Letters ex- in s pressing regret at inability to be present the from President Cleveland. Postmaster Qener- u'' m< >i 1 Wilson, Secretary of War Lamont, and jnn many others, were read.

Reduction of Acreage Not Likely to Ever Occur. The synopsis of the report for May of the statistician of the United States department of agriculture, showing among other things "the progress of cotton planting and of "spring ploughing'' in the States and Territories and "the revised report on the cotton "crop of 1891," coutulns some interesting figures. 1 The total crop for 1S94, as reported, was 9,482,913 hales, produced iu sixteen States , and Territories as Follows: North Carolina 454,920 South Curoliua 818,330 Georgia 1,183.924 > Florida 48,005 Alabama 854,122 1 Mississippi 1,167,881 Louisiana 728,069 Texas 3,073.821 Arkansas 709,722 Tennessee 286,630 Indian Territory 104,887 ' Missouri 24,114 ] Oklahoma 13,001 \ ! Virginia 12,735 Kofitueky 2,685 ; I Kansas 67 Without giving the llgures (census of 1890) I ' showing tlm population of the several States, 1 it is interesting to note the relation of cotton j , production for the year to the population of i , the larger cotton growing Slates. North J Carolina produced one bale to every 3.5 persons, South Carolina one to every 1.4, , Georgia one to everv person, Florida one to every 8 persons, Alabama one to every ljL, ' Mississippi one to 1.1, Louisiana one to 1.5, : Arkansas, <>ue to 1.5, Tennessee one to 6 persons, Texas produeeil !.i bales to every ; person. Indian Territory makes a surprisingly large showing, more than double that 1 of Florida, but its "population" is too 1111- J certain to ;ulmlt of comparison for the present purpose. Missouri, it may be added, made one bale to every 111 persons, Virginia one bale to every 123, and Kentucky one to G20. Au especially interesting feature of the oxhibit of course is that, with a larger relathe negropopulation, Sou* h Carolina, Mississippi and Louisiana products! le.-.-t coiion per ' apita tiiiin cjtiier Texas or Georgia, which faci should go ve:y f.ar toward correcting some current misapprehensions as to the uppox'd intimate relations Is-tween eolored and "cheap" labor, aud cotton production or over-pro.lueiion. Louisiana and Arkansas, it will tie noted I again, have about the same population and produce about the same number of bales, at precisely the same rate per capita for their whole population; yet the colored population of Louisiana exceeds that of Arkansas by more than .00 percent. Returning to the statistician's report, however, we tin t the following interesting statement and table, with the explanation that the statement relates to "progress of "cotton planting aud contemplated acreages" for 1895. "The amount of the proposed breadth planted prior to the 1st of May was 78.5 per ul. tgamst 86.6 last year and 85.;1 the year before, !>-?ing 10 points lowm than the acreage usually planted at that date. The returned estimates of area planted by the States are as follows: North Carolina, 55; South Carolina, 75; Georgia, 79; Florida, 95; l Alabama, 87: Mississippi, 84; Louisiana, 86; Texas. 75; Arkansas. 79 Tennessee 79. Tbo delay was -a used principally liy the cold, backward spring, while in some soctions it ivas the result ol ?irv weather. Th? indiealions at present point to about the usual icr.-iy in ih - Slates of North and South ['.ir -liii i. 11.'oncia, Alahamu and Arkansas, iad i re netion iii tlio States of Mississippi, [. im-ianc, Texas and Tennessee.

' The Convention Disposes of It* Work Quickly and Adjourn*. Under a banner with the inscription "Sound ^ Currenoy and Better Banking Facilities," between seven und eight hundred representative men of the Southern States assembled at I Memphis, Tenn., Thursday,, to express their opposition to the free and unlimited coinage of silver and to declare in favor of the continuance of present monetary conditions. It was essentially a gathering of "solid men," bankers and merchants, farmers and g members of professions allied with industrial ? interests. It was ^specially commented upon that Hie politicians were couspicuous by their absence. I e Oen. Calcliings was made permanent n chairniau, and said: "No convention has j ^ ever assembled in this region for a higher or ! '' more noble purpose. Not a man has come here to advance any personal end or to ac- v coniplishanyselllshpurpo.se.

The selection ot a committee ou resolution.-! F was next in order. There was no response g when the States of West Virginia and North Carolina were called. Mr. Carlisle s sheoeh occupied one and a ; half hours. He spoke with unwonted energy h mid made hut few references to his notes. I yi He was listened to with profound attention, I the audience being apparently anxious to p ?rasp and follow tiie trend of ids argument | w ami the mass of figures with which it was ^ supported, aud there were few interruptions j p of approval until toward the close, when, ; with quivering forellnger, he declared that : a| the hard-earned savings of the poor ought i not to be sacrificed to the avarice of the | wealthy mine-owners or the ambition of as- ! piring politicians, his heurers fairly went wild, aud when in his peroration he urged | P that there could bo no prosperity for one 1 'E section at the expense of the other, hut thai i ill must stand or fall together, it looked for a moment as though the enthusiastic audieuee i would storm the platform. I ^ At the night session, Judge Rose of Little q. Rock, chairman of the committee on reaulu- 1 a dons, reported a series of seven resolutions | g, >pposing free coinago and favoring a single f fold standard. A clause of the second resoution reads : "Wo arc, therefore, opposed to I ;h? free, unlimited and independent coinage 1 )f silver at the ratio of 10 to 1 when the mark- 1 a ;t or commercial ratio ift more thau 30 to 1, j ? ind the difference between the bullion value a| )f a gold and silver dollar is about 50 cents, [ ju >n the ground that such action, instead ol w estoring the bi-metallic standard, would in- u ivitably result in silver mono-metaliisni.
