Boston Herald Already the South,
without much stir aboutit being made,
is beginning to receive the powerful
aid Of Northern aud European capital.
The tranquility of that section since
President Hayes closed the last chap
ter in the page of reconstruc-
tion by removing the Federal troops
has Inspired confidence, both at home
aud abroad, in the conservatism of the
Southern people. Within year and
half there has been subscribed for
investment in that portion of the
South lying east Of the Mississippi
river and south of Virginia and Ken
lucky the enormous sum Of 100000
600. OF course the bulk of this in
vestment goes into railway construc-
ton, but, aside from the development
of transportation facilities, the agri.
cultural resources of the South have
not escaped the notice Of capitalists.

Cotton manufacturing is attracting the
attention of Northern investors, sever.
al million dollars having been raised
for the erection of largo mills in
Georgia and Alabama. The sum of
$3,0O0,000 has been subscribed in New
York to operate an iron mine in Ter .
nessee, and a Pennsylvania steel com
pany is about to invest $S00,0OO
in q similar industry at, Bir-
mingham, Ala. The enterprise, which
is to drain the Florida everglades, and
so redeem a tract of land as large as
the State of New Jersey, has a eapi-
tai of S5,000,000 behind it, and so
much more will probably be needed
to complete the stupendous task. The
new railway which is to be run west
from the Atlantic to the banks of the
Mississippi, will open up in Northern
Alabama, perhaps the richest coal
and iron beds on the continent, and
thgs give . powerful impetus to the
industrial development of the South.

place a boy as inspector, who never
treated case Of yellow fever in his
life. The utility Of quarantine is
doubted by many able men in and out
OF the medical profession. A strict
enforcement of it imposes great hard
ships upon traders and upon com
merce. Then, in the name of God, if
we have to endure its hardships, do
give us the best Of its benefits, and
when in the future the antiquarian
tinist points to the results of this
years work as an argument against it
let it not be said in reply, that we had
a boy as a sentinel, who could not tell
case Of yellow fever from an inter
mittent.

ANYHOW, give the young mana chance,
and If there is any evidence of his in
competency, except his youth, pitch into
the old doctor who appointed him. Av-
alanche, 9th.
Yes, give every young man, and old
one, too, a chance in.the race Of life, so
we say, yet we would not be in favor
Ofplacing an inexperienced landsman
in command of an ocean steamship.
He might be a graduate, might be of
good family, and well educated, but
that would not fit him for such trust.
No steamship company would place its
property and the lives of the passen-
gers in such hands. Quarantine
means to keep out yellow fever if any
should come up the river in boats, as
in former years, or it is cruel decep-
tion. This is not time to make ex.
periments or take chances. There are
experienced doctors OF the highest
standing in the Mississippi Valley
who do not make $3.50 per month, and
would gladly accept such a salary at
the hands Of the government. 1t begins
to look like the Washington authorities
do not want any such, but prefer those
who cannot set up a vigorous
opinion of their own. Suppose the
young man who received his diploma
only this last spring should make a
mistake and let case of yellow fever
come into Memphis, what sort of an
exodus would follow and what com.
motion there would be over half the
country Suppose, on the other hand,
in an over cautious spirit he makes a
false alarm. Either way it would be bad
enough, and it would be regretted that
he had been given such a chance. We
cannot afford to give any inexperi-
enced person such a chance. We
speak in the interest Of the public at
large, and not for or against any mans
personal interest 1t is a question in
which the lives and property of the
people arc involved, end it is in
their behalf that we protest against 3
sham quarantine.

A New Monument Over Tweed's

A new monument has been erected
over the grave of William NJ. Tweed
in Greenwood Cemetery, at cost OF
about $4,000, and bearing the inscrip-
tion:

1923. Died April l3, 1873.
Mary Jane Skaden, wife of William
NJ. Tweed, born March %, 1926, died
Feb. 13, 1880.
At the foot Of each grave is a gran
ite block, on one of which is the word
Father" and on the other word
Mother" The family plat is sur
rounded by granite posts connected by
ratings, II also contains a monument
erected BY Mr.. Tweed to the memory
Of his parents, and smaller memorials
marking the grave Of histwo children.

THE Atlanta Exposition which
opens on the 9th Of October to be
kept open the rest Of the year, has
taken the more pretentious name of
THE Atlanta Cotton Exposition and
Worlds Fair" The attaches are to
be uniformed after the manner of the
Centennial officials and employees.
Nashville has taken active steps to be
well represented at this exposition,
and if Memphis is to put an appear
ance it is time her business men were
making a move, as there is only two
months to go on. We have some of
the Vice Presidents but that is
vain aud empty honor unless the city
has some representation Of its trade
and industry on exhibition. The orig
inal intention of Mr.. Kimball and his
associates six months ago was merely
a cotton exhibition, but it received
such encouragement from all direc-
tiOns that the scheme soon developed
into q general industrial exhibition.
The leading papers of New York and
other large cities have given a liberal
space, and it is looked upon as an evi-
dence Of the great vitality, the recu-
perative power and progressive ten
denotes eff the South. A commits
sioner has been appointed to work up
Europe, one for Canada, another for
the Eastern States and another for the
Western States. OF course cotton is
the central idea still, but the whole
world is invited to send in its natural
products and manufactured articles.
1t is stated that two large cargoes
have already sailed from the Old
World. Every invention and art and
product can have fair showing. Over
5000, 900 have been subscribed, much
Of this in Northern cities, which shows
the interest they take in building up
the Southern market and establishing
closer commercial relations. The sum
of $4,000 will be given in premiums on
the best competitions in raising
cotton. There are seventeen com,
petitOrs who have sample crops Of
cotton growing on the Exposition
grounds This viii be IA great novelty
to many Northern visitors, who have
never seen cotton in field, unless
from a railroad train. All the other
leading Southern products will be
represented. 1t will bring the people
of both sections together; it will show
to the people Of the North what kind
of people live in the South, and give
them some idea of what the vast ca
pacities Of this section are. 1t will
give the Southern people greater con-
fidence in themselves, and inspire
them with ambition to compete with
the markets and manufactures of the
world. The exhibition cannot fail to
| be great benefit in commercial and
a political sense. The people of At
lanta first showed that they had pluck
and energy and confidence in them
selves. This being demonstrated, it
followed that they soon had the conf
dence and assistance of others. The
Exposition will be a grand success,
and Memphis, larger place, cannot
we'll afford to have no exhibit on the
ground. Let us hear from the Cotton
Exchange, or any public spirited en-
terprising citizens outside.

STORM IN snINNEsOTA.
Great Damage Done I'm BIinneaP-
oils and Surrounding
Country.

ST. taJL, August "A severe
storm swept over this section of the
State this evening and extended as
far as Menomenee, Wisconsin. The
greatest damage was done in Minneap-
oils. For time it really appeared as
if the city was to be swept by gen.
uine cyclone. A house in process of
erection by Frank Lee was wrecked.
lightning struck the barn of Andrew
Paulson, which was totally consumed.
County Surveyor Plummer, who was
in Brooklyn township when the storm
struck that point, says that the storm
could be distinctly heard for some
time before its arrival, and after its
passage it was found that the damage
was confined to hay and grain stacks
which were leveled and scattered
about the country. Small grain il
the fields and stacks were blown dowr
and badly damaged. 1t is impossible
to leara the amount of damage dOnt
in the line of the storm for the wirei
are wrecked in every direction.

IT is said that there are 1900 people
in the custom house Of New York. Of
whom, according to his organs, only
three represent the personal patron
age of Mr.. Conkling. 1t would be
nearer correct, perhaps, to say that
only three admit openly that they
represent Conkling. The others that
he worked in, now that he is out of
power, no doubt deny it.

CONGRESS has constituttd d a Nation
al Board Of Health and appropriated
thousands for its maintenance, in or
der, if possible to prevent such ter.
rible disaster as occurred to health and
business in 1873. If quarantine can
accomplish this object, we cannot cor
rectly compute Its importanCe-thous-
ands of lives. and millions in money
depend upon its efficiency. Then is it
not very pertinent question to ask,
are we not in all the departments ap-
pertaining to quarantine entitled to
the best2 And especially are we not
entitled to this in that position, where
the appointee has to stand as a SEN
tinel to warn us of and prevent the
approach Of the enemy-wOuld We
place blind man on duty as a senh-
nelor mar defective in vision? Would
we take scholarly man who has stud
led the topography Of a wilderness upon
a mSp as a guide, or would we select a
man who had traversed all of its paths
again and again, until they were as
familiar to him as the faces Of his own
household? But il is useless to multi
ply examples. We are all familiar
with men who are learned, and yetare
learned fools, and never of any utility
as practical men. Now, it simply
amounts to the same thing in the case
of inspection at a quarantine station,
where everything depends upon a
practical and familiar acquaintance
with the appearance of yellow fever
patient. We do not want a man who
has all the theories, to be found in
books in regard to it. We simply
want a man who will recognize when
he sees it, and it is the acme Of stu
pidity to suppose any one can do this
who has never seen and treated the
disease again and again in all its phases.
The Quarantine Inspector has a case
of fever. 8e asks himself the ques-
ton, "What is this, malarial or yellow
fever?" How is he to answer it-by
reference to his books, or shall he
wait and send to the city for some one
familiar with its appearance Meu
familiar with the disease, through long
years Of experience, often find it diff
cult to decide, and yet there is some
thing about the general appearances Of
case of yellow fever which you can
scarcely put into language, that often
enables the man Of experience to de.
eide with promptness. One of ouI
Oldest and most experienced physi.
clans in the Mulbrandon case called
Others to his aid in order to reach a
safe decision. Now, with this fact
before us, we ask, in all honesty and
fairness, is it not converting the
whole affair into a contemplate
farce, and farce which upon the mex
lifting of the curtain, may be convert
ed into terrible, CHASTITY tragedy t
