This IL the way Sfbley happened to
come to congress. in the Fifty-third con-
gress. He lived in the Twenty-seventh
district. represented by {. W. Stone, for
many years Mr.. Sibley had been success
ful in business life. and had never had
much tc do with politics outside Of the
general interest most men pay it. But
one day he remarked. Il don't Ike that
Congressman over in the Twenty-sixth
district very well; believe I vii so
over there and beat him" He did 50.
and thus presented the unique spectacle
OF being elected 10 congress from dis
trict not his own. There is nothing in
the .coastitution to prevent this, as il
merely specifies age. and citizenship in
the state from which he Is elected, as
well as OF the United States for seven
years. IN 1895 Mr.. SibIey was offered the
democratic nomination IN both his own
and the district he had formerly repre-
scute6. and finally took il in his own,
defeating Mr.. Stone. who had been II
congress for many years. Si5ley IS we'll
liked and hard worker.

commercial men and bodies are deeply
interested. In these columns, it has been
stated time and again how rapidly the
expansion sentiment is growing in the
south. That region desires to extend its
markets. 1t recognizes the value of the
Orient in this respect. 1t wants to get its
cotton and cotton Stuffs abroad; it sees
that unless this is done, the south, having
already reached a limit so far as necessit-
les for home consumption is concerned,
must turn to strict agriculture or some
thing else to keep pace with the develop
ment of this day and age. This the south
is loath to do, since cotton and cotton in
dustries have been the chief end of a
sOutherner's life. So to extend the trade,
it is necessary to have the merchant
marine rebuilt and re-equipped. There
fore the favor this proposed legislation is
exciting among southern live and ener-
getic commercial men. This has taken on
such force that representatives of the
cotton industries have been here some
time before the house committee of mer-
chant marine and fisheries, which has the
bill in charge.

John c. Hanley, president of the Nat
ional Cotton Growers association. said be-
fore the committee: The direction
which we desire to extend our trade is in
the Pacific and Asiatic countries, because
this is the trade which we must get to
absorb our vastly increasing crops, as the
value Of our export trade sets the price
on the entire crops raised by the demand
thus created. We must secure or revise
our treaties with Asiatic countries that
will permit us TO extend our export trade
with them. This we must insist upon as
the first step to secure an extension in
our export trade. We lesire that Ameri-
can ships be built that will extend our
port trade namely. agricultural products.
We are in favor of substituting American
ships for the freight that is actually car
ried to foreign markets irrespective Of
speed or capacity. We are willing that
an appropriation of $1,000, 600 be set aside
annually for this purpose, and pay a rate
Of cents per ton per 100 miles for all
freight actually carried on outward trip.
We are opposed to paying a bounty on
imports, as it neutralizes the tariff We
are opposed to paying a subsidy to
American ships for speed and capacity, as
that feature would defeat the very object
for which this bounty or subsidy was
granted, as we would give to the very
vessels that engage in the passenger traf-
&c 10 take citizens out of the country 70
spend their money abroad without taking
along large and bulky freight cargoes. as
no ocean greyhound could afford to carry
freight at the high rate of twenty-ane
knots per hour, as it would cost more
than the subsidy would give. On account
of our peculiar position in the Oriental
trade we are favorably situated as con-
troller Of the condition Of the Asiatic mar
ket. and we are in a position 10 set the
