The last legislature failed to enact registration law. The next should not be thus derelict. Perhaps the last did not have time. Jbkk Black thinks Judge Field would make a good democratic candi date in 1884. The old man’s ideas are worth considering. Each side is accusing the other oi carrying on the campaign in bad temper Both are right—in the con elusion—but wrong to the temper.

The people ot Alaska torture those who are supposed to be guilty of JUDGE EE WIN FOR CONGRESS. The democracy of the Ninth Biss trict most prepare for a hot fight this fall. The independents,or liberals,are going to have the votes of the repub licans, and the support of the federal government. The democrats will have to conduct the campaign in the most vigorous manner, and will have to put forward their beet man aa their candidate. More depends upon \ the candidate than npon any one thijg. He onght to be a man fresh from people, untainted with chicanery, unconnected with nng-work in previous campaign. Such a man is gentleman whom we have named the caption of this article. A jurist ot unquestioned ability ai integrity, Alexander S. Erwin com mands the respect alike of friends and opponents. A soldier in the late war, he showed his devotion to the south and his love of liberty by shedding his blood in their defense. Since the war he has followed peaceful voca tions, and in all things has demeaned himself as became a patriotic citizen, His repntation is tree from reproach, and his record, public and private, is absolutely unimpeachable. Such a man’the democracy of the Ninth district needs and must have. Without any implied disparagement of other eminent gentlemen whose names may be mentioned in the con nection, the Banner is decidedly in favor of Judge Erwin. He has said that he does not desire the notuina tion. He doubtless finds bis present position on the bench more congenial to his taste; and it certainly carries with it as much honor, responsibility and opportunity for doing good, as that of representative in congress. But while we have regard for his preference, and respect his modesty, we feel it to be our right, as a public journalist, to call attention to his merits and to express onr pre<Vi mice for him for congress. If .i..dilion to what we have said, » e firmly believe he will make the best race of any man in the district. It is not out of place to say here, that we have recently had occasion to talk with a number ot intelligent gentlemen ontside of the district, and it is noteworthy how generally the opinion was expressed that Jndge Er win is the best man to make the race.

Salt Lake Tribune. A few days before l the legislature met, a large cnte-looking, sandy.hair* ed man reached Zion and put up at the Walker house. He took spa- cions parlors, had plenty of money, and his mission was a mystery. Yes. terday a Tribune man, thinking there might be tood for an interview in the stranger, sent in his card. He was asked up, and on reaching the room found the man considerably absorbed in doing nothing. - ‘Might I ask you sir,’ said the re- porter, ‘what y6ur business is in the city?’ *Of course, of coarse, you may; but to tell the truth I will hardly he able to answer you. I came here ou some mighty big business, but by Jove, I find I haven’t anything here specially o do. You see, continued the man. I’m a lobbyist by profesrion, or what hey call in the west a ‘promoter.’ I ttend the legislative sessions, and tive rhe members advice and assist ance relative to their duties. You tee, now men don’t always know what to do, and they lean on me for advice,’ and here the man gave a knowing chuckle. ‘Can’t you practice your profession here?’ aaked the reporter innocently. ‘No opening,’ responded the lobby, ist. ‘You sen, I had rather light pickings lately around the California and Nevada legislatures, and thought, ns business was a little dull, I might run over and make a little rattle, but I couldn’t find anybody that knew the ropes. Now in Nevada there was some show for a man to make a little. Business was quite brisk Iasi year, buying members for 8200 apiece and selling them for $1,000. Many a time I would know just how a man was going to vote, and sell his vote to some big company tor $1,000. I’ve sold manv a man and delivered the goods, and he never know how much he went for.

In California you can talk ahont the weather five min utes with a man and know just how much he wants for his vote on any Atlanta Post-Appeal. Many inquire* have been directed to the Department of Agriculture in this city concerning the results of the ensilage experiments at the recent Cotton Exposition. 'The Post-ap peal this morning asked Commissioner .Senderson for the facts. ‘Yon may say that we made the ex periment with a well constructed silo and a miscellaneous supply of green forage. The amount put into the bins was equal to fifty tons. The ex« periment was looked upon with dis trust, through fear that fermentation wonld be too rapid in jthis climate. The result was not such as to justify the doubts. After six weeks mold was only a few inches thick c& the surface, and alter that period did not ipereas* perceptibly. The ensilage was excellent in quafity and proved so in results to the cattle fed with it.’ •Then you consider the experiment was a success ?’ ‘In every way, and demonstrates beyond question that ensilage prop erly conducted by our farmers will fill their every want in tde way of winter forage. I unhesitatingly recommend to the farmers and stockmen of Georv giathe prompt and general use af forage so prepared, It will make better working stock and better beef —the latter a consummationVlevoutly to be wished tor.’ Eosilage is the new system of pre serving green forage of all kinds ja pits, properly constructed.

Dr. Felton and bis movement cannot be laughed down or sneered down. It is not wise to underestimate the strength of the op position. The people ot Georgia should be especially careful whom they send to the legislatote this year; and especial ly careful as to the state house offi cers whom they will elect. Georgia ia rich, and there are men who are hungry for spoils.

It looks like the democrats are preparing to repeat the folly of 1872, by nominating Blaine.or by accepting him as the nominee of a ‘lilieral’ par ty. Such a course will absolve all democrats from their allegiance, and the party will go to pieces by a sort of gigantic centrifugal explorion. Bald* Cor..

The lailure ot so many small coun try merchants demonstrates one fact which ought to be useful and instruc tive to the south. It proves that even with the extortionate rates of interest charged t'*e southern credit system is not a safe one tor the mer chant. The average advance on cash prices charged by the merchants who furnish supplies on security of the crop is in Georgia about 65 per cent., and in other states not much less. This most usurious charge, of course, keeps the planter always in debt to the merchant. Something more prof itable than cotton at ten cents a pound is required to enable him to pay this tax and make both ends meet. But it seems at even 65 per cent, the merchants take too grea at risk. The profits of trade under this system must he far less solid than they-seem or the southern merchants would not be seriously embarrassed by a single short crop. The farmers are rapidly learning that the buying of supplies on credit at from 50 to 75 per cent, interest is ane Ot the things, and the chief one, which keeps them always poor and prevents their tising from the condition of tenants to that of land-owners. The merchants and factors will learn from their present troubles that the credit system has its dangers for them also—something few N. Y. Mail and Expiesa. When the power given to the Unit ed States by the cotton crop is fairly estimated, ao intelligent person will deny to that product an imperial rank. When southern industries were paralyzed by the civil war and southern ports were under a block ade, England sought to make herself independent of ^fmerican cotton fields by the developement ot cotton culture in India, but the attempt was not successful, and with most other nations of the earth England is com pelled to bow her proud head and make obeisance to the great product of the south. Statistics published by the department of state indicate that four-filths ot the cotton crop of the world is produced by tho United States. It is estimated that about 3,500,000,000 pounds of raw cotton are produced annually, as follows: Ubited States 3,770,000,000 East Indie* 407,000,000 Egypt.Smyrna, etc. 269,000,000 Brazil .«*«••••• 44,000,000 West Indies 16,000,000 The cotton acreage in India has di minished rather than increased, and the fact that eighty pounds per acre is the average Indian yield, while 200 pounds is the average in our southern states, explains why England had to abandon the project of of growing enough cotton in Iudia to make her self independent of the United States. No reason appears for doubting that the United Slates will continue to supply the world with the greater part of its cotton. But the exhibit we are able to make as a manufacturing country is by no means satisfactory. It is believed that Americans use an average ot forty yards of cotton each annually, the a'verage for; Europeans being twenty-seven yards. It is es timated that the mills of the United States produce a little more than the 2,000,000,000" yards required for borne consumtion, although the value of our exports of manufactured cotton during the fiscal year 1880 was but $9,981,000 to $29,929,000 imported. The amount exporied in 1881 was val ued at $13,571,287. But unless there is a prodigious developement of our manufactures, our exports of man ufactured cotton will long be insig nificant. How great a misfortune it is that we do not manufacture tnore extensively may bo understood from the (act that the amount paid us by foreign nations for cotton would be doubled were we to manufacture all we export. The rank of the natiops as manufacturers ot cotton has been estimated by an English authority, as follows, the amounts being the value of the manufactured product: Great Britain $561,170,000 United States 233,280,000 Germany. 166,920,000 Russia... • 102,050,000 Franco................... ...... 97,500,000 Belgium and Holland 43,180,000 Auatria-Hangary 63,180,000 Spain, Switzerland, etc 63,000,000 l Iudia 34,020,000 j Italy 24,800,000 Vulgarity Bare and'bleeilina f found treading tha path < Fur trimming on skirt belongs to tho furbelow oii'tbb c Babies are described f ns coupons attached to The'bond There was Shakespeare.

How vast the opportunity is for this country to ex tend its influance and wealth by the development of the cotton industry it is not difficult by a few simple com putations to show. Cotton is king of all the manufacturing industries, and it is possible for this country to control the king. The knowledge that we grow four-fifths of the world’s cotton, but permit England to be su preme in its manufacture, ought to stir this nation, and stimulate the people to exertions which will make us supreme in the world’s greatest manufacturing industry.

A writer in the Southern Fanners’ Monthly, says: ‘In my vicinity plan, lew are paying one dollav a bushel- for corn on a credit, payable out of the next fall crop. If cotton should sell « for7 cents net, it will require 14 2-7 pounds of cotton to pay lor one bush el of corn. It a man can exchange bis 2,000 bushels of cotton at these figures he will get 14,570 pounds of cotton for his crop of corn, or abnnt 36 bales of cotton up north to pay for the corn that one man can make. Is there any wonder that wo are as poor as a church mouse ? And Bill Arp is about right when he saye: ‘I am afeered we are a nation of fools. There has long been an impression up north, and even in the south, - that we cannot raise stock to profit; that wo have no grass; can’t leed stock; that the flies are too had; that we have too many diseases; while the facti8, we have tnore and better grasses than the north has. We ran raise bogs, cattle, sheep, mules, and horses for one-half the cost that it re quires up north. And to fatten the stock for market.it can be done with peas even on the poor land of Geor gia for less money than it can he done in the north; and, while we arc rais ing stock, we are improving our lands instead of wearing them cut. I am well aware that there is a strang fas cination in planting cotton. We see in the spring that $40 a bale, and tea bales of cotton to the hand, but from some cause we can’t see the expense attending the making ot the crop. The czar will be crowned in July, and the first preparation for his cor onation is to keep his loyal subjects from getting within a halt mile of the procession. He will march in a sort of covered way, with entrenchments on either side ef the road, as well ns barriers and lines of troops. The ditthes will intercept mines and tho fortifications and troops will keep off sharpshooters. The czar will wear a chilled steel ball-proof overcoat,and will ride in an iron-clad chariot. With these precantions he will enu-r the sacred Moscow, and will receive the homage of his beloved subjects at a very long range. The New York Herald pithily re marks that ‘the English, in many ways, are showing theirsympathy tor the oppressed Hebrews in Rus-ia.
