HKtTt R t ITTMrTI*IJ Zf 4T3KTM * The annual report of Secretary Hester, of the New Orleans ('often Exchange, contain# velaabt# and Interesting Infor ra tion He put* the cotton crop ot llte iHi at *,3MI bale*, bung le*e than the ! . nop of th* previous year by LteS.tet bates I Uut the South got a great deal more , money lor Ihe IM-M crop than for that of the previous year, beeauae tha price of | cotton wta so much better. According to hi* figures th# erop of Itellhi brought i 13K3.7v.5tk0. while that of although ne illy two million bales greater, brought only glv;’.773.®w. The statement renphrwtee* In a remark able way Ihe fact that It 1# belter for the Booth to raise only Just os much cntt.ai as the world erwnts si a price which will afford the cotton grower# a raaaonable profit. The world ha# only about #o much miney to spend for ration goods. Asa general rule an average crop tiring# about as much money as a big one But It coat* the cotton farmer* a great deal more to cultivate a big acreage than A small on*. They would be far more prowperou# If they should give more attention to stock nod gtain and tern *o cot too. By pursuing that policy they wouM build ip their farms on that oa* acre watdd grow a* much cotton a* two do now The In dia lions this year are that they will be gradually forced to adopt that pel lev be cause of the difficulty of getting th* labor necessary to cultivate and harvest large acreage* of cotton. The figures which Secretary Hester pre sente In reaped lo cotton manufacturing tn Ihe South Justify the position taken by tha Morning New# on many occasions, namely, th.it fh* time I# approaching when the greater part of the cor ton crop will be taken by mins located near the cotton field*. In tha last Iso year* there have been built In the Booth 333 cotton milts, there being An September 1 of thl* year 3A The number of aplndle# In the ttoulh la A3K.H3. Ihe Increase during the last year being 1 3.3.9T1. and th* number of new mills built last year—th#t Is, for the year that closed on Sept. X—waa HI The outlook for th* cotton crop thl* year, especially In thla actlm, la far from encouraging. The ewttmat*# are that II will not ho as large a* eras fh* crop of Inst gear. Secretary Hester make* th* visible supply on Sept. 1 of thl# year 1.- 73.f)0 bales, against 3.70t.0 bal'a last year. If his figure# are right, and there t# no reason to doubt them, and the set! mate for thl* year’s crop are approximate ly correct there Is no reason why the price of cotton should not he better than It waa last season. It Is true the Chinese t rouble Is likely to lessen considerably th# demand for cotton goods, but there is ev ery reason to think that that trouble will be far on the way to settlement before the cotton season has much more than fairly begun. THE (AM. I term '■ rt)ITL*THI. The Herald of New York claims tv* have Information as to th# country'# popula tion. According to this Information the population !* about 75.578,000 It la ap parent. however, that the#* figure* do not show th* population accurately. It would not be surprising If It ahould ap pear. when the return* are Complete, that the Herald's figures are far from be ing correct. It says, however, that so large a part of the count has been com pleted that It Is possible fo gef very near the truth. Assuming that the Herald’s figure* are approximately correct It eeema that the country ha# added about 13.QMi.M0 persons to Its population during the last ten year*. There la an Increase of nearly 30 per cent. There ought to be no complaint of that showing. Itosrever. If If should finally appear that there are 80.<w,iw> peo ple under Ihe Jurisdiction of the consti tution. there would not be a great deal of stirprlae. One thing the census to certain to show I* that rhe Increase In the ettlra has bran much greater than In the rural dtotric*. Rom# of Ihe cltle* show a phenomenal growth. The desire fo get away from the farm seems to he a* great In one part of the country aa another. The reason to probably that life In eh# country to very lonely, and Hi# opportunities for getting ahead In th* world ore not so great as they are In the town#. Farmers’ sons, however, should not overlook the fact that compariflvely few of those who seek homes In the cities secure the prises which are to be found there. Asa mat ter of fact there ora hut few prizes and many seek them A* a rule the farmers' boy* who remain In the country hav* greater auecess In Ilf* and mor* hgpplnras ehan those who seek rhelr for tunes tn the dries. Hlnce the first censua wa# taken the center of population ha* moved steadily westward *t the rate of about five miles a year. In 17i> It waa twenty-ahree mile* east of Baltimore.

Besides, there to ev ery probability that Ihe South will at eract Immigrant* *n a tar greater extent than ever before In the next ten years. tl to not certain that Senator Elkins, whose term expires next March, will he a candidate for re-election. The reason for the doubt la a cogent one; namely. Mr. Ktktns has no assurance that he could be elected. The Demo.-rate will have one more than half of Ihe hold-over senators In the West Virginia 'Legislature, and Ihetr chances are good for elec ling a ma jority of the new members of that tydv In this condition of affairs It to aurml*e,l that Senator Elkin* wffl not be a candi date. bm will content himself with reach ing out for a cabinet poalrion tn Ihe ev-nt of McKinley s snccea*.

Wnhln a few years when a drainage and sewer system , shall have been completed, the fever, la all probability, will disappear from the Cuban capital. Th# British have driven It out of their West India Islands. It Is a curious fact that, while all recent sta tist ic* of yellow fever show that It I* less deadly than either typhoid or con sumption. It continues to be more dreaded than Ihe latter named maladies com bined.

A Republican campaign document points out that during McKinley's admin istration a total of MSI.ODO.WAhaa been paid out for pro*torn; that last year the pen sion payments amounted lo 24 per cent, of the total revenues of the government, and that 33 per cent, of the pension ap plications under McKinley have been al lowed, whllq, under Cleveland the percen tage allowed was 31 >*. In other words, the Republicans are pluming themselves upon having Instituted a wild riot of pen sion grabbing and treasury raiding. Tha document Is likely lo make Democratic votes.

The craze for thla root, or for Its active principle. Is surpassed only by the craving for opium, and In times of uni versal peace thousand* of ton* are ex ported annually from this country. The medicine that ts made from It Is said to he worth more than Ita weight tn gold, the price ranging from te to 3D an ounce. Our home doctors say that Its virtue* are unimportant, but the Chinese find the ex tract of Inealeulable value In restoring both mind and body after complete ex haustion. The mandarin with paresis will get well on ginseng. Merchants here who make a business of exporting It buy Im mense quantities from the farmers, who dig It wild. The price paid for the root ranges from 37.75 a pound In the Routh to 35 for the best quality In New York, the Nw England rtatee and Canada.
