GOVERNOR MCKINLEY, in his message
10 the Ohio Legislature, recommends a
short session and as little legislation as
possible. If the governor had shown as
great wisdom during his career in con-
gress as he did in the above suggestion.
the country might not be experiencing
the business staguation now prevalent in
every branch of trade. But happily
confidence is gradually returning. the
mills are starting up, and the new year
starts with the prospect of being the
most prosperous in the history of the
country

WHILE bill is pending in congress
for the admission of Utah into the I'm
ion, with every probability that it will
pass both Houses and become law,
another bill has been introduced materi-
ally modifying the new state situation
10y anncxing Utah to Nevada, and thus
making the latter state consist of its
present limits with Utah added, with
population in round numbers of 800,
600, OF which 200. 600 would be in Utah
and 10000 in Nevada. and an area Of
195, ,OOO, square miles, of which $1,000
would bc in Utah and 1Iu, 900 in Ne
vada. 1t Is probable, says the Pittsburg
Post, that this bill will pass, even were
its constitutionality admitted, in the
face Of opposition from either Utah or
Nevada. Utah has just claims to come
in as a state, and il would be harsh
treatment to compel her to accept Ne
vada : state organization, name and sen
ators in congress. 1t would he an at
tempt to punish prosperous Utah for the
blunder of admitting Nevada with in
sufficient population % years ago.
The history of Nevada is striking in
one particular. 1t Is the only American
state that has decreased in wealth and
population the last decade. When the
state was the great silver producing re
gion of the world few of her inhabitants
troubled themselves about her future.
In 1875 she produced more than S4O.-
| GOO, 600 of gold and silver. BY 1850 her
production was reduced to Sl7.3OO, 900.
and by 1890 to -, 600, 900. The census
of 1890 showed she had lost more than
% per cent of her population in the
preceding decade. Her assessed wealth
had greatly decreased, and in every i'm
portant respect she was poorer than when
she entered the Union in 1869. Her
population is now 100, 900 below the
ratio of population to a congressional
district.
There is some respect that in the flu
ture, by irrigation, which is cheaper
there than in any western state, Nevada
may develop agricultural wealth. \ few
river valleys are productive under pres
ent conditions, and of the l 400 farms
in the state l 200 are irrigated in whole
or in part. On such farms the yield is
marvellous, and shows the possibilities of
developing the arid soil. The climate of
the state makes possible great variety
of agricultural and fruit products. Its
area of more than 100, 900 square miles
extends from the latitude of Spartans-
burg, ). c., to that of Hartford, Conn.
Nevada has one advantage that many
agricultural states have only imperfectly,
and that Is a complete railroad system,
inherited from the days of her silver
granduer.

THE Republican state convention con-
vened at Harrisburg on Wednesday to
nominate a successor to the late General
William Lilly ms congressman at large,
and Gallusha \. Grow was chosen by ac-
clamation as the party nominee. The
nomination, of course, is equivalent to
election. Mr.. Grow started in public life
as Democratic tariff reformer and pro-
tege of David Wilmot who held the
same faith. He voted for the tariff Of
1857, the nearest approach to free trade
the country has ever had. In some Of
Mr.. Grows earlier speeches, if we are
not greatly mistaken, there is sound
tariff doctrine. That was when he called
himself Democrat.

WE have gone through the valley of
business dependency, says the Philadel-
phia Times, and with the opening OF the
new year there Is every prospect OF re-
vived commerce, industry and trade, If
congress shall promptly discharge its du-
ty.
Business Is waiting for congress, and
every business man who urges delay in
the revision of the tariff and in the
adoption of a sound financial policy
urges the continuance of business de
preston, which always carries with 1t
want to the laborer. Tariff revision Is
demanded by an overwhelming majority
of the American people In the two
great national contests of 1890 and 1892
the people expressed themselves for tax
reduction 10y tariff revision with unex-
ampled emphasis. Itisa command that
must be obeyed,
While tax reduction on the necesSarics
of business and of life is an imperious
necessity, the supply of revenue sutii-
cient to meet the expenses of the gov
eminent is a like necessity that congress
must respect, and the way to provide
revenue Is to do it 10y the manifest
methods possible.
Stop fooling about an income tax. 1t
will not pass both Houses of congress,
however earnestly urged, and it would
not pass the approval of 1.-THE country.
tax in time of peace must become a sui.
| eide.
The short and easy way to supply
most, if not all, the revenue needed Is tC
restore a tax of one cent per pound on
refined sugar, with eight mills per pound
on raw sugar and repeal the sugar bOuu-
| ty. We are now paying one-half cent
/ per pound on refined sugar and over
| so, 600, 600 of bounty. The addition
of half cent per pound and the repea
of the sugar bounty would give the
treasury nearly or entirely the amount OF
additional revenue needed without per
ceptibiity increasing taxation upon the
people.
No party can afford to daily with &
bankrupt treasury, no matter what party
or what cause may have produced it
The national credit Is sacred and must be
scrupuIously maintained. The present
treasury deficit is caused solely by the
prohigacy of the Republican party, but
the faith of the government must be
fulfilled, the expenditures must be met,
and it is no grave task to adjust ouI
tariff and internal revenue laws to sup
ply all that is needed.
Above all let congress bear in mind
that business is waiting for its action,
and if there shall be delay in the restor-
alton of business prosperity it must be
| because Of wauton delay in congress to
enact the laws clearly demanded by the
sovereign power of the nation.

APOlMTER-
A Move on the part of Mas
sacFusSetts Mill Owners TO
Invade the Southern Cotton
Fields in self defense.

We were recently handed an extract
from Northern paper which appears
to indicate a coming movement on the
part of some of the mill owners of
Massachusetts to extend their business
by invading the Southern cotton fields,
and establishing mills in this section
the coarser grades of goods, as they
now fnd that under the competition OF
Southern mills their profits on coarse
cottons are greatly and rapidly dimin-
ishing. Of course, these same COM
panies that are talking of branching
out IN the South will continue their
millsl at the North and East on the
finer glasses of cottons, as in these
lines the Southern factories are not
competing with them.
One of the mills at Lowell, Mass.
has made application TO the Legisla-
ture for permission to increase its
capital stock from S1.S00,000 to $3,-
000,0W and one of the objects in ask
ing for this increase. as testified by
the president of the company, was to
erect i mill somewhere in the South,
as the discrimination against North
ern manufactures by reason OF the
high freight rates on the raw product
,,aJols4 ,>ocof;ya +r, b,,i1d n ,a,r ,,,;l1
for the manufacture of the coarser
grade of goods in locality where the
raw material can be more cheaply OBJ
tanned The exact location has not
been determined, that being matter
, for consideration when the desired in
crease OF capital has been granted.
This seems to establish beyond doubt
the purpose of the company to branch
out Southwark.
A move of this sort is in the natur-
! al course of events, and must be re-
garded as wise policy. 1t is an
pnmi1 aI6aR|s recognition of the fact
Ythat the 56sll offers superior advan-
tages for the manufacture Of cotton
goods. A successful move like this
on the part of one great New England
manufacturing company will be q
powerful factor in inducing similar
action on the part of many other
Northern mills. The cotton manufac-
turing industry of the South is at
| present in one of it's most interesting
phasese. The industry is growing
rapidly, and every tendency is towards
the use of better machinery and the
production of higher grades Of goods. =

Education is one OF the most impor-

In the first place, reading is a most
interesting and pleasant method of
occupying our leisure hours. All the
young people have, or may have time
to read and inform their minds. The
difficulty there is, they are not careful,
and watchful enough to impress upon
their memory what they are reading.
Their hours of leisure are either idled
away, or talked away, or spent in
some other equally as bad habit, and
then they complain and say ssthey
