Gov. benton MCMILIN, speaking Of
the recent race troubles in North and
South Carolina, has this to say: "The
people Of the South can be depended
upon to best regulate the race problem
there. When you give me satiEfac-
tory explanation of Gov. Tanners
course at Pana will try to explain
race disturbances in the South" 1t
will be remembered by our readers
that in the late labor troubles at Para,
Illinois, the mine operators imported
several hundred negroes to take the
places Of their striking white en-
ployes, and that Gov. Tanner, the Re.
publican governor Of Illinois, forbid
these negroes from stopping there, and
even instructed the Illinois National
Guard to prevent II by force Of arms II
necessary II the governor Of Illinois
had been Democrat and given such
orders the whole Republican press OF
the country would have denounced and
crucihed him, but it had not single
word OF censure for Tanner.

Indian Territory Cotton.

Washington Nov. 30.-The cotton
planters Of the Indian Territory pro-
duce more pounds OF cotton per acre
than the cotton planters OF any state
or territory in the union, so declares
Secretary of Agriculture Wilson IN Il
report just Issued showing the amount
Of cotton produced per acre In each
state aid territory. This year the cot
tea raisers of the ter ito'y Std ?2j
pounds of cotton per acre, 80 pounds
per acre more than was raised I'm Ar
kansas. which ranks next to the Indian
Territory, as the most fertile cotton
field in America over Oklahoma Ter
ritory the planters produced On an av-
erage 2f9 pounds per acre or &c pounds
per acre less than the Indian Territory.
The publication of this statement has
attracted the attention of southern
ters who have been in Washington,
and It has been said by them that the
planters of Mississippi, Alabama and
other great cotton producing states are
now seriously considering the question
Of purchasing larGe tracts of land in
the territory when the allotments are
completed under the tribal agreements.
and the residue of the land held by ma
tions is sold The cotton crop in the
territory during the last three years
has been little less than wonderful.
The cotton planters OIL the south con-
slider 200 pounds per acre a fair yield
and when cotton is selling at anything
like a reasonable figure, the cash re-
turns are always satisfactory But
when you add to this an increase of y,
pounds per acre the advantages OF
Indian Territory to the cotton planter
are at once apparent. 1t may be inter
esting to the cotton producers OF the
territory to know the average export
price OF cotton during the last month
was 81 cents per pound, the lowest price
paid in recent years.

Mr.. Carnegie says it will cost this
government s1OO, 600, 900 year to main
tain its control over the Philippines,
and he adds "There is not dinner
pail hat is not TO be laid under contri-
button there is scarcely farmer nor
farm hand employed by farmer,
nor wage Garner Of any kind, who
does not use tea and coffee, these nee
essaries Of life, and there is not one
upon whose hard-won earnings the
president OF the United States, through
Senator Hanna, does not propose to
levy tax to support his wild un.
American schemes"
Mr.. Carnegie's letters to the New
York World are valuable contributions
TO the literature now looding the coun-
try pro and con upon the subject of
territorial expansion; and, while many
do not coincide with his views, none
will deny the fact thar his reasons, as
set forth in opposition 10 the adminis-
tration's policy OF expansion, are able
and logical.
Further on, speaking upon this sub
ject, Mr.. Carnegie says: Should we
undertake to hold the Philippines we
Immediately place the whole republic
within the zone of wars and rumors OF
wars; and the rumor of war. it must
be remembered, is in itself destructive
to commerce"
