Hester's Figures and Southern Mills
Only those who keep themselves posted
about cotton manufacturing in the South
know how rapidly looms and spindles
have been Increasing in the South in the
last few years. To the great majority of
the Southern people. therefore, and per-
| haps, to the great majority of the people
| of the whole country, the report of Sec
| rotary Hester of ihe New Orleans Cotton
! Exchange, showing The distribution of last
| seasons cotton crop published yesterday,
was a great surprise. That report shows
that during the year of 1898 the South
ern mills used lS9, 40 more bales of cotton
than during the previous year. That is a
very remarkable Increase in the course of
u single year! But what is of special sig
nificance is the fact that the number Of
bales used by the Southern mills during
the year covered by the report was within
a third OF being as large as that used by
the Northern mills. The consumption Of
the Southern mills was about .25O,O bales
while that of the Northern mills was 1885,
600 bales.
1t has not been so very long since the
consumption of cotton in the South was
not half what it was in the North. Now
it is two-thirds, and at the present rate of
progress the mills of the South will be
taking more cotton than those of the
North before The expiration of five years
About all of the mills of the South were
prosperous during the period covered by
Mr.. Testers report. while those of the
North were constantly complaining of hard
times. quite a number of the Northern
mills were compelled TO shut down last
spring, and others discussed the advisable
ity of reducing wages.
There is no doubt that cotton fabrics
can be manufactured at less cost in the
South than in the North. The cotton man
ufacturers of the North are beginning TO
! admit that this is the case and quite Il
number of them have established plants
in the South.
For a long time it was contended that
while the South might manufacture the
! coarser cotton goods she could never COM
pete with the North in the manufacture OF
the finer grades. That argument is no
| longer advanced, except by few who do
| not want to admit the truth or who have
not given the subject sufficient considera-
ton to justify the expression of an opin-
ion. There is no longer a reasonable doubt
that the South offers as many advantages
for the manufacture of the finer grades of
goods as for the coarser. The only adj
vantage that the North has is a greater
abundance of skilled labor. The labor will
be Forthcoming in the South, however as
the demand for it arises.
We should not be at all surprised If be-
fore a quarter of a century elapses the
cotton manufacturing industry in the
South viii be twice as important as that
of the North. And il may turn out that
| within that time the United States will
manufacture nearly ali the cotton goods
demanded by the markets of the world

The Peace Proposition In German

The probability of the peace proposition
of the Car being accepted is very re-
mote. The feeling in regard to it in Ger
many Is expressed in The Beriinger Post
in what is believed to be an inspired arti-
Gle. In that article, according to our dis
patches yesterday, the following appears
Germany must remain armed and on
guard until France is willing to convert
her weapons into ploughshares.
The question is, when viii France be
ready to convert her weapons into plough
shares? Not, probably, until she has recov-
cred possession of The two provinces which
Germany took from her in the last war be-
tween the two countries. France regards
those provinces as part of her territory
and she Will never consent to a reduction
of her military establishment until she has
has obtained possession of them, or at least
made an effort TO get them. And it is Ger
tain that Germany will not consent to give
them up In order to bring about the ac-
ceptance Of the Cars peace proposition
or for any other reason which is now APP
parent Therefore, the outlook for the sue
cess Of the Cars peace plan Is by no
means encouraging.

Chicago proposes to more than match

Thirty-four elevators are to lift the peo-
pie to the regions above. There will be
this difference between the Paris arch

while the former is a state monument the
latter is TO be a commercial enterprise.

energy and good progress. On the princi-

ed. There remains some work to be done
vet, but that it will be quickly disposed of
may be judged from what has been ac-
complished already.

II seems that there must be an accom-
panying scandal with each issue Of gov
eminent bonds. Il will be remembered
that at the time Of the allotment of the
issue of some two years ago several large
blocks Of bonds were bid for and secured
by persons VINO had not a ceat with which
TO pay for them, but who sold their priv
tleges TO, dealers and secured big profits on
an investment of nothing in the world save
cheek And now it appears that many of
the bids of the late popular" war Joan
were fraudulent, in that the real bidders
were represented by persons whose names
they hired for the occasion. Meanwhile.
il does not appear that the government
has been defrauded out of anything. 1t
fixed price for the bonds and the bid
ders offered TO pay that price.

The doctrine of sanctiication by love,

What objections could the men of Bat

Wilbur. E. Fisher, who has been
at Porto Rico for about three
months with the Volunteer Engineer
Corps, arrived in town Saturday
evening. The entire regiment is off
on sixty day furlough. He says
civil life on the far off island would
not be SO bad, but when it comes to
military life, why it is different.
He has known it to start in and rain
for two whole weeks without cessa-
ton. The whole regiment is very
desirous to get out of the service,
and he rather expects to be muster
ed out at the expiration of the fur
lough.
