1t has been suggested that the name
of Meeting street. in Charleston, be
changed to Hampton avenue, in honor
of the gallant old Confederate cavalry
commander whose death the South was
recently called upon TO mourn. Hamp-
tor was worthy of, any honor that
could be bestowed upon him, unques-
tionably. and Charleston has before
now named streets after eminent South
Carolinians. her street nomenclature
including such names as Calhoun, Rut-
ledge, Bull, Pinckney, Gadsden, etc.
But it may be doubted that the prop
osition to change the name of Meeting
street Will be sustained by a majority
of sentiment. That street is one of the
two running through the city from end
to end. 1t was from colonial times.
and is to-day, one of the principal
streets of the city, and as such has be-
come associated in a thousand ways
with Charleston history. The very
name has become landmark of which
all Charlestonians are proud. Charles
ton without Meeting street." even if
Hampton avenue" were substituted
would lack something which the ma
tives would never cease to regret 1t
may be that some one of the important
cross-town streets will be given the
name of Hampton street running
paxallel with Calhoun-but we doubt if
the people of the old city will give
up their Meeting street under any cir
cunstances.

vALuE OF THE COTTON CROP.

In, an article in the New York Herald
an effort is made to show that by the
rise that has taken place in the price
of cotton since last October the cotton
planters have benefited to the amount
of $15,000,000. OF course that is, an eX-
aggerated statement. The increase
has been about $1025 a bale, and it is
calculated that the planters have ben
Gifted to the extent of $3.50 a bale,
counting the crop at 100000 bales.
1t is a safe assertion that the bulk of
the crop was marketed before there
was much rise in the price. Of course,
many planters held their cotton, but
the number was small in comparison
with the whole number. That the plan
ters have benefited to the extent of
$75, 100000 by the rise is purely a guess.
1t would be nearer the truth perhaps
if it were stated that the rise had put
$40,000000 more in their pockets than
they would have had if the price had
remained as it was in September.
There is no longer any doubt that
those who specialized on the basis of a
10, 100000 bale crop We're fortunate
while those who insisted on a 1900, 900
bale crop have lost fortunes.

CURRENT COMMENT.

OF the Southern Education Confer
ence the Philadelphia Record (Dem.)
says: That the white youth of the
Southern states should be educated is
a matter of grave Importance to the
whole nation. Under our Republican
institutions the enlightenment of the
future citizens in every part of the
country must be of general concern.
AT this time it is more necessary that
there should be good colleges in every
Southern state than that any of the
great universities of the North should
be enriched by further millions"
The New York Journal of Com
merce Qnd) says: Ancient legisla-
ton, fortified by ignorance and pref
udice, makes American ships more eX-
pensive to operate than any other; /;
consequently we have to endure the
humiliation of seeing American ships
continue sailing under the protection
of another flag. The shipping combine
will have one advantage if it opens the
eyes of those who adhere to the belief
that legislation can force capital into
channels made Improbable by artificial
restrictions. even when subsidies are
invented to overcome such impedi-
ments."
The New York Evening Post Qnd)
says: Hen-Roaring Jake, Mr..
Stephen Bonsal informs us. is the
name by which Gen. Smith is known
among his army intimates. If his pri-
waite conversation is more gruesome
than the military orders which, it is
now undisputed. he gave in Samar.
he fully deserves the sobriquet. Indis-
criminate slaughter of non-combatants
and the laying of the whole island
waste-that is what the counsel of an
American general admits to court
martial that he ordered. He may yet
offer the defense, as Maj. Waller did.
that he was only executing bloody in
structions which came to him from
his superior officers"

Judge Tuley of Chicago is the author
of a new and dangerous "unwritten
law" He had before him a divorce
case in which it was shown that the
husband had cruelty beaten his wife.
"A woman owes it to her SEX" said the
judge, ito get a revolver and kill such
a brute as this man was proved to be.
If she is afraid to do it, her male rel
atives ought to do it for her. A wife
has perfect right to shoot and kill
a husband who beats her The law of
self-defense is the first law of nature
The law provides punishment for wife
beaters. There is no jury but would
grant a woman relief against brutal
and tyrannical husband. The judges
advice to women to shoot and kill is
gratuitous and dangerous. At best life
is held too cheaply now.
