Gov. Lowry's Address at Whitworth

Whitworth College captured the audience.
who, by rising vote, demanded its publ
cation. Those who know the Governor,
know he is not spread eagle ora tor, SO to
speak He has probably not cultivated the
picnic or fourth of July style. There was
not much posing and gesturing, and no poe
try, but it is simple truth to say that in five
minutes he reduced his audience to listeners
and held them in his power to the close
The originality and practical cast of his adj
dress was its peculiar charm. The average
speech on such an occasion has been made a
thousand times This has been made bat
once. Tt was LoWry's speech, and one of his
best. The Governor complimented the
principal in a modest reference to his rise
from the Law to the ministry, and from a
very brief exordium went straight to his
subject The Disabilities of Women"
Having shown her social standing and legal
status at the dawn ofcivilization, he pictur-
ed heradvance through enlightened legisla-
ton to what she is and to what she may be
as factor in'the problem of future progress
Pressing this latter view, be maintained
thatshe was eligible to all the lighter labors
ofthe commercial mart. the literary and tele-
graphic professions; and last, though not
least, to places ofoficiaI trust where clerical
or educational labor Is required.
As the address IS to be published we viii
not follow the distinguished speaker with a
critical analysis, but win lay It before our
readers as soon as possible.
Governor Lowry IS a growing man.
There is something in his modest manner
and kindly nature that holds his friends
and attracts his constituents There are
men ii our city who have known him for
thirty-liYe years, and through all the
changes Of fortune and xieissitudez Of his
busy life have found him tie same man they
knew ii the modest country village when
lis smooth face looked over tie counter and

Chinese now in California as an unmixed

take prompt steps for the removal of every

THE excitement over the nomination
in the 9Th District has considerably
abated, and we are gratifed to be
assured that it will not reach fever
heat in any other District. This is as
it should be. We would take the liber-
ty to advise the Democrats and Conser-
NATIVES to reserve their ammunition
until the real fight begins, which will
be after the nominations are made. IF
they waste their strength fighting each
other, in advance, what will become of
them when the regular battle opens
As between Democrats, it is a mere
contest as to men, minor matter COM
pared to the vital principles that may
be lost by internal dissensions. 1t
matters comparatively little who enjoys
public favor if the public welfare is SUBJ
served. The men who undertake to
carry some of the Districts will bargain
to shoulder vast responsibility and
if they take it at the end of ga heated
term" for the nomination they may find
that like the Dutchman who took a
running start of a half mile to jump a
ditch, they have exhausted their strength
before the main works begins.

A crying Evil.


We beg to remind our Congressman
that one Of the crying needs of the hour
is Law to protect their constituents from
the extortions of patent sharks. This
is a day Of inventions, and sensible PEG
pie are doing their best to bring
machinery to the aid of muscle in per-
forming labor. Machinery controls
labor, and directs itin the right channel.
The scarcity of timber, too, in many
parts of the country, has compelled the
substitution of iron for wooden fences.
It is often that farmer invests in these
newly invented articles at a coed price,
and is soon astounded by the information
that he has infringed upon somebody's
patent, and must pay damages or go to
law Rather than have litigation
which viii take him to the federal
courts long distance from home with
its attendant costs, he is glad enough to
compromise by the payment of a con-
siderable amount. This system of
matchmaking ought to be broken up. A
bill has passed the House to suppress it,
but it sleeps in the Senate.

Cotton Production.


We have been very much interested
in the report of Prof. E. w. Hilgard,
now of California, formerly State Cecil
ogist of Mississippi, on the cotton pro-
duction Of the United States based upon
the late census returns. The average
yield of cotton to the acre in the
several cotton producing States IS as
follows: Louisiana, 50 per cent. Ar
kansas, 58; Kentucky, 81; the Indian
Territory, 40; Mississippi, As; Tennes-
see, 46; Virginia, 46: in North Caro-
lima, A; South Carolina, 50; Texas,
81 Georgia, 81 !; Alabama, 80 Florida,
q, and Missouri, so. Surprise will be
elected by this showing as to
Missouri which is generally regarded as
north of the cotton belt proper; but it
will vanish with. the statement that the
area of production in that State embra-
ces almost exclusively the highly fertile
lowlands lying at the head Of the great
st. Francis bottom in the southeastern
corner of the State. The Yazoo Delta
in Mississippi has an average yield OF
from so to Sc per cent. of bale TO the
acre. The single county that produced
the largest amount of cotton was
Washington county. Mississippi, whose
crop was 54,873 bales. It is notable
fact that there is not a single county IN
any State that yields one bale to the
acre. In the Yazoo bottom, the richest
cotton lands in the South, the yield is
only three-quarters of a bale, while the
average throughout the South is less
than half a bale per acre. This low
yield is due to careloss cultivation
and imperfect picking. In this con
nection Prof HiIgard makes a surPrls
ing statement, viz, that if the lands in
Washington county, Mississippi, now
subject to overflow by the river, were
reclaimed, and cultivated even in the
usual careless and ineffective way, the
annual crop Of that county would be 2,
250, 900 bales and with improved cul-
tivation the yield could be raised to s.
600, 900 bales or, in other words, this
one county in Mississippi, if thoroughly
cultivated, could be made to yield near
ly the whole cotton crop now produced
in the United States
Mississippi stands at the head Of the
cotton States in its gross product, 955,
808 bales, and Georgia comes next,
with S14, AL bales. Georgia's area OF
frst-class cotton lands is very limited,
and the large crop it produces is at.
tributed to 'better cultivation of the
soil, the use of fertilizers, and the thrift
of an industrious population" There i;
no doubt that if the Georgia style Of
farming could be extended over all the
cotton States, the annual crop would
be doubled The small parish of East
Carroll, in the northeast corner OF
Louisiana, has the highest average pro
duct per acre of any county in the cot
ton States, 90 of bale. 1t corners on
Washington county, Mississippi, and
Chicot county, Arkansas, both repre-
senting maxima of production in their
respective States SO that this district
is, apparently, the centre of maximum
cotton production on natural soils in
the United States, and probably in the
world.

The South and the Tariff Question.

The narrow-sighted people who think
that the South will embrace the policy
of high tariff because she is embark
ing extensively in manufacturing enter
prises, are entirely mistaken. 1t is not
to her interest to encourage that system
under any circumstances. First, the
South wants the world for a market for
her agricultural products. 1t would be
suicidal for her to eat herself off from
the markets of other nations, to the
detriment of her leading industry. As
an agricultural people she is an export
ing country, and cannot expect to sell
to other countries when she closes her
ports against them by prohibitory or
misealled, protective legislation. A high
tariff while damaging her agricultural
interests, would operate injuriously to her
manufacturing enterprises. This fact is
made clear in the following extract
from the Savannah News:
1t will not do to assume that, because the
Southern people have begun to become
manufacturers, that they will abandon their
former clear thinking on economic subjects
for the exploded fallacies of our Pennsyl-
vania neighbors. There is also special
reason WHY they should not They are so
much more favorably situated for manufac-
turing cheaply than others in this country
that a low tariff would not only injure
them, but would protect their infant indus
tries from their veteran competitors north
of Mason and Dixon's line. 1t is obvious
that the Georgia cotton manufacturer, with
cheap cotton and cheap labor at his door, can
defy competition, and with heavy low tariff
possess himself of the whole United States
market To him high tariff is positive
hurt, since it enables his new England COM
petitor to keep his head above water. The
high prices for labor in New England
the freight charges on the cotton bale from
the cotton field to the New England mill,
the unfavorabe and severe Northern eli
mate-all of these things put the New Eng
land manufacturer at a disadvantage in
comparison with his Georgia rival. The
latter without tariff could go abroad and
sell his yarns and cotton goods in the face of
English competitors this the New England
manufacturer could not do. Hence their
relations to the tariff are not the same,
either in the home or in the foreign market.
Similarly with regard to iron and steel in
dutries beginning to flourish in Virginia,
Alabama and other Southern States. Hay-
ing side by side the best iron ore and the
best of coal, it has more than once
been asserted by the best authorities that
these States are able to turn out iron at a
price which PENNSYLVANIA cannot touch.

National Board of Health.
d to Cincinnati Commercial

Special to Cincinnati Commercial.
WASHINGTON, June 26.-The estimate
of the amount needed to maintain the Ma
tional Board of Health in all its ramifca-
tions next year, which we're submitted TO
Congress in December, footed I'D TO S3O1-
600. They are said to embrace no items not
necessary in order to the successful prose
cution of the National Boards work next
year. The Board has many enemies, how.
ever. 1t has been regarded from the first
as an interloper by the State Boards Of
Health, municipal health officers and by
private physicians. They have often com
bined against it; sometimes they have eff
feeted their purpose. They have now sue
ceeded in persuading the subcommittee of
the House Appropriations Committee to re-
commend to the full committee the appro-
priation of but $4,000, or Just about
enough to pay the salaries of the Board
next year. When the many Southern mem
bers who have taken an almost personal in
terest in the National Board of Health
from its birth, heard of the action of the
subcommittee to-day, they concentrated
their efforts on the rest of the Appropria-
ten Committee. They will give them no
rest by day and no sleep by night until they
reverse the action of the subcommittee or
stubbornly declare that they won't. But
terworth, Blackburn and Hiscock are the
subcommittee on the Board OF Health APP
