CANNOT HOPE TO COMPETE.
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.
BIG FIRE IN ST. LOUIS.

St. Louis, Dec. 20. A lire started in

time the live-story building was com
pletely gutted. Tho total loss will

the northeast corner of the building,
was wiped out, sustaining a loss of

GAGE'S BILL.
The Secretary of tho Trrimury Apprnrs n.
furo tho Currency Committee.
Washington, Dec. 17. 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. M'KENNA AND DAWES.

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.

NEXT G. A. R. ENCAMPMENT.
It Will Ho Hold at Cincinnati from Sep.
teiuher fi to lO Next.
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

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.

"Seven years ngo, my wife had n severe
