Rhode Island.
Saws the New York Tribune:


According to press dispatches the Rhode
Island democratic platform protests against
the subornation of Rhode Island interests
by her republican representatives in both
houses of Congress to the demands OF the
middle west Evidently the Rhode Island
platform was made without the aid of
dictionary.
And made quite as evidently without
knowledge or care of what the middle west
and the west think of Rhode Islands part
in the tariff game in Congress. Those sec
lions and other sections have long been
tired OF having their interests subordinated
to little Rhody's interests. They have noted
with growing impotence the power of Mr..
Aldrich in the Senate In blocking all legts-
lation which did not conform to his views
and Mr. Wolcott of Colorado once declared
that the petty Yankee notions represented
by the eastern senators almost shaped tariff
bills The Rhode Island democrats are either
a dron lot, or else in desperate straits for a
campaign issue.

Cotton.

European cotton spinners are insistent
upon expansion of the cotton-producing
farea. They would increase the cotton area
not solely with the expectation of cheap
ening the price of cotton, but to make pro-
vision for the future that the production
of cotton may keep pace with the increas-
ing consumption of 1t. They would turn
other lands into cotton fields that the world
may be not so dependent, as at present,
upon the fields of our cotton states, to the
end that the ton-manufacturing indus
try may not be so easily thrown out of
joint by crop failure or speculation. They
are looking to greater stability in cotton
production. Efforts are making, with a
greater or less degree of success. to stimu-
late cotton growing in the West Indies and
In Africa.
According to the London Financial Times
of late date: "a reception was held at the
Imperial Institute, London, by the West
India Company, with the object of giving
It's members and their friends an oppor-
tunity of inspecting the exhibition illustrat-
ing British cotton cultivation and the COM
mercial uses of cotton. and of quickening
public interest In the movement for grow
ing cotton In British possessions which
was recently inaugurated by the British

Sir Daniel Morris. is doing what 1t can to
encourage and assist cotton culture in
British tropical and sub-tropical posses
sions. It Is the English belief that event.
ually the West Indies will be able to sup
ply the British market with sea-island cot
ton, the most valuable variety of the fiber.
1t is worthy of comment that the produc-
ton of this cotton was originally a West
Indian industry and that 1t was introduced
from the West Indies into the islands
along the southern. coast of the United
States. Cotton acreage has been increas-
ing rapidly in the British West Indies, the
acreage under cultivation in 1304-5 being
about 1900 acres. compared with 1000 in
1903 and 400 in 1902.
Little success. it Is said. has thus far at
tended the effort of the German govern
ment and English manufacturers to pro-
mote cotton culture In Africa 1t was the
German government that obtained the
service of several Tuskegee Institute grad
yates to aid it's representatives in cotton
experiments in West Africa. The expert
ments have demonstrated that the soil and
climate are adapted to cotton culture, but
the labor question and transportation prob
lem have been the stumbling blocks.

they advocate treaty which will do away

trail belt a few feet wide in its stead. There
are about fifteen Zine houses on the YER
mont border and twenty on the Maine boun-
Diary. They are built directly over the line
and do a rushing business In smuggling all
kinds of goods and selling Illicit whisky.
When Canadian officers enter one of these
