Ex-Governor Bout well, of Massa chusetts, who with Senator Hoar, Senator Edmunds and some other distinguished New Englanders has from the very first been opposed to the policy of expansion, delivered an address in Boston recently to an audience of working men, pointing out to them some of the prospective dangers to them of this expansion. The result, he said, would be even tual free trade between this country and those island acquisitions, when the New England laborer would find himself confronted by cheap Asiatic labor under his own flag. He drew a gloomy picture of the future of the New England workman, which would be incomparably more gloomy when contending with this "yellow peril." We have not seen the speech, but find the substance of it in an edito rial in the Washington Post, which we clip because they are the views of a leading New Englander, and because they refer especially to the South. It says: "Mr. Boutwell's review of the in dustrial situation in New England is interesting though somewhat loo p thetic to be enjoyable . He states that New England's deposits of silver, iron, and coal are of no value, and that its resources in agriculture, in commerce, interstate and foreign, in the fisheries, in wood, timber, granite, and marble are equal only to the support of a third part of the present population. He sbowa how, one after another, the in dustries of that section, such as the bret dmg of horses and cattle for sale, the cultivation of hops, corn, and wheat, the ouilding of locomotives, with all the heavier products of iron, have gone into other 8tates. And simultaneously he says the tanning in dustry, the manufacture of agricultu ral implements, of household furnish ings of wood, passed wholly, or in a large degree, into other hands. To these appreciable losses and as of sig nal importance, be adds the loss of a considerable part of the industry in shoes and leather, which for a time was almost a monopoly in New Eng . and. "For these lcsies, says Mr. Bout well, compensation has been made by the manufac ure of metal products of light wtight and- by the immense en largement of textile fabrics. And now these manufactures are now in peril, and for their loss who can sug gest an adequate compensation !' Tae most interesting feature of this really remarkable address is its graphic oortrayal of the effects 6f emancipation upon the industrial de velopment of the 8outh. He says the South has millions of unused horse power in its mountain streams, it has resources of natural wealth in its de posits of iron, coal and oil, and in its economy of labor it erjjys a nevei caasiag advantage in the mildness of its climate. '-The capacity of the South for pro gress, he says, may be realizeed in the fact that the-production of cotton has risen from 4,000,000 bales of 400 pounds each in the days of slavery to more than 11,000,000 bales of 500 pounds each in the days of freedom. And in this connection the venerable statesman recalls the fact that in De cember, 1861, in a speech that he de livered inTremont Temple, he predict ed an increase of 100 per cent, in the crop of ootton after a few years of freedom in the South. The roeech, be says, was printed in the Boston Journal. Tne remarkable ;thing about that is that it occurred some nine months before the emancipation proclamation and while President Lincoln was not averse to saving the Union with sla very intact, t "Sir Boutwlll tells the workingmen of New England that the industries of their section or such of them as the fates have spared are disturbed by the competition in Alabama, Georgia, and the Carolinas, and the manfac . facturers of New- Eogland are eracting mills in those States whose products will enter the markets of the world in comnetition with the pro duct of the mills of Fall Biver, Low ell, Lawrence and Manchester. He says truly that New England cannot avoid a period of active competition with the South in the manufacture of fabrics on which the prosperity of New England chiefly depends. The com petition, he submits, will be serious, nd during the trial period the indus tries of New Eogland will be depress ed, and during tbat period, he declares "new perils in business ought not to be accepted voluntarily." The "new perils" are located in the Orient in the long since accomplished and unalter able fact of expansion. Mr. Boutweli declares that "not much time can elapse before a policy of entire free dom of trade will be established be tween our insular possessions and the States of the Union. Mr. Boutwell's warning as to the danger of competition from these new acquisitions is already begin ning to be realized, for do we not hear the sugar makers and growers,' and the Connecticut tobacco growers and the Florida and California fruit growers protesting against tariff concessions to those islands and de claring that this would ruin their industries? The growers of those things find themselves confronted by the growers of those things in the islands, and therefore insist that they shall be, 'as far as the tariff goes, treated as foreign "territory. The competition which Mr. Bout well forgoes and fears is coming sooner than he anticipated although not directly striking the class of people whom he had then in view. But as far as the New England wage earner is concerned is there anything to justify that: warning? Have we not already had resolutions passed by the Manila Chamber ol Commerce protesting against, the re-enactment of the Chinese exclu sion act. Why? Because they want Chinese in the f Philippines. Why do they want them? Because they want their labor and their labor is cheaper than American labor or any other whit) labor. . We are told that the Philippines will produce cotton in aburidanoe, and if so how long will it be before, under American rule, ootton facto- - 1 lm - - - - r- : : : , , .. . j- . . - , - ii- nif if-nnm i ries will be springing tip in those islands and before they will be sup plying the Chinese j markets with cheaper goods than Jlhe New Eng land or the Southern mills will be able to supply them? With this cheap native and imported Chinese labor they can 'afford to do that and then where will be the great market in the orient for the, American cot ton manufacturer ? The American may reap some of the benefit of it, but it will be the American in the Philippines. Bat so will the Euro pean establish mills j in the Philip Dines and he, too,! will reap the benefit of it, to the detriment of the American manufacturers on this side of the ocean, There is a cotton mill now in Ma nila which has been: operation for a good many years, where native operatives are employed. There are about 400 in this mill. They are said to be fair workers, reason ably skilful, like the work and earn on an average about six cents a day. Can the mills in New England or the South compete j with that? Of course not, nor can they with the mills which will be established in the future, where peace and law and order prevail, and when Americans and Europeans can take hold of and establish Buch industries as there may be an opening for in the islands, and these Americans and Europeans will have the advantage of that cheap native and Chinese labor, and the further advantage of being so much closer to the Chinese market. As there is ground for Mr. Bout well's warning, so is there founda tion as to his predictions of the effect the Southern emancipation will have on the remaining great in dustry of New England, and this looks like retribution,' for if New England agitators had left the South alone and not agitated against slavery and for the , war which re sulted in emanciapation the South would still be a cotton producing and not a manufacturing section and New England's cotton manufac taring industry would be in no dan ger. They are simply paying the penalty for meddling with the South, and for starting and keeping up an agitation which resulted in a war and emancipation that will yet be the undoing of New England. IHVITISG CUBA. The resolution introduced by Rep resentative -Newlands, of Nevada, in the House of Representatives, Wednesday, inviting the Republic of Cuba to become a part of the United States first as a Territory and then as a State is a new de parture on that line, but is some what indicative of the growth of the annexation sentiment in Washing ton. It is also a recognition of the growth of the annexation sentiment in Cuba. j Of course it can't be responded to by Cuba until Cuba becomes a Re public, with her independence ac knowledged by this Government, a government of her own established, and no more U. S. troops on the island. When this will be remains to be seen. j With the Piatt amendment as a part of her constitution it is rather straining the word! to call Cuba a Republic, and with that amendment, if for no other reason, annexation would be the thing that Cuba should desire. The Cubans might ask if the island became a Territory when or whether it might; ever become a State, and if a Territory the same rule might apply to it as to our other island acquisitions, j according to the decisions of the Supreme Court. This would leave Cuba liable to special tariff taxation and not much better off than , she is now, but if there were any assurance of fair play or free trade, such as exists between our other "Territories" and the States, annexation would be Cuba's gain, leaving eventual statehood out of the question, for that would settle the trade relations and encourage the investment of capital in. the island, and a development of re sources that would j make it one of the richest sections on tbe globe. It would be a guarantee of peace and order and progress all along the line. Cuba should accept the invitation. A fellow in St. Louis started ont with an old nickel and made $2, 000 out of it. He offered it as fare on a street car, the condnctor re fused to take it, and put him off. He sued the company for 12,000 damages and got a verdict for tbe full amount, the court holding that a smooth nickel was as good as any nickel, and that the company was bound to take it.; On that ruling smooth nickels will have a smooth track in that town! Miss Nellie White, of Wflkes- barre, Pa., challenged Joe Seigler to a hugging -bout to test which could hug the hardest. When thev got through she had some dislocated ribs and she sued him for $100 damages. As he had fan enough without going to court he compro mised by footing the doctors bill and the costs of the court proceed ings as far as they had gone.

T?inVlf. tiavinc iaueu wko hub wyuuu- . can Congressional caucus i to en- j dorse his scheme to reduce rep- j reservation from the Southern States, whicli have adopted qualified suffrage, Mr. Crumpacker explains that the legislation he proposes is not a "force bill." No, it isn't a "force bill." ) It is a good deal bet ter than a "force bill" for his side, because it would weaken the Demo cratic strength in the House of Rep resentatives and electoral college, and proportionately increase Repub lican strength m both, on the as sumption that the Republicans can hold the States they have now.1 It weuld make muoh stronger their chances of retaining a majority In the House of Represenatives and of electing Republican Presidents. That would be a good deal better than a "force bill," for their experi ments with "force bills" have not panned out to their satisfaction. In explaining the beneficial effect of such a measure he says: "Dis franchising States would snffer a reduction of political power which they could regain by educating their citizens and admitting them to the privilege of the ballot." Why, bless his soul, isn't that precisely what the Southern States which have qualified suffrage are doing; stimu lating education? There is not a single one of them that by its suf frage laws permanently disfranchises any one who is not otherwise dis qualified for crime or other cause, and not one of them which denies the ballot to any citizen who com plies with the suffrage requirements. The States are doing all they can to help them qualify themselves by establishing schools for both white and black, and in this State, at least, the people, and especially the blacks, are showing commendable interest in qualifying themselves, and we are told that the schools are better attended than ever before. The very object that Mr. Cram- packer professes to desire is being accomplished withont any stimulus or assistance from him cr others who under this hypocritical pretence are! trying to reduce Southern represen tation, not because it is Southern but because it is Democratic. The Artists' Guild, of St. Louis has discovered the- most beautiful woman now living in the Louisiana purchase territory. She is a Miss Yeager, a native of Kentucky, but now a resident of Monticello, Mo. She is a blond, 5 feet 4 inches in height, weighs 118 pounds and rides a horse like a captain. With this send-off Miss Yeager stands a pretty good chance of getting her picture in the Missouri papers. CURRENT COMMENT.

They have discussed the matter and agreed that they will have the road, in one way or another, without fail, and they are thoroughly in earnest. Ooe plan is to build a railroad from Btatesviile through North Iredell to Elkin or Wilkes boro. Another is to run a line from Cooleemee, Davie county, via Countv Line. Harmony and W illiams burg to E.kin or Wades boro. Ooe or the other of these routes win ne adopted and the project, the North Iredell folks ray. will be pushed to completion.

Why does salt'bntter keep better than fresh butter? j We must first real ize that the bacterial population of a moderate sized pat of butter may be reckoned by millions, that a tiny lamp only large enough to go into a thimble has' been known to be tenanted by nearly 48.000,000, that, in fact, in con suming a slice of bread and butter you may unconsciously be assimilating In dividual lives exceeding In number those of the whole of Europe. Thus the urgency for keeping these hordes In check and hence the efforts which are made, first, to set tap effectual barriers to their Ingress by taking proper pre cautions in the production of milk and, second. In the conduct of the processes Involved in the manufacture and distri-. button of tbe finished article. Included in these processes is the ad dition of salt in such quantities as to Justify the butter being known as salt butter, this addition being' made with the object of extending-the keeping powers of the butter or, In other words, to suppress to a large extent the activi ties of the butter i bacteria. .That salt does act In this manner Is shown by the fact that In butter thus treated a very large reduction In the number of micro-organisms present is effected. There can be little doubt, therefore, that the common butter microbes do not by any means regard salt as their elixir of life. j In England boraclc acid Is said to be extensively used In butter as a preserv ative or antiseptic agent, while In the United States a recent public health document states that none was report ed to have been found in the samples of butter examined. This Is probably due to tbe fact that In America there exists, a" strong' prejudice In favor of salt butter, whereas In England tbe use of salt butter Is the exception and not the rule. Hence; In America salt can be used as a preservative instead of tbe boraclc acid employed for that purpose in England. The densely populated condition of butter above referred to is not to be wondered at if we realize tbat the raw material in the shape of milk may con tain from 500.000 to as many as 169, 000.000 of bacteria In a few drops.

The connection between the microbe and tbe street car' strap has frequently been discussed and at least one recent instance has proved somewhat distress lngly that danger Is likely to lurk in tbe piece of leather which helps to support so many women during the rush hours of the day. It was to protect a fresh pair of white gloves that a New York woman, compelled to stand, held her handkerchief Inside the strap while go ing to the theater. On her way home she was again compelled to stand, and once more tbe handkerchief came be tween her glove and the leather. Whether It was after that or during the evening at the theater that 'she once thoughtlessly put the handker chief to her face Is a detail that she does not recall, bnt two days afterward a pain on her Up became so Intolerable tbat she was compelled to see a doctor. wbo found her suffering from Incipient blood poisoning, which It was already too late for him to prevent. Tbe most that he could do was to watch her care fully through a long attack of Illness, which at one time threatened to end fatally. ! He attributed this to some poisonous substance which j had passed to her handkerchief from the strap, and that was his diagnosis the moment be heard tbe story of the ride on the cable car. She fortunately recovered, and her pbyJ slclan thinks that the present disfigure ment to her face which resulted from; the necessity of an operation will not be permanent The case has convinced this physician, wbo is a man of consid erable experience In surgery, of the dangers tbat lurk In the street car strap.

The nottnn market opeotd steady with prices two to lour points nigner, and for the rest or tne session woraed tteadily up ward on active buvinir for hnth ac counts, led by strong bull interests and a oaaiy ingntenea snort contingent! The latter made seimtlv anv Bitmnf to defend their position after a brief resistance on tne can, and grew more uneasy at every rise of a point. Futures in Liverpool were up one to ln points ana spot cotton was up l-32d, whereas no cbanse was looked for by the local trade. Mat. Chester stated that export trade in goods was at full tide and tbat home consumn- t'on was all that could ha Hniml Tne contingent, too, reported excel lent traae cooaitions in manufactured goods. Next in order after the cables were receipts. The ports gave promise once more of falling short of those for the same day last year. .

No fault could be found with the weather and-this led tn tha Kalir that after all the small MMinta m due more to actual scarcity of supplies man to ine sieet ana rstn stoini of last week.
