METHODS OF COTTON GROWING.

The Manchester Guardian publishes
the views of a Mr.. Orr who visited the
south as one of the commissioners of
the Lancashire cotton spinners. Mr..
Orr is very uncomplimentary SO tar as
b handling and the marketing of the
cotton crop is concerned. He says the
cotton growers, are in a great measure,
Gin the bondage of Protection, and the
formation of trust after trust tends to
keep them there" Unfortunately, there
is more truth than poetry in Mr.. Orr's
statements.
In order to furnish an object lesson to
the South Mr.. Orr and his associates
propose to do a little cotton growing
themselves here in America. They
have selected some large plantations in
Mississippi and Louisiana, and there
they will proceed to grow, bale and
market the staple in accordance with
"~up-to-date methods"
All right, let them come On, and the
bigger the object lesson the better.
Others have tried to how the Southern
farmer how to grow cotton. Others
have come here filled with an egotism
not unlike that which IS crowded into
Mr.. Orr's Uranium, but the results have
been nil. The Southern farmer knows
a thing or two about cotton growing
himself. But never mind about that
MIR. Orr. Come right along, n es
tablish your "~up-to-date methods
You may not make much money, bu'
an object lesson should not be highly
commercial. It is supposed to have
philanthropic side, and that is just wha
Mr.. .Orr's scheme should be equipped
with. Heshould not expect to earn ant
declare large dividends. He should bt
content to become a teacher n a leade
and an up-to-dates. That will be glor.
enough. Come right on.

THE SCIENCE OF CIRCUMSTANCES.

t'The whirligig of time is certainly
working his revenges. When we find
Mr.. Culberson, one of the ablest Demo-
Gratis in the Senate, defending a Re-
publican President from the attacks of
Mr.. Foraker, one of the ablest and bit
terest Republicans in the whole coun-
try, we are reminded of the old saw,
"Politics, like misery, makes strange
bed-fellows,"
The phenomenon, however, is moth
ing new under the sum-" James c..
Southall, of the Charlottesville Chron-
icle, was, perhaps, the most brilliant
and best equipped editor that Virginia
has produced since John NJ. Daniel, of
the Richmond Examiner. Southall
used to say that politics was the science
of circumstances and the history of
the country bears him out in the state
ment.
In the old Continental congress-, JEFF
ferson and the elder Adams were warm
friends and hearty co-workers. They
were both strong advocates of the indie
pendence of the colonies, and they were
both on the committee to draft the
Declaration of Independence. Jefferson
wrote it, and Adams argued it through
Congress.
A. few years later we find Adams
leading the federalists, and Jefferson
the states right men. After each had
defeated the other in competing for the
presidency they became estranged and
all communication between them ceased
for many years. And yet Jefferson
vigorously and successfully defended
his antagonist from the charge Of being
a monarchist at heart.
Again, when the federalists were
burning blue lights on the coast Of
New England to warn British men-of-
war that American vessels were about
to leave port, job Quincy Adams, a
born federalist, was ~denouncing his
own people for their unpatriotic course
and powerfully defended Jefferson's
administration. Even the embargo
could not deter him, though all New
England was bowling over il. One of
the most powerful papers that ever
issued from the state department was
j. @. Adams defence of Andrew Jack
sons conduct in Florida when Adams
was secretary of state under Monroe.
When General Malone turned repub-
1ican, put the state of Virginia into his
pocket and was dealing out the offices
to his henchmen, the science of cir
cumstances'' again came to the front,
and men who had been fighting each
other all their lives were brought and
held together in solid phalanx by what
MI. Calhoun used to call 'the cohesive
power Of public plumber
The miscellaneous and motley crew
aroused the wrath of Tom Wallace, a
stump speaker of the day who accounts
Tor the facts by telling this anecdote:
A gentleman was riding by the side
Of a deep river in which two boys were
fishing. One OF them lost his balance
and fell into the stream. The other
promptly shucked off his jacket, leaped
in boldly, and after herculean exertions
succeeding in landing his half-drown-
ed comrade. Stirred by the heroism OF
the youthful disciple of Izaak Walton
the gentleman asked, "Is that boy your
brother?'' "No,'' said the hero indif-
ferently. "Ain't no kin to me-" "Then
why did you struggle so hard and risk
your lite so as to save him?' Cause
: he had all the bait"

There is not much evidence in these
figures that race suicide is affecting
the country's chief city. Taking that
city as an entirety, it is all right in
the respects of marriages and births,
but recent Investigations show that
New York's birth rate is nigh in the
tenement districts only, among the
poor, among those who are accustomed
to hardships and to scant living. Child
rem are not numerous on Fifth avenue
or in streets occupied by the wealthy,
and even among the well-to-do there is
a tendency in that direction. A scientist
thus explains the matter:
A exposed tree, growing on infer
tile soil, is covered with seed, whereas
a thriving tree, growing in a fertile
soil and in a sheltered locality, bears
very little. The breeder who, to i'm
prove his stock, must keep them in
great comfort and abundance of food,
finds his greatest difficulty in their
tendency to sterility. Seeing, then,
that this law of fertility governs not
only the animal, but also the vegetable
kingdom, may we not safely conclude
that human volition has little to. do
with the birth rate, and also hold that
the birth rate of a nation is inversely
proportional to the well being Of it's
people ?"
This theory holds good in Europe,
n nfn tho birth 70 70 Ic tho hi~hnct in
unhappy Russia land lowest among the
contented people of France. It is de-
creasing in all European countries ex-
cept Russia, and in Russia the average
degree Of comfort, wealth and we'll
being is exceptionally low, land it is not
improving. But the birth rate in Rus
STA is high
Speaking Of the big birth rate in New
DIRK, the New York World gives the
Health Commissioner as saying thai
Prosperity and Roosevelt were re-
sponsible for the boom in births and
marriages." to which the Charlotte
Observer, in its issue of yesterday
somewhat excerpts, saying:
1--WE don't believe any of the praise
should be given to prosperity, which
has SO increased the cost of living in
towns and cities as doubtless to hinder
more marriages than it fosters. 1t is
quite possible, however, that to The
presidential race suicide preachments
the good showing is largely due. If so,

not know it. Everybody has. OF
course, reckoned by actual measure
ments, each hour is composed of sixty
minutes, yet Notwithstanding that
chronological exactness the hours vary
In length. My shortest hour is from
2 to 3 In the afternoon. find upon
inquiry that 1t Is the feetest period
for many people. In my case so swift

that try to crowd into them as many
OF the disagreeable, yet inevitable
things of life, as / possible can. If
have to interview a bore | see him

do 1t then. That hour is bound to slip
away quickly, no matter what happens
therefore the agony of disagreeable
scenes seems of shorter duration"
