The Catholic Congress in Balti more t* a significant sign ol the times- It* position towards some the political, social arid economic topic* of the day is <<l the deepest iri tcre.-l to every thoughtful eitizen. Wc should think much, if we say lit tie. Politltal strife finds i;o place any where in Pierce county. Our inter ests all centre on home life. To he biippy and prosperous at home as a result of honest labor Is the chief aim of our people. knee problems are unknown. The utmost harmony prevailing between white and colored people. Luckily we are not bored with professional politicians, and consequently have no hones of con tention to gnaw. It Is the politician Glut keeps the world it an uprout that benefits nobody but himself. ‘ Hurri oi.ism” is a term that has no meaning. Beyond the mere fact of his being President ol tlie I oiled States, General Harrison has won no title whatever to a place in the nomenclature of political science, ltelore his nomination ho was a non entity. Siuce his inauguration he has made no sign ol administrative capacity, HtnlesinnuUke sagacity, or definite purpose. 11 w official gait is as that of a duck on a turnpike road, without dignity ami aimless, l'“ may bo best defined as a “figure ol speech. “The Republican party must de pend wholly upon the North to keep it in power, and it will undoubtedly renew its rffmt* to array a solid North against a solid South’’. Sa vannah .1 forniny .Vies. May lie so. But the North can never lie made solid as the South is solid. The South is the nuiip-ul home ol Democracy, while the No'tli is lacking iu that cement of personal and local political interest which binds ns together as u compact mass. The North i* lacking also in the hotm>g< ncoiiMicss which distinguishes the South; and is Ik c luting more and more divided by coutlicling interest. The I'OjHM'ts in circulation in tin mwspapers about Vice-President Morton figuring us a private runner of a saloon ut his new apartment Imuac in Washington, are scarcely credible. Even a republican Vice President would have a higher re gard l«>r the dignity of his office than t» descend to such a level.

One may have the right to do a great many things that hud better be loft undone, even by a private citizen, But, certainly, we ate having strange experiences, both of a public and private character.

We are proud of our town, and wo have a right to be, lor we have something to tie proud ol; and no strang'r “within our gates’ has tailed to comment on the pretti ness ol our home. It. is for this very reason we are anxious to see a practical exhibit of our appreciation ol its merits us a dwelling place. There is a responsibility upon the inhabitant* ol a place that the public delight in us a leature. to make it a thing ol beauty and a joy forever;— lo keep it up, we mean, in plain English.

There is a great deal of gush in the newspapers uliout the New South, as though the south, ashamed of its traditions, had taken a new depart ure, and, in a lush ion, lost its identi ty. There is, in fact, no more a new .South than there is a new North. We are simplv a quarter of a century or more, older than we were at the time of the war. The tune tliut has rolled by lias been freighted with new experiences, and new phases ot thought. Tito inventive genius ol man has introduced numerous im provements in the shape of luxuries, aids to labor, and n ouns lor acquir ing wealth. Social changes have Icon ell'ected, political knowledge has l>een more widely dill used, tnon > y and property have become more evenly distributed; a generation has passed into the shadow ol the tomb, ami those who arc now playing the leading putts on the world’s stage are the boys utul girls of the South < I the past, whose minds, moulded iu a more modern school, are, perhaps more liberal and more tentative, more enterprising, and less tied to the traditions of the pa*t titan wo grey-beards were. In all these par ticulars both sections ot the country have undergone mutual changes; we, ol the South, have simply kept a bieast ol the times, and if wo have acquired more wealth, more o. unmet- cial importance, and attained a more vigorous growth, it is on'y because advers ty instead <>l crushing has de veloped our native energies, and taught us how to utilize the resources nature has supplied to our hands. The South is not now; it is simply developed. Wo hold the past in rev erence. and its great actors iu honor.

At ten cents a pound for American mid dlmg grade of cotton, in New York, with present trade conditions for manufactured products, there i» not enough ol the worlds supply to satisfy the demand. As it is, there is no apparent possibility for cotton to av erage as low as ten cents a pound for middling in New York ; rather the prospects, ns wc view them, indicate as high an average as that of last -oason, namely: 10.71 cents a pound Ibr ujilnmls ” It is predicted that Brazil, Egypt, Peru and the East Indies, will give no greater increased yield than 31, 000 bales, while that of the United states is estimated at 250,000 bales in excess of last year’s crop, all of which will be wanted and more too. Ellison estimates the requirement for this year, for American cotton, at 450,000 bales in excess ol’last year's crop. In the calculations above given is not included the allowance to be made lor the difference in the quali ty of this year's crop, and last sea son's, which is said, by experts, to have been the poorest lor years. It is claimed that an average IGu bales of this crop will go as lar as 105 of the lust.. t fins ditl’eience is as real us a corresponding increase in hales, and means the equivalent of about 350,000 bales.” This being the ease the world will be amply supplied with cotton, and the holding buck the crop lor increased prices will be a hazardous experiment.
