ELLrsoN COTTON F1auREs.

Mir. Ellison, of Liverpool, whether correct or Incorrect in his general con clusions, is the English authority as to European consumption of cotton. He has just issued his annual review of the cotton trade for 1905. and his fig% ures were cabled to The New York Fi- nancial Chronical. They show that the average weekly consumption of the mills in Great Britain is heavier than in any preceding year, 1t having been 7O.615 bales in 1905. or a gain of 9,sSs bales per week over 1904 and an in- crease of 3,1s2 bales per week over 1899 the previous average record of the country Continental consumption shows no change. Surplus stocks, MT. Ellison says, at all European mills at the end of the year are placed at 9e7,- 900 bales, or 27O.000 more than they stood at the opening. The Chronicle makes the following point: .'Advices received from time to time during the year indicated that the mills in Great Britain were being operated upon much more profitable basis than in many years, if not at any previous period in their history. Confirmation of those reports is found in our cable, which states that the ninety-six com panies in the oldham district exhibit an aggregate profit of 746.913 pounds in 1905 or an average of 7,7SO pounds per mill, against profit of only PTS pounds per mill in 1904 and a loss of 65s per mill in 1903. Not only did the mills. as stated. average profit of 7,7S0 pounds per mill, but all tho mills shared in it. not one showing loss
 This report of MT. Ellison Is for the year 1sO5 and not cotton year 19O4-O5. It, therefore, includes four months of the present cotton year 19o5-O6 and with such a showing of profit for the cot ton mills 1t would appear that the for eign spinners have no special cause for complaint of prices that have prevailed since September 1 of last year.

that grow along the streams, as- we'll as of other native grasses and they answered their purpose nicely. They were not as fine as some of the import ed Panamas, but they were comfort able and durable. and cost no money
 Nor is that all. for thousands of our hats were made from the straw or needles of our yellow pine, and they lasted we'll No attempt was made to bleach the straw but it was used just as 1t came from the trees. and some of the hats were not only comfortable but handsome, and lasted much better than the cheap grades of hats we buy now. The swamp grasses alluded to by The Tradesman abound in the South, and tho straw of the long leaf pine is abun- dant. Between the two sources of ma terial 1t will not be difficult for one or more factories to obtain all the sup plies they need, and we can imagine no reason why the manufacture of straw hats should not be profitable business. We depend entirely too much on other countries and sections for what we use, and this is one of the common articles which can be made at home, and made cheaper, perhaps, than we can pay for imported hats Won der who will begin hat-making in Ala bama first? :.

MIR. CLARKE ANNOUNCES.

The announcement of Hon. Richard H. Clarke, of Mobile, as candidate for the succession in case of vacancy in office of United States Senator will attract wide attention and excite fa- vorable comment in all quarters of the State. This announcement is the more interesting from the fact that The Mo- bile Herald. of Tuesday afternoon. con- tained letter. from MT. R. V. Taylor, who Is very close to Col. E. L. Russell. That letter warmly comments MT, Clarke for the Senate. Among other things Mir. Taylor says:
 Foremost among the names of those Eho can stand this test and who would grace the halls of the United States Senate, are those of Col. E. l.. Russell and the Hon R. H. Clarke.
 The life of Colonel Russell is now dedicated to the services of this eoun- ty and State, in the management of a businesss enterprise of vital import ance to our interests, and 1t is well known to his friends that he does not desire to abandon this great work for a political career.
 Mir. Taylor would not have written if he had not been authorized to an- nounce that Colonel Russell would not be candidate.
 So far three announcements for the Senatorial vacancy succession have been made:-IIon. R. H. Clarke and Hon. ". c. Fitts. of Mobile, and Hon. John B. Knox, of Anniston.
 All these gentlemen are we'll known to the people of the State. Mir. Fitts was for two terms, Attorney General of the State. Mir. Knox presided over the State Constitutional Convention in 1901, and membership in that body was the only office he ever held. MT. Clarke made & national reputation while serv- ing as a representative in Congress from the 1st district.

STRAW HATS.

Tn a recent issue of The Tradesman allusion is made to the fact that there is not straw hat factory South of Baltimore and the article says:
 This inquiry was further brought forth by the account which we found of the success that had attended the Brisbin, Australia, where the raw ma teriaI, the machinery and the labor had all to be imported, yet the plant had proven remarkably successful and a large diVident payer.
 The South is the largest consumer of straw hats on this Continent, and it is here where they should be mann- factured to the hest advantage. The BrisbIn factory embraced full line ot ladies hats and shapes as well as hats for men and boys, while the material all came from China and Japan.
 II is time, however, for the South tC eb looking at the practical side Of all that she possesses, and there are | thousands Of tons of swamp grasses around New Orlenas and other gull cities which we believe could be util- ized in hats or paper pulp or in mat ! ting. i If tn. leaf of the pine tree can be ! hieached and brought into commerce | as is being do !, 1t would seem that | somesimila r prLcess could be applied ' to these swamp grasses and make them 1 valuable, if not for hats, then for mat ! ting, for there is a good grade of mat ting now being made from grasses in | this country.
 Interest in this matter applies as well to Alabama as to auy other sect l ion of the South. for our people wear straw hats, too. and we have little doubt that tho cheaper grades could be made here as well as elsewhere Dur ing the war between the States men and boys wore straw hats CT various kinds because they could get m others. They were made of the ruAher

cetters to tbe Gditcr
The Negro ana tke Immierant.

Editor The Advertiser:
 In the Saturday edition of The Ad- vertiser appeared more than column editorial under the heading, Ihe Ne- gro and the Immigrant, that does not in my opinion reflect the views of the farmers of the black belt. The aSlta- tion of replacing the negro with white tenants is an injustice to the negro and injurious to the farmers, and I am opposed to any movement looking to that end. So far as my informa- tion extends those engaged Tn the movement live in the towns and cle1es and are not engaged in farming. do not know of a single farmer that wants Italians for tenants, nor do know of one that would exchange ne- gro for white tenants. :. thirty-two years farming in the coun- ty of Montgomery IS that the negro is the best adapted to our climate the soil, the crops we grow and. our peo~ pie They will do more work for less pay and put with more privations than any labor we could possibly get The negroes are here and here to stay and it's the duty of the white peopie and to the interest of both races to give them employment and keep them employed cannot conceive of a more fearful condition than would exist in this Southland with this negro popnIa. tion turned off the farms and without employment I am astounded that The Advertiser would advocate policy that would produce such a conditlon. wafft to call The Advertisers attention to the fact that the negroes ot the South last year produced cotton to the value of $250,000,000 and other crops will estimate at S100,000 900, aggregat- ing $350, 0,000,UO0 cannot understano now any busiAess man could favor the expul- sion of a part of our population that was produoinx crops alone to the value or S35O, ,0O0, 900, to say nothing of the val tie of their labor in industrial lines. Tine expulsion of the Moors rom Spain, history records was the beginning or the decay of that country. let us not follow in the footsteps of Spain.
 I have a large number of negro ten- ants, all of them are out<of debt. They own their mules, wagons and farming implements, and have feed suftcient TOT their stock to make this years crop. All of them have some money rom fifty to three hundred dollars. They my family. Why should l want TO exchange them for the riff raff of Eu- rope? 1 will never do it as long as retain my senses. .,
 ii is not to the interest of south ern farmers to introduce great flood of immigrants and thus increase our cotton crop to a point that will not af- ford any profit The natural increase in population inf the rural districts Is sufficient to produce as much crops as we will be able to get fair price. If the newspapers and politicians would leave the negro alone, and let those who employ them, manage them, if would to a very large extent set tie the negro problem.

THE COUNCIL AND THE STREET
 nkrtUAV

The City of Montgomery was in ex- istence long before there was such an organization as the Montgomery Street Railway or the Traction Company. The public streets from date of City char ter have belonged to the City and been subject to the action of the City Coun- cii It was never intended that the streets should be given up for the exclusive use of any freight or passenger transportation line. It was never intended that any corporation should secure the right to use the streets except by law regularly enacted by the City Government.
 That the City Councils in the past have been remiss in giving up fran
 chises will hardly be questioned That. however, is a matter of tho past, and need not now be considered. 1T any individuals or corporations have secur- ed benefits through this too liberal conduct they arc entitled to enjoy such benefits. It rests with the city au- thorities whether in the future valu- able rights and franchises are to be granted corporations or individuals without compensation to the city.
 A number of gentlemen owning the | Traction Street railroad purchased the Montgomery Street Railway. As soon as the purchase was made, it was given out and generally understood that the Traction Company was the owner of both roads. It is too late, in our opinion, for the Traction Com pany, under the plea of separate own erships, to get around the condition in it's charter of taking up the third rail on, Dexter Avenue when there was a community of interest. At any rate we hope the city will make every ef- fort to have the claim tested and as speedily as possible There is no need for more than two tracks and We well remember that at the time the Traction Company applied for the right to lay it's tracks on Dexter Avenue The Adj vertiser opposed it on the ground that the Traction Company could force the use of the Montgomery Street car line | on Dexter Avenue.
 NOW tHG oWhCAS OA NhS wv | railways, as they call themselves, but the Traction Company in public esti-
 nation, ask the great privilege of unit l ing the two lines, and wish to do so without any compensation to the city
 The City Council is willing to grant the
 privilege and on conditions which are -fair and just The conditions are not
 acceptable to the owners and thus the
 matter stands. It may be inconvenient
 Ito the public not to have the tracks
 so joined as to admit of easy transfers i and of arranging different schedules, but it is better to submit to some in- | conveniences for while, than l to give up for nothing the
 further use of the streets of
 Montgomery. The City of Montgomery
 is just beginning to grow and the
 street car franchises already granted
 will be worth millions to the owners,
 The city should not be expected to
 give away everything under the H. | lusiye cry of nrogress

A Prophetic Novel.

AOn0On Mdlf.
 A discovery of romantic literary in- terest has been made by A. T. Angel in British East Africa.
 While engaged in the survey of Lake Naivasha and it's caves he found the hitherto unknown outlet of this fresh water lake into a large subterranean river. Lake Najyasha lies about 100 miles east of Lake Victoria Nyanza, and Is at an altitude of 5000 feet. Readers of Rider Haggard's story. Allan Quatermain." will at opce reeog- nize the locality. Naivasha is the lake with the marvellous caves which is de- scribed in the chapters which narrate the hero's plunge into the unknown in search for the mysterious white race. The gruesome incident by which the caves were discovered will be remem- bered--how the native servant Wakafi dived into the lake and was Sucked with frightful rapidity" through the arch that gave entrance to the mysteri- ous river. and how his corpse followed the canoe throughout its subterranean passage.
 "Allan Quatermain" was published sixteen years ago and MT Haggard then offered in romance the solution of the lake outlet, which is now substantiated by fact.

THE TWO EXTREMES.

A great deal depends on the point ot view in most affairs of life. One may become so accustomed to certain habits, conditions and environment as to look on all who differ from his view with disfavor. For example, an En- glish statesman has declared that pro lection is immortality" That IS his view. For a long while England has been practically a free trade country so much so that 1t is always spoken of as free trade England. Tho statesman in question is satisfied that protection is not only wrong but un- necessary, and when he looks on some of the results of the protective tarih in this country he may well call it immortality. If he had called 1t ras- cality he would not have been far wrong, for many of it's ways and re- suits are the reverse of honesty or fairness, and liberal Englishman who studies our tarfff system, sees the bur densome injustice of much~of 1t, notes how many great fortunes are built up bv and through its operation, and at the expense of the people-in short, if an Englishman gets to fully under stand what protection is in this coun- try and what it leads to, he might be pardoned for applying much harsher name to it than our statesman did.
 On the other hand, take a thick and thin protectionist as the statesman we have quoted evidently, is not, and he must take directly opposite view. He is evidently "ln" when it comes to monop- oly. No doubt he has benefited large tv ,hv Drotection, financially or politic ally and probably both. If not inter- ested in some infant industry which yields him large profits by imposing burdens on consumers, he probably has il protection constituency which makes him a continuing statesman. Thus, if our present burdensome system doesn't nut money directly into his pockets 1t puts him in good fat office and keeps him there To such a man free trade may well seem a crime for it would take his profits and perhaps his office. Looking at 1t entirely from his own selfish standpoint he can hardly say anything too severe of 1t.
 And yet, to certain extent both Of them may not be altogether wrong. A certain kind of free trade and a cer- tain degree of protection may be for the best Absolute free trade is im- nossible in the United States. and we suppose our protective system would be impossible In England. So the En- glish statesman thinks protection is immortality because he sees the evils of it, and the American thinks free trade a crime because our government could not Y 'e under 1t. Both the crit ics are ri. 1t from their own view points, and both wrong fin speaking without qualifications.

 Washington Correspondence to New
 York Evening Post.
 others than those curious and inter- esting persons whose minds are ar ranged like card Indexes are aware of the necessity from time to time of tab uiating for contemporary reviews. in the order of their merit, the objects of the Presidents political affections. MT. Roosevelt Is very Turk, say some of his critics, In the .celerity with which the petted darlings of one day become candidates for the bowstrings on an- other. Therefore it sis, that the recital which comes hottest off the griddle is the most accurate. In the order of precedence, the present public pro- posals that snuggle closest to the Ex- ecutive's heart in these days of legis- iative turmoil, 'excusions. forays and alarms" are: the Isthmian Canal, rail- road rate Legislation, the Philippine tariff bill, the Santo Domingo treaty, and joint Statehood for Oklahoma and the Indian Territory. and for Arizona and New Mexico.
 The first named three the President Is confident that he will save from political bandits who lie in wait for Administration wanderlings. That brunette of uncertain lineage. the san to Domingo treaty, he hopes to rescue from the rack of the Senatef Foreign Relations Committee before life is en- tire1y extinct. Touching statehood, of which MT. Roosevelt entered the lists as the ayowed champion appar- entity because of his general dlsincli- nation to kep out of any fight that might start, he is willing to admit doubt as to the outcome. This esti- mate of the casualties and probable re- suits is made while facing the enemy, and in the heat of the fray. Of that distressed lady. tarin revision. whose gallant knight the President so nearly became. more careful account ia to be given presently. Despite all oposition. the daily criticisms. and the almost hourly as- saults on his policies, Mir Roosevelt today is supremeIy confident that his management of affairs at Panama will be upheld, that he will get In large measure such railroad rate Legislation as he desires, and that the Philippine tariff bill will come to him in its pres- ent form for signature. Competent outside observers are of the opinion that Mir. Roosevelt has either made heavy drafts on his large stock of op- | timism, or, else. Is the possessor of in- formation that others have not been able to secure. The political atmos- | phere of Washington has been sur charged with trouble to come. All the week through the Administration has been the subject of attack in House | and in Senate. The insurgents on the Statehood measure openly have flonted the Presidents expressed desires in the matter of the form this Legislation should take. Tn the Senate he has been attacked as perhaps no other President has been pressed before. Aside from these personal slings which have moi l had the intended effect. there have come darts from Republican Senators aimed at the target of Presidential l measures.
