New England's Need.
From the Providence journal, RI.

From the Providence journal, X. l.
There is something to arouse New Eng
land thought, if not to excite New England
apprehension, in the announcement that
the directors of the Whitefield cotton
mills have decided to remove the machin-
cry and equipment of their establishment
at Newburyport, Mass, to Spartanburg, s.
O., where the company has largo mill
under construction. The reasons assigned
for the change are what they might be
supposed to be-the desire of the owners
to avail themselves of the immense natural
advantages that the south possesses for
cotton manufacture, the proximity and
hence the cheapness of raw material, the
cheapness of fuel and of labor, and per-
haps, also, the absence of labor legislation
unfavorsble TO employers.
Of the growth of cotton manufacturing
in the south we have been told great
deal in late years. We saw, when the last
careful examination of this Industry was
made, on the first of September, 1888,
that it had grown from 164 mills with
56l,360 spindles in 1879, to 235 mills with
1,177,901 spindles. We saw that in the
same length of time the cotton consumed
by these mills increased from 1873, 74S bales
of AGA pounds each to 443,373 bales of
1925 pounds each. We saw, too, that
the profits divided among the stockhold-
ers were substantial; we were told that
the balance sheets showed much better
than even the dividends indicated; and we
were informed by the Financial Chron-
icle, which made the examination, that
1.-THE industry is not only growing but
solidifying."
Heretofore, however, it could not be said
that this gain in the cotton manufactures
of the south was at the immediate expense
of New England. That is, the increase of
southern cotton mills was not accompanied
by a cores ponding decrease of northern
mills. The announced removal of this
Newburyport establishment, however,
must suggest a question as to whether it
is likely to be followed by other removals
that will ultimately take the whole cotton
manufacturing industry away from New
England. 1t would not be surprising if
this should prove to be the result. The

THE BRIDGE REJECTED.

The Montopolis bridge question was
yesterday resolved by the county commits
sioners'court refusing to receive the bridge
in its present condition, constructed to its
present height. The most the Bridge
company have commended for is that there
was doubt as to the true level of the high
water mark of 1869, and that they obeyed
the instructions of the county engineer.
But the question recurs, had this engineer
any power to bind the county to level
different from that indicated by the con-
tractH And now, il there is any uucer-
tainty as to that level, or if the bridge
does not correspond with the level
as determined by the best au-
thorities, then the commissioners
court has done its duty by the county in
rejecting the bridge in the condition in
which it is rendered by the Bridge com
pany. 1t was a question that required
the most careful investigation; the county
had considerable money at stake, and we
think the county commissioners court
acted in wise part in its decision yester-
day. tits understood Judge Breckenridge
concurred fully in and advised that de-
cision.

now TO HELP THE CONFEDERATE HOME.

The thanks of the benefciaries Of our
Confederate home and all interested in its
welfare are due the Confederates of Lam
pasas, who have pushed on further than
discussion; and have formed a Camp of
1913 members which, it is thought, will be
increased to 200. The Camp was formed
with the one aim of bene filing our Con
federate Home, and it is such practical
effort that wins. At the small assessment
of S. apiece that movement means $1,000
for the Home. If that relative help could
be secured from every town in the state,
how long would it be before we would
have built magnificent Home with an en-
dowment sufficient to run it for all time
Will not other towns and cities of the state
follow this noble example of the Confed-
crates OF LampasasH II these Camps
should furnish but little money on their
own account, would they not form such
nucleus for action as would prove irresist-
blei Advertise the suggestion. We call
upon the press of the stste to urge the
example of Lampasas, and start Confed-
crate Camps in all parts of the state.
In this connection and as encourage
ment to us of Texas in our endeavOr, the
following editorial, from the Little Rock
Gazette, is very promising as showing
how this work is growing in Arkansas as
it is in other southern states:
"The long discussed movement to es-
tablish home for disabled ex-Confeder-
ate soldiers in this state has at last taken
definite shape and promises practical re-
suits. At we'll attended meeting at the
state house Wednesday night the society
Of ex-Confederate soldiers Of the state of
Arkansas was organized and the handsome
sum of So, 400 was subscribed to fund
for the establishment Ct home. The
gentlemen who attended this meeting and
organized this movement are prominent
and influential citizens of the state and
among the best representatives of the ex
Confederate soldiers. They hold high
rank in both business and official life, and
the earnest zeal they display in the matter
is the surest guarantee of the success of
tle undertaking. Its object appeals not
only to the sympathy of ex-Confederate
soldiers in behalf of their destitute COM
rades, but to the kindly assistance of gen
erous and warm-hearted people without
distinction. In almost every southern
state some step like this has been taken
and the old soldiers and their friends in
Arkansas are neither less able nor less
willing to undertake and complete ouch
a work Of kindly remembrance than those
OF any other state"

WHERE WILL THAT PORT Be-


In reference to the recent visit in Gal
weston of the United States engineers, who
are to report to congress the most suitable
place on the Texas coast for deep water
port, the Galveston News feels constrained
to rise up in its place and state as fol
lows: at was marked by no especial dis
play on the part of citizens of Galveston,
the commission being merely accompanied
to the works of improvement at present
under way here by few representative
citizens. At the request of the engineers
themselves some specific data concerning
the railway systems concentrating on the
port of Galveston, together with statistical
information as to maritime tonnage, value
of exports and imports, ETC., were laid be-
fore the commission, and this being done
the engineers were left to determine the
matter before them upon purely scien-
tific and professional basis. No effort
whatever was made here to prejudice the
claims of any other port under the con-
struction of the act of congress which
gave birth to this engineering commits
sion"
Now, it is extremely good of the News
to tell it's readers all this, for there had
been suspicion going the rounds, which
now no doubt is seen to have been
very unjustly entertained, to the
effect that the people of Galveston
were verify humping themselves to make
the stay of those engineers in the Island
City as comfortable and pleasant as pos
sible. Not of course from any interested
motives, but merely as an act of common
courtesy and interest in such distinguished
gentlemen. We regret for the good name
OF Galveston, but on other grounds and as
showing m )st commendable, independ
emit, devil-a-care spirit, are dele
gated that our coast city turned
her patrician back on the gentle
men prying into the secrets of her teredo-
eaten sea walls. She acted nobly?
In what contrast with this is the action
of San Antonio, whose board of trade has
appointed committee composed OF Gen.
d. s. Stanley, Gen. G. W. Russ, Col. II. B.
Andrews, A. O. Schryver, Chas. Hugo, A.
W. Houston and B. F. Yoakum to meet
the engineers appointed by the United
States government to investigate the har-
bors of Texas and report which they
think the most favorable location for deep
water.
We would like to ask, what is that COM

THE UNITED STATES SENATE.

1t is fact which is not generally known,
that the United States senate sat at all
times with closed doors during the first
six years after our government went into
operation under the Constitution. Not
even the members of the house of repre-
sentatiVes were permitted to invade its
hiding places. A resolution, providing
that "the doors of the senate
chamber shall be opened when the
senate is sitting in their Legislative ca
pacity, to the end that such of the Cit I
zens of the United States as may choose
to hear the debates of this house may
have an opportunity of doing So" was
voted down April 30, 1890, just one year
after Washington's first inauguration, and
the same proposition was rejected at the
two following sessions. On the 18th of
April, 1892, some bold and venturesome
senator made motion to admit the mem
bers of the house of representatives to
attend the debates of the senate when
sitting in its Legislative capacity. 1t re-
ceived but six affirmative votes against
sixteen in the negative. On the 9th of
December, 1895, secrecy was abolished ex-
cept in cases where especially ordered.

The population of Texas ia 1885, when
independence was achieved, was about
$4,000; in 1910 the population was esti-
mated to be $4,000; in 1916, when Texas
was annexed to the United States, the
population was estimated at 10000; in
1850, by the United States census, the
population was 212,592; by the census of
1860 the population was 6O4,215; by the
census of 1870 the population was S1S,579;
by the census of 1880 the population was
1,59l,749. 1t is confidently believed the
census of 1890 will give us population of
100000 inhabitants, and that the child is
now living who will see Texas with pop
ulation of 100000 of people.
