He sits all day long under the shade of tree clad in his pink pajamas. like the sultan of Sen egambia, and relates the story of his achievements over and over again to the throngs of eoored people and struggling whites, who stand with both their ears and mouths wide open, paralyzed with awe Like the editors of the yellow jour nals.

 Tempest.
The Effect at Fall River.
Editor

There are 1,700 empty tenements at Fall River, and the loss of population in that ocality is beginning to attract considera- ble attention. The Fall River papers are trying to account for it without admitting that southern competition is factor in the case, but the Fall River Herald is con strained to say:
 Nevertheless, the cold fact remains that the inhabitants of this city have been seek ing other occupations and the population has fallen off. They have not all left this center for their health. There is some req son for the course which they are pursu- ing. There is considerable territory beyond New England. It may not be rich in dol lars and cents at this moment, but it may possess attractions which offset the dollars and cents which are to be earned in fac- tories. If these same dollars and cents are not numerous enough to be satisfactory to those who are now toiling for them, the latter will go. and their places will be taken by others who are contented to ssl their labor for less money. Southern rivalry and various causes may compel northern cor poratfons to adopt a southern standard, but they will not compel the operatives of today to accept that standard without a protest and their protest will be filed in the form of an endeavor to better them selves. Northern companies can hold their own, doubtless, but they will hold their own under changed conditions decrease in the population of this city means more than the figures show.
 This means that material cuts in wages are to be made at Fall River; but as they are as low now as the cost of living in that harsh climate and on that unfruitful scl admit of, it is not strange that people are moving away, and that hundreds of dwellings are vacant. Fall River will cut wages and. expenses of every sort, but when all has been accomplished in that direction that is possible, the south will stff1 make goods at less cost and then the confession will follow that northern com panies cannot "hold their own" This con- fession is being made now in detail and in individual cases; and the time will soon come, especially if the new southern mills proceed to eliminate the bale, when it will be openly and publicly confessed that the one true place to make cotton goods is amid the cotton fields.

Wartime Gossip.

From Harper's Weekly.
 Most of us believe we have pretty good idea of what happened in the principal fights, both on land and sea. near Santiago, but multitude of rumors about various little supplementary differences have been hard either to verify or to trace to any conclusion. We have been invited, first and last, to take sides in a great many highly interesting personal disputes. We have been assured that General Merritt and Sec retary Alger could not agree: that the sec retary and General Miles did not work well together; that General Miles and General Shafter were mutually jealous, and that General Shafter and Admiral Sampson found cooperation very difficult. What bases of truth there may have been to any or all of these stories and others like them we don't know and are not eager to learn. The war has gone on somehow, and that is what we want. We can wait till it is over before we really settle down to gossip.
