RUSSIAN COTTON.

The New Orleans Picayune pub
fishes special from Russia which says
a projected railway from Samarcand
to Khokan, distance of PAT miles, is
being built by private company,
headed by one Of the wealthiest mar-
chants IN Moscow, NJ Reschetnikaw,
chiefly to facilitate the transportation
Of cotton from the Ferghana
region to the Trans Caspian railway.
! Acco ding to report by an Ameri-
| can committee sent TO Turkestan to
study the conditions of the plantations,
not only is Russian cotton not inferior
to American cotton, bu. it sur passes
the latter in quality and would certain
ly subplant it in the interior markets
if only the conditions of transportation
were improved. The promoters of
this railway believe that in ten
years after it is built Russia will
not only cease to be market
for the America crop, but will be
exporting her own surplus cotton.
Russian mills ten years ago imported
American cotton to the value of $45,-
100000 year. The 900 cotton mills
Of the Cars kingdom with produc.
. ton of $ll0,000,000 depended en-.
tirely on the American product. In
1886 the price of cotton was thirteen
centsa pound and the next year ffteer
cents pound. Consumers pait
the enhanced value of cotton ir
: an increase Of price Of manufac
tured articles, some years esti
! mated the amount to $27, 800,
t 1000. In 1881 Russia began to grow
r cotton herself, raissng that year GAS
n pounds. The following year the guam
i tity produced amounted to 10S,OO'
n pounds, and in 1887 to $4,000,
e pounds. Last year Russia produce
r from American seed $4,000 tons c
d cotton, besides an equal quantity {
2 the Asiatic staple, or about one-thir
n of the quantity needed in her mills.

An EXTRA SESSION.

The constitution Of the United
States coufers upon the President
authority to convene in extra session
both houses Of Congress on extra
ordinary occasions. The Senate will
probably be convened Immediately
after the Inauguration Of Mr.. Cleve-
land to confirm his appointments, and
doubtless a large number Of the mem-
bers of the House willremain in Wash
ington during the greater part OF the
winter looking after the interest OF
their friends. SO il may be said that
the members Of the 53i Congress will
be in Washington when Mr. Cleve-
land is inaugurated. But is there any
thing So extraordinary in the condition
OF affairs as TO warrant Mr.. Cleveland
in calling an extra session OF Congress:
We believe there is The industries
Of the country demand immediate re-
lief from u o,pre, ION ofth- McKinly
tariff Every n minent d-mocrat
said 50 during ii recent campaign,
and the peo.lc said % at the recent
election. What can be of more i'm por
tance to our people than to heye their
industries liberated from the restraint
Of a tariff las that has almost peralized
them: Can any occasion be more extra
ordiuay than he occasion in Industrial
and comm-f al atiAirs demanding such
relief, and The occasion which presents
the oppotunity to afford it? We think
not But OF course should the 52d
Congress, during the session to
convene next month, pass the required
tariff legislation, the cause for the ex
ira session viii have been removed
and Mr.. Cleveland can give his atten
tion wholly to the removal of republi
can office holders, which We hope h,
will do Just as soon as he can. Th,
horse which pulls the plow should hav,
the fodder, says Senator Vance, an,
this is true democratic doctrine. i
is also true democratic doctrine to re
lieve the people Of unjust and oppress
i've laws as soon as possible. Whel
such laws as are on our statute bool
they make the occasion for their re
moyal extraordinary. The rank an
file Of the democratic party Throughout
the entire Union have voted in favo
on material changes ii The r9pablica
tariff and election laws, and they wi
not submit in silence to ths operatio
of these for twelve months after tn
opportunity has been presented fC
their modification and repeal. Ar
they ought not. The CHRONICLE d
manded their repeal before the electic
and demands it after the election.

Is Life

That depends upon the
Liver. If the Liver is
inactive the whole sys-
tenn is ont of order-the
breath is bad, digestion
poor, head dull or aching,

pressed, a heavy weight

the housekeeper of the
