1.-The Nashville Students have had
sixteen years Of continuous success, and
during this time they have appeared in
all the great halls and concert courses Of
the country. They have testimonials to
show for it. When Henry Ward Beech

the Nashvllles sing for him at his church,

delight from the singing Of the Nashville
Students than he did from the rendition

CORRUPT RIGHES.

We yieid to no one in tne high res peet we entertain for the man who by industry, energy and wise eeon- emy, has achieved wealth in any oe- eupation by q fair competition in the open field with his fellow.man. We have no feeling but admiration for such mar, and we rejoice to see him blessed with the comforts and luxuries of life which he has fairly won. He is a glorious exam. pie for our young men who are grow ing up. By as much as We admire such man, by so much and more do wo despise the men who have gained wealth by vile scheming and triekery, who have banded with men like themselves to corrupt our Leg
 islative bodies, that legislation may be secured allowing him to pillage his fellow man, who debauch our courts so that they may be pro tected in the possession of their plunder; who spead their days and nights, when the honest man is hard at work or taking needed rest l in planning their black schemes for seizing and enjoying what others work for; who thus concoct their plots for cutting off the supply of money, so that what is left in their hands may be doubly valuable; and who form their trusts and combines for driving other men from business and absorbing it all. so they may fix
 their own prices for buying and sell ing, and who, gorged with fabulous riches thus obtained, use this wealth
 rightfully belonging to the people, in buying elections and installing in office, high and low. such men as will carry out their behests. The colossal fortunes possessed by indi.
 viduals in this land were nearly all
 acquired in this manner. The men
 who have so obtained them are the chiefest enemies to the country. Such men and their methods can only be despised and condemned by every honest citizen Memphis i Herald.

North standinding today as it did in 1890, and the South having doubled.
 The Republic takes pleasure n presenting these facts and figures to it's readers as undeniable ev- idence of the sure prosperity and further great development of the New South. It believes that the time is not far distant when the Southern States will have virtual monopoly of cotton spinning in this country. Not only would this re- suit in mar6ed increase of mauufac turing wealth in the South, but it would mean also very material iessening in tue cost of cotton goods to the consumer the saving of freights on raw cotton to the East. ern mills; on the great bulk of man. ufactured goods shipped back to the South, Central Western and South westhern States, where the cotton was grown, and all the 'middleman charges that hitherto have been paid to commission merchants and the buyers for Eas tern mills.

COTTON R7LLS

4 Republic editorial of recent date, directing attention to the marked in crease in the cstablishnentof cotton. spinning mills in the South, has led to the production Of further facts and figures making m even better showing than those upon which the editorial in question was based.
 Most significant among these new facts are those furnished by the United States Commissioners of Labor, showing the growth ot the industry in the South as compared with that in the North, once the ex- elusive possessor. The figures show an increase of l50 per cent in the volume of cotton manufacturing in the South in the 10 years from 1880 to 1890.
 For the North in the same time the increase was but q per cent The increase noted Tn the Southern States resulted in nearly doubling the number of cotton factories, more than doubling the number ot employees, and tripling the am punt Of wages paid.
 From 1890 to the present time a corresponding growth in the South cru States has been made. Of the record during that time, in North and South, the Secretary of the New Orleans Cotton Exchange says The changes in percentages North and South during this period of eight years are strikingly suggestive. In 1890 76.7 percent Of our domestic consumption of raw cotton was North and 366 was South. ID ntber words, in the former period { Nortbern consumption was IS to5, Whereas today # is IS to 10, the

PR0sPERITY AND COTTON

We have little 10 be thankful for in that line. True, the wheat crop has failed in Europe, and that creates an extra demand for our surplus, and the price of wheat has greatly advanced Every man Of us has to pay more for his bread The South produces little or no wheat, and we have to buy it in eomoetition with the hungry Europeans. But we do raise cotton, aud how has the re- turning prosperity affected that? Two weeks ago middling was selling for 7s; now middling sells for G ! decline of II cents There is no great promise of an extra large crop either.

ELSEWHERE in this issue we publish an editorial from the St Louis Republic on the growth of the cotton mill industry in the South. If the State Of Arkansas wants to keep pace with her sister States in the South, we should establish one or more cotton mills. And Pine Bluff would be an excellent location for a first class cotton factory.
