Cotton IruliiHtrv Itiipldly Hilftlnt; from New KiirIuihI MiitfK to tho Mintli. New Yoitic, Dec. 20. New England is all a llutter over the revelation that cotton manufacturing in that section is doomed, and that the industry is rap idly shifting to the south. Even tho operatives in tho mills see the foreo of the argument that with tho exceptional advantages of the south New England cannot hope to com pete with the southern manufacturers much longer, and the chances are that the proposed general cut of ten per cent, in wages, affecting nearly 100,000 persons, will be uccepted. In the mean time, the operatives, through the Fed eration of Labor, with which they aro affiliated, are seeking to unioniza their brethren in tho south, with a view to cll'ecting an equalization in conditions and wages. This, however, probably is a hopeless task, as to acquiesce the New in the programme of Englanders would cheek industry ly work at the south and ultimate to tho disadvantage of tho southern operatives. Manufacturers of cotton goods in the north are thor oughly alarmed at the prospect, and many of the leading factors arc east ing about in tho south for building locations, thus discounting the inevit able removal to that section.

Secretary Gage appeared to-day before tho com mittee on banking and currency of tho house of representatives to present a bill embodying his views for a revision of tho currency, to explain and urge its provisions and to meet any objec tions raised by tho committee. IIq Bald in opening: Tho objects I hnvo In mind In tho scries of provisions offered by mo ilro four In number: First To commit tho country more thor oughly to tho Kola standard; rcmovo so far as possibles doubts unci fenrs on that point and thus strengthen tho credit of tho United States both at homo and abroad. Second To strengthen the treasury In rela tion to Its domand liabilities In which nro In cluded iirccnbacks, treasury notes, tho inci dental obligation to mnlntnln on a parity, through Intcrchangcablllty with gold, so far as may bo necessary, tho present largo volumo of Bllvcr rertlllcates and silver dollnrs. Third To do this In such a way as not to contract tho volumo of circulation in tho hands of tho people. Fourth To tuko an Initial step toward a sys tem of banknote Issues without tho conditional doposlt of publlo bonds as security therefor. If wo prosper as a people tho revenue of tho government ought to bo somewhat In advanco of Its expenditures nnd tho publlo debt of tho United States grndually reduced and ilnnlly ex tinguished. Looking at tho question widely, from my best point of lmowlcdgo nnd experi ence, I feel that If theso could bo secured tho condition of tho government in Its relation to tho currency would bo much safor nnd stronger thnn now, and that through tho operation of national bank nota currency the commercial and Industrial Interests of tho United States would bo greatly advantaged. After this initial statement it was deemed advisable to read the secre tary's bill in detail and discuss by sec tions.

Tho Negro Will Not lie Harreil from Affili ation with American Federation of I.uhor. Nasiivii.i.k, Tcnn., Dec. 17. Negroes shall be admitted as members of trades unions affiliated with the American Federation of Labor. After an exceed ingly warm debate upon this question yesterday afternoon the federation re affirmed its former declarations giving eqtial recognition to the black brother. The fact that the convention is being held this year in a southern city gave added interest to the discussion. Tho negro question occupied the major por tiou of tho session and was brought on by a resolution introduced by Henry Lloyd, reailirming the dec larations of tho federation that all labor without regard to color is welcome to its ranks denouncing as untrue the reported statements of Hooker T. Washington, that the trades unions were placing obstacles in the way of the materinl advancement of the negro and appealing to the records of the federation conventions as com plete answers to such false assertions.

Cincinna'-i, Dec. 17. The date for the national encampment of the Grand Army of the Itepublic was fixed yester day afternoon for "the week beginning September 5. To come to this conclu sion required a long conference. Tho local committeo some time ago recom mended tho week preceding, August 28 to September !!. This met opposi tion on the ground that it would como just before pension payments in Ohio and several other states. It also was objectionable because it lapped over from ono month to th'e other. Tho entire day was spent in consultation, and when September .1 to 1C ivas se lected It met tho approval of the ex ecutive council as well as of tho local comujittjfcc. A MATTER OF PRONUNCIATION, A Fnthor AVlio Seek to KitllKliten Ills Son on n S mil II Point. There is a certain man who by the sweat of his brow in summer time earns his bread as a government offi cial .with an office in the big state, war and navy building, lie also earns bread for a wife and three likely children and a Fcrvant, who manoges to carry a slice of pie along home with her bread about three evenings in the week. Hut that is the cook's privilege always. This oillcinl has a son aged 13, who h very nearly as sharp as the father thinks himself to be, especially in those things that everybody ought to know and not one person in a dozen docs know. About three times a week the father comes to the office loaded with some new Information which lie seeks to impart to his fellow-clerks by the inductive method. That is, he induces them to show how little they know, then he springs iton them. His strong point is words and their pronuncia tion, and he thinks he is an author ity. The other evening while he wns en tertaining three or four of his office friends at a small supper the eldest boy spoke up from the far end of tho table: "Say, pop," he inquired, "how do you pronounce N-ew-o-n-c?" nnd the youth spelled it out slowly. "I presume," replied the father, with the courage of his convictions, "that it Is an Tndinn name, and by the rule I would pronounce it Ne-ow-n'." "But that isn't the way," dissented the boy. The fnthor was never more surprised in his life. "I don't quite see how it would he euphonious any other way," he snid, with a mild air of offended intelli gence. "Whnt's the matter with pronouncing it new one?" inquired the hoy, with a loud, irreverent ha hn. and tho blow almost killed father. Washington Star. QUEER MEXICAN METHODS. A Ilutlcr In n Legation Uhch n Door ih n Nut Grnckvr, A New York woman who has just re turned from her first visit to Mexico tells of the primitive way in which most of the natives do things. One fea ture that interested her greatly was the practice of sweeping the floors of large buildings, and even some portions of the public streets, with whlskbroomv. Such menial tasks ns sweeping and cleaning are invariably performed by Mexican domestics on their hnnds and knees, and they never complain of fa tigue or backache. "In some of the Mexican cities," said the tourist, in recounting her observiu tions to a party of friends, "the streets are sprinkled by men throwing water on them with small pails. The water is dipped up from the flowing drains by the roadside. Hut the most peculiar custom I noticed was that of cracking nuts in the doorjamb. In some Mex ican families nuts are served at break fast, luncheon and dinner. One day 1 went with n party of friends to dine at the Guatemalan legation in the City of Mexico. A little while before the din ner wns served I was passing through a long corridor in the legation when I saw a man whom I took to he the butler of the household energetically swing ing a heavy door to and fro. As a suc cession of cracking sounds accom panied each swing I looked closer and saw that the man was cracking walnmts, presumably for dinner. In this way he crncked a large bowlful of nuts with as much apparent ease and comfort as though lie had a modern American nutcracker in his hand." -N. Y. Times. THE GENERAL MARKETS. Kansas City.
