Cannot Speak English.

OF the 10, 900, 900 people Of this
try a little more than 81 per cent are
unable to speak English. This count in
cludes grown persons and children above
10 years of age. It is rather surprising
to find that nearly one-tenth of these
people who cannot speak English are
native whites, and likewise their parents
before them were native whites.
Who are these natives that cannot
speak English? Are they the children
of the unclean and ignorant Russians,
Poles, Hungarians and Italians that
have thronged to II shores? Well, no.
The census of 1890 shows that 3S, 410 of
them are found in Pennsylvania, and
they are known to the rest of the conn
try as 'Pennsylvania Dutch.' For at
least $50 years these slow and stalwart
Germans and their descendants after
them have occupied the fertile fields and
valleys Of the Keystone State and have
net cared enough about the country in
which they have been born and reared
and prospered to learn its language.
They are something like the Beers of
the Transvaal and equally set their
faces against anything new. In some
parts of Pennsylvania it is possible to
travel for hours without finding Il per-
son who cal speak English.
A still larger number of ignorant
Americans are in Louisiana among the
%creoles, Al, 800 Of whom do not speak
English. Finally in New Mexico are to
be found SO, IT'S persons Of the most an
Gent lineage of any Of u native white
Americans, who are almost az ignorant
of English as a Digger Indian is. They
speak Spanish.
If to the number of native white
Americans who cannot speak English at
all were added those who cannot speak
good English, the figures would aston
ish even public school teachers. Not a
few of them would be still more aston
ished to find their own names III the
list.

Cotton Mills In the South.

The year 1896 will be long remem.
bered as the eliminating period OF bust
ness depression. Not SO in the cotton
mills of the south, however. While the
textile fabric industry in other parts of
the Union has had to report idle mills,
strikes and reduced wages the business
in the southern states has gone steadily
onward.
In 1880 there were only 1854 cotton.
mills in the whole south. By 1890 the
number had grown to 2S3. In 1880 the
amount of raw cotton consumed by the
mills was $3.50, $50 pounds. By 1890
the quantity was 278, 256, 100 pounds,
showing that the amount of cotton used
up bad increased comparatively more
than the number of mills.
Through all the financial depression
lasting from the autumn of 1898 till the
present time the cotton spinning indus
try in the south has gone On growing
uninterruptedly. This year there are 352
mills, humming away night and day,
some of them, and spinning and weaving
430, 549, $50 pounds of cotton. North
Carolina has the most mills-139. Flor
ida has none.
The ideal situation is realized in the
location Of these mills, the factories for
the consumption of the raw material
being on the ground where the raw ma
terial is produced. The south had little
to lose by hard times in comparison to
the manufacturing states of the north,
while she had everything to gain. She
is gaining, and that rapidly. Her mill
workmen earn money to buy food and
pay the farmers who raise that food the
cash for it, and that means prosperity
all around. Her climate is mild and
healthful, her soil fertile. So sure ar
northern. cotton mill owners of the fu-
ture Of the cotton factory in the south
that many of them have actually fur.
nished the capital to build the southern
mills.

A NEW ALIGNMENT OF PARTIES.

Difficult to Estimate the Exact Attitude Of
Many Senators on the Money Question.
Republicans Have Elected a Majority OF
congressman.
WASHINGTON, Nov. THE next sen.
ate. it is believed, will stand: Repub.
licans, IA; Democrats, 33; Populists and
independents, 13. This table takes all
states out Of the doubtful column, plac.
ing Kentucky and North Carolina in
the Republican column, as Senator But.
Ter said that a free silver Republican
probably would be returned by the fus.
ionists; Delaware in the Democratic col.
m and Kansas and South Dakota in
the independent and Populist column.
This will prevent the Republicans from
taking control Of the senate unless some
of those who bolted the Republican
platform at st. Louis should return. 1t
is difficult to estimate the exact standing
of the next senate IN the money ques.
ton, owing to the new alignment OF
parties in the recent campaign. Men
who have been pronounced silver men
have been supporting the Republican
platform and candidates and pronounced
gold men have supported the Democratic
platform and candidates. Perkins Of
California, Wolcott Of Colorado, Shoup
of Idaho, Garter of Montana, Mitchell
of Oregon, Wilson of Washington and
Clarke and Warren of Wyoming have
all voted for and supported silver legis.

take in the senate is altogether problem.
attic.
Among the Democrats, German Of
Maryland, Smith Of New Jersey, Muir
ply of New York, Faulkner Of West
Virginia and Mitchell Of Wisconsin all
have voted against silver and yet sup.
ported the Democratic party in this
campaign. AS no free coinage bill pos
sibly could pass the house, this fact
would influence voting in the senate on
the silver question:. especially in the
shape of a rider to a tariff bill. The
probability is that on a free coinage
amendment to a tariff bill, all of the "a
Republicans would vote against it and
possibly some Democrats, such rs CAT
ferry of Louisiana, Gray of Delaware and
Lindsay of Kentucky, who bolted the
Chicago platform and perhaps even
some Of those who supported Mr.. Bryan
during the campaign. 1t also is not I'M
likely that some Of the Republican sena-
tors who bolted the Republican plat
form might take a position which would
permit a tariff bill in which their con
stituents are largely interested, because
of wool, lumber and lead ores, to become
a law. Senator Faulkner, Democrat OF
West Virginia said the silver men by
standing solidly with the Democrats
could prevent tariff legislation. Senator
Butler on the other hand said that he
and others Of the Populists would sup
port the right kind Of a tariff bill, but

himself and didn't care to intrude upon
the happiness of the young couple, so.
