COTTON STILL KING.

Statistics just made public by the
Department of Commerce and Labor
show that cotton is still king. The
exports of cotton and cotton products
far exceed the exports of any other
product. For this fiscal year the ex-
ports of cotton, cotton seed oil, cot
ton seed cake, cotton seed meal and
manufactured cotton goods will exceed
$500, 900, 900.
The amount of cotton exported this
fiscal year will be smaller than that
of the last fiscal year, but the value
of it will be considerably greater
because of its high price. 1t is in
teresthng to notice the increase in
the value of the exports of cotton
seed oil and cotton seed meal. In 1889
the value of cotton seed oil that was
exported was only about $1000,000
The value of that exported last year
was about $l4, $4,000 The amount
of cotton seed meal exported prior to
1894 was so small that it attracted no
attention. In fact, no account was
made of it. The amount exported last
year was Sl2, 100000
Pretty nearly all European countries
import these products. France, Ger
many Austria, Belgium, England, in
fact every one of them is q market
for them. Even Mexico and Brazil
take large quantities of them. And
the exports of the products of cotton
seed seem all the more remarkable
from the fact that it has been only
a few years since cotton seed was
regarded as of no value except as
fertilizer.
OF course, the corn and wheat crops
of the West attract a great deal of
attention, because they are SO large,
but they do not bring the money into
the country that cotton and its pro-
ducts do. The nation wouldn't be so
well off financially If it were not for
| these products. There would be times
when the government would find it
difficult to get the gold on which to
sustain its volume OF silver and paper.
Congress recognizes the importance
| of the cotton crop and when it was
proposed TO appropriate $250,OO0 at the
! last session of Congress to enable the
Department of Agriculture to discover
remedy for the boil weevil evil
there was but little opposition, ana
that little came from men who didn't
know the value Of the cotton crop to
the country. 1t will be a sad day
for this country. in fact, for many
other countries. IL the boil weevil over
runs the entire cotton belt. There
have been discoveries which have been
great boons to humanity, but no one
Of them was as great boon as the
discovery Of a remedy for the boil
weevil would be.

THE EFFORTS TO BEAT PARKER.

Judging from what is appearing in
the Republican papers relative to the
Democratic presidential situation the
Republicans are making greater efforts
to prevent the nomination of Judge
Parker than Mr.. Bryan or Mr.. Hearst
is. Their papers are full of statements
and cartoons indicating that Mr.. Cleve-
land is to be the Democratic nominee
for President.
Of course they do not think Mr.
Cleveland is going to be nominated.
Why is il then, that they are so per
sistent in keeping him before the pub
lie? Is it not their purpose to prevent
the nomination of Judge Parker if
they can by making ii appear that Mr..
Cleveland is the real choice of the
Democracy, knowing that his nomina-
ton is practically impossible? They
are continually asserting that Judge
Parker was brought forward only for
the purpose of checking the Hearst
boom, and that having accomplished
that he is being quietly dropped. Per,
haps they think they can use MIR.
Cleveland to check the Parker boom.
As a matter of fact il doesn't look
as if the Parker boom were losing
any Roadway One after another the
states are either instructing for Judge
Parker or making up their delegations
to ST Louis of Parker men. 1t is
probably true that one-half of the mem
bers of the convention will not be in
structed for him, but more than half
of the members will be favorable to
his nomination.
The reason of course that the Re
pubicans don't want Judge Parker
nominated is that he would almost
certainly carry New York, New Jersey
and Connecticut. They want the
Democrats to name candidate who
would stand but little chance of car
rying those states or any one of them
and for that reason they are doing
all they can to help the opponents of
Judge Parker to prevent his nominal
ton.
AS far as we are informed there has
been no delegation instructed as yet
for Mr.. Cleveland. Indeed, in no one
of the state conventions have there
been efforts to bring him forward as
candidate. II is difficult to see, there
fore what reasonable excuse the Re
publican newspapers have for insist
ing that the chances are that he will
be the nominee. 1t certainly cannot
be that they are afraid he will be
nominated. They know the situation
in the Democratic party very we'll,
and knowing it, must see that his
nomination is not probable.
No, their purpose is simply to use
Mr. Cleveland to destroy the Parker
boom. They will not succeed, for, as
already pointed out. Judge Parker IS
having aecessions of strength all the
time.

An ola story That's sad.

She might have been waiting for
car as she stood looking in the win
dow of a Vine street pawnshop, for
she took no apparent interest in what
she saw, but seemed to be merely i'd
hngs, says the Philadelphia Record.
n man who was watching her-doubt-
less because she was rather young
aud good ooking-saw her start sud-
denly, however, when her eyes fell
upon a plain gold ring lying in d tray
with others in the window. To the
man the ring booked no different from
the rest, but the woman eyed it keen
~, moving little and bending her
head from side to side as though she
would view it from all angles.
AT last, with some sort of a sup
pressed exclamation, she opened the
door of the pawnship and went in.
The observer being by this time suf-
hciently interested, entered the shop
Just after the man behind the counter
had put the tray of rings out. The
woman picked one up and looked on
the inside. There was an inscription
there-"C. E. to Nj H. 1902"
This ring is mine!" cried the wom-
an in some excitement.

broker with cynical smile.
mo, not that, exactly" said the
"S4iAeNAij hCSiltlllllSlys Jul II was IAN

"Oh, in the regular course of bust
ness"
How long have you had it?"
THAT 1 couldn't say. l don't re-
member. But it's all regular. The
time has expired and the ring is for
sale"
Now there were tears in the wom-
ans eyes. How much?" she asked,
a & cha IN bor
"A dollar and a half to you, mad
anne, considering the circumstances. d"
She gave him a glance half of ter
ror at what he might know, half of
anger at his impudent assurance, put
the price down on the counter, took
the ring and hurried out with it.
The broker looked at the man in
front of the counter with a depreeat-
ing smile. I'm not so cold blooded
as you think" he said, but business
is business. OF course, you'd like to
know the history of that ring, and
there was time when I would have
liked to know it, too, but it's too old
a story now with me. Married two
years; you know that much, and, of
course, it was her husband who
brought it here. He got only about
twenty-five cents on it because of the
writing inside. Whether it was to

either of them. It's the same old
thing. The woman still cares; he

looked out Of the window reflectively.
Then he said: Il got more from her
than l could have from anybody else,
ana she certainly wants it, so it's a
good trade"

CURRENT COMMENT.

The Rome (Ga.) Tribune (Dem.)
says: still, we do not believe that
Billy Bryan will go to the point of
squabbling with the umpire"
The Louisville Courier Journal
(Dem.) says: Senator Burrows says
that the Republican platform will not
be written by any one man. OF course
not. Teddy is at least two men, Of
fetal and unofficial"
The Chicago Chronicle (Dem.) says;
Considering the aimless policy of the
government respecting Porto Rico and
the Philippines, the next time the Gu
bans are called on for individual ex-
pressions of gratitude let them be
grateful that they escaped the fate of
the other islanders rescued from Span
ish rule"
The Galveston Tex) News (Dem.)
says: Mr.. Bryan responds to all hard
questions with the answer that he
stands just exactly where he did in
1900. He oYerlooks one or two things.
The first is that others do not stand
where they stood in 1900; that condi-
tions have changed since 1900; that he
lost then with no prospect of ever Win
ming again, while others lost then and
hope to win at another time"
The Hartford Comm Times (Dem.)
says: There seems to be some reason
to believe that Mr.. w. J, Bryan is
rapidly losing interest in the question
of who shall be nominated for Presi-
dent at st. Louis this year At the
same time a sudden development of
desire on his part to be a United States
senator from Nebraska is announced
Mr.. Bryan means to be seen and heard
as a delegate in the St. Louis con-
vention, and is said to have discovered
a new paramount issue. which takes
the place in his mind held by free sill
yer in 1896 and Imperialism in 1900 His
present paramount proposition is that
the government must be 'enducted by
and for the people and net the copper
ations. There Is nothing 10 quarrel
about in that statement"

WAR ON Gambling.

The war on gambling in New York
city is aggressive and successful The
district attorney has made up his
mind apparently to put stop to all
kinds of gambling that is prohibited
by law. Hence he has been raiding
the pool rooms, and, from all ac-
counts, has closed up a large num-
Der of them, and he is laying the
foundation for capturing the big gam
blers.
From the New York Legislature at
its last session, he obtained the pass
age of a bill which compels visitors
to gambling houses to testify as to
the character of the house. Judging
from the number of subpoenas issued
by him up to this time a big per-
centage of rich men of New York
were familiar with the inside OF one
of the greatest gambling houses in
the country, known as Canfield's. The
question of the constitutionality of
this law is now before the courts. The
court in which the question was first
presented held that though the law
was constitutional, it was I'M
just and inexpedient and unwise. With
that sort of a character attached to
it by the trial court, it wouldn't be
surprising if the higher court should
find grounds for condemning it,
even more severely. 1t may even de-
clare it unconstitutional. II it does
it is probable that Garfield will re-
turn to New York and resume bust
ness.
The chief of police continues to
raid pool rooms. These gambling in
stitutions manage to get the news of
the races from some source since the
service of the Western Union to them
was discontinued, and the chief of
police is having some difficulty in
finding them.
But will they remain closed? That
is the important question. There is
no benefit in closing them for a few
weeks and then permitting them to
be opened. and to remain open pro-
vided they made no noise.
If such places are kept closed great
good will result, but it is doubtful if
they will be kept closed. For some
reason or other the police go to sleep
as far as gambling places are con-
cerned. just as soon as the public
ceases to talk about these places. The
only way to keep them closed is for
the chief of police to give orders to
| keep a close watch on gambling
places. And why are not such orders
given? That is a question to which
it is practically impossible to obtain
an answer
The Savannah morning news., 1904-05-26

The British admiralty is apparently
report that several hundred Russian
mines are adrift in the opeD sea off
Port Arthur, and Admiral Horsey of
the British navy has made public
spirited interview and protest on the
subject. It appears that the japanese
battleship Hatsuse struck mine ten
miles off shore and was destroyed. If
there are other mines floating about
in the open sea, evidently there is dam
ger to every ship sailing anywhere in
the vicinity whether the ship is a
man-of-war or "A merchantmen, or
flies the flag of a belligerent or neutral
power. The Sun has cable from st.
Petersburg saying in effect that the
Russians make no secret of the fact
that mines have been set adrift, and
justify themselves on the ground that
'all is fair in war" that has not been
sufficiently prohibited in the Geneva
and other conventions; and in none of
them is drifting mines mentioned. The
New York Times publishes a map of
ocean currents, accompanied by an ar
ticle written by an expert, going to
show how great menace to navigation
number of drifting mines turned
loose at Port Arthur would be. The
map indicates that the currents would
be apt to take the explosives into the
course of large neutral traffic, and
the article draws the conclusion shat
hereafter there may be ships that will
sail out from port and never be heard
from again, on account of the drifting
Russian mines. The Times article
says: ANY nation which turns ex-
plosives loose on the ocean should be
held responsible by the civilized world
for an act of folly and wicked reck-
lessness that is likely to cause dis
aster thousands of miles away"
