Great Cotton Crop.
Washington, May 7.?The quantity
of cotton ginned from the growth
of 1902, exclusive of licfcers, amount- j
ed to 11,078,882 running bsles. The j
bales as pressed at the ginners are
equal to 10,630,945 bales of a 500pound
standard or, counting round I
bales as half bales, 10,588,250.
j
During the tour years covereu uy
the ginning reportB of the census
office the average crop, exclusive of
linter8, has been 9,902,277 bales of
500 pounds. The crop of 1902
show an increase of 728,668 bales
over this average while the crops of
1899 and 1901 show a decrease of
456,8S6 and 392,532 bales respectively.
In the crop of 1902 there
has been a general increase in ail the
states both east and west of the
Mississippi river, with the exception
of Alabama and Texas. Drought ia
Alabama and diou?ht and the boll
weevil in Texas are responsible for j
in those states.
1902 exceeded that
^^^^^^^Spfi^k^inners for 1901 by
[HH|^HHlHH9^iL8_Der
bales, of 5
per cent. Compared with that of
1899, the crop of 1902 increased 1&S-per
cent. *
East of Mississippi river production
increased from ?,039,252 bales
in 1901 to 5,692.967 bales in 1902, an
increase of 653.715 bales.
The degree of comparison which
has been maintained for the past
three crops between divisions of the
cntton belt as made by the Mississip
pi river is noteworthy. East of the
Mississippi river tbe production decreased
from 5,094,451 bales in 1899
to 4,781,195 in 1901, or 313,256 bales.
This was more than offset by the
increased production west of the
Mississippi river, where the yieid
was 5,341,832 in 1900, against 4,250,940
in 1899, an increase of 1,090,892
bales, or 25.7 per cent
Raw cotton easily holds first place
among the exports of the United
States, amounting for the year ending
June 30, 1902, to $200,651,819,
which is $77*517,475 in excess of the
value of "breadstuffs" exported, and
. greater than the value of the third
greatest export, "provisions, including
meat and dairy products," by
$90,790,441. The value of all cotton
exports for 1902, including raw cotton,
cotton manufactures and waste
and cotton seed and its products,
amounted to $349,479,747, or 25 8
per cent, of our total export of
domestic merchandise for that year.

"Well, that's just the trouble.
There is nothing but a lot of petty
business to bother us, and we don't
mind that. I wish something important
would come up and then the

A Bold Stand.
England Upholds the Monroe Doctrine
and Warns the Powers.
London, March G ?Foreign Secretary
Landsowne has proclaimed s
British Monroe doctrine in the Persian
Gulf and practically notified the
powers that any attempt on theii
part to establish a naval base or fort
itied post in those waters means wai
with Great Britian.
"I say without hesitation," said the
foreign secretary, in dealing with the
subject in the House of L >rds, "we
should regard the establishment of
a naval base or fiortified port io the
Persian Gulf by any other power ae
a very grave menace to British interests,
and should certainly resist il
with all the mean3 at disposal."
Landsowne preceded this enunciation
of the British policy by a review
of the situation there as it affected
British interests, contending so fai
as the D3vagation of the Persia::
Gulf was concerned Great Britiac
held a position different from the
others, both because, owing to British
enterprises and expenditures of life
and money, that gulf was now open
to the commerce of the world, and
because, the protection of the sea
route to India was necessary to British
predominance in the gulf.
Landsowne's attitude in this matter
generally meets approval, although
the answers thereto of the other powers
interested in tne gulf are awaited
with some anxiety.
The Westminister Gazette holds
that the British motive, namely, the
protection of the sea route to India,
correspond with America's motive in
excluding European powers from
American waters because the territory
is thereby threatened.

Eoossvslt's Trouble.
The President has narrowly escaped
colliding with organized labor
ou at least two occasions on his
Western trip. He made a placatory
answer to the demand that he join' iD
a boycott on the Union Pacific by
abandoning that part of his itinerary
laid out over that Bystem. Then
when he visited Kansas City, last Fri
day, a strike was tbreateDed because
Mrs. Armour offered her best carriage
for the use of tbe President and Gov.
Dockery. The trouble arose because
she did not have a union coact1
man. The coachmen's union met
and informed tbe reception comnrttee
* that, unless a union coachman and
hack were chosen, all the drivers in
the city would etiike, and leave the
visitors to walk. The committee was
plucky enough to defy the union, in
* spite of the threat to notify the Pres5
; jout, but Mrs. Armour withdrew
? the offer of her carriage, and spoiled
the chance for a pretty row. A big
1 strike in Omaha also follow his speech
there, in which he said both labor
and capital ought to do justice to
each other. Tae strenuous Chief

Over=Work Weakens
Your Kidneys.
Unhealthy Kidneys Make Impure Blood.
All the blood in your body passes through
your kidneys once every three minutes.
The kidneys are your
blood purifiers, they filter
out the waste or
impurities in the blood.
If they are sick or out
of order, they fail to do
their work.
Pains, aches and rheumatism
come from excess
of uric acid in the
blood, due to neglected
kidney trouble.
Kidney trouble causes quick or unsteady
heart beats, and makes one feel as though
they had heart trouble, because the heart is
over-working in pumping thick, kidneypoisoned
blood through veins and arteries.
It used to be considered that only urinary
troubles were to be traced to the kidneys,
but now modern science proves that nearly
all constitutional diseases have their beginning
in kidney trouble.
If you are sick you can make no mistake
by first doctoring your kidneys. The mild
and the extraordinary effect of Dr. Kilmer's
Swamp-Root, the great kidney remedy is
soon realized. It stands the highest for its
wonderful cures of the most distressing cases
and is sold on its merits
by all druggists in fiftycent
and one-dollar sizes.
