ELECTING U. =.

1t is pleasant TO note that there is a
sure and steady growth in man states
of public sentiment favorable TO the
election of United States senators by
the people. 1t will come. The Quay
machine and the Clark purchase of the
legislature and other r~ascalities have
awakened in the people a great oppo-
sition to the old corrupt way. 1t is
so much easier to buy a majority OF
a northern legislature than to buy the
popular vote Of a state. Both have
been done, and Mckinley was elected
by hat method or corruption-de-
bauching electors with money. If it
should become the rule to receive sem
ators appointed by governors when leg
islatures had failed to elect them
governors would try to debauch the
Legislature and thus cause them to fail
to elect. The evil grows The gov
errors are often not better or purer
than the average legislators. The
Philadelphia Record hat a~ntagonizes
vigorously that superb corruptionist.

REJOICING.

Have you observed how greatly
moved Great Britain is over the recent
advantages gained by their great force
small favors or as the Washington
Post puts it-"rejoicing on small provo
cation" 1t says:
There is something pathetic in the
tremendous jubilation of the British
public over the success of Lord Roberts
in South Africa. To the outside world,
the triumph seemed very questionable.
That 5000 English troops should dis
lodge less than 1000 Beers did not
strike the impartial spectator as a
miracle of strategy and prowess. 1t
was pretty generally understood by in
telligent observers that the Beers
never expected from the first to hold
British territory in Cape Colony or
Natal"
1t was foreseen long ago that it was
great empire of 200, 600, 900 would be able
to drive to the wall 10000 Beers. The
Messenger said as much. When the
Dutch are overwhelmed and their
country passes under the rule Of the
empire there will be a small semblance
of glory in the deed. Sue will be the
voice of the nations of the world. A
mighty giant can whip the pigmy.
The Post says:
Lord Roberts moved on Kimberley
with 1000 or sc, 1000 men, they wisely
retired their 5000 or 5000, and fell back
upon what was originally their real
line of defense. The capture of Cronje
and his $500 troops, achieved at a loss
of more than 1000 British, meant sim
ply a sacrifice for the safety of the re-
mainder of the Boer army, the escape
of their artillery n munitions of a
1t was a distinct triumph of Boer STRAIT
egg and courage. Considering the
strength of Roberts, his u and
his advantages, the campaign was q
British disappointment"

CROPS AND MANUFACTURERS.

Now that it is definitely known that
the last cotton crop was quite short Of
the crop of the year preceding, and
the price having risen latterly to 8
cents and then to 10 cents, where it
did not tarry long, the farmers are pre-
pairing for a great crop. If Providence
smiles upon their efforts the greatest
crop ever grown will appear in 1900.
From all about ome the report of a
fourth to one-third increase will mark
probably every neighborhood in all
southland. The prospect for at least s
cents is good even with an unusually
large crop. The consumption of the
raw cotton steadily increases in his
country. The south is consuming
much more each year. The Chattanoo-
ga TradeSman has figures to show
what is the condition now in this part
of the empire. 1t is apparent that
more cotton is grown at present h
is consumed by home mills. The
figures of the Tradesman, as we find
them reproduced editorially in the
Charleston News and Courier, show
that in 1897, North Carolina grew 4OO,-
