A SEARCHING QUESTION.

We may see the significance of the
inquiry which the Almighty is said to
have put to Job-"Where vast thou
man when I laid the foundations OF
the worli?" The supposed collequy
between Job and his Creator EN-.
braces q pretty searching question,
which may be asked of the evolution
list; for upon the evolution theory,
these things, the tendency and cspa-
city of the molecules, and the envi-
roning conditions, are "the founda-
tons ofthe world" 1t is no snswer
to say, as Mr.. Spencer does, that these
tendencies or capacities of matter,
and the laws Ct the favoripg condi-
tions. came from tue Unknown
Cause. Known or unknown, did
they have cause or did they make
themselves2 DID these, the founda-
tions of the world, have an origin, or
were they without any origin? Ifthey

and power O: a being capable of
summoniGg them into existence and
pre- cribiDg their modes of action? If
they had no origin, if they existed
from all eternity, how came it that
they formed this extraordinary habit
OF invariably acting in certain way,
which, amid all its mrl.ifor0ity.

Thonghts ON COTTON.

1t is hard to convince Southwestern
farmers that there is more net money in
small crop Of cotton at good price than
in large crop at a low price. Some of
them appear to reason like the merchant
who was selling off his goods below cost.
When asked how he could afford to do so,
he replied that it was because he sold so
many more goods by offering that induce
ment. The trouble with cotton is
that about the heaviest item
of expense is the gathering of the
crop. A Texas planter who has his fields
white with the snowy staple and has to
pay 81 per hundred for picking does not
feel very rich. Georgia planters have
been pretty well cured of the cotton
mania. If planters out West would plant
less cotton and more of other products
they would be better off, and the lessen
ing of the supply would so enhance the
price that cotton could be raised with
profit in any part OF the South.
Combinations to limit production and to
enhance values can be successfully FORM
ed and conducted in nearly every depart
ment of manufacture and business. With
DAhIbGI5 anu kdl LlEAbg uONGNEls AuGIE
seems to be no chance to effect anything
of consequence by any such tactics. The
field of operations appears to be ex-
tensive and the material to be handled too
heterogeneous.
If it were possible to pass and enforce
it, it might be that the best thing in the
world that could be done for the cotton
planters would be the re-enactment of the
war measure which prohibited the plant
ing of over three acres of cotton to the
mule. If that law could be made perpet-
ual, what an improvement would be seen
in cotton plantingl Instead of raising
one bale of cotton on three acres of land,
it would not be long before three, four, six,
and perhaps even nine bales would be
produced on the same area. No doubt
that within a very few years
the average amount produced per
mule would be greater than 1t is now.
The intensive system o. farming, SO far as
cotton is concerned, would then suddenly
spring into favor all over the South. 1t Is
not likely that any country will be able to
compete with the Southern States in the
production of cotton for many years to
come. but with the extension of the cot
ton territory westward, the increased
supply will most probably exceed the
needs of the manufacturers even in un-
favorable years.
1t is doubtful if the perfection of cotton
picking machinery would be OF much
benefit to the producer after all that has
been said. theoretically it would save
to the planters nearly $40,000,000 per an
mum in case every planter should use the
machines. A danger would arise from an
artificial stimulus that would be given to
cotton production, and the re-
suit would be, most probably, that the
area planted would be largely
increased. The market would doubtless
be glutted with cotton, and the only ben
eft that would accrue from the inven-
ton would go to the spectators and spin
ners.
If planters all over the South could
only be induced to unite in raising less
cotton they would soon be masters of the
situation.

Gen. Dick Oglesby appears to have
been as unfortunate in his speech in llli-
nois the other day as Gen.
Hawley was in his Brooklyn
talk. He tried to throw sop to the Irish
voters. He told the audience that in case
of another war an Irish army could be
easily raised that would do away with
the necessity of calling on native Ameri-
can citizens to volunteer in de-
tense of their country. The point
was not appreciated by any
one present and fell fiat as a founder
The Irishmen, especially, felt that they
had been grievously insulted. They are
always ready to defend their adopted
country, but to be designated to do the

could stand. The unfortunate speech
caused Gen. Oglesby and the balance of
the Republican ticket to lose votes.

to foretell with any degree of accuracy the
extent to which they will be produced.
The supply is far from being as great as
the demand. Only a few years ago the
shipments of Florida oranges were so
small as to attract but little attention.
What a marvellous change has taken
place! The railroads are now preparing
to move between 900, 900 and 100000
boxes of this fruit this fall. In
the beginning of this orange
business the growers met with very poor
success. They did not know how to
prepare the fruit for market, and their
returns were very unsatisfactory. Like
the melon growers are now, they were
dissatisfied and disheartened. They have
learned by experience, however, and
Florida is becoming a great orange
orchard.
The present year and future years look
promising for Savannah. The cotton crop
lie good, and fair share of it will be dis
tribnted from this point. The naval stores
industry will continue to grow, and this
is its great market. Fruits and vegeta-
bles will come here in increasing amounts
for shipment. The forests of tribu-
tary territory are almost mex
haustible, and the lumber business
is certain to grow. The trade of the city
is not shrinking from competition. All
things considered, it is not to be Won
dered at that nearly 400 houses were built
within the city's limits inside of twelve
months. If there were some disappoint-
ments growing out of the business of the
past year they viii soon be absorbed IN
the hopefulness born of the promises OF
the present year.
No more conspicuous evidence of this
hopefulness and of confidence in the fu-
ture of the city can be presented than is
shown in the advertising columns of to-
days MORNING NEWS.

A Partisan-Not a Patriot.

The Republican voters, whose first and
chief concern is for pure politics ana honest

suaded, take a different view of their duty

Mr.. Edmunds. AS they look at 1t, the para
mount need of the hour is a rebuke of the
leaders Of their party. What argument and
appeal have failed to secure, the discipline of
defeat must bring to pass. The Republican
party must be true to its highest principles
and its most worthy purposes, if it hopes to
succeed. 1t was not true to them IN the
