1t is a peculiar state Of public
opinion which would compel a
mau to repudiate his convictions
on matters of public policy, or &C
cept the alternative of political
ostracism. And those who object
most strongly when the victims of
such a course, are often the read
lest in pursuing it toward others.
The South was terribly oppressed
and cruelty humiliated.through the
medium of test-oaths, after the
war. yet she has out-Heroded
Herod in demanding political shib-
boleths Of her own people. AS in
'96 no man could be Democrat
who was not for 16 to 1, SO now it
has come to pass that you are re-
garded as practically q traitor,
if you presume to deny the ability
of political convention or cam
didate to successfully pragmatize
the generalities of the Declaration
of Independence, Truly a strange
attitude for such a people as ours
to assume.

Secretary Hester's annual cot.
ton report Is filed with much in.
valuable data, --to:the cotton planter
no less than to the buyer and mer.
chant. Placing The last crop at g..
436, 416 bales. being 1888. 424 un.
der that of 1880, he shows its
average value per bale to have
been $38. SO, as against $25.06 for
the previous one, giving the to-
tai value of the respective crops
as 1868, 7s5, 900 for '99-19OO, and
1882, IT'S, 900 for $3.50. Col.
Hester emphasizes the fact that the
last crop, shorter by more than one
and three-quarter million bales
than that of the year before,
brought over $81, 900, 900 more
than that crop.
When we reflect that these fig
ures do not represent the full diff
ference between two crops, to the
grower, but that to them must be
added the saving represented by
the cost of gathering and market
ing 100000 bales, which cost
was chargeable against the money
value of the crop of '98-'99, we
can appreciate how much this diff
ference really means.
AS a commentary on the advan-
tages accruing from a curtailment
of the crop, it is worth more than
all the resolutions ever adopted
by conventions and associations
assembled for the purpose of re-
ducing the acreage. But it will
meet the same response on the
part of the grower,-for he will
never save himself. He looks to
the Lord and free silver to do
that.
But, 'Just for instance" let us
suppose that this reduced yield
had not been entirely the work of
the weather, let us say that the
cotton grower had helped himself
! little, and had curtailed his cot

Such changes as have occurred
in the cotton crop in the Delta,
during the past week, have un-
questionably tended toward a re-
duction of the yield. To an in
creased amount of shedding, has
been added the appearance of
worms in some localities. From
all Indications the top crop will be
universally short, and In many

Rotation in Office" may possess
many excellent features as a rule
for determining the official life OF
fiscal and some other officers. Al
applied to Congressman and Sena-
tors, it is suicidal policy for the
district or state adopting it.
The essential prerequisites to the
occupancy of a seat in the Nation
al Legislature, even for one term,
should be absolute problty, I'm.
questionable intellectual ability,
and freedom from demagoglsm.
No man not possessing these quail
i6cations should be given even a
trial, any man having them
should be reelected so long as he
retains his vigor unimpaired, and
is willing to serve his people.
A constituency is guaged by the
measure of its representatives, -
the intellectual standard of a state
Is determined by the character of
men to whom it delegates the ex-
ercise of its share of the duty of
working out and shaping our Ma
tional life and character. Given
these qualities, and the measure
of influence exercised by a state in
National affairs will be largely de-
termined by the length of service
of its National representatives.
The dominant part played by
the Southern states in National af-
fairs during the first sixty years
of our existence is accounted for
by various hypothesis, but the
true reason may be found IN the
fact that these states sought out
their very ablest men for duty at
the capital, and kept them there.
We even see this influence exhlb-
tied by single districts, as we'll as
by states and sections. The ia
nous Ashtabula district, of Ohio,
for instance, during period of
ffty-four years had only three
representatives in Congress, Eli
sha Whittlesey, Joshua R. Gid
dlngs, and James A. Garfield, II
yet no one congressional district
in America ever made itself so po-
tently felt for SO long a time.
The South has too largely de-
parted from her ancient practice
in this regard for her own good.
Ihe cry OF the demagOglc polltl-
clan and paper has been ''rotation
in Office, "give every man chance"
and such kindred nonsense; and
we have seen, too frequently,
proven ability turned down to
make way for the mediocritles of
pothouse politics, masquerading |
under the guise of statesmen. Too
much attention has come to be
paid, in this section, to the ability
10 remember names and faces, to
extend the glad hand, and act the
good fellow, and the sterling quail
ties are largely at discount.
We need men able and brave
to mould public opinion,
,ut are surfelted with such as
-un for Office with a hand upon
ne public pulse and an ear held
o the ground.

Some weeks ago The lines ex-
pressed its belief to be that the
Chinese situation would not ma
teriallY affect the price of cotton
this season. This opinion was
based upon the idea of a short
crop, and we see no reason to
change it, despite the shutdown,
either entire or partial, of some
Southern mills. 1t may be urged
that every shutdown decreases
the demand and SO affects the
price. This may be true, to a
certain extent, but on a crop the
size of the present, this effect will
be sesroNl' appreciable. So far

Regardless of the increased short
age that might have resulted,
through weather conditions added
to decreased acreage, the value OF
the crop would still have been as
great, possibly greater; while to
1t would have been added the val

placed at 1887, 112 bales, 1877, us
over last year. Northern mills
consumed 100000 bales. On
Sept. LIST, the number of Southern
mills was 663, against 1876 in 1890.
One mill is mentioned as having

cotton during the year, which it
manufactured direct from its own
gins, without ballng pound of it.
Last years worlds consumption

As showing the possibilities of
the South, for the profitable man

the most significant and suggestive
item in the entire report to be the
mention of a mill having converted
5000, 900 pounds of seed cotton in

competition.

The demand for dangerous adj
venture by field and flood, blood,

temporarily assuaged. Quite a
number of new favorites have ap-
peared, among which, of the old
ones, only "To Have and to Hold''
