The shrek and hiss of political
malediction against the South have
been SO loud as to rise above the
assuring notes of Industrial develop
nlent and educational expansion that
are heard by dwellers in that section.
Probably in no other part of the coun-
try is there so little discussion OF
politics as at the South, and it is
equally probable that nowhere else
are the people facing the future with
moro healthy or better grounded
hopes. The newspapers Of the South
are filled, not with revolutionary or
even extreme political views, but
with discussions of railroad develop
nlent, of the opportunities for manu-
featuring that are afforded, of the
relative cost and efficiency of steam
and water power of the expositions
they contemplate, and Of the immi-
grafton they are looking for and in
viting. 30 interested and enthusiasts
tic are these refiectors of public
opinion, in regard to their CONNER
cial and industrial progress. that
they almost forget to reply to the
guerilla attacks of Northern dema-
gogues. This feeling is not local,
but general. 1t extends over every
part, and if less positive in one State
than others, that State is Virginia,
where a partisan fight, with repudia.
tion as the watchword, has been
forced upon the people by the Repub-
llcan party, and until this peril to
the States honor and credit is forced
back by the debt paying element,
there will not be that sense of secu-
rity that is favorable to the largest
prosperity But in South Carolina
the manufacturing question is being
considered with direct reference to a
speedy test Of its merits, and all
along the Atlantic States, from Vir-
ginia to Georgia, there are new move
incnts in railroads, which embrace
not merely single lines but systems.
The cotton exposition that is to bc
held at Atlanta is designed to give
the great industry that it represents
prominence that it never before Ell
loyed, even when invested with the
title and pomp and power of royalty.
Aside from its immediate object it
will serve good purpose in showing
to those still prcjudiced and skepti-
cal the resources Of the great State
and the greater section where the
exhibition will be held, and proving
it is industrial ambition and not poll
tical intolerance that is animating
the Southern people at the present
time. Among the commercial cities,
New Orleans once more rises from
her prostration and shows larger
relative improvement Cor the last two
years than any other city in the conn ,
try. The spirit of the people is
healthy and progressive. They have l
liked their eyes upon a great and
bright future, and they vii attain it
even though the political demagogues
snarl at their heels.- Boston Post.
