M'CLELLAN'S NAME.

The President Is hardly over his en-
barrassment about the Bewanhaka Yacht
Club dinner, and Sir Thomas Llptons
invitation thereto, whom he finds new
trouble in tho fact that In his address at
sharpsburg no omitted to mention the
name OF tho Union commander upon that
field, General Mcclellan.
The fact that the President and Gov
crnor Murphy both forgot Ito mention
little Mao" Is a subject of great
deal OF newspaper comment Just now.
While It may DO admitted that from
an official point Of view 1t was more
incGmbent upon the Governor than upon
tho President to introduce tho name Of
Mcclellan, more was expected from the
scholar and historian. Roosevelt, than
from New Jerseys present Executive.
About all the explanation that has been
made by them Is that they. just forgot to
do It. The Baltimore SUM- however 70
calls the fact that many years ago upon
tho Same field, when the then President
Andrew johnson and the Governors OF
New York and New Jersey were present,
y q like omission occurred.
N On Saturday, in Prospect Park. HOOK
Ign, at meeting of the veterans ana
their sons in commemoratlon OF the pat
tie Of sharpsburg, or Antletam, as they
call 1t, General Horato G. King was tho
orator Of the day. and he took pains to
euloglzo Mcclellan greatly. He gave him
S especial credit as an organizer, and as
sorted that Mcclellan was never realty
relieved of the command OF the army. Il
On that point we must say no differs
very widely from Swinton, the historian
Of tho Army Of no Potomac
Past Commander Kay followed General
King on tho list Of speakers. and he
wasted no time In reaching the point he
wanted to emphasize. Ho said General
Mcclellan was the commander at Ant1e-
tam, and this must never DO forgotten
The newspaper accounts all say that
the people present were vigorous I'm their
applause Mt every patriotic utterance
of the various speakers, and particularly
vehement at any reference to General
Mcclellan"
We cannot but accept the explanation
of the friends of the President and Cow
ernor Murphy that the omission OF tho
name Of Mcclellan in thoir addresses at
sharpsburg was un!ntentional. but after
reading what the New York and New
Jersey papers have had to say about It.,
we venture to predict that they will not
do so any more III

THE SOUTH'S PROGRESS.

we referred the other day to the Won
drous progress which the South Is madlng
In the manufacture Of cotton, and men
toned the interesting fact that tho
Southern mills are now consuming more
raw cotton than the mills OF New Eng
land. This astounding fact has not es-
ca ned the attention OF New Englanders,
and the Boston Globe Of recent date
makes the following alluslon to the cot
ton industry OF the South
1.-TWO singular facts seem to be oper-
ating in the South; the one IS mat OF
Unprecedented prosperity with good
prices for cotton, and the other ~ a
labor famine,
"From 1882 10 1885 the price Of cotton
was abnormally low. But in 1899 there
came an increase In, price and since
then there has been steady advance
based largely on the fact that consump-
ton has overtaEen production, result
ing IN gradual lessening OF the surplus
stock of cotton throughout the world
1.-THE South will receive better price
for It's cotton this Year than for the
last ten or twelve years, and II seems
certain that the aggregate value OF the
crop will be sG000o0,O00
ESTIMATING this crop at s6oo0ooGdo, the
total value OF the last four crops. sect
included. has been about sg,2oD'go,ooo
while the total value of the four pre-
ceding crops was about s!,GoQ10,0oo, az
average increase OF si6oooo.o0o year.

A TAN OF STRAW.

A northern writer In discussing the
ground that to deprive a negro OF tho
right to vote Is to deprive him OF every
stimulus to action, to accumulate proper
ty and to make himself good citizen.
He further argues that every taxpayer
should have tho right to vote In order to
protect his interests, and 80 on,
AS for he latter contention. this writer
seems to overlook the fact that many
taxes without being allowed tho priyi-
lego of voting.
But passing over that phase OF the sub,
ject, let us come to the main point, The
trouble with the northern writer is that
he sets UP man OF straw ana then pro-
ceeds to knock him down. In those South,
ern States where measures have been
taken, to exclude large numbers of ne
groes from the suffrage, there is no inten-
ton, certainly not SO far as the State OF
Virginia Is concerned, to deprive negro
taxpayers Of the voting privilege. Indeed
under our system there Is every incentive
to the negro TO qualify himself, to accu
mulate property and TO make OF himsel
a good and useful citizen, II he pays a.
much as one dollar year to the State o
Virginia in taxes on real or persona
property, and pays his poll tax, he VII
be permitted TO register and vote, i
fact. under the registrations held las
year and this year, he was not even re
auired to pay poll tax. but only mini

"f1yery year the South is looking up.
but industrally speaking, the. cry ~ for
more negroes, The cotton Will not PICK
itself, and the negro Is steadily leaving
tho farin.' {J
When II Is remembered that onlya few
wears aso tho South was completely de-
yastated by disastrous war, when 1t Is
remembered that nfter tho war there
was hardly stalk OF cotton and not q
single cotton mill In the whole Southern
territory, the fact that the South Is now
producing from ton to twelve million
bales OF cotton d year, and Is actually
CONSUMING In her numerous cotton mills
more raw cotton than all the mills OF
New England, the Southern people may
we'll feel proud Of thair achievements
and the Northern people may we'll take
mote Of the new situation. If the South
],as accomplished 80 much under such
adverse circumstances 1t IS but fair to
assume that she will accomplish much
more In the Same length OF time TO come.
Our Boston contemporary seems to
think that the South will not DO nblo to
get along without the negro. 1t 10 true
that negro labor on the cotton planta-
tons Is desira bio but It has boon shown
that in tho state Of Texas very row
negroes are employed on the farms
most Of the cotton being raised by white
labor Many negroes may decide to
leave the Southern cotton fields, but as
the great bulk Of them have remained
until this time, It /. probable that they
will remain indefinitely. But, In any
event. tho Southern people will meet the
situation, and the South will continue to
produce an abundance Of raw cotton
with or without negro labor. The only
danger which We SEQ Is that the high
price Of raw cotton may stimulate the
cotton growing Industry In foreign cpun-
tries, but that Is q remote contingency. 5
AS for tho manufacturing industry.
Southern mills are operated almost az
ouslvely BY white labor, and are In no
way dependent upon negro operatives.
But the cotton industry is only ono OF
tho many Industries of the South. The
iron Industry has grown In enormous pro-
portions, and Is continually developing,
and there are many medicinal industries
which nre rapidly making the South one
Of tho greatest manufacturing sections
Of the entire country. Wo cannot hope
that the present prosperity will continue
Indefinitely without q setback. for o.
period of depression will in all probability
come, MS such periods invariably fol-
lowed seasons OF prosperity in tho past.
But the South Is In position to hold
Its own under any condition with other
sections, and tho development will con-
itinue,, During the present Heasonsof pros
perty Southern farmers and Southern
manufac turers and Southern merchants
and Southern men In all departments Of
trade and industry have generally In
creased their wealth. and strengthened
tho foundations of the commercial and
Industrial system, and we believe that
the South Is to-day better prepared than
any other section to stand a\season Of

LABOR AND TARIFF.

A conference OF three hundred and thirty
delegates from cooperative societies and
trades unions In the United Kingdom,
representing membership Of 240,oO0 was
held in Birmingham. England. last Sat-
urday Tho conference adopted q reso-
ution expressing belief In the advantage
of FREQ trade. and condemning preferential
tariffs as adding to the burdens OF the
working classes and creating International
and colonial discord.
The conference Is right Protection does
not protect the worklngman from foreign
competition. But 1t makes him pay more
for his supplies. 1t is 80 In the United
States. American workingmen are In
competition with the worklngmen OF the
world, and 1t Is nonsense for protection
lists to argue otherwise.

Hickory timber Is becoming scarce. and
1T seems that itsells we'll, at good figures,
AT a recent meeting OF the Hickory
Handle Manufacturers Association, held
In st. Louis there were present sixty
persons, representing 90 per cent, OF tho
manufacturers who usc this wood, Ac-
cording to tho statements made by sew
ernl OF these gentlemen, they have not
been able to meet the demands on them
on account of their inability to secure
tho raw material, The market price of
green sawed hickory was said to be
$50 per one thousand feet, Mnnufac-
turers, however, buy hickory In any form
that 1t can be obtained, and prices are
ranged accordingly. In the last sever,
months the price OF hickory products
has advanced 100 per cent, We are told
there is nothing yet suggested that VIII
satisfactorily fill tho place of hickory
in manufactures. The statement was
| made that the manufacture of buggles,
| which has greatly Increased within the
last few years, has made great inroads
on the hickory supply.
There is very little hickory timber
left standing In Virginia. West Virgins
probably Is better off in this respect than
the Old Dominion. North Carolina. We
dare say, is better off than either, What
there is left In this country should be
quite valuable when marketed, The pros
pect is that the price will Increase as
the years go by.
