POLITICAL DRIFT.


Tammany fears that the protest against

Speaking OF whirlwind campaigns. the
mayor Of Philadelphia covered forty miles

The ghost vote so frequently mentioned
in the Philadelphia campaign doubtless

Dr. Edward F. Brush, who is running In
depentiy for mayor of Mount Vernon, N
Y, has a log cabin mounted on a farm
wagon and from this addresses the voters
nightly. The novel OUTFIT is drawn by two
white mules and its coming is heralded boy
the ringing of a bell. DR.. Brush urges his
hearers to send republicans and democrats
in the council in about equal numbers, as
he does not approve of one party having
complete control
1t seems that the New York City of Ell

the republicans and democrats chose Zeb

and the republicans endorsed the demo-
cratic incumbent for a new term as re-

use of money to buy votes should be left
out of the campaign and both parties
agreed to spend no money except for cal

THE OUTLOOK FOR COTTON.

Although corn has displaced cotton as
king, the importance of the sOuths
staple product as a contributor to the
wealth and prosperity of the country is
fully recognized. Cotton constitutes the
largest item in our exports and conse-
quently there is a great deal of interest,
abroad as we'll as in this country, re-
garding the amount OF this years crop
The indications are that it will be con-
siderably smaller than that of last year.

MERCHANT MARINE LEGISLATION.

MERCHANT MARINE LEGISLATION
whether or not the ffty-ninth con-
gress, with its large republican major
ity, will adopt legislation for the pro
motion Of an American merchant ma
rine. cannot be foretold, but very
strong effort will be made to obtain such
legislation. The Merchant Marine
league has since its organization. about
a year ago, been carrying on an active
campaign and its work, chiefly in the
eastern and middle states, has been eff
fective in stirring up public interest in
the question OF a merchant marine and
securing the support Of many influential
men in all parts of the country. II is
the intention Of the league to extend it's
efforts to the northwest, where Il expects
to arouse such sentiment for American
shipping revival as to compel, and very
greatly hasten as well, congressional leg
islation.
An Official Of this organization said
in a recent interview that he expected
to see the merchant marine commission
bill passed early in the session, and in
both branches of congress, and to be-
come a law, with President Roosevelts
signature long before midsummer next
year. Although in his last annual mes
sage the president merely commended
to the attention of congress the encour-
oOov,ort ~ o,1r MAJ. .,opf M rina he an
propriate legislation, it is expected that
he will give more consideration 20 the
question in his forthcoming message and
favor liberal policy for the promotion
Of American shipping in the ceancar-
rying trade.
The Importance of this matter in its
bearing upon the extension of our for
eign commerce is undoubtedly more gen
orally understood and appreciated now
than ever before. The fact is quite CON
clusively established that in the cOmpe-
tition for South American trade our
manufacturers and merchants have been
at a great disadvantage because com

kets in foreign ships. While the flags
Of European countries having trade with
the southern continent are numerous In
those ports, the American flag is rarely
seen there. II will be the same in re-
| gard to the Asiatic countries If nothing
is done for the upbuilding of the mer.
chant marine. 1t may be admitted that
| trade does not always follow the nag,
bnt there can be no question that q
country which can send its products to

ships under it's own flag has a better
chance of securing trade than the cOun.

about eight O'Clock Saturday even
ing. 1t bore high officials of the
road-president, vice.presidents,
directors and others.
They were out on general tour
Of inspection, and il is thought,
were also looking up some impor-
tant business matters. Among
these were, no doubt, the entrance
Of the Rock Island into Galveston.
President Winchell admitted that
his company was making an effort
70 enter that city and il is thought
that the company has in view the
purchase Of tie Texas & New
Orleans road.
The Frisco officials accompanied
the party as far as Fort Worth. 1t
was reported that they were coming
here to investigate the round house
and shop facilities with a view to
moving the Frisco division here,
but the Frisco people were called
away at Fort Worth and the pro-
posed meeting here will likely take
place later.
One Of the results Of the visit OF
the officials was that Master
Mechanic McDouough was auth
orized TO put on a full force at the
shops and work them on fulI time.
It will be remembered that the
force was recently cut down and
the number Of hours reduced.
