that all Virsinans are created equal in
this respect We repeat that some are
born Generals and Colonies and Majors
and Captains, respectively and many are
born privates. Let the fittest survive and

OF creating Coionels. u, 1t smacks over
much Of monopoly and tends to create a
Trust.
No. no. Let the people decide for them
selves. Let us create our Generals and
our Colonies and our Majors and our
Captains as we create our Governors
by popular vote. Then there will be no
mistakes. Then all deserving men will
have titles that by nature belong to them
and undeserylng men will remain in the
ranks. Vox populi IS the stuff.

Recently published statistics relating
to the cotton manufactures of the south
show that the number of mills has in.
creased from $50 in 1880 to 400 in 1898,
the number of looms from IA 900 in 1880
to 900 in 1895, the number of spindles
from 667 900 in 1880 to 4, 100, 900 in 1898,
and the capital employed from S2l ,900,-
600 ia 1880 to 1925, 100000 in 1865 Con-
sidering that this phenomenal growth of
nearly 700 per cent. has happened, prac
tically all of it, under protective tariff
and that the prosperous condition of the
mills of that section today is enjoyed
under the same law which applies in
New England it is difficult for the low
tariff orators to make political capital
out Of the fact that the New England
mill owners have found it necessary to
reduce wages because Of southern com.

ohial pneumonia communicated by par
rots, has broken out in Genoa, IA cases,
eight of them fatal, being traced to .
single importation of two sick Bra
lillian parrots. The health board has

parrots as pets. At Berlin the veter-

close confinement and discomfort of the
