DEVELOPMENT of her resources is the great
need of the South, and yet the insane preju-
dice that assails every Northern settler holds
out little encouragement to immigration.
The experience of Hon. 81. S. Sanford, of
Florida, is case in point. That gentleman
went to the State eight years ago, bought a
large tract of land, brought over Swedes,
planted orange groves, built town, estab-
lished a paper, and spent large sums of money
in turning the wilderness into flourishing
community. What was his reward? As
soon as his name was mentioned in connec-
tion with the Senatorship, not long ago, he
was denounced as a carpet-bagger. 1t is
strange that this vindictive and narrow spirit
is allowed to prevail in opposition to the best
material and social interests of the country.
When the Southern people lay aside their
petty partisanship and give themselves in
earnest to the improvement of their splendid
region, then only may they expect to enter
on steady and healthful growth.

GOVERNOR BEvERIDGE, of Illinois, in his
late message, alludes to the prosperous man
agement of the State institutions. They are
twelve in number, and for the last two years
have each had surplus on hand at the end
Of the year, after all expenses were paid.
The experiments tried in the conduct of the
penitentiary receive some attention. Under
the lease system it was operated for ten and
half years at cost of $145, ,1SS. Under the
exclusive control of the State the cost for
four and quarter years was $S74,O00. The
present plan combines both systems, and
gives entire satisfaction. The State has
charge of the convicts, but lets their labo:
AS result, for five years the institution has
been self-supporting, and the general beha.
vior of the convicts has materially improved
The total cost of the prison per day is little
over forty cents for each convict. The ole
penitentiary at Joliet. in the northern part
of the State, has been crowded for years, anG
new one is needed.

Inc Scientific american recently suggested
shat the American custom OF: sitting on the
right-hand side of the carriage, and of turn
ing to the right on meeting another vehicle,
was wrong, and that the English custom of
turning to the left was correct. A corres-
pondent Of the Boston Transcript insists that
the change made in New England in the
matter of driving-seat and turning out was
not without reason. The driver seated on
the right, and, always keeping to the right,
can see the dangers and difficulties on his
side of the road; he can keep his wheels from
running into the ditch and perhaps oyerturn-
ing him, which in new country, with rough
and unfinished roads, is a much more com.

SOME excellent suggestions on the Indian

SOME excellent suggestions on the Indian
problem have been presented to Congress and
to the country by John Q. Smith, Commis-
soner of Indian Affairs. He would extend
the laws of the United States over all the
tribes, and break up entirely the tribal sys-
tenn OF government. 1t is the only basis of
recognizing this part of the service which,
In his opinion, holds out any prospect of per-
manence. In the next place he would con-
centrate all the tribes upon three or four
reservations. At present they are scattered
over more than hundred reservations, and
it takes from five to six millions annually to
provide for them, TO say nothing of the enor-
nous expense incurred in Indian wars, A
fair beginning has already been made towards
efiecting some of the reforms recommended
by Mr.. Smith, and it is to be hoped the whole
subject of Indian affairs will undergo such
change as to secure others which are so
greatly needed.

The Green Thrpe-C.ntAr.

By about the middle of next May the public
will have seen the last of the present Scent
stamp and begin to get accustomed. to some.
thing red or possibly new tint. The best and
fastest color known, the green three, has proved
placer for stamp-washers, who take off the
oily cancellation without acid or alkali and SET
the stamp afoat again. So far the department
has found no way out of the difficulty, and the
long series of experiments just completed has
resulted in nothing moIe than the assurance
that green is the poorest of stamp colors, At
the time it was adopted no other nation used it
for its unit OF letter postage, and with its dis
US the common stamps the world over will
run to reds ana browns. With the change of
color, May 1, there will be change in design.
The medallion head of Washington will be re-
tanned, but it will be relieved by an open space
of white and the scroll-work will have differ
ent pattern Altogether the new stamp will
bear some resemblance TO stamp OF sixteen
wears ago. which most people have forgotten.
The white background is adopted in the hope
that any attempt to wash the stamp will leave
this part irretrievably soiled. Some other
general changes in the stamps are likely to
follow the making of new contract May l,
and new head is likely to be introduced in
the shape of medallion of Liberty, one step
towards bringing more similarity between the
designs of coins and stamps. There is some
intention of putting this design on the 5-cent
stamp, used for the most part for foreign post
age. Conference and correspondence with
other postal authorities show that loss from the
reuse of stamps is much more frequent here
than abroad. 1t is scarcely known in England,
and there the stamps offer the additional temp
| taton of being easy to counterfeit. The prac-
| tice has recently begun in India, and the fru-
| gal folk is giving the Anglo Indian Office seri-
Gus loss by its skill in dealing with cancelled
