The name Of Robert +. Lee viii be upon
a million lips to-day. In his honor cele-
brations wiI be held in the south. and in
various sections Of the north. Countless
noble sentiments. inspired by his precept
and example. viii be uttered by grizzled
veterans who fought under him. and by
representatives Of the new south, who
must perforce regard him as an ideal
gentleman. soldier and patriot. The idea
has got abroad that Lee has been unjust

war. The whole south viii to-day resent
the criticisms by reamrming their love
for and loyalty 10 the greatest man that

A well known Washington correspond
ent has this to say of the United States
Senate:
What is the matter with the United
States Senator" What indeed? If the
truth must be told, it is a body in de-
cadence. The moral and intellectual tone
of the Senate are both falling far below
old-time standards. Where are the Conk-
Inns. the Humans, the Fessendens, the
Wades the Becks the Trumbulls the
Summers. the brilliant. broad and able
men of this day? One hunts almost in
vain for them in the Senate chamber.
There are senators, of ability and high
character, but the dry rot appears to be
i'm them, and the pail of partyism, of mar
rowness or of Slothfulness seems to be
hanging over one and all Rarely, indeed,
does the debate rise to respectable level.
If the cranks are not exploiting their sin
gle ideas the brawlers are engaged in
personalities sadly out of place in the
Senate. The upper branch of the Ameri-
can congress has fallen on evil days.
The foregoing is severe criticism, and
yet it cannot be successfully denied that
it contains a good deal of truth. The Sen
ate is in the hands of cranks and narrow
minded partisans. 1t is unable to rise to
the level demanded by great occasions.
In the panic of 1898 it required an enor-
nous pressure from all parts of the coun-

the President for legislation to meet the
difficulties under which the treasury is
laboring? Nothing, absolutely nothing.
1t has originated no measure of relief
and it is unable to accept the measures
sent TO it by the House.
There are no leaders in the senate-no-
body who has influence enough to blaze
a way which others are willing to follow.
Day after day there is a lot of dreary
talk-talk that nobody cares to hear and
which very few do hear. The main idea
of most Of the senators seems to be to
hold on to their places. and they are

Leap Year Forever.

From the Chicago Post.
When men propose
Each mortal knows
That all things go awry,
For lovers meek
Oft fail to speak,
Though maidens softly sigh.
They make mistakes
And cause heartbreaks
In ev'ry walk of life;
They choose, and yet
They often get
The wrong one for wife.
They lack the nerve
They ought to serve
In trying times like these;
And SO, world Ger,
One year in four
The girls do as they please.
They have one year
The one just here
In which to prove they're new"
When they may court,
Like men disport,
And do all men may do.
In days of old,
AS we've been told,
This proved a pleasing plan;
But now, alaS
It's come to pass
They're rather crowding man.
So it is plain
With might and main
To all these rights they'll cling;
And leap year'n be,
AS you shall see,
A most unending thing.

Some politicians and economists have
lately manifested much concern because
of the report that Japan is going into
the building of cotton mills upon a con
siderable scale considered together with
a telegram from san Francisco to the ef-
feet that 5000 bales Of American cotton
had been purchased for consumption by
japanese mills. Such persons affected to
see. in the cheap labor Of Japan. a men
ace to the cotton manufacturing industry
in this country. 1t has even been said
that the japanese would be able, with
cheap labor to send their manufactured
goods back to the United States and un-
dersell home manufacturers.
In the first place, of the alleged 5000
bales purchased for japanese consump-
ton. Mr.. Hester Of the New Orleans Cot
ton Exchange has been able to find traces
Of only 1850 bales. with the probability
OF an additional shipment of 1900 bales to
Japan; hence. to begin with, the 5000
bale statement was only about one-fourth
true. In the next place, if the original
essarily have indicated an untoward pros
poet for this country-at least the south
ern section of it. There are not now in
Japan, and will not he for many years,
mills enough TO supply the japanese de-
mand for cotton goods. When the mills
of Japan shall have grown equal to the
demand of the Japanese market, they will
find at their doors the vast empire of
China, with its uncounted millions of peo-
pie and the great Korean peninsula, as
their most inviting territory for trade
The United States sell great quantities of
cotton goods in China, but not nearly so
much as are sold by Great Britain. When
Japan invades the Chinese market with
cotton goods. if she ever does, she will
come first into competition with Eng
land. England must import the cotton
she manufactures; America can manufac-
ture it where it is grown. thus saving
! freight, insurance and other incidentals
which will probably amount to more than
the difference of cost of labor at that
distant and uncertain time when Japan
shall be competing with the most ad-
vanced nations of the earth in manufac-
turing enterprises.
In so far as the southern section of the
United States is concerned, the cotton
growing industry is of vastly more impor-
lance than the cotton manufacturing in
dustry and is likely to remain so until
a time in the future which is impercepti-
BILE to the most far-sighted. Therefore
whatever circumstances tend to an in
| crease in the demand for cotton are OF
| beneficial interest to this section. 1t is
stated upon authority that the cottons OF
Egypt and the Caucasus are not suited in
grade nor available in sufficient quaint
ties for japanese manufacturing, hence
whatever increase in demand may be
occasioned by the building of mills in ia.
pan must be reflected by a Strengthening
| of demand for the American product
Direct trade in raw cotton between Japar
| and the United States may be delayed fol
some time, until the building of the Mica.
rauga canal, because of the cost of send
| ing cotton overland to San Francisco fo1
| shipment to Japan. In the meantime
there does not seem to be any alarm
ing circumstance in the situation

The death of Bishop Haygood viii be
profoundly regretted throughout the coun-
try, and in Georgia especially. He labored
long and successfully in this state for the
advancement of religion, education and
literature. He rehabilitated one of the
states great educational institutions,
leaving it upon substantial basis. He
declined high honors in order that he
might work the more effectively for the
greatest good to the greatest number.
His labors were always unselfsh, and de-
voted to the upbuildfng of the sacred cause
to which he had consecrated his life. The
methodist church has lost one of it's
strong supports; but it is much the strong
er that he lived.

More MiIIs fer the south.
The Boston Journal of Commerce Gnd).

The fremont and Suffolk mills of Lowell
have petitioned the legislature for leave
to increase it's capital stock to 100000
and for leave to do business outside the
commonwealth. Their present capital is
81 100000. This is the fifth of the seven
corporations of Lowell making cotton
goods which have applied for an increase
Of capital to do business outside the state
This looks as if the future increase of
made in the south and that they were
fully convinced that certain goods which
they now manufacture could be more prof
itably done in the south. 1t also points
to the entering more extensively upon
the production of a finer grade of goods
to replace the coarser goods which will
be relegated to their southern plants. If
our memory serves us the Hamilton Man
ufacturing Company and the Appleton
mills are the only remaining concerns
making cotton goods that have not made
a move looking to extensions in the SOUTH

adjourn over to-day in honor of Robert
E. Lee The statement is entirely to the
discredit of the body. The idea seems
TO have been that, in as much as the date
of the anniversary fell upon Sunday, the
legislature could not afford to lose a day
from its business. 1t is passing strange
that the Virginia Legislature should have
acted upon any such idea. 1t may be de-
pended upon that the legislators will hear
more of the matter by the time of the next
election. The peopeI of Virginia will not
