spindles when put up will consume
three times as much cotton as the same
number in France and England.
With 100000 spindles in the cot
ton fields we could spin 10000 bales
of cotton into yarn from the seed cot
ton. This would require an average
of 200 mills to each cotton State, of
1000 spindles; or 400 mills with 1000
spindles each. The latter size might
be the best to begin with, and enlarge
afterward. Arkansas has twenty-five
counties. Then sixteen to the county
would give the number of mills in the
State emitting fifty counties of the
State. Suppose the planters begin and
build houses for the spindles, only five
year. in three years they would
bave the number required for the
country. These mills, after put into
operation, would he permanent, prop
erly, owned by the planters and
spinners, of great value TO them and
the country. The profits then should
be appropriated to the extension and
Improvement of the mills and ma
chincry, and erection Of new mills,
until the cotton States had mills to
spin 3, SOC, 900 bales, being the quantity
we are compelled to gin and bale
and compress and sell to go to Europe.
Why are we compelled to send it TO
Europe? Because they have the
spindles and we have not. The spin
dies are 1000 miles from the cotton
fields now, and we, the cotton growers
have it i'm our power to put them up
in the cotton fields and spin the new
cotton into thread and make bales Of
your yarn worth from $50 10 500 a
bale. ) X. CoCKRILL.

waukee Sentinel, show Hiram Smith,
of Sheboygan, Jonathan Bowman,
of Columbia, and J. M. Bingham, of
Chippewa, all willing to serve the
State as Governor, and each has
friends ready to aid him to the
place. But it is generally conceded
that the race will be between Rusk
and Warner; others being merely
dark horses. Rusk and Warner both
being residents of the eth dist. lively
canvass for the delegates from that
section is anticipated, and that the
candidate least successful there will
be practically disposed of is ad-
mitted, as it is reasonably agreed
that the State convention will not be
likely to nominate either of them
for Governor against majority of
the delegates from their own Con-
gressional district.
Rusk's friends announce that they
will form no combination with can
dldates for other positions, but make
their fight directly and only for the
Governorship. The wisdom of such
a course is apparent when one con-
siders that all candidates for other
places who are not in the Warner
combination must feel that their
only hope is in bursting that
slate" and accordingly will be
united for Rusk as the surest way to
accomplish that result.
There is steadily increasing SEN
timent adverse to the theory that
congressional district lines must be
strictly observed in framing the
State ticket. Major lockwood of
Walworth county is admittedly quite
likely to be nominated for School

The Democracy are beginning to
name their candidates for the Presi-
Dental race of 1884. The Tilden

ulated by the Randall-Barr faction
of Pennsylvania Democrats, has
named Tilden. The club represents
the sage Of Gramercy Park as III

lieves the sold man" would make q

has been reflled since the contest of
1876, and is now reported to be al

Mr.. Samuel j Randall, late Speak
er of the House of Representatives,
and candidate for the Democratic
nomination for Vice President, is
said to be manipulating the Demo
cratic machine in Pennsylvania in

the move in favor of Tilden should
be successful, the Pennsylvania ma
chine will push Randall for Vice

A WRITER in q New York paper
predicts another financial panic at
an early date in the future, and bas-
es it on the large increase of rail
road building in all sections of the
Union and general speculative mania
that everywhere prevails. lie says
that the city Of New York, which is
the money center of the United
States, is also the storm-center OF
pauics, and that any attempt to real
lie on any considerable portion OF
the enormous amount OF railroad
stocks held there would undoubtedly
cause furry in financial quarters
that might swell into cyclone like
that which swept over the country
in 1878. lie says that more than
Sloo, 900 900 has been raised IN New
York city in the last year for ab-
sorption in the railroads of the eX-
slave States, and for the construction
of new lines IN unsettled sections OF
the South. A similar amount has
gone into the far West, and nun
dreds of miles of railroad will be
built this year through localities that
cannot support them for years to
come; and altogether the oorrespon-
dent thinks their is a dark prospect
ahead.
