Cotton Mills in China discussed bv
Mr. j. w. Jameson. British commerciaI
attache in that country, is a subject of
unusual importance. especially to the
cotton manufacturers of the United
States, 40 per cent of whose annual ex-
portsare marketed in China. According
to the report, dated March. 1905. there
are IL establishments in China and
aongkong operated by means of steam
driven machinery, their total number of
spindles being 619,64S OF these. Q estab-
lishments, with $4,000 spindles. are To-
Gated in Shanghai alone. and one at
Hongkong, with $4,000 pindles The
spinning of cotton into yarn. saws Mr.
Jameson, n the weaving Of that warn
into cloth are industries which. while
not anterior to the manipulation of silk
u of hemp fbers, have existed in
China for over one thousand years. Car
ried on practically throughout +ha
whole empire, their great center has for
centuries been the country where cotton
IS grown to the best advantage, that is
to say. the seaboard round the month
of the Xangtze and the Hangchow Bav
and the level plains of the provinces oe
Hupei. And it is there where have baan
established the various mills for treat
ing raw cotton by e of steam-drivan
machinery. The initial experiment on
modern lines was mad in 1891, when a
semiomicial Chinese syndicate started
at Shanghai. Its originators claimed
for themselves q quasi monopoly. and
prohibited outsiders, who were not pre-
pared to pay a fixed royalty for the
privilege, from engaging in similar un-
d~ertakings. Although certain Chinese
accepted his onerous condition foreign
ers resented it as an undue interference
with their treaty rights. and it was only
when Japan. in 1895, after her war with
China, inserted in the treaty of Simon
Dseki an article providing for the free
dom Of Japanese subjects to engage in
Ru kinds of manufacturing industries
fn the open ports of China. and permit
ting them to import machinery for such
purposes, that outsiders were afforded
an opportunity of exploiting the rich
neid for commercial development there

WHY COLORADO Is DEMOCRATIC.

WHY COLOAtADO Is
TFrom the Washington Post-l
1t VIII be observed that Colorado IS
intensely Democratic this spring. It is
natural. The Republicans Of that state
were guilty Of numerous outrages the
past twelvemonth, and n spring cleo
lions are the response the people give
to Governor Peabody's administration,
Sheriff Bells methods, ana the Repub-
lcan legislatures reversal Of the YER
dict OF the people at the November
election, when a man Of the name Of
Adams, a Democrat, was chosen COVER
nor. but was not allowed to serve the
people in that capacity any longer than
it took the legislature to get the ma
chinery in order to turn him out.
Therefore. Democratic victories in
Colorado this spring are perfectly nat
ural. A political party has no more
right to be dishonest than an individual
and the people will no more indorse a
dishonest party than they viii indOrse
a dishonest man. Governor Adams re-
tired with dignity. He was deposed by
the forms of law. Nor did the Repub-
leans do this without shame; and
where there is shame in ms or in wo-
man, or in party, there is hope, and
there is life-there is marrow in the
bone, there is sap in the tree. Con-
scious that they were doing outrage, the
Republicans went through the motion
of buying indulgence to commit it-at
least it savored Of that, or, rather, it
was a sort of atonement. They inaugu-
rated their man, whom the people had
beaten, but they had his obligation,
signed, sealed, delivered. and acknow-
lodged, to resign within q hours. and
he did. They now have a governor
whom the people V chose, who did
not want the office, and who took it
upon himself solely in order that the
state might have an administration,
and even the Democrats agree that no
blame can attach to Lieutenant Cover
nor Mcdonald for the outrages Of his
party in thrusting the Office Of COVER
nor upon him.
The Democrats of Colorado. and es-
pecially Governor Adams. are to be
commended for the moderation of their
conduct in the trial through which they
ave just passed. They submitted to
the forms of law, and already they are
reaping reward. If they Shall be wise,
and continue to be moderate, and re-
member 20 practice the honesty that is
the best policy for a party as it is for
a man, they will have abundant ON
peusation for what they have lost, and
it viii be singular if they do not get
control of the state government. retain
the two senatorships in congress, and
regain the three seats in the national
house of representatives. It would be
we'll enough to teach both parties that
an election is not a good thing to steal.
Had Governor Taylor, of Kentucky.
and the Republicans of a state done.
in 1900, as Governor Adams, of Colorado,
and the Democrats of that state did the
past winter, one of the most shameful
chapters in American history would not
have been recorded.
It is better that the forms of law be
respected than that murder should be

A girl never underestimate the i'm

When a man retires from business to

There is something about a woman's

You can always convince a woman
that it is more becoming for her to wear

be for anybody else.
