WILMINGTON, y. a WEDNESDAY. JANUARY 2, 1893. COITON M.1SUPACTUR1KGH,. It is a good sign when it is seen New England manufacturers are pecting in the South and looking1 " favorable sites and investments. understdod that two New England ton companies will erect largo plan1 the South. v .Others will; be sure to low. The South offers extraordinary advantages, and this is beginning understood in New England and I portions of the great orth. Form . two aecaaes we nave Deen urging tho North the wisdom of bringing ' mijls to the cotton. The saving! is . .mense in a year.- The South is 1 ta care of itself. While some Nort men already have capital inves Southern cotton milling the greater :. is owned by men of the South. O . nearly 150 cotton mills alone in . Carolina very few if any arel owne . ; Northern men. There is very ..Northern .capital invested, in c " milling in Nth Carolifla.' - The boutn Tor the: last ten years or i more has made a grand stride in menu facturing its chief staple. In the last four years alone the mills haye incre ased . from 250 to 4(H) or more, and many are now on the way. The capital invf sted has increased from f61,000,b00to : 59 7, 000,000. " It is': almost altogethei the ' work of unaided Southern enterprise. ; Mark thatrTherecently despoiled, , plucked, prostrate, I oveftysm tten t South has done it The New - Tort Herald says: j "The .Herald loncc ago pointed out that the South was destined to bedome a' weat cotton manufacturing centre, and events are rapidly confirming that view." ' . - j.- '. New England has been very slow to learn the- vast ; advantages the Sbuth has over its own section. We recall that only a few years ago writers like Edward Atkinson were trying to prove . the superiority of New England to the South for cotton milling. It was a ' stuDid blunder and kept many a New Englander from large returns. But their eyes are at ' last slowly opening and thev begin to view facts in' the white light of truth. ) . M Vyilmington ought to emulate the ex- . ample of Greenville and Augustial, of Charlotte and Raleigh and start mp a half dozen cotton -mills before 11895 ends. ; - ' SE1N ATOKl Ati TAL.K. Some are figuring . to show- thatl the 1 Pops in our last election polled bit a beggarly 13,500. The figures are thus: in 1 "tha-RpBubliean vote was 134. i 784; in 1894, the fusion vote was 148,-34s-UeavingU3,500 votes to the Butler . gang. If that is correct then the '. lads arelndeed magnanimous if they gi re to Butler the Tbiggest apple in the basket. :f- It is no wonder that Northern Rep a bli . cans and some North Carolina Rad: Tare insisting that both Senators shoulc be of their kind and family. We- do not; Uxslieve that in 1894 the Republicans " polled, more than 195,000 or 10( ,000 r votes. Loge Harris,) a Rad, is the cor i respondent of, the New York Times, S a Democratic newspaper. He wrote (if he was the one) that several Republican United State! Senators, members of the Rnnublican National committee, and other prominent Northern Republicans, have written to the Republican mana gers -in . Noith ; Carolina protesting ;. aganst the election of Butler to the SSen . ; ate on the ground that t 'his vote wiuld 'lose the Republican party the organiza- tion of the Senate when the next Con : . gress assembles." j j- ', Stephen A. Douglas's son Bob wants two Rads, and no doubt Bob would be . very thankful to be one of the ; ' Rut the plum hangs high and chosen. Marion Butler will probably secure it for his .- hungry mouth if he has to stand tip toe on Oiho Wilson's shoulders, to get it. Bob Douglas plausibly but absurdly -writes: "There is every reason i why the ite- pliblicans and Pop'ulists should cd-oier tkie in State matters, but there is no national measure" upon which a Pqpu likt Senator, truly representing jthe rtfinciDles of his party, could co oper ale with a Republican administration." ' The "every reason' is the one reason ihnt without the aid of Democratic i dtserters . the goose: would never! be placked by the rejected Rada. J At home the Rads must have the aid of the unwise'kickers to get &i the Sfiate Vint when it comes to offices in Washington, then the: Radical gorman " lizers want all. We wonder what brive ; Capt. Buck KitctAn thinks ot the little Douglas when he isees him whetting his knife on the Pop grindstone to slay Him onri Skinner and Butler and the other Democratic deserters, j The Rads and . . Pops must work together in harmopy "r the Legislature or they will find the balance of honor in Democratic hanks. The forty four Democrats can be ajwwer for good in, case of a falling but amofag i the conspirators ana ,iusionists. we ' believe that most Democrats would pp 5 fer indigo-blue "fire-tried RadikilsHjin ' the Senate from North Carolina to ren- egades an.d desferlers We give the y HZ ft ns J1iadly fPr a reform public-school South Carolina paper,! tho Charleston itews and Courier, as to the wisdom of the Democrats yoting with the Rac s. jt says towards the cloie of a long e i . torial: . ' ''j ; ' : : If Butlei,shall b elected Senator lie will undoubtedly use all the patronage ' of the office and all his influence :o f strengthen the. Populist party in Norih Caroli na. Is this desijrable?

If they conclude to make a trade with the Populists for the sake of controlling the organizition of the next Senate, they ihould make the best trade possi ble and not throw away a single vote. It will be easier to make 'terms with the Populist; candidates for Senator be fore they are elected than after." The Messenger at this writing sees no reason to doubt that Butler will be elected and by- Radical votes. IGNORANCE CONCERNING I r sou re. i the: There must-be in" the North a vast deal of crass ignorance - and no little dislike of the South judging from re peated opinions in - leading , newspapers "up there." A Boston paper, the Her- aid, severely reflects upon the culture of the! Southern people; This is . a sur vival of the old ignorance" and the -old rot. t looks'upon the South evidently as but partially civilized, and all be cause !it hangs without law the lustfu 'black jbeaste that assault and kill the pure, good white women and helpless children. It contrasts its own "more advanced Civilization" with that of the 1 South perhaps. Shades of Washington and Lee, of Pettigrew and Pender, 'of Jefferson and Jefferson Davis; of Madison -and John Marshall Look at the Senate. Are not the able best en nipped men from the South the full equals of the foremost men of the North;? What ten of the North will sur pass in ability, learning, .eloquence and statesmanship Morgan and Vest, Ran som and Daniel, Coke and Bate, Gordon and Qeorge, Gorman and Harris? AH over the South .there are as able men, as well equipped men, as well cultured men as New England can .start to-day. Among the clergy we do not hesitate to say that there are as great thinkers and schbhlrs and preachers in the South at this hpur, as can be found in the North. We wall put such inen as Bishops Thomp son, ifceener, Wilson. and Drs. Dabney, Palmer and Broadus against the best of New England in all that makes high, noble! thoroughly trained, ver able, broa'd cultivated men. - The Augusta Chronicle noting this"harrow view this unwarranted slander, of the South, has this which we areglad to copy: "Tie Herald goes on:to' say that the regard for human life among the white people of the South is not that which prevails in the more advanced civiliza tion I'jGod save tne mark! On the one hand,! there is much culture in the South as in ny other section of the Union, in Eropojrtion to population. Her citizens ave representf d the American Republic at the iourt of kings, and nave adorned the ( world of . liter iture with imperishable names. In spite of. un congenial conditions brought about by the disasters of the war, tho culture and intelligence found South of the divi ding line will bear comparison with that of aesphetic Boston at whose gates the Borden. family was butchered, and with in whose gates Sodom has come again. This base but baseless slander of South ern refinement has gone far enough. The narrow minded, opinionated men who tat in a cock-loft at the Nor.h and grind ' out editorial evidences of their own limited information concerning the Conditions which prevail in the South,, ought to come down from their perch occasionally, and familiarize themselves with the true , state of af- airs. i i . Those who know New England best and not resident there, . are those who knowjtbat there are not on the globe' a more insulated, narrow, prejudiced folk,' wno are really for people who read so much and boat so loud of the most ig norant. : To tnis day tne Soutn is an . -. i 1 . . . - . i unxnown land to tnem.

HO JAG POtKS, Referring to the care that North Carr olina has taken in preserving records, of heir troops, the Richmond Dispatch re marks; r North Carolina is twenty years ahead bf Virginia in. this matter.".. She has n ok-only collected and printed the complete muster rolls of her commands, out nab puoiisneu, in eieusu, &K.icnes of many of her regiments." North Carolina sent 125,000 of her men into the' war (including many boys who would fight) and it voted but 112, 500 in 1860. It has much cause to be proud pf their record, and it is the part of gratitude, pride and wisdom that the records of their splendid deeds should I be preserved and their memories pr- petuated. "Christian Reid," the " pen name of Miss Fannie Fisher as she was born, has a Pew book just from the press of D. Appleton&Cb.

The publishers say that she "takes her characters from New Orleans to fascinating Mexican cities like Guan ajuato,) Zacatecas, Aguas Calientes, Guadalajara, and, of course, the City of Mexico; What they see and what they do are described in a vivacious style, vhich renders the book most valuable i o those who wish an interesting Mexi can travel-book unencumbered with details, j while the storgas a story sus - tains tle high reputation of this tal ented ajathor." ; i SHaiRPS AND FLATS.

In 1894, although trade was dull and many enterprises at a stand still, there was considerable railroad building. There were 1,919 miles built, and that represents hundreds of millions of .doU lars expended. There was no increase of miles in Vermont, Rhode Island, Connecticut, Delaware, Maryland, Ken tucky, Indian Territory, Iowa, Ne braska, North Dakota, South Dakota, Washington, Nevada and Idaho. Ore gon barely escaped omission by adding two miles, and Massachusetts, New. Hampshire, North Carolina and Vir ginia kept up by building three to seven miles each. There were 153 new roads constructed. Pennsylvania alone built 28 short lines. -Arizona lends all with 193 miles. In 1887, there were 13,000 miles constructed, beating all other years. In 18921, there were 6,200.

Gladstone celebrated his 85th birth day on the 29th December. A great, an honored, an heroic man he deserves the congratulations of the world. . A cable dispatch says: ; - . "Mr. Gladstone was in ' remarkibly good health and spirits, and despite .the stormy weather drove through the village of Hawarden to the church, where he met a deputation of Armenian Christians from Paris and London.- Oa behalf of Mr. Gladstone the deputation presented a silver chalice to the church: The chalice was presented to s Rev. Stephen Gladstone, son of the ex Premier and rector of Hawarden church, in recognition of the interest his father has taken in, theArmenian outrages.'" 1 . ! ; i The grand old man is always trying to do some good.' He received many tt'' . i presents, ne can now. read ten i or twelve hours a day. He spoke with great earnestness and force in reply (to the Armenian address.- He said among other things alluding to the atrocities "If this were true, it was time that there should be one general shout of execration against these deeds of wick edness from outraged humanity. If the facts were established it should be written in letters of iron upon the re cords of the world that a Government which could be guilty of countenancing and covering up such atrocities was a disgrace to Mahomet, the prophet, a disgrace to civilizHtion at large, and a disgrace to mankind. Mr. Gladstone, continueing, said: "Don't let me be told thU one na tion has no authority over another. Every nation, aye, every human be ing," has authority in behalf of hu manity." ; ; :. - ,' . y ' , ; . When the noble Christian statesman and the world's greatest orator falls on sleep who can take his place? It is said he got off unconsciously a nice little joke on the critics. A magazine article has been" severely criticised j as new or praised by some. It was upon "The Evangelical Movement. f Its Parentage, Progress and Issue." He is yery much amused at the praise or censure it being" treated as a fresh pro duction, where as it appeared fifteen years ago in a defunct magazine. Long live the great Gladstone! , FIGHTING 1HK INCOME TAX. .. '. The rich men combine to raise funds to fight the income tax. They die hard.

Moore ; of New York, much millionaire of course, is the representative of the ' Plutocrats in the attack on the righteous income tax. A suit is brought and it will be tested in the Supreme Court of the Uni ted States.

It will be so altered by future Congresses as tp make it con form more closely to the demands of justice, but it will not be abolished.
