New Orleans, Nov. 21.—The Times-
Democrat, editorially, summarises th*
recant discussion in reference to the
sections interested in cotton manufac¬
ture. That paper is herewith submit¬
ted :
“Mr. H. V. Meiggsand Edward Atkin¬
son, both excellent authorities on the
subject, have been lately carrying on in
tee papers n very interesting discussion
as to the manufacture of cotton goods in
tee south, and the ability of this section
to compete with New England.
“Mr. Atkinson takes the position that
while tee south must, of necessity, be a
large producer of cotton goods, its pro¬
ducts will be generally of the cheaper
variety, and it will not be able to com¬
pete in the finer quality of goods.
“Mr. Meiggs Giinks that Mr. Atkinson

What Strides Hate Been Made.
“Mr. Meiggs admits that what is said
in the matter of coarser goods is true,
but he calls attention to the fact that the
southern mills are preparing to change
their spinning capacity from Nos. 18 and
98 to No. 40 yarn, thus giving much
finer fabrics. As the south advances to
40, the north must go to No. 80 or 80.
“These arguments, strongly presented
by Mr. Meiggs, are backed up by stal-

Parnell London, Not. 21.—The future of Mr.
ple depends him on what the Irish peo¬
want to do. He has stated in a
communication to his colleagues that he
will not desert his present position on
account of private matters with which
politics has nothing to do.
He says the matter shall be decided by
the Irish people, and not by the English
politicians. This & understood
to mean that he will
be governed wholly by the will of his
constituents so far as it is possible for
him to ascertain it. 'lue latest report is
that he will, at the end oi the session, re¬
sign his seat and offer for re-election.
There is a great difference of opinion
as The expressed New York % the Herald’s press.

can¬
not survive the exposure, and cites the
case of Sir Charles Dilke. The same pa¬
