PROGRESS. Previous 10 1900 there was not
a single steamboat in existence, and the appli-
cation Of steam TO machinery for navigation was
unknown. Now there are 5000 steamers ira
versng the rivers, bays and lakes Of America,
and the time saved in travel is equal to 70 per
cent. In 1900 there was not a single railroad
in the world In the United States there are
now 1877 railroads. costing 1895, 900, 600 to
build. The locomotive will now travel in an
hour distance which in 1900 required whole
day to accomplish. In 1900 it required eight
weeks to convey intelligence between New Or
leans and New York; now it can be accomplish
ed in minutes by the electric telegraph, which
only had its beginning in 1843. This is the kind
of progress we admire, and worth all the
progress" so much Wanted by politicians.

but OF the general truth of the estimate there
can be but little doubt.
CAN'T STAND HrN.-The rumor thatthe hon.
J. P. Benjamin would receive prominent pub
lie Office from the next president does not ap-
pear to meet with favor from the principal demo
cratic organs al the south, many of whom indIg-
nantlv repudiate the idea The Mississippan,
the leading democratic journal in that State,
and the personal organ of Jefferson Davis and
BarksdaIe, holds the following language:
1t is due to candor to say that the appoint
ment OF Mr.. Benjamin, OF Louisiana, will be no
less than an outrage upon the southern demo
cracv. 1t will be worse than a blunder. 1t
will be an act OF bad faith to party which gave
him cordial and united support.
Until Iastzyear, Mr.. Benjamin was one OF the
most unsparing, imperative and active leaders
son. he warred upon democratic princi pies and
policy Born outside the limits of the United
States. he WAS necessarily excluded from CO.
operation with the know nothings, whatever
may have beer his ant-democratc instincts;
but still he did not ally himself to the demo
cratic party until the very eve Of the last presi-
Dental canvass. And is this democrat Of gester
dry 90 be adopted one of the confidential ad
visers of democratic presidcnt--to be consti-
tuted a ieader and representative man" of the
gSeat democratic or-ansation--to be taken in
to the councils of the president elect, above tie
heads Of the veterans OF the party-the SCARED
and faithful soldiers Of An hundred fights. We
protest against it! We scout the idea as wilol-
" absurd, that Mr. Buchanan will commit such
an act OF folly and injustice, Every consider
alton of sound policy forbids it.
So wags the PoIitcgl world Having made
all the capital they could out Of Mr.. Benjamin,
the democracy now want to kick him overheard
lest he should come in for share of the oaves
and fishes.

grading the road, laying the ties and putting

feet in length, and it is estimated that it will
lay'sthe track at the rate of ten feet minute.
This IS importantly true-and the invention
will be employed by every railroad company in

that the sugar crop in this island viii

last year. Interested parties are do.
ing their best to conceal the truth
but the time is fast approaching wher
the official statements must be pub

have already finished grinding, par
ticularly in the vicinity of Matanzas
Throughout the whole island, the cane
has been more or less injured by the
strong winds and excessively hard
rains. In addition to these calami.
ties, the heavy frosts bit the young
growth. | have heard, also, that the
yield has been quite small, compared
with that of previous years, to such
an extent that many of the estates
have made at least thirty per cent
less than last year. This had the eff
feet of raising prices to the present
exorbitant standard from which they
