/ found Mr.. Roses southern hospi;
tality of the genuine sort. He talked
freely. frankly. pleasantly. 1t takes
time, he said. to get hands in a new
southern cotton mill; there Is generally
an influx of inferior help which has to
be weeded out. but the south is fast
working up to the proper standard.
There Is very little colored help en-
ployed in the mills. There was none,
except rs sweepers. in any of the mills
which / visited, and Mr.. Rose said he
knew OF only two or three mills in the
south employing other than white men,
women and children. The raising OF
cotton. however. the work in the field,
Is done almost exclusively by colored
people. There are no foreigners in the
mills, nor Is the labor organized.
A very general sentiment was ex-
pressed by Mr.. Rose when he said. at the
conclusion of our talk: "While il is true
the north and south fought 35 years
ago, and we may not agree as to which
was right then, we can agree that we
are all OF one nation now and must get
closer together"
Many mills OF the south are managed
by such young men as this, who. with
modern machinery, personal applications
to every detail of the business and deter
mination TO win, have attracted much
attention to their section of late. They
are of the new south, and let us not for
get that they are also of our own land,
that whatever they add 10 the glories
OF their section adds to the glories OF
America, that the present is a better
ment OF the condition of the labor of
their section when compared with the
past, and that the tendency is upward
and onward. e. @. PIPP.

IT'S WHOLESOME EFFECT.
Under Normal Conditions the DingIey
nil IL UnauestioEsbiy an AM
pie Revenue Producer.

While under the present law deficits
continue, the steady growth in revenue
gives assurance that under normal con-
ditions it is only a question of time
when the receipts OF the government
will be brought up TO the present rate
OF expenditures, with the probability
OF a moderate surplus available for re-
ducing the public debt.
As to the wholesome effect OF the
present tariff law upon the industries
OF the country as a whole, 1t Is evident
and unquestionable. Everybody who
gives any attention TO the matter knows
that industrial conditions have greatly
improved since the law went into ef-
feet; and, while IL may be admitted that
this improvement is not entirely due to
tariff legislation, 10 Is largely so. At
all events the fact Is indisputable that
IN all its material conditions the coun-
try is very much better of than IL was
under democratic tariff--stronger
financially, more active industrially and
enjoying more general prosperity.
There is no reason 10 doubt that prog
ress during the next year will be great
er than for the past year. To what ex-
tent the war will check progress is of
course n matter OF speculation, but that
IL will do so TO a greater or less de-
gree there can be no doubt.-Omaha

When the Cleveland administration
went into power IL did so with the ex-
pressed determination TO break down
the Mckinley tariff. II wrangled and
wrangled for months over the question
and finally brought forth n measure OF
"perfdy and dishonor," as democratic
president called Il, and II became law
without that presidents signature. The
country knows what a lamentable fall
ure that democratic congress was. Why
should we expect anything better from
a democratic congress on the Cuban
question IL IL were in power to-day?

THEN AND NOW.
listing During the Venezuelan Crisis
and In Our Present Difficulty

Contrast the condition of the treasury
and of the country now with that which
existed Mt the time of the Venezuelan
crisis in December, 1895. Now the
treasury has $751; ,000, 900 net gold, the
largest amount in nine years, and the
metal is coming from Europe by every.
steamer. Then, in 1895, the net gold in
the treasury was So, 262. 26o, and gold
was being exported at the rate of more
than sl.Oo0,O00 per day. Then the
endless chain" was in full operation,
draining the treasury gold for export
and for boarding, and there was not the
least confidence either in the tariff, the
political or in the financial policy of the
administration. Now the endless
chain" has ceased TO operate for nearly
IS months, or since November B. 1896.
Confidence in President McKinley's
administration is unbounded, and, did
normal conditions prevail, there would
be an increasing surplus revenue under
the protective tariff. President McKin-
ley's treatment OF the Hispano-Ameri-
can complications has been character
lied by dignity. frmness and modera-
ton, and the crisis of war has found the
country in n state of preparedness
which has not hitherto existed in it's
history.
1t is a mercy and blessing that the
country Is not obliged TO go 10 war un-
der the financial and industrial condi-
tions which prevailed under free-trade
administration.

DIED AT HIS POST.
A Reporter Who Was Faithful IN
His Work.

Matthew Donzelot Is still remembered
in Paris as one of the most faithful and
courageous men who ever served paper
as a reporter. His last assignment and
what came of il is told by M. Trimm in
the Petit Journal.
One day riot was apprehended, and
Donzelot was sent to the Pantheon to
report the events in that quarter. Al
ready the stones were flying, and the
lawless mob had begun 10 tear up the
streets and barricade them.
One of Donzelot's friends saw him IA
he was running by, and said to him i:
What arc you doing here? Run and
save yourself!"
Donzelot made no reply. and again his
friend urged him TO leave SO dangerous
spot.
Il am not going to move" he said;
"but as you are going, kindly take this
copy along with you 10 the paper; you
will save Inc time"
An hour passed, and the disorder was
at its height. The mob had already be-
gun TO clash seriously with the authori-
ties. Suddenly the earde rationale fired
a volley. and Donzelot fell, his breast
pierced by bullet. a surgeon rushed
UP to him.
You are hurt?" he asked.
"Yes," replied Donzelot, seriously.

"Never mind your pencil" returned

OF all the gloomy features Of that
gloomy afternoon. this obvious anxiety
on the part of Long John appeared the

II was so decided; loaded pistols

Hunter, Joyce and Redruth were taken
into our confidence, and received the
news with less surprise and a better
spirit than we had looked for, and then
the captain went on deck and addressed
the crew.

ARMS FOR GOMEZ.
Will Be Supplied by the q. S. Gov
eminent

New York, April 25.-A dispatch to
the Herald from Washington says:
Arrangements have been completed
by this government to supply the Gu
ban insurgents with arms and ammuni-
ton.
The government is preparing now to
land in Cuba from 5000 to 10000 stand
of improved Springfield rifles num-
Der of artillery batteries rapid fire
Maxim guns and an abundance of am
munition for the effective use of them.
1t cannot now be said when these
munitions of war will be placed in the
hands of the insurgents, but when the
proper time arrives for the 81, 900 arm
ed Cubans to cooperate with the
American forces they will be thorough
ly armed and equipped for battle.
When Estrada Palma and Brigadier
General Castillo visited the war depart
ment last week the plans for deliver
ing the arms were adopted. General
Castillo is thoroughly familiar with the
topography of Cuba and knows every
road that leads to the coast and to safe
anchOrageS for vessels.
This government will probably this
week send a vessel to a secluded place
along the coast. The vessel will have
on board the arms and ammunition so
anxiously wanted by the Cubans and it
will be protected by one or two gun
boats.
On shore the large Cuban force will
be in waiting. 1t is said that the entire
Cuban army may concentrate at this
point under the protection of the guns
of the warships.
The munitions of war will be landed
as rapidly as a large number of men
can do the work and the arms and am
munition will be taken to a place of
safety for distribution.
These arrangements have been made
by the Cuban junta and General CastiI-
10 in behalf of General Gomez and the
latter will be at the head of his army
to receive the arms when on the day
agreed they will be ready for delivery.
1t is understood that this government
will not deliver the arms to any person
but General Gomez, and he will as a
guarantee of good faith, receive them.
General Miles believes that if the in
surgents are properly armed and sup
piled with the artillery they have so
long needed they can do more effective
work and render the American troops
invaluable aid in driving the Spaniards
from the island.
