WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 16. The American People Will Eater lato No Entangling Alliances. ft is- our privilege this morning to publish interviews with some of -the delegates to the Pau-American Con? gress.. These gentlemen have been taking a birdVeye view-ef the varions industries ofcNew England. They seem- to be greatly impressed by our monster woollen ana cotton mills, by the inge? nuity, skiihand enterprise of American manufacturers and by the general air cf contentment and prosperity which char? acterizes the people. We in tare hold the governments which they represeut in high regard, ?nd take no Utile pride ia tho fact that "the major part of this Western Hemis? phere is dedicated to democratic princi? ples and institutions-. in th* coarse of I a few generations rheir citizens will be <K>ne homogeneous, the right relations be ween contiguous republics will bs established; they will occupy a com- j maud in g position among the Powers of j the globe and lay foe foundations of a I political future which will largely in- j fluence the progress-of mankind. We are gratined also by their oft re ? pealed' desire to increase their trade ; with the Ignited States, and earnestly j hope that the obstacles in the way of that consummation, and which shut us oat from the markets of the world, may be removed It seems a little anomalous, however, ' that an administration pledged to a practically prohibitive tariff should talk so mach about closer commercial rela tldns with other nations. Us pronounced policy is to shut the door against the very trade which this Congress is called to increase: *'Let our government give U3 free wool,'" said a gentleman to these dele? gates in Lowell, "and we can show you something greater and better than this arod it will be for your beneSt as well as j ours." That is the crux of the problem to be . solved. When we revise and reform our tariff laws, then a convention of this ?Sind will reach a definite conclusion, amd we can successfully compete with fibreignerSMn the South American m?r ket. Until then conventions can ac- j compiish nothing. As to the political scheme which Mr. i Blaine seems to foster and which he j proposes to push by means of this Con- ; gre8S-that is, the establirhment of a protectorate over- these republics-there can be bot one- opinion among right minded American citizens. It is time j to say with perfect candor and a good ! deal of firmness that (tte United States ; bas no business to enter into entangling alliances either with American repub ; lies or with the eCete monarchies ?of Ku- j rope. Tiiey are not in accordance with ! our antecedents, ncr with our interests, j ?or with the inclinations of the people. Mrs Blaine's interpretation of the ? Moo roe doctrine is at o tree fake; and ; dangerous The delegates kn OTT what j that dectrine is as weil as w^ do. lt is j simple enough. The policy wbrch Blaine represents, however, would in ?roWe us in the very dlf?euUies which the Monroe doctrine was int c?ed to avoid;. While we cherish the heartiest good j will toward the young and ambitious ! governments which aro ?ghting their j way to permanence and national secur- .' i^f. lt would be folly for us ?to make j fcheipqoarrels ours or to assume any j responsibility for their relations to each ; other-. The time is not ripe for so radi? cal sod perilous a movement. We stroDgly suspect, therefore, thet j this Congress is siiuply a piece of poli- ! ttcal clap trap, a pyrotechnic exhibition on the part of the magnetic statesmen, j a brilliant bit of ante-election strategy ; having reference to the nest Presiden- ; tial term. But the people are not to be caught ? with such chaff. They are averse to \ shouldering re^poosibUUies for the dis? putes-which are sure to arise in Cen? tral and South America and to being drawn into relations which might very seriously embarrass us. Wheo oeea- j eton demands we are always ready to defend what we believe to be our own rights, but to be dragged i tito the mis? understandings of our neighbors-such an a::er*px on the part of Mr. Blatte 1 sbonld b?resented with botis-dignation. We Americans propose to mind our own busii?*s. and -.re shat! never per? mit any nation or any "combine" of nations-to interfere with this congenial occupation.

The D?mocratie County Executive Committee met an i appointed thc'll of November as thc day for the primary election for a candidate fer ?!:c Senate. vice G. G. Alexander, resigned, and Lieutenant Governor M au ?din was wired the request to appoint the 12'h of November as the general election day. There are two can-iidatvs-J. T. Hay, a prominent lawyer of Camden, and Major Magiii of West Wateree, pretd dent of the County Alliance. U was rumored that the alliances had endorsed Magiii, but this rumor ls of course de? nied, for "there are no politics in thc Alliance." The New Soutii and the Fair. l?crc and there in an occasional south? ern city ajournai is to be found which terns to thi.-ik it incumbent that it should antagonize the claims of Chicago to the worlds fair of IS02. So far as this antagonism is founded cn belief in I the superior advantages of any other locality-no matter how erroneous such belief may be-it is entitled to some de? gree ef respect. Bat when this antag? onism is based on such assertions as that ' Chicago's vision is obscured by a contracted horizon cf hate ami malice and malignant misrepresentation of the southern people, their enVz-rprises, ?re?F loyalty, and their greatness''-that al? though ..twenty-five year?, a quarter of a century, have elapsed since the war yet Chicago has had nothing but words of hate, viilificatiou, and afcuse" for tfec south-and that "could Chicago once secure the exposition, judging its future by its past, it would use the opportunity for poisoning the minds of the strangers within its gates against the south, its people and its opportunities'*-when such statement;? are deliberately pub? lished as reasons for rejecting Chicago's claims one of two iii.ogs is certain: Either the writers are deliberately falsi? fying for partisan purposes as do their uorthern coparceners in the unholy ef fort to keep alive the tires of sectional discord, or they are fanatics cf the stripe of Harper of the o!c-time Okolons States, In either event they ate incap? able of teing reasoned with and henee unworthy of attention. With that other class, who honestly but nrstakenly believe that the interests of 'tfee. south would be better sui served elsewhere than in Chicago, the case is different-. For them it may be .worth while to summarize some of the indis? putable facts which give this ci ry a claim upon southern support in our eSorts to sjc r.' the great exposition. And first as to the sc-ntinareotcrl arr-eeit of rh'i question": It has been heretofore pointed out by the Daily Neos that the attitude of Chicago toward the south whenever that section was stricken hy yellow fever has done more to remove the bitterness oi the war-period than has beeu accom? plished anywhere else. It was Chicago generosity largely which equipped the relief-boat Chambers ia J878: it was a Chicago physician who kept his head through the trying scenes at Vicksburg when Lieut. Benuer-in command of the expedition and himself an Illinoisan, there died of the fever, 'laying down his life in bearing succor and relief tc those whom he had fought in war. The same scenes viere rerjeatefc at Memphis in 1879, and aguin last year when the whole poe th was panic-stricken by the Florida epidemic. Chicago on every occasion has thrown wide open her doors aod welcomed tho fieeiag refugees. When New York was arresting these people for "violating*' absurd and use? less quarantines a thousand miles away and confining the- unfortunates on a lonely island in her harbor-when her I affrighted health officials were dragging Prof Proctor from his hotel and con? signing him to death in a hospital-a Chicago physician. Dr. Rauch, secretary of the state board of health, was cglitit^g j the unnecessary and barbarous quaran? tine and inviting ai! who chose to come freely into Chicago and northern Illi? no! ?. These reheated invitations have been ; accepted by thousands of well-to do ' southerners who, during the last dozen years or more, have sought shelter and 1 security frota the dreaded sec ur:; ge in this city by the lake, and have here ! made acquaiutance-s and established : business relations. Io return, with true southern hospitality, they have in- j \\'( d Chicago business tuen to visit them, and in this way Chicago capital has come to be invested in the undeveloped forests, thc coal fields, and the- iron * mines of that great region. Western energy, western enterprise, western 1 ability, have met with southern open- I handedness, southern trust, and thc ; southern sense of honor, and the result bas been the marvelous development of ; the "New South." If any city ia the union north of the Ohio river has a claim upon the sooth if any such ci:y is the distinctive ex- 1 ponent of the great American idea, thc one place where a great world's fair should be livid-that city is Chicago. li. Chicago is .pledged to the greatest engineering work cf the century-ai work that, measured by its inevitable I results upon the material prosperity cd \ the continent, will eclipse ali that VT a* i hoped f?r trom De Lesseps's gigsnti^ j undertaking.

Finally : it is to the int< rest < f thc 44 New South " that the exposition of 1S92 should be held in Chicago.b'cause here only can thc material resources ?/. | that region be properly exploited. If held ia New York the fair will be a more or less imperfect attempt at re? pealing the artificialities of Pari?, of Vienna, of Loudon. The European ex hibitor will bc catered to and consulted and toadied. Ward McAllister's 400 snobs will dominate the whole affair, and t!ie American exhibitor and the American visitor will be snubbed on the ono hand and apologized for on the other. Here in Chicago no American will bc compelled io take a back scar. Thc Kai opean exhibitor, who goes wherever there is a prospect of reaping American dollars, will be accorded every proper facility and privilege and every induce? ment will be held oat to bring him over the water. Hut the managers of the Chicago world's fair will see to it that America and Americans also have au equal show. If the occasion is to Lc a pru5;able one to this country it must be indeed a " world's ?; fair, and not a cheap copy of a French or English or Austrian ex? position. It must bo one in which America-north and south, east ans west-in all her greatness, ??er resour? ces, her development, and her iustitu tions,shaU be honorably and adequately represented. Such a world's fair is impossible in New York Only such a fair could be held in Chicago. - Chicago Daily News About Cotton. Some of our go ;J friends, members of the Alliance, disapprove of cur course in advising the farmers cf Lan? caster County to sell their eon ou a 5 soon as ii was ready for market, be? cause Mr. Terrell, the Grand Lecturer of thc organization, advised them to hold. Now iet us see who is light. At the time we advised the farmers to soli, cotton was worth in any of the in? land morkets 10-?- cen?s. We said that to hold it for four weeks or two months the farmer would Io>e from 20 to 25 pounds in weight cn the bale and iron: one to one and a half cents per lb. Not knowing we cat-eel verify thc first ~ro pesition; but the present price of cot? ton corroborates our second prediction. Cotton has ah cady declined nearly one cent and the tendency is still down? ward. But, our main purpose in mention? ing the maller again is. to point out the bad faith cf thc A i ita see men of Texas and other (Juif States, who' through their speaker advised the belt of country known as the Atlantic ?.ate to hold their cotton, while they rushed theirs into market, reaped the benefit of the high prices and 'hulled the receipts for the corresponding period last year. Cotton receipts at : the four Atlantic ports for last week were 93 655 bales, these ports being ; Savannah, Charleston, Norfolk and j Wilmington, those at thc three Gulf j ports, New 0?leans. Galveston and Mobile, wen: 124.$06 baies. At the last named ports the receipts doubled what they were up to the same time ?a>? year. We think it our duty to ex? pose such unfair dealing and protect the interest of the farmers of this sec? tion, whose interest is identical with our own.-Lancaster Ledger. A DCT? TO YO?
