REMOVAL or THE MILLS.

A Protective Tariff Won't Be
Needed When They Come SOuth.
Washington. Feb. 4.-The New York
World OF this morning has the following
editorial: "A republican journal can see
nothing in the proposed removal Of Mas
sachusetts cotton mills to the south exc
cept an object lesson in protection to
the southern people.
"The cotton factories will go south in
obedience to natural laws. The change
has been inevitable since the abolition Of
slavery, the advent Of free labor at the
south, the creation there Of a commercial
and Industrial spirit and the building OF
adequate lines Of transportation. The
mills are being transplanted, as one OF
their managers says. because their staplo
is grown there and because labor and
fuel are cheaper, taxes lower and the
climate conditions more favorable.
THE treasurer Of one Of the Lowell mills
puts the matter clearly In these words:
The fact is we can no longer make plain
sheetings and drills at a profit in tho
north. Against 81 per ton for coal in
the south we must pay "a 20 IS. The
climate down there Is milder, and II does
not require so much coal TO heat the mills.
The manufacturers there can buy their
cotton Off the market wagon we must
an advantage OF / cent per pound on the
raw cotton, which by itself IS a fair profit
for mill making coarse yarn goods. The
labor, too costs 60 per cent. of what 1t does
here, and down there the taxation Is not
quite one-half what it Is in Lowell
80 far as the object lesson In protec-
ton is concerned, the transferrence OF
the mills TO the south renders a high tariff
more than ever unnecessary. We have
the authority Of Secretary Blaine and OF
our consular representatives since his day
for the statement that the labor cost In
cottons is less In the New England mills
than in Great Britain. The cost Of fuel
and of living expenses is greater in Mas
sachusetts than in England. But now
that this disadvantage Is to be overcome
by a removal to the south and the mills
can buy their cotton from the market
wagons while their foreign competitors
must pay for 5000 miles Of transportation
in the fibre, the American manufacturers.
no more need the 45 per cent protection
which the present tariff gives them than
the miners Of Newcastle need protection
for their coal.

NEGROES IN A FRENZY.
Florida Blacks Duped by IA Liberian
Colonization Agent.


Mariana, Fla, Feb. 4.-Sorne time ago
a negro named Willis Gordon came here,
representing himself as agent for a Lii
berian colonization company. He proposed
TO transport negroes to Liberia at 81 per
head. He secured hundreds of dollars and
left, telling the negroes that train would
arrive for them last Saturday. The ne
groes sold all their possessions at a sacri-
fee and quartered at the depot Saturday
to take the train to begin their journey to
Liberia, but no train came. When the ne
groes realized that they had been duped,
they became almost frenzied. There were
fully 1900 negroes-men, women and chill
dren-gathered at the depot, and had not
Sheriff Finlayson arrived on the scene,
riot would probably have resulted. The
sheriff summoned posse and finally sue
ceeded in dispensing the negroes.
Many of them are now without homes
or possessions and will suffer as a result Of
Gordon's rascality. They vow that they
will lynch Gordon if he ever reappears in
Jackosn county. Gordon claimed to be
from Birmingham, Ala.

to-day, having lodged nine of the most
famous moonshiners in Jail. There was

NOT THE cHIcORA's HULL.
The object Seen From Chicago
Probably Only a Huge Cake of Ice.


Probably only "A Huge Cake of Ice.
Chicago, Feb. All hope has been
abandoned that the object sighted off
South Chicago yesterday morning will
prove to be the hull Of the lost steamship
Chicora. There was little interest shown
in South Chicago during the day. and
only few persons braved the extremely
cold weather to visit the lake shore
Those who did go were unable to see
anything on the lake which resembled a
boat. While further search was consid-
cred useless this morning, It was desired
to leave no possible doubt, and tugs were
sent out on Il searching cruise. The
boats went along the Indiana shore
twelve miles into the lake from Ninety
eighth street, but were unable to find
anything but ice. Many huge cakes
were encountered which might easily be
mistaken for boat from the shore. and
it was doubtless one Of these which
aroused SO much hope and excitement.

The following remarkable recent cx-
perience Of q PessAl nd lady is d fact:
She had been absenss from her home
all day, and that night she had q
dream. She thought that she had
started to descend the cellar stairs
when great snake came gliding up.
1t reared it's head close to her and
stood there swaying back and FORTH
and suddenly the head began to
change and assume the form of a hu-
man head, and finally the face of one
of her neighbors was grinning at her
on the serpent's body. She woke with
scream. The neighbor was one
whom she knew but slightly, but with
whom she was not favorably inn
pressed. The next morning her serv-
ant, d most excellent cook and SO gem
orally superior as to have become al
most a member of the family, told her
that she must leave her, as the neigh
Dor Of the dream had come to the
house during her absence the day be-
fore and offered higher wages and less
work and better advantages generally.
The result was the servant went to the
neighbor's, and the lady feels that her
dream was appropriate. She had had
no intimation or suspicion that this
neighbor had designs upon her cook,
and there was nothing apparently to
inspire her dream. Portland Trans

CHAPTER xL-eoNrrNunD.
ICoPYRIGTr, 1894 ]

I.
No one followed the slow develop
ment of public suspicion SO carefully
as Hendricks. He had the papers for
warded to him under various addresses
by Fenning, but it was not till the
expiration of the year and a half that
he, closed the Memphis office and called
in Fenning and Miss Laport, between
whom appears to have grown up a very
strong attachment. Hendricks was too
shrewd not to know that the Memphis
branch was now the most dangerous
outpost. Indeed Fenning had warned
him for some time that his position
there was growing untenable, and that
he expected every day that their wire
would be quietly tapped.
This was the growing crisis of affairs
when, one morning in June, there was
consultation in what Hendricks called
his stlb-library. It was q handsomely
fitted up room on one side of the ro-
tunda. 1t was furnished In elaborate
style, and four men were sitting at a
large center table which was heaped
with maps and papers. one of the men
was Hendricks himself; hie eager face
was more serious than usual. but he
| was self-assured and calm. One of the
others was DIR. Pellissier. On one side
Of him sat Fenning, who was studying
railroad map. On the other sat Gen.
Waterson, young and fiery southener
whom we have seen drilling the regi-
ment. Pe1lissier was smoking Gig
arctic. Hendricks picked up q letter
and read it:
There will positively be strike all
along the line. 1t is only the prelimin-
ary movement of socialistie reyolu-
ton. The whole country is honey
combed with discomfort. All that the

THE LAND or DREAMS.


had wonderful dream last night,
yor dreamed that had strayed,
Through a shadowy valley far away
To the land where dreams are made.
And there on the left saw q house.
Gloomy and dark and tall,
And black nightmare, with fiery eyes,
Was tied beside the wall
Forth from the door q figure came,
Wrapped In mantle gray;
Onto the black nightmare he leaped
And galloped and galloped away;
And above the door were letters carved
In grinning gargoyle's shade,
And read the words In here are dreams
For naughty children made
And also saw where a castle stood,
With domes and turrets too;
The walls with varying colors shono
As the glisteLing bubbles do.
A sound OF music breathed within,
And the door was opened wide,
There an angel Stood and UP and down
He looked on every side;
And a troop OF little children camo
In white, with naked feet;
They entered in--he closed the door,
And left me in the street
Then looked and saw above the door,
In letters large and clear,
Tha shone like gold: Good childrenss dreams
Are made for them In here" !"
But no more saw, for then was drawn
Into a cavern deep,
Silent and dark and the name OF 1t
Was 1.-The Cave of Dreamiess Sleep"
