THE GROWING COTTON CROP. = From
the first of series of carefully-cellected
crop reports. it appears that the area of
land placed under cotton cultivation
averages ten per cent. increase on last
year. In some States the increase is lare-
er. while in other States it is lower, making
the average as above stated. All our
Southern exchanges concur with private
information relative to the generally favor
able condition of the cotton crop and the
weather. So far there is very significant
absence Of complaints on the most tempt
Ing subjects of grumbling in the world
Or course there are still great many con-
unsencies between this and the picking
season. which may neutralze the promis Sc
of the present. The growing cotton crop
may be summarized as doing well and
promising well, but not as yet out of dam
ger. The subject is just now a matter of
great interest on both sides of the Atlantic.

SHIPBUILDISG IN ENGLAND.-From a
statistical report of the social and economic
condition of Glasgow by the City Cham.
berlain. which has lately been printed. il
appears that no fewer than 200 vessels al
most all constructed of iron. and with An
aggregate tonnage of l96. 229, have been
launched on the river between Rutherelen
and Greenoek. The tonnage launched
within these limits during the last nine
years has been l,447 .4s5. or an annual
average of l60.S32. while the amount con-
tracted for at the 3lst of December actu-
ally exceeded 300. 900 tons. The value of
last years work is estimated at nearer five
than four millions sterling, irrespective of
the amount expended on repairs and thus
it would appear that during the last nine
years about thirty millions sterling has
been spent upon shipbuilding on the Clyde
Of the sels in process of construction.
or contracted for, at 2lst of December last.
III were iron steamers. ranging from 800
70 1880 tons burden, nine iron Saline
ships, one a composite steamer, one a
wooden sailing ship. and three iron dredg-
ers. The significance of the above flo
ures will be realized when they are com
pared with the following returns of ship
building of the great north of England
ports. On the Wear there were launched
in 1871. 81 vessels. with an aggregate ton
mage of 7l.9O3: on the Tyne. 81 screw
steamers. ranging from 6l7 to 2.25I tons.
or an aggregate tonnage OF 22,565: and on
the Tees at hartlepool and ON the Humber
SO screw steamers. with an aggregate ton
mage of AZ. 950-lnaking a grand total of
147 ,4le tons of shipping. In addition to
the ships launched. there were in process
of building at the 3lst of December: On
the Wear, 81 screw steamers representing
90, 672 tons on the Tyne. 80 screw steam
ers and paddle steamer, 42,l22 tons: at
Hartlepool, the Tees, and Humber, IS

The Carnival of Crime.

IL Is a curious commentary upon the results of
the sickiy seBtimentalism upon the subject of
capital punishment put forward of late wears.
that the newspapers all over the country are
urging the organization of various agencies
Outside or cooperative with the law officers. to
put up some bar against the carnival of crime"
prevailing. In Chicago a Citizens Committee
OF twenty I've has been appointed to aid the city
authOTitis- in the prompt arrest, speedy trial and
sure punishment OF criminals; laWlessness, rob-
te-y and even muId-r having become alarm
ingiy frequent in that city, and the police and
courts having proved pOseress to stay the evil
At the meeting at which tbs COMMITTEES was
esta5lisLcJ, held an evening or two ago in the
looms Of ne board of trade, at the call of lead
ing meTcl ants, bankers and othsr business men,
the most vigorous enforcement Of the laws and
the most thorough exc cutiOn Of the severest PEN
alties wers Enormously advocated. One speaker
the chairman of the evening, denounced the
opposition 10 capital punishment as "a sickIy
sentim5 ntslty," and claimed that in this he ex-
pressed ne sentiments Of ''the common sense o.
Oh cage" But the most practical remarks of all
judging fro IN the reports of the city press, vera
made by STATE Attorney Reed who lectured the
merchants and business men, the very class who
called the meeting, for so maneuvering as to
Keep clear OF serving on tue iuries, and among
other defects pointed out the absurdity of the
law ~ practically declaring a man who reads
the daily newspapers from serving as Juror
Mr.. Reed said that in one murder case alone he
had been compelled to excuse twenty-six men
simply because they had read a newspaper ac-
count Of the terrible affair. The twenty-five
are empowered to offer rewards, engage counsel
and employ the services OF special detectives
and other agencies, whenever deemed advisable
BY them, and it is expected that the funds for
their work will be furnished by voluntary sub
scriPtions Of the lsw-lOving and law-abidng of
Of the people of the city.
