DON'T BE STINGY.

II 1t Is in order we wish to make a
motion. 1t Is that If five cents happen
to be left after all the expenses of col
Letting the street-sprinkling assess
ments are paid they be used to buy pea
nuts with for the benefit of the director
of the elevator in the City Hall. We
do not think it would be consistent to
have any petty economy disfigure our
grand municipal blowout. Let it all go
and sober up afterward. And the argu-
ment for spending the surplus for pea
nuts for the director of the elevator is
unanswerable. He Is good fellow and
good Republican. We don't know
that he is a Young Republican, but
he helps uplift those who are Young
Republicans. He likes peanuts and
he ought to have some. If there is
any doubt about the legality of buy
ing some for him with the unex-
pended assessment money it can be de-
Tended, we think, on the broad ground
of public policy. 1t Is surely for the
public good that he should be cheered
and encouraged. He is responsible,
among other things, for the safe ele-
waiting of our head man, and If he feels
that his devotion to duty is appreciat-
ed he will be apt to direct the elevator
with even more skill and care than he
has hitherto exercised. And again, he
is a good Republican, and, for all we
know, a Young Republican. Therefore
buy peanuts for. him IL it turns out that
five cents are left after the other ap-
preparations for the benefit Of good and
Young Republicans have been paid out.
Don't be stingy

COTTON MANUFACTURING

Some statements made by Mr.. Curtis
Gould at the recent meeting of the Cot
ton Manufacturers association in Bos-
ton will surprise those who have not
kept close watch of the changes in the
cotton industry. He congratulated his
hearers on the fact that the increase In
cotton manufacture in New England
during the last decade had been double
that of the southern States, notwith-
standing the fact that this period has
marked the greatest prosperity in the
South. To-day Massachusetts, alone
has forty-two per cent. of all the spin
dies employed in the country. But he
admitted that some branches Of the in
dustry are moving South, generally
those branches which deal with coarse
goods, in which the South Is able to
save about one half per cent. a pound
in manufacturing them at home. This
movement Mr.. Gould attributed to GER
tain advantages the industry enjoyed,
such as local exemption from taxation,
cheaper labor, and the laxity of the
laws regulating labor in the south, to
remedy which he advocated a uniform
labor law, without explaining how such
law could be obtained. Another I'M
welcome part of Mr.. Gould's address
was that in which he informed his
hearers that there are more spindles in
Japan to-day than in either New York,
Maine, North Carolina or South Carroll
ma, and that they are increasing every
day; that Japan has already far out
stripped the home production of raw
material and has begun to draw from
China, India and the United States and
is now competing with us in the foreign
markets.

of the governor of Massachusetts are
the chief missionaries and exemplars of
comeliness, splendor and broad-shoul-
dered pomp. Wherever they go they
are followed by reverent crowds. The
sight of them spurs all beholders to a
keen desire for pulchritude. There is
no other braid like their braid. Their
buttons are more beautiful than sun
rise. The dangling of their swords Is
sweeter than the evening star. View
ing the capes of them and the coats of
them, rainbows go and brown them
selves. And now brutal committee
waits these flowers of art to be raised In
the dollhouse. Wants the staff to be
graduated from the army, navy or MI
litia. Somebody will be wanting to
borrow the Hermes of Praxiteles to
hang old clothes on next. As for the
absurd notion that a military title
should not be given except for military
service, it strikes at the most hallowed
traditions of titular distinction. Titles
originally military are easily trans
ferred to civil life. At the same time,
there is somethngi In the opinion that
the proper handle of a member of the
staff of the governor of Massachusetts
would be P. B., Professor Of Beauty
