KING COTTON.

Statistics recently promulgated by the
department of state make most graft
flying exhibit of the development of cot
ton culture in the United States. The
estimates show that about 2,77O, 900, 600
pounds of raw cotton are produced an
nually in this country, or four fths of
the crop of the world. The total annual
production of cotton is estimated at
$500, 100000, divided as follows:
United States ...................2,77 TO, 000 900
East Indies. NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.. 407, 000 900
Egypt, Smyrna, etc. ............. 1000, 900
Brazil. INSTRUMENTATION. $50. A, 900, 900
West Indies. ................... $4,000, 900
The cotton acreage in India has di-
minished rather than increased, and the
fact that eighty pounds an acre is the
average Indian yield, while 200 pounds
is the average in our southern states,
explains why England had to abandon
the project of growing enough cotton in
India to make herself independent of
the United States. No reason appears
for doubling that the United States will
continue to supply the world with the
greater part of its cotton. But the ex-
hibit we are able to make &c manufac-
turing country is by no means satisfac-
tory. 1t is believed that Americans use
an average of forty yards of cotton each
annually, the average for Europeans be-
ing twenty seven yards. 1t is estimated
that the mills of the United States pro-
duce little more than the 1900, 900, 600
yards required for home consumption,
although the value of our exports of
manufactured cotton during the fiscal
year 1880 was but SO, 991, 900 to 500, $685.
600 imported. The amount exported in
1881 was valued at 1851, 287. But
unless there is prodigious development
of our manufactures, our exports of
manufactured cotton will long be insig-
nifcant.

THE editor of the Beloit Courier
speaks of having gone hunting with a
gun which had been loaded and not
fired off for about twenty years. The
editor of this paper can relate an incl
dent which beats that experience. \
number of years ago We went with u
party of Salina boys up the Solomon
Valley, in search of 81 gang of Indian
raiders. About the time the Indians
came within smelling distance" and
the Silina party had begun 10 Inspect

found that his cartridges were too large
for his gun-barrci And he had ridden
hard and furiou-ly some sixty miles

man on the "fielI of battlc" But
then the Indians would have been
safe had our cartridges been of the
right size: for while the war-like Sa-
lima party was preparing for the
charge and snufling the battle from
the prairie, the Indian raiders we sup
posed near us were moving like flood
and raising hair i'm the next valley,
some ten miles away. We have often
trembled with the thought of how near
Iy we came being caught unarmed
when there really was no danger.

THE political wise men say that the

men-at-Large have been nominated.
As IL now rests Gov. St.John Is going
quietly about the State making tenn
perance speeches, but never i'm any

Every time he makes speech, he
garners many a new friend and also
commands the respect of those who
hate him. His opponents are wasting
their time on q candidate who will
never get there" They are depend
Ing on the unpopularity of StJohn and
the temperance cause for their strength
and are trying to galvanize a man
who was elected speaker of the House
by temperance votes into an anti-Pro-
hibitionist. What is there for the anti
Prohibitionists to admire i'm Johnston,
who as speaker directed the Legisla-

ELSEWHERE we publish in full
the proceedings of the Republican
county Convention held last Satur-
day. The Convention was called for
the purpose of electing delegates to
the First Congressional Convention,
but upon the assembly Of the county
delegates il was found that a large
portion of them were also in favor Of
electing delegates TO the State Con-
vention which has been :called for
nominating four Congressmen-at-
large. Judge Hanback, was also de-
sirous that such delegates should he
elected, AS he wished it known at
once throughout the State that he
was the unanimous choice Of the
Republicans of Saline county. Our
county has no other Congressional
candidate, and il was but right that
his wishes should be considered As
far as possible. 1t was the belief Of
not only the delegates but the Cen
trail committee, that to have called
another convention, would have found
the farmers too busy to give it pro-
per attention, and the result would
not, even then, have been much differ
erent from what it is now. The most
earnest advocates i'm favor of an I'M
disposal of the whole matter
were the farmer delegates themselves.
Considering the weather and the
very busy season, the convention was
well attended, and the delegates a

Norton presided with his usual dig
nifty and ability, the secretaries were
prompt and efficient and the proceed

Is more unanimity for his nom-
nation than has usually been eX-
hibitei over other men i'm Saline
county. We hope to see this the be-
of a continuous political
solidIty Of the Republicans upon all
future candidates who may rise up in
our county. In no way can We honor
Dur county more or uphold its inter
1T better than by being unit in favor
)f its candidates for high state po-
sitions.
