A Conflicting statement.

A special cable dispatch to the New York
World from Havana, dated yesterday. says:
Assistant Secretary of State Uhl notified
Consul General Williams this morning that
the insurgent general, Jose l.. Cepero, who
is confined in the Cabanas fortress, was
recognized as an American citizen in 1881,
when a passport was issued to him, This
will cause his case to be transferred to a
civil court as he had no arms in bis posses
sion when taken. Campos resisted the
clamor for his life.
If, as reported, Cepe-o was shot the
morning of the 18th, the transfer of his
case to 4 civil court will do him very little
good.

A Misunderstood Doctrine.

There has never been a doctrine more
misunderstood or misapplied than the So
called Monroe doctrine. 1t is, and has ever
been, without recognition by other coun-
tries and has always been refused the ap-
proval OF Congress.
Not only was the Monroe doctrine the
direct outcome of English suggestion, but
in all the wars for independence fought in
swamps and jungles. and in the fever-in-
tested districts of these tropical provinces
of South America, and in the long strug-
giles for liberty which drenched the Span
ish colonies in America with the blood of
patriots British volunteers fought ever in
the front of battle. Without Great Brit
aims aid Venezuela might not today be
free"
President Monroe, the Senator continued,
protested not gainst de5potic government,
but against its forcible extension by the
dreadful holy alliance in this western world
of which he stood in well-grounded fear.
Congress had failed to give the Monroe
doctrine official sanction, and when a con-
gressional resolution respecting Panama
was under discussion it expressly refused
to commit itself to the Monroe doctrine in

United for self-Government.

Instead of developing into self-respecting
republics based, upon law, advancing in
morals and civilization, said the Senator,
the peoples of South America have shown
themselves, so far almost without excep-
tion, utterly untitled for self-government
Their so-called republics are largely and
usually military despotisms based on force
and relying on bloodshedding and assas-
sination for their establishment and for
tt cir brief continuances. The people are
ignorant and submissive; the rulers are ar
titrary and cruel The fact is that we
lave nothing in common with these coun-
tries.
'Thesa people, Mr.. President, although
alien in race, language and religion, are
entitled to our friendly and affectionate re-
gard. AS citizens of sister republic we
eve them protection whenever the inter-
ests of free government or the cause Of
civilization is attacked by assaults upon
their autonomy. Beyond that point our OBJ
legation ceases. The description which
have given of the South American states
generally applies with added force to Vene-
Zuela. Ever since her contest with Spain
she has had revolutions at average inter-
vsls of eighteen months. Much of the
present friction between Great Britain and
Venezuela arises because of the recent de-
velopment of gold fields in southern Vene-
zuela. Where the vexed boundary line will
fir ally be located we cannot tell, but
sincerely hope it will rightfully be found
to place these rich mines where the Eng
disappearing people who develop them will
not be subject to the cupidity Of the half
breeds of Venezuela, and where the Eng
lish common law and the certainty of its
enforcement will throw over them shelter
and protection.
Critlcising the Resolutions.
1.-THE phraseology of the resolutions re-
ported by the committee, Mr.. President, is
as Objectionable as any language could be
which endeavored to assert in binding and
final terms a policy to which this govern
ment desired to commit itself in dealing
with the relations of foreign countries to
this hemisphere. The objection to 1t, in my
opinion, IS that Congress is not called upon
to give it's sanction to any policy to be pur-
sued toward the governments to the south
of US, and that at this particular juno ture,
further official action or legislation is un-
wise and can only accentuate the existing
unfortunate condition in which we have
placed ourselves.

Southcrn Cotton Mills.


The two most interesting statements in
the annual report of Secretary Hester of
the New Orleans cotton exchange, COW
ering the past year, are that the small
crop of last year had money value 2f
only about 100000 less than the enor-
nous crop Of the year before, and that
while the northern cotton mills took con-
siderably less cotton during the year than
they did during the year preceding, the
southern mills took great deal more.
The commercial crop of last year, as
already noted in our dispatches. was T.,
157, 346 bales, against a commercial crop
of 1901, 251 for the year preceding. The
crop actually grown last year, however,
according to Mr.. Hester's calculations,
was only sSh.OOO bales, the difference be-
ing carried over from the great crop of
1S94-95. The commercial crop represents
a falling off of nearly two and three-quar-
ter million bales. But, thanks to the high
er prices received, the loss in value was
only little more than one dollar for each
bale short. The average commercial val
tie of the crop of last year was $4l.Oe,
against $50 for the year before.
According to Mr.. Hesters calculations
with regard to cotton mills. the mills of
the south are steadily forging ahead
while those of the north are not doing
more than holding their own, if. indeed,
they are not dropping behind. The total
number Of mills now in the south is as,
of which 1856 were in operation during the
past year. The total number of spindles
is now 1888, 23s, as compared with 3,177, $40
on Aug. 81, 1895. These southern mills
consumed 9O4.7O1 bales Of cotton last year,
against S6283S for the year preceding, and
7ls,515 for the year of 1884. This shows
that the southern mills are constantly ex-
tending their operations. even in the
midst of commercial and financial depress-
ion. The mills of New England decreased
their consumption of cotton by half a mil
lion bales, in round numbers, showing
that they cannot compete with the south
ern mills, and are forced to curtail their
operations under certain conditions while
the southern mills go on manufacturing
and adding new 'pindles.
The mills of the south are virtually in
the midst of the cotton fields; they can
purchase their supplies at their very
doors, thus saving the cost of freights
and handling, which the northern mills
must pay. The hours of work are longer
in the south than the north; fuel is cheap
er, and not so much of 1t is needed here
as there. There are many matters in
which the south has the advantage; and
northern spinners are beginning to recog-
nize them by removing at least part OF
their establishments to the south. Sew
eral branches of northern mills have been
planted In the south, and others are to
follow.
During the past year South Carolina
which has been in the lead in the matter
of production of cotton fabrics for some
time, still further increased that lead.
North Carolina comes second in the list
of producers, and is followed by Georgia.

some Herald Estimntes.

The New York Herald is becoming SEN
sational. 1t is giving out guesses as solid
information. For instance, it has dis
patch from Indianapolis In which the
statement Is made on alleged reliable es-
Inmates that the Indianapolis ticket will
receive $4,000 votes. One of the strange
things about these estimates is the failure
to make the total OF them even 100000
II would have been just as easy to make
them 100000 as 1900 short of that number.
There are of course great many gold
democrats, but they are not all going to
vote the Indianapolis ticket. A large
proportion of them will vote for Mr.. Nc
Kinley. Tens of thousands of them will
vote for Mr.. Bryan and some of them
will not vote at all.
If the Indianapolis ticket polls 100000
votes dt will do remarkably we'll. The
fact that an independent democratic tick
ct in 1872, when Horace Greeley was the
democratic presidential nominee, polled
only 10000 votes, ought to convince those
who are so enthusiastic in support of the
Indianapolis ticket that an independent
movement like that inauguarted at In
dianapolis doesn't take very strong hold
upon the people
But let us see where the Herald's CORE
spondent gets his $4,000 votes. He claims
$1,000 in Alabama and 10000 in Arkansas.
1t must be evident TO everybody who
knows anything about the political sit
uation in either of those states that 10000
would be a big vote in Alabama for the
Indianapolis ticket and 5000 in Arkansas
would surprisingly large.
The correspondent says that Florida
will give the gold standard democratic
ticket 5000 and that Georgia will give It
10000. A statement like that is simply
preposterous. There are sound money
democrats in both of these states, plenty
Of them. but there are not $4,000 in Florida
and 10000 in Georgia who are going to vote
for Palmer and Buckner. We should not
be surprised II the indianapolis ticket got
1900 in Florida and 1000 in Georgia. The
highest estimate we have heard for Geor-
gia is 5000. and that was made by one of
the most enthusiastic of the gold stand
dard democrats We are inclined to think
that Georgia will give the indianapolis
ticket a number of votes nearer 5000 than
1OOO0-the great majority of sound money
democrats having already declared for the
Chicago ticket
We are not so well acquainted with the
political conditions which exist in other
states. but we do not hesitate to say that
all of the estimates are far beyond
the truth. They are guesses by men who
are familiar only with the sentiment OF
their respective neighborhoods.
The Herald, OF course. argues from the
figures It publishes that Mr. Mckinley
will be elected by an overwhelming ma
jority. That outcome OF the contest would
