H.F. Farnham said yesterday that if
the New Eng land fair is to be held here
considerable money mustibe raised. The
management and Portland business men
must provide the money for the erection
of the necessary sheds and the doing OF
the extra grading, and they must also
help out on the exhibit at City hall. Of
co urse the management would be
obliged to considerable extent to
depend upon local exhibitors. The Rigby
management is now canyassing the city
to see what business IN en- are willing to
do
1t is important to know at once how
far people are interested in having the
New England fair held here. To provide
sheds for the cattle, sheep and swine, to
to meet other necessary expenditures,
will call for from $4,000 TO $4,000. 1t
will also be necessary to ascertain at
what rate the City hail can be secured
during the fair week. A communication
will be sent to the trustees of the New
huR lauu IdIf uOuag Ny uuo hlSOS hA"Ai
agement So far there has not been that
ready response that was looked for, and
it is felt that if the fair is to be held
here there must be some movement at
once to raise the necessary money.
II do not think" SAID Mr.. Farnham
yesterday, that the business men of
this city appreciate the great advantages
of having the New England fair held
here. If any arrangement is made it
will be Cor two years, and once estab-
ished at Rigby and Portland. the fair
would be likely to remain swith us. 1T
would mean the calling of many thou
sand people to Portland, and the advan-
tage to the business men of the city
would be very great. I hope to see an
immediate manifestation of public in
terest on the subject.
Another gentleman who had been
sounding business men on the subject of
the fair, and the necessity of raising
money to pay the necessary bills, said:
"There's good deal too much holding
back on the part of those who should be
ready to help it out. Too many are ready
to say, See somebody else and then
come hack to me- What we need is to
see few business men heartily in earn

matter

The movement OF cotton manufacturers
from New England 70 the south has
not only begun. but is assuming such pro-
| portions as TO justify the opinion that
before many years the greater part OF
the cotton manufacturing OF this country
will be carried on in the south. There
has been a good deal Of talk about this
movement. and there promises to be a
great deal more. Il is certain that Il
will not end. as some OF the New England
people hope It will. in talk.
A number Of Bridgeport, Conn. manu-
facturers are now in Greensboro, y. G.
selecting a site for a cotton factory, and
a committee Of Providence. r. l.. manu-
facturers is in that state for the same
purpose The big factory that is being
built at Gadsden. Ala. for the Dwight
Manufacturing Company Of Massachu-
sets is progressing rapidly, and it is uu-
derstood that it viii be ready for occupa-
ticn in the early part OF June Announce
ment is made Of big cotton mill that is
TO be erected in Robinson, n. c., and the
mill at Henderson, Ky. is being greatly
enlarged. The mills at Louisville, KY,
are being enlarged and new and improved
machinery is being put into them, and it
is rumored that five new mills are to 5e
erected at Greenvlle. S. c., and a very
large one at Walhalla in the same state
These are only few of the cotton
mills that are being built or are projected.
There is enough OF them in the list how
ever, to show that there is no doubt that
the movement of the cotton manufaetur-
ing industry from New England to the
south is not all talk
The New England cotton manufacturers
are men who are accustomed to look
ahead. This they are doing now. The
conclusion they have reached is that
the south is the natural location for cot
ton manufacturing and that those who
are the first to recognize that fact and
act upon IT will be the ones who viii
reap the greatest reward.
In the meantime it is to be hoped that
the committee which is charged with
the duty of assisting in getting factories
for this city is not idle. 1t can do a
great deal toward helping Savannah in
this respect and If its efforts are sue
cessful 1T is certain its work will be
appreciated.

One of the reports afloat in Washington
in connection with the refusal Of congress
to appropriate s425, 900 to settle in full
the Boring sea claims is that the repub-
lican congressman voted against the ap-
preparation. thus securing its defeat, be-
cause they want to use the Boring sea
affair for campaign purposes in the next
presidential contest II the appropria-
ton had been made the affair would have
been closed, and taken out of politics.
In a Washington dispatch to the Chi
cago Times-Herald. Representative Ding
ley is quoted as saying that Secretary
Gresham was wholly right in contend
ing that the ultimate cost to the govern
ment is sure to be much larger than the
sum proposed by the state department,
and which the British government was
willing to accept.
The British minister at Washington is
now engaged in filing Boring sea claims
which a commission will have to pass
upon. Among the claims are those of
British seamen who were arrested in
Boring sea by United States revenue
agents. 1t is alleged that these claims
alone amount to more than $500, 900, and
they were not included in the amount
which Secretary Gresham and the Brit
ish government agreed should be a fun
settlement of all the claims.
1t is probable that some of the claims
included IN the amount agreed to by
Secretary Gresham will not be allowed
by a commission. In fact, 1t is said they
are owned by Americans. who, of course,
are not entitled to damages, but the
chances are that the cost of a commits
sion, together with the claims that are
certain to be allowed, will amount to far
more than the sum agreed upon as sat
isfactory by Secretary Gresham and the
British government. If it be true that
republicans voted against the Gresham
settlement with the view of keeping the
claims unsettled for political purposes
the fact ought to be known. A party that
would make political capital at the ex-
pense of the people is not entitled to
their confidence.

The New York Journal of Commerce is
unnecessarily disturbed about the credit
of this state. In commenting on the letter
which Gov. Atkinson recently wrote to
Controller General Wright, inquiring as
to the investments in Georgia state bonds
and in loans in Georgia by fire and life
insurance companies doing business in
Georgia. it says: This effort to coerce
life and fire companies into buying Geor-
gia bonds will do much to hurt the
credit of the state, and it is inexpllca-
bic that such cheap politics should gov
ern and influence the mind of a public
officer in discharging so important a
duty as is indicated by Gov. Atkinson"
What is it that Gov. Atkinson sug-.
gested in his letter? Why. nothing more
than that Georgia and her citizens should
favor those life and fire insurance com
panies in their business affairs which ap-
pear to be the most kindly disposed to
Georgia and her people. While the policy
indicated by Gov. Atkinson is a little I'M
usual it cannot be regarded as irregular
in any respect. We do not see what
the Journal of Commerce has to complain
of. The governor does not propose that
action of any kind shall be taken against
any insurance company. He simply throws
out the intimation that the fire and life
insurance companies that lend Georgia
and her people helping hand should he
given the preference by them. An init
nation of that sort can hardly be said
to amount to a policy of coercion.

A Key West special to the Herald says
that the newspapers of Cuba are ridicul-
ing the demand of our government for an
apology for the firing upon the Alliance
by Spanish warship. The way they put
it is that a rupture between the United
States and Spain would result disastrous
ly to the former, owing to the superior
forces of Spain. They will change their
tone before long. They may be sincere in
what they say, not knowing anything of
the relative strength of the two countries.
Shut up on their island, and knowing little
of what is going on in the rest of the world
they may believe that Spain is really
great power. When Spain apologies,
which she will undoubtedly do, unless it
appears by further investigation that her
cruiser was right in firing on the Alliance,
their bombastic editorials will be replaced
by articles having a closer relation to
truth and common sense.
1t really begins to look as II the Span
iards in Cuba would soon have enough TO
do to take care of the insurgents. and
would have no time, or even inclination, to
point out that Spain would find 1t an easy
job to whip this country. The cause of the
insurgents is prospecting apparently. and if
it is sustained with skill and vigor, Spain
will have to send many more troops to
Cuba before she can hope to restore her
authority in all parts Of the island. There
is no question as to what Spain's chances
would be in a contest with this country,
but there is an interesting question as to
whether Spain can retain her hold on
Cuba.

Maj. Hanson of Macon is a protection
ist. And he believes in protection that
protects, not the kind that is an iridescent
dream. Therefore, when he gives his
countenance and support to a scheme
in which protection is promised. he wants
protection. and if he doesn't get it he is
going to kick. The majors law suit, the
beginning of which was reported in our
dispatches yesterday, is in the line of his
faith. At the same time, it may be
apropos to observe that there are certain
kinds of protection which do not protect,
just as there are certain kinds of prohi-
bition which do not prohibit. Examples
in proof Of this proposition might be
drawn from the Mckinley law in opera
ton. But we take 1t the major has been
convinced Of the truth Of the proposition,
and will admit its correctness without the

jor's suit, by the way. win afford an OBJ

lection may be expected and legally ex-
acted In certain cases.
