JOTTON MANUFACTURING IN
THE SOUTH.
Of the three natural staples on
vhich the United States relies for
fier chief wealth, cotton has been
bringing its producers the smallest
nonetary returns in proportion to
the ultimate value of the product.
This has not been a normal situa
tion, nor one in which any section
>f the country whose interests in
every part are a unit could take
unqualified satisfaction, writes Le
onora Beat Ellis, in the American
Monthly Review of Reviews for
July about “cotton mills in
rotton fields.” Rather it has been
miong the-industrial problems that
have fretted large minded states
men north, east, and west, as well
is south; for, in every land, ques
tions of state are daily becoming
more entirely.questions of econo
mics.
But the solution of the difficulty
ippears clear at last. Let the south
lo with her staple what France
does with the product of her silk
vorms, or Ireland with her flax —
that is, get ,the utmost possible
value out of it before letting it go.
The cotton-growing belt seems to
lave waked up to the fact that its
inly salvation lies in becoming the
otton-manuf icturing section as
veil. It required almost the space
if a generation for us of the south
Atlantic and Gulf states to arouse
and fully grasp the truth that un
aided agriculture, with an all-cot
ton policy, was leaving us
poorer and poorer each year; that,’
while the cost of raising the staple
had been greatly advanced under
our altered and still unsettled sys
tem of labor, and with thousands
of acres of exhausted land an in
cubus on our hands, yet the status
of the world’s markets was such
that, by their manipulation, the
cotton-grower could >be forced to
sell his crops at unreasonably low
figures, while on the other hand
foreign manufacturers could com-
pel him to pay fictitious prices for
the fabrics made from his own raw
material.
THE BOXER S POINT OF VIEW
An eminent Chinese in London,
once a member of the Boxer -socie
ty, presents the Chinese point of
view thus:
The Chinese have in the thous
ands of years of existeuoe, solved
to their own satisfaction, what
younger western nations are trying
to solve.
Our desire is for happiness in
this world, as we understand it, by
honest methods and social enjoy
ment, according to our experience.
We never ce.ise to work. Labor
is a part of our pleasure. We
have no retired merchants.
Our prosperous men share their

good fortune with their unfortunate
brethren.
Knowing nothing of another life,
we try to make the best of this.
We practice content and aTe as
well off as we want to be.
We are a calm, slow people, if
you will, and do not desire to l>e
coine nervously irritable and fly
from place to place with railway
speed. We would rather have our
beautiful arts than mills and fur
naces.
We want to be let alone and en
joy our country in our own way.
We do not want your modern
improvements and yet you insist
upon forcing them upon us. We
ask you to leave us and you refuse.
You even rob us our of harbors,
land and towns.
Failing to be rid of you peace
fully, we are forced to expel you
violently.
Your missionaries are violently
divided among themselves upon
main principles and they are a dis
turbing element.
We could have railways and the
like, if we choose; but we do not
choose. Yet you impertinently in
sist upon forcing them upon us,
with outrageous injustice.
We are not a military nation, be
cause we are civilized. War isbar
barism. Without soldiers, as far
as possible, we have, despite tre
mendous calamities, increased and
multiplied beyond all precedent.
We could overthrow the rest of
mankind, but we prefer not to do
so. Who could stand against our
400,000,000, if we choose to make
them a military machine ?
China has been invaded twenty
times successfully, and we have
absorbed the conquerors. All have
become Chinese. We have even
absorbed the Jews, who came
among us, and no other nation has
done that.
We have practically no dividing
politics, religion, private ambition,
land-hunger, gold-hunger. You
think that because the Chinamen
is insert, careless and simple, he is
a child. This is a great mistake.
He has learned the secret of happi
ness ana nothing troubles him, if
his conscience is clear.
Let us alone and we will let you
alone.
We have taken some pains to
boil down a rather long and elab
orate statement of the Chinese’ point
of view. While we find it defect
ive from our own point of view, it
is well to known what the other fel
low thinks about himself and about
us, in order to deal judicially in
the premises.
CRITICISM MADE HIM RESIGN.
Preacher Who Attended a Bullfight
In Mexico Forced toQult.
Beaumont, Texas, July 10. —
Methodism in Texas is all torn up
over the withdrawal from the
church of the Pev. W. Pope Pled
ger, of this city, because of severe
criticism of his course in visiting a
Sunday bull fight at Monterey,'
Mexico, last spring. Mr. Pledger
was one of a party of excursionists
who visited Mexico, and while
there availed himself of the oppor
tunity to study life in the republic
by attending a bull fight. When
news of this reached Beaumont, it
caused excitement in his congre
gation, some of the members agi
tating the question of removal.
The matter blew over, however,
but clergymen at other places, re
fused to condone his act, and in
letters to him and communications
to the peesscriiicised him.so s. ve-tly
that he finally decided to withdraw
from the church. He preached his
farewell sermon yesterday. He be
gan by saying that he came from
| a family of preachers, his father,
| grandfather and several uncles
| having filled pulpits, and then he
! gave as his reason for withdrawing
hom the Ea>4 Texas conference
audthechurch the attitude of many
brother clergymen who condemned
him for attempting to study the
manner* and customs of Mexicans.

JAPAN IS
FOR PEACE.
Does Not Want to Have Any Trou
ble With Russia-
ATTITUDE TOWARD AMERICA-
No Danger That Emigration to This
Country Will Ever Be Extensive
Hard Working People.
New York, July iq.—R. Kondo,
president of the japan Mail Steam
ship company, 111 an interview in
the Journal of Commerce, says:
“There has been a great deal of
exaggeration concerning Russia’s
and Japan’s attitude both in China
and Corea.
“The Masainpo incident,concern
ing which so much has been said,
in an instance in p :int. All that
there was in that affair was that
the Russians desired to obtain a
coaling piece of land in Masampo
whereon to provide shore facilities
for a steamship line to be run in
connection with the Eastern Chi
nese railway. The Japanese owner
of that much talked of piece of
land was no other than the Japan
Mail Steamship compauy, of which
Mr. Kondo is president, which de
sires to use it for precisely the
same purpose as the Russian com
pany. The incident has absolute
ly no political significance what
ever. Nothing could be further
from Japan’s desire, and I believe
the same may be said of Russia’s
feeling toward Japan.”
The first question which attrac
ted Mr. Kondo’s attention on his
arrival in San Francisco was the
agitation against Japanese immi
gration. Naturally he look great
interest in the matter, and investi
gated the condition of affairs which
had given rise to the agitalion. He
found some of the Japanese in a
deplorable condition. Many of
them had evidently come to this
country under the impression that
money is to be earned without
much effort, leaving their homes,
where living is much cheaper by
comparison and where they could
lead simple, happy lives without
any definite idea of what they were
to do on arriving but with many
a hasty impression that they would
improve their condition, just as
many Americans go to Cape Nome
or to the Klondike. The disap
pointment in many cases is bitter,
and the hardships which such ex
periences entail will no doubt have
a deterrent effect upon Japanese
immigration. The Japanese gov
erument lias no desire, Mr. Kondo
states, to have such immigration
continue as was shown in the re
cent restrictive measures adopted
in Japan. On the other hand Mr.
Kondo found many employers of
Japanese laborers w ho pronounced
them obedient, honest and hard
working. That such labor wiil be
of benefit to this country in dis
tricts where labor of all kinds is
scaice and where the natural re
sources richly repay’ all toil ex
pended upon them, he does not en
teriain the least doubt. Nor can
he conceive of anything like gen
eral opposition in such . a country
as the United States to thfe free and
voluntary coming of useful labor
ers because they belong to a differ
ent race, least of all when it is re
membered that their number can
never be very great. Mr. Kondo
does not believe that the United
States woulyi ever take any restric
tive measures against Japanese im
migration which could be construed
as an affront to Japanese prestige;
but if that should ever be done he
thinks it no more than probable
that Japan would adopt retaliatory
measures, That result, he thinks,
would be a matter of deep regret
in the case of two nations whose
friendship has always been so cor
dial, and to both of whom even
closer ties in the future would be
of so much advantage.

TELLS OF LIFE IN ISLANDS.
J. J. Burns Says Filipinos Are Too
Lazy to Work—Praise for Chinese.
Chicago Record
J. J. Burns, former sergeant in
the 20th United States infantry, on
duty in the Phillippines, has re
turned to Chicago and intends to
remain here for a time. He trav
eled extensively in Luzon, from
Manila to Vigan, and met all classes
of Filipinos. For several months
he was detailed for duty in the
Supreme court at Manila, and had
an opportunity to become familiar
with the best side of Filipino life.
The other side he saw while cam
paigning. In general he says the
people are ignorant, lazy and su
perstitious, and adds:
“The men thoroughly despise
any work requiring muscular effort,
no matter how much money there
may be in it, but they will spend
days trying to copy some fancy
letter or design on a piece of can
vas or cloth. Many of them are
so expert with the pen that inside
of an hour they can duplicate a $5
bill. As painters, musicians, bar
bers, tailors, engravers, cigarmak
ers, and other things requiring
dexterity rather than manual labor
they have few equals, but I have
searched a half-dozen towns in
Luzon and could not find a Filipino
blacksmith or stonemason.
“The Chinese in Luzon are a
blessing to the country. Without
their labor no white man can expect
to carry on any important business
there. The Chinese will work day
and night, in rain or sunshine, and
for activity they are hated by the
Filipinos, but have endeared them
selves to every American soldier in
the Phillippines. In actual com
bat the Chinese have bravery and
tenderly carried our wounded off
the field. At meals thz Filipinos
squat on the floor around a large
bowl of boiled rice, into which all
put their fingers, squeezing the rice
into little balls and rolling them in
fish gravy. Their light at night is
made from a piece of pith placed in
a glass or little earthen jar of co
coauut oil. Caudles are rarely
hsed except at weddings, christen
ings and wakes.
“All the Filipinos gamble. The
women, when not gambling, em
ploy themselves at sewing and em
broidery, which they do well. Hos
pitality is one of the strong points
of those people, and they are mu
sic-loving. The people are s,. crazy
about cock-fighting that every fam
ily has one or two game birds, and
these become so tame that noplace
will do them to roost but the head
or foot of the bed.”
