human distress and suffering.
"a charity hospital makes its appeal to
all men alike, lettered and unlettered,

it should enlist the interest and sympathy

THE DROP IN COTTON.

Bralstreet's in its review of trade
for the past week says that for the
first time i'll months the Southern trade
advices are unfavOrable. That cotton
goods are depressed and price cutting
is the rule. This because Of the fall
in the price Of raw cotton.
We have before expressed the opin-
ion that the recent high price Of raw
cotton was not an unmiXed blessing.
We agree With Mr.. d. a. Tompkins.
one of the largest cotton manufactur-
ers in the South, that the greatest
blessing to the cotton growing section
is an abundant supply Of cheap raw
cotton The South will never grow
rich producing cotton if all the raw
stuff is shipped from home to be man
Ufactured elsewhere. That which will
build up the South and make her rich
is the development of the manufactur-
ing industries. If the South will take
the cotton which she produces and
manufacture it into cloth, She will i'll
this way give employment to thou
sands of her people. build up flourish
ing towns here and there, and make 4
market for the farmers products. That
which cripples the cotton industry i'll
The South is to the disadvantage or the
South. even though the disturbing fac
tor be a high price for the raw ma
terial.
In the same connection we note that
there is a movement in the South to
curtail the production of raw cotton.
we do not believe in such movements.
For one thing. they never accomplish
The result aimed ut. and it would be
the worse for the South if they did
Let the South continue to grow as
much cotton as her lands will yield
and manufacture as much as possible
of that product and sell it as cheaply
as possible in all parts of the world.
and the South Will continue to WAX
fat and prosper. The whole country is
always best off when the natural laws
of trade are permitted to have free
course.

LINCOLN, Neb.. Jan. 20.-Dr. E. BenJa-
min Andrews, chancellor Of the University
of Nebraska, preached tonight at the FIRST
Baptist Church on the life OF Queen VIC
toria. "She hath done what she could,
was the text chosen by DR.. Andrews Inc
chancellor spoke first of the Queens great
influence in elevating womanhood. he SAID
she became a great woman power In the
political word as well as in the home

fore her influence was felt monarchy In the
old world was breaking down, owing 10
the profligacy, idiocy and mediocrlty OF
monarchs, but by her worthy life her won
derful intellectual and moral qualities, the
Queen had given monarchy new life. He
pointed out that it was largely through her
influence that war between the United
States and England was prevented in the
early sixties, when the Trent affair was
under discussion. Her craftsmanship and
wonderful diplomacy prevented war. She
had been a great moral power in the world;
The courts of Europe, he said, were noted

her character the world had been strength
ened morally Her reign was the great
strength OF the British empire. The colo
MES became devoted to the mother coun-
try on account of the graciouSness or the
Queen. The chancellor predicted that after
her death the empire would gradually dis
integrate. Australia would frst seek lnde-
pendence and then South Africa and per-
haps Canada would follow. This, ne
thought, would come to pass because there
was no likelihood of such another ruler
as the Queen.
