TAKING AWAY OUR COMMERCE.

TAKING AWAY OUR COMMERCE.
Il behooves the managers of steamship
lines between the United States and Chi
nese and Japanese ports, as well as the
great transcontinental railway lines, to
"stir their stumps' if they do not want
TO lose the bulk OF their trade from Eastern
Asia. The establishment of a line of
British steamships plying between that
part of the world and New York, which
will take freight at about one-fourth of
the present rate, threatens serious danger
to important transportation investments.
Whenever England sees chance to grasp
a part of the worlds commerce she shuns
no expense 1t has been her traditional
policy to subsidize steamship lines in order
to enable them to enter into sharp compe-
tltion with existing ventures, and the
ocean freight wars with such steamers
have inaugurated and often carried TO
successful issue. were made profitable to
them in the first instance, by the fostering
care of the British government In the
present case, however, it is not only
the Pacific steamship companies and the
L
suffer- but the blow viii fall with great
severity upon the sailing vessels that ply
bet ween American and Chinese and Japan
ese ports.
The British steamers referred to went
from Canton by way of the Suez canal and
took their cargoes at the remar arkably low
rate of six dollars per ton of forty cubic
feet. This is even less than sailing vessels
have been in the habit of charging, and
nothing is more probable than that i'm
porters of Asiatic products will avail them
selves of the low rates offered by the Eng
lish line, if their wares can be brought to
them even more quickly than heretofore.
At the same time 1t is almost incredible
that Yankee ingenuity will not find a way
to beat the British at their own game.

GRADE CROSSINGS DENOUNCED.

-
The Board of Trade paid its respects
last night to the grade crossing, and in no
uncertain way. At the meeting called for
the special purpose OF discussing railroads
in the District, although several other
matters of great Importance were also
taken in hand, the different speakers
handled the railway corporations without
gloves, and were particularly severe on the
Baltimore and Ohio Company for its in
tolerably Hliberal policy toward the peo-
pie of Washington.
Resolutions adopted instruct the proper
committee to prepare for the action of the
Board of Trade the draft of a hill, the
object of which is TO abolish steam railway
tracks at grade with the streets of the
city, and the measure will be urged with
all possible emphasis upon the next Con
gress. No doubt there is a considerable
number of persons in the District who
have but faint idea of these danger
points, specifically designated as grade
crossings. Such will obtain a proper
conception of these death-traps by a study
OF the Photographic Impressions contained
in The Times news columns to-day. The
pictures are more eloquently illustrative
of the true situation than columns of de-
scription or comment.
The people of the District are patient
and long suffering. In some cities such
death-traps would long since have been
demolished, but our people have hoped, and
continue to hope, that some Congress will
be just and fair enough, and sufficiently
free from paid lawyers of these big cor
porations, TO do what is right. The action
of the Board of Trade will give the Fifty
fourth Congress the opportunity to put
itself on record in the proper way.

SOUTHERN COTTON FACTORIES.


The visit of the New England Cotton
Manufacturers Association to Atlanta ap-
pears to obave econvincedits members that the
days of cotton spinningfn New England are
numbered. and that theNew South is "a pidly
taking that industry to itself, just as it
has wrestIed the iron industry from Pennsyl-
vania. There was the defiance of assured
success i'll the remark of President Collier.

every prize that can be won"
OF course. While New England boasts
of larger experience the South enjoys the
fnsuperable advantage of having the staple
1T uses for manufacturing purposes right
at the factory door. 1t was said years ago
that whenever the South would build cotton
factories near the cotton fields New Eng
lands occupation in this respect would be
gone, for not only would there be the item
of saving in transportation, but labor can
be had in the South more cheaply than in
the North and strikes are unknown there
These two points are important factors in

are recognized by investors North of Mason

prises OF the South owe their existence to

THE sheriff of a county is ID posi-.
ton where he can save to the county
or bleed it more than any other
official. ronk Mills during his admin
istration has saved over a thousand
dollars each year to the taxpayers
which he might have taken had he re-
sorted to Dobson tactics. The respec-
tive records of Mills and Dobson show
what a sheriff can do in the interest of
or against the taxpayers. Dobson ney-
er drew less that $4,000 a year while
Mills never drew half that amount. OF
course the county pays most of the fees
that go to make up the sheriff's COM
pensation. In the light of these facts.
can you afford to defeat Sheriff Mills
at the polls next month? Mr.. voter

FOR sheer ignorance and silly twad-

". A few weeks ago we heard an old
half witted republican say that because
Jerry Simpson was elected to congress
several years ago, the farmers were
beat out of their money for their sor-
ghum last year. Then comes the Ores
set, that brilliant spark of intelligence
and says, "If you want a good price

WHAT are county warrants worth
today. When the pops got, control of
the county they were worth 100 cents
on the dollar.-Cresset.
County warrants, today are worth
80 cents. But who is responsible
for this state of affairs? Who
saddled the fraudulent bonds of '73,
amounting to 100000, on the county?
Who compromised these bonds, not one
cent Of which should ever have been
recognized as debt, for SIS, 600? Was it
the pops? Who made it necessary that
$1,000 interest, has to be paid annually
on these bonds? surely not the pops.
Who plundered the treasury of the
county by paying for bridges that new
Ell were built, and whu employed coun-
sci at the county's expense to defend
the culprits who, by virtue of their
official positions. committed this out
rage on TIE taxpayers of the county?
All this was done by republicans if you
please. Who bled the county for mile
age in criminal cases for distances new

We're at the helm ever since Medicine
Lodge was city? Answer this ques-

lies. The factis that this county was
on the verge of destruction when the
new party came into power 1--WE had a
populist board of commissioners only
two years. and they have made mag
niticent record. Indeed it is a wonder
that warrants would sell for anything
when we stop to think how the repnb-
lican leaders wined and dined at the
county's expense. We could say more
OF what was usual occurrence in the
sheriff's office during Dobson's admin
istrations. but we will wait for further
charges from the enemy. The charge
that the pops have deprecated county
warrants is a lie on its face; the records
prove it to be lie. The charge
is boomerang TO the republican
party itself. Many can remember the
time when warrants were sold as low
as 10 cents under republican rule but
