Reports which reached this coun try several weeks ago in regard to the cultivation of cotton in Togo, West Africa, under the direction of the German Economic Society of Berlin, were of such a favorable character that it was* thought by some that it would not be many years before the amount of cotton produced in that part of the world would be sufficiently large to have a marked effect on the prices of cot ton. The report sent out by the so ciety, a synopsis of which was pub lished in our dispatches yesterday, is calculated to make an altogether different impression. „ The experiment at Togo is being conducted by students from Booker Washington’s school at Tuskeege, Ala. It is probable that they uu derstaud the cultivation of the plant, but it may be that they do not know how to conduct the ex periment economically. If they do, it is a safe assertion that it will be long while before West Africa will come into competion with the United States in the cultivation of cotton. Notwithstanding the cheap ness of labor there it costg more to produce cotton than it does in this country-a great deal more And what seemB strange is that there should be need of fertilizers. The virgin soil, it would seem, ought to be rich enough to return a big yield of cotton, It may bo, however, that the soil lacks some particular thing necessary for the successful cultivation of cotton, and . which it can get from thekipd of commercial fertilizer that is used on* cotton lands in this country. The olimate does not seem to be well suited to cotton. According to the report the first planting was ruined by heavy rains. Still, it will take several years to determine sat isfactorily whether West Africa is likely to become a great cotton pro ducing country. From advices thus far received there does not seem to be any reason why there should be tho least uneasiness in this country respecting the experiment that is being made at Togo. TheUnii-d States will continue to be the gr.mt source of the world’s cotton supply. Secretary of the Interior Hitch cock continues to assure the Presi dent of his loyalty to tho adminis tration and that he will not resign, notwithstanding the rumors that are appearing in the papers. It is said the President is becoming very muoh oppressed by this excessive loyalty, in view of the faot that he wants the office for somebody else. The President is about in the posi tion of the little boy who couldn’t drive the dog away after he bad tied a giant cracker to . its tail.—Savan nah News. Miss Mary Burkhart, described as a “good-looking and wealthy young woman,”' is running for Congress in the Tenth distriot of Kentuoky, on a prohibition platform. Miss Burk hart declares that if she is elected, she will go to Washington and take her seat; in making which assertion she may be oorreot. But notioe that mountainous “if” in the way.—Sav annah News. The Philadelphia Times wants Borne authority to determine the sex of the United States; is it “she or “it’’? France, of course, is “she,” and so is Great Britain; but it would be something of an anomaly to call Uncle Sam “she.” As things have been going lately, it would proba bly be better to say “It” and spell it with a capital I. The Man They Called “Dad.” An exchange says “There is a class of men who are seldom, if ever, appreciated at their true value. In this enlightened age they are com monly called ‘Dad.’ It is dad that humps himself year in and year out, on the farm, in the office, or work shop, in order that his boy or. girl may go away to school, and upon their return, that the boy may have a fine horse and atop buggy and the girl a costly piano. It is dad that hustles and cultivates great calloused knots on his hands and becomes stoop-shouldered in order that his offspring may revel in luxu ry and make tarnal fools of them selves. His sons and daughters have learned at his expense to dis- pise his old-fashioned ways. They secretly laugh at the Btyle of his Sunday coat and bell-crowned hat. On Sunday, when his daughter has company and he would like to sit in the parlor and listen to the music, he has given in various ways to un derstand that his presence is not de sirable, and the poor, old man goes out into the kitchen and stays the remainder of the afternoon. God help the son or daughter who goes back on dad. In the catalogue of low down cussedness that of ingrat itude to one’s parents is the most contemptible.” -— r- The Other Side.

Southern people are shedding no tears on aoeount of the treatment which General Miles is receiving at, the hands of the administration. While they can and do see the injus tice of reprimanding or retiring an officer of the army for having given expert testimony before a commit tee of the senate, they, in a great measure, lose sight of these facts when they remember that that army officer is Nelson Alexander Miles. The southern people have not and never will forget Miles, for he once committed an act which will always oause him to be regarded with aver sion by all southern people. When at Fortress Monroe he needlessly placed shackles upon the limbs of Jefferson Davis and jeered at his sorrowing wife, he conlnaitted aa unpardonable crime against the peo ple of the south. He had no occa sion and no excuse to so, humilitate the south’s chief and his own humil iation at present is but a j;ust retri bution.—Columbus Enquirer Sun. Some days ago we reproduced a clipping from a Philadelphia paper on food adulteration in which tlm statement was made that, even hon ey in the comb was being imitated.

One is that com merce with Germany has grown from $30,000,000 in 1865 to $300,- 000,000 in 1901. This is second only to our commerce with the Uni ted Kingdom.
