THE United States completely dwarfs al
other countries in the production Or cotton.
The worlds crop is estimated at 8 SOC. O00,-
600 pounds, of which 2,77O,C00, 900 were
grown III this country. The East Indies,
including British India, produced the great
CT part Of the remainder, having raised
4O7, zoe, 600 pounds. The increased pro-
duction III the United States is attributed
III great degree to free labor. A great
number Of email producers increase the
aggregate far beyond the product of the
large plantation system with slave labor.
The new South is growing rich much faster
years ago, and with prosperity comes a
comparatively healthy body polite.

RFV. JUDAH WECHSLEH. the Jewish "a

REV. JUDAH WECHsnEE, the Jewish rab-
bi at ST. Paul, attended last week in that
city Sunday school congress Of the Meth
odist Episcopal church, and might well
have been surprised at q public invitation
from the president to participate in a dis
c71sslon on the relations Of children to the
church. He accepted the invitation and gave
tn, Jewish idea Of the subject and related
how carefully Hebrews train their children in
this particular, which agreed with the views
expressed by Methodist speakers. Il was
p simple incident but meant good deal.
A jewish rabbi addressing the bishop and
clergymon Of the Methodist church, by
invitation, and in an acceptable manner. is
something new under the sun and marks q
degree Of fellowship entirely unknown in
days gone by.

THERE was bank failure an d swindle at
Caldwell, Kansas. and instead of waiting
for the swindlers to escape, the abrupt and
torcible children OF the prairie took the
cashier and director and pointing to
significant coil of rope and handy tele-
graph pole intimated that the alternative of
non-p payment of claims was in the rope and
pole. They settled and saved their necks,
An eastern paper, which has had occasion
to mourn over many defalca tons in that
section, thinks it is too much to expect
that this Kansas method can he introduced
into the east, but like the Turkish method
of correcting infdelity with bow string,
it would be a sure cure where it is ap-
piled; and there are times when there is q
tender regret that it is impossible under the
masculating routine of civilization in New
ark or Boston, as it is not in prairie dog

PRESIDENT ARTHUE's suggestion that
the tine HIS arrived when the people may
justly damnai some relief from the present
enormous burden of taxation; and also his
recommendation for the abolition of all in
terpal revenue taxes except those upon to-
bacco and liquor in the various forms, ought
to meet with a hearty response throughout
the country. He does not mince matters
in the least. The fact is not disguised that
all the receipts into the national treasury,
whether derived from foreign imports
from internal sources, are taxes upon the
people. It would be we'll if oil the people
realized the full force of this fact. The
president has done his duty in this matter.
and the constituents Of every member of
congress will watch carefully the action of
their representatives. What the president
says upon the subject is worthy of careful
attention.

Terrible Mine Disaster in Epgtasd.

An explosion occurred on the 10th in the
DRILL pit, belonging to the Atranl Mining
company. The pit was considered one Of
the safest in Lancashire, as neither gunpowder
was used for blasting, nor furnaces for
ventilation, the whole system Of working the
mine being purely mechanical The Orley pit,
adjacent, was also terribly affected by the OK
plosion. OF over sixty employees in the Orley
pit, only twenty were brought to the sur
face "a alive. It's feared the remainder persisted.
The superstition is that 40 persons have been
killed in the Drill pit as 200 descended into
the pit that morning. Ten injured persons so
far have been recovered. The work OF explor
ing the mine and rescuing victims continues.
1t is believed the explosion WAS caused by the
fall of a portion of the roof, which liberated q
quantity of gas.

and contained his private property. The wag-
