The New south Caro2na.
When Cas remembers that but little
more than. a generation ago South
Carolina only without a factory
of any kind but made a specially of
the manufacturing interests
OF the North. it seems strange to hear
that she now leads all the Southern
States IN cotton manufaeting. She has
tifty-fOur mills running at present,
operating in all nearly l,0O0,9O0
spindles and consuming yearly 49,
767, 0t2 pounds of cotton. Her cotton
crop this year will bs in round num-
bers 800, 900 bales, OF which the home
mills will consume "a 900, or about 40
per tent of the entire crop. This is
much better than multiplying tariff laws
or seeding from the union on account
of slavery.-Indianapolis Journal.

An illustration OF what d plucky

by Mrs. S. j. Battey, who vas left a
widow in early life, and went from her

conducted with great success, educat-

This season, in the great wheat
growing section of the San Joaquin
Valley, a giant harvester has been in
use which cuts, thrashes, and sacks
the wheat growing on 100 acres daily.
This machine, when all sickles are in
use, cuts the enormous swath of fifty
two feet. Eight or ten men can handle
it easily, and it turns out from 1,400
to 1900 sacks of wheat in a ten-hour
day.

the skins must be perfectly dry and

Press Views of Tuesdays Elections
and Their Effect.

Press Views of Tuesdays Elections
and Their Effect.
The elections held in the year imme-
diately following a presidential con
test are almost invariably marked by
a lack of interest and apathy by which
the party which has won the previous
contest is always the greatest sufferer.
So the Republicans had no reason to
expect that they would be able to poll
anywhere this month the heavy vote
which they polled last November. But
they did have reasOn to expect that of
the gold Democrats who voted for Nc
Kinley last year many would not vote
at all or would vote for regular Dem
ocratic candidates if the free silver
issue was not crowded on them too
energetically.
The Democratic vote would have
fallen off this year proportionately
about as much as the Republican had
it not been that in some of the States,
like Iowa and Nebraska, the Bryan
ties made a desperate attempt to rally.
They hoped that in view of the antici-
pated Republican apathy they might
be able to win a few victories. But
their expectations have not been real
lied.
So the Republicans have no reason
to feel disappointed with the result
except in New York and Ohio. . Else
where they have held their own as well
as could have been expected. They
haye no reason to look forward with
apprehension to the elections of 1898.
The free silver cause certainly has lost
ground.-Chicago Tribune.

I'D, J. HE lNDEPENDENT.-
Avsst there, Mr.. Star, you say
that Captain Palmer, "is not worth
considerations" etc. Aud then you
fly in passion-lose your head and
prevaricate; besides using almost
column of the Star in abusing the
fair name of the noble and gallant
Captain, for doing the honorable in
the cause OF justice against the en-
croachment of greedy parasites. He
spits thus: "What was the monarchy
here2 Merely a tolerated system OF
government. During the period OF
the Monarchy who were the real
rulers2 By no means the Hawaiians."
Hishl me darling-such grating
sounds may wake the baby, The
Monarchy-most beloved Star man
was a benign government, creating
prosperity, peace, contentment and
happy people. But what is it
now7 An oligarchy held in sway by
guns, spies and sneaks-causing hard
times, anger and discomfort the nest
egg OF anarchy. For the last fifty
years up to 1893 during the Mon
archy, no law was made and carried
through, without the solid votes OF
Hawaiians. They were always in a
large majority in every Legislature.
During all those years, up to 1887
this country was fortunate in having
brainy, capable and honest leaders,
that Hawaiians placed implicit con-
fidence in, and slept in safety. The
Spencer Ministry were capable and
honest men, but did not suit the
missionary fraternity, therefore we're
through devilish bribery, hurled out
OF Office. And thus the game pro-
gressed - Cabinet after Cabinet
through 'impious purity" were also
hurled from office; to make way for
mad editors who cultivate the gun
and spy system, quser rulers, and
the down grade run Of puritanical
churchianity, that encourages decep-
tion in order to gain annexation,
which they don't want, but are
forced to gulp down, as they now
forsee it to be their only salvation.

We arc pleased to record de-
crease amounting to over S25, 900 in
the military expenditures in 1896
and decrease of nearly $4,000 in
the expenses OF the Attorney Cen
erals Department during the same
period. At the same time We regret
to notice increased expenditures in
the civil list (whatever that may be)
in the Foreign and Judiciary Des
partments and in the Miscellaneous"
Department where some $4,000 were
spent more in 1896 than in 1895. We
presume that most Of the "increase"
referred to is due to the numerous
junketing expeditions which the
Executive Council recently have
sent abroad but of which the report
furnishes no information.
