "George K. Wenanng." Undercurrent)). An un^hichored ship may be lying on waters as smooth as glass, and .yet before the master is awake his keel is is on a rock! The invisible tide bore him away so softly and so silently that he did not observe the motion. So are thousands of people?yes, and some professed Christians, too?carried on the rock every week, not b.v gales of adversity, but by undercurrents of strong temptation. One man is slowly seduced iuto slavery to the bottle ; or he feels the grip of sensual temptation, but he takes uo alarm till he strikes the rocks with a hideous rent of character.
