Hughes mid tho Trusts.
In the financial column of the
New York Journal of Commerce on
January 25 it was said; "Downtown
bankers arc thinking of organizing;
to support Governor Hughes for the
presidency. He is ardently support
ed by Standard Oil, but he ?nay not
eare to have ttiis fact widely adver
tised." As the Journal of Commerce
is the most reliable authority on fi
Ilance and business, no doubt the in
lormation that Governor Hughes is
"ardently supported" by the Stand
dard Oil Trust influence is true.
Where all the cash came from that
elected him governor has been a dis
puted question. Some said the Wall
Street bankers furnished "tho boo
dle", but as the Rockefeller inter
ests are so ardently supporting Gov.
Hughes for tho Presidency probably
the same interests furnished tho
bulk of his campaign fund when
running for governor and will no
doubt try to swamp the Democracy
with its millions if Gov. Hughes is
the Republican candidate for Presi
dent. These Republican reformers
have queer connections and will
bear watching.
Protection Not Panic Proof.
Thc Republican panic and business
depression is reducing wages and
workingmen arc binding a job in
stead of the job hunting them. With
men out of work wages naturally de
cline and consumption of luxuries,
at least, decreases, and many even
suffer for necessities. Arc not these
conditions good evidence that the
high tariff docs not insure prosperi
ty, inspire of tho boast of the Re
publican leaders that protection pro
duccs prosperity?
Strange Bedfellows.
Thc old saying that politics makes
strange bedfellows has again proved
true for Benjamin B. Odell, Jr., thc
former Republican boss of New
York, has been called to lead the
Hughes f?rceS. Rut this is hardly
more strange than that Toddy and
Woodruff should bc found in the
same bed. The ways of New York
politician aro past Unding out and
thc voters have shown they ure
heartily sick of them
can leaders who were so boastful and
lordly when things were going their
way arc now afraid of their shadows
and stand in deadly fear of the po
itieal future in store for them.
SBNATOK Aldrich seems to be the
undisputed masier of his Republi
can colleagues in the Senate, which
shows thal the Trust boast of su
premacy is well founded.
IT seems to us that tho members
of the State Senate went, off half
cocked when they jumped on Sena
tor Appelt with both foot about
thal editorial in thc Senator's pa
per. Abuse does not prove that the
statements made in that editorial
are not true, and it would have been
better, and more convincing to the
public, if the grave Senators had
denied thc charm1 tn more parlia
mentary language.
Gov. Hughes says ho believes in a
protective tariff, which probably ac
counts for his. favoring a tariff com
mission, so that revising thc ta
riff may he put off as long as possi
ble. Why do all the Republican
leaders refuse to at once reform the
tariff that protects the trusts?

Cut Down Cotton Crop.
The suggestion is made by Presi
dent Smith of the Cotton Associa
tion that the farmers of the South
agree and bind themselves to cut
down the acreage again next year.
That is not because we have raised
LOO largo a crop, ?i?ys tho FU-rence
Times but because we have raised
too small a one this year. The rea
son for it is to be found in the fact
that though cotton is very scarce
now. though thei-e is practically a
famine, the spinners* who are all
united, and included in their band
the spinners of the South, just as
well as the spinners of the East
and of Europe, are determined to
fight the reasonable demand of the
farmer for a better price for his
product, and they have closed their
mills, shortened the hours of labor
and done everything else to starve;
the farmer into compliance with
their demands for cheap cotton,
they havtf failed to a very great ex
tent, but they won so much success
that it isneccessary for us to rise up
and smite them once more a solar
plexus blow this time.
In the face of this famine, in the
face of the fact that they are trying
to pile one crop of cotton on
top of another so that it may be
cheapened, let us resolve to plant
corn and peas next year and cut
down the crop so that they will not
have wherewithal tb fight us. Even
the determination to do such a thing
would spread consternation in the
ranks of our enemies, for they no
longer laugh at the pretensions of
the "fool farmer," when he says
what he is going to do with his own
crop.
We will have them sitting up and
taking notice if we even talk about
it. We would rather make terms
and have a decent and fair trade
basis with the spinners, and under
standing that would be satisfactory
but they would not have it when we
were the under dog in the fight it
was unconditional surrender, and
now wc arc in a posit ion to demand
an unconditional surrender as the
price of our ceasing to fight. It is

Aside from tho tribute to tho chair

Just at this time when the great
battleship (leet is making a trip
more thun halfway around the world,
when tho despatches are filled with
accounts of an attempt to blow up
one or two of the magnificent vessels
je Ad'?ir; 1 V. Mn-' cuni nandi and
when Hobson and thu president are
striving to secure consent of
congress to a plan that will
mean a much greater navy in the
hear future it is pleasant to know
that all the world concedes that our
navy is the second strongest in thc
world says the Augusta Chronicle.
It is surpassed by Englands alone,
and will continue to be indefinitely
on account of that nation's scheme
ol' naval defense, always striving to
build as many ships annually as any
two nations combined. As long as
this plan is pursued it is evident
that the United States will have to
contiue to allow Albion to bear the
ti tl o of Mistress of the Seas.
Just wherein the excellence and
strength of our navy lies is told in
Brassoy's naval annual, which is an
authority in matters of the kind.
Commenting on this there is a lum
inous explanation in Harper's Y/eek
ly written by Newton Korest, who in
the course of his article tells the fig
ures in an interesting way.
Great Britain, United States,
France, Germany and Japan, is thc
order in which the list of the world's
naval powers begins.
Great Britain alone exceeds the
United States in fighting forces
afloat. To attain its position the
United Stales, during the twenty-'
four years which have elapsed since
the building of the modern navy be
gan, has expended $300,359,190, or
an average of nearly $13,000,000 a
year.
A comparison of thc naval strength
of Japan and the United States is
doubly interesting in view of the re
cent departure of the American
fleet of battleships for the Pacific,
and the significance which has been
attached to this event. The Ameri
can navy has on its list 20 battleships
of 10.000 tons and over, while Japan
has 115; our navy has ll coast-defence
vessels, Japan 3; wc have 15 armored
cruisers5, Jiman 13. But in thc num
Un thc outer nano, Japan nas only
9 submarines while we have li).
In thc cost of battleships of our
navy tin1 Connecticut and the
Kansas lead tho others, thc for
mer cost mg $7,667,606, and the lat
ter $7,071,I'M. The cost of main
tenance of each type of warship is
as follows: Battleships, $036,587.12;
armored cruiser, $755,151.47; pro
tected cruiser, $583,002.26; gun
boat, $115.585.12; torpedo-boat de
stroyer, $77i354.22; torpedo-boat,
$50,620.98; submarine, $26,451.10.
The total number of ships in the
American navy is 10S; in the navy
of Groat Britain. 454; in tho french
navy, -M'S; in the navy of Germany,
210 and Japan has 191, lt will thus
ho soon that while the United States
has thc '.ca t number of ships of
tiioso live powers, she is still second
in rank by her comparative strength
in battleship tonnage. Great Bri
tain's tonnage of 821,390; United
States, 406.146: France, 308,461;
Germany, 358, bil ; Japan, 191,498.
The reason of the excess of ships
in tho french navy is found in th*4
fact that she has 271 torpedo-boats
and Pl? submarines, while England
bas only VI torpedo-boats and 4^>
submarines, and ibo United States
only 32 torpedo boats and IP subma
rines.
'rbi1 personnel of (he United States
navy has always boen considered
high in standard, bid in number it
falls below those of langland,
hYance, Germany, and Japan. But
tho United Slates is one of the three
countries among the (ive mentioned
which maintains a marino corps.
The oilier two countries which have
Ibis branch of tho service at'C Eng

Thc total number of o til co rf in the

which oin1 is an admiral, 20 rear
admirals, and M captains.
Tho io!al number of petty officers
and enlisted men is now ::x,r.(iO.
whereas in 1885 it was only 8,250.

BLES3ING THE WATER8
As Safeguard Agninst Floods-In

?St, Joha the Baptist, is erected on tho
frozen surface pf the River Neva. Tho
river is then called tho Jordon and re
ligious services aro conducted in tho
temple by tho metropolitan or high
priest of thu national church, attend
od by tho emperor and all his court.
Tho coromony is in memory of tho
baptism of Christ, and io supposed to
bo a safeguard against dangers from
floods, ns well as to benefit those who
Diako their living on the sen.
A hole is cut in the icc in the center
of tho floor of the chapel. From this
tho people aro baptized by sprinkling
by the priests, and the faithful meta*
hers of tho Greek church go in vast
crowds to get their share, while re
ligious devotees often pluugo Into the
ice-cold flood through He hole. ii
they catch cold and die, as (hey often
do, heaven is secured for them. On
the evening before thc ceremony de
vout churchmen make crosses on
their thresholds to prevent the evil
spirits that aie driven from tiie water
from taking refuge in their houses.

Petersburg is the Uiver Neva. I'pon
its banks tho most magnificent pal
aces are erected. The numerous
islands are parks or pleasure grounds
