DISCUSSIHQ SOUTHERN MILLS Some of the Northern papers out side of New England,; are takiner a gdSd deal of interest Sin the cotton manufacturing indusEry and seem to be concerned about Jfew England's mills, which are threatened, they think, by Southern! competition. One would not expect to find a pa per as far West as nicago - mam festinz extraordinary interest in this subject but the! Times-Herald of that city seems to he veyy much exercised over it, so much so that that the Washington Post takes it somewhat to task for its gloomy fore bodinea and nn warranted state ments. It asserts that the cott manufacturing industry is - "almost at a standstill" in thetNew England States, where it probably meant to have said that cotton jpnill building was almost at a standstill, which is not literally true butts true when compareu witu imu uoimiug m mo South. About the only substantial. difference between theTimes-JIerald ' and the Post, wlich lectures the Times Herald, il that the latter anticipates Ihe former and assumes that the end of cotton manufacturing in NewkEngland has already been "almost reached, while the Post thinks that it is but a question of time. jiUom meeting upon the Times Heralds assertions as to the decline of the) industry in New Eneland. the Post says: "But there has been no suchj.decline. In spite of Southern competition a competition that is bound at some time to extinguish the totton manu facturing business throughout the North the New England mills did an almost phenomenally large and profitable business last 'year." Last year was a good year for cotton mills throughout the country, for the Southern mills declared handsome dividends and the dividends of the k New England mills were larger than usual, in addition to which thecoun try imported about f $20,000,000 worth of cotton goods, ine rost is right in assuming that the New England mills will eventually disappear before South ern competition, Decatse it is an irrevocable law of manufacturing that the mills must gd to the raw materials, unless some wav be found of bringing the raw materials to the mills, some way that will offset the advantages onerea oyt being near the raw materials. Bu( in the case of the South there an other ad vantages aside from the mere fact of proximity to the raw material, effecting a saving in (the cost of transportation, etc, which in the estimation of the Tiines-Herald is the main factor with the Eastern mills, and the one that gives the Southern mills the greas advantage, wnen as a matter or. iact tnis is a minor advantage, and! if the only one need give the Eastern mill men little concern. The time will com when the cotton millings industry will move Southward, but it may not be in tnis aay or generation not wnue sue country imports as: mucn as it does of cotton goods, nor while the New England mills hsjve so much territory which they cai reach more easily than the Southern mills can, nor while the New Etgland capi talists have so manyj millions of dollars invested in buildings and macninery as tney now: nave in tne New England States. They can't afford to Bell this machinery for junk, and they can't afford to let their plants go to wreck. They must keep them running even at a small profit until they can dispose of them or find something else which they can make and realizp a profit out of. Some may be concerted event ually into woollen m?ls and silk mills, while the manufacture of lin ens has been suggested for others, but although the chang must come in time it will come gradually and slowly, other industries! taking the place of cotton, so that the New England States may net suffer ma terially after all by the fchange. In the following extract jthe Times Herald gives what it considers the main cause of the decline of the in dustry in New England! "A far mora potent reason for trans ferring this industry to ! the South is found in the u a wise and oppressive 'labor legislation' that ha-j been placed noon the statute books Tof the New Eagland 8tates by the politicians as a sop to the labor vote, jln order to bait the labor vote legislators have as sumed to fix the hours of t labor in the cotton mills and to enact:' other rega lations which not 'only tnake it im possible to manufacture cotton cloths at a profit but are directly opposed to the wishes and interests of those who work in the textile industries. In the Southern 8Utea textile manufacturers are not hampered by laws; that tend to restrict the liberties and opportunities of wage earners. Theyt have not reached theMassachusettr. dea of un dertaking to run the business of pri vate concerns in the interest of politi cal agitators and office seekers. The losa of a great industry to . which New Eoglnd owes much of its wealth and power is a big price to pay for the labor vote for politicians.'! The Post commenta en this and .I calls the Times-Herajd : to task for . .... h .1 ti erroneous views ana inappropii. i aw cnarsexarumK -oi ma lurxir awn of Massachusetts .as tie work of 4; demagogues and politicians, when as a matter of tact they are, according to the Porf.the conception and achieve ment of some of the greatest minds of that State and are to-day its boast and pride. rr. But the Times Herald was proba bly misled by the appeals of some of the mill men for a modification oi the labor laws, which have been made from time to time within the past few years on the ground that the restrictive laws of Massachusetts were acting- to the disadvantage of that State, when her mills., had to compete with Southern mHls which were not hampered by such legisla tion. It based its utterances doubt less ur)on the speeches made in meetings of mill men where this question was discussed and the leg islators warned against ruining the industry of that State by too much meddling between the mills and their operatives. Some of the New England mill men were so much interested in this and so fully impressed with the ad vantages the Southern mills had in not being hampered by restrictive legislation that they indirectly at least, it is charged, endeavored to have such legislation effected in the South, to thus hamper the Southern mill operators and put them on the same plane in this respect as them selves. As the milling business, is I 8till practically in its infancy in the i goutn our legislators Bnouia go slow in patterning after New Eng land Legislatures, or in following the advice of New England mill men. FRANCHISE BUST BE LIMITED When Hawaii was annexed a suf frage provision was adopted practi cally debarring the mass of natives from voting. When a scheme of government was framed for Porto Rico the same course was pursued, and now the Philippine, Commission in its last report says: "The masses of the people are isrnor ant, creduloas and child like, and that under any tovernmeat tne electoral franchises must be much limited, be cause the majority wril not, for a long ume, be capable of rnteJIigentiy txer ClSlDglt" Ignorant,! credulous and childlike, nice stuff to, make American citizens ont of. But that, if this characteri zation be true, was what they bought when they :made that $20,000,000 deal. They may be "ignorant, credu lous and childlike," or "semi-savages," but still they are represented to be Tery anxious to come in and be good Americans if the other fellows who are, according to these reports, few in number didn't keep them so badly scared. And it will take from 60,000 to 65,000 American soldiers for an indefinite period to protect all these "ignorant, crednlous and childlike" people from these few 'conspirators," and then these childlike people will haV9 to be gov erned like "wards of the nation'' "for a long time," because they haven t sense enough to govern themselves. Admiral Dewey declared . they were fifty times ff3 competent for self-government as itia Cubans are. The probabilities are that neither the masses of tne Filipinos nor tne Cubans nor the Porto Ricans are competent for self-government, as we understand it, according to the American idea, but the probabilities also are that there are enough of them competent to establish govern ments suitable to them, better governments, perhaps, under the conditions ,than we could give them, and that "would not require a large standing army to maintain and to preserve the peace. But isn't all this an object lesson, that the Republican statesmen and others who object to restricted suffrage in the South might study with advantage ? This Republican administration and its commissioners are vindicating white supremacy in the South, and doing much to gag the Republican partisans who howl against it.

SB War ren street, New York, f WHICH 13 WORSE! General Kitchener became very wrathy when he learned that Gen. DeWet had shot one of "three agents of a peace committee" who fell into his hands and had the otheT two whipped. We have had only the English version of that and we do not know what reasons Gen. DeWet ntay have had for so dealing with these "agents." He may-have considered them spies caught within his lines, and possibly there may been no Bhooting or whipping. But if DeWet did deal so summarily with those three men, would that be any more cruel or shocking than the course that Gen. Kitchener is pursuing to break the spirit of the Boer fighters when he tries $o con quer them by making cruel war upon their wives and children? The method he is now pursuing is told in the following Pretoria' dispatch, published several days ago: "Boer families and their stock are beine systematically brought in to convenient centres frojn all over the country. They are kept in camps and fed. Those who surrender voluntarily are supplied with full rations, and those whose husbands are still in ine field are provided for on a reduced scale, which is raised when the hus bands surrender to a full allowance. Weylerism in Cuba shocked the civilized world and here we have it adopted in South Africa by the com manding ceneraJ of a country which is proud of its civilization. This being true is it any wonder that the Boer General, who has thus far proven more tnan a matcn ior Kitchener, should shoot or whip men who come to advise the fighters who are following him to surrender to Kitchener and give up their country to the invader? Judged by their acts the impartial world will pronounce Kitchener s war on . -v trr t i i women worse tnan uevveta snoot ing and whipping "peace agents." A pretty factory girl in Oonnec ticut said she didn't know that there were so many silly men in the world until on the announcement that she had inherited $4,000,000 from a rich uncle she received within a few days 500 proposals of marriage.

WHO WANT TO BUILD UP THEIR BODIES WILL FIND THE ONE THING NEEDFUL The body is built up from the food we eat. But before food can be assimilated by the body it must be prepared for assimi lation by the stomach and other organs of digestion and nutri tion. Food does not feed when the stomach is "out of order." The result is, weak muscles and flabby flesh. "Golden Med ical Discovery" heals diseases of the stomach and digestive and nutritive system. It works with Nature to make manly muscle and form firm flesh. In a letter received frrtn A. D. Weller, Esq., of Pensacola. Es cambia Co., Fla. (Box 544), he states : "I have, since receiving your diagnosis of my case, as 1 stomach trouble and liver com plaint, talen eight bottles of the Golden Medical Discovery and most say that I am transformed from a walk ing shadow (as my friends called me) to perfect health."

"Never heard of It." said the prisoner cheerfully, "and I know just as much about my guilt or Innocence as I do about soap. You might try me by a Jury of my peers." "Your peers are too.busy telling fairy tales to bartenders on this muggy morning to come out to help the ends of Justice. The dollar they'd get for Jury service would make them die of heart disease." "A doctor told me I'd never have that." the prisoner said. "I'm not intensely Interested In the state of your health, the Justice said coldly. "I don'tiknow whether you're a tramp, and neither do you. I am In clined to the opinion that you are, but I guess no policeman will arrest you between here and the corner."

Will Selection and Breeding; Increase It In Plants T Que of the marvels of vegetation is the difference in behavior of different plants when subjected to frost No. one can tell why a pea plant will with stand, unharmed, a frost which will cut, down completely a bean plant by its side. But differences even further than this are oftentimes noticed, and tbe ap parent freaks of frost are very com monly puzzling. It frequently hap pens that m & fie of beans or pota toes plants here and there will be left unharmed, while others are killed. Much of this may be due to varying currents of air or conditions of soil moisture, but that does not explain all of the differences because It sometimes appears between two plants standing side by side. There Is evidently an in herent resisting power possessed b; some individuals to a greater extern than by others. Is this a characteristic which can be perpetuated and intensified? Can we by subjecting tender plants to frost, selecting those which escape and con tinuing the process, develop a hardier race? This is one of the questions un der consideration at the Rhode Island experiment station. Early in the spring of 1899 three varieties of beans were planted in a hotbed. Later the sash was removed upon a cold night, sub jecting them to frost Many of the plants perished, others were badly hurt, but survived, and a few escaped with little Injury. The seeds from these most reslstantjndlvlduals were saved, and with thfih the operation was repeated in the spring of 1900. The sash was first removed on the night of May 10, on which night an unusually hard frost occurred, the weather being so cold that ice of con siderable thickness was formed in many places. The weather records In the village near by showed a tempera ture of 28 F. for that morning. Nearly all of the plants lost their leaves, and many were killed outright but a few escaped with almost no Injury. At least one plant stood as though noth ing had happened. This being an un usually hard freeze has given a severe test but only time can tell what the ultimate effect of such selection will be. The behavior of strawberries result ing from the freeze of- May 10 and 11 Is also Interesting. At that time the blossoms were not yet open, but very many of the buds were killed, or, rath er, the pistil was killed. Tbe stamens and other parts of the flower remained unharmed, the buds opening and blooming as usual, with the exception of exhibiting a black spot In the center where the pistils should be. Marshall and William Belt growing side by side exhibit marked differences in behavior, though each has bloomed at about tbe same time, so that this difference can not be the result of the blossoms being further advanced In one case than in the other. All the early blossoms of Marshall were killed, while most of those of William Belt escaped. Nick Ohmer suffered nearly as much as Marshall. Many wild strawberries in the vicinity seemed to escape unhurt though in a few instances blossoms were observed which had been killed. Perhaps a judicious and persJ$tent line of selection and breeding might devel op a strawberry which would be large ly resistant to frost. Fred W. Card, Rhode Island Agricultural Experiment Station.

RELIEVED BY PERUHA OF WASHINGTON, D. C, 4k for those suffering with catarrh. Ido not hesitate to recommend it.! Before I bad used one bottle I noticed a great change in myself, and four bottles cured me entirely. I iwould not be without Pe-ru-na for any consideration. The reason so many people get chron ic catarfch is, the disease gets firmly es tablished before ijlt is recognized. They fool themselves By calling it some other name than its j proper ne catarrh. When people get acute catarrh they call it a cold. If they have acute nasal catarrh it is called coryza. Endemic catarrh they call influenza, "and "epi demio catarrh they name la grippe. When the catarrh reaches the throat it is called tonsilitis, or laryngitis. Catarrh of the bronchial tubes is called bronchitis; catarrh of the lungs con sumption. Anyj internal remedy that will cure catarrh in one location will cure it in any oiiher location. This is why Pe-ru-na has become so justly fam ous in tie cure off catarrhal diseases. It cures catarrh wherever located. Its cures remain. Pe-ru-na does not pal liate; it cures. j Mr. W. B. Steffy, Glouster, writes: "I was afflicted with hereditary catarrh, and grew worse as I grew olderj, until my whole system seemed af fected. After try ing many doctors and diff erentposir tive (?) cures, I had almost given up hope, when was induced try Pe-ru-na. Aff ter trying one Mr. W. B. Steffy, Glouster, O. bottle Kelt a gen eral strengthening of my system and after a few ' months' use of Pe-ru-na I was cured. That was two years ago. I use Pe:rn-na every spring, so as to get my system in good shape for the sum mer." ! For a free book! address Dr. Hartman, Columbus, Ohio. NAVAL STORES MARKETS By Telegraph to the Morning Star.
