NEK ENGLAND
AND THE SOUTH


 We are glad to see the Lewiston Evening Journal speaking iu tones so cheerful and encouraging to New England textile industries, and we join heartily in It's desire to see the day "when advanced machinery shall be engaged in turning out fine products, moved by the waste water power now running over the rapids and falls of the Androscoggln in Lewiston and Auburn. But some of it's statements we cannot indorse, not because we do not wish the highest prosperity to old New Eng land, but because we should be hold ing out what we very much fear would prove to be false hopes of security to New England textile industries against the competition of the South. After reviewing the facts which led certain New Eng land mills to drop making the coarser goods ia which Southern competition had become too strong and to take up the manufacture of the finer grades, the Journal says:
 ''The result is such mills as the Continental, in Lewiston, which once sent out coarse or plain cottons almost exclusively, are rushed on orders for art goods cottons made for style, created in the brain chief ly and executed after headwork by fine machinery This is the secret of industrial supremacy-to use art more and muscle less. to consult lines of beauty as the line of duty in textiles, It is significant that to- day mills in Lewiston are working on orders secured rather than orders to be secured. Let the South pros per also-it is the part of the coun try which naturally shall make raw material into crude manufactures. The prosperity of one is essential to the well being of ali. The finer stuffs belong to the temperate zones. New England is rock-ribbed in in. dustry. The Attest need borrow no trouble even if in periods of transit tion there be brief hardship"
 We feign would join the Journal in it's haloyon dream of eternal security from destructive tropie or semi-tropic competition for the tex tile industries of classic New Eng land, but somehow, before we fairly doze off, we are haunted by those reports of 30 odd per cent. dividends recently made by some of these Southern mills out of the proceeds of the manufacture of the coarse goods which the Jouanal says they are responsible for, and we cannot help wondering how long the Southern mills will resist the tenn mptation to increase their profits, as the New England mills are now doing, by turning also to the manufacture of fine goods, and it they do, and the competition becomes strong, as it surely will, how long the New Eng land average margin of per cent. profit can buck against the 30 odd per cent. of the Southern mills.
 As to the South being ''the part of the country which naturally shall make raw material into crude manu- features, that is the sort of whist ling in which Europe used toindulge with regard to Amerlca to keep up its courage when we first began to take our first feeble steps in mauu- facturipg.

The spirited speeches of Senator For
aker and Governor Roosevelt at Gin
cinnati are infusing new life into the
Ohio republican campaign.
The greatness of the republican vic
tory in Iowa will depend upon the abili-
ty of the party to get out the vote. Par
ty workers need to be active all along
the line for this purpose.
A president of one of the leading rail-
roads regards the present high price of
steel rails as initiating against railroad
building. He is quoted as saying:
There are 1000 miles of new railroad
that ought to be built Immediately.
Were it not for the virtually prohibitIve
price of rails and other materials it is
my sincere opinion that active con-
struction work on these thousand miles
would be well under way. If present
prices continue it may be two years be-
fore any of this work will be done ex-
cept very little that may be necessary

THE MAN WHO TELLS YOU

there's work that waits for you
To be cornered by the man who
grabs your arm,
And proceeds to tell you freely what
the government should do
To protect your fellow countrymen"
from harm?
Who exclaims: 1T tell you what,
1t has come to where we've got
To do something, or We'll have the
deuce to pay''
Spouting for an hour or so,
Just as if you didn't know
All and more than he has words or
breath to say.
What JOY it is to hear him while ne
tells you all about
Things that everybody knows from A
to u;
What pleasure tbs to listen Whiie ne
fiercely argues out
Some question upon which al men
agree!
What treat is is to stand
There before him, nodding and
Give ear to what you knew long. long
ago;
To be talked to as II you
Were Rip Van Wrinkle who
Had been sleeping soundly twenty
years or 50!
What privilege to waste your precious
time while he proceeds
To tell you what the government
should do;
To hear him naming over all the peo-
pies woes and needs.
AS If they looked for help from MN
and you
Oh, If there is place
Where the damned are. let space
Be reserved for that intolerable bore
Who, while there's work that waits
Puts wise air on and pirates

We saw for the first time lately

ly ruined by the crows. Nearly every
ear was stripped. just as the blackbirds
used to strip them in the pioneer days
of the west. The crow is with us, and
with US to stay. in constantly increas-
ing numbers. He is an uncanny bird;
is neither pleasing to look at, is no good
to eat, and can't sing even a little bit.
The women wont wear his skin on their
hats, he has no enemies who seek his
life, and he gets on to mans tricks with
gun and poison more quickly than the
sparrow or rat. We saw over 5000 crows
feeding in an unhusked cornfield last
winter, and as we look at this black
pirate he bids fair to become one OF the
worst agricultural pests we are to have
in the northwest. He is a most un-
scrupulous robber OF the nests of other
birds. and this indictment alone should
secure his determination. Now, some

In Michigan potato growers in Wex-

began to drop badly some time ago,
Tekonsha man sold his orchard crop for
$3.50: the fruit has now been picked and
measured over 700 barrels. the grower
losing about $3.50. A canning factory at
Adrian has put UP AGO cases of tomatoes
and is now taking in 500 bushels OF
apples daily
In Wisconsin the corn crop is not as
large as first supposed. from the fact
that on low ground joining marshes,
wet spring delayed early growth; con-
seuuently shorter and many inferior
ears.
The annual cranberry product varies
from million bushels to less than
half million, but has fallen below 6oO.-
900 but once in ten years, and has been
four times over 100000. The present
crop is above 100000 and would have
been larger but for frost in New Jersey.
AS it is, the crop has possibly been ex-
ceeded but once in the past ten years, in
1893, when it was about 1a00.0O0 bushels.
New Jersey has produced six tenths OF
