THE RECALL OF GEN. cAMroS.

Whatever may have been the cause
of the recall of General Campos. as
general and commander in chief Of the
Spanish forces In Cuba, the fact re-
mains that the recall is regarded on
this side of the water as an evidence
of weakness and the act is hurtful
to the Sanish cause
Indeed some go SO far as to say that
1t is but the beginning of the end OF
Spanish rule In the Queen of the An
titles" and 1t may be that they are
right.
This is argued upon the belief that
his successor, Gen. Weyler. whose for
mer rule in the islands gained for him
the name OF butcher" will drive thou
sands Of Cubans into the insurge,.
camp who otherwise would have re-
manned mont ombatants. Besides moth
Ing is more calculated to gain for the
insurgents outside syInpathizers than
the knowledge that the new Captain
General has returned to his cid meth
DDS of dealing with subjects in revolt
Certainly such conduct on his part
will not be regarded with indifference
by the United States, and 1t may lead
to action on the part OF this, government
at an earlier day than would have been
the case had Campos remained in COM
mand.
Campos is by far the most compe-
tent general on the Spanish side, and
where he failed to subdue the Cubans II
is not believed that Gen. Weylcr car
succeed. In fact, when the report that
the former contemplated resigning his
command about two weeks ago reached
the cars of the Spanish Minister OF
War, that official promptly replied tina,
the retirement OF General Campos will
be the first national defeat before the
rebels. before Europe. and before tn,

CHICAGO AND THE soUTEI

Hon. Patrick Walsh, editor of the
Augusta Chronicle. has written a VERY
interesting letter TO Mr.. r. b. Thack-
ston, editor of Products of the Piedmont.
at Spartansburg, S. c., in which he, sets
forth the advantages to accrue 10 the
South from the proposed Cotton Exposi-
ton TO be held at Chicago. Mr.. Walsh
says he has the mos; unbounded faith
in the practical results OF the cxposi-
ton, and believes that every colnmu-
nifty and every interest in the South
will promote its interests. II am sure"
says he, that If the South embraces
the opportunity Chicago can be. relied
upon to 90 Its full duty in making the
enterprise grand succcss-the South
has everything 10 make and nothing to
lose by the exposition. The Chicago
Cotton Exposition is strictly a business
movement. It's purpose is TO carry 10
the people OF the West and Northwes,
the most striking oDjast-lesson OF what
the South has accomplished already in
one great industry. and to snow a
practically illimitabie field for proGita-
bic investment in this same direction,
and to invite Chicago and Western capt.
tai in the establishments Of bleacherics
and print WORKS for finishing the pro
ducts of Southern mills. and for the
establishment of machine shops for the
manufacture of textile machinery The
Chicago Exposition" according to Mr..
Walsh's idea, need not be confined to
cotton and the products thereof. but 1t
should embrace In Its scope all OF the
natural products of the South. 1t should
in addition to cotton, all of the
resources Of our mines and forests, and
show conspiciously the rich and varied
products OF diversified agriculture and
horticulture" He is firm in the opinion
that the exposition, If properly con-
Quoted. will prove of incalcuable benefit
to the people of the Southern States.
and sees in 1t an opportunity that
should be awaited of to the fullest ex-
tent, and every interest in the South
should promote it's success in every
possible way. He says Chicago sees In
1t an opportunity ito advance its com
mercial interest and the South should
see In 1t an opportunity to build up its
agricultural and manufacturing in
dustries.
