what has succeeded in every other
dry country where they have pushed
it right, will undoubtedly go through
all right here. Encourage it.

Important Revival of Trade.

New Orleans Picayune.
 For several months past there has been more or less depression in the dry goods trade and in the general distri- button of manufactured cotton goods. Added to this was the loss of the de- mand from China for our coarser cot ton cloths. As a result of the depres- sion. many mills were forced to curtail their output and make large conces- sions to dispose of their accum alations of manufactured product. The natural result was to cut down the cons lmp- tion of raw cottcn.
 Within the past couple of weeks there has been a very noticeable revi- val in dry goods and in the demand for cotton goods from the mills. Sur plus stocks have been absorbed. and many mills have resumed operations at full time. Added to this has been renewal of the demand from China with the prospect that this demand will be very large, to make up for the time lost during the recent troubles in that country. As a result, matters are decidedly more promising in the out look for raw cotton.

A MoMENToUs SUBJECT.

The St., Louis Post-Dispatch Is mak- ing determined fight against wear ing coats by men in hot weather, and no doubt male humanity generally will pray for the success for the movement, at least the men who work. The men who can quietly sit in the coolest place they can find, and have all the natural and artificial means of keeping cool that can be invented, may wear coats if they choose, but the worker and the hustler want tho privilege of keeping comfortable when possible.
 After all. wearing clothes is a con- ventional duty. demanded by society. Common decency and due regard for the proprieties of life demand that we wear clothing, but we do not like to admit that the conventionalities re- quire that we wear clothing of a cer- tain style, or in unreasonable quanti- ties. The man who would go about the streets or work at his business on one of these hot days with a heavy over coat or ulster on would be looked on as fit subject for a place in an asy- lum. If he wears a heavy coat and vest in the hottest weather he differs only in degree from the overcoat man. Each is wearing clothing unsuited to the weather and which is not demand ed by propriety or decency.
 The ladies allow themselves and are allowed much more latitude than the men in the matter of clothing. They insist on their right to wear whatever they choose, looking quite as much to their own comfort as they do to the demands of fashion, and serenely in- different to the criticisms of the other sex. Why. then, should not men be al- lowed greater freedom from the tram mels of fashion and look out for their own comfort when they really do not transcend the bounds of decency? We understand thoroughly well that there are times and places when a man owes 1t to the company in which he finds himself. and to the occasion, to dress in a certain conventional and prescrib- ed manner. and that Is all we'll enough. And we further admit that when gen. tlemen are calling on ladies, or even when they meet In miseellanaous-p se%I

A PRACTICAL TEST.
Let Mayors Tom Johnson and Ash
 bridge Be Fitted for Presidency.

New York Journal
 Mayor Tom L. Johnson of Cleveland ownership in it's highest development. Moreover he is Democrat and skilful politician.
 Mayor Ashbridge of Philadelphia ap- pears to represent the logical conclusion to which private ownership of public monopolies tends. Moreover he Is a Re- publican and also a practical politician.
 Now here is situation beautifully to let the people pass on this much dis cussed public ownership question. Let these two eminent party leaders be "nursed," as the politicians call it, until 1904 and then nominated for the Presi- dency by their respective parties. There will be no need of wrangling over plat forms-each man has furnished plat form for himself. unless. indeed, we re- gard Mayor Ashbridge's platform as more of a scaffold. The issue would be clear cut. Everybody believing In public own ership could vote for Johnson; everybody disapproving 1t would vote for Ashbrdge and to approve his methods in the Phil adelphia franchise cases.
 We haven't much apprehension as to how the test would come out. but neither have we much hope that 1t will be made. The politicians. with cautious skill, would intervene to prevent the people from knowing exactly what they were voting for. The Republican professional would say: .,,- public ownership sentiment. It's serious. Might put d plank in the platform urg- ing rigid supervision of street railroads. reduction of fares when the net profits exceeded % per cent. on whatever capi- tai stock the corporation may like to create. and ultimate public ownership. Ultimate is always a safe word"
 And the professional Democrats would say:
 I've musnt gd too far on this public ownership question. People might call us socialists. Better put in some ghttering generalities about the perils of monopoly

The Dublin Degree.

Mobile Register.
 The Register learns. through the columns of The Mobile Herald of yes terday afternoon that the degree of IL. D. honoris causa was conferred by the University of Dublin yesterday upon Hannis Taylor of Alabama, for- mer United States Minister at the Court of Madrid. The honor Is in rec ognition of MT. Taylor's works on the subjects of international law. with es- pecial reference to his authorship of the "Origin and Growth of the Eng fish Constitution" and of "Interna- tional Public Law"
 This is the honor of whose coming announcement mention was made re- gently by this paper. At the time it was thought the conferring cf 1t would be postponed until such time as MT. Taylor could be present in Dublin to receive it: but the university has seen fit not to wait but to do honor at once to Mobiles distinguished citizen. The Register congratulates MT. Taylor upon this signal proof of the high re- ~a~d in which his literary labors are held abroad.

lected company. the coat for the man is proper.
 All that is easy, but why should "a male clerk in 8 dry goods store swelter and suffer in a coat while the young lady at the same counter is sereneiy comfortable in a shirt-waist? Why should professional. laboring or busi- ness man be expected to put on his coat when he goes out on the sidewalk or across the streets for few minutes on business? And if the young man in his shirt sleeves invites a. young lady in a shirt-waist to .vtsit the re- freshment counter or tsble with him shall she accept or cut him dead for his non-observance of the proprieties? Who shall settle these momentous questions and let suffering male hu- manity know just where he stands?

ALAS, FOR GUAM!

We much fear us that our principal ity of Guam Is falling into evil ways. We anticipated many and great things for Guam. Lying alone in the great salted seas, free from immediate con- tact with the effete and wicked na- tions of the old world. as well as from the sharp practices of the new, we looked on' Guam as the one spot where all the virtues would bloom and ripen. and where peace and quiet and good ness would go hand in hand. onward and upward to the very summit of terrestrial perfection We looked on the people as Edenic in their natures. cherubic in their tempers and idyllic in their habits. and that climate. soil. productions and people all combined to set an example at which the world would gaze in envying wonder.
 But Guam has gone back on us. griev- ously disappointing us, and danger ously jared our faith in things. The trail of the serpent is also over Guam, and we mourn over a shattered idol. The Governor, who rejoices in the un- musical name of Schroeder. announces that terrorism, theft, gambling and drunkenness have brought the United States forces in the island into disre- pute." tE
 Is, it not painful, and various other things? True, 1t is not the natives that are thus degenerate, nor is 1t the cli- mate or the soil. but they must suffer along with the real criminals. It will go out to the world that this hitherto immaculate gem of the Pacific is of the earthly earthly, and no better than the rest of creation.
 Why doesn't the Governor with the un-Guamatic name, stop this drunken ness and other Ill behavior? If Leary were still Governor he would round up the whole outfit and make them take the pledge; then, if they persisted in their badness. he'd clap a ball and chain to every soldier and tell him to be good. But Leary isn't in command, and Schroeder has allowed beautiful Guam to become a by-word among na- tions.

Al REVERSED pRoPos1rroN.

The old conundrutns quaintly ex- pressed by a poet
 Tell me now, ye learned men,
 Whether was first. the egg or the hen? has its counterpart in another query which is exciting some discussion. viz: Are deserts dry because they get no rain, or do they get no rain because they are dry?
 Without stopping to think, most peo- ple would adopt the first proposition, but they might not be certainly cor rect. Much observation and many carefully conducted experiments seem to settle pretty ,conclusively the con- tention that the heat arising from des- erts and other places entirely bare of vegetation prevents the condensation of the moisture in the clouds or the atmosphere above such spots, and hence prevent precipitation in the form of rain. In other words, the heat and ! dryness prevailing above the bare places prevents those places receiving rain.
 It is pointed out as an actual and de- monstrated fact that there are uumer- ous instances where cutting off all the timber and leaving the land bare has resulted in drouths of a character for merly unknown, and 1t is further shown that in parts of the old world streams which were navigable century ago when the land was covered with heavy forests, now run dry each season and can no longer be depended on. The destruction of the timber has so de- creased the rainfall that the rivers have become practically useless as navigable streams. Various instances of this kind bring us to the convic- ton that, at least in many cases, the deserts receive no rain because they are dry. and not that they are dry be- cause they get no rain.
The Montgomery advertiser., 1901-07-03

Referring to The Advertisers state ment a few days ago that many Re- publicans are in, favor of calling a halt on the high tariff racket, The Hunts- vile Tribune says:
 Reduce the vote of Alabama down to the intelligent white men and put the Democratic Congressional nominees on a plank embodying the above ideas, and the Republicans will make sweep.
 We'll, if nothing were involved ex- cept the supremacy of the Republican or the Democratic Party. The Adver- tiser would be willing to risk 1t on "the intelligent white men" of Alabama. If majority of that vote isn't Oem- ocratic we would look on the triumph of the Republicans as just and right. And. going farther. if we couldn't beat the Republicans with the intelligent white vote, on a revenue tariff plat form. we should consider it time for the Democrats to go out of business.
