A STREET FAIR.

The Victoria Fact does nor adj

entertain the idea Of a street fair.
Here is whot the Fact has to say
on the subject
"There Is talk of having a street
fair in Victoria. Any attempt to
give one should be black halled.
They are fakes pure and simple
and cause thousands Of dollars to
be drained from town where Il
dime is gained. We know this
from experience, aud there are
many of our people who can vouch

CERTAIN DEMOCRATIC GAINS.

In view Of the losses which they win
surely suffer in the south the Republicans
find it very hard to figure out a majority
IN the house of representatives to be
elected next November. They now have
the four representatives from West Vir-
ginia, the six from Maryland, the one
from Delaware. two from Tennessee,
three from Kentucky, two from Missouri
and two from North Carolina--a total of
twenty.
It seems practically certain that the
Democrats will gain two members in
West Virginia, four in Maryland, one in
Missouri, two in Kentucky, two in
North Carolina and one in Delaware,
total gain of twelve
The transfer of twelve seats from the
Republican to the Democratic side Of the
house will go a long way toward wiping
out the present Republican majority Of
forty-seven in that body. but there is
every reason to believe that the Demo-
Gratis will make decided gains in the
north as well as in the south
II they can capture in all the rest of the
country as many seats now held by Re-
publicans as they seem certain to win in
the south, they will have a majority Of
one in the next house. This figuring is
too close for comfort, but the best posted
Democrats do not cut their estimates
so low.
They consider twenty-five a conserva-
tive figure for the reasonably assured
Democratic majority in the popular
branch Of the next congress. 1t seems
probable that there will be Democratic
gains enough in New York, Ohio, Penn
sylvania, Indiana and Illinois, combined
with those that are assured in the south,
to give a decisive Democratic victory at
the November election.
In no part of the country is there a
prospect Of 2 net loss Of Democratic con-
gressional representation, while in ten or
twelve states Democratic gains will be
made.

MOST .BOUNTIFUL HARVEST IN THE
NATIONS HISTORY is NOW ASSURED

Minnesota and the Dakotas the harvest
has begun with a condition above 30
points Nearly everywhere the corn In
the fields promises a heavy crop and the
yield Of oats, it Is said. will exceed the
crop Of 1899 Statisticians now believe the
wheat crop of 1902 will exceed that Of its
predecessor in 1901 by at least 100000
bushels.
That is the latest estimate Of B. w.
Snow, one of the best-known crop experts
In the country. His total for the wheat
crop will be 100000 bushels. The same
authority saws the corn harvest VIII De &
5OO.OOOOOO, or nearly double that OF q year
ago. He puts the oats crop at 6So,OOV'OO0
bushels.
Ohio also expects to I'LL more granaries
than the July 1st condition promised.
Since that date Its percentage OF conoiuon
has been raised six points
The profit on corn and wheat has been
figured down to an average per acre.
This year the average yield OF corn Is
something like 80 bushels per acre, ana
the cost Of producing it is $5.75 per acre.
Consequently, the cost Of planting. culu-
waiting and gathering the corn crop Tor
the fan of 1862 will be S5Oo,00O000.
The value of the corn crop in 1901 was
1921 co., 900, but the corn went to higher
price certain seasons. 1t is probable that
corn, unless cornered, Will sell at cheap
er price this year, but the farmers VIII
more than double their money on corn
The wheat crop Of the United States sold
for S476 $50 15S in 1901 There is every prob
ability the crop will be as large this year,
but the wonderful increase in corn pro-
duction is likely to result in lowering the
average price obtained for wheat.

HOW WILL NEW ASSOCIATE JUSTICE

but Justice Gray, who changed his vote
on that memorable occasion. One of the
traditions of the supreme court is that
no affirmation or denial is ever given by
members OF the court of the secret DELHI

all these years the legal and political
world has labored under the impression
that II was Mr.. Justice Shiras who at
the eleventh hour changed his vote, so
that the court stood to 4 against the in
come tax. This, however, was once denied

tives by Representative Dalzell

COTTON nm CUBA.

The fact that a Philadelphia capitalist
has formed a syndicate which will engage
in cotton planting on a large scale in Cuba
has given rise to considerable speculation
as to the possibilities Of the experiment.
Most Of the articles on the subject that
we have seen have the appearance Of
being inspired" and are probably worth
very little as practical statements Of the
prospects of cotton culture in Cuba
Some Of these cotton theorists declare it
to be a certainty that Cuba will soon be
raising so much sea island cotton that
Georgia, now the chief producer Of that
article, will have to go out Of the business.
The sea island cotton planters Of Geor-
gia are not alarmed at the prospect thus
pictured. They have heard such predict
ions before and have never seen one Of
them realized.
Time and time again we have been told
that Egypt, Russian Asia, and other for
eign regions were to become very soon
powerful competitors of the south in the
production of cotton, but the supremacy
Of the south in cotton remains as distinct
and as well assured as ever. The idea
of making Cuba a great cotton producer
is not new.
The Savannah News, which ridicules the
Philadelphia syndicates Cuban cotton
scheme, says;
"As a matter of fact experiments have
been made in Cuba in the cultivation Of
cotton. They were made a century or
more ago, and again during the civil war
in this country when there was great
demand for cotton. If the experiments
had been successful Cuba would now be
producing cotton. Evidently there is
something in the soil or climate Of the
island that is not suited to the cotton
plant. There is no reason yet known
that justihes the opinion that Cuba will
become a rival Of this country in the pro-
ddction of cotton"
1t may be accepted as a certainty that
the south will continue to be the worlds
main dependence for cotton; that the uses
and value of cotton will increase far be-
yond what they now are; that the south
will manufacture much greater quantity
and proportion Of her great staple crop
than she has ever yet taken to her own
mills and thereby realize profits which
the mere raising Of no amount Of raw
cotton could ever bring her.
