De Rivera. of the Philippines. Issues :
Severe Edict.

San Francisco, Cal. Jan. 26.-Advices
from the Orient bring to hand the full
text of the edict recently issued 10y Fer
nando Primo De Rivera, Governor Gen
eral of the Philippines. a brief reference
TO which has been made through official
sources at Madrid.
Ihe edict is so severe in its treatment
of all enemies of the imperial govern
ment that the manifesto OF WeyleI
seems mild in comparison. Taken as /
whole it appears as an official confession
5oflthe untruth of the frequent announce
ments from the government at Madrid
that the Philippine insurrectiOn has been
suppressed and the people pacitied.
The edict begins with the revocation
of all passes heretofore issued and the
establishment of military trOcha. Prop
erty belonging to persons connected with
the rebellion, or to tenants, partners or
any person interested in property belong
ing to the rebels is declared forfeited To
the government and will be seized to sat
isfy the needs of the Spanish army.
The families of individuals who are
Incorporated in the rebel party must g0
10 join them or fix their residence under
the watchfulneSS of the authorities.
For the purpose of this order. the TAM
lilies of rebels will consist of their wives.

: STATE BANKS IGNORED.

IA ~ 1888 sg---
Under the heading Should State
Bas,lag Fasife Notes. the New York
Journal of Commerce and Commercial
Bulletin; says:
IF Is an almost startling fact that
of aH1f1e HlHnefons plans for recon-
structing cur paper money system,
not one has proposed 10 confer upon
the State banks the right 10 issue
notes. Every scheme treats this
large class Of Incorporated institu-
tions MS though they were OF no ac-
count as "A possible source of cnr-
rency issues, and had no rights
which Federal legislation ought to
respect. And yet these banks have
rank of high Importance among
our financial institutions. After hav-
ing been almost obliterated through
the attractive privileges conferred
npon the National banks, they have
rebuilt their capital 10 the amount of
S2i0.000.000 and have attracted de-
p0sits To nearly half the amount OF
those Of the National banks, whilst
the official records show that, as
rule, their operations are conducted
with as much conservatism as those
Of any other banking institutions"
The answer is easy. These so-calleC
monetary conferences are gotten III
and engineered by national bank officers
who, under the specious plea of wanting
to get the government out of the bank
ing business are seeking to put the Ma
tional banks into the governing business
The monetary conference" should b.
called meetings engineered by Nationa
bankers. to devise ways and means TO
securing the monopoly of issuing pape
money, and of regulating the amount 0
money in circulation"
The friends of expansion, of Stat
hanks. or those hostile to National BAN
control of circulation, who take part il
those conferences. are as silly as the d.
that walked into the parlor of tn

THURSDAY,

Mrs. Eva Mcdonald NaleSh, who in
fo rhe strike in the New England cotton
mills. has been talking TO the author
of the Dingley tariff law, which ac
was advertised before The election t,
bring prosperity TO the whole country
The interview is published elsewhere il
to-day's paper. The New England op
eratiyes. who were coerced into votin:
for Mckinley upon the pledge that 1
would prevent a reduction of then
wages. do not find much hope in Mr.
Dingley's interview.
Twenty years ago Edward Atkinsol.
said that the South would never manu-
faeture its own cotton. For twenty
years New England manufacturers held
that delusion to their, blossoms. Nov
Mr.. 4Dingley seeks TO answer them b.
saying sit is inevitable that the Soutl
will. in conrse of time. produce almos
entirely the coarse cottons and that thu
finei< grades will lleeome the New Eng
land speciality"
That is a delusion that will pass away
just as slfclNslrd y alkinsen'ss i delusion
faded. The history of cotton manufac-
ture ,ingthes ,Sepah will parallel that b
Englaad a4ssl New England, In both.
the coarse cottons were made first and
the finer grades afterwards. The South
years ago confined itself chiefly to sell
ing swar,s in Northern Mills, now j;
makes coarse goods and some Of tbs
mills are making the finer grades The
day is not far distant when New Ems

~ in the finer grades as in coarse goods

WHY THE SOUTH is POOR.
Baskerville Citizen.)

The New York World says that the
South is not poor because for its 30
crops of cotton raised since the war, II
has received seven and a half billions
of dollars. That does not prove the
case any more than to say Of a bank
teller that he must I've rich because he
has received over a million of dollars
I'M year. The million belonged to other
men. And it was too much SO with the
seven cotton billions. If the small plan
ter makes on his cotton crop thousand
dollars. and must at once pay over eight
hundred Of it for store supplies, leaving
the other two hundred to improve and
keep up his land, buy new tools, ana
to live on tiIl he puts in crop, he is not
becoming rich very fast. The World
says it is affrOnt to Southern sagacity
and energy to say that the South is
poor The South is certainly lacking i'm
sagacity when it will go on year after
year making a crop that, it is repeatedly
asserted, contains no profit, when half
as large a crop would yield profit,
leaving more land on which to raise
general SUPPLIES. But where is the man
in the South who can organize the cotton
raising States by townships against
too large cotton crop? He has yet to
appear above the horizon.

THE BARGE WENT DOWN.

Men Were Lost.


New York. Jan. 12.-1'he Luckenhach

sailed from NepOrt News last week, hav.
ing in tow the bargcs Yonkers and
Haycon, bound for Providence. when
off Barnegat last Sunday morning dis
covered that the YonkerS had sunk with
the four men on board.
The captain reported that at six m

astcrn found the tow line slack and
nothing attached to it.
The Luckenbach at once'turned abnuf

about what had become Of the YohkefSs

the end OF o hundred fathOms tof tow

be hardly discernibe.
The men ON the Halycon, however.
thought they saw something dark rise
in the air short distance in front
VI them and then disappear but a short
time before the tug came up. 1t is sup
posed that the YOnkers must have
roundered in the heavy sea raised by
the strong gale and gone down only a
few minutes before the discovery Of
the parting OF the tow line, carrying
with her the four men composing her
crew.
The Luckenbach after the accident,
put into this port and reported the
'oss TO her owners and then proceed
ID to Providence.
The Yonlicrs was built in 1887, and
registered $3.50 tons gross.
The Halycon shows plainly that she
rad a hard time of it in the gale Many
" her seams are started and she pre-
cents Il very battered appearance.
The Luckenbach also had tough
experience, but weathered the gale
splendidly.
Il do not even know what time the
IonkerS sank said the captain of the
sug-boat.

the time and it was so dark that we
