The Cotton Growers.

The low price OF our Southern staple
Is q matter OF serious concern. We
~sympathiZc with the growers Of cot
ton because the great body OF tho peo-
pie OF the State depend upon cotton
for a decent living; and second and
last because the writer has always,
land for no short timcl depended upon
this staple for his neceSsarics and the
few luXurics he has enjoyed He Is
therefore heart and soul with the men
and women who are growing it. Every
interest in the South Indirectly de-
ponds upon cotton: but the grower
more than any other is vitality con-
cerncd. The problem OF the low price
and "ow to restore it to a rcmuncra-
tive figure vGercfore should interest
and have the sympathy Of every man,
be he lawyer, doctor, banker, mcr-
chant, politician, money lender, or
what not. We regard any man a poor
citizen who poopQos the movcm ent now
discussed to find a remedy for tho
evil 1t is a dincult problem and

our soil, climate, efficient labor aud
great staple monopoly we ought TO be
Independent and grow rich. We hon
estly believe that there are artificial
devices in existence which control the
price. II however q sensible course is
pursued the reckless rascaIs can be
circumvented. The South should raise
its own meat and bread. Ten Stat cs
are enriched annually by our pur-
chases Of horses, mules, flour, meat
and lard. We can raise every hoof
and pound. There are obstacles as we
have said, AMI these are some; the
nonresident land lord, who wants n
rent article convertible into cash: the
poor man, white aud colorcd. who pays
a rem and depends upon credit to get
his supplies. The bank aud the sup
ply men usually rely upon cotton. The
wide-awake landlord and farmer should
see to it that every pound OF -four,
meat or corn consumed O. his lands
should be raised thereon. There will
still be an unthrifty man who Will
rent a farm, come t) the Court House,
buy a mule for $l25.0 90 credit, give Il
mortgage on this and another ~critter
and his buggy and saddle and the mex
November the crop will be short and
all will go under the hammer. These
must have our sympathy, but they
will grow fewer and far between. The
remedy lies largely in the independent
farmer setting tho example OF show
ing a self-sustaining home. In tx
meanwhile we are persuaded that CO.
operation among the cotton growers
will find a remedy against the evil we
complain against. And by the way, Of
course you will always be elbowed by
politicians:some fellow who wants an
office; you must expect him and he IS
generally a good follow. But stand
with the cotton growers and let us do
our best.

vegetarians Found a Hospital.

Vegetarianism has taken a stand in
England which entities it to respect
from people who are not entire believ-
ers in the doctrine. The restaurants
of the vegetarians are clean and they
provide a menu of reasonable variety.
One of the latest steps in the line of
the work has been the founding of n
vegetarian hospital, which a writer in
the London Daily Chronicle describes.
1t was started in 1895, though little
was said about it at the time, as the
founders did not wish to advertise il
until they were sure of its becoming
successful. 1t was to be for nOnvege-
tarians, it being understood that vege-
tarians are never ill. Consequently
there was some prejudice to overcome.
1t was also thought that there might
be difficulty in putting an invalid ac-
custOmed to eating meat suddenly up-
on Il vegetable diet. But no trouble
was found. patients did as well as
could be desired, and the result has
been altogether very satisfactory. The
hospital authorities believe that the
general increase of cancer is due 30 eX-
cess in meat eating. Pine baths and
massage treatment with plenty of
fresh air. are included in the hospital
regimen.-New York Times.

OHIO LEGISLATURE ORGANIZES
Preliminary Defeat for Hanna
How 1t Came About.

Columbus, Ohio, Jan. 4.-The legisla-
ture convened yesterday. Owing to the
senatorial contest unusual interest was
taken in the organization of both houses.
The caucuses Saturday night were not on
the usual lines, some republican members
having formed fusion with the democrats
for the defeat of Hanna.
AT the republican caucus Saturday
night Senator Burke (rep.) of Cleveland
same time nominated by the democratic
caucus as president pro TEN. The caucus,
at the same time, nominated Senator
Alexander as president. The nomination
of Burke meant not only his election, but
the election of the democratic officers of
the senate. Burke is opposed to the re-
election of Hanna. With party lines
drawn in the senate, Lieutenant Governor
Jones (rep.) would have the deciding vote
to cast, and he is opposed to Hanna
At the republican house caucus Satur-
day night there were only 50 present and
pledged to Alexander Boxwell for speaker.
Nine republican members were absent be-
cause they were opposed to Hanna and re-
garded BoXwell as the Hanna candidate.
Those nine republican members met with
the democratic members and indorsed
Harry G. Mason of Cleveland (anti Hanna
rep, for speaker. With these nine re-
publicans and AZ democrats, Mason would
have So votes-or one more than neces-
sary to elect.

EX-PRESIDENTS FOR SENATE.
Provision for Future Executives Ac-
cOrding to Montana Man.

New York, Jan. &c. L. Bonner of
Montana, in the course of a conversation,
made the suggestion that every eX-presi-
dent of the United States should be sent
to the senate. Mr.. Bonner, who is on his
way to Italy, and one of the wealthiest
citizens of Montana, where he has large
mining, agricultural and industrial inter
ests, said:
"There is one thing that should be set
tied, and that is the term of presidents
and the treatment of them when their
terms expire. I think president ought
to be elected for term of eight years and
then be ineligible for reelection. Upon
his retirement think he should be placed
upon a pension equal to one-half the sal
airy he drew as president. Thus he would
go into Office practically unfettered and
would not have to trim, politically or
otherwise, toward the future. / does not
seem to me that an eX-president should
be compelled to go to a small town and
practice law for living. l think he
should be sent to the senate, to remain as
long as he lives. His knowledge of the
affairs of the nation would be extremely
beneficial to that body"

Against the probability or possibility Of

was a cripple on crutches until a short
time ago, having used many things with
out benefit. Up to that time he had not
used st. Jacobs Oil. which, when used
cured him completely so that he walks
as usual. There is a probability that for
the rest of the season he will walk eau
tiously, with the precaution of having the

Report of the Monetary Commission
Regarding Currency Reform.

Washington, Jan. 4.-The report of the
monetary commission, containing the plan
of currency reform proposed by it, to-
gether with a full discussion of the sub
ject, with a mass of valuable statistics
and other information, has been sent out
by the executive committee of the Indian
apolis convention. The main points of the
argument include ground covered many
times by the commission. As to silver, it
says:
"We have 1854 1855 OBJ of notes of S.
and under, and SOC, l96,7SS of silver dol
lars in actual circulation, making a total
of $4l4,55l,S $40 of current money in use,
exclusive of gold, in denominations of ST.,
81 and So. Our total stock of silver dol
lars is $452,7l3,792 This is an excessive
quantity to have at the existing discrep-
ancy between their legal and actual value.
But with further coinage of them discon-
tinued and their parity assured by the
exchange of gold for them on demand, it
is better to retain them as they are than
to attempt a final solution at this time
of the problem which they present. By
withdrawing all silver certificates over S.,
and all other notes under $40, place will
be made for nearly all the silver dollars
in a way which will give the country the
full benefit of them for current use with
out imposing upon the treasury any Sc
rious burden in their maintenance"

Bank CIearin gs.

Those reliable indications of the bust
ness situation-bank clearings-point to
the year 1897 as witnessing the heaviest
business, both specula tive and commercial,
done since the record year, 1892, just
preceding the panic. The total clearings
at SO cities for the year, one week esti-
mated, aggregated at least $56926 100000,
a sum larger by II per cent than the total
of 1896, year of silver agitation and an
exciting presidential elections per cent
larger than 1895, the disappointing year,
when boom in iron and kindred pro-
ducts led to false hopes of business i'm
provement; 25 per cent over the year 1894.
when the depth of depression following the
panic may be said to have been reached;
5 per cent over 1893, the year of wide
spread disaster in financial and CONNER
cial circles, and only per cent smaller
than the total of 1892, when the boom
following the large foreign demand for
American breadstuffs and other products
reached its height.
Practically the entire gain in clearings
in 1897 was concentrated in the last six
months, and it is a significant fact that
the heaviest monthly total reported for
five years past was reported in the month
of December. Gains were heaviest in the
northwest, the middle and New England
states, and smallest in the south and
southwest, at the latter of which he trade
improvement was rather later in arriv-
ing.
The total exports of wheat flour includ-
ed as wheat) from both coasts of the
United States and Canada amount to s.
100000 bushels, or double those in this
week year ago. and 100000 bushels larg-
er than last week.
Corn exports are slightly smaller, ag-
gregating 4,Os6,OOO bushels, against A.
$4,000 bushels last week, and 2,742, 900
bushels last year.
Business failures for the Dominion of
Canada and Newfoundland for the calen-
dar year of 1897 amounted to 1927, with
total liabilities of $l3,2l9,OOO, falling off
of Is per cent in number and of 10 per
cent in liabilities from year ago.
