M.KrNI.FY.s FrRsr MnssAam.

The extraordinary session of congress
convened yesterday. The message Of
President Mckinley was prompt and
short and In keeping with his inaugural
address. He says the current expendi-
lures are greater than the receipts, and
such condition has existed for the past
three years That with unlimited means
at our command we are increasing our
debt by borrowing money to meet the
ordinary expenses of an economical adj
rninistration The condition of the rev.
enue. he says, which allows it is UNJUST
ifiable= and should be corrected.
The president gives compare tive fig-
ures from the treasurer's report to show
that the relative expenditures and re-
ceipts Of revenue has been Inadequate
for the ordinary expenses of the govern
ment. Even if the revenue had been
sufficient" he continues. lit may be
urged that the gold reserve would still
have been insufficient to meet demands
upon it. and that bonds would have nee
essarily been issued fer its repletion."
Here the willy president evadea a discus
sion and concludes by saying: without
denying or affirming the correctness of
such conclusion, that debt would have
been Increased ~ at least to the amount
of the deficiency and business confidence
immeasureably strengthened throughout
the country"
He urges congress to promptly correct
the existing conditions. and chat ample
revenues be supplied for ordinary ex-
penses and for liberal pensions and the
liquidation of the public debt. and sug-
gests the levying of duties upon foreign
products to the preserya ton of the home
market to- raise this revenue.
Upon a whole the message is directed
almost in its entirety to the tariff ques-
ton. to the exclusion of all else that will
reinstate confidence and produce prosper
ity IN this country.

NEGRO LABOR IN FACTORIES.

Much interest is felt in the experiment
of negro labor in southern cotton mills.
Those who favor such a step say that the
negro is peculiarly adopted to such work,
being acclimated and having the pa
thence and endurance. The negro has
shown some aptitude for working with
machinery, and at the mines and fur
naces in the Birmingham district some of
them haye risen to responsible positions.
In eastern iron mills several negroes
have been imported from the south and
are employed in skilled branches of mill
work, such as rolling pudding. heating.
etc In the north. however the negro
meets with prejudice against his race
he does not have to contend with in the
south.
On the other hand, it is said that the
negro is not suited for skilled labor; that
he does not possess the watchfulness
necessary, and is not ambitious to rise.
In south Africa the operators of mines
find much trouble in getting the negro
to work The wages paid are very high
in proportion to the cost of living. and
the negro will work a couple of years and
save enough money to buy several wives,
and he makes them work for him the bal
ance of his life while he lives in luxurious
idleness. Thus high wages are ruinous
to labor, paradoxical though it may seem

A NEW YoRKER's VIEWS.

A good deal of idle talk is INDUCED in
about the antagonism to capital on the
part of southern legislatures. 1t is
sort of fad TO proclaim that if the laws
of thu southern states were only liberal
and fair to capital, there would be many
millions poured into investments in this
section. Every law introduced on which
an argument of this sort can be made is
heralded abroad as If it had already
passed into law. and no matter hS how
big a majority a law may be defeated
the legislature never gets credit fer that.
Quite in contrast with the unfair and
sensa tional critics is letter written by
the head of large financial institution in
New York, which has extensive dealings
with the south, and with Alabama in
particular. This gentleman spent two
weeks in Montgomery during the session
of the general assembly, and among
other things. he says:
while I was in Alabama a bill was
inadvertently passed that was unjust to
the foreign holders eff bonds of a city
The governor promptly vetoed 1t, and the
veto was sustained in the house by vote

burn their own property TO get the in

vent fraudulent preference of creditors
