RIGHTS OF NEUTRAL8.
For alx month* Russia's «hlpH In the
East have either been bottled up or
so closely occupied by the Japanese
fleet that there was neither time nor
opportunity to Interfere with the cur
rying of contraband store* to the porta
of Japan. Therefore Japan's foreign
trade has not decreased and there 1*
every reason to believe that English,
American and German aa well a« Jap
anese ship* have been carrying car-
goes to the Mikado’s porta containing
war n« well na other valuable atorea.
In thla respect Japan's poaltlon baa
been a very fortunate one, more *o

That Russia's apare ahlps nhould un

earliest poaalble moment waa only to
be expected. What la aurprlalng la

but there la said to be abaolutely no
warrant for sinking her, and In *o
doing the Russians took the rlak of
very aerloua complications with Eng
land. One of the foremoat authorltlea
on International law, referring to the
belligerent captor of a neutral ship
mippOMd to have contraband of war
on board, la quoted na saying:
"He must bring In the captured prop

The Washington Post remarks that
"tho strenuous Infelicity of the early
sixties which freed the slaves has
wrought a lasting Injury to New Eng
land and conferred a more than com
mensurate benefit on the South," and
goes on to say that "when the gallant
sons of the East went forth to save
the Union from disruption we suspect
that it did not occur to any of them
that they were engaged In an enter
prise that would eventually prostrate
the chief manufacturing Industry of
Utelr section and reinstate it In the
cotton producing states."
Thla Is In reference to the present
labor troubles in the Fall River mills,
concerning which another observer, the
New York Evening Mall (itep.) ex
presses Itself In part aa follows:
"The question Is not. however, of Jus
tifying the m#n who have cut wages or
renaming ths men who refuse to work
for the lower sesle. except on the score of
their self-interest. .The whole future of
New England's textile Industry Is largely
dependent upon successful rivalry with
the cotton mills of the flout hern states.
The wonderful growth and prosperity of
these mill*, with ths• staple «t their very
doors, Is largely due to their freedom from
such labor troubles ns the one that now
confronts Fall River. Many millions of
capital have been transferred from New
England to the South during the past five
years. Every such struggle bMMen the
owners and the unions is an Invitation
to silence more spindles In Massachusetts
and start new ones whirring In the Oulf
flutes.”
It looks as if the prospect for cot
ton manufacturing In New England 1s
becoming more desperate all the time.
Rut New England statesmen are hard
ly likely to follow the example of their
grandfnthera and urge secession from
the Union, thla time In order to put
a prohibitive tariff on cotton goods
from the South. Secession sentlmont
Is dead In New England as well as In
the South, and the statesmen of the
former section must search for an
other remedy for their troubles. The
South Is forgiving enough to hope that
they will succeed.
Admiral Dewey long ago received the
enthusiastic admiration of his country
men and won world-wide fame by a
single day’s gallant fighting. Now
after si* years ho Is to receive a more
substantial reward In the form of prise
money. For capturing a Spanish ship
and other property of tho government
of Spain on thnt memorable day III 1898
ho and his officers and men are to re-
coIvh one-half of tho value of that
property, which Is appraised at $1,657,-
SS5. The hopo of prlso money Is not
necessary to encourage brave Ameri
can sailors to do the'r best, but It Is
nevertheless fitting that their efforts
bo substantially rewarded—and more
promptly than in this Instance.
OeorgU is the peach state of ths
Union. Twelve years ago the order of
the chief peach producing states was:
Maryland. 6,100,000 trees; Delaware,
4,620,000; New Jersey, 4,600,000; Geor
gia, 1,700.000. Rut when once Geor
gians had taken a hand seriously ths
superior excellence of our aoll and ell*
mato for peach culture soon produced
the Inevitable result. In the fall of
1901, the number of peach trees re
ported In the four states named, and
expected to b« In good bearing In 1903.
waa: Georgia, 7.660,000; Maryland.
4,015,000; New Jersey, 3,700,000; Dela

Republican organs In the East are
seeking to use silver as o bogey msn
to frighten off Democratic voters, while
some Republican organa In the West
are warning Democratic voters against
the “gold-bug" Parker as tho tool of
robber capitalists. It la not without
reason that the Nashville American
observes that ths Eastern and Western
organs "should come to a better under
standing If they desire to deceive even
the feeblest-minded." And yet this In
consistent plan la not aa hopeless aa It
seems, for comparatively few of tho
peopte of the one section know what
the organa are saying In the other.

NEW RAILROADS
IN SOUTHERN STATES
Over One Hundred Companies Organ
ized In Six Months—Part Played by
Cotton In Export Trade.
BALTIMORE, Md., July 29.—Though
June was a dull month for railroad In
corporations In the South fourteen
new companies were reported, making
a total of 107 new companies reported
during the first six months of the yeir.
Reviewing this phase of Southern de
velopment the Manufacturers’ Record
says:
“In addition to fourteen new incor
porations reported In June, one pre
viously-existing company amended Its
charter to permit of additional con
struction, and the total mileage of
these lines for the month is 898, mak
ing a total of 10,003 miles projected
by these companies reported during
the first six months of the current
year. This, of qourse, does not in
clude mileage projected hy old com
panies under their regular charters,
nor does it Include several incorpora
tions made in Loylsiann and Arkanrns
covering lumber roads already built,
and which have heretofore been operat
ed merely as private enterprise*, not
doing business ns common curriers.
The incorporation of such lines has
been brought about for the purpose
of facilitating their business nnd to
/Venp benefits which could not be le
gally obtained while they were priv
ately operated.
"The most Important railroad enter
prise Incorporated during June la the
South Atlantic & Mexican Gulf Rail
way, which Is to, bd 325 miles long, ex
tending from Savannah, Oa,, southwest
across that state to Florida, and term
inating at a point on the Tulf court,
presumably near St. Andrews Bay.
There Is only one other Incorporation
in Georgia, that for the Natural Bridge
Railway, which Is building twelve
miles of line. Tho Alexandria, Bayou,
Macon and Greenville Railway, which
proposes to build a line about 190 miles
long from Alexandria, Ln., to Green
ville, Miss.. Is the next enterprise of
Importance on the list for the month,
and If Its entire plans are carried out
it will be a railroad proposition of
great magnitude, ns its plan Is ulti
mately to extend from Georgia west
ward through Alabama, Mississippi and
Louisiana to a point on the Texan
coast not far from the oil fields of the
Lone Star state.
•The Bay Mlnette & Fort Morgan
Railroad waa Incorporated ln Alabama
to build 62 miles'of line connecting Bay
Mlnette and Fort Morgan In Baldwin
county, opening up a new region of
great agricultural capacity. Then
there Is the Oklahoma A Cherokee Cen
tral Railway chartered to build from
Adair, I. T.. to Blackwell, O. T., about
a hundred miles. Another line which
promises to be of Importance Is the
projected Winchester & Washington
Electric Railway about 60 miles long
from Winchester, Va., to Washington.
D. C. Kentucky reports one road, the
Mt. Sterling short line, with nine miles
projected Missouri reports three, the
Jeroco A Southwestern. 20 mllea, the
Crawford County Midland. 6 miles and
the 8L Louis, Webster A Valley Park
Railway about 12 miles, making a to
tal of S8 miles for the state. North
Carolina displays one line, the New
Hope Valley Railroad to build 20 miles,
and South Carolina has the Lynchs
River Tramway Co., to build about 10
miles, while West Virginia reports the
Monroe Central Railroad to build 40
mlless of line ami the Alltngton Short
Line to construct about five miles.
Arkansas notes the amendment of the
Cache Valley Railroad’s charter to
build a 27 mile extension.
•The outlook for more Incorporations
of new railroads In the South remains
excellent and It Is probable that much
new construction will continue to *be
done by the old companies. The Influx
of settlers Is radldly opening up hither
to neglected regions and is constantly
creating more and more demand for
railroad facilities."
The Important part played by cotton
In the export trade of the United
States is clearly-Indicated In an analy
sis of the value of cotton exports and
of all merchandise exports In the fiscal
years ended June 30, 1902. 1903 and
1904. made by the Manufacturers’ Re
cord. The Increase In the value of all
exports between 1902 and 1903 was
from $1,381,719,401 to $1,420,141,679. or
$31421278. equal to 2.7 per cent., and
between 1903 and 1904 it was from
31.420,141.679 to $1,460,829,539. or $40.-
€67,360, equal to S.t per cent The val
ue of all merchandise exports except
cotton Increased In the first period from
tl.091.667.S82 to $1,163,961,250. or $12.-
893.66* equal to LI per cent, and In the
■econd period It decreased from 81.103,-
ML2S0 to 8l.69t.mjM, or $18.611294.
equal to L2 per cent Tbe Increase In
the value of cotton exports waa from
8296.661.819 to $316,180,429. or $25,528.-
616. equal to 8.7 per cent in the first
period and In the second period from
$316,186,429 to $378,490.5*3. on $54.310,.
164. equal to 17.1 per cent. The In
crease in the value of all exports be
