POWER OF THE PRESIDENT.

Gen. Macarthur, the commander of
the American army in the Philippines,
has had history of the United States
prepared for use in the archipelago. 1t
gives a concise account of this country s
growth, institutions and government,
but touches lightly on the civil war and
in way to give no offense to any of the
participants in our ''late unpleasant
ness" In explaining the powers of the
President, Gen. Macarthur states that
"while in peaceful times the President
is merely Chief Magistrate of the ma
ton, in time of war no limit can be as
signed to his powers His functions
then are almost those of a dictator.
We are very much inclined to believe
that in saying this Gen. Macarthur is
treading on dangerous ground, because
there is very large body of the Ameri-
can people who will subscribe to the
statement that in time of war the Pres
ident is almost dictator, yet 1t must
be confessed that his course in the Phil
ippines affords some ground for the as
sert1on. It is unquestionably true,
however, in the administration OF
home affairs there has been marked
increase of presidential influence and
power. This country started out with
three seperate and distinct branches
of the national government, namely,
legislative, executive and judicial

cause it was then regarded as para,
mount, but in later years the execu-
tive has become the most important
factor and now the country revolve:
around the White House and not the
capitol Under the far-reaching wal
power the President is an autocrat il
our foreign possessions and policies
and he will have the same power a
home when the time comes to claim it
unless the people bestir themselves
Some of the ablest of our Statesmen
frankly admit that the old lines of tht
division of power no longer exist. The
legislative and judicial branches of the
government are being swallowed up by
the executive, and to-day the executive
influence controls Congress.

PARKHURsT's VIEWS.

DR.. Parkhurst, who has been in the
South week and two days, said in his
sermon in the Madison Square Presby.
terrain Church Sunday morning "the
South is wretchedly ignorant and lamen.
tably poor that "the poverty is part.
~ the outcomeof the shlftlessness which
has been for so many generations
the hereditary possessions of the
Southern people as to have become in
them permanent genius
1t is hardly necessary to handy words
with this grotesque genius. His game
of leap frog in New York resort of i'll
repute for the purpose, as stated by
himself, of seeing how one was con-
Quoted, is fresh in the public mind,
aud it is an index of his character al
though intellectually he is an able man.
While there are no great fortunes in
the South, compared to a modern
Midas, Rockefeller, Morgan or a
Carnegie, the masses of the white peo-
pie are as we'll off as those IN other
parts of the country, much better off
than the factory operatives of the large
Eastern centers
The South has not the amount of
money to spend on schools it would
like. But each year is giving more for
education. It must be remembered it
has not long recovered from the shock
of war. There is less foreign admix-
ture among the Southern people than
those of any other portion of the
Union. Fewer Parkhursts and sensa-
tional cranks here. The South was
never more prosperous than today, never
more hopeful, and never in its history
was there so much reason for the faith
its own people and those of the country
in general have in its future.

EAST INDIA COTTON IN JAPAN.

The movement in Japan in favor
of Bombay cotton is significant, says
the Savannah Press. The East In
dian staple can be mixed with
America cotton, it Is said, and made
use of in the mills Last year the
East Indies produced 1 ,562, 600 bales of
cotton against 100000 in America.
Japan has always drawn the greater
part of its supply of cotton from In
dia, but last year, on account of the
serious deficiency of the Indian crop,
the United States contributed IN much
greater proportion than ever before.
Cotton is raised in Japan, but the crop
is small and gradually decreasing. In
1887 Japan's crop reached $50, 600 bales,
but in 1897 the yield was only 121, 900.
Last year the mills of Japan averaged
about 1000 bales weekly. Only about
433, 900 bales of American cotton were
delivered last year to Japan, Canada,
and Mexico In the season of 10000
about II, 900, 600 bales of American cot
ton were consumed by the world, but
if the usual supply of East Indian cot
ton is secured the consumption of
American would be 10, 500, 900 bales.
