Mr. John T. Patrick, of the Southern
Interstate immigration and Industrial
Association, was quoted IN our dispatch
es yesterday as having told the cotton
mill men of New England that that sec
ton had nothing to fear" in so far as
the finer goods were concerned. from the
movement of cotton mills to the south,
so long as New England controlled the
market for the highest skilled labor, and
because there is in the south no such
high skilled labor. He also said something
about climatic disadvantages" in the
south in connection with making fine
goods. 1t may have been Mr. Patricks
purpose to soothe the agitation of New
England, or else there was a hiatus in
the report of his remarks. Fine cotton
goods are already being made in the
south, and nothing in the climate has been
found to interfere with the quality of the
goods AS to the skilled labor necessary
TO the operation of such factories, there
would be little, if any. difficulty expe-
rienced in obtaining as much of it as
might be wanted. There is a quantity
of such labor idle. or working on short
time, in New England, that would be
glad to move south; and it would not
be long before the native southern help
would acquire the requisite skill for MAX
ing fine cloths.

The Treasurv Problem.
From the New York Post nnd.l.

The problem confronting the treasury
is the maintenance of gold payments.
This means that the legal tender notes
shall be paid in gold on demand. Conse-
quently any law requiring the payment of
customs duties in gold. in whole or in part
would merely put the importers to the
trouble of drawing gold from the sub
treasury before paying it to the collector
of customs. Moreover, is it supposed that
congress will pass law degrading the
silver dollar by not allowing 1t to be re-
ceived for custom duties2 No. In the
first place. the silver men would never
consent to this. In the next place, the
government ought not to, because it has
received the value of gold dollar for
every silver dollar outstanding. To turn
around and repudiate its own dollars

The Fifty-third congress is notable for
the fact that three states have been only
half represented in the Senate during the
greater part Of its existence. Washing
ton, Wyoming and Montana failed to
fill one seat each that belonged to them.
When the matter comes TO be examined
closely by the way, some of the other
states. whose seats were full, were not
half represented.

A Rule or Ruin Minoritr.

The slverites are in the minority in the
Senate. but under the out-of-date rules
Of that body they can prevent any hnan-
cial legislation at this session which they
do not approve. They now say that there
shall be no legislation for the relief OF
the treasury and the protection of the
nations credit which does not include
the free and unlimited coinage Of silver.
In other words. they declare that the
majority shall not rule. and that they will
permit the nations credit 10 he destroyed
rather than allow the financial views Of
the majority 10 prevail.
The whole Senate is responsible for this
disgracefm state Of affairs. The Senate
has been warned time and time again
to amend its rules so as to prevent the
Will Of the majority from be
ing defeated. but il has re-
fused TO heed the warnings. Il is
very probable that the House will send
10 the Senate within a very few days a
bill for the relief Of the treasury. framed
on the lines suggested in the Presidents
message. The country is informed be-
forehand that the silverites Will not allow
it TO become a law-that they will talk
it TO death. What is to be expected was
announced by Senator Sherman yester-
day. He declared that the finance COM
mittee was utterly helpless. that it could
make no recommendation relative TO
financial measure that did not provide for
the free and unlimited coinage Of silver.
and that the committee might as well be
discharged.
Things have come to a pretty pass
when a minority Of one branch of con-
gress boldly announces that it will have
its way or wreck the nations credit
When the country fully understands the
meaning of the attitude of the silverites
there will in all probability be an exhi-
bition of popular indignation such as
has seldom been seen.
If the silverites were in the majority
they would be entitled to have their way
in any matter affecting the public well
fare. They would represent the people.
As 1t is they represent only a small frac-
ton of the people, and propose to take
advantage of antiquated rules to defeat
the will of the people. a cause won by
such means cannot be a good cause.

The loss of the steamer Elbe, the most
disastrous affair Of the kind since the
accidental ramming and sinking of her
majesty's war ship Victoria off Tripoli, is
truly terrible affair. Nevertheless it is
one Of the exceptions that prove the
rule that ocean travel on modern passen-
ger steamships IS hardly more dangerous
than travel on the railroads. If Stats
tics were appealed to it would probably
be found that comparatively fewer lives
have been lost in the last ten years be-
cause of ocean steamship disasters than
because of railway disasters.

From the Philadelphia Ledger Qnd.)

The President has, by sending to con-

do it's duty by taking such prompt and eff

fidence in our financial soundness and

fails to do that it viii assume the graVest

1t frequently happens that litigants ap-
peal cases to higher courts for no other
purpose than 10 secure delay. Pennsyl-
vania has a good law that applies to
such cases. Under it the litigant who APP
peals merely to gain time is subject to
a day or two ago an appellant. who was
clearly shown to have appealed for that
purpose only was fined per cent. on the
amount of the judgment, in addition to
the legal interest. Such a law, strictly
applied, would. it seems. discourage friv-
olous litigation and give the courts more
time for legitimate business.

A Dangerous situation.
From the washIngton Post qndl

1t is to be hoped that congress will not
remain blind to a situation so fraught
with menace of disaster, or deaf to the
Presidents solemn admonition of duty.
Here is no poor question of party poll
tics or campaign paraphernalia. 1t is a
question of the nations honor and the
individuals welfare-a questio which
congress cannot afford to ignore unless it
courts eternal obloquy and condemnation.

hog, killed and ate it because it had
broken into his field and eaten all of his

justice in the hogs fate, but the judge

spoiIs system and Consular Ser,

SDOils System md Consular Service.
There is no doubt that Senator Lodge
is right when he says that the spoils
system in connection with our consular
service has had an extremely damaging
effect upon our foreign commerce. While
it is true that here and there we have
capable consul. as a rule they are
wholly unfit for the duties required Of
them. Not the least care is exercised in
selecting them. Those who have the
strongest political influence are the ones
who get the consular positions In many
instances they are broken down polit-
ical hacks, ministers in i'll health or
young men who have not been able TO earn
a living. II is only once in awhile that
one of them is found to have sufficient
business sense to discharge the duties
of his Office creditably
What we need at every place abroad
with which we have important CONNER
cial relations is a man of thorough BUSH
ness knowledge who is wide awake to the
importance of promoting American inter
ests. The consuls ought to be paid good
SesAeNi iSo anu nc Atpl at the posts 10 which
they are assigned during good behavior.
Such men would be of almost incalcula-
BILE benefit to our commerce They would
be extremely helpful in making a market
for our products and they could assist
our importers by furnishing valuable in
formation in respect to foreign mar
kets.
This question has been brought to the
attention of congress many times, but
that body has always been so welded
to the spells system that It has been
impossible to prevail upon it to ahpre-
ciate the importance of it. Great Brit
ain is much wiser in this matter than
we are. That country is careful to have
capable men to represent her as con-
suls in foreign countries, and the wis
dom of its policy in that respect is ap-
parent in the magnitude of her COM
merce.
Now that the question of improving
our consular service is being agitated
again, the ablest men in congress should
take an interest in it and make an effort
to so reform the service that we shall
have consuls that will compare favor
ably with those of any other country.

Ex-Speaker Reed is receiving congrat-
uaations upon his powers as a detective
Some days ago a peripatetic astronomer
from Maine-one of those sidewalk astron-
oners that charge a nickel for a peep
at the heavens through brass telescope
applied to Mr.. Reed for favor. The ex-
speaker. with the intuition of a Sherlock
Holmes, knew the man to be a crook.

little finger of the mans right hand had
a tendency to remain straight when the
other fingers were shut. that he wore
boots in the legs of which a couple of

his breath had the mingled aroma of ar
dent spirits and pine chips. Mr.. Reed
concluded his visitor was a certain man
wanted in Androscoggin county for theft.

there said the great ex-speaker was cor
rect, and so the astronomer was arrested.

New York and Chicago business men
have evidently reached the conclusion
that nothing need be expected of con-
gress in the way of financial legislation,
unless congress is forced by public opin-
ion to act. The Sherman silver purchase
repeal bin was passed under pressure of
public opinion. 1t wasn't the patriotism
Of the opposing members that saved the
credit of the country in that crisis. And
it may be necessary to employ similar
means to the same end in the exist
ing crisis. The President has started the
work Of bringing public opinion to bear
upon congress. Commercial bodies, bus
mess men and all others interested in the
prompt relief Of the treasury should assist
in that work. If the recalcitrant mem
hers were TO be buried under an ava
lanch of letters. petitions and kilograms
urging patriotic and immediate action
they might be constrained to do their
duty.
