The Philadelphia Times says: The
growth of many of the textile industries
during 1892 was marked. The summary
of new mills for 1892 shows a total of
272, with combined list of employees
OF 31,500. In other words assuming
that none of the new textile mills were
erected to replace those destroyed by fire
or abandoned for other causes, 81, 500
new employees were set to work, and the
productive textile capacity of the coun-
try was increased seven per cent. An
examination of the statistics showing the
textile growth of the year reveal some
interesting facts, the first of which is
that there were seventy three new cotton
mills employing Is, 900 hands. The
new cotton mills do not number one
half the total of new mills erected, but
the mills were of greater capacity than
in any other branch of the textile trade,
thus absorbing one-half of the new Ia
Dor employed. Massachusetts erected
nineteen new cotton mills, employing
5775 hands. The next greatest in.
crease was in the South, North Carolina
building sixteen new mills. employing
1885 new hands, South Carolina eleven
new mills, with 2040 emplc yes, Georgia
FIVE new mills, with $40 hands, and Ala
bama four, with 740. New York and
Pennsylvania built three new mills each.
Connecticut two, and Illinois, Indiana,
Maine, New Hampshire, New jersey,
Rhode Island, Tennessee, Texas, Yer
mont and West Virginia each one.
There were forty-nin new woolen and
ninety-three new knitting mills erected,
the first employing $500 and the second
$500 new hands. Massachusetts, leads
with eight, Maine follows with seven
and Pennsylvania third with six new
woolen mills. The South does moi
figure much in the new wooden industry,
Kentucky with three and Missouri with
two mills being the only Southern States
represented. OF the ninety-three new
knitting mills Pennsylvania furnishes
thirty-two, or more than one-third; New
York, twenty, and the rest distributed
among twenty-five other States. Silk
figures fourth in the list of new plants
to the extent of twenty-on new mills,
the majority of which are in New York,
New jersey and Pennsylvania, with
Paterson, N. j., as the center of the in
dustry, both old and new. In the mis-
cellaneous' list are six new plush mills
six making shoddy, seven cotton batting
three linen, three lace, two upholstery
nd two gimp and dress trimming (al
four in Philadelphia), and a scattering
list. including dye, bleaching, jute, bag
ging and few others. New England
Pennsylvania and the South seem to bs
the most prosperous manufacturing sec
tions, if the erection OF new plants fol
manufactures can be accepted As an In
dex of prosperity.

The British and Foreign Bible Society
has printed the Bible in 200 languages
and dialects other than those mentioned
in the above list, including two dozen
native African dialects, and including
every Nation in Europe, ASIA, Africa
and Australasia.
Here is the first verse of the first
chapter of the Lamentations Of jeremiah
from the English Bible:
How doth the city sit solitary that was
full of people! How is she become a widow
She that was great among the Nations and
Princess among the provinces, how is she
become tributary!
Translated phonetically into the lam
guage of the Gilbert Islands and set up in
Roman type, the above verse reads as
follows:
Ia tekateka kama te kawa nj kamaroa, ae
on irouia aomatal
e a riki kama aine ae mate bunal
Neie kakanato buakoia botanaomata, ae
to toka buakon aba aka burawinti.
e a riki kama n te tia ananabai nakon to
ueal
The verse in the Gilbert Island tongue
is printed after the manner of poetry.
The old King James version of the
Scriptures treated the Lamentations as
prose. The Gilbert Island word for
Jeremiah is Ieremia, and the word for
Lamentations is Balbaeti. The Book of
the Prophet Ezekiel becomes, in that
language, Ana Bokl te Burabeli Eteki-
era. Jehovah is the way they pronounce
Jehovah In the Gilbert Islands.
For the missions in the Pacific Ocean
which are under the care of the Ameri-

Genises and Exodus of tho Old Testa-
ment in the Ruk language spelled pho
netically in English. The edition will

To All Arkansas Applicants for the
Texarkana Postoffice.

In the light of recent exents, and
that the people may at least have two
evils from which to choose, / have
concluded to yield to the demands OF
my friends, and make application for
the appointment of Postmaster at
Texarkana, Arkansas.
In order that all doubts may be re-
moved as to the will of the people,
and to relieve the President and our
Congressman of any uncertainty as to
their choice, respectfully submit to
all Arkansas applicants the following
propositions, to-wit:
1st, That the matter be submitted
to the people by primary elections,
said election to be held strictly in ac-
cordance with the Australian system
of balloting, each applicant to have
the right to participate in the selec-
ton Of both judges and clerks of the
election.
End, That any applicant voted for
at said election, shall have the right
to contest on the following grounds,
to-wit: Illegal voting, intimidation, a
violation of the rules under which
said election is held, or on account of
any manner of fraud, perpetrated at
any one of the polling places, each
polling place to stand on its own
merits and contests to apply only to
the votes Illegally cast.
Sd, In case of contest, the matter
to be adjudicated by commission, to
be selected by the applicants, each ap-
plicant to have the right to name one
member of the commission. and If the
number so selected shall be odd, then
that shall be the commission to hear
and determine all contests; but if the
commission chosen by the applicants
shall be of even number, the commits
sion as chosed by the applicants, shall
select the odd man.
These terms and conditions being
accepted by other applicants, or any
other terms or conditions that VIII in
sure an honest expression and promul-
cation Of the will of the people, I will
submit my claims
First, To the vote Of The Democrat
ic patrons of the Texarkana office.
Second, To vote Of the Demo-
cratic party of Miller county.
Third, 70 vote oil the entire pat
ronage of the Texarkana Office, ire
spective of party.
Fourth, To vote Of the entire
voting population Of the county, ire
spective Of party.
All Of these propositions referring
solely to Arkansas, and leaving my
opponents free to make their own Sc
lection. Very Respectfully,
w. R. KELLEY.
Daily Texarkana Democrat., 1893-02-28

In another place Col. w. II. Kelly
announces himself as an applicant for
the Office of postmaster. He submits
number OF propositions to any other
aspirants, by the primary election plan.
We favor primaries where feasible
and properly conducted. Our Con-
gressman, Hon. Thos. g. McRae, we
learn on good authority, says he will
not recommend anybody voted for in
primary, unless he receives clear
majority Of the votes cast, end If this
is not obtained In one primary, another
and another must be held until such
majority is received by some candl-
date. As there would be four or more
aspirants in primary, itseems an inter-
minable contest would arise, hence we
think IL not feasible. The right OF
petition is as sacred as that of the
ballot, and we think matter can best
be settled by this method.

Settled at Last.

The bitter contest which has been
waged between the Republican and
Populist factions of the Kansas Legis-
lature has been adjusted at last and
the two bodies which for weeks past
have been warning upon each other
are now working together quietly, il
not harmoniously. This result was
brought about by the decision of the
State supreme court of Kansas, which
declared the Republican organization
legal and that of the Populists Illegal.
This action ON the part of the highest
tribunal in the State, while severely
criticised, was necessarily final, and
there was nothing left for the Popu-
list members to do but to accept the
ruling of the court and submit to its
decree.

Missouri Follows Suit.

The act of the Arkansas Legislature
in passing what is known as the fell
low servants bill, has been followed
by like measure, though more
sweeping in its tenure, in the Legisla-
ture of Missouri, where the bill passed
both houses by handsome majorities
and is certain of receiving the approv-
al of the Governor. In Illinois the
Legislature has gone even farther and
is now considering q measure which
provides for the repeal of the entire
law which exempts railway companies
from responsibility for the death or
injury of its employees, where the same
is caused by negligence on the part of
fellow servants of the person so killed
or injured.

ANOTHER HOLD UP.

Last night Frank Rose, q young
man who has been in the employ of
the News Co., was held up and rob-
bed ofa gold watch, some jewelry
and $S5 in money, on Front street
near the Cotton Belt depot. II was
near 10 O'Clock and the highwayman
pretended he was a United Slates off,
GER, and arrested Rose as supposed
fugitive criminal, and after the rob-
berry turned him loose. Rose then
hunted up the officers and search
for the rascal was made without
success.
Young Rose stated yesterday to of
6cers that he was held up and robbed
of S65, gold watch and overcoat at
Fort Worth last week. 1t is rather
strange that he should be "taken in" 50
often, to say the least of it.

The Indians pistanced.

For years the idea has prevailed
and the belief been strengthened, that
of all tribes or nations of the earth,
the North American Indian and his
half brother, the Mexican Peon, far
surpasses all competitors in the art of
perfect horsemanship. Not as it is
taught in the fashionable schools for
enquestrianism IN the e1fete east, but
as the art comes to man in its natural
State. Investigation on the subject
proves several nations or peoples more
or less perfect in this particular ac-
complishment. But not one perhaps
equals, or even rivals the moorish
horsemen, whose feats Of horseman-
ship are thus described:
Returning along the dunes aud beach
one afternoon, after muleback ride
TO the ruins of ancient Tingis, when
within about mile ofthe town, Sedm,
who had been silently riding ahead,
suddenly turned, and, pointing TO-
ward the city, laconically exclaimed,
"Powder Play" Following the direc-
tion indicated we perceived score Of
horsemen careering down the beach
like mad, their horses scamperinP
about like young dogs just unclaimed.
In moment they are close to us, they
seem glued to their horses, so easily
and gracefully do they ride--now
leaning far over to one side, now
throwing themselves backward fiat
upon the horses croup--discharging
their long, old-fashioned guns before
them, behind them, or into the air;
now standing erect in the stirrups,
brandishing the ungainly weapons
above their heads Or tossing them in
to the air and grasping them again as
they fall.
Helter-skelter, pell-mell, in "devil-
cacth- th-the-hindmost confusion--their
horses, with outstretched necks and
nerves, darting forward, lightly leap
ing gullies and distractions, or gallop-
ing in the shallow water at the edge
Of the surf their beating hoofs dash
ing IL into spray. Suddenly hating,
turning, swerving, and off and away
again like startled flock of wild
geese--the long white burnooses Of
the riders 1uttering violently in the
wind. That is "play.p What must
be their "work' in the heat OF battle
and hatred Of war?
