SENATOR HILL
Expresses His Views on the Preliminary
Skirmishes in Indiana and Ohio.

Atlanta Constitution: We print below
an interview with Hon. Benjamin III. Hill (:
"Are you not surprised at the results OF
the late elections in Ohio and Indihna ??
Il am not 4t ell surprised. l have been
in New York for three weeks, calmly, close
ly and dispassonately studying the political
situation. Ten days ago wrote to friend:
privately, and announced my apprehension
of the results now known"
"Do you think these Republican successes
assure the election of Garfield"
"By no means-by no means. 1t will be
a great mistake for our people to think so,
and allow themselves to become discouraged
Indeed, the worst effect of these election:
will be this feeling of encouragement. The
Republicans will press this effect with great
skill, and Democrats who yield to it will
be doing effective service for Garfield
Some of the causes which have wrought Re-
publican success in the State elections will
not even exist in the general election in
November. Others will be less potential
and still other causes which aided the Re
publicans yesterday will aid the Democrats
in November.
"Will you be kind enough to state the
causes to which you allude?"
81 prefer not to do 50 now for the public
There are good reasons why l should not do
so. That nly views are correct is manifest
from the TACT tnat preQASLeQ THESE results
in writing ten days ago. I hope our people
will not be discouraged. We must increase
rather than relax our efforts. We can wiz
in November if we will, and if We fail it will
be our own fault"

elected without Ohio and Indiana 2"

Miss Susan B. Anthony has come from
her home in the City Of Rochester, New
York, to aid her friend and coIaborer, Mr.
Eiizabeth Cddy Stanton, in preparing fol
the press the first volume of their history oil

and that was followed up by a telegram
| from Reading, Pa, requesting Mrs. Stanton
to address woman suffrage meeting in that
city TO morrow evening. Mrs. Stanton tel
egraphed that she could not comply, but
that Miss A0thony would be her substitute,
and the wires flashed back a summons for
the younger of the two veterans in the
cause. ThereupOn Miss Anthony packed up
and was off in yesterday mornings train.

surround Mrs. Stanton's cottage and de-
manded her presence at d meeting in New
burg New York. She had to decline
Mrs Stanton and Miss Anthony busted
themselves for some hours on Friday with
their circular letter to the voters of Kansas.
Ii was sealed late in the evening and mailed
yesterday morning. They wrote it in com
pEauce with a request from Democrats in
Kansas, who said;
eve are in a hopeless minority, and have
not yet in the whole history of our State,
been able to elect a State officer. We have
nominated for State Superintendent of Pub
lie Instruction Il woman you well know,
Miss Sarah A. Brown, a veteran in the
movement for suffrage for your sex, long a
teacher here, and for many years County
Superintendent of Schools native of
Massachusetts, Republican and a prohi-
bitionist. With Republican assistance we
can elect her"
"The circular letter we have mailed to
be printed in Kansas" Mrs. Stanton said,
points out the fact that Miss Brown is the
only woman ever nominated for a State
office in the United States; that she has
been nominated by the Democrats, and that
the Democratic candidate doesn't either
smoke or chew or drink or swear that she
is an experienced teacher and is thereby
commended to parents who desire to rear
their children well, and that as she is Re
publican, although nominated by Demo-
Gratis, she is entitled to the vote of Republi-
cans"
In reply to a question as to the probable
titles Mrs. Stanton said:
"Women have always voted on schools
and license in Kansas, and when, in 1867,
it vas proposed so to amend the Ccnstitu-
ton as to give my sex an unrestricted bal
lot, 5000 votes were cast for the amendment.
As women may vote for her it is safe to pre-
dict her election-the only Democratic
candidate for a State office ever elected in
Kansas. The Republican candidate is a
man."

"The joint committee, to whom w~s re
ferred the subject of deaconesses and sis

Woman Workers,

The Massachusetts Industrial Census
has brought to light some interesting
facts about women who work ia that
State, where there arc nearly 10000
more women than men. Over half a
million women in Massachusetts, earn
their own living and help to support
others 10, 295 are in professions. OF
these, 9, 531 are school and music teach
ers and musicians, 1856 are authors
and literary persons" while there are
1914 women doctors 30 900 work in fac
tories, cotton, wooden, linen, carpet and
paper mills, etc. There are over24 600
sowing women and milliners Compared
with 1860, women's wages in all kinds of
work has increased. Managers of dress
making establishments average S12. 10
per week; women under them 81. II
per week. Milliners get from 81 to $40
per week. Some 700 women are EN-
ployed in the printing industry mostly
as c0mpositors, and perform work for
81 to $11 per week that men ask and
receive $40 to S25 per week for doing.
They are in all the governments depart
ments, city, state and national, even to
the police and paying and lighting de-
partments. Not many Of them are in
business for themselves, however. They
work for wages; 405 of them are book
keepers, 81 are engaged in the manu-
facture Gf machinery, and % work at
glass-making. There are ten florists.

New Ecrk and the Tariff.
Gov. Seymour

Gov. SEYMOUR
The tariff question in this State, the
great commercial center, is likely TO prove
more disastrous to the Republicans than
the Democrats. Many of the leading man.
ufacturers find that so many schemes have
been hitched on the tariff that it hurts
more than it helps them. Manufacturing
interests have had loaded upon them so
many projects which tax the people and tax
them THAT they feel that it is better for
them to cope with foreign competition with
less taxation than with more. What our
manufacturers need now, more than all
other things, is the restoration of our
mercantile and shipping interests, which
will search out markets tor them in all
parts of the world. 1t is tacitly conceded
that the continuance of the Republican
party in power means the virtual abandon
ment of American commerce and the de.
struction of Am erican mercantile agencies
and interests.

Hancock Reliant.

A New York dispatch says: The news
that the Republicans had carried the State
elections in Ohio and Indiana did not dis
hearten Gen. Hancock in the least. He was
in good spirits yesterday, and entertained
his visitors with that frank cordiality which
is one of his most prominent characteristics.
When asked for an expression of his opinion
in regard to the Ohio election, he said that
he was not disappointed, as he had anticipa
tedthe result Speaking of Indiana he fur
Their said that he hopedto get some dispatch
es from his friends in thai State. He did
not think the Republicans had a right to
claim such large majority in that State as
had been presented in the Rgures telegraph
ed Gen. Hancock thought that the Re-
publican victory in the State election in In
diana was no good reason for believing that
State would go Republican i'll the Presiden-
tiai election There were local issues at stake
in Indiana which would have no effect in
national political contest. One of the gen
tlemeG present said: "Then you are not at
all discouraged, GeneralP' 81 have not
thought of being Respondent" was the re-
ply, with some warmth.

Cotton Gooas il the South.
Journal of Commerce

Chicago Journal of Commerce
Referring to manufacturing cotton goods
in the South, the Secretary of the American
Cotton Exchange says the gain in the
manufacture of cotton in the Southern
States deservedly attracts attention, the
increase during the last ? years having been
more than 80 per cent. The quantity of
cotton consumed in thirteen Southern States
four years ago was 81 100 bales, from which
there has been an increase to 22l 1897 bales
during the crop year ust closed. Georgia
stands first on the list of cotton manufactu-
ring, that State having worked up last year
rs, 572 bales, North Carolina ranking next
with 38, 1893 bales, and South Carolina third
with Sc, $40 bales, Florida standing lowest
in the list with SEQ bales. The Southern
mills produce chiefly the cheaper varieties
of goods in which they are maintaining a
successful competition with the Northern
factories 1t is said that with anything
approaching good management the business
of the Southern mills yields large profits
Indeed, the statements of dividends which
have been published from time to time,
show that capital invested in cotton mills
South Is receiving lager returns than in
any section of the country, all Of which is
in striking contrast with the complaints
which come fIom British spinners. The
profits attending the operations of Southern
mills of late years have enabled the mill
proprietors to replace their machinery with
improved looms and spiudles, and many es-
adjustments have been enlarged and new
ones projected. These indications Of re-
newed prosperity in the South will be
received with satisfaction by every lover of
the country"
