Republicans Feeling Their Oats

From the Raleigh News & Observer.
Every Republican who has been
interviewed since the election claims
the victory as a Republican victory
In Washington city they tell the Re.
pubIieans that they had to use the
Populists one time to pull the chest
nUts out of the fire, but that the
Populists will all come with them in
1896. The Republican legislators
leaders here also arc .'feeling their
oats" They walk and talk like
they oaned the earth, and are only
waiting to pass a bill that will give
them the election machinery and
overturn the county and town gov
ernments, to turn around and open
ly repudiate their allies.

Tor pandering to the money kings

COMMUNION CUPS.
An Innovation Tried at a Baltimore
Church.


Church.
From the Baltimore Sun,sJan.
Il am thankful to say that there
has not been the slightest jar to
make you feel the transition from
the old form TO the new" said Rev
DR.. Richard Harcourt 80 his cOugre-
CATION yesterday morning at the
close of the communion service at
Grace Methodist Episcopal Church
The new individual communion
Scups were used for the first time at
the service, and, as the pastor said,
it proceed as quietly aud eXpedi-
tiousiy as il the otficia tidg cierg ymen
and the people bad never known any
other method of partaking of the
sacrament.
A tiny glass was handed to each
communicate from the trayfui taken
from the small cabinet which, cover
ed with a snowy white cloth, was the
first object sought by the eyes of
every one on entering the church.
Except for the occasional and barely
audible clink of glass against glass
as the empty cups were returned to
the trays, to those in the congrega
ton there was no apparent difference
from the usual way of serving the
elements.
Among the pastors comments,
were the following:
I'VE have reached an age in the
world in which We ha ve greater light
than ever before We have come to
know that most diseases are conta-
gious. We have come to know also
that cleanliness is a part of goodness,
instead of being merely next to god
illness, and that a man who has not
ambition enough to keep himself
clean--not only spiritually, but to
keep his body clean and to wear
clean clothes-can have no part in
the new kingdom. We know, also,
that God says to us, DO no harm to
thyself' and DO no harm to thy
neighbour In one thing we may
learn from the Chinese. They know
the danger of contact of bodies. The
Cinnamon do not shake hands.
Just here will venture TO make
this prophecy-that in ten years
there will not be church in the land
worthy of the name that will not
have Individual communion cups.
We would not be guilty of SO gross a
breach of etiquette as to offer a single
cup to all our guests in our dining
room at home. Shall we not, then,
be just as cleanly-and- even little
more so-in our religious as IN our
social observances? 2"
After the service many of the con-
gregation returned to the altar rail
and asked to have another view of
the new service. General approval
of the innovation was expressed.

From the Cincinnati Commercial-Gazette

soUTHERN COTTON MILLS.

Slowly butsurely the beliefis grow
ing. SAYS the Savannah News, that
the South is to be the cotton MANI
featuring section of this country.
The great cotton mill owners of New
England are finding it necessary to
establish cotton mill plants in the
South in order to hold their trade,
and the Southern people, as they ac-
cumulate surplus wealth, are putting
money into cotton mills. The an
nouncement was made the other day
that two of the strongest cotton
mill companies in Massachusetts had
decided to build large mills in the
South to cost about 100000.
Each cotton mill that is built is an
inducement for the building of other
cotton mills. because all of the we'll
managed mills pay a good interest
on the money investedin them. The
reason of this is that the cost OF
manufacturing in the South is less
than in the North. Cotton costs
less and labor is cheaper.
For "a long time it was thought
that satisfactory labor could not he
obtained in the South. 1t is now well
understood that as skillful opera
tiyes can be made out of the labor to
be obtained i'll the South as there are
to be found in the New England
States, and, besides, many opera
tives from the New England mills are
seeking homes in the South They
like the Southern climate and find
the labor conditions more satisfac-
tory.
Southern operatives are becoming
better all the time, and it will not be
long before the manufacture of the
finer grades of goods will be under
taken. While the progress of the
cotton industry in the South was
slow for years after the war, owing
to the lack of capital and the unset
tied state of political affairs, it hes
not been slow within the last ten
years.
Fourteen years ago the whole
South had only $50 cotton mills.
! with 100000 spindles, IA, 300 looms
aud total capital of $21, 100000
A careful inquiry made six months
] ago showed that there were 4OJ
mills in the Southern States, with
2,7OO, 900 spindles and 81 ,OO0looms
and total capital of S97, OOO,OOO
| 1t is stated that besides the torego-
ing there are 20 new mills under con
struction that will require an outiay
of S6,O0O,O00 and will add 2S5, OOt
| spindles and 5000 looms to those
already in operation. Surely this il
a showing that justifies the South il
expecting the time is near at hano
when she would manufacture TIT
greater part of her cotton crop.
There has been a large and stead
increase in the South's consumption
| oOuUUcIu InIns consuueu only aDOu
one fourth as much as those of New
| England, while last year they con
sumed nearly one half as much.
The South produces fully 60 pc
cent. of the cotton of the world. AM
there is no good reason why sh,
should not manufacture at least {
third of the cotton goods consumed
in the world. Her cotton, wher
manufactured, is worth about thre,
times as much as it is in the raw
state. A great part of the hundreds
of millions of dollars annually tha'
is added to the value of her raw
material in the mills of New England
and Europe could be kept at home
and the South would become tn,
richest and most prosperous part o
the world.

A VERY natural view of a very un.

as follows: 81 do not see how it can

Populists are out-and-out free trad
ers and free silver men, while the Re
puhlicans are protectionists and
stand with the national party upon
all questions of finance. The alliance
therefore is an unnatural one and
will, l think, be broken before this
Legislature expires. They will,
doubtless, elect Mr.. Butler to the
Senate for the long term and a Re-
publican for the short term, but after
this is done and they pass an election
law, they are almost certain to drift
apart upon every important public
