In accordance with tie proclamation

sion. If the weather permits they

TEXTILE INDUSTRIES.
Census Bulletin Showing the Increase in
Products Since 1880,

Census Bulletin Showing the Increase in
Products Since 1880,
WAsHINGToN, Oct. 1T.--The census bu-
reau has issued bulletin On the condi-
ton of the textile industries Of the
United States for the census year 1890
which will attract general attention.
The increase of silk manufacture since
1880 was most striking, being 1875 per
cent in the value of products. The in
crease in cotton manufacture ranked
second, being 39.51 per cent, and the
wool manufacture third. being 26. 80 per
cent. The j; crease in the entire textile
industry was 1851 per cent. The rela-
tive rank in Importance of these indus
tries has been changed. The wool man
ufacture in all it's branches, including
all descriptions of hosiery and knit
goods, now stands first on the list, with
products valued at 1887, 76s,524 Cotton
is second with products valued at $685.
931, 724 and silk manufacture third with
products valued at $S7, 1893, 454. The act
ual increase in the value of products was
$40, 515, Gil in wool, $75, 1891 ,614 in cotton
and SAG, 265, 400 in silk, the total increase
being without parallel in any country.

Politicians make a mistake when
they speak disparagingly of their po-
itical opponents. We can denounce
mans political principles as severely
soa. as any one, and at the same time be
trod1atimate with him and speak we'll of
which.n as q man. We are led to make
the 14aese remarks by hearing man few
40 lidays since-we think he is member
Tof the Peoples party-assert that A.
ardL. Stenger, Democratic candidate for
olloounty treasurer, "Was not fit man
u the office; that he was neither COM
potent or obliging." Now everyone
knows that we are opposed to the cleo
ton Of Mr.. Stenger and that we shall
do all we can to elect the Republican
candidate, Carl Buckentin, but still
we must say that the man who made
the above foolish assertion is very wide
Of the mark and by such talk is help
ing Mr.. Stenger more than he is dam
aging him. We have known Mr.. S.
for over four years and have always
found him to be gentlemanly and
courteous, and as for his capacity to
fill the office Of county treasurer, our
opinion is that he is abundantly able
to run the Office, being both "compe,
tent and obliging." Men arc not nu-
merous whom we like better than Gus
Stenger, and that is why we have said
this much in his praise.
