DELAWARE SENATORSHIP

Washington, May 12.-The probability
that Governor Watson will appoint a
man as senator from Delaware to succeed
Senator Higgins is considered sufficiently
strong about the city as to cause a gener-
al speculation of the chances of his being
seated. The history of the senate does
not furnish parallel case to that which
will be presented by such action of tn
Delaware governor, but it is more like the
eases of two years ago. presented from tn
States of Wyoming, Montana and Wash
ington, than any others. 1t would be sim
liar to those in so far as it would involv
the governors right to appoint when tn
legislature has failed to elect, but develop
the important question among them of tn
right of the governor to act as State sen
ator while filling the Office of governor
The cases of the Northwestern States diff
fer from that which would be presented
from Delaware in that there was no coun
ter claimant in any of them.

Among the many prominent divines now
attending the convention of Southern
Baptists in this city there is no one who
is attracting greater attention than DR..
j. B. Cranfill of Waco editor of the Texas
Baptist Standard. This is so not only
on account of his genial personality and
attractive manner, but because of his
national prominence on account of his
having been the nominee for vice presi-
dent on the Prohibition ticket in 1892.
Speaking of prohibition matters in Texas
the doctor says: 'There is no doubt that
the prohibition cause is gaining ground
all over the country. In Texas it is
making good Roadway, and several of the
most wealthy and populous counties in
the State have recently voted no license.

only effect of high license is to throw the

from whisky, and a nation or State that
profits from such a source cannot escape

GOLD PRODUCTION FOR 1894.

The figures of the gold production of
the United States during the calendar
year 1894 have been subjected to a con-
siderable change in the process of veri-
hcatiOn by the bureau of the mint. The
probably not exceed $40,000,000 instead
of the $42,000,00O which has heretofore
been estimated. The figures of the
worlds production, however, remain at
about $170,000,000, as gains in South AT
RIGA and other sections have made up for
the reduced estimate in the United States.
The difference between the final figures
for the United States and those which
have been previously announced is due
principally to the consumption of foreign
gold at American refneries, which has not
been reported in the statistics if i'm
ports. Most of this gold has come from
Mexico, and the failure to include it in
the import statistics is due to the fact
that an export is levied by the Mexican
government This has resulted in the
introduction of the gold through other than
the regular official channels by u process
considered by some akin to smuggling,
Careful inquiry by the mint bureau leads
to the belief that about $2,700000 in
Mexican gold was worked up in Ameri-
can refineries during 1894, while the inn
ports officially reported were only 500,
600. These figures are likely to prove of
interest to the Mexican government
A total production of $40,000000 in
the United States during 1894 will show
n gain of about II per cent over the pro
ductiOn of 1893, which was $1,000, 600.

Little Falls weekly transcript. (Little Falls, Morrison Co., Minn.) 1894-19??, 1895-02-08

An industrial movement of consider
able Importance has been in progress for
the past ten years under the surface. 1t
now begins to be plainly manifest. 1t
is the shifting Of the manufacture Of
cotton goods from the north to the south.
The New England cotton manufacturers
themselves are opening mills in the cot
ton states. Other things being equal,
manufactured goods can always be made
best and cheapest in localities nearest
where the raw material is produced.
The coarser grades Of cotton have been
made in the south for some years more
cheaply than they could be turned out
in the north. With the mild climate,
abundant fuel and cheap labor of the COT
ton states there is promise Of an era Of
wonderful prosperity to those states.
1t is not likely, though, that the cotton
mills of New England will be obliged to
shut down i'll consequence.
