Looking Towards the south.

The signs are increasing that the cotton
mill owners of the north are looking
towards the south as the coming cotton
manufacturing section OF the country
In the New England trade papers articles
are appearing in which it is pointed out
that the higher grades Of cotton fabrics
as well as the lower can be manufactured
cheaper in the south than elsewhere.
And capitalists having money to invest in
cotton mills are taking this view OF the
matter % -. .'.sy-. ---.t.
Few are aware Of the steady increase
in the number Of cotton manufacturing
plants in the south. And those that are
intelligently managed pay handsome
return on the capital invested in them.
The paper mills at Bath, S. G. are to be
turned into cotton factory having cap
ital of 100000, and those who have
agreed to furnish the money are northern
men. They have studied the cotton man
ufacturing situation carefully, and have
made up their minds that the south is
going to be the center Of the cotton manu-
featuring industry
The southern people are not generally
aware Of the extent to which the cotton
manufacturers Of the north have been in
vestigating the advantages of the south
for manufacturing purposes. The mills
that are now being erected are not
dependent upon southern capital.
They are being established almost
wholly by northern capital. The north
ern capitalists have discovered that they
can depend upon semi-annual dividends of
4per cent. upon money invested in south
ern cotton mills. They can find oinvest-
ment in the north as good as that, and
consequently they are, to q much greater
extent than ever before, sending money
to the south TO be invested in cotton man
ufacturing.

why Should willi. Be Reoalledf

The New York World says the presence
Of Minister Willis in Honolulu is q per-
petual menace and wrong TO the Hawaii
an government and that he should be re-
called at once. It looks very much as IL
the World was trying 10 dictate the pol
icy OF the administration. The state
ment that the presence of Minister Willis
in Honolulu is a perpetual menace and
wrong to President Dole's government is
not worth serious consideration. If it
were true his recall would be asked by
President Dole at once. The World is
altogether too anxious to make sugges-
tions relative to the welfare and peace of
mind of President Dole. That gentleman
is capable Of taking care OF himself and
the interests of his government.
As matter Of fact, Minister Willis has
done nothing TO justify a suspicion that he
has any hostility to the Hawaiian govern
ment- He was sent 20 Hawaii TO restore
Queen Liliuo&slsni by peaceful means, il
possible He asked the deposed queen to
announce that she would grant amnesty
to the revolutionists in the event of her
restoration. At first she declined to do
this, but on reflection she made the an
nouncement, and then the provisional
government was requested to resign. 1t
declined to comply with the request,
and there the efforts to restore
the queen ended. There is no evidence
that Minister Willis is hostile to the
provisional government, or that he has
done anything at which the provisional
government has right to feel aggrieved,
so far as he is concerned.
It is not likely that President Dole will
ask for Minister Willis recall, or that he
will be recalled. He has followed the in
structions given him by our government,
and if the provisional government feels
that it has grievance the grievance is
not against Minister Willis, but the gov
eminent Of this country.

santonine Puzzled Them,

There was considerable talk OF throwing
the tariff bill into caucus and amending and
improving it in the course OF a session lasting
two or three hours, said a member OF the
ways and means committee to Washington
Post man. "A little incident that occurred
while the subcommittee was fixing up the
chemical schedule will illustrate the labor in
VolVed in making up tariff bill. There were
before the subcommittee at the time copies
OF the tari1 act of 1883, OF the Mills bill and OF
the Mckinley law. In comparing them the
members came to the item Of santonine One
suggested that the rate be fixed at one figure.
another that it be fixed at another figure
Finally they took vote on it, two voting one

Tarsney, OF Missouri, who was reading a
paper which he was holding up before his
face IN suspicious manner, had not voted.
they appealed to him for a decision
"Tarsney lowered his paper, and, after a
moments profound reflection, said; To tell
the truth, gentlemen, santonine is beyond me.
l must confess my ignorance of what it
means. Explain it to me- he added, address,

'Bynum cleared his throat hemmed and

curious race war. 1t is an extensive man.
ufacturing district, and a large number of
whites and blacks are employed there. A
great many whites have gone there re-
Gently, although owing to the hard times
the demand for labor has fallen off.
The whites have served the mill owners
with notices that they must discharge all
their black employees and put white men
in their places. The mill owners natur-
ally objected, saying they have a right to
employ whom they please.
Some of the blacks have been discharged
because their employers were afraid to
keep them, and these blacks have
armed themselves and threaten to make
war upon the white intimidators. There
is not much alarm, however, on account
of this demonstration. What the mill
owners are afraid of is, that the dissatis-
fed whites will carry out their threat to
burn all the mills in the place unless their
demand is complied with.
The governor of the state has an
nounoed his purpose to put down the law
less element even if he has to call out the
state troops He will not tolerate such a
condition of AFFAIRS as exists at Black
Rock and has taken steps to enforce the
Law.
Hewill, of course, compel the lawless
element to respect the law, but he may
not succeed in doing so without the use
Of force. He ought not to hesitate to use
force. If he should show weakness in
this instance there would, in all proba-
biilty, be similar lawlessness in other
parts of the state. He should make an
example at Black Rock that would be
warning to the lawless elsewhere in his
jurisdiction.

The New York World has looked up the
records and finds that the first case of
filibustering occurred when Julius Caesar
returned TO Rome and was candidate for
the consulship. He had majority of the
Senate, but small minority, led by Cato,
talked all day, all night, all day the next
day, and, as the Roman Senate had no
closure, would have continued to talk
until the minority had their way of pro-
ceeding to business. Finally, Caesars
friends backed down. Caesar gave up,
and was finally elected" Julius Cesar
Burrows, of Michigan, might do well to
keep in mind the lesson Of this historic
attempt to subvert the popular will-that
the people won't stand it.

An organization of the unemployed in
Cincinnati Is called the "Willing Work
ers.,' The associated charities society
of that city few days ago informed the
willing Workers" that work would be
provided for a number of men and paid
for at the rate of 81 a day. The offer
was fatty refused and the associated
charities informed that the ''willing
Workers would accept situations at Is
cents an hour, and not cent less. They
based their action on the high ground
that they could not do anything that
would tend to lower the workingman's
wages. Meantime they remain a part of
the army of unemployed, for whom
charityis being asked.

1t seems that the long-looked for and
confidently predicted rupture in the "re-
form" party in South Carolina is at hand
The "reformers" are divided into two
factions, led by Senator Irby and Con-
gresham Shell respectively. The sena-
tor charges the congressman with treason
to the movement" and the congressman
charges the senator with tyranny. Irby
is backed by the so-called democratic
state executive committee and farmers
alliance in Laurens county. Shell is
backed by what Irby calls "the state
house ring" and the third party editor of
the alliance newspaper organ. The milk
in the cocoanut, however, is patronage
The offices having all been taken up,
there is no more pap to be dispensed to
the ''reformers' who control voting pre-
cincts, and the senator and the congress
man are each trying to push the other of
the reform" band wagon in order to
make room for certain of his partisans,
who, from long hunger for office, have
grown voracious. Gov. Tillman, for once
in his life, is neutral he wants to go to
the Senate and is afraid to antagonize
either of the factions, inasmuch as he
sees no way to wipe the faction he might
oppose out of existence.

The present internal. revenue tax on
cigarettes is 80 cents thousand. The
Wilson bill proposes to raise the tax to
$l.50 thousand. The amendment offered
by Mr.. Wilson in the House, day before
yesterday, defining cigarettes wrapped
in paper" will not materially affect the
provisions of the paragraph. At Rich
mond, the headquarters of the cigarette
industry in this country, vociferous
protest is going up against the proposed
increase The country at large, however,
will sustain the tax. The cigarette is in
every sense luxury, a very harmful one
at that and should be taxed to the limit
it would stand. Talking about the cigar
cite, by the way, it is interesting to note
that up in Massachusetts they now spell
it "cigaret."
