THAT COTTON CROP REPORT.

The feeling among many southern
people that the agricultural department
made a big mistake in it's recent report
placing the cotton crop at II, 162, 000 mas
eliminated in the introduction in the
house of representatives by Congress-
man Livingston of a resolution calling
Upon the department to forward to the
house all data upon which was based
duction of cotton. The preamble states
that there is great dissatisfaction and
lack of confidence in these department
reports, especially the last one. Mr..
Livingston declares that what he calls
the last guess" of the agricultural de-
partment has cost the people of the
south eighty million dollars. 1t is said
the chairman of the house committee on
agriculture will favor the passage of
the resolution. Speaker Cannon has not
been heard from yet, and, of course,
the agricultural department will an
tagonize the resolution.
No reports on cotton production would
be better than inaccurate ones. Wheth-
er the i~naccuracy is due to corruption,
carelessness or unavoidable errors, the
result is the ~same-great injury to the
cotton planter-and the people do not
want them If there can be no assurance
that they are correct. 1t is an open
question whether the last report was
about correct or was far away from the
truth. This cannot be as%certained until
near the close of the crop year. Mean
while, because of the contention over
the matter the cotton market is kept in
a state Of excitement and uncertainty.
1t would be a matter of qualification to
the people to know just on Via data
the agricultural department did base it's
calculations and the making of them
public would go a long way toward al
laying the uncertainty in the public
mind as to the correctness of the report.
For these reasons we think it would be
well for the Livingston resolution to
be adopted.

yIliey believe not only I'm the divine right
% their emperor to rule over them, but
also in the partial divine nature of the
emperor. 1t is hard to defeat in battle
men who believe ii a religious duty to
sacrifice their lives for their empero
and their country in front of an invad-
ing foe. and the Japanese look upon
Russian occupation of M2Echuria as
only one step removed from active in
vasion OF their homes. They are fight
ing the Russians in Manchuria to pre-
vent the next step by this grasping
power which they firmly believe will be
annexation of Korea and then sub
jugation of Japan
This Russian staff officer in the ar
ticle above referred to has this to say
regarding the courage and fighting
qualities the Japanese have demon
strated:
The japanese army is unique in
military history and probably the
in the world, combining the
strength of barbarism with civilization,
drawing from h former fanatical
bravery and scorn Of death and from
the latter the latest knowledge of the
science of war. We have been fight
ing under heavy handicaps, but have
at last definitely stopped the Japanese.
They have missed the psychological
moment. They should now be at Har-
bin, with V~ladivostock and h east
ern littoral cut off and de facto theirs
instead of wintering where they are.
The cold is Russia's ally now as it
was against Napoleon. The japanese
cannot endure extreme cold like the
Russians. They are not strong enough
to attempt to turf Mukden and will
not be even if Port Arthur falls and
$1,000 reinforcements are sen to join
Field Marshal Oyama.
I'm the meantime Russian troops are
piling up behind Mukden. In Febru-
airy General Kuropatkin will have close
upon half a million men disposed in
three armies, ample sufficient TO turn
Oyama's position at the Shakhe river
and force the Japanese back into Korea
and the Liaotung peninsula"

GOMPERS AND mitchell.

An effort was made at the recent
convention of the American Fedora
ton of Labor in San Francisco 10
make trouble for John Mitchell and
Samuel Gompers because they dinei
some time since with President Eliot
OF Harvard College That the trouble
was not serious is evidenced by the
fact that Mr.. Gompers has been al
most unanimously reelected president
of the association. Nor is the standing
of John Mitchell seriously impaired
among the real friends Of union labor.
1t is quite true that President Eliot
spoke of the ''scab' as hero, and that
the hotel at which he and the labor
leaders ate dinner is what is known
as an unfair place. However, those
facts by no means make traitors out
of Gompers and Mitchell. Too many
union men have the idea that the mis-
soin of their leaders is to fight fight.
fight They have no notion Of concil-
iation and persuasion. They look up
on all who are in any way opposed to
them or their methods as scoundrels
of the darkest dye.
If labor and capital were less sus-
picious of each other. if they could
only be made to understand that the
best interests of one are the best
interests of both. the two classes
would be very much better off. Few
labor leaders have been Of as much
real service TO the cause as GOmperS
and Mitchell They have been too
conservative to suit the radicals. but
an inspection of their record shows
that theirs is the conservatism that
produces results. Union labor would
be decidly the gamer if it had more
such leaders.

Grating for such a road would be 400

would call for $50 trains; for every
three trains Of troops add n train
Of baggage, tents, provisions en- route
and accessories. This makes eighty
three more trains. Assuming there
+ 10000 cavalry, they would occupy
625 cars, or 80 trains Of horses; 5000

pieces; a total Of $40 trains, not to
mention the freight trains Of subsist-
ence and supplies of all kinds to be
sent to Manchuria to keep the present

For the 2,000-mile haul, the engine
run would be $50 miles. This makes

road is a fair quota, 1t would allot but
