It goes without saying that If Any thing like 3-cent cotton on plantations Is witnessed next year, a general raift will ensue.

A yea and nay vote upon this amendment was had in the house, resulting yeas 112, nays 156. On this amendment t£ie Republicans and Populists, with the exception of Baker of Kansas voted aye and the Democrats generally no. The following Democrats voted with the Republicans; Bonnes, Covert, Har ris. Geary, Lester, Martin of Indiana, Meyer, Brice and Ryan.

IN THE SENATE. , The financial question was brought to the front In the early part of to-, day’s session of the senate by a.reao-* lutlon by Mr. Manderson (Republican) and which, after discussion, was re ferred to the finance committee. It cm-' braced seven propositions which, Mr. Manderaon admitted, looked like a j hodge-uodge. but which really were, he said, a compromise that might, b) and ought to be embodied Into law. These were: A reserve of 290,000,000 In gold and 200,000,000 In silver. The Issue of bonde payable In gold or silver. The destruction of legnl tender notes when paid in gold or stiver. The exchange for live years, when m»nt might bo permitted to Introduce evidence showing tile issuance of or ders. art! what the witnesses would re gard as the execution of these orders. This ruling was a heavy blow to the -Wettje whloh tome prepared wiMi volumnlous authorities to support its position, but was not permitted to ar gue the cirse. In substance, Judiyo Grosscup said that If It should be prov ed that in pursuance of the orders of th> directors of ’the American Railway Union, trains bearing mall bail been rtopped or violence committed, the con- nnlr.icy would be practically eflljibiish- cd.

Now tho announcement is made that the United Blades government will offer to Mexico in 'the interest of (the peace to arbitrate the matter.

F.ve years -ago when the road was completed and Rhine, 'Milan, Ala mo and other towns began to grow right Id the heart of the territory be longing to McRae end Eastman, some people predicted a set-back for thesa older towns, as the trade of the country was not sufficient to support them after losing such a large scope of country along the new railroad, butt lit has been clearly proven thait (they made a foolish prophecy. In making such a predic tion they failed to realize thait this sec tion of country was growing rap.dly, and ithe fact that iMcKao has doubled In population and business since the building of the Savannah, Amerlcus nnd Montgomery road, notwithstanding the competition of these new towns in Its old territory. Is conclusive evidence than the growth and development of this section Is rapid and substantial. Milan has several prosperous 'business houses, a grist mill, odtton gin, two churches. Methodist nnd Raptist, nnd a good school. It is situated at the junc tion of the Saivannah, Amerlcus and Montgomery and Normandale and Gc- mulgee railroads, tho laitter toeitig the Dodge Company's road running from Normandale to the Oemulget river at Temperance, a distance of about twen ty tulles.
