Progress of Cotton Manufacture In the
South.

In the Atlanta Constitution we find an
encouraging article concerning the steady
aeyelopment Of the cetton manufacture
ing interest in the south, which is repre-
duced elsewhere. The location and ex-
elusive conduct of the business in one
corner of the country, and the insane
refusal of the cotton section in the past
to use its magnificent opportunities tO
share in the profits of manufacturing,
while growing at those who use then
facilities even at comparative dlsad
vantage, is a thing of the past, on par
with practice of importing from other
states horses to cultivate cotton, and oats
the labor of early summer is spent in
killing grass in the cotton fields.
A few far-seoing men have IabOred
for years to induce the south 10
make yarns and coarse cottons to
the extent of One-third of the crop,
part with another third for the finer
fabrics made in the north, eventual
Iy this distinction may disappear), and
leave only a third instead of more than
two-thirds for foreign consumption. The
largest profits now enjoyed in cotton
manufacturing are realized in the south,
and there is abundant capital north and
south, skilled artisans obtainable for
prompt initiation of the abundant and
needy hon:e-supply of material for eff.
cient and cheap labor. Only the want Of
a proper spirit of enterprise, on the one
hand, and the timidity OF capital, on the
other, prevent. Let such result be at
tained and we shall hear no grumbling
about unremunative prices for cotton,
lack o' employment for labor, or whole
sale purchase abroad of the bulky raw
products of agriculture and the time
would not be long ere the annual pro,
duets Of industry in the south would
reach the value of five dollars for every
one now produced, and heavy exports Of
manufactured cotton would be made to
every country in the world, iucluding
England Nashville American.

Silver Coin Enough.

Assurance is given by DIR. Linderman,
director of the mint, that there need be
no apprehension of a scarcity of silver
coin, as there has been issued but 81,
50O,OO0 under the substitution act,
while the treasury department has on
hand about S14 ,0O0, 900, and the mint
coinage will supply from 81, 100000 to
100000 per month from this time
forth. 1t will be necessary, however,
before the $40. 1000, 900 of silver coin re-
serve can be made available for circula-
tion, that congress authorize its exchange
for legal tenders, these, in turn, to be ex-
changed for fractional currency, and the
latter to be destroyed. A proposition to
this effect has been introduced, and will
probably be adopted. Another plan for
preventinga dearth of small change will
he urged upon congress. 1t is to put
the finishing touches upon a large
quantity of fractional currency which
had been nearly perfected when the
funds of the treasury printing bureau
gave out, and which can be got ready for
circulation at very small expense. II
the fractiOnals are not used, the cost OF
printing, paper, etc, will be a total loss,
and it would be as we'll to finish up the
job and put the scrip in circulation.

4 Bad Year for MiIlIonaIres.

The year begins badly for millionaires,
aud pallid death with equal foot kicks at
the doors of the Fifth avenue and of the
Viennese Opern-ring. Baron Simeon Sina,
one of the richest if not the richest man
in Austria, has just died, leaving for
tune estimated at from thirty-fve 20
forty millions of our money. His father
was a Greek born at Sores, in Mace
donia, who died in 1856 at Vienna, where
he lived for a quarter Of "A century, and
where he made himself one of the half
dozen wealthiest and influential bankers
of the continent. During the Crimean
war Baron Sina's operations were enOrm-
Gus, and gave rise 20 a serious diplomatic
scandal, it having been discovered by tho
British ambassador, Sir Hamilton Sey-
mour, that his secretary, Mr.. Greenville
Murray, was in the habit of selling the
British dispatches to the great Greek
financier.

debt is secured on la nds which he holds by
virtue of his official position, and is really

gland is the largest creditor of Egypt, and,
according to McCavd's statement, the khe-

foreclosure seem good. After that will come

has not been repaired. The United States
direct cable is working, and is now the only

be taken to repair the cable between Nova
Scotia and Newfo midland, and it is hoped
that the interruption of communication with
Hearts Content will not be OF long contln-

RUSSIANS AND GERMANS.
ProbabIe Results In Cn.e Of n European

Probable Results la anHe OF a European
War.
In the event of European war, which
seems imminent now, it will be interest,"
ing to know something about the men
who are at the head of the Russian en-
pire-the great power which will place
in the field the largest army ever known
in the history of warfare. Emperor
Alexander, who has never been strong
man, is growing weaker as he grows
older; and, although he is now but fifty
eight years of age, he has become we'll
nigh senile. The recent reports of his
intended abdicatiOn in his sOn's favor
probably had their origin more in the
wishes of the people than III the desires
of the emperor himself, for absolute SOW
ereignty is not the kind of bauble that
even a weak man would care TO throw
away. Alexander has always been an
intense admirer of his uncle, the Ger
man emperor, and has been more or less
subject to German Influence. All the
best posts in the Russian service are filled
by Germans, even TO the place Of the
commander of the great Russian army of
conquest in the east. which is filed by
one Kaufman. The Russian people
have no fOndness for the Germans, and
this preference for their old-time enemies
fills them with disgust. The cars phys
ical unsoundness is as conspicuous as was
his fathers extraordinary bodily vigOr,
and this fact places him at n disadvan-
tage among 80 hardy race as the Rus
slams. But his son and heir, the caro-
WITT, supplies in his. character, person
and opinions many Of the deficiencies of
his imperial father. He hates the Ger
mans as intensely rs his father loves them,
is intimately associated with the anti
German feeling of the country, and Is
naughty and imperious where his father
is weak and complainant. II is the old
story of an heir-apparent allying himself
with powerful opposition TO gain pop1-
Iarity; and it Is pretty tolerably certain
that the czarowitz i more popular to-day
than the emperor. In the event, there
fore, of a general European war 1T Is not
unlikely that influence would be brought
to bear which will procure the abdica-
ton of Alexander H., and the succession
of the young Nicholas to the throne.
Another convenient fit Of sickness on the
old mans part will settle the matter
without the necessity Of going to the
trouble of poisoning him off, as was done
with another car when considerations
of state demanded hi, removal.
