The first shipment of Egyptian cotton
was recently received by South Caro-
lima mill. The managers of the mill in
question state that sea island cotton is not
as wen suited TO their purposes as the
Egyptian cotton, IN that the fiber of the
former has not that Strength and sikh
ness" which distinguish the latter. and
which are necessary TO the production of
the goods which they manufacture. Dur
ing the past year or two there have been
experiments in South Georgia and Florida
in the production Of long-staple cotton
from Egyptian seed. II is 20 be hoped
that the eXperimenters will speedily be
able TO produce a grade of cotton to meet
The wants of the spiuners IN South Caro-
lima. We ought, IT seems. to be able to
grow about anything in the line of cot
ton that any other country can.

Mr.. De Almond of Missouri has intro
duced a bill in the House of Representa-
tives to repeal the bankruptcy law, with
a provision that proceedings now going
on shall he completed. Commenting on
the proposition the New York Evening
Post Qnd) says: Very few bills passed
by Congress are so carefully drawn as
this one was. Senator Hoar who is a
lawyer of the highest standing, devoted
a great amount of time to its prepara-
ton and pleaded earnestly, when the bill
came up for final passage, that the re-
suits of all this labor might not be thrown
away. Now comes a congressman of con-
siderable influence, and proposes to de-
molish the whole structure almost as soon
as it is completed. This attempt is, from
every point of view, premature. More
time is necessary both to disclose the
merits and TO draw forth the frailties of
the act, and even those who regard the
act as mischieVous must admit that its
character will be better understood if 1t
Is continued longer"
The Nashville American Dem) says:
THE people Of the United States have
for years been registering their demand
for a ship canal connecting the Atlantic
and Pacific ocean, for they need it in their
business. The people of the South have
thoroughly awakened TO the fact that the
development Of all the resources of the
South will be immeasureably assisted by
such a ship canal Senator Morgan. Of
Alabama who has given more study to
the canal question from every standpoint
represents the growing sentiment in the
South favorng a ship canal He declares
the Nicaragua route the best suited and
most feasible, and that canal construct
ed along that route will be most adYan-
tageous TO the South.
Commenting on the proposition to ex-
tend free trade to the island of Porto
Rico the New orleans Picayune CDem)
says: THE opponents of the measure

of Porto Rico be granted free admission,

privilege would he demanded I'm the case

result that the important domestic sugar

sHREMDNEss OF TIE BOERs.

The Beers have been pictured in many
of the letters sent out from the Trans
vaal as being two hundred years behind
the civilization of the age, and in fact.
being but little removed from barbarism.
1t is probable that in many of their GUS
toms they are not an up-to-date people,
but what they lack in one respect they
make up in another. 1t is doubtful if there
is any shrewder people in the world Did
not the beginning of the South African
struggle find them well prepared for war?
Have they not an abundance of arms and
ammunition? Have they not, in fact,
plenty of military supplies of all kinds?
And where did they get the money with
which to purchase their supplies? They
got it by excessive taxation from the
millionaire mine owners who own the
rich gold mines of the Transvaal Many
of these mine owners are English
men. From the pockets of English
men therefore came the money with which
the Beers made their preparations for
war. And the gold mines are furnishing
the money for carrying on the war. The
English mine owners and miners were all
run out of the country as soon as the
war began, and the Beers took possession
of the mines and their costly plants and
are taking out gold in sufficient quanti-
ties to keep up the credit of the two re-
publics The Beers are not taxing them
selves severely for war purposes. They
are drawing the means to support the
war from their enemies. They may be
rather economical with soap and may not
have very nice table manners. but they
have the courage that makes good sol
diers, and the shrewdness that makes
good fiuauciers.

Is a list Of all the officers OF the army who
would be affected by it You will see that
there are but PCS of all grades
You will see that Il large proportion OF

this provision would enable them to retire.
Among them are many who rendered COM

ant Colonels. All of them. by the terms 81
the provision, must have served through
the Civil War, the Indian wars. the war with
spain and in the Philippines and In China.
THIS provision gives to them, after life-
time Of faithful and devoted service. merely
retiring rank commensurate with the re-
eponsibility they have borne and the duties
they have reformed. Congress has ac-
corded the same privilege to the ohicers OF
the navy. Surely. the services and sacr-
OF the army leave no Just ground for an
