SPANS YOUNG KING.

Up to the time of the accession of
young Alfonso of Spain to the throne,
some three or four months ago, the
public were taught to believe that he
was a goody-goody boy of the Little
Lord Fauntleroy sort, wearing wide
collars upon his shoulders and being
ever thoughtful for the happiness of
his dearest mamma. Since coming to
his throne. however, Alfonso has been
showing his people a thing or two;
and In such a manner that they are
not quite satisfied whether he is crazy,
precoeious. or just a "chip off the old
block" and following In the footsteps
Of his father. who, as is very well
known, was dissipated. INSCRIPTIONS
and cynical.
Recently King Alfonso made a tour
Of hts country, during which he
caused his ATTENDANTS no end OF anx-
iety and annoyance. A. one town

At another town he stopped a big pa
rade in his honor and made it wait
while he took photographs of arches
and points of interest. On the road
to still another town he turned his
party several miles out of the way
and wasted several hours because he
wanted 10 see mine. On another oc-
casion he refused to occupy dias at
reception because it did not meet
with his approval In Madrid one
morning he appeared at the artillery
barracks at 6 o'clock and ordered the
men out on parade Immediately. They
were ready in twenty-seven minutes,
and he led them through the main
streets and before the palace.
1t is not such freaks as the foregoing,
however. that are giving the Spanish
people so much uneasiness. They
could eondone such things, or excuse
them on the ground of heredity. But
the King has lately been showing an
astonishing amount of irreverence for
religious things. At Cabadonga the
Bishop was showing him the holy rel
les in the famous shrine. When the
Bishop reached st. Peters toenail and
st. Peters hair, Alfonso laughed and
turning to the venerable preate said:
Bishop, do you believe that nom
sense?" Then he said he was hungry,
and went away to get his dinner, leav-
ing the Bishop properly Mortified.
One night not long ago, in Madrid,
the King disguised himself as a work
ingman and spent the entire night
drinking and frolicking in a cheap
dance hall. 1t was morning when he
got back to the palace. The Queen
Mother had been waiting up all night
for him. When he came in drunk she
demonstrated with him; whereupon Al
fonso told her If she didn't mind her
own business he would have the
guards put her out of the palace, and
he was actually on the point of ring
ing to summon the guards when his
confessor approached and smoothed
matters over 1t is said that since
that time his mother has not seen the
King except in company. 1t is also
told that Alfonso consorts with a
rough and dissipated element, and
brings questionable characters into the
palace. And he is only seventeen years
old. If the tales told of him are
true, Spain has not a great deal to
expect of his reign.

THE sOUTH's CONSUMPTION OF
COTTON.


The showing made in the annual re-
port of Secretary Hester. of the New
Orleans Cotton Exchange, of the cot
ton manufacturing industry in the
South is extremely gratifying, partic-
ularly to those who have been predict
ing that the South would eventually
become the chief cotton manufacturing
section of the country.
1t is a fair conclusion that in an
other year the South will be consum-
ing more cotton in her mills than the
North. Last year, the year of 1901
1902, the Northern mills took 2,040, 900
bales and the Southern mills 1887, 9S1
bales. From these figures it appears
that the Northern mills took only about
100000 bales more than the mills of
the South.
The fact must be taken into con-
sideration that the number of cotton
mills in the South is steadily increas-
ing. The increase in the number of
spindles last year was 1851, OSS. We
haven't the figures in reference to
spindles in the North, but 1t is doubt
full if there was an increase in that
section.
AS a matter of fact New England
spinners are putting money in mills
in the South instead of charging their
mills in the North. Southern mills
pay better than mills at the North.
There are several reasons for this,
the main one being probably that the
cost of cotton delivered at the South
ern mills is much less than the cost
of it delivered at Northern mills. Be
sides, owing to the milder climate of
the South. labor is cheaper.
All things considered it is not at all
remarkable that the cotton manufac-
turing industry in the South should
be growing while the industry in the
North should be declining. 1t will be
of course many years before the finer
cotton goods will be manufactured in
the South to the extent they are man
ufactured in the North, but as capital
increases in the South. attention will
be given to the manufacturing of the
finer grades of goods.
One thing that is beginning to at
tract attention at the North in con-
nection with cotton manufacturing in
the South is the utilizing of water
power by Southern spinners. There
are fine water powers in this
state and in pretty nearly all of the
other cotton states. OF course the
mills are not run by water power,
but the water powers are used to gem
crate electrical power, and this power
is used in manufacturing. 1t will not
be many years when there will be
twice as many factories at Columbus,
in this state, as there are there now.
The amount of electrical power that
is being developed there from the wa,
ter power is enormous. The outlook
in the South for cotton manufacture
ing is certainly of the most encour-
aging character.

Uncle Rube Goe. shopping.

''At turn of the road 1 came upon a
colored man seated on a rock and
counting over a number of packages
beside him." laughingly related our
Southern Tramp, according to the De-
troit Free Press. He had evidently
been down to the village to trade and
as he seemed to be in a puzzle,
asked:
Well. Uncle RUDE. don't the count
come out rieht?'
" No. sab. it don't. he replied, an

CURRENT COMMENT.

The New York Herald Qnd) says:
isn't 1t about time to declare it up
to- Mayor Low and TO request him to
redeem his prediction promises? He
can compel his police commissioner to
action or force him to make way for
some one else who will turn to and
drive the raScalS out. Remembering
the hundred and one assaults he made
upon DeVeryism in the days when he
was delivering ringing speeches and
registering prediction promises, are
the citizens of this city asking more
than their due in demanding the sup
preston of vice that exists and flour
ishes under Partridgism
The Chicago News Qnd.) says: at is
satisfactory to note that Gov. Taft

eating the Filipino lis not neglecting
the practical requirements in the way

seems TO be eminently practical In
this respect, of course, the future des-
tiny of the islands rests largely with
the inhabitants themselves. 1t may
yet be found that the chief obstacle in
the way of independence is the sloth-

JoHNsoN,s BOOM LAUNCHED.

Just now there is considerable spec
ulation as to the chances of Tom
Johnson, Mayor of Cleveland, o., of
being the next nominee of the Demo-
cratic party for President. He was
put squarely in the race for the nomi-
nation by his friends at the Demo-
cratic State Convention of Ohio last
Wednesday, and they acted with his
consent and approval.
Mayor Johnson has succeeded in
drawing to his support that class of
people who are always ready to be-
come converts to new isms. OF course
he has the good will of many of the
most prominent Democrats of his
state. Nevertheless, i; is probable
that the bulk of those who are now
putting him forward as a presidential
candidate are Populists. or sympa-
thized with Populism when the Pop
ulist party was stronger in Ohio than
1t is now.
His programme is, as we have stat
ed on several occasions, to be nomi-
mated for Governor of his state next
year. He will make a supreme effort
to be elected, and if he is successful
there is no doubt that he will have a
very considerable following in the
Democratic National Convention.
The drift of Democratic sentiment,
however. is not in the direction of the
principles which MIR. johnson depends
upon for success. He strongly APP
proves the Kansas City platform and
the Ohio Democratic Convention in
dorsed it. but Democrats of the Middle
West, do not, as a rule, approve that
platform. Democratic state conven-
tions in Illinois,, Indiana. Iowa and
Michigan have repudiated it. The ac-
ton of Iowa Democrats was taken on
Wednesday last and that of the Mich
igan Democrats on Thursday.
Mr.. Johnson will no doubt have, in
addition TO his own following, the sup
port that Mr. Bryan would have if the
latter were a candidate. but Mr.. Bryan
is not the popular favorite that he was
before his last campaign. AS the
Democratic situation now presents it.
self it does not appear that Mr. John
son has much chance for the nomi-
nation. The promptness with which
Democrats in their state conventions
platform justifies the opinion that no
man can be nominated who insists up
on that platform being reaffirmed.
