not kept pace with the increase of con-
sumption 1t has been computed that
the normal addition to the worlds
consumption of cotton is 100000 bales
a year. The annual output from the
United States is by no means augment
ed in corresponding proportion. Five
years ago, from 23.000,000 acres, we
produced 11,250,000 bales, yet, although
the acreage last season was rs per
cent larger, the latest government re-
port has shown that the crop was
smaller by about million bales. Mr..
Hutton, like Mr.. Sully, whose article
on the same subject appeared in an
earlier number of the review name~,
believes that. for want of labor and
other reasons, there is little likennood
that we shall witness in the immedi-
ate future any larger increase in the
bulk of our yearly product. From
these data the deduction seems una
voidabIe that IL the worlds demand
for cotton cloths is to go on expand

opened, outside of the United States

LippIncott's Magazine.

A very summary flower is that of
this number of Lippincott's. Kitty of
the Roses is a very idyl of June. We
forget the din and the dust of the city
as Ralph Henry Barbuer takes us into
that Rose Garden where Kitty rules
the roses.
Their are nine good short stories.
The poets have brought roses and
spices of rhyme. ''Walnuts and
Wine" is as usual rich and sparkling.
Here are garnered nuggets of truth.
Real sayings of real people. Bright
verse about sure enough folks. Quaint
bits of real Child Lore.
OF popular papers there are four.

The House An the woods.

There was naver a better story OF
a dream made true than Arthur Henry's
story of the House in The Woods. But
we must keep in mind the fact that two
very capable dreamers worked for the
fuIfillment of the vision. Two people
who can live in New York, send money
sand dollars in three years are capa-
BILE workers. That did Nancy and the
hero do. 1t was this fund made and
saved that built the house with the vast
fireplace. That bought the cows, and
wrought the garden out of the wilder
ness and drew the neighbors anear
with kindly, loving touch. The neigh
bors and friends were the carpenter,
the brick-mason. the pillow men who
helped to rear the house and conquer
the garden spot
These neighbors had the wit and the
wisdom that come to those who live
near to nature.
These two philosophers had out of
their labor in the city won much wis
dom. This like their earned income
they spent freely among their neigh
bors, but they got back golden change
of mother-wit and coin of experience.
I dare say that out of this very ex-
making the author will make many
times the cost of her investment. For

JUNE.

Along some gardens grassy way
Beneath the swaying boughs of shad-
owed trees
Her worn heart dancing on the fiutter-
ing breeze
How lives bright June to camp in
tossed AIRY.
Breathing fragrancy on the dreamy air
To revef in her beauty's own delight
In banks of roses rising In flight
OF wild luxuriancy everywhere,
Now youth and gladness smile at hopes
caress
While marks the dial that the sun is
high
Let ever June in all her joyousness
Shall haste along too soon and pass us
by,
Till roses growing sweeter in decay.
Like kindly age, at length shall fade
away.

William Allen White contributes to
McClure's Magazine al article in fulsome
praise of the president, which is entitled
How Roosevelt Uncovered the Postal
Frauds The sense II humor must be
i'll developed in the Mcclure editorial
rooms, since foot-note to the article reads:
For more detailed account Of the
facts given in this article see the official
report Of Fourth Assistant Postmaster
General Bristow, etc.
Mr.. Bristow did indeed uncover GER
tain postal rascalities Postmaster Gen
eral Payne, the practical politician, . who
in spite of gross unftness Is retained in
Office because of his political usefulness,
angrily denounced the charges as 'shot all. I"
Under stress of necessity proceedings were
begun; seven men have been convicted.
Only one was in the department; one was a
Democrat of prominence, but of compare
lively slight offending. Beavers is not
yet tried. Heath, who remained secre-
tary of the Republican national committee
long after his offences were known, is not
even in jeopardy. And now, though the
culpable must be literally hundreds in
number, yet further proceedings are sus-
pended ''until after election like the
trust prosecutions under the Sherman act.
They might hurt the party.
Mr.. White elegantly says that the presi-
dent went at the investigation as terrier
goes after rat. Since the investigation
was not even begun until Washington
newspaper had for weeks made public
charges against officials, the comparison
does not hold. A terrier does not have tc

profoundly stirred by the new Democratic

MENAcE TO THE CONSTITUTION.
Citizens Must Ever Be on Guard against
the Dangers Of Usurpation.
From Judge Alton B. Parkers address of &C
ceptanee--Augnst 10th, lsos,)


Il becomes desirable to call attention to
the fact that the people, in whom all power
resides, have seen it, through the medium
of the Constitution, to limit the govern
mental power conferred and to say 10 de-
partments created by it: Thus far shalt
thou 90 and no farther To secure the
ends sought the people have by the Constr
tuition separated and distributed among the
three departments Of government-the
executive, legislative and judicial-certain
powers, and it is the duty of those admin
istering each department. so to act as to
preserve, rather than to destroy, the potency
Of the coordinate branches of the govern
ment, and thus secure the exercises of all
the powers conferred by the people.
Thomas Jefferson, in letter to VIM.
c. Jarvis, touching the perpetuity of our
institutions, written many years after he
had retired to private life, said IF the
three powers of our government maintain
their mutual independence Of each other,
it may last long, but not SO if either can
assume the authority of the other" 1t
must be confessed that in the course of
our history executives have employed
powers not belonging to them; statutes
have been passed that were expressly for
hidden by the Constitution, and statutes
have been set aside as unconstitutional
when it was difficult to point out the pro-
visions said to be offended against in their
enactment; all this has been done with a
good purpose, no doubt, but in disregard,
nevertheless, of the fact, that ours is a gov
ernment of laws, not of men, deriving its
just powers from the consent of the gov
erned. If we would have our government
continue during the ages to come, for the
benefit of those who shall succeed us, we
must ever be on our guard against the dan
ger Of usurpation of that authority which
resides in the whole people.
