THE general expression Of opinion by
the press of the country Ia that the revi-
val Of tho Louisiana controversy Just now
IL most unfortunate, and Is in the interest
Of nobody but the promoters Of strife and
bitterness. The New York Poa states
the case very fairly thus:
"a good deal has been said on one side
about the uniairness OF mitigating politi-
cal prosecutions In Louisiana and Of the
violation OF IN agreement which such .
proceeding involves. A good deal has
been said on the other side about the alb.
surdity OF including among these I'm
proper prosecutions indictments and
trials for crimss-pefjury and for
gerry, for instance. There 10 truth In
what has been said on both sides. OF
course there was no bargain between the
Federal administration and the State ad.
miniatration, or between the Republican
party and the Democratic party; and the
attempt to create the impression that q
secret and mysterious contract OF this
sort was made is n ridiculous waste Of
effort. There was, however, an under.
standing-not private and hidden from
mems eyes, but public and as broad as the
country, "a clear and open a. sunlight
could make it-that the withdrawal Of
the troops from the Southern Capitals and
the adoption Of new course toward the
South were the end Of the contest Of re.
construction. With this understanding
there was an implied agreement that this
contest should not be reopened by any.
thing in the shapeol political prosecution
or persecution; and whosyer, North or
South, should violate this implied agree.

SPEAKING OF the scheme to utilize the
aood.water Of the Nile, the Scientific
AoRtNy thus represents 1t:
Another gigantic engineering project
has been suggested, namely, diyerting a
portion Of the flood. water Of the Nile into
the deserts Of Nubis, Libya and soodan.
As Il Ia we'll known, the main stream Of
the Nile is fed by the great equatorial
lakes Of Africa, and It's annual inunda-
tions are caused by the thrush Of torrent
water, laden with soil from the fertile
slopes OF the Abyssinian plateau. The
sifs Is now for the most part deposited in
the bed Of the Mediterranean, where it is
gradually forming q new Delta. Sir
Samuel Baker, In letter TO the London
TSme,, alter rehearsing these facts; pro.
poses plan by which not only the water
Of the Nile, but the mud which which it
now deposits wasliully, may be utilized
as q means Of fertiliEing the deserts south
Of Egypt BE proposes, by suitable en-
ginneeripg work, 10 divert portion Of
the Nile tlood-water into these deserts,
where Il can deposit It's rich sediment In
the sands, and also irrisate them so as to
transform them into "cotton fields that
would render Epgland Independent Of
America He would construct sluices
and dams at different points Of the Nile;
at the cataraets, for instance. These
dams and sluices, by enabling craft TO
pass the cataracts, would also render the
Nile nayigable from tho Mediterranean
to GondoEoro.

TIE New York banks hold about sS2,,
100000 Of specie now, gain OF $4,000,
600 since the new year. Three Of the
banks are said to have put their Capital
In gold and to have returned TO the gold
basis. This would necessarily be-a work
Of some time, pending the repayment Of
currency loans and the completion Of
other transactions, but the adoption Of
such policy Is not improbable. The
amount Of specie generally rises at this
season Of the year. and in January 1877,
was over sS5,0OOoOO 10 the New York
banks. They hold specie to nearly hall
their capital to-day, and to an amount
much larger than their outstanding cir
culation, which is now about 100000
The Boston banks hold about s50oo,oo0
In gold.

MORNING FEBRUARY To- 1910

toward their opponents, They have .
firm hold on public favor. The real con-
yictions as well as the prejudices Of the
people bind them 10 the Democratic or.
ganization. But whether the party can
or can not afford to be Just, no Southern
State can afford TO be ruled by u party
that Il not Just. There Is gen.
eral lack Of confidence In the stAbil-
ity Of law and order in the South,
which nothing will overcome but
the convincing evidence Of experience.
When It 10 shown beyond question
that Republicans as well as Demo.
Gratis can five quietly, safely, and on equal
terms with their felloW.citiEens In the
South, q new era will commence for that
section. Then, and not till then, 1t will
share the general distribution Of capital
and labor, energy and intelligence, which
has spread over the country In every
direction, but which, unfortunately, has
been arrested when II passed the Southern
border. In many ways the South Is on
a peculiarly sound footing. Il has nat.
ural resources In great abundance II
possesses many more OF the advantages OF
settled communities than did the West,
when, forty years ago, It began lis mar
yelous career; It's trade ia firmly estab.
lisbed and It's commercial credit good;
but Il does not make the progress 1t
ought, simply because Of the impression
made BY Just such follies as the prosecu-
tiou Of Anderson, that there is no settled
political order there.
This impression need not exist. It
would be very easy matter for the
Southern leaders 10 break II upin few
years by simply restraining their pas
sionate animosities, avoiding all useless
excitement, and managing their political
affairs with prudence, good sense, and
fairness. They Loaf one golden opportu-
nifty after the war was over. With reas-
enable seli-restraint and adroitnesS, they
could have promptly taken possession Of
their own Governments, and while giving
ample room to Northern men sincerely
and honestly identified with their new
homes, could have barred out the "car-
pet-baggers." This they neglected, pre-
ferring the qualification Of their hatred
and their vanity TO the service Of their
States and their country. The Anderson
incident implies that this foolish dispo-
sition Is not yet overcome; but, until !.
Is, the so-called victory Of local-self-
government In the South will prove
barren Of really beneficial results.
