WASHINGTON LETTER.
Prom our iejulif Correspondent
There is a possibility that
Admiral Dewey will be the re
publican candidate for Phesi
dent next year, instead of
PresidentMeKinley. A move
uient has been started by
prominent republicans which
has thnt'ohject in view, on
rier certain contingencies. Ad
miral Dewey has not been
consulted, and has nothing
whatever to do with it. The
men in this movement are
not. after honoring Admiral
Dewey or turning Mr. McKin
ley down. They are after keep
ingthe republican party in
power for another Presiden
tial tprm. They are afraid
that Hannaism and Algerisrr
will handicap Mr. MeKinJry
to smb. an extent that it will
be impossible to re-elect him.
Their idea is to get ns many
prominent party men ns pos
sible to agree that if after
moKing caremuv oer the
ground, MeKinley's re-elee
tion should be thought
doubtful, they will nominate
Dewey, with or without Mc
Kinley's consent. The success
of this movement will depend
largely upon the outcome of
the next campaign against
the Filipinos; if the war over
there isn't ended soon, Mr.
McKinley will bo still further
handicapped.
A .
Aitnougn ne nan more
than once declared that he
would not accept thenomina
tion for Vice President, it has
all along been believed in
Washington that Governor
'Teddy' was after that very
nomination, and that Boss
Plntt, who is anxious to get
him out of New York politics
was actively assisting him.
Theannouncement that Roos
velt was to make a flvincr
rip through Nebraska spea
king almost continually from
the rear platform of his train
has added strength to that
belief. Republicans who know
the situation in Nebraska,
are preparing a soft spot on
which to fall by saying that
State pride in Col. Brvan
may cause the State to go
anti-republican. Tn view of
Col. Bryan's enthusiastic re
ception in the State, the use
of 'may' is really consider
ate on the part of those who
know that the republicans
are practically certain of de
feat in the state. In addition
to Roosevelt, they are trying
to get Mr. McKmley to go to
Omaha while he is in the
West, ostensibly to review
the First Nebraska Volun
teers, recently returned from
the Philippines, but really to
try to stir up a little republi
can enthusiasm.
Atlanta, Ga., sent a delega
tion of its most prominent
men to Washington to invite
Admiral Dewey to visit that
city, aud Representative Liv
ingston introduced the dele
gation., The Admiral said
he would accept the invita-1
tion and go about the first
of November, and would, him
self, gladly make the presen
tation of the Dwora that has
been bought for his flig offi
cer, Lt. Brumby, a native
Georgian. Dewey baa gone
to New England, where he
will be about ten days.
That imperialism is costly
will be shown by the esti
mates which will be submit
ted to Congress for appropri
ations necessary for the Ar
ray and Navy for the -fiscal
year, beginning July 1,4900.
Although all the estimates
of the War Department are
not complete, enough is al
ready known to make it cer
tain that the aggregate a
mount that will be asked for
the support of the Army and
Navy for the coming session
of Congress will reach, and
probably exceed $200,000,
000, which will be about $2.
5 or $2.70 per capita. War
Department officials say the
total amount will be consid
erably reduced, if the war in
the Philippines is brought to
a close before the appropria
tions are made, but it is very
doubtful, in a double sense
It is doubtful whether the
witr over there is ended in
that time, and douotful even
if it. should be, whether the
American army on the islands
can be materially reduced for
a long time afterwards, if
our present policy is to be
continued. Every govern
ment which has tried to gov
ern alien people by force has
found it expensive, and there
are no good reasons for be
lieving that the experience of
this country will differ in that
repeet from that of others.
The state of ex-Secretary
John Sherman's health may
be plead by the administra
tion as an excuse for his hav
ing been absolutely ignored
in the Dewey ceremonies, but
the old gentleman has given
outavigoious interview a
gainst the suggestion that
the United States should at
tempt to mediate between
England and the Transvaal
Republic to prevent the war
which now seems almost cer
tain to come, which shows
that his intellect is still in
good working order. The
Transvaal authorities wre
of the opinion that they had
made a shrewd move when
they selected Col. O'Bierne,
prominent republican poli-
tician of New York, to be
their diplomatic representa
tive in Washington, but it
has not accomplished any
thing, because of a ruleofthe
State Department, forbid
ding tho recognition of an
American citizen as the diplo
matic representative of a for
eign government. U rherne is
in Washingtou but has re
ceived no official recogni
tion. He intimates that be
intends bringing political
pressure to bear uponMr
McKinley when he returns,
and expresses the belief that
Mr. McKinley wjll overrule
the State Department and
recognize him in his diplo
matic capacity. If he does,
book out for squalls.

The South'! Sew Departure:
The New York Journal of
Commerce gives an interest
ing account of the southern
cotton manufacturing indus-
rryior eeptemoer. it says
that the activity displayed
during that month far ex-
ceds that of August. The spin
dies for September number
about 223,000 and the looms
5,000. The Journal estimates
that the amount required to
install this machinery re5dy
for operation will be about
$4,000,000. Besides this it
says that there were about a
dozen companies formally or
ganized with capital subscri
bed that did not state what
equipments would be. The
capital of these companies
aggregate $1,075,000. Then
follows a list more than a col
umn in length, of the various
new cotton mills in contem
plation, the largest of which
is a million dollar factory at
Gastonia, N. C, It Is also said
that several representatives
of New England companies
who were investigating the
south for eligible branch tac
tones during the summer,
have returned home, and one
of them, at least, has the di
rectors considering the in
vestment of a large sum! of
money in a southern plant.
The cotton industry in the
south is growing with won
derful rapidity, and it is the
opinion or some tnat toe
large number of ne cotton
mills in this section, making
of course a more active de
mand for raw cotton, have
helped to increase the price
of raw material. But the most
interesting thing to us about
the article'in the Journal is,
that the machinery for these
new cotton mills and enlarge
ments come mainly from New
England. The spindles, car
ding machines, looms, etc.,
come entirely from New Eng
land, while tha boilers, en
gines, water wheels and oth
er supplementary apparatus
of divers kinds are furnished
by all sections. It is further
stated that the New England
machinery workers continue
to work extra time to enable
them to fill their contracts.
and within the past week it
has becomo known that a de
cided increase in the price of
cotton milling machinery is
pending early announcment.
It will be seen4hat we are
still depending on New Eng
land for rnnnulactured artic
les. A little while ago we were
buying all our cotton goods
from New England. We pick
ed cotton from the fields,
ginned and baled it, sent it
to Now England, and had it
returned to us in the form of
cotton cloths. But by and
by we discovered that we
that we could manufacture
this cotton at our own doors
and when the southern mills
fairly got into operation, the
New England mills in some
instances were forced to shut
down, because they could not
stand the competition. But
now that we have learned
bow to build and operatecot
ton factories in our own ter
ritory we are sending to New
England for our machinery,
although Bermingham is now
the iron center of the world.
Wre cannot do everything in
a day, but we are learniDg
great and valuable lessons.
We have learned bow to man
nfacture cotton goods. We
have learned bow to make
pig iron and steel in com pet i
tion with the worid, and by
and ty'we shalt have learned
how to manufacture all sorts
of machinery. Tetime is not
distant when the cotton in
dustry will be practically con
fined to thejsouth, and when
the machinery for these facto
ries will be manufactured at
home. Richmond Times.
