tide from the Boston Journal of Com
merce giving the dividends paid
in twelve years by thirty-one New
England cotton mills. This will be
read with interest by the people of the
South. It will be seen that the aver
age profits of tho mills turned will
compare favorably with the most suc
cessful mills here, while they are far
in advance of general results.
Tho time has come when over-
confidence in our advantages should
give place to serious examination of
our condition and surroundings. We
cannot rely safely upon vague and in
definite convictions of general advan
tages over the East, while we neglect
the important conditions upon which
the success of our competitors has so
far been assured.
Critical examination of our mills will
develop first expensive construction,
In a majority of instances this has
been followed by faulty arrange
ment of machinery, resulting
in expensive and inferior
production. They are deficient in the
high grade of skill that obtains in the
manufacturing departments of most
Eastern corporations. In tho sale of
our products we exhibit at every point
the want of experience and judgment.
These causes combined seem to have
inflicted upon Southern cotton mills
hardships more severe than New Eng
land has experienced in the worst of
the past twelve years, and to hare de
prived us of the advantages accruing
to her in better seasons during that
period.
If the figures contained in the article
in question are correct and represent
properly the results of cotton manu
facturing East, there can be but little
doubt that the business has so far prov
en more profitable than with us. This
will surprise and disappoint many of
our people. While it is a disappoint
ment it should not tend to discourage
us. Upon the question of natural ad
vantages we have nothing to fear. We
have not failed or fallen behind at this
point. The evil is In want of experi
ence, and In a species of bigotry bom
of Ignorance, through which mill mana
gers in the South with a few months’
experience, or without experience at
all, profess to accomplish results that
are known in New England at least
to be utterly impracticable.
Our first necessity is a higher grade
of skill in the construction, arrange
ment and operation of machinery.
How we are to meet this wont is a
question that docs not indicate solution
in the next decade. We are far be
hind New England now. Sho has a
large population trained In cotton manu
facture as the result of long and large
experience. In addition she is supple
menting this supply - with annual
classes, turned out from her institu
tions devoted to the training of young
men for all tho mechanic arts.
We have not the skill of
her population, neither are we doing
anything to supply it.
Another pressing need is a higher
grade of business talent In
the management of the finan
ces, the purchase of material and the
tale of products for our mills. We
have not os yet developed the capacity
to unite upon the only plan that sug
gests relief in the present depressed
condition of this trade, even upon
unanimous judgment that every mill
would be benefltted by Us adoption,
Experience has shown that a large pro
portion of mill managers in the South
are possessed with the ridiculous con
ceit that they have special advantages
over all others of their competitors,
even here.
We must yet develop our capacity
to deal with these disadvantages and
many others, before we can hope to see
the South exercise what wo believe to
be her natural influence upon cotton
manufacturing in this country. It is no
longer a question of natural advant
ages but of capacity to utilize litem. The
occasion calls for a re-examination of
the whole field and such an acquaint-
an ce with the facta aa will promote
new adjustment to the only basis that
can secure success.
James F. Harrison, public printer, have
wicked partners” who shared in the
wrongful act of Colquitt? Who engi
neered the job ? It can hardly he cred
ited that James P. Harrison could
induce Colquitt to do this flagitious
wrong by himself. Why was the mat
ter not reported to the subsequent Leg
islature? The field for fruitful inquiry
Is very ripe for men who desire to do
their full duty, and to do a great right
to a greatly wronged State.
So far as has been probed this affair
shows great rottenness. It is one fea
ture of a very corrupt administration
that was thought to he forgotten. If
thoroughly exposed it may lead up to
another Investigation. There is the
Blodgett claim, tho Colquitt pardons,
and the Cole charter that await
attention. It is safe to say that these
matters would not be allowed to sleep
if there was a well-organized opposi
tion party in the State.
Some day there will he such a party,
and the Democrats may be sorely
pressed on account of a failure to do
their full duty in this day of reform.
Any whitewash laid on now will be
surely rubbed off in the future, and not
very far future at that.

A Legielative committee baa been
engaged tn finding out why Colquitt,
when Governor, In violation of law,
diverted two thousand dollar! appro

smith and Renfroe trials.
It has been given out that Jamei P.
Harrison, public printer, received most
of tbe money, which he admitted was
contrary to law, that tbe stenographer
got some and then refused to complete
the work.
It would appear that the committee
baa completed its investigation. Its
probable report is thus foreshadowed
by the Atlanta Constitution:
The committee having In band the tnveatl-

ing tho onxlouo thousand! of tho wlieet men
that section. Ae to the feeling toward the
North that la entertained by Southerners, yon
can find but one sentiment—perfect kind-
ae."
Had these words been penned by a
Southern Democrat they would have
been called “the result of prejudice and
race hutred.” Coming as they do from
the private avowal of a Northern Re
publican, they are worthy of note.
They are true, taken in a general sense.
The treatment of the new generation
of negroes is indeed a grave problem.
And the difficulty Is confined almost
entirely to this class of negroes. They
lack everything that enters into noble
manhood and womanhood, maturity
excepted. A writer of their own race
recently ascribed the despicable morals
and condition of these people to
singular causo. According to hia the
ory, the thrall of slavery did not cruib
out the manhood of the negro race, be
cause it was held by forco, but that the
now generation, by voluntarily submit
ting to occupy menial positions, lias
gradually sacrificed Its own self-respect.
He does not account'for its original
want of self-respect.
The main trouble with the new and
old race of negroes la the absence of
family and kindred love. The family
ia tbe type of society. The man who
unfaithful to hla wife and
unmindful of hla duties to
bis family, will make a poor member
of society. Bebindthls“maintrouble,”
of course, tliera must be a cause. In
this instance the cause ia a total ab
sence of moral sentiment. The negro
race has no moral nature. Policy is hia
only balance-wheel.
Report of tne Railroad Committee.
In our issue of yesterday the real gist
of the report of tbe special committee
on railroads was given. This commit
tee wss raised for the special purpose
of gutting information that should aid
the Legislature in amending the pres
ent law governing the Railroad Com
mission. The duty lias been faithfully
and intelligently performed, and tho
report makes up the issue. It remains
for the Legislature to act upon the In
formation that has been gathered in
obedience to its command.
The matter haa been so frequently
and exhaustively treated In these col
umns that our readers are familiar with
ita every feature, and there is no fur
ther need for statement or argument.
The issue is fairly presented to this
Legislature whether it will modify the
railroad commission law as suggested
by the joint committee, or will adopt
the suggestion of the commission it
self to do nothing. There Is a power
ful and Intelligent sentiment in favor
of redoclng the arbitrary powers of the
commission, and this sentiment will
yet prevail. Tbe present Legislature
