According to the Textile World,
of Boston, one hundred and seventy
two mills for the manufacture of
textile goods were erected in this
country last year. These mills were
projected after the election of the
present tariff reform Congress, and
most of them after the Inauguration
of President Cleveland. Twenty
seven of the 90 cotton mills erected
are in the South, North Carolina
leading with IL The total for New
England is Is, all but two of them
being in Massachusetts. Nearly all
of the SO new knitting mills also use
cotton. Most of them are n the
Middle States, the South and West
having, however, Is between them.
There were six cotton batting mills
put up, only one less than in 1892.
And yet our Republican brethren
say that the wooden manufacturers
of this country claim that the Dem
ocracy is going to ruin the wooden
industry.

DISEASED MEAL IN CHICAGO.

Lumpy-Jawcd Cattle Daily SIna Uttered
For the City's Consumption.
CHICAGO, Feb. 2O.-A cancer has been
discovered on the body polite in this
city. The unpleasant revelation is made
that Chicago is daily eating diseased
meat. From 5000 to 10000 head of cat
tie afflicted with that loathsome disease,
lumpy jaw, or actinomycosis, are
slaughtered every year in this city and
the meat consumed here. 1t is found,
after the most exhaustive examination
of the condition of the cattle and meat
trade that the system of municipal and
state inspection is defective, and that the
officers, while conscientious and untiring
ing in their efforts to prevent the
slaughter of diseased cattle, are unable
to check the sharks who ply this nefari-

There is talk of starting morn
ing Democratic daily at Parkers
burg, in the interest of Hon. W. N.
Chancellor, for Governor. The field
of journalism in that city is now
pretty well covered. Mr.. Horner,
with the Sentinel, has one of the best
Democratic dailies in the State, and
if Mr. Chancellor IS really a candi-
date for Governor, we feel satisfied
that the Sentinel will give him its
heartiest support for the nomina-
ton. 1t seems that every time a
Democrat feels piqued at an editor
in his community, his first impulse
is TO start an opposition paper. 1t
is all wrong, and one of the best
means known to divide and keep
the breach in the party wider open.
Better let well enough alone, and
direct attention to uniting the party
in Wood county.

One favorable indication of the

The fact of it is that our products

money to invest. Prices are low

Hawaiians Severely crisicIse the Course
Taken by Our State Department in
Not Talking Part OmcialIy in the Ha-
waiian Fourth OF : July Celebration,
When They Celebrated the First AnnI-
versary of the Overthrow of sronarci,icaI
Government.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 2O.-The president
has submitted to congress another batch
of Hawaiian correspondence. The first
was letter from Minister Willis, In
which he comments upon the patriotic
celebrations taking place in Honolulu
and asks instructions as to whether he
shall take any official notice of them.
Willis says that the Hawaiians have
been commenting severely on the course
taken by the state department, and that
the feeling is intense. Mr.. Willis trans
mits copy of letter written by him to
President Dole. Tins document is very
lengthy and is in reply to that received
from N Mr. Dole, which has been already
published. =
In this letter to the presidentufi the
provisional government Mr.. Willis.
stated that the purpose of the United
States war vessels in Hawaiian waters
was friendly.
Mr.. Willis thinks that that partof Mr..
Dole's letter attributing the responsible
ty for recent disturbances to him
(Willis) was unjust, and processes the
greatest friendship for the people of the
islands.
Minister Willis goes into a pro-
longed explanation of his attitude
and that of the American war
ships; of the troops landing in Homo
lulu to drill; of his announcement
that the United States troops would pre-
vent injury to the queen, or. rather,
''lnob violence of the warlike move
1nents on board the ships; of the stoppage
of shore leave to the crews; of every
thing, in fact, that alarmed the Ha-
waiians during the troublous days.
He quotes Admiral Irwin in substantial
ton. Minister Willis assures President
Dole that it was never intended to use
force, and that he never inti1nated any
thing of the kind
Mr.. Willis correspondence closes with
notice of his draft for salary ON Jan. 3.

AN ORDER TO PRIESTS.
Archbishop Ilain on Catholic children in

Archbishop hitn on Catholic Children in
Public Schools.
ST.. LOUIS, Feb. archbishop Kahn
has created stir among Catholics by a
letter to the clergy, wherein he expresses
the desire that the Cathode children who
attend the public schools be prepared for
their first communion by their parish
priests. For years, it is asserted, some
of the clergy have used coerciye meas
ures to force Catholic children out of the
public schools into tine parish schools.
The most potent means was to refuse
to instruct the children for their first
communion unless they went to the
parochial school for two years, Many
parents succumbed to this religious
ostracism. and took their children from
the public schools. If they persisted in
sending their children to the free insti-
tutions of learning they either did not
have them make their first communion
or they sent for instructions in another
parish. where the priests had no par och
ial schools and. therefore, were not .op-
posed to the public Schools

Many protectionists hold out the
idea that every dollars worth of
goods imported would reduce pro-
duction here just that much. Does
any person for a moment believe
that it is wise for us to destroy our
foreign trade altogether-to con-
sumo our own productions behind a
Chinese wall of prohibition? We
cannot export unless we import.
To-day our wheat is the lowest ever
known, simply because foreign
countries are not buying of us but
go to India, Russia and other coun-
tries that are purchasing goods of
them. You may say they will have
to buy of US, but they will only do
SO when we buy of them. We're
we to import nothing, and
continue to export at our pres
ent rate, receiving gold in return, it
would not be but a few years at
furthest until we would have all
the gold in the world. Such a
result is an absurdity. As nation
we must import practically as much
as we export, and in doing this
every dollars worth of wealth i'm
ported represents a dollars worth
to be exported. And since Amer
lean labor produces the exports,
freer trade will benefit labor. The
workingman is the one to be bene-
flied by a reduction of the tariff.
