CAUSE FOR DELAY.

The Washington correspondent Of The New York Post writes that paper about the work of Carol D. Wright. head of the Bureau of Statistics, and bis reports. It will be remembered that a recent report gotten out by him has provoked much unfriendly comment, be- cause it has been openly charged and i. virtually proven that the report was doctored in favor of Republican claims. More interesting. however, is this para graph from the correspondents letter:
 The annual report on strikes which Col Wright hopes to be established, will really be an issuance at frequent and regular intervals of what now comes put at longer periods. Every allusion tn the newspapers to a strike Is prompt { ly clipped and made the subject Of an inquiry Agents of the Department 7 have been in Colorado and in Chicago as they were in the anthracite field be- fore the formal examination of the : case took place. It Is assumed to be ;, function of the bureau, by the terms of the statute, to make this first hand i'm vestigation in order that its bulletins may be complete and accurate. With current annual reports. showing the range of wages and of prices and giv- Ing a history of the labor disturbances, 1t Is felt that the statistical part of thIs
 
 Such a report, if thorough and wholly impartial, would be of vast interest In showing the effects of strikes and labor -s disturbances all over the country, but it would not be a good campaign docu- ment for the Republicans. The Bureau has been engaged for months in getting information, even sending agents to Europe, but we are not surprised at being told that. although the copy Is now in the hands of the public printer yet lon account of the rush of business at this ofice, due to the publication of speeches for the campaign. reproduced from The Congressional Record, there may be some delay in bringing 1t out. A revision of labor laws is also at the Government Printing Ofice."
 We may be mistaken, but we predict that this delay" will last till after the election. A truthful official statement of the labor troubles in nearly all sec tions of the Union would knock a big hole in the blatant Republican peace ; and prosperity claims, and would show to the country the hypocrisy of the same. After the election 1t will not matter very much.

There Is no possible use the space around the fountain could be interests of the whole people than to leave it open. No fact Is more fully recognized in civic affairs than the eco economic o7as. value sa of parks p and breath more progressive cities of the Old World and the New are seeking to ob- tain this advantage at enormous pe- cuniary expenditures, because they dividual, must have full lung power. and that to secure health and comfort for the people Is the truest economy Not the greediest of us would barter millions of Rockefeller. and 1t would be an equal act of folly to sell the breathing places of the community for a few thousand dollars to be dissi- ducing taxation for the privileged classes without any compensating ad- vantage to the masses. A happy chance SIanIe has secured to Montgomery S,nig pleSSlHB LHdI Tar WedltnleT CltleS would expend millions to obtain-an open breathing place in the heart of the business section.

A separate space could be provided elsewhere for the negro citizens.
 It Is to be hoped that the city au- thorities will never consider any prop osition looking to the alienation of this property without first submitting it to a referendum vote of the people. And trust 1t is not asking too much to suggest that women be included in a vote on such a subject. No class has more vital interest in the health fulness and beauty of the city than the women and children-the women and children of the people, who have no other playground but such as the city provides for them.

fore The original contention of Tn, Constitution was that there are ns gambling houses and no gambling in Atlanta, yet 1t tells us of five men con. victed of gambling in that city at one time. Do they arrest gamblers as they come into the city and punish them: If so. how do they convict them of gambling? If they were guilty. was not gaming going on in the city? We rather think our contemporary is claim ing too much. If 1t insists that 1t has city officials who arrest and punish gamblers. we shall not dispute with 1t, but there must be gambling going on or there could be no convictions. {

Cotton. Its Past and Future.

American Cotton Manufacturer.
 Upon heat and frost, rain and sun shine. worm and weevil. as these things affect a comparatively small patch of this mighty planet during the next few weeks. will depend whether humanity, hunger-bitten for cotton, shall, within the coming year have full meal.
 For tedious months the millions whose very livelihood is derived from the staple have been, surmising, won derng and guessing what the particu- lar thirty-two millions of acres in the Southland will this year yield of the is clothed. and the propinquity of the new crop has sharpened the avidity with which every scrap of information is devoured.
 The last monthly report of the Agri- cultural Department showing a per surprise to the trade, being the highest for September first for a decade, the average for ten years at corresponding periods has been but 73.2.
 Two things are especially impressive they are: that the condition averages some five points higher than was re- ported during 1s97-9s. the years of maximum yield, and this Is to be con- sidered in conjunction with an increase of area estimated at about 5000 900 acres.
 If government reports have any
 
 lected from private sources and pub lished for speculative purposes indi- eating a crop no larger than last sea son. are palpably unreliable.
 The hackneyed saw. that supply and demand regulate prices' would apply to cotton if spectacular market rigging were not made comparatively easy by world shortage.
 The worlds visible supply of all kinds of cotton Is now 51,00O bales, or AS per cent less than a year ago. All this reduction In stocks except 4.00O bales Is in American cotton.
 The factories of the world increase on the average so that they require 40O,000 bales more cotton each year to keep them In operation. Yet last year they took from us 664.960 bales less than the year before. The year be- fore that their takings were 790.9S2 bales more than last year, this neglects possible reduced takings from other countries. Last year the mills used not less than one million bales below their legitimate needs under ordinary conditions. yet in spite, of this we are confronted with the astounding condi- tton of diminished visible supply at the beginning of a new crop year
 Another important question introdues itself here. With an admittedly steadily increasing number of factories | and an equally certain lessened con sumption of cotton by them; have the ultimate users of the goods curtailed their ordinary purchases corresponding lN?

The Democratic Party and Hard Times


 A Republican reader of The World, Mir D. c. Mills of Bolivar N. r., asks | the following complicated but wholly legitimate question:
 | If the application of Democratic
 principles to government are so just and beneficial, kindly tell your Repub-
 lican subscribers why 1t was that the advent of every Democratic administra- ton to power since and inclusive of | Jacksons (with the single exception of | Pterce's, which was so busy trying to make slave State of Kansas that 1t | had no time to meddle with the tariff, !, always brought industrial depression, paralyzed business and worked injuri- ously to the financial interests of the lcountry."
 | This question can best be answered | by the simple statement that such sim
 ister results have not followed the ad- vent of Democratic administrations.
 since and inclusive of Jacksons." | Jacksons two administrations were
 try was fairly prosperous under Tyler, who, although elected Vice President on
 the Whig ticket, was a Democrat and broke with the 'Whig Party as soon as
 he succeeded Harrison. Good times continued through varying Democratic and Whig administrations until 1857.
 when panic followed as a natural re-
 action from the stimulation that had
 been produced by the discovery of gold
 in California.
 | The Democrats certainly could not be
 blamed for the panic of 1873, or for the | hard times that continued in 1S80 The | industrial condition of the country un- der Clevelands first administration will compare favorably with its condition
 under two previous Republican admin listrations The financial depression of | 1893 was the result largely of Republi- lean efforts to do something for sil- Iver' eliminating in the passage of the lSherman purchasing act exclusively by | Republican votes. It began while liar rlson was still in the White House and l the revival of business had begun be- | fore Cleveland left the White House. l Mir Mills cannot maintain his thesis. l He goes further even than the Chicago
 platform. which contented itself with Iasserting that
 | "A Democratic tariff has always been | followed by business diversity; a Re- lpublican tariff by business prosper Iity."
 1 There has been one Democratic tariff | in forty-three years. The greatest panic of this period followed a moder- | ate revision of the tariff "by its friends | in 1872. A Republican tariff law has | been on the statute books at the be- ginning of every other period of hard
 times since. and has remained on the | books through all but one of these pe-
 riods.
 There is only one way in which a close connection can be established be-
 tween Democratic administrations and Industrial and financial depression. That l Is to ignore the facts or to lie about | them, as the Republican platform does.

We have at times had something to say about the old Indian ball game, and how 1t was played. As a general thing the game was played with per feet good humor, except when two op- posing towns played. when there were sometimes severe fights. Lately the Indians appear to be as excitable as tn ) whites are, and a MT. Simmer tells of a game be got mixed with in the little town of Autosse, In Indian Territory
 He sayS that neither side gave the medicine men time to throw up the ball. but that the combat began as soon as the opposing sides came together, ball sticks being used for clubs. and that many on each side were vanquish d with Q. tore head. Simmer ran in as peace maker with a heavy walking stick, and came out losing blood from many veins. It was battle royal. GOV ering about half acre of ground. and the field was strewn with overcome warriors" That is almost as strenuous as some of our football games. and # the red men are not careful the pale faces will become jealous of them.

A Grievous Sin.

Col. John M CIem, chief of the quartermaster's department in the Philippines has committed a grievous sin in the estimation of some of the Republican grafters. He has turned back large sum of money to the gov ernment that had been appropriated for army expenses because 1t was not needed. He is condemned for this hon. esty; when the money could have been neatly divided, or expended in promot- ing government jobs" Col. Glenn is a rarity among Republicans, 1t must be confessed

As an evidence of the recklessness of the Republican organs. as well as of their efforts to keep their own courage up. here is The Buffalo News saying there are strong indications that Mis- souri will go for Roosevelt, with the additional assertion that "it has been Republican for years on a fair count" There is not a shadow of excuse or justification for such statement. The News might as well claim Texas for Roosevelt

Wheat In Lauderdnle.

The Florence Times last week print ed indisputable evidence that wheat can be grown even more profita ble in northern Alabama than in a large area of the stricHy wheat belt. In Lauderdale county this year the farm CTS harvested from two to three times the average yield per acre for the United States, which taking into con sideration the cost of production per acre of the two crops. affords a larger margin of profit than cotton.
