gree has an unfortunately wide applica-
ton. Gov. Roosevelt himself is on record
as saying that he met with more OPPOSE
ton from self-styled reformers than from
all the spoismen put together. 1t is
thousand pities that good Judgment is so
much scarcer than good intention; that
the line between the reformer and the
crank is often so indistinct that even an
alienist cannot draw it definitely until
practical experience has made it clear.

in the decision that may be reached.
Should the proposed ratio of $4,000 be
adopted, Washington will have but two
congressman. as now. for the next ten
years. The excess of population. though
more than 100000. would not constitute a
major fraction. and so not entitle us to
another representative. Should the MEM
bership be raised to ss7, with a correspond
ing decline in the ratio we would gain an
additional member. So many states have
more to gain or less to lose by this solu-
ton of the question that II probably has
the better chance Of adoption.

off all outgrown and obsolete theories. On
all new issues 1t has taken first choice OF
position, and has generally chosen wisely
and we'll. The Democratic party has been
gradually forced into the place of the neg
alive party, the party Of opposition; ana
this largely through the unwisdom of its
leaders who have permitted themselves to
be misled by partisan feeling. into oppos-
ing policies enunciated by the Republican
party of today which were identical with
those of the Democratic party in bygone
generation.
If the Democratic party were to follow
the advice of Mr.. Cleveland and seek to
return to first principles. it would find
that all of the principles of the historic
Democracy which are worthy of preserva-
ton, are now safeguarded by the Republi-
can party. which has no intention of sur
rendering them. From all present app
pearances, the Democratic party will have
to content itself with a negative attitude
for some time in the future. At the same
time, it is to be hoped. for the sake OF
the whole country that that party may
pass under wiser and more conservative
leadership. that its possible return to pow
err at some future day, may not be looked
forward to with such forebodings as are
held at present.

The total number of spindles at work
in the worlds cotton mills is estimated
at 100000 600. of which Great Britain
had nearly half, continental Europe
nearly one-third and the United States
only a trifle more than one-ffth. The
exact figures for the season of 1S9S-99
We're: Great Britain 45.4O0000 spindles;
continental Europe 80, 500 900; United
States, 100000: India, 4,72S,000 and
Japan, 1855, 1876. For the last ten years
the per centages of increase in the
number of spindles are as follows:
Great Britain, 4 1-3; continental
Europe, 30 3-5: United States, 2S 3-4;
India, Il; Japan, ESQ., These figures
are significant. for while they indicate
possibilities of considerable future
competition from Japan and India they
also point to France and Germany, and
Germany more especially, as our prin-
cipal prospective competitors.
1t is to be remembered with respect
to the percentage of growth in the
number of American spindles during
'iiN p"St uVNout tiiul ct lNdol udll VI
the ten years were years of a general
depression which weighed most heavily
upon our textile industry; that our
manufacturers of cotton goods were
undergoing an unsettling migration
from New England to the South, and
that they had not yet turned their at
tention seriously to the development of
an export business. In the last year
our exports of cotton fabrics to China
| alone have doubled. and the percentage
of growth in our export trade in cotton
fabrics with that great undeVeloped
empire exceeded that of Great Britain,
continental Europe and also Japan.
The completion of transisthmian
waterway giving to our southern states
| the benefit of cheap and. speedy trans
portatiOn of their cotton manufactures
to Oriental markets. combined with the
development of an American ocean
marine and a broad development of
| our political opportunities in the
| Philippines should make the next ten
| years a period of enormous advances
| in the cotton export trade as well as a
| period Of extraordinary development in
| the new South.
