Jerry Simpson is quoted as saying
that "good times means death to the
Populists." Aparty which languishes
when the people are prosperous, and
which holds together only in the dark
days of disaster, is party to which
the American people will gladly bid a
long farewell. If Mr.. Simpson is cor
rect in his diagnosis, all of us have
another reason for praying that the
good times will come soon aud remain
with US long enough to bury Popu-
lism in its unhonored grave.

Southern Cotton Mills.
Dec. 80, 1894.

From the New York Herald.l
The fact that two New England
cotton companies, as told in yester-
days Herald, have decided to build
large mills in the South, is signif-
cant recognition of the advantage of
manufacturing the staple product of
the Southern States where ii is grown.
In the recent progress of the South
nothing is more striking than the de-
velopment of its cotton manufacture
ing industry. Within the last four
years the number of mills has in
creased from two hundred and fifty
to four hundred, and the capital in
vested from sixty-one to ninety-seven
million dollars. This rapid develop
ment has been due chiefly to Southern
enterprise, but now that New England
manufacturers have entered that field
their lead will doubtless be followed
by others.
The Herald long ago pointed out
that the South was destined to become
a great cotton manufacturing centre,
and events are rapidly confirming
that view.

gIelrOse Votes Bonds.

Only two votes were cast against the
proposition to issue bonds at the spe-
cial election held last week at Melrose
says the St. Cloud. Times The total
vote cast was 1876. The proposition is
to issue $4,000 which IS the limit of
the bonded Indebtedness of the village
and this together with $4,000 contrib
uted by the business men will he used to
purchase land for the Great Northern.
The report that the proposed changes
on the system is likely to take a large
number OF train crews out of St. Cloud
has created good deal OF discussion in
business circles. The Melrose people
claim they have assurance from the
general manager but the local represen-
satives OF the company who come in Com
tact with our business men say they
haye no knowledge of any change and
do not believe the report that Melrose
is to have division at the expense Of
st. Cloud. 1t is reasonable, however,
to expect that if this IS not true the
company will favor the business men of
st. Cloud with an official denial.
