The Galveston News make* u good point when it says that another argu ment in favor of cotton manufactories in th*> South is found in (lie receut scheme to grow iu Afri? a t ot ton for European manufacture. There seems to be a well organized movement among the l^aneashire cot ton spinner* with a view to seourfng their raw material fioin British territo ries in order that they may eventually become independent of the American product. Their recently organized Brit ish Cotton Growing association has the endorsement of Colonlel Secretary Chamberlain, it is said, and hat assur ance of help from all the colonial gov ernors. Similar moveipeniH are being made in both France nnd Germany, an.? extensive preparations arc going on it; Africa, South America and Mexico. It is explained that while efforts will be made by the English association to improve the quality and to increase the output of Indian cotton, the chief hopes of Its management are apparent ly centered in West Afiica, which is said to bo capable of supplying 3.000, 000 bales of 4?-otton annually-? whit-b would be quite sufficient for the Lan cashire m?.n?nrB' use, and in the Biit ish Soudan Hie c<TTTi15TM7nn"TTr? nr?~ 8ngkim-Herbe?* railway will, it Id thought, vastly stimulate cottcn cul ture. It lS'^rdlcted that in the course of time and the progress of changes th:u S going on a comparatively small ount of raw cotton may be sent from United States to Europe. Two causes will operate to this end. One of these is the glowing demand of our home mills; the other is the fall ing off in the demand of the European mills which have hitherto depended upon the American cunon producer for mnTenal. f The South is |HHnufacturing its cot ton more and more largely Into the finished product, thereby increasing steadily the profits of its crop. The prospect of increased cotton pro duction in Africa may prove a blessing in disguise by stimulating the great in crease of cotton manufacturing in the South, The time has passed when the South depended mainly uppn raw cotton. The South realizes that her great future in cotton lies in the manufacture of the bulk of that crop. ? Atlanta Journal. Through the Indian Territory.

Baltimore, Special.? Senator John T. Morgan, of Alabam, now visiting in this city, was interviewed on the coal strike ami on the isthmian canal out look. Speaking of President Roose velt's suecesB in bringing about arbi tration. the Senator ?ald: "I am very glad that a jnodita vlvendl has appar ently been formed, and 1 should think the Republican situation would be re lieved considerably. In a matter where the corpfoi't and prosperity of the whole people ate concerned, we should not entertain any question of party ad vantf^es, but should consider the gen eial welfare. But the strike question haw only been put to sleep for a time. You will find much debate and attemp ted legislation in Congress and in I/>b islalures of States containing mines, which meet this winter concerning the status of mines. The so-called ques tion of capital and labor is a broad one, Mr, if ill, in New York, has taken the wrong idea of handling the fuel question through the exorcise of the right of eminent domain.

With the two I branches of Congress or opposite poli tical faith, the government will be seri ously embarrassen. There is nothing to ?aln by a consltlon of this kind. It would not. be any advantage to any one." Asked what he thought of the pros pects for the. construction of an isth mian canal, Senator Morgan said: "1 have always felt,' confident that when the wholfc matter has been gone over the Nlea:ngun route will be accepted FiA the onl? practical location. The money has been appropriated, anil I do not believe, any commission of men or pcoundielrf will be able to prevent 5t and cause the money to be converted back into the Treiwnry.
