NOTHING BUT BRAG.
Republicans Rejoicing over tbs Effects of the Magic Ding
 ley Law.

The appearance of the September statement of our foreign commerce by the treasury department statistician is made the occasion for another hurrah for the great advance agent of prosper ity and the party which furnishes forth the show.
 According to the statement the eX- cess of exports over imports of mer- chandise during the nine months end- ing September % was $317 ,292, ,402. This is about $76, 600, GOO less than the excess of merchandise exports during the same time last year. But the administration economists hasten to assure us that this decrease in the favorable balance is not due to any falling off in merchandise exports, which, in fact, have increased $33, 750,O00. but to the increase in i'm ports, which amounts to S110, ,360,000.
 And curiously these economists pro- fess to be delighted at this proof that the Dingley law has not decreased our imports. Why should they be delighted at this is a mystery, seeing that the avowed purpose of the Dingley law was to exclude foreign goods. When boast ing of the miraculous efficacy of the law why should they also boast that it has failed in the accomplishment of it's chief purpose?
 The truth obviously is that the natu- ral effect of the law is to reduce imports, and the fact that they have increased | only proves that the country in its rapid recovery from panic depression takes more foreign goods in spite of duties | intended to be prohibitory.
 The monthly hurrah over the com. l merce reports reminds one of the al
 most equally absurd hurrah over the ] debt statements when Grant was presi. | dent. These statements showed con- i siderable reduction of the debt nearly l every month, and the republican papers and orators all held them aloft and 1 shouted: See what our president is do- ! ing' How our administration is pay ] ingthe debt! The people who were earn l ing the money by hard days work were | given no credit; all the glory went to the administration.
 So now Mckinley and his magic tar | if are given all the credit for short crops in Europe and Asia and for the
 rain and sunshine and labor which have enabled us to supply the wants of the rest of the world at good prices. h. deed, the men of to-day are even more
 absurd in their worship of parties and statutes than were the men of a ouarte, or century ago.-ChicagoC Chronicle.

There I. Money Tn Cotton Mills.

tosso"
 The following is an extract from a letter written to the Chattanooga (Tenn.) Tradesman by W. $. Witham, president of 2 banks in Georgia: There is no reason why the south should not get from $7j to S100 for a bale of cotton worked up, instead of S2O in the raw material. Labor is plen- tiful and cheap in Georgia. The sue cess of Georgia cotton mills has proven that southern men know how to run them. From personal experience know that cotton mills of from 5000 to 10000 spindles pay much better div idends than mills of larger size. As many years ago the west attracted the atention of capitalists and business men, so now the eyes of this class are turned to the south. I can name half a dozen cotton mills in Georgia hay ing from 1000 to 10000 spindles, which show net earnings of from 25 to 60 per cent. during the past 12 months. I am a stockholder and know. l an now organizing three new cotto mills"

SOUTHERN GlEANINGS.
Fourteeu PcopIc Crematcd.

Some time during the night fire de. stroyed the dwellings oi Harry Good low and Samuel Smithson. in Baldwin county. Ala. cremating the occupants of both houses. The Goodlow family consisted of father, mother and six children. There were six persons re- siding in the Smithson home-the hus- band, wife. three children and sister or Mir. Smithson. The fire is believed to have been of accidental origin. The pine trees surrounding the house caught fire. and prevented any assist ance from reaching the persons in the house. The bodies were found in the rooms where the different members of the family had been accustomed to sleep. death having probably come while they were sleeping. The fani- lies formed part of a colony of emi- grants who had settled in the region These two families had come from Iowa. Goodlow having been in the reighborhood for some three years, while Smithson had just reached the locality. The bodies were inferred in the little graveyard of the settlement, one of the colonists acting as minis ter.
