the Grimm money in behalf of her
daughter, Mrs. Benjam 0. sutton
OF 3l3 Broad street, Newark, N. j.,
Is the direct defendant in the suit
which has been instituted by Samuel
Slater, who claims that she was no,
the legal wife of his father, and
therefore not entitled to any of his
property. The elder Slater died in
February, 1892, leaving an estate
valued at $4,000, of which Mrs
Slater received her dover and $4,000
life insurance.

One of the first results of the wal
between Japan and China is the init
nation that both nations will try te
negotiate loans in England. Meth
er Japan nor China may make much
out Of the war, but the British
,noney-lenders will get clinch on
both nations, and thus the way will
be opened for Great Britain as a
nation to protect British interests
In these countries. This protection
never has any meaning but one, and
it would not be surprising if the war
gave AN opportunity to Great Britain
to obtain a hold in China and

TO PROTECT WILLIAMSPssRT
A Novel Scheme to Keep the
Water Out of Their Civ.

Williamsport is still waiting the
arrival of government engineer
from Washington to tell them how
to protect their city from overflow.
They had a meeting of citizens and
councils committee Tuesday of last
week at which Mr.. Young presided.
He read telegram from Maj. Ray
mond, the government engineer, as
signed to give an opinion in the
matter, announcing that he could
not get Lere before September l.,
but was ready to send an engineer
to do the preliminary work as soon
as he was informed what was wanted.
Mr.. Young was instructed to in.
form Maj. Raymond that thev
wanted advice rs to the most feasible
and economic means CT protecting
Wllliamsport against maximum
floods and are ready to give data
and all required information as soon
as the engineer arrives.
During the evening Mr. Young
said lie had as chairman of the com
mlttee received many suggestions as
to the best means of preventing anv
more big floods, but he would only
report one as the man who offered
it said it was the only one. This
man told Mr.. Young that the thing
to do would be to start at Chesao
peak Bay and dig the channel of
the river ten feet deeper and 100
feet wider as far up as Ulearlield.

IL Is now almost exactly q yeal
since the Fifty-third Congress met
in special session Mt the call of the
President. The Committee on
Ways and Means of the House
started to work on q tariff bill at
once, and prepared the first draft
just before Congress reassembled in
December. II was q monstrous bill
-one that simply assassinated
American industries by the score.
The House took hold of the matter
and managed to improve it con-
siderably, though when it went to
the Senate last February it still was
about as bad as the worst enemy OF
the country could have wished.
The Senate prepared a new bill,
which was bad enough, but was a
distinct advance over the House
bill, in that it recognized industries
north of Mason and Dixon's line
But this would not suit certain
Democrats, who loved their States
better than the Cleveland brand of
Democracy. So practically new
bill was made, which still further
recognized protection with the
knowledge and consent of the Presi-
dent. Then came the deluge.
President Cleveland's letter has
thrown his party into q state of
ferment. 1t has arrayed some of
his strongest supporters against
him and brought his chief enemy to
his defense. Democrat has risen
up against Democrat. The knife is
out. The air is full of mutterings
and threats. The bill was saved
from defeat by the action of the
Populist in refusing to vote, but it
is still in jeopardy.
The Senate insists on its bill again
and the House, while holding out,
shows signs of wavering by talking
OF caucus. So the end seems as
Tar Off as ever. 1t is certain to be
the Senate bill or no bill, and the
President cannot sign it without
stultifying himself. He demands
free coal and iron. A tariff on these
he calls "perfidy and dishonor."
Can he indorse such bill?
10 this condition have we come
at last that the Democratic party,
strongly intrenched in power, can
not carry through a measure which
1t claims to have been overwhelming
ly demanded by the people in 1892.
1T the people ever made such a de-
mand they have repudiated it long
ago and in November will make
another demand of different kind.
If a Tariff bill is not passed within a
few weeks the Mckinley law will
remain in force for the next ten
years.
No such demonstration of the in
competency and dishonesty of Demo.
cracy could have been asked by Re
publicans as the party in power has
shamelessly given the public. The
Democratic party has neither cour-
age nor convictions and is drifting
hopelessly on a stormy sea.
Its first year of power has been
one of absolute failure. Who can
deny it.?

Low Interest Does Not Mean
 Cheap Money.

To refute the charge that our present gold standard money is toe precious and it's purchasing power is too great we are met with the argument that money is very cheap because the rate of iH- terest In New York is very low. The low rate of interest is no sign that money is cheap. Suppose you were to go to a livery stable and ask the proprietor the price of good saddle horse and he should respond ..one dollar day you would think him lunatic. This would not be an answer to your question. From this answer you would conclude that corn and oats were very cheap, but you would get from it no idea of the real value of the horse. To hire a horse with the promise of return ing him is one thing. To buy him is quite a different thing. So to borrow money with a promise to return 1t gives yon no idea of how precious the money is, but if you want 10 get the money to keep it, and you undertake to give something you own in exchange for it, then you have an opportnni- ty to test the value of the money. If you have to give fine saddle horse to get sl00 of mans mon ey, then you have your eyes opp ened to the fact that money is very high, notwithstanding the man might offer to lend it to you at 6 per cent. interest.--Arkansas Press.

Southern Cotton Mills.

The Boston Journal of Com
 merce prints the names, location, capital stock, number of spindles, looms and cards ot Of all the cot ton mills in the south. The list makes nearly three columns in fine type. and embraces about 400 firms. Our contemporary says:
 The large number of concerns engaged in cotton manufacturing Tn the south which 1t shows will no doubt be great surprise to many. It will be noticed that cotton manufacturing has largely ' concentrated in the states ofNorth and South Carolina, and that they are very close rivals of leadership. North Carolina has l42 mills, with 691 ole spindles, l2, l43 looms, L. 994 cards. South Carolina, 62 mills, with 655, ,223 spindles. IT,. no looms, and ,262 cards; Geor- gia, 67 mills, with 536. 769 spin dies, l2, l34 looms anu l.S85 cards. North Carolina leads in the mum. Der of spindles and cards, while South Carolina is T close second in the number ot spindles, and first in the number of looms, and third in the numb Der of mills. Georgia stands second in the num- be-. of m.lis, third in the number 5f spiadles and looms and second in the number of cards.
 The average number of spindles .o mill m South Carolina and 1 ieorgia is more than double that If North Carolina. South Caroli- II has three mills with 50,000 [ pindles and over-the Pacolet I

Manufacturing Company, Peizer Manufacturing Company and Cliff ton; Georgia has on,-the Eagle and Phenix Manufacturing Com pany-w bile the largest umber in North Carolina is 30,000-the Modena cotton mills. In South Carolina there are twelve mills with 10000 10 25.000 spindles, six mills with 9, ,O00 to 50,000, and three with 50,000 to 53,0Q0. In Georgia there are nine mills with 10000 to 25.000 spindIos, six with 25,000 to 50,000, and one of 60,000. North Carolina has four- teen mrlis with from 10000 to D. 900 spindIes, and one of 30,000 spindIcs.
 The Boston paper goes on to say that the increase of cotton manufacturing in the South has been wonderful, and that section is attracting great attention on ac count of it's natural advantages for making the business profitable. The prediction isrepeated that the northern mills will move south or establish branches there, and leave the manufacture of all coarser goods to the southern mills.
 Not day passes that we do not see similar testimony in the north ern papers in regard to the pro- gress aad future prospects of this industry in the south, and with such encouragement we do not see how our people can rest satisfied until they manufacture every pound of their cotton at home. This is the royal road to prosper ity.--Atlanta Constitution.

The Future of Cotton.

There is no doubt at all that the continuance of present price of cotton would bankrupt the Gulf States and very seriousl ly affect the trade balances of the country. They are entirely right, however, who say that it is impossible tor such prices to continue.
 Cotton is below the cost of pro- duction, and there is no hope ofre- ducing cost-at least not in the immediate future.
 The cost of producing wheat has been greatly lowered by i'm proved machinery, but corn pro duction has been much less affect ed and cotton least of all. The actual hand-labor cost of cotton greatly exceeds that of any other crop raised on q large scale in America.
 Itis plain, therefore, that the necessary effect of present prices of cotton will bea marked reduc ton in the acreage. Hill lands, especially where they are at all worn. will have to be put into something else. This will be hard on mortgaged farmers, who can get ready money out of nothing else so easily as cotton, but in the long run it will be great benefit to the cotton States and to the country.
 When the cotton States raise theirown meat and breadstuffs and their own surplus raw they vii occupy rt- spectabIe position m the world of exchange Until then they will be at the mercy of English finan- eiers and mill,owers.-N. J. Worid. 1
