THE EXPORTS of American made cot

THE EXPORTS of American made cot
ton goods to South American countries
during the last year have increased
twenty-five per cent. The protection
lists would have it appear that this Is
the result of the Mckinley bill. But 1t
is not. On the contrary, just the re-
verse is the case. There is no tarlil tax
ON the raw material Of which cotton
goods are made. The manufacturers
of such goods in this country can there.
fore make them cheaper than those OF
England or any other country, and as
nations, as we'll as individuals. get their
supplies where they can buy them
cheapest, those of South America natu-
rally order their cotton goods from the
United States. If the tariff tax on the
raw material of which all other articles
manufactured in this country were re-
moved, there would be great increase
in the exports of those articles also, and
not only to South America, but 10 every
other part of the world. 1t is low, not
high prices, that increase sales, and
the republican Senator, Mr.. Stewart OF
Nevada, may well say, as he did recent

of his own party assert that the effect OF

JAY GOULD LEFT OUT.-The invita-
ton extended to Coils p. Huntington
to take hand in the reorganization of
the Richmond and Danville is signili
cant.
Mr.. Huntington is the only man who
can load freight on his own cars on the
Pacific coast and put it in New York
without dividing the revenue with
other lines. He can send his cars into
New Orleans and there reload the
freight on his steamships and carry it
to New York. If he takes large inter
est in the Terminals properties he
will have an all-rail line across the con-
tinent with the exception of short
link, and he could soon connect the
two lines. Mr.. Huntington is close to
Drexel, Morgan & Co., who have han
died some of his securities. He and
Pat Calhoun are also closely associated
and it is believed here that he was en-
listed through Mr.. Calhoun. A rail-
road man recently from New York
says that Pat Calhoun will figure prom
incntly in the Terminals re-organiM-
ton, and is looked on there as the
of all the Terminal people

Race Troubles.

SPRINGFIELD, Ills, Aug. 6.-The
town is much excited over riot which
has occurred between members of the
Fourth Infantry in camp here. and a
crowd of negroes. The militia, who
have been greatly annoyed by colored
loafers, tossed one of them in blanket
Later number of soldiers were badly
used up. At midnight yesterday a
crowd of soldiers came into the city de-
termined to punish the negroes and
were meeting with success when the po-
lice arrested four soldiers, who were
fined by a justice. No further trouble
is apprehended

ARCHBISHOP IRELAND, who supports
the civil rights bill, and endorses boy
colts, by means Of the transformation
he carried to Rome, induced the Cath
Ole Church to oppose his plan for turn
ing Catholic schools over to the control
of the public school officials, though
that plan has already failed in one of
the only two places in which it has been
tried, and has now provoked contro-
sy with the wiser and more respected
Archbishop Corrigan, who wrote u letter
to Rome to correct the transformation
referred to. Only wise men should
fill high positions in church, camp and
State. but the case of Archbishop Ire
land shows that unwise ones are as liza
BILE to get into the former as into either
of the latter.

Race Fcud in Louisiana.

New ORLEANS, Aug. 6.-The shoot
ing of Judge Henry Long from ambush
a few nights ago at Kennerville just
above the city has aroused great bitter
ness. The whole trouble is attributed
to political cnmity and has resulted in
race feud. A number of negroes and
low white men are said to have formed
a plot to force number of white resi-
dents out of the place and it is said
that they had threatened to burn down
several stores and residences. The sit
uation began to look SO serious that a
number of negroes are locked up in the
parish jail and reports are to the effect
that the prisoners are to be lynched.

THEY HATE THAT PARROT.-An am
bilious parrot with scarlet neck and
gold ear marks is engaged in torturing
the sixty or seventy-five dodgers in the
Judson apartment house in Washing
ton square just now. 1t has been at the
work for the past two weeks.
Back of the Judson, fronting on West
Third street, is a large tenement house,
and the parrot belongs to family liv-
ing on one of the middle floors of the
building. The bird seems to be dying
to talk, but to have no one to teach ii
to do so. It's cage stands on the back
fire escape by day, and the only sounds
it hears to initiate arc the whines and
banks of a pet dog belonging to the
same family. These sounds the bird
has got down very fine, especially the
shrieks, which arc of the rasping, blood
curding type.
Dog and parrot battle continually at
barking ard shrieking and whining.
But it is at dinner time and ON the
quiet of the Sabbath, the boarders in
the Judson say, that the noise is the
most terrible.
Some of the boarders have determ-
med that bhe parrot must go, others are
considering the propriety of petitioning
the board of health in the matter, and
still another party, it is said, are load
ing up with bootacks and the like for
next Sunday.
Inquiry at 81 Third street, which is
the tenement back of the JudsoD, de-
veloped the fact that family named
Shields, who live in the second floor
rear room, own the parrot. The fami-
" were all out of town Thursday night,
except the parrot. That intelligent
bird answered the reporters knock at
the door with discordant shrek, fol-
lowed up by a volley of sounds that
comprised all the distinguishing vocal
characteristics of that neighborhood.
The other dodgers in the house at 81
Third street are never disturbed by the
parrot, which they say is We1l-be-
haved bird, He never swears, but on
the contrary, he is religiously inclined.
Some Of the people in the tenement de-
clare that they haze heard him try to
sing hymns on Sunday, winch day he
seems to recognize as being ont OF the
ordinary. This is probably the reason
that the dodgers at the Jndson complain
particularly of the noise on Sundays.
The tenement people all are on the
parrots side.-N. Y. Sun.

THE BILL for a government establish
mont in one of the western States for
the cure of consumptives, has been re-
ported upon adversely by the Senate
committee to whom it was referred.
That was right. The people should
support the government, not the gov
ernment the people. And, then, what
greater claim upon the government
have consumptives than those afflicted
with any other disease? But, all the
same, the republican Senators who
signed the report referred to, voted to
give the healthy people of Chicago two
and half million dollars fora sectional
and partisan fair to be held in that city.
Republican Senators do not make men
pale, but they DO point moral, if
they don't adorn tale.

THE FIRST session of the fifty-second
Congress has adjourned. 1t is as CEN
surable for its sins of omission as for
those of commission, among the latter
being its expenditure of over five hun
dred million dollars, forty-odd million
more than that of the similar session of
the preceding Congress. Some of this
increase, to be sure, was made neces-
sary by the action of the fifty-first Con-
gress, and much of it was the result of
the action of the republican Senate, but
still, House with two-thirds demo-
cratic majority had the power to pre-
vent such enormous extravaganza. and
for not exerting it will receive its full
share of blame.

Expcnditurcs Compared.

At the closing session of the Senate
last night Senator Henderson, after
congratulating the Upper House on its
clean docket at the close of protracted
session. in which, for the first session
in % wears there had been only one
nights sitting Of the Senate, made com
parative statements as to the work done
in Congress.
Mr.. Henderson said that the Senate
had passed 100 Senate bills, and ofthose
the House had passed 100. The House
had passed AGO House bills; and of
those the Senate had passed 81. Ofall
the Presidential nominations that had
come TO the Senate during this session
there had not been q single one rejected.
and but three nominations had died on
the executive calendar of the Senate.
This congratulatory expression drew
from Senator Allison statement of the
comparative expenditures of this Con-
gress and the last. The appropriations
of the first session of the 5lst Congress
were, in round numbers, 1868, 000 900,
and those of the present session S507,-
600, 1000, showing an increase at this ses-
sion of $44,000,000. The principal in
crcases were In appropriations for pen
sions and for the Postoflice Department.
There were some diminutions ut the
present session, notably in the deticien-
cies, to the amount Of IS, 100000. There
was also diminution of 100000 in
miscellaneous appropriations.
Mr., German, member of the COM
mittec On appropriations, commended
the chairman of that committee for his
fair and candid statement, The fact
remained, however, that the appropria-
tions as this session would exceed
$500. 100000, Notwithstanding the ex-
traordinary efforts of the House of Rep
resentatives to keep them within rea-
sonable bounds. Ii was not altogether
a party matter; for these immense APP
preparations were partly made necessa-
~ because of the growth Of the coun-
try, the extension of the postal system
and the extension Of the pension sysr
tenn and other permanent and necessa-
~ expenditures.
Of the immense aum OF S507, 900, 000
dppiOliiIdttu Nv luS PiS9Si'e ''S''''ioii' -
ty millions had become necessary be-
cause of the legislation of the 51st Con-
gress-a Congress for which the demo-
cratic party had no responsibility.
Twenty of that sixty millions mad come
from pensions alone. The appropria-
lion for pensions at the next session
would be at least twenty millions more
than at the present session, and he
doubted very muci, if it would be posi-
BILE to have the appropriations reduced
next session much below 100000, coo.
He believed that Congress would be
compelled to levy other and additional
taxes to meet the requirements of the
Treasury. He belieyed that that time
would come before the end of the fiscal
wear 1898; and then he had no doubt
that both parties being brought 50
sharply face 10 face with the people,
would end some methods by which
those immense expenditures would be
reduced.

A little son of Mr.. John T. Cockerille
near Bethel, fell from pear tree few
days ago on pile of rocks and broke
his thigh.
Whooping cough is quite common at
Marshall, though the tropical heat
which we have had for some days is
more complained of.
The dwellings of Charles X. Harrison
and Hon. d. Tyler near Upperville
were struck by lightning few days
since and the inmates severely stunned,
but there was no fatal result. The
roof of the Tyler mansion was fired,
but was soon extinguished without Sc
rious damage.
A difficulty occurred at Catletts last
week between Scott Carter, Of Casan-
ova, and d. w Foster, which might
have ended seriously, but for the inter
ference of the notary public. Stones
and pistols played prominent part,
but no one was hurt and no arrests
have been made.

ALMOST EVERY day in the year men
ton is made in one of the Washington
newspapers, under the head Of con-
science contributions, of the anony-
NOUS return to the Treasury of money
stolen from the government by people
in the North. 1t is rather remarkable
that of all the many valuable articles
stolen from this Office by federal sol
diers before they burned it during the
war between the States, not a single
one was ever sent back. 1t would
seem that the conscience of those who
steal from the government is more
tender than that of those who rob pri-
vate individuals.

Il strange dog, which had been pr, win

among them. 1t ended by the stranger
jumping over the front of the gallery

They had found that when the people
stood up the dogs thought it sign OF
departure, and by whining and bark
ing showed their pleasure. The pco-
pie, therefore. kept their seats, and the
dogs were quiet.

SHOOTING AT LURAY.-D. B. Snyder,
a member of the Luray bar, was shot
yesterday evening by E. I. Broyles,

later was arrested, and he is now in

near the ear, and is suffering great pain.

not been extracted. His condition is
serious. Both Snyder and Broyles are
prominent republican politicians, and
are well known in that section. shy
