The resolutions and recommenda tions of the labor conference of Southern textile manufacturers, held at Nashville, Tenn,," thinks The Tex tile Manufacturers' Journal, of New York, "form the most effective kind Of aa answer to those 'reformers' and theorists who have for years been railing at 'child slavery' and other ' unhumanltarian practices which they ' claimed existed In Southern textile mills. Textile manufacturers have borne these false characterizations and Inuendoes as long aa they were able, ' and have now made a formal, public answer to their accusers, which is so emphatic as. to allow no 'misunder standing of their position." This Is all true enough, but we cannot agree with our trade contemporary's evi dent expectation that important re sults will follow the Nashville con ference. It Is one thing for sensa tional magazines and yellow news- , papers to print lurid stories of child labor horrors; It is quite another and t unheard-of thing for them to at tempt any really effective correction. If they granted redress to all the persons and Institutions whom they are continually wronging their trade 1 would become extinct Sensations these publications must have at all hazards; when, none are actually oc- liUt l m r-vvsssi.n i "v t .-rri i J tv 1 1 1 d 1 1 nfacture them, usually by unscrupu lous exaggeration. Inevitably tribes qf 1 sensation-sellers have sprung up to satisfy this demand, and they have long regarded Southern cotton mill Conditions as among material to be utilised when nothln fresher or more genuine presented Itself. Through the publications which buy most of their output the South and Southern man ufacturers nave little manee or a hearing in thla matter, but with hon- papers the case 1s so far different ' that we oirree with our trade contem porary's hopefulness to n certain ex tent dftVlal United States and State tnvertlfratlnni, nnil rpnftrtt oa ,1va (proving of some service, Tho real facts about a ultnatlon which la not half bad and Is continually Improv . lag must come out In course of time. ,; qui nu siowcr or naraer process can very easily be imagined. . - THE BLOODHOUND IN' THE ' v SOUTH. An outrageous crime having been , csmmltted on the outskirts of Dan- ' vlUe, the Intelligent authorities pro. ceeded to wnd for bloodhounds. The Danville Register la led to remark: The enly tsf piirpoxe a bluo.i .."fiocnd was ever ue1 tot wnc in 1.iverv days.

"A bloodhMind nevr ha nny reputa- , tlot In Olt same cmiunuulty after onr attempting to r"t him to prucllctil ue." In other word, the blowllmund's reputation In the South as a detective , grow entirely out of a nature fake practiced upon Innocent plantation darkles. It is a J.ike on the white '' folks that .ihey, or some of them, ended 3by believing in their own acare- , Degro device. Continued delusions on tbs vsubject, whether through wllful- 4 jiess'of fner" Ignorance, are -beyond excuse, In - this enlightened age. We hereby denounce all who support the " bloodhound's claim to detective abll ity as nature fakers of the rankest sort and if necessary will urge the President to Issue a tproclamatlon egalnit "them, The financial storm Jn New York City Is bound to have some excellent effects.

RUSSIA. IN A BETTER PATH. St. Petersburg dispatches strongly Indicate that the conservative element will (control the third Duma bys a large majority. Although this result was obtained in part y Imposing certain new suffrage restrictions, it augurs well for Russia. The country Is now more quiet than at any time In several years, and a decided re-i action against the Moody methods of the revolutionists is making Itself felt. Premier Stolypln's programme of "re. form with a strong hand" has been signally vindicated. There is now some prospect that the Russian Lib erals may take as their Inspiration England rather than France and learn that no short cut from such a backward condition as theirs to true and lasting freedom ihas ever heen found; that they must Jirst of all make themselves fit to be free, plac ing chief reliance not upon revolution but upon evolution. This we yet hope to see them do. Remarking that "the masses like to hear Mr. Bryan speak but are not willing to trust him at the helm of the ship of fitate," The Wilmington Messonger declares that the party leaders should "steer their boat In such a way as to keep It in the cur rent of public sentiment and not con tinue to run contrary to it for the simple reason that the man they are trylnpr to bopat into greator promt ence is a magnetic speaker, but ft Visionary and a political dreamer." To this nothing need toe added; It Is the whole truth boiled down. Toward Mr. Bryan we. entertain no little ad miration and esteem; but a man more thoroughly unsulted for the American presidency we should not expect to find In a whole day's Journey.

Human nature,! memory show the young people what unrestrained, by grace, is only evil and -.that continually. -The popular, hero of the war with Mexico, Gen. Zachary Taylor, was given an ovation by the people of the United States by couniry, . -, ine gruinuue ui ine piniu common people was expressed by ele vating him to the highest position in their power. He was known by the pet tiame of "Old-Rough-and-Ready;" and often on the battle field he proved himself equal to anv emergency that might anise. By the cold process of reasoning he would havo been regard ed as a good soldier, and one who deserved well of his country; ' but when ws remember that his laurels were too bright to please tho admin istration under wbjch ho fought, that a ranking officer was sent to the field, and tho greater part of Gen. Taylor's army was given to General Scott and he was left: with only 4.000 efficient men in a hostile countryostensibly that he might be defeated and his star of hope go down la obscurity. But fate decided otherwise; and when Santa Anna approached . with his great army of .21,060, "tie flowerpot Mexico," and demanded rths 'tin-conditional surrender of theV American forces, this offer was made to save bloodshed, , for he commanded the finest army on the contlnqtit? , To , this kind and t very zenerous offer, General Taylor declined to ac the vSttfttr 9tr the gauge of battle. The result of... the great battle of Buena Vista, plao ed "Old-Rough-and-Ready,"' on ; the topmost round of fame". Tne cold logic of facts would have placed him among tne nations greatest fighters, but to have his memory enshrined tn the hearts of his couatrymen secures ; but somehow, argument and logic ft fame that Is. rarely eclipsed; andjeeem feeble when pitted against that will be spoken of long after his mode of warfare la forgotten. Manv . of his lieutenants and subalterns there laid the foundation on which they built a wonderful reputatloif in after life. Hero I will make mention-of a few namoa that will grow brighter aa time rolls on. Captain Braasr.fcof artillery fame arose to the rank of a full gonesaiin the uonieaerate army. When hard press ed at Buena Vista, he dispatched a courier to the commanding general, saying: "I must have reinforcements or fall back." -Instead of complying with the request, General Taylor gal loped into the thick of the fight standing up in his stirrups, waving His sword above His head and cried out: "Give em hell. Captain Bragg." The general's presence proved valuable in the time of need. Colonel May, of the cavalry, madea most brilliant start for a famous leader; but his sun went down before noon, as ho. was never heard of after the Mexican war. Col onels Yell and Clay gave promise of great usefulness, but left their bod ies upon the battle field in obedience to tho -calls of duty. Colonel Jefferson Davis effected wonders, on that field. General Taylor congratulated him on the fleid. and said to him: "My daughter proved a better Judge of a man than I was. Here it was that he proved the V trap Instead of the hollow square-- is the most effective position to offer against an assault of cavalry. This move was afterward adopted by sev- era I military leaders in Europe, and f was pronounced a decided improve-1 earnestly Tbeg you , to protect our ln ment on the old plan. When thai tefests by your constitutional powers war was over. Colonel Davis was hlghf ly honored by his adopted -State, and - was for a number of years Senator and Secretary of War, honored po sitions. In 1861 when Mississippi seceeded, Mr. Davis left Washington,, and tendered his services to his State, and was soon elected Chief Maglatrate of the Confederacy, which office he filled during the four years of war. When all was lost, he was arrested, and put in the strongest prison In America. A strong light waa kept shin ing in his prison continually; and that not being sufficiently humiliating to gratify their base-born desire to pun ih a weak old man. who was the vicarious sufferer of the entire South ern people, General Miles ordered the cx-Preldent to be Ironed in his dun geon, and this order was most bru tally obeyed. - : ran this ever be forgotten by the men who voted for him. or the Con federate soldiers who fought for the right of local self-government, or the descendants of the men who contend ed for all that the South held dear? Many things are recorded on the tab lets of memory that thousands, would rejoice to have blotted out; but tha true Southerner had no hand In writ ing them, nor will they rub them out. As phantoms of Mrs. Surratt appeared to "Edwin M.

He was In command of Andersonvllle prison, where thous ands of prisoners died from- disease and from Insufficiency of healthy food. and want of medical supplies.

It finds gratifica tion in the weakness of the cause of woman's Suffrage Jn New .York, Maine. Oregon and elsewhere. It publishes extracts from various ad dresses made against woman's suf frage. From one address we Cull this passage: "We believe that -woman's non par tisan attitude gives her the oppor tunity for Influence tn the community which the suffrage would, divert aid curtail , S ; j, "We believe that intelligence and Integrity of character are more potent factors in governing woman's wages than the ballot would be. "We believe that more enduring good can bo accomplished gy training and molding a child's nature than by voting on tho tariff, civil service re form, railroad monopoly or any other national of State issue. " - . "We believe At to be a great wrong !to Impose "upon woman poHtieal du ties which the majority do, not want, and the , faithful discharge of which would proye a needless and useless hurdeiL . "We-belleve that you can be trust- ed to defeat this resolution, and wo. of check to the end that, woman may continue active and ibenefteent in ways with which political duties would conflict" , . i - Another woman, speaking against th extension of woman's suffrage, Is quoted as follows: "The' suffragists know, as do we all, that' when the majority of wo men want a thing done, that thing Is done for them Immediately. Then why have they been for . so many years" besieging legislatures, present ing petitions, working, arguing, and recently Jn London, fighting for their 'rights ss they call themf Simply gecause the majority of women are not behind the movement' and the legislators all know it. "If women were given an oppor tunity to work In opposition to men, which would appear to be the case it the female vote is to bring about any thing of a change, the evil effects of such -a: conflict would strike a't the very foundation of our social order, since there are not many homes which would be improved by the Introduc tion .of an antagonistic political ele- A Chicngo leader is quoted: "For the ref'utatlonj of .the asser tion -that, participation In politics did not and : could never unaex women. deprive them of charm and rend6r them less womanly, the gentlemen had only to look upon the scores ot women who crowded the committee room to push their : -cause by all Jthe means known to the most experienced lobby ists and draw their bwn -conclusions." Evidently, to Judge from. our gentle little contempdrarr, It is wrong to be- ! lleve that women as a rule are deslr ous of becoming suffragists.
