The Price Of Cotton.

u TABLE Of statistics prepared by
I n treasury department show
ing the production and the price
OF cotton in every year since 1872. Is
furnishing the Southern a
fruitful theme Of discussion. In 1872
cotton brought 22.ls cents a pound and
the United States produced seventy per
e Of the entire crop OF the world.
Since that time the worlds annual con-
sumption Of cotton has increased four
fold and the United States has more
han kept pace with the increase. In
stead Of furnishing but seventy per
cent, the southern states now furnish
eighty-five per cent of the worlds cot
ton supply. But the price has fallen
to one-quarter what IL commanded in
is72.
Improved agricultural machiery has
enabled the cotton planters TO grow
their crops with greater economy. The
utilizing OF what were once waste pro-
ducts has increased the but
still all the hands which are employed
in the cotton industry appear to be at
the limit Of their powers. Cotton can
not be raised in this county with profit
at fve cents or less a pound. unless an
other inventor ome TO the rescue with
machinery which w1l further eliminate

Traitor Tom.

From the Great Falls Tribune.
Tom Carter enjoys "a good many nick
names. Traitor Tom Is one of the most
significant and best deserved. He earned
IL by the brazen way In which he has sold
out and betrayed every individual or prin-
ciple which he professed to cherish when
ever such individual or such principle In
any way interfered with his own selfish
advantage. Elected to the United States
senate by the votes of silver men. and
under the most solemn pledges to be true
to silver. he deserted the cause in its
greatest need. playing the old part OF
traitor again with smooth facility which
comes from long practice in the role.

HE report Of the United States
commissioner Of navigation COW
ering the operations OF the 6s.

ering the operations of the fs-
cal years 1897 and 1898 presents some
striking facts as to the size of the new
craft on the great lakes as compared
with those built on salt water. The
average tonnage of the vessels built on
the lakes during the last two years ex-
ceeds s26 tons. while on the Pacific coast
the average was 1856 tons. on the Allan
tic and gulf coasts 141 tons and on the
western rivers ia tons. The rapid in
crease in the average size of the lake
vessels has had no parallel in the de-
velopment of the merchant marine in
other parts of the United States. In
the two years the lake region quilt II
per Of the total number of vessels
built in the United States n 41Is per
cent. of the new registered tonnage.
The average tonnage OF the new ves-
sells built on the lakes was over 500 tons.
and that of the vessels built in all the
rest of the United States a little less
than l47 tons.

what L. Needed In France.

FROM the st. Louis Republic.
France does not need fighting to pull her
away from the cataclysm toward which
she has been drifting as a result Of indulg-
ing in hat expensive luxury which our
own republican Hamiltonians are advo-
cating-a large standing army. She needs
the wisest. most honest and patient
craftsmanship she can summon to weed
out the abuses that are digging her grave.
TO run down her rascals I'm public offices
and punish them. to introduce firm and
simple methods into her administration
instead of the militarism and mockery of
justice which prevail there.

Reform In Army Affairs.

From the New York World.
Whether we increase the regular army
or not, one thing We must do II We are to
be tolerably ready for our next war. We
must create a general stan of trained and
experienced officers and we must place
the practical conduct of operations in
their hands. taking Il out of the hands Of
a probably incapable secretary of war
and the pretty certainly incapable horde
OF stan officers To whom the president Is
Induced by useful politicians To give
places for the duties of which they are
utterly unit.

a Pleasant Incident.

From the Miles City Times.
one of the most pleasing incidents of the
Anaconda convention attended the speech
OF Alexander Gillespie in se~conding the
nomination of A. ]. Campbell for con-
gress. Dawson county was assigned the
box to the left of the stage. and as II
would accommodate more persons than
comprised the delegation, several ladies,
wives or friends OF the delegates, were
seated with them. In finishing his remarks
Mr.. Gillespie stated that the delegation
from Dawson were unanimous in second
ing the nomination. and the house was
taken by storm.

Indian Wars.

~ HEsE Indian wars are pretty
small fry In comparison with
the international wars of his

bloody and expensive enough. They
have costs thousands OF lives and mill

publishes this list Of the more impor-
