COTTON MILL MUSIC.
Mills! Mills! More mills! Cotton
mills! More cotton mills! This Is the
cry of the south. Texas is a little be-
lunU tbs birues on this cry but she is
not running a deaf and dumb asylum
either. There Is a decided pricking up
at the ears of the people of this state
on cotton mill construction and some of
these days there will be a dive for the
old stocking anti the gold dollars will
come out to buy stock in good cotton
mill plants. The experiment has long
since passed its early stage and is now
to be accepted as demonstrating Its
nu-.-.-is. In the Carolinas the returns
have been beyond all expectations. A
premium that fate puts upon the public
spirit and enterprise of those states.
The advance in cotton goods comes just
in time to give those early southern
makers the advantage of a superior
market. There is another indication
of these mills being up to date and that
is in the manner in which they reim-1
burse their labor. Dividends In addi-
tion to the targe rise in wages are
being paid in some instances the oper-
ators setting aside a percentage of the
dividends t > U* divided among tfheir op-
eratives. This is something that Is
out of the common and will make those
laborers solid wtfr the mill owners.
When it becomes necessary to drop
wages with changed conditions of the
cotton market as is not improbable
will these factory operatives be relady
to meet the decline and accept It ns
heartily as the owners now do the ad-
vance and grant that? Tims is to be
seen when the change comes. In the
mean time is is worth mud) to those In
Texas who are contemplating putting
in cotton plants to know that the plants
already established in the south are
in condition to treat labor so generous-
ly. The sharing of these profits by
labor will if labor property appreci-
ates the courtesy and reciprocates It
make the rotation between the mil!
owners and their employes a very
pleasant one. There is no reason why
it sdiould not be and on the threshold
of this industrial awakening in the
south it is pleasant to record this
movement of capital to recognize to its
full extent the right of labor to share
in its profits. *
APPROVAL IS COMING SURE.
Itoesldent McKinley is sustained in
his rMHpplne policy by the people at
every turn of the road. He finds only
commendation and 'approval by those
who have made the study of the Philip-
pine Islands on the ground a matter of
Intelligent business. Bishop Potter
nnd President Scfhurman of the old
commission are two men who went to
Manila and to their study of the Phil-
ipnflnes intensely prejudiced against
the conrtiiMion of the administration nt
Washington. They thought that the
Filipinos had not been treated with due
consideration and demnnded more at
the hands of the American government
.than they were reodlvlng. They re-
rurned from the Islands after weeks of
the closest investigation completely
converted to the vieHvs of the American
caWnet and strongly inclined to insist
that it should not 'be modified on the
side of leniency. This change of base
is particularly noticeable on the part
of Bishop Potter who was a more in-
dependent observer titan President
Schurman. Potter went there inde-
pendent of the government to look ov-
er the religious conditions there prevail-
ing and under the Impression that the
protestants In the islands were not suf-
ficiently considered. Whatever bis
views on that matter are now are not
so prominently given expression to as
Inis declarations concerning the utter
unfitness of the Filipinos to be en-
trusted with their own direction. Bish-
op Potter is openly In favor of our tak-
ing in these islands and administering
their government as the only way of
helping them out of their (Usabilities.
So it is all around the board. All In-
telligent opinion drifts that way ns
soon as this question is intelUgenty con-
sidered. Prejudice alone remains to
condemn what it has not studied. This
is all that remains now oil this conti-
nent and among the American people
to antagonize the policy In the Philip-
pines or If there is more It is charge-
able to political antagonisms. Out of
it all must come approval of the gov-
ernment When the November elec-
tions are over nnd the present policy
approved at the polls ns it will be there
will tie soon no more heard of the un-
wisdom of our course in those islands.
There are thousands of Republicans
who would like to see a different party
action but the party is so much bet-
ter than the Democrats they must sus-
tain it
It is unfortunately true that a sur-
plus engenders extravagance but that
is better than a deficit and its accom-
panying parsimony. Take your choice.
Senatorial courtesy is a fine thing
but it does not necessitate the seating
of Quay in opposition to the wishes
of his state. Let that out.
The preachers are the men who of
all classes are most responsible for the
manner in which the name of "Jesus”
is being bandied about at present.
There is no use in attempting to de-
fend the contortions of Texas Repub-
licans but the party at large has put
up a record that needs no defense.
The Danish cabinet is playing a
game but what it is is not sufficiently
developed to make it plain. What-
ever it is United States is equal to
meeting it.
The apron of the olden time with a
few added frills and tucks has come in-
to vogue again and is a dainty addition
to the home robing. It always did
look cute.
Mexico is coming to her senses as to
that free zone nuisance and will very
likely abolish it soon. The commis-
sioner appointed to report favors abol-
ishing it
Those British officers who want a
lark will hardly try and take it out in
a private hunt after stray Boers. The
lesson taught their companions will
suffice.
Great Britain is up one day and down
the other but she is staying longer on
the upper end of the teeter board this
time than usual. She cannot help
that.
United States is going to pay more
attention to her trade relations in the
future and will make scientific Investi-
gations into the trade conditions
abroad.
So far as the war with
Spain is concerned the Demo-
crats forced the Republicans
over the line and it is too late now
to talk of what that war cost the
country.
The woman who is not playing It
square with her husband is a fool to In-
trust her letters to the mails. They
are almost certain to be intercepted
and play smash.
Movement is on foot for a regulation
by Congress retiring civil service ser-
vants upon their attaining a certain
age after having been in service the
requisite years.
Cape Nome seems to be the mecca
of the northern gold hunters hopes and
travels. It Is predicted that >10000-
000 will be taken out there next sea-
son. •
Cape Nome Is far away but it is more
accessible than some of the Alaskan
fields that are nearer in. The voyage
can be made in two weeks from the Pa-
cific coast.
One peculiarity about the criticisms
on the Philippines is that the men who
know the least about the islands
have the most to say concerning them.
Schurman and Potter canupt tell it
today as to the Philippines to compare
with some critics who never <£re
within 4000 miles of the islands. Such
is critics.
The real sum of gold in the treasury
is $250000000 but when mentioned the
>150000000 set apart by law for note
redemption is usually left out.
Leaving out the >150000000 of gold
for note redemption there is left as
much gold in the treasury now as there
was in Cleveland’s time. Good finan-
ciering.
Wheeler says that the Filipinos as a
rule are peaceably inclined and like
the Americans. A condition that will
soon become more apparent when the
election is over.
Goebelism is a greater crime than the
murder of Goebel was and no one con-
dones that or excuses it. Put the
greater sentence on the greater crim-
inality.
The Aguinaldo Home Guard
cut a sorry figure when they
were put through their paces
by that loyal Filipino drill mas-
ter lately making the grand rounds of
New England.
St. Louis will find Congress not unin-
clined to listen to her prayer for >5-
000000 aid in behalf of her centennial
Congress is a little slow that is all.
Missouri Is considering the wisdom
of putting permanent buildings on her
Sedalia grounds' where the state fair
is established. She is considering
plans.
Democracy is uneasy at the position
taken by Bryan in Nebraska and the
uneasiness may lead to quite unpleas-
ant consequences in the national con-
vention.
If Carnegie can make >20000000 a
year profit on armor plate then Uncle
Sam had better own his own plant or
secure a contract at lower prices.
Prosperity hits Bryan much as an
earthquake unheaval hits the fellow
who has tarried too long in close prox-
imity to the little brown jug.
Ada Rehan is coming to give New
Orleans the benefit of her dramatic tal-
ents early in April and preparations are
being made to give her a rousing re-
ception. »
Chadwlc of the cruiser New York
during the Spanish war files for himself
oflicers and crew his claims to prize
money for three steamers captured and
other vessels.
If the immense blanket sheets that
make the life of newspaper readers
burdensome were reduced to decent
size the price of paper might take a
tumble.
The first duty of the opposition on
taking the stand is to declaim against
the possibility of the Republicans car-
rying the country. If so why declaim
over it. Keep still and be glad.
The steering committees in Congress
too often demonstrate that their own
steering apparatus is out of order. Bet-
ter regulate a little by public opinion.
The man who is opposed to
the gold standard of money is not
going to be elected president.
This is a plain prophesy. Cut it out and
paste it in your hat.
lowa is not pleased with the acts of
some of her members in the National
Congress but she is not going back
on the Republican party on that ac-
count.
It was not a Scotsman who hinted
th'alt the sons of the heather were get-
ting jealous of the shamrock and
thought that the thistle wmild be left
unnoticed. The Scotch are too sturdy
for that. They believe tai the natural
and divine betterness of all things thnt
come frae Scotland. Not the men who
deny that the Camerons survived the
deluge In the ark tiecause all the Cam-
erons have had boats of their own are
going to confess that flhe thistle is like-
ly to lose its place at the demand of
the shamrock.
That brilliant Democrat who sugges-
ted that the Republican party had
made a mess of Its contention that the
constitution did not follow the flag and
cited the District of Columbia as being
then without the pale of the United
States is respectfully requested to
state in what respect the District of
Columbia is represented in the govern-
ment of the country. The District of
Columbia is a possession of the United
States for which the Congress of this
nation makes laws and the District
people are not consulted as to the laws
that govern them.
Senator Quay’ is not elected to his
seat in the Senate which his state Leg-
islature dt'clared that) he should no
longer fill. When Ihe is that act will
serve notice on the country that the
time has come to change the manner
in which senators are elected. There is
nothing else in sight but this now.
There are no doubt some highly scent-
ed budgets that pass through the Unit-
ed States mull but the department
draws the line at skunk skins. There
are meaner things than the skin of
a skunk that get through the malls but
the postal authorities do not get onto
them. The spirit of a skunk is worse
than f i hide and there is a good deal
of this essence of skunk that slips
through and is made public matter.
Home cotton mills In Texas are being
(‘uiMtnu'ted. Others ure going to tie.
If ten jaw cent of those tliat are being
talked of are constructed there will be
a fairly busy season of mill building
this year. It is fo be hoped that n
Oity like Han Antonio Is not going to
let Ilie year slip tiirough the meshes of
the months witthout rearing the walls
of a factory will give employnu'nt
to hundreds of operatives.
There is a good deal of 'talk of the
overdone proftwsions but it is the un-
derdone men in these professions that
cause this talk. Good mon in all tiie
professions can gut along and make
their way. And tills Is as true of the
farm ami the railway siliop and the
machine .works as it is of the law and
the pulpit and the other so-called learn-
ed professions. Treachers are starv-
ing because they are poor preadheis.
A demand for thoroughness is the cry-
ing demand of tills present. The
til erough man gets there always.
Japan has some good ships in her
navy and her jieople are learning how
to handle them from flic best musters
in the world. Russia will find she has
it not all her own- Way if she jumps
on Jkpan at sea. It Is growing almost
certain however that tltere will be no
general clashing of the powers of east
and west tills century. Walt until
that African war is ended and it'he art-
justmenits made and then see What.
Louisville is in the swim dead easy
and to stay. She gives an order for
a lot of bullet proof election booths for
use in the coming eieftions. She is go-
ing to run thnt Goebel law of hers if
it kills a whole graveyard full of vic-
tims. The United States will pass
upon the Federal election in that state
hpld under that damnation in rhe name
of laiw and it will be knocked out of
the box In the first round.

The Sappho business is run into the
ground. Decency is a virtue. Pro-
priety is necessary. A proper regard
to the prejudices of society even is not
out of place but there Is too much
prudery abroad in this country posing
as modesty. Natural things are made
to appear unnatural and are distorted
to vile uses contrary to their legiti-
mate and constitutional leanings. The
would-lie leaders of living and the cen-
sors of morals are not lutppy in the
things that they denounce. Grdat
wisdom is needed in dealing with these
measures. This licensing of the sins
we are inclined to and damning those
we have no mind to is all the rage.
A good healthy attention to one’s own
business covers a multitude of sins.
Never in its history did the Republi-
cans Une up more solidly behind the
policy of its leader in the presidential
chair than it is now lining up behind
the expressed policy of the present
president of the nation. The disagree-
mentts of the party are over the at-
tempts in Congress to run counter to
the wish of President McKinley in the
adjustments of our island relations.
When the delegates of the party meet
in National convei»tion there will be
such an endorsement of President Mc-
Kinley as Ims greeted none of his
prerleccssors since the days of Lincoln
and Grant. Tlrts enthusiasm of the
convention will fire the heart of the
country and the election will be a glo-
rious triumph.

Rudyard Kipling. speaking in the
April "Success” of his earliest effort in
authorship—"Departmental Ditties”
says:—
"I loved it best when it was a little
brown baby with a pink string around
its stomach; a child's child ignorant
that it was afflicted with all the most
modern ailments; and before people
had learned beyond doubt how Its
author lay awake of nights in India
plotting and scheming to write some-
thing that would ‘take’ with the Eng-
lish speaking people.”

sider One Minute Cough Cure a most

is the only harmless remedy that gives
Immediate results. It cures coughs
colds croup bronchitis grippe whoop-

vents consumption. Children always
