BRYAN on Imperialism.

Wm. J. Bryan has written letter
to the Fresno, Cal, Democrat giving
his views on Imperialism. He says in
pars; Il think it can be shown from a
pecuniary standpoint that it will cost
us more to conquer the Filipinos and
keep them in subjection than we shall
be able to make out Of the enterprise,
and that money which does return from
the Philippines will not find its
way to the pockets Of those who supply
sons for the army aud whose taxation
furnishes the sinews of war. But there
is higher view to take of it than the
money view. The principle Of con-
quest1s wrong. Our nation has steadl-
" contended against it, and it is i'm
possible to calculate the far-reachlng
effect upon our people Of doctrine
that would substitute force for reason
in the declaration Of the nations spolicy
Those who oppose Imperialism plead
not for the Filipinos, but for the Amer
can people. Our nation is strong
enough to do harm, but it ought to be
too great 10 do wrong. | feel confident
that the sober second thought of the
American people will sustain those who
believe that the Filipinos should be
treated like the Cubans, namely, gwen
their independence and protected from
outside interference.

Death In a Hurricane.


Advices by the Australian steamer
give details Of hurricane in March,
previously reported, which cost 4O4
lives. One colored pearl diver has
cached dry land with two women after
swimming four days. Many porpoises
we're found fifty feet on the beach
thrown up by the waves. Stones were
imbedded in trees to depth OF SIX
inches. Rocks weighing tons were
thrown up. Two colored women swan
ten hours with children loaded on their
backs, but the children were eead when
thew landed. The beaches Of Queens
land are strewn with dead fishes and
birds

Can't Compste With Texas.

Something The State has been trying
to rub into the farmers Of South Caro-
lina's for years now comes from Liver
pool, via Washington. The Post Of
that city quotes visitor, Mr.. A. J. Ell
good, connected with one Of the big
gest cotton firms Of Liverpool" as say
ing: The State of Texas is getting to
be more and more the dominant factor
in the cotton situation. In very few
years from now she will be producing
100000 bales per annum, or nearly
half Of the worlds supply. The Texas
cotton, too, brings higher price in our
markets than that grown in the uplands
Of the Carolina's or in Georgia and Al
ALBANIA; it is Of longer and stronger fiber.
There seem to be hardly any limit to
the supply this big State can furnish,
but it is always to be borne in mind
that Texas is in the seni-arid region,
aud there is no predicting when bad
drouth may come along and cut the
crop down to nothing. Sooner or later
it is probable that the older cotton
States, realizing their inability to COM
pete with the southwest, where the
planters have nothing to expeud for
fertilizing their lands, will be forced to
seek some other crop, for it costs at
least l cent pound more to raise cot
ton, We will say, in South Carolina than
in Texas. The difference seems small
but it is enough to impoverish one and
enrich the other. Paste that on your
grocery bills, farmers of South Carroll
