JOINT DEBATE.
An Interesting Time Promised at the
Y. M. C. A. Tonight.

With the revival of debating in our
high schools, colleges and universities,
the pub ic generally is coming to take
more interest in form of o atOrical
exercise and intellectual training that
it was feared had about died out OF re-
cent years. The multiciplici,y of news
papers has been respOnsib, e for the de-
cadence of interest 10 debate, but
friends of the art in our institutions
of learning suddenly sensed the situa-
tion and by dint of hard work have
succeeded in arouSing in the student
mind what is hoped will be a perma-
nent interest in extempOraneous de-
bate.
1t is along this line that the debating
club was organized at the Y. M. G. A.
aud the soldiers at Fort Bliss have Or
ganized their Goth Century Literary
society. In the nature of things q
pleasant rivalry has developed between
the two organizations in the line of
matter Of debate. and tOpi2 ht represen-
tatives of the two organizations meet in
the Y. M. @. A. for joint debate.
The occasion is one of novel local
interest and the frie nds of education
ought to be out in full force tonight
to show the contestants by the support
of their presence that the efforts of the
two &c cieties are appreciated and that

LATEST advlces from the cotton-pro-
ducing sections ind cate that the cot
ton crop of lS97-9S will exceed 1,OOO,-
600 bales, and may reach u,5OO,OOO.
This is by far the largest crop ever
produced in the United States, which
furnishes the bulk OF the cotton OF the
world. The crop of the Uni ed State 8
has been increasing with wonderful
rapidity during the past quarter OF a
century, having been in 1872 only p
e75 900 bales. 1884, 600 in 1876, 6,575,-
600 in 1886, 1901, 900 in 1895, and over
II 600. 600 in lS97-9S. 1t will be seen
that the production has nearly or
quite quadrupled in % years, while
the increase in popu' alton of the world
has been but about % per cent, and it
ia. doubtless, to this fact, that cotton
nroduc,ion has increased twelve times
as rapidly as population, that the great
fall in the price of cotton is to be attri
buted,

Give Them a Rest

Pullman conductors in Mexico are
paid in god, but they are kep pit in per
petual motion owing to the mum Der
of excursions and specials arriving.
Some of them have not slept for IL
nights and they ssk the Herald to
speak for them. This having in
somnia thrust upon one is cruel indeed
H. is equal to the similar Chinese form
of torture. The Pullman company
will never heed anything we may say.
1t will continue TO allow the public to
pay its porters, and so aid the darby
wives and babies by fees literally
bestowed. and it will let the conductors
go mad. Conductors should conduct,
not sleep!-Mex. Herald

Fighting Standard 0 l.

The warfare against the deadly
American OIL" or 10 other words, the
agitation looking to the restriction of
the sale of the Standard Oil company's
product in Great Britain, has Re n
given a fresh impetus by report just
prir ted by the Public Con trOl Commit
tee of the London county council a. to
'sthe causes of petroleum lamp acct
dents and the measures necessary fOr
preventing them" After citing figures
showing that the yearly percentage of
fires in LOndOn caused by lamp eXplo-
Sous has been increased nine-fold dur
ing the last quarter of q century. the
conclusion is arrived at after comDar-
ing ev d nee for and against raising
the fash-point of the oil used, is that
the whole difficulty has been caused by
lowering the flash-pOiDt in the petrol
cum acts. l. is further stated that the
great opponent of any rise in the flash
point are the American Standard Oil
company, because the quantity of high
test oil they csn produce is limited. AS
an answer to the argumen OF those
opposing rise of the flash point the
report says that within the last few
weeks one of the Russian oil companies
has introduced to the English market,
the prices competing with the cheapest
petroleum oils. supply of Russian oil
with f1ash-point greatly in excess of
that of the American product, Canada,
Galicia and Roumania are mentioned
as possible sources for q further supply
of highest oil and the report con-
cludes by asking whether British lives
are to be always endange red for the
benefit of American SPECTATORS.

The Revival.

Inc REVIVAL.
"Looking unto Jesus" was the text
and theme of Wednesdays discourse il
the Baptist church revival by Rev.
DIR. Hanks. He illustrated this by call
ing attention to the cOud uct of athletes
in contesting for the first place in a
foot race. If any contestant
turns his head to see how q competitor
is doing, he is sure TO loose
ground, and If ne turns his head to
look several times, he is in danger of
being left entirely behind. We must
keep our gaze fixed intently on the
cross and press forward looking neither
to the right hand or the left in reach
ing out toward the g al, the mark Of
our high calling in Christ Jesus. boz
allow any Of the things of this world to
draw your attention to Oce side, ever
keep your gaz, fx=d on the Savior.
DR.. Hanks made powerful appeal to
his hearers, and several held up their
hands at the close of the sermon, as an
Indication of desire to lead
a Christian life. The pastor
called special attention to
the afternoon meetings which are held
at 800 p. ID. aud wished to see as many
p ople as could get out appear, and
urged that more general invitation
than ever be extended to the unsaved
to attend the afternoon and evening
