It is urged that the competition of southern cotton mills is so sharp i ihat wages must be reduced in New iN pgland, or New England cotton- spinning must end. Wf} Itis probable that all this will be Hire efter a while, but it is not true now. The south, with the cotton fields at hand, with easy and cheap access to markets, with cheap labor which is destined to remain cheap becuase of the land’s fruitfulness snd the consequent cheapness of ving, will undoubtedly usurp New < England’s place after awhile in the Icotton-spinping part of the country. But a3 yet there are not enough inners orlooms in the whole eouth Ho rival those ofa single great man- nfacturing state ia New England. And the south has not yet even be- Sun to compete with New England to the finer fabrics. In 1890 there were only 1,554,000 spindlera in the umyhole couth against 5,824,518 in Maseachusetts alone. And no south stisfern mill has yet made a print cloth p, por aDy other of the finer cotton first fabrics. S The wage question at New Bed- ford 1s still, therefore, one to be de- termined upon its merits, without regard to any possible southern riafcompetition that may come in the future, but has not yet come. The New England mills are paying from th¥gto 16 per cent, diyidends and the age controversies must bs judged accordingly. Whether or not $6 a week is e6x- wessive wage, it is certain that south- em competition has no part in determining the matter. Beauty is Blood Deep. ace Clean blood means aclean skin.

LONG-FOUGHT DUEL. Angry Georgians Blazed Away tor Hours. Senola, Ga., Jan. 29.—A terrible pistol and shotgun duel occurred near here between J. W. Entriken aad Clinton Morgan. For some fime there had been bad blood te- tween the men. The latter isa bailiff. Some one came into Entri- Ken's office and placed some papers with him to be served instantly on Clinton Morgan. Realizing that ttisis had been reached in his feud, )Entrikey concealed two weapons on his person and tcok a friend along foact as witners. Morgan appeared, and before En- tiken had time to serye him with the papere, he jerked his shotgun Pout and commenced to fire at the pproaching men. Both sought helter behind some trees and a mpid fusillade ensued. Entriken answered with his revol- Vers, until finally both men were badly wounded and could not leave their posts. Then came a blockade Mor both were afraid to even hang ‘out a white handkerchief. For nearly fve hours this ludicrous situation 4 *8s continued, until finally a friend of Morgan’s came to the rescue and ing the latter on horse-back, Overed his retreat. further trou- Die is imminent.

President McKinley has been im- portuned by leading republican members of the House to change his policy on the Cuban question. They have urged him to take more drastic steps. He has been told that the House majority is chsfiog under the whip of the pariy leaders. In con- fidence the President has told some of his congressional friends that he would like to begin a vigorous for- eign policy. He would like to inter- vene between Spain and Cuba, and to end the struggle ‘there, even though intervention should mean a war with Spain. But the moneyed interests of the East, the great cor- porations, which were so potent in the election of McKinley, have im- ¢ of and Southern inembers have threat- | ened to break away from Chairman | Hitt and Speaker Reed ard force the report of a resolution recognizing} Cuban balligereacy.

You should not feel any special indications that digestien is going on. If you do, you have indi- gestion, which means not-digestion. This may be the beginning of so many dangerous diseases, that it is best to take it in hand at once and treat it with Shaker Digestiye Cor- dial. For you know that indigestion makes poison, which cause pain and sickness. And that Shaker Digestive Cordial helps digestion and cures indigestion. Shaker Digestive Cor- dial does this by providing the di- gestive materials in which the sick stomach is wanting. It also tones up and strengthens the digestive organs and makes them perfectly healthy. This is the rationale of its method of cure,as the doctors would say.

And the corporations do not propose that the business interests of the country shall be disturbed. Representative Hitt, chairman of the House committee on foreign affairs, has been urging the Presi- dent to assume a bolder attitude. but, while the President personally would like to do this, nothing is to be done. Unless Spain, by her own acts, precipitates war with United States, thera will be nothing either by the administration or by congres-} sional action which will in any way disturb the commercial interests, whose hold on the administration is firmer than that of the people of the country. | Dehrious Dingley. H It needed no rambling and inco- heren utterances from tha great mill opener, wage-raiser and prosperity- producer, Nelsen Dingley, of Lewis-| ton, to convince the American people that the cotton strike had stunned him and sent his wits a wool-gather- | ing. It is not ia the poor human mind to withstand such a knock-out | blow as that. Still such ramblings and wanderings are corroborative and intensify sympathy with Dingley | in his deleful plight. He begins by saying that the trouble in New England will soon be over, because “conditions in the South will level up to those in the North.” Then he hurries on to say that the cause is “‘a world-wide cause —the powerful and rapid develop- ment of cotton manufacturing in Japan and India.” breath with these two contradictions | he declares that our cotton eched-| ules are prohibitive!

About two weeks ago Mr. Turk’s bird dog bit him on the right hand, inflicting aslight scratch that caused no un- A. easiness at the time. Soon afterward, | however, the dog ran oft and was killed near Ssginaw by people who said it had gone mad. The idea of the dog hiving hydro- phobia greatly alarmed Mr. Turk and his family, and he was prevailed upon to go to Seneca, where there is a madetone, and apply the stone to the wound. Accompanied by several relatives, Mr. Turk went to Seneca | his} Monday, and, upon arriving, apprehensions of danger were £0 great as to produce hysterics.
