was recaptnred by a French aud Indian
force from Peoria, who paroled the gar
rison and burned the place, but it was
again occupied by the British, and then
came the Spaniards.
The Spanish governor of Louisiana,
Galvez, at the close OF the revolutionary
war, having captured British posts along
the Mississippi and the gulf, turned his
eyes toward the lakes. To secure foot
hold there, an expedition of 50 Spanish
militia and 90 Indians left st. Louis
under Captain Don Eugenio PURGE,
crossed Illinois, captured the fort and a
few British soldiers and holsted the flag
of Spain on Michigan soil in l78l-more
than a century after the advent of the
French Jesuit, Father Allouez. The
Spsniards, however, abandoned the place
after few days occupation, and re-
turned to st. Louis; and that was the
end of Fort ST. Joseph. The site is now
a beautiful and fruitful field in the third
ward of Niles, where abundant relics Of
its ancient and checkered military his
tory have been found. 1t is remarkable
that no Michigan history records this
Spanish occupation, but the fact is
abundantly established.

Our efforts in these columns has
been chiefly directed towards check
ing, if possible, the increase of acre
age by silly farmers in cotton; we
have not thought it necessary to give
any advice here to the farmers now
holding their cotton. These are men
of business, and are usually men with
sufficient grit, pluck and financial
backing to carry their points and
know what they are about. The cot
ton holders that now have this mat
ter in hand are about as good finan-
ciers, and have about as much col
lateral and backing behind them as
the bear element have. Cotton holders
know now that about all the scary
holders have been shaken out, and
that the cotton bear is now up against
the real solid stuff. Spot holders are
well aware of the fact that tho spin
ncr has got to have about all the cot
ton before the next crop comes in, and
it matters not whether the next crop
will be small or q large crop. The
thing is this, the mills must run or
the walking mobs that are parading
the streets of the foreign manufact-
uring cities calling for work or
bread will wage riot. Stopping the
mills under such condition would be
equivalent to striking match in a
powder house. Hold your holt. boys.
and make them come over!

Will Oppose Parcels Post.

minneapolis, Minn., March 20.--
The annual convention of the Nation
al Retail Hardware Dealers Associa-
ton opens here today. The attend
ance is unusually large and every
state and territory is we'll represent
ed. The convention will last three
days. 1t is expected that the conven-
ton will renew its campaign against
the parcels post proposition and will
adopt strong resolutions i'll opposition
to it. On the other hand the conven-
ton will undoubtedly favor a reduc-
ton in the rate on first class mail
matter from two cents to one cent for
each ounce. The delegates will argue
that the reduction Of tho rate on first
clnss mail matter will be of greater
benefit to the public in general, while
the parcels post would involve great
cost to the government and would
benefit mail order houses to the dis
advantage OF the small retailers.

IRON Export Records Broken.

Pittsburg, Pa, March 20.The ex-
ports from the United States of iron
and stock manufactures during the
month of February broke all previous
monthly records. Almost 14,500 tons
of wire, nails and iron pipe were ship
ped abroad last month through New
York and other Eastern seaboard
points, the largest consignments ever
made to foreign countries in any one
month in the history of the trade.
The shipments Of steel rails and bill
lets were exceptionally heavy, aggrc-
eating a shade under $4,000 tons. In
addition to these huge shipments, big
lots went overland to the Pacific
coast for export to the far East and
considerable quantities were also
sent from Southern ports. ".N
Besides reaching the high water
mark, the February exports were in
teresting because of the fact that the
port of New York handled more than
the combined shipments made through
Philadelphia and Baltimore. These
ports, especially Baltimore, have pre-
viously taken care Of the bulk of the
shipments made to foreign countries
from the Atlantic coast. New York
shipped nearly 10000 tons out Of the
$4,000 or more tons exported last
month. Another feature of the Feb
ruary shipments was the large con-
signments which went forward to
South America, hitherto stronghold
Of the German and British iron and
steel manufacturers. The steel rail
exports represented 26,9lS tons. II. :
1872 tons went to the Argentine Re-
public, while 7,446 tons went to Bra
zil. To Japan 2,90S tons were ship
ped.

The Signs of the Times.

If we are not badly deceived in the
signs Of the times, farmers that do
not heed the warnings Of the Farm
rrs' Union and plant more food crops
now. they will be running around next

how I" buy 500 u ton pcavinr hay and
81 90 a bushcl corn with & cents cot
ton.
Our big supply men and mule men,
too, had better butt in this thing at
once alon" with the Farmers Union
in their efforts to induce farmers to
plant more food crops and less cot
ton, or the game next winter will be
nip and tuck between these men and
the buzzards as to who will get the
most revenue out Of this mule mort
gage business.
a good deal is being said recently
about live stock associations in each
Of the counties Of the state. which will
be a good thing if onr farmers will
take to them, and instead Of brag-
ging about selling peavinc hay and
other food crops they will raise and
feed more stock and take care of the
manure, they need not he howling any
longer about the %uano trust
Our Farmers Unions should take
to this live stock i"ca like Young
ducks take to water: it is the natural
thing to lu and right alnn" the
straight road to the permanent build
ing up Of the up-to-datc progressive
idea Of the independent farmer of the
south.
All our Farmers Unions should be
each in itself Il good live stock associ-
alton, and talk more about raising
more and better stock and talk less
about raising more cotton.

No Government Armor Plant.

Washington, D. c., March 20.--No
action will be taken in the Navy De-
pnrtment toward the preparation OF
II report on the cost Of ormor plate
production. This information was
called forth at the last session of
congress-, but nothing was said in the
Naval Appropriation Bill Of the date
when this report should be presented.
1t would require several months to
make an exhaustive and complete
study of the armor plate situation as
it is today although probably q board
of investigation would be aided to
some extent by the report on the same
question compiled several years ago.
It is evident that no stops will be
taken this year, at any rate, toward
tho establishment Of a government
plant for tho manufacture Of armor,
and most officers believe that with
the policy of economy that now pre-
walls and is likely to prevail in the
increase Of the navy it will not be
deemed profitable for tho government
to embatk in the production Of armor,
especially at the current prices, which
are considered reasonable Some Of
the officers of the navy are in favor
Of a government armor plate factory,

How About This?

Some Of our South Carolina Far
mcrs' Unions have been trying to
make Il deal with the Unions in the
grain growing West for their grain,
but neither the grain growers nor Che
cotton growers have been able to get
ears to ship the corn. We are told
that corn has been offered there from
80 cents to 36 cents per bushel, and
thousands OBJ bushels have been piled
on the ground there rotting while
cotton farmers in South Carolina arc
paying Is cents to so cents for their
corn when they can get it. It seems
that the grain elevator men and the
r. Il. men get about as much out of
the western crop rs the corn growers
get, while South Carolina cotton far
mers foot the bills for the whole push
Now, this is not a matter to be set
tied altogether by congress or the
courts, for the reason that you cannot
legislate common horse sense into
cotton farmers heads, nor drive the
hog and hominy doctrine down their
throats unless some other fellow
grows the hog and hominy.
Our way ont Of this thing is tc
grow your own food stuffs. 1t mat

are trying to induce all cotton grow
ers to reduce their acreage to keep
down over production and consequent
to the whole southern cotton states,
some schemish European cotton bears
send out their threats through our
newspapers that if we don't grow q
big surplus Of cotton at ruinous prices
to the growers that they will get Af-
riea to do ittfor us. .:E..
The first round in the papers this
time about this African cotton grow
ing bluff was sent ont by a German
official, and later followed by a
French official, who claims to have
grown and delivered cotton in Harve,
France, at the astonishing low price
of ; Id cents per pound. Now, we
have all along had the opinion that
Wall Street cotton bears were the
biggest liars this side of hadcs, but
we now give all the cake, pie and crust
to France.
There was IL time when this kind OF
talk perhaps had some weight in in
/ ilucncing cotton growers to push in
more cotton in order to keep their
trade with these foreign spinners, but
the up-to-date cotton planter of to-
day is we'll aware of the fact that
these English, German, French and
Russian spinncrs have all been send
ing down south for our implements,
seed and southern men to grow cotton
in Africa at times for about 40 years;
but all efforts along this line have
proved to be about rs practical as
it is to import monkeys here from
Africa to pick out our cotton. In fact
the two propositions are about on
par rs to their practicability, for it
takes two men to mind one monkey
while he is picking cotton, and it u.s.
ually takes two Of our southern cot
ton growers to mind one of those ma
tive African negroes while he is grow
ing the cotton and keep him at it.
When we come to reason this thing
over in our minds, We are confident
that we have a large number of tame
negroes here about among our pro-
@ressivc cotton farmers that would
never do a days work if they could
keep from starving and freezing with
out it,
There is no necessity for negroes to
work in Africa for food and clothing,
and it is against their nature to do it
here as we'll as there. We have some
white men here that have the same
disease
All this talk about competition with
American cotton is rot and out Of date
here. where we know that the south
has the ideal cotton belt of the world,
and week now how to grow cotton ana
are learning how to manufacture cot
ton, and still more we have learned to
count the cost of production of cot
ton, and how to demand a fair profit
upon our products and we arc going
to have it.

If the deal goes through all right it will probably take the electric lighting plants of the company with 1t so that Waterbury has more interest in the transaction than one might suppose at first sight, inasmuch as 1t intends to go into the business of manufacturing electricity some time and ill case the steam road gets control of the trolley the tilt will he with the Consolidated road rather than with the U.
