or great disaster On the other hand, the
war has knit together every brancn oi
the English speaking race. making an
feel that they have a great, common oes-
plish.
Then, coming to what may be re-
garded as the suggestive climax or MS
speech. Mr.. Balfour went on:
These are thoughts which ought to sup
port us in far greater trials IMAM TINS
war may produce. Remember that ma
ton which cannot bear defeat Is a naIloii
unworthy OF empire. and although uelea,

or the present war, yet, II mauters Shouiu
turn out otherwise, we ShoL~ sum rely
upon the courage and patriotism OF Cur
cOuntrymen.
1t is one of the best traits or the
English nation that it knows when 1t
has enough. and instead of paving up
the earth like our late Spanish adver-
sary, it begins to hustle for the best
way out of the difficulty. That Mr..
Balfour should have even meditated
such contingency so far as to give 1t
expression, is notable enough.
The Atlanta constitution. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1885-19??, 1900-01-15

Of his toll, the cities and towns would
be rebuilt, the channels Of trade would
be restored, and after time, things
would be as they had been.
When the various members OF the
body were boasting of their Importance
they did not, If we remember the fable,
go back to first principles, nor was 1t
necessary for the moral that the fab
ulist intended to draw. But to speak
of the farmer is to go back to the be-
ginning. The whole wealth of the
world has been dug from the ground,
and on that digging everything has
depended.
TO compare the importance Of the
work of individuals is indeed odiOus
and Improbable, but the work Of the
farmer is incompatible. Shut off
from all other workers the products
of the farm, and the result would be
Observation-Disclosures paralysis and then
famine. Shut off from the farmer the
products of all other workers and he
would still maintain himself with
comparative ease. He would have to
give up many comforts and forego
many Injuries, but he would prove to
be self-Sustaining.
OF course The Sun is not serious in
the comments we have quoted. 1t is
simply girding at what it conceives to
be a piece of Boston philosophy. We
are not comparing the individual farm
err to other individual workers; re are
simply reminding an eastern editor
who likes his batter hot, that agricul-
ture is the basis of all industry, the
source of all wealth. lie may believe
it or not, as the case may be; but it
is an axiom older than Socrates that
the truth is not injured by unbelief.

Successive ut Least.

The sore straits to which the British
have been reduced in South Africa has
led to such change in English public
opinion as to be suggestive at least.
Such words as the following from a
recent speech delivered by the first
lord of the treasury, Arthur j. Bal
four recall some of the speeches de-
livered when Lord North began to
despair of subduing the colonies:

American Fabric Making.

The progress Of American fabric
making has been recognized by the
secretary of the imperial maritime GUS
toms OF Great Britain. who states that
American cotton fabrics are gradually
disp.acing the English goods from the
Chinese markets"
It has probably been obserted that
the favorable break in the price Of lint
cotton has come coincidentally with
the recognized growth of cotton manu-
featuring in the field. The spinner in
Georgia can pay cents for his cotton
as well as the spinner in Lancashire
can paw I'd. The margin which the
Lancashire man has TO save out OF
that ID. for the marketing and deliv-
cry 10 him OF that cotton can be paid
directly 10 the farmer by his southern
competitor. There are some southern
spinners. it is true. who not having
awakened TO the wide fed before
them are fearful of new mills, fearing
that they may glut the market. When
these men realize that the fight is be-
tween ourselves and foreign spinners
who have enriched themselves at our
expense. they will realize that the new
American mills are but allies in that
grand Industrial campaign which IS TO
transfer the manufacturing center from
England to America. We want the
whole I00.O00,0O0 spindles ourselves,
instead OF bare 100000.
The fact that our manufacturers
have pushed open the Chinese door,
and are displacing foreign competitors
should give flesh inspiration To all who
contemplate an entry into the milling
business. The heavy increase in the
shipments of cotton goods TO China
during the year ending December 81,
/ 1899. is without parallel in the history
OF the cotton goods export trade. and
/ Is well calculated To alarm the English
spinners. Official figures will not be
available for several weeks. but the
/ following approximation by the New
/ York Commercial will anticipate the
showing to be made:

NO EXECUTIVE CLEMENCY.
President Declines to Act in tn
Cases OF Vale and Rreder

President Declines to Act In the
Cases OF Vale and BREEDER.
Another attempt was made this morning
to secure a respite from the President in
the Nelson Vale murder case. Representa-
tive White, the eolored Congressman from
North Carolina; Rev. Mr.. Roberts, the
eoiored preacher at the Jail; Rev. Mr.. How
ard, pastor OF Zion Baptist Church, and
Mr. Walker, the attorney who represented
Vale. called on Mr.. Mckinley and asked
for an extension OF the date OF execution
from Friday of next week in order to make
a fresh appeal.
The President showed no inclination to
grant the respite. as on the recommenda-
ton Of Attorney General Griggs he has al
ready decided not to interfere. He referred
them to the Department of Justice.
Mr. Mckinley has also declined to grant
a pardon IN the case of Cyrus E BREEDER.
The prisoner was cashier of the First Ma
tional Bank OF Bethlehem, Pa He was con-
victed of the embezzlement of $6.OG0
On confession of guilt he was sentene-
ed TO seven years imprisonment at the
Moyamensiug (Philadelpnia) penitentiary.
That was two years ago. Now he wants a
pardon as he claims he has a defect of
vision which is likely 20 incapacitate him
unless he is released. The report of the
prison physician shows that all that is
wrong -ith him is a defective tear gland
which weeps continually The President
has denied his application.

Mchenna, Released Yesterday. Ar
raiEned Tor DisorderIN Conduct

raigned for Disorderly Conduct
When J. Frank MeKenna was discharged
by jury il Criminal Court, No. l, at the
direction OF Justice Clabaugh yesterday
afternoon, he appeared to be truly grateful
and iubilant. He had been confined at the
District Jail for weeks, pending the action
ot the court on a charge Of false pretene5s
which specifically alleged that McKenna
obtained sum of money from DR.. Sieg-
fried Genthe on the strength of a fraudu-
lent representation.
Attorney d. W. Baker, who represented
the accused, held that while it was evideI t
Mckenna had borrowed money from I,r
Genthe. and had failed to repay the same,
there was nothing to show that a false
pretence had been made to secure the loan
Justice Clabaugh upheld this contention
and ordered the jury TO return a verdict Of
not guilty.
1t was then thought the troubles OF Nc
Kenna were at an end Those who reck-
oned so, however, appear to have been
mistaken as the sO-called BOer sympa-
thizer was again in court this morning
This time he was aTraigned before Judge
Scott and the charge against him was pro-
family and disorderly conduct The COM
plainant appeared, as Policeman Anderson
who alleged that the disorder occurred at
the home of Mrs. McKenna, IO4 Seventh
Street northeast.
According to the testimony OF Policeman
Anderson McKenna was intoxicated and al
tempting 10 gain sn entrance TO the home
OF his wife So much disorder was created
and so much profanity used at the time
that Anderson, when appealed to, was
compelled to arrest McKenna in order to
restore peace and quiet
McKenna claimed that he went to the
Seventh Street house to get certain be-
longings that he claimed his wife had ap-
propriated during his stay in Jail He
claimed that ne had been neglected by
members of his family while he was con-
fined and had decided to have nothing more
to do with them He denied that he made
any threats CT violence against his wife
as alleged. and claimed 10 be peaceably in
clined toward her. Judge Scott decided
that the statements of Policeman Ander-
soI were based on facts and imposed a fine
Of $40 with the alternative Of thirty days
