CURRENT COMMENT.

The New York Commercial Qnd) says:
The South has demonstrated It's ability
to manufacture cotton as We. as TO grow
it. and the heavy dividends announced
from that section by cotton mills during
the last year prove that cost of production
there is surprisingly lower than in New
England A 20 per cent. dividend was a
very common thing among Southern cot
ton mills last year, while per cent.
dividend was regarded as quite satisfac-
tory among the mills of New England"
In the matter of the proposed tariff for
Porto Rico the New orleans Picayune
Dem) says; The granting of so consid-
cradle a reduction in the tariff duties to
Porto Rico would be establishing a most
dangerous precedent as, in the event of
the annexation of Cuba, that island would
claim che same privilege for her sugar and
tobacco, with the result that the domestic
industries would be destroyed"
The Hartford (Conn) Times Dem) says:
Merely for politics the Republicans in
the Senate are going 90 put into the gold
standard bin provision, saying that they
are not opposed TO international bimetal-
lism which they all privately admit to be
possible. II Is weak and shifty piece
of business"

1t appears that there was a story back
of the fervent defense of Secretary Gage
Mr.. Sibley made in the House the other
day, although Mr.. Cage had no suspicion
of the fact until several days afterward,
and was not even aware that he had ever
known Mr. Sibley, says the Washington
correspondence of the New York Tribune
IT seems. however, that the latter once
lived in Chicago and began his business
career there about thirty years ago, sell
ing oil for a Pennsylvania refiner. 1t so
happened one day that he needed $1,000
for immediate use, and made a draft for
that amount on his employers, but the
Cook County Bank, where he kept his &C
count, refused to cash il for him. and
would accept 1t only for collection, which
at that date meant several days delay.
Having an immediate necessity for the
money Mr. Sibey took his draft to the
First National Bank, which then occu-
pied the corner of State and Washington
streets, and told his story to Mr.. Gage,
the cashier. Mr. Gage asked few ques-
tons. and then said:
81 guess we can take chances on you
Although / never saw you before. I'll
back my judgment of your honesty by Civ
ing you the money"
Mr.. Sibey deposited his draft, got the
cash, attended to his business. and Mr.
Gage never saw him again until a few
days ago, when he came into the treasury
department introduced himself and told
this story in explanation of the speech
he made in defense of Mr. Gage.
81 have been waiting thirty years for a
chance to get even with you" he said
and was glad of the opportunity offered
me in the House the other day."
Mr.. Gage does not remember the incl
dent but Mr.. Sibley although he is now
q multimllionaire, says he has thought
of it every time he has heard Cages nare
mentioned in the last thirty years

Ex-Secretary of the Navy Thompson,
who is reported critically i'll at the age
of 81 years, has been a user of liquors and
tobacco nearly all of his life. He did not
use liquor to excess but temporarily. In
the matter of tobacco he was not so tenn
perate, according 10 the usual standard.
One of his physicians is authority for the
statement that for almost seventy years
Col. Thompson smoked from ten to TWEEN
~ cigars a day, oftener the latter than
the former number. while for twenty years
of his life he both chewed and smoked.
His favorite cigar was a black and strong

An American engineer designed and a

dredge for Russia which was described
in our columns yesterday. That was

and it calls to mind news item which

that an English company had secured the
contract for laying a German cable to
America. Modern progress ignores the

Prof A. J. Dexter, City:
Dear Sir-I write this to you so that II
any other young man should come to yoH
suffering with the diseases 1 had when l
came to you. l am now entirely well of
all my troubles, and thanks to you for
curing me, for l have had four different
physicians in this town to treat me, with
no success. but at last l found one who
knew more than all of them put together.
Among them that said he could cure me
was one who advertise a great deal in cur
Savannah papers, but he did me no good.
You are the only one in this city. in my
opinion that can cure men of lost manhood,
gleet, structure, varicocele or blood dis
eases, and as for your treatment il is
nothing. that is, in regard to taking about
one-half dozen different medicines at the
same time. Young man or old man, take
the advice of one who has been under the
treatment of Prof. Dexter, and 1t him
treat you, if you have anything thesrlaIter
with you. He cured me, and why not
you. Follow his directions in all he asks.
HopiI you will take the advice of one
who Anows what he is talking about, l
remain, yours truly.
