Of the 81 cotton mills in this
country 81 are in operation in the
South and running on full time
and paying handsome dividends to
their owners. The time was when
all the cotton mills of the country
were located north Of Mason and

not far distant when all such estab-
lishments will be in the Southern
states, including one in Covi.gton.
Remember the entertainment in

No Salvation for the Major.

story, as recently enacted upon an Australian liners
" A shy Australian Major. after spending the FIRST
evening very late with his friends In the saloon, sud-
denly returned to them after saying Good night
and requested an interview with the purser. He wns
very white. There is a lady. he said, in my cabin
No. az Rubbish! exclaimed the purser. Here's
the list; your companion is Capt. Higginson.' Moth
ing will induce me 10 go into the cabin again. said
the Major. Well. I'll co. ~rejoined the other. He re-
turned with great celebrity, and with a face as white
as the Majors. Upon my life. you are right. Wen
put you somewhere else for the night, and see about

sought the steward and demanded an explanation.

Honor to Them.

To the two Republican newspaper Of
Brooklyn, the Times and Standard Union,
we present the assurance of our most dis
tinguished respect. Notwithstanding the
desperate efforts of Mugwumpery to draw
them into the camp of the enemy, their
labors in behalf of the ideas for which they
fought last year, represented now by BEN
AMI f. TRACY, lave been as earnest and
unremitting as the Importance of the con.
test calls for.
Honor also to the anti-Platt Republicans,
particularly those associated with Mayor
STRONG, such as EDWARD MITCHELL and
S. ". h. CRUGER, who at this crisis have
sternly suppressed the thought of faction
and have turned to the support of the Re-
publican candidate, Gen. Tracy, with a
determination unsurpassed by any Of his
original followers.
Honor also to such Democrats as BouRKE
COCHRAN, who have scorned to take the
comfortable seat that Mr.. Low offered to
them, wherein they might watch the fight
between Tammany and the Republicans as
neutrals free of responsibility for the re-
suit. Mr.. CoCKRAN'S meeting tomorrow
night will show that thousands of honest
money Democrats are with him in his sup
port of Gen. TRACY. Go and hear him, or
read and follow him.

The Explorer In Politics.

To THE EDITOR OF THE sUS-Sir: Voters OF the
Fifth Assembly district are puzzled by a circular they
received through the mails this morning. The circu.
lar is ostensibly In the interest Of William Aston
Chanler. A. u. Hon. Harv.) F. r. G. S., and honorary
member OF the Royal Geographical Society OF Vienna.
Mr.. Chanler is the Tammany .hugwump candidate for
Assemblyman from the Fifth. The circular is signed
by nineteen gentlemen who profess the deepest arec.
ton. friendship. admiration. and confidence toward
Mr.. Chanler.
But. sir, behold in the wording of the circular what
sort OF friends Mr.. Chanler is su1ering from
Tho candidate, now 80 years OF age, is qualified
by education, experience and inclination, above all
his opponents. to properly represent this Assembly
district. Since his majority he has spent three years
in African e1plorations.' Then follows q list OF the
honors conferred upon him in recognition OF his
prowcss as an African explorer.
Is THIS a hu Tor the negro vote OF the Fifth, which
Is not Uncomfortable? OR is It a left.handed Compli.
ment to the Irish? Or Is II an indiscriminate tribute
TO the typographical peculiarities OF Greenwich vii.

have a higher opinion of the solidity of the
American character than Mr.. Low but to
those who will descend to the level OF his
feeling his reasoning will DO seen to be
logically prepostsrnrS; 1t is humbug.
Political sentiment in this country Is no
butterfly. 1t acts with elaboration and
consistency, and nothing short of revolu-
ton can affect it greatly. Even with the
upheaval of Organism, the vote of the
Greater New York was changed by n
small percentage only. The country Is
still shocked and burdened with the
danger of Organism, which in New York
Ia tercer than ever before. The head of the
Republican ticket is an able and honored
man, a stalwart representative of the patri-
otto policy for which the better judgment
of New York city has already fought tri-
u%mphantly, and for which it knows that
It must still keep vigilantly on guard.
To imagine that unde these circum-
stances an independent self-seeker, de-
%nouncing the country's traditional system
of political action, himself spotted with the
evidence of personal insincerity and openly
allied with the sinister forces which in
other forms are seeking directly the over
throw of Republicanism, can make any
serious inroad upon Republican sentiment,
Is to imagine a thing as evil as 1t is vain.
1t would be contrary to common sense and
to human nature for success to follow
Mr.. Lows effort at Republican disruption.
To suggest it is to SANDER the intelligence
and patriotism Of American voters. Such
a thingnever has been known it cannot be
1t will not be, this year.
Against Tammany and GEORGE Gen.
TRACY is the only contending force. A
patriot can shout for him and express the
bottommost feeling of his heart. Roll up
the TRACY vote till it overtops VAN
WYoK's and GEORGES by thousands upon
thousands, and sets up here in this great
metropolis n beacon hat will light honest
men and industry to a victory in the Con-
gressional elections of 1898 and crush the
final effort of Organism in 1900.
Despise the Low roorback about the
injury that he has dom to TRACY and vote
the Republican ticket like men.

The Greatest Of the Elections.

We are receiving letters from all parts Of
the Union bearing witness that the only
election as to which there is everywhere
deep anxiety is this Greater New York cleo.
ton. The newspapers from far and near
treat 1T asthe one great and pivotal election
otthe year. 1t overshadows everyother with
Its Importance in the eyes of the nation.
Is 1t, then, a "local contest" only2 The
Bryanites from Maine to Texas do not so
regard 1t. The s~ingle-taxers are confident
OF the triumph of HENRY GEORGE, and
avail it rs the dawn of a new era of social
revolution extending through the civilized
world. Already his nomination for Presi.
dent by the Democratic party in 1900 is
prophesied freely. Republicans, Demo.
Gratis, and Georgeites recognize that the
Greater New York election is the beginning
OF that campaign, and GEORGE himself
declares 1t to be such in his speeches.
Only here in New York are there any
people who refuse to see its tremendous
Significance; but before this week is over
their number will be few. The stake in this
election is the prosperity of New York. Is
the greatest of American cities, the second
city Of civilization, to give its verdict for
the security of property and civilization, or
Is it to reinforce their enemies and stimulate
them throughout this republicl That Is
the question everybody outside OF New
is asking.
How absurd 1t is In a campaign so mo-
mentous to encourage a childish evasion of
the issue with a candidacy like Lows.
How can it be possible for men of common
sense to continue to regard it seriously up
to the last2 Low, VAN WICK, and GEORGE

country. The united Republicans alone can
elect him, but the interests of this great
centre of wealth and civilization require
that his victory shall be so decisive in its
emphasis that the whole world will be inn
pressed by it, n extend its fullest con.
fdence to New York as invincible in its
solid conservatism.
The Low campaign is sheer madness. The
George campaign is social revolution. The
Tammany campaign insults the intel
ligence. Only Gen. TRACY deserves the
respect and confidence Of enlightened men.

A House of Cards?

Nothing Is more precious to this commu-
nifty than a stable Government, and the
popular belief that the Government is sta
BILE. They are the foundation of liberty
n the sheet anchor of industrial pros
perity. Fortunate is the Empire State in
having for its Governor a representative of
the party of law and order, like the Presi-
dent at Washington. Fortunate it has been
for the city of New York that. at the time
when these officers were chosen, its own
political majority was in their favor. That
Republican majority existed in this State
and a Republican majority existed in this
city has been a comfort and stimulus to
business throughout the United States.
Is this invaluable combination to be
broken up2 Are we to lose the sustaining
Influence of Republican power in New
York; Here is where disintegration must
begin, If it is to be. If it is not to be, here
will be the proof. If New York city is car
ried against the Republicans, led by 30
commanding a candidate as Gen. TRACY,
the prospect that the Empire State will en-
dure the same fate later, and later still
that the country at large will endure it,
will be in the highest degree alarming.
The city of New York is the outpost of
anti-Bryan success in the nation. If it is
not held on the side of the st. Louis plat
form, then, in the public eye, the national
Republican Administration will look moro
like a house of cards han a house founded
On a rock, and the chill of encouragement
and distrust will settle upon the country
that has just been viviied with the feeling
that stability in the Government would
be the order of the day, at least for a long
period of time.
Can any serious-mfnded and conservative
citizen hesitate in bringing the full force
