Tjb Chattanooga News reprints -frOWThe Manufacturers' Record flg t'ttrtf In which the value of cotton and ' tli-;oM and silver production of the '"World arc compared, showing that the KOttan crop is more valuable than that ' vt the two rredous metals named. For example, the total value of cotton pro ' dttfeflon from 1900 to the end of 1905 is egfcamted at 2,?74.OOO,(0O, while the , combined value of the gold and silver 'ttrodurtlon was 2,578,6ri2,OO0.

Ther can be but one answer to, th question, and yet w ar ' perfectly awar that Jt would be worse than - useless to suggest such a thing. It would be said the government wa pen sioning those who tried to de stroy It. and making no distinction be- tween those who assailed It and those who Buffered on Its behalf. Undoubtedly thia Is a distinction wnicn an rrents must recognize, and we hava noth lng to say against it-and yet we love to think that the time win come, peiup when there is comparatively but a hand ful of them left, when the whole country, n a matter of sentiment, Will inslet on caring for and soothing the last days of every brave American who Is neeay ana suffering whd fought on either lde In the great civil war." There lx, as The Post Indicates, no likelihood of a measure to pension ex- Confederates being taken seriously by Congress nt this time, and we are In clined to the belief that nothing good will ever come of bringing It up. The kindly sentiment of The Post cannot but te appreciated In the South, but there Is something about the proposi tion of a Confederate veteran drawing pension money from the United States government that does not set well with us of the South. This matter of caring for the graves of our soldiers who died in Northern prisons or wero klllfd on Northern fields of battle may, generally speaking, be Just as great a departure from the strict rule in'fiwch cases as the pension proposition, but it does not appear so, It Is true manv old soldiers have suffered, owing to their States being unable to pay even the most needy more than a mere pit tance, but they have been able to get along thus far without aid frcm the general government, and now that their section has fully recovered from the effects of the war they can con tinue to do BO. If our friends In other parts of the country will be content to let us alone, we shall come along fairly well. If there Is anything In the way of pen sion legislation that would really ben efit the South, as well as all other flec tions of the country. It Is the curtail ment of the unjust sums now drawn by members of the G. A. R. GRATIFYING SCHOOL FIGURES.

POULTRY'S TESTIMONY. Hon. Poultry Blgelow cut a sorry figure before the Senate committee on inter-oceanic canals Thursday. This Is the Judgment of The New Tork Even lng Post, a paper unfriendly to the administration, and It 1 borne out by a reading of the report of the hearing. Poultry was summoned before the committee to give testimony as to the conditions on the Isthmus of Panama, and it was found that he knew noth ing, or if he did he .would not tell lt. He refused to disclose the names of the persons from whom he derived the alleged Information used In a recent Issue of The Independent. The only In teresting things he said were that he was on the isthmus "the better part of two days" and that before his article about It was accepted by The Inde pendent It was offered to Harper's Wpklv nnd Collier's and declined hv . . . 1 It Is ,not to be believed that all the conditions on the canal aone are Ideal, and before the canal la flnlahed there ,,. . ,m . - . will Ih, stealing world without end and mal-admlnlstrutiom in great variety, so that thero will be or there may be .,.K,i, . fn ' ' vv ' ' J criticism.
