During last week there were reported in
our dispatches no less Than eight cotton
mill companies organized in Georgia, al
Triton, Statesboro, Milen, Griffin Column
bus, Waynesboro, Tenn-Ee and Valdosta
In addition to this the enlargement of the
capacity of several existing miLs was re-
ported. This is indeed splendid show
ing. 1t indicates that The people of Geor-
gia are awakening 10 the benefits 10 be
derived from manuGa curing their cotton
az home. II further shows that Georgians
have the money with which 10 build fac
tories, since nearly All of the companies
are purely local enterprises. We do not
look for any boom" in cotton mill build
ing in this state, but we confidently ex-
pect that the movement for mis-, now
that il has been started in good earnest.
will go on until the state will within a
snort time he in position to manufacture
every pound of cotton that she produces.
Georgia is going to give the CaroAnas a
rub for premiership i'm cotton manufac-
turing i'm che South.

The report Of the majority Of the For
. eign Relations Committee which accom-
panies Senator Davis amendment 10 the
Hay-Pauncefote treaty shows that there
are obstacles. other than those contained
I in the Clayton-Bulwer treaty. In the way
/ Of the United States exercising exclusive
/ control of a canal constructed across Me
aragua Great Britain. il seems. has trea-
[ ties with Nicaragua which would prevent
/ the United States from having such con-
1 troll even if the Clayton-Dulwer treaty
were out Of the way.
I The Hay-Pauncefote treaty removes
these obstacles, as well as those contain
Cd in the Clayton Bulwer treaty. but il
/ does not give the United States the right
10 fortify the canal or TO close it 10 their
enemies in time Of war. because it does
not give this right there is a very strong
sentiment against il throughout the coun-
try. The amendment which Senator Davis
has proposed. and which has been favor
ably reported by all Of the Foreign Rela-
tions Committee except Senator Morgan
provides that the United States shall have
the right 10 close the canal against bellig
Z
necessary 10 do SO for the protection Of
their own interests. 1t does not give them
the right to fortify the canal, and it is a
question whether such a right would be
Of any great benefit to them.
There is a strong sentiment in this coun-
try in favor Of insisting on the right TO
fortfy the canal at each of its entrances
but it is doubtful if it is based on a clear
understanding OF the entire situation. As
already pointed out there are treaties 9TH
or than the Clayton-Bulwer treaty in the
way of such a right, and some Of the
ablest of our naval officers take the posi-
ton that Notifications at each entrance
Of the canal would be Of little use against
warshps Besides, it is declared that it
would be next TO impossible for garri-
sons to occupy such fortifcations for any
considerable length Of time without be-
| coming victims of diseases incident TO the
climate and country
The defense of the canal, say our naval
officers. must depend on our warships. If
their statements respecting the Difficult
ties Of maintaining a garrison at each Of
the entrances of the canal and the super
1ority Of Warships as means OF defense
are correct, it would seem to be unneces-
sary to insist further on the right to for
tify the canal
When Congress met it was thought that
the Nicaragua canal bin would be passed
at this sesslon-at least there were those
who held that it would. Now there is not
much prospect of its passage before next
session, and its passage then IS far from
certain. Obstacles have appeared that
were unsuspected by the public and even
by members of Congress. 1t is probable
that the discussion of the Hay-Paunce-
fote treaty in its amended form will oc-
cupy good deal of time, and the un-
Outstanding seems to be that there will
be an early adjournment of Congress
Hence the outlook for the early passage
of a Nicaragua canal bill is not bright

CURRENT COMMENT.

The Memphis Commercial-Appea Dem)
says: There are thousands upon thou
sands of pensions being paid out to those
who are undeserving, to those who were
camp followers and suffers clerks. These
robberies could be discovered and stopped
if law was passed making it obligatory
upon the government to publish a list of
the pensioners in every community Eff
forts to secure such a law have been
made, but the pension sharks have al
ways been able to defeat them on the
ground that such a publication would
'humiliate the old soldier There can be
no humiliation in it, The deserving pen
sioner is an honor to his country The
dishonest and undeserving pensloner
should be eliminated. The pension roll
should be a roll of honor"
The Cincinnati Enquirer Dem) says:
THE opprobrium of cabinet service has
been shifted around a great deal 1t
went in some degree from Attorney Cen
oral Grggs to Secretary of War Alger.
Gen Alger was got rid OF through the
diplomacy of the late Vice President Ho-
hart and the next man for the public dis
pleasure to fail on was Secretary Of the
Treasury Gage. Now his case has been
rende ed less conspicuous by the troubles
of Secretary of State Hay. Mr.. Gage is
nice enough man TO De entitled to some
rest. His troubles will come again soon
enough"
The Springfield (Mass) Republican
Qnd) says: mo one knows better than
Gen. Harrison himself the practical diff
iiculty of heading off Mr.. Mckinley from
a denomination Even Mr.. Blaine failed
in such an effort against Gen, Harrison
in 1892 and Mr.. Blaine was a very popu-
lar man in the Republican party The
President now, like the President then
has a superb machine 10 support him. SO
far as delegates are concerned, it is quite
irresistible"
The New York Journal of Commerce
Qnd) says: when Mr.. Whitney was
Secretary Of the Navy a revolution broke
out in the Isthmus of Panama, and the
secretary sent a battalion of marines to
preserve ORDER and protect the railway.
But that is a very different thing from
the erection of forts at Panama and Col
on, and the maintenance of American gar
risons there"

THE NEGRO MOVEMENT TO MIsSIs-
GIpnT

The movement of North Georgia negroes
to Mississippi is assuming large proper
tons. 1t is something Ike a craze. Ac-
cording to a dispatch from Athens, pub
lished dn the Morning News yesterday,
there were at least 800 negroes at the de-
pot of the eaboard Air lime Railroad on
Sunday, and when the south bound train
of that road arrived they made desper-
ate efforts to gel on board. Some of them
had money and some We're without the
necessary fare. IL seems that the most
of Them expected that their fare would
be paid by the agents VINO had induced
them 10 migrate to Mississippi
Sometime ago an agent who was entc-
ing negroes to leave their homes in North
Georgia for the low1auds Of Mississippi
was threatened with violence If ne did
not leave that part Of the state, and it is
probable that the agents who are operat
ing there now win find, if they continue
soliciting the negroes 20 emil CRATE, that
the feeling of the farmers towards them
is far from friendly.
The farmers in all parts of the state are
preparing 10 plant a greater cotton acre
dE+ llltH Nilty Sli1 last year OF LOT any
previous year for a long tine. They need
all the Tabor that is available. They need
it now and they will have greater need
for II when cotton picking time comes.
1t is probable that the planters of Mis-
sissippi are also preparing 10 plant cotton
extensively owing to its high price. They
have not labor enough, and they are get
ting il wherever they can, and they are
Offering inducements.
The negroes who go to Mississippi, how
ever, Will have cause 10 regret having
done 50 in adj probability 1T is said that
several that went there some time ago
from the vicinity of Athens have returned,
and they report that they are glad 10 get
back to their old homes They say that
the agreement with them in respect 10
wages was kepT, but that they had to
work very much harder than they ever
worked before They were compelled 20
be in the fields at sunrise and were kept
there until SHUTDOWN with the exception
of half an hour or 50 for dinner. An over
seer was with them an the time and no
lettering was permitted.
j is probable that if the negroes of this
state were 10 emigrate to other portions
Of the South their places would be taken
by white people from the West but il
would be a long time before white immi-
grants would fully supply the places of
The negroes. In The meantime the farm
ers would be without labor with which
to make crops. There Is no doubt that
this movement of negroes southwark is a
very serious one for the section of the
state that IS suffering from #. The farm
ers are naturally very much exasperated
at having their taborers enuced away by
agents from other states, and II is not
surprising that they are showing consider
able feeling in regard 10 the matter.
