variety in the cost OF production of
cotton the average cost was nearly 8
cents q pound. This was reduced be-
tween 1880 and 1890 to nearly 8 cents a
pound. Last year it cost in Georgia,
7.08 cents to produce a pound OF cotton.
In Mississippi, during the present sea-
son, the methods have resulted in a re-
duction to 6.5 cents per pound. In
Texas cotton is produced at 5.3 cents
per pound. The agricultural expert
ment station gives a number Of instan-
Q whore it was produced for less. AT
the station 1t cost 5.42 cents. In Bell
county 1t was produced for 400 to 4.82
cents, and in N case in Bowie county,

The report Of railroad track-lay-

the smallest amount laid for many
year past, the total being only 1915
miles for the six months. At this
ratio the total for the year will not
exceed 5000 miles and may fall consi-
derably below that figure, unless the
financial conditions greatly improve.
Allthe indications point to the small
lest mileage laid since the panic year

Journal recently in consequence OF the
appointment of Alderman Herman, Par
neLlite, to fill the vacancy created by the
resignation of Mr.. E. D. Gray. Arch
bishop Walsh and Michael Davitt wrote
letters imploring the directors to drop
the controversy until the stockholders
met to decide the matter. The other
day the Irish party held a private meet
ing in the famous committee room Is to
settle the dispute, and after two hours
elaboration committee of control was
agreed upon, and the meeting ended with
perfect unanimity. The committee of
control consists of Justin Mccarthy, Ed
ward Blake, Michael Davitt, John Barry,
William O'Brien. j. p. O'Connor and
Alfred Webb. They're meeting in New
York had great deal to do with bring
ing about the good feeling which rem
dered a settlement possible. The Irish
party is determined to present united
front to the enemy and avoid any semb-
lance of dissension when their friends in
this country are contributing SO gener-
ously to the cause of Home Rule.

SPEAKER Crisp the national house

be an extra session Of Congress in Sep
TENDER. In an interview; on the subject
Of the extra session, he says: / have al
ways been in favor OF an extra session
and wanted to see it come right after the
Inauguration. You see we can get a
satisfactory tariff law passed by the end
Of this year if we meet in September and
eend it to the senate after Christmas, and
by this time next year we can have it
safely landed beyond congress. This
would give us plenty Of time to get the
law in full operation before the next
election. It will take some time to get
the benefit # the law realized by the
people and when that is done the advan
tage of such reform will be living

THz Buffalo Express seems to think
that the anti-C Catholic literature now be.

try, informing the people that second

enacted by Catholics, is merely political
clap-trap used by unprincipled men fol
selfish purposes. The Express is right
The false charges circulated against citi-
zens of the Roman Catholic faith eman-
ate from men who do not follow the pre-.
cepts of the gospel of Christ. They are
lying knaves who bear false testimony

CARTER FL. HARRISON will be mayor of
Chicago during the worlds fair. The
press and preachers of the city kept up q
continual warfare on Harrison, and in
spite of their opposition he was elected
last Tuesday by plurality Of 10000.

their pulpits and denounced him in all

clared that the vote of a gambler counted
as much at the polls as the vote Of min
lister. III: was the regular nominee of

makes him mayor for the fourth time.

John Conway, the pugnacious anti-Ca,

come the best citizens of the country
and they did so without abating one jot
or little of the devotion they owed to the
land of their ancestors or of their birth
and the United States had helpled Ire
Land in all her national movements, but
particularly in the movements of the
past fifteen years. Every state in the
Union had put itself on record in favor
of Home Rule, and in the late elections
both the Democratic and Republican
parties had an endorsement of Home
Rule as one plank in their platform, and
yet Mr.. T. w. Russell went over to the
United States, saw few men in Boston,
and came back to declare in an article in
the Fortnightly Review that the United
States were not in favor of Home Rule.
America was not going to desert Ireland
because America bad the fullest conf
dence in the Irish National Party, in Mr..
Gladstone, and in the genial gentleman
and man OF letters who led the Irish
Party.

In the Duluth Witness of last week, q

votes q column in broken English. He
took umbrage at the remarks Of the
Bishop on ST. Patrick's day. He rushed
to his sanctum, seized stub pen in each
hand, and wrote up the affair in two dia-
lects one for the foreigners, the other for
the natives. Metaphorically speaking, he
brayed and snorted, pranced with his
four feet, kicked, reared on his hind feet,
dashed his tail, tapped his ears, charged
and retreated up and down the columns
of the scandia. Along the line Of these
mad antics were strewn in hopeless and
inextricable confusion incoherent and

In recent sermon in this city on the
Catholic question Rev. s. w. Sample
wounded the susceptible feelings OF an
Orange editor by saying: II hold that
the spirit of Jesus Christ requires me to
recognize good fruit wherever l see it..
My hand of fellowship is extended to
every man striving to advance the king
dom of God on eartil, no matter by what
means" The Orange scribe cannot see
any good in the Catholic Church, and
hence his abuse of the liberal minister.
