lea, India, and the Far Feast, is of an
inferior quality and cannot compete
with the cotton grown in the United
States. Notwithstanding this enor-
nous advantage, the fact still remains
that this heaven-sent boon, paradox
cal though it may seem, does not
enrich, but rather impoverishes, the
southland
This is tale of commercial inepti-
tude. Our greatest asset is our great
est humiliation. Cotton is king, but it
is a badly served monarch. Other ma
tions, by far-sighted policy, intense
activity, and commercial alertness,
have overcome the tremendous adj
vantage we have, and by beating down
the price of the raw product, and with
cheap labor on looms and machinery
for the manufacture of the finished
product, now control the markets of
the world. In the Orient, where we
once had our share Of trade, the mar
ket, to say the least, is slipping from
us. It seems almost travecty on
American business methods that Eng
lish and German manufacturers can
go on the docks at Galveston and take
our raw cotton, carry it to Europe in
subsidized ships, weave it with cheap

labor, retransport it to the United
States, pay the customs duty, and
undersell our home manufacturers.
There is something wrong here, isn't
there?
Cotton is the clothing of the I'M
counted multitudes, and even those
born to the purple depend upon cot
ton for much of their appareling.
King Cotton's dominion is mankind.
America, therefore, producing, prac-
tically alone, commodity vital to
civilized life and progress, has In
that harvest the secret Of incompar-
able wealth and power. It is not steel
or lumber, kerosene or corn, that IN
sures enduring leadership for the
United States. Vast capital and
dynamic genius have gone into the
development Of steel, yet this is tran
STORY. The scepter of steel must
ultimately slip from our grasp. The
iron-ore beds Of the Lake Superior
region are doomed. Experts have
numbered their years as less than a
generation. Lumber cannot furnish a
permanent foundation for our indus
trial preeminence. The forests are
fast vanishing. Oil has contributed
one of the leading items to our export

SENATOR TILLMAN AND THE
LAND GRANT CASE.

The speech of Senator Tillman yes
terday in reference to his connection
with the Oregon land grant case did
not get him away from the letters he
had written in the matter, photo
graphic copies Of which the President
had sent to Senator Hale, nor relieve
the situation as it was first presented
to the public, nor improve upon the
explanation he made Sunday that
when he said in his speech in Febru-
ary that he had not undertaken to
acquire any of the Oregon land he
meant that he had not contracted"
for any. The fact that he had inter
ested himself in having the grant to
the wagon road company vacated and
had negotiated for nine quarter sec
tons of the land under a speculative
ownership remains undisputed. In
his speech yesterday he indeed con-
fessed "disingenuousness" in his Sen
ate speech Of the 10Th Of February.
This is the worst statement Of the
facts that could be made about Mr.
Tillman. He has committed no crime;
he has violated no law. He has done
improperly; he has been gravely in
discreet, but he has offended no can
on of integrity. Yet his conduct in
the matter has not been characterized
by his accustomed candor, as he him
self avows, and his position is not an
enviable one. Yesterday he did not
measure up. It was not time to an
swer elimination with recrimination
and he gained nothing by making
faces at the President and by calling
him names, except in the valueless
judgment of the mob which ran over

trade, and has multiplied incredibly
the fortunes of it's managers; but Tho
oil-wells cannot disgorge their illumi-
nant forever. Besides, the Baku
fields are ready to compete. Our corn
and wheat before the end of many
decades will be consumed at home.
Argentina, central Europe, and Man
churia produce these cereals in prod
igal abundance. Even if our corn
and wheat were the world s sole suffi-
cient supply, as in the case of our
cotton, the oversee nations could dis
pense with these staples, as some of
them now do. Millions upon millions
of Mongolians have not yet developed
an appetite for anything save rice.
But all of them are clad in cotton
goods. An additional inch on the
shirts worn by the Mongolians would
mean one million bales of cotton, and
this is the market that is slipping
from us.
Cotton Makes America Supreme
Among Nations.
Thus it is cotton, and cotton alone,
that can make America permanently
unique and supreme among the ma
tons. This fact makes grotesque the

itself in effort to get into the galleries.
He is for it all, consigned there by
himself, in lower niche in intelligent
public opinion. From this encounter
with the President he energies worsted
and further weakens himself be his
announcement of purpose to return
to the charge. This means no more
than another contest in blackguard-
ism and while gaping multitude will
await the onset with eagerness, the
acknowledge of it will make the judi
cious grieve.
Meanwhile what is to be said Of this
President of ours? He makes occa-
sion Of the congressional reprimand Of
himself in the secret service matter to
lug in wholly foreign matter, to-wit:
the reports Of inspectors Of the Post
office Department rejecting on a
Senator; to forward these, uncalled
for, to Senator Hale, chairman of the
postoffice committee Of the Senate,
and to give them to the press in ad-
vance Of action on them by the Sea-
ate. The action was most extraord-
mary and could have been prompt
ed only by personal or political con
sideration. The public will not be-
lieve that the motive was political or
that any high public purpose was in
view. It was only that occasion Of
fered to even scores with an ancient
enemy, and to this level did the Presi-
dent Of the United States descend.
His victory should be small recon-
pense to him for the fact that he yet
further lowered the dignity Of his Of
flee and quickened the joy Of all con-
siderate people that but six weeks re-
main to him in the place which he
has done SO much to belittle.-Char-

A DIRE PREDICTION.

The ability of the trusts to survive
almost any amount of tariff reduction
and the probability is that most of
them are as we'll fortified as the Steel
Corporation-suggests that tariff re-
duction will not do as much as many
people have expected toward solving
the trust problem. Tariff or no tariff,
they will continue to exist. Their
profits may be cut down and they may
be forced to submit to fiercer compe-
tition for markets, all of which may
be to the public advantage, but they
will outlive their competitors and ulti-
mately become masters of the field

Why Men Wear Trousers.

No living man of this age ever de liberately chose to adopt trousers" He was forced into them and all other eccentricities of dress by woman. In the very earliest sartorial experience of every man he is swathed in a queer bundle of incoherent bandages by a woman. Later she puts him into cute little dresses so that the neighbors can't tell him from his little sister Still later she cuts off his curls and puts him into knickerbockers and he puts on Tong pants" when she gives the word and not before. That is all that man has to do or ever had to do with wearing trousers. Woman forced him into them in the first place, and now he is afraid to wear anything else for fear of making a sensation-Provi- dence Journal.

LIFE IN MEXICO.
Where They Bar tho Windows and
 Leave the Doors Open.

The City of Mexico swarms with life, siesta when you arrive and the streets are deserted of moving things though every darkened doorway possesses its own colony of slumberers who have cast themselves down where they stood to sleep away the heat laden hours when no man works. Even the very dogs slink into the shadow of the dazzling walls and loll pitifully. The tinkle of mule bells is hushed The cry of the muleteer sounds no longer. To walk through these streets with i'm perious foot, after the British fashion. seems sacrilege. One might be walk ing through city of the dead
 But the hot hours pass, the city awakens. the mules strain and plunge at the collar, the dogs prowl about be- tween the legs of those who pass, the shops are opened, the scent of garlic saturated cookery rises strongly, man. tilla shrouded faces peep from ancient casemates protected by massive iron bars, and the city of sleep becomes a city of leisurely wakefulness. You mo- tice these barred casemates particular ly. They are feature of Mexico. HOusehoders bar the windows and leave the doors unfastened, and here you have an epitome of Mexican char acter: Do nothing openly, everything on the sly, even to wOoing your lady love.
 You might spend long lifetime in the City of Mexico and still leave much unseen, there are so many fea- lures to note-the actual city life, the life beyond those jealOusly guarded windows, the life lived in the flower scented patios where cooling fountains play with musical softness. Here comes a vaQuerO riding nOnchalantly up the street. a typical product of Mexico, a cattle hand from one of the outlying ranches, a perfect fury un- try Is in him, a gentle, dreamy child when the liquor has evaporated, and yet between the two events he might have committed a dozen murders with out the slightest cOmpunctiOn. His swarthy face is alight with merry laughter. His earrings sparkle in the declining sun. The gay trappings of his magnificent horse fling back dag zling specks of color. Tn his cha parajos Chose fringed overalls which protect the speckless white riding brooches from the dust of the way), his bell buttoned jacket, his sombrero with the haft of machete protruding from his crimson sash. he might be a hero of old legend instead of com monplace cowboy.-Frank H.
