ing in a mental capacity for very
poor wages. 1t is class OF labor,
too, that would readily take to fac
tory work and quickly acquire
skill and become valuable in the
new field. The congestion in the
cities, therefore, would be relieved
speedily by the presence OF more
mills, and Southern communities
almost without exception would
feel marked beneficial effects from
this change, as much as from any
other feature of factory develop
ment.
Boston Journal: Which is the
wiser, the sounder, the more profit
able, the more patriotic plan-to
continue to pay $l00,000,000 a year
to foreign ship owners, and see al
most every dollar o; it lost to us,
or to spend two, three, four or five
million dollars to encourage Amer
lean citizens to carry American
commerce under the American
flag? To the American mind this
question admits Of only one pos.
sible answer.
Buffalo Express: The report of
Consul Meeker at Bradford, Eng
land, shows that the exports of
wooden goods from that city to- the
United States for the month Of
February, 1895, were $l,500,000
greater than for the month of the
February, 1894. This Information
should be read in connection with
Consul Meeker's other report Of the
sale OF two sample cases Of Amer
lean wooden goods in Bradford.
Two Republics: 1t is stated
that there is prospect of fast
fruit train being run once week
between Patzcuaro and this city.
This is gratifying instance of en-
terprise on the part Of the fruit
growers of Michoacan. They have
an abundance Of most delicious
fruit, and IL all will act together,
they should be able to load one
train a week. Besides, with this
train, the fish and game of Lake
Patzcuaro could be brought to this
city.
Norton's Intelligencer: The
democrats of Texas are trying to
organize an honest money faction.
This is commendable, but unprom-
Using; for this party is dead to all
useful and patriotic aspirations.
There is only one way to escape
impending trouble and that is
through the Republican party /;
which, whatever mistakes it may
have made, has always shown it.

ment.
Globe Democrat, st. Louis !:
Three years ago this month Mr..
Cleveland said In speech at Provi-
dence: "The policy OF protection
has congested the Federal Treas.
ury with a worse than useless sur
plus, inviting reckless waste and
extravaganza" The orator was
given chance to apply his reme-
dy, and where is that congestion
now?"
New Orleans States: The
months with the letter r have gone
but the oyster is still with us yet
and very much In evidence. The
oyster plucked from his briny home
when icy blasts were blowing has
been superseded by the summer
oyster and the latter has its patrons
and admirers in such numbers as to
aid very materially to it's destruc-
ton and those dependent upon it.
In New Orleans the summer oyster
is coming to be regarded as much
of a necessity as the summer girl.
We say this with due respect for
the girl.
Galveston News; The joint
convention Of the Tennessee legisal-
ture declared Governor Turney
elected and the victory was cele-
brated by the booming Of artillery.
Nobody who has studied the des-
perate disease of the American
partisan has doubted that party
lines would be followed and that
this result would be reached by a
Turney legislature.
Texas Stockman: The recent
years of drouth in south and
west Texas should prove a valua-
BILE object lesson on the subject OF
irrigation. With plenty of water
for irrigation purposes there would
be no such thing as failure in
this part Of the state. Irrigate.
