or more. thus giving him. perhaps, the
greatest net profit he has made for years.
This view is confirmed by one OF our
South Carolina exchanges. which SAYS that
the crop in that section was made at
small cost and that very iittle debt was
incurred because another year of four
cent cotton was anticipated. 1t has been
said time and again that the Southern
nlanter could not pay the expenses OF his
GRO, with nvc-cent cotton. yet It was prac-
scauv demonstrated by a farmer In the
pc,rhborhood Of Charlotte. n. C.. that
cotton can be made for less than three
CENTS ncr ,.ouncl. and it is our opinion
from what we have been able to gather,
that the cotton crop in the South this year
has been produced at an average Of not
more than four cents "A pound. IL that be

Bourke Cochran, of New York. recently
paid a very high tribute. to Hon. VIM. J.
Bryan with whom he sEved in Congress,
concluding his remarks however as fol-
lows:
But I regard the platform OF 1896 as
almost revolutionary. My high regard
for Bryans personal virtues, far from
modifying my opinion of his political
views. intensiGes it. We need have no
fear Of vicious principles advocated by
vicious men. IL is only when they sue
coed in existing the championship of
misguided but enthusiastic virtue that
/ think there is any danger that they
will prevail"
We have never questioned Mr. Bryan's
sincerity. but he is 80 extreme in his views
that he is at times almost fanatical, and
there is no more dangerous man under
the sun than a misguided fanatic.
The widow Of the late Gov. Atkinson, Of

THE INCOMPETENCE OF OTIS.

The persistence with which President
Mckinley keeps General Otis in command
in the Philippine Islands IS most aston
ishinc. whether Otis is competent
commander. or whether he is not. Is not
the important question now; he has lost
the confidence of the country, the coun-
try believes him TO be incompetent. and
that being so IS sufficient reason for his
removal. although he might be an officer
OF exceptional merit. The President
should remove him and put some such
man as General Wheeler or General Law
ton in command.
We have no doubt that Otis is an ex-
cellent soldier and an entirely conscien-
tious man. The country has seen enough
Of him 10 be fully satisfied upon both of
these points. His defects clearly are in
being always TOO slow to move on the
one hand. whilst upon the other he insists
on doing the whole thing himself. The
statement is a little paradoxical, it is
true. and somewhat contradictory, but
Admiral Deweys statement of the case
leaves no doubt that it is a fact His
backing and dlling marching up the hill
one day and back down the hin next day
drawing the Fihpinos out Of entrenched
fortresses and Immediately vacating
them himself. is one Of the most instruct
i've illustrations that We know Of in his
tory.
The Chicago Record has made a list
of the towns which our officers have cap
tured and abandoned, and it is a most
curious as we'll as interesting showing.
1t is as follows:
Pasig has been captured three times,
and abandoned twice
Guadalupe has been captured four
times. and abandoned three times.
Mariouina has been captured six times
and has been abandoned six times.
Canita has been captured twice. and
abandoned twice.
Anaipole has been captured ono, and
abandoned.
Morong has been captured twice, and
abandoned twice.
Santa Cruz has been captured once, and
abandoned
Pasanjan has been captured once, and
abandoned
Longos has been captured once, and
abandoned.
Paete has been captured once, and
abandoned.
Novaliches has been captured twice and
abandoned twice.
San Mateo has been captured once, and
abandoned.
san Jose has been captured once. and
abandoned
Norzagaray has been captured once,
and abandoned.
Augot has been captured once. and
abandoned
San Mnguel de Mayuma has been cap
tured once, and abandoned.
Mexico has been captured twice, and
abandoned once.
Bacolar has been captured twice. and
abandoned once.
Macabebe. the only town friendly to
the Americans, was taken and deserted
and allowed to be burned by the natives.
Quingua was taken twice, and abandon
ed once.
Guagua was taken once, and abandon
ed
If the President knows these facts, and
It is imcomprehensible that he can be ig-
norant of them. it is impossible to under
stand how he can keep Otis in command.
Let him cable General Wheeler 10 take
charge there, while Otis returns home
and the Philippine war will be ended
with peace restored. before the next dry
season comes to an end.
