any similar period since 1867" The
judge is unwise, says the St. LOUIS
Globe-Demicrat. He puts q club in
the hands of the republicans with
Z which they will whack him and his
party. One of the first things that
President Cleveland did in. his second
term was to start the panic Of 1898,
which was more DESTRUCTIVE than even
the Pierce Buchanan panic Of 1857, and
nearly as disastrous as the Jackson
Van Buren, panic Of 1887. Clevelands'
panic sent the gold in the treasury

every dollar up to that mark ever
since, in spite Of all the democratic
attempts to repeal the gold resumption
law, to establish the silver standard
and to pay the nations creditors ii
dollars worth half or less than half Of
their face value. ~ s53sgS 3 55S
Cleveland's panic OF 1898, which
lasted until the republicans returned
to power in 1897, had for one Of its
first effects the closing OF mills ali

and business houses Of ali sorts and
the general dislocation OF industry. Ii

Minister Conger or Senator Trewin,

Capt. j. r. Merry, assistant General
Passenger Agent of the Illinois Central
railroad, who spends much time in
the south during the winter months.
in the interest of his road, and there
fore has unusual opportunity for OBJ
servation, states that the labor ques-
tion has become serious one in the
south. Not all of the cotton grown
in Mississippi the present season Will
be picked because of the lack of labor.
II is not that there is decrease in
the number of negroes, but for two
other reasons. In the first place, there
has been such rapid development in
the south, both agriculturally and in
dustrially. that more help than ever
before is required in that territory.
The second reason is a lamentable one.
The young negroes are leaving the
plantations and going into the towns
to an extent that is noticeable as one
passes through the cotton districts of
Mississippi. The help in the fields
consist largely of middle-aged and
old men and women, and children.
The young men are not there. And
because of this Captain Merry gave il
as his opinion that it will not be
many years before white labor pre-
dominates throughout the south.
