The Record Wishes Its Readers the Compliments olhe

the chief issue has been the ques-
ton of annexation to the United
States will be all the more surpris-
ing. The election, which takes
place tomorrow, is for member of
the Chamber of Deputies at Paris.
The annexation issue has been up
permost in the campaign, notwith-
standing the announcement from
Paris that the French government
was not contemplating the sale of
the islands. The islands are valu-
able solely as fishing stations and
this accounts in a great measure for
the annexation sentiment that has
lately developed there. Most of
the supplies are imported from the
United States and the citizens be-
-lieve that if the islands were sold to
that country these necessities
would be imported free of duty
They also argue that it would be
great advantage to be able to land
their fish in the American markets
free.
The annexation sentiment, howev
er, is by no means unanimous, and
the campaign has been very heated,
several duels having been fought on
account of it.

Foreign Cotton Production.

It is certain that neither the cotton
growers of the West can wholly disrc-
gard the rivalry which other countries
are beginning to offer to the products
of their plantations and plains. The
time is undoubtedly coming when Can
ada will supply Great Britain with
much larger share of her bread than at
present, and whether or not this COM
petition will have any serious effect on
the wheat productions of the United
States remains to be seen. In like man
ner. though in less degree, the Ameri-
can King Cotton is to have rivals be-
You'd our borders. =
In recent years, Russia has largely
developed the industry of cotton grow
inc In her central Asian provinces,
marked progress Is being made in Egypt
and fnIndia, and now the enterprise IS
being undertaken on large scale in
West Africa, chiefly by Germans,
though Englshmen are taking some
interest in it. Three years ago the Ger
man Colonial Agricultural Committee
began a series of experiments in Togo
land in the cultivation Of cotton under
the direction of experts from America.
Men and machinery were secured from
Alabama, and the work was begun on a
considerable scale. The results of two
years growing are now made known,
and they seem decidedly favorable to
the African cotton enterprise. About
10000 pounds of cotton have been
shipped to Germany, and sold at an
average price of little less than five
cents pound. The fibre is said to be
about equal in quality to mi,,Aling
American, though some of it is deciA
edly superior to that grade. Under the
present primitive methods Of cultiva-
ton, and with the present inadequate
means of transport, the cotton costs
delivered in Germany, about II cents
pound, but 1t is confidently estimated
that improved methods and means will
make it possible to deliver 1t for be-
tween three and four cents pound.
At present, of course, there is no com
petition to our cotton fields in such ex
.periments, and it is not likely that there
will be in our generation. America en-
Joys the unique advantages, which AZ
RIGA and Asia are not likely to gain, OF
having the cotton fields and the cotton
mills near together. But if America
realizes that foreign rivalry is impend-
ing, it will be much better to meet ii
and cope with it, if it ever develops in
to Il great industrial and commercial
struggle.

this week. and never did monarch
ascend his throne under circumstances
more ominous. The dispatches from
Belgrade say that the new King was
extremely grave" and that The did not
smile" We may well believe this. Inc
city was in gala attire, and martial
music and waving banners and cheer
ing thrones marked his welcome to the
capital. There were arches above MN
and flowers in the street below, but
Peter. coming to the throne he had
hoped for through half a century OF
exile. could not smile. He saw, IN
stead of the flowers and flags, the
blood dripping from the throne, and
heard. above the cheers and the music
the death groans of the butchered
King and Queen. And the officers and
ministers welcoming him were all as
sassins who had mutilated the body
| of a murdered woman. 1t is small
wonder that Peter was extremely
! grave"
A King often faces serious problems.
| 1t is an Incl dent of his trade. But the
dilemma before King Peter is one such
as few monarchs have encountered in
our time All foreign ministers, ex-
cept those of Russia and Austria, left
Belgrade so as not to be present when
he arrived. and it is an open secret
that the two countries whose repre-
sentatives have recognized him arc
lusting for the conquest of Servia.
They demand of him that he punish the
assassins and are likely to enforce the
command. On the other hand, he owes
his throne to these assassins, and his
occupancy of the throne and his life it
self are in their keeping. They demand
amnesty and promotion. Servia is a
little mountain kingdom, but the
events of the near future there viii!
command the attention of the world
and may seriously upset the political
affairs in Europe.
