sHERMAN's MARCH.

It is none Of our fight, but We wish
TO go on record as indorsing everything
the Nashville American has said about
Gen. William T. Sherman and his
march to the sea. There is not in
the whole annals of civilized warfare,
If such an expression may be used, a
record that for brutality, incendiar-
ism, slaughter, devastation and gene
raj barbarism that comes anywhere
near the one that Sherman cut across
the bosom of the South on that march.
His path was strewn with ruin, cities
were burned, women outraged, farm
property ruthlessly destroyed, defense
less people robbed and, in fact, if
there was any possible crime that
Sherman's army did not commit we do
not know what it was. Possibly it
will do no good at the present time to
discuss that black page in history,
but the time will never comet
ought not to come-when self-respect-
ing Southerners will quietly listen to
defense of Sherman and his march to
the sea. The men who are responsible
for the discussion are the ones who
are rushing to the defense of Sher-
man. When a mans own brother
would not defend HIM, others ought
not to try it. There will be no recon
cilliation in this country if we are to
indorse Sherman to bring Il about

The Message of Easter.

A living hope by the resurrection
of Jesus Christ from the dead" !" is the
message which Easter morning brings
to us. Not without reason therefore
Christians celebrate Easter Sunday
with thanksgiving and praise to Christ
who hath abolished death, and hath
brought life and Immortality to slight
through the gospel" 1t ought to be
a day of rejoicing. Indeed, if we
could fully apprehend and rightly
appreciate the glorious life beyond,
which the resurrection of Christ an
nounces and demonstrates as an abso-
lutte certainty, we could not repress
the emotions of gladness and JOY which
would thrill our hearts. The resur-
rection Of Christ is monumental fact
whose base rests on earth and whose
top reaches into heaven. With CRATE
full hearts, with simple faith, with
fervent prayer, with holy love, let us,
on Easter morning, unite with the
thousands of Christians throughout
the world in weaving around this
monument a garland of praise. :
Christian Advocate.

New York, March 27.-Mine work
ers and mine owners of the anthracite
fields debated their differences for
four hours today in conference ar
ranged by the Cancellation committee
of the National Civic Federation, but
the meeting was without result save
that the workes agreed not to strike
on April l as decreed at the Shamokin
convention. There is to be further
friendly discussion between the two
interests and Senator Hanna, as chair
man Of the industrial department of
the federation, was empowered to call
another conference at any favorable
time within the next 80 days. The
workers asked for an increase in pay, a
shortening of the working day and the
adoption of scale for the entire dis
trict. The operators declined to grant
the demands as to time and pay and
refused to permit the complete union
ization of their properties. The opera
tors offered to meet employees with
grievances at any time but insisted
that there be no distinction Between
union and non-union men. They also
asserted that present market condi-
tions did not warrant any incease in
wages or decrease in working time.

Washington, March 28.-The State
department will take no steps to bring
to the attention of the Danish govern
ment the charges against the integrity
of American statesmen preferred by
Capt. Christmas and yesterday
brought to the attention of the house
of representatives. The department
regards the charges as unworthy its
attention, by reason of insufficient evi-
dence and obvious error in statement Of
alleged facts. The department is per
fectly aware also that the Danish gov
eminent does not intend to pay one
cent of the $40, 900 claimed by Christ
mas as his commission, so that, Of
course, none of that money could be
used to corrupt American statesmen
and newspapers.

Value OF COTTON SEED.
Formerly Considered Waste, it is
Now a Valuable Product.

Compiled by the Boston News Bureau.
To fuller understanding of the i'm
portance of the merger in process in
the cotton industry the following relat-
ing to cotton seed and its products and
to fertilizers for cotton production, is
necessary.
Formerly cotton seed was thrown
away. Stringent laws were in force in
most cotton producing States requir-
ing its destruction to avoid the poison
ing of streams, or the destruction of
cattle or of agricultural lands.
In 1870 practically all the cotton
seed oil that was made was exported,
and its total value was under SIS, 600.
In 1880 there were 45 mills, exporting
nearly 7,000,O0O gallons of oil, valued
at s., 225, 600.
In 1890 there were 357 mills, crush
ing 2,479, 1856 tons of seed, producing
SO, 325, 729 gallons, valued at s21, 800,
674, besides by-products, that brought
up the value to $40, Al, ,935. These
are the value at point of production.
Of the above, the exports of oil alone
were 49, 356, TAI gallons, valued at
sic, 541, ,321. The amount of seed crush
ed was barely one half of the available
supply and in a." "short-crop'' year.
The vast increase of the business has
not kept pace with the increase in the
demand for this pure vegetable oil,
which is rapidly becoming as import
ant to mankind as has become the lint
or COTTON and there seems to be
almost no limit to the uses of and
needs for it. So, too, with the ever
increasing by-products.
Some figures will illustrate this.
