GENERAL PRESS REVIEW.

The Leavenworth Times is published in
Kansas, aud IT has no love for the south, but
il sensibly says;
1.-The gro 18th Of manufacturing interest in
tile south is healthy and hopeful sign. a
diversified industry ia as valuable for Geors
ola and South Carolina rs for Pennsylvania
and Massachusetts,. The cotton maniac
ture of Georgia shows by the present census
an Increase Of 1876 per cent. over that OF
1870 The incresse Of Massachusetts, for the
same time is but 20 per cent. The cotton
mills of Georgia now employ 6 G7S hands and
have 200, 974 spindles They consumed last
year 1854 bales Of cotton, against 24,s29 IN
1870. There isno reason why cotton should
not be manufactured where 1t is grown, to
an extent at least to supply the local market.
The long, hot summers Of Georgia are not
favorable to continuous work in cotton
mills, and on that account at least the north
ern manufacturer will always have consid-
cradle advantage over southern competition
in the general market.
AS to the long, hot summers in the south
making against isctory work, there the
Times is ct fault. With plenty of vonsils-
ton the heat OF our soVthern summers does
not interfere with labor in the shade. 1t Is
the Horco rays OF the sun that eyorhost and
PROSTATE.
The Atlanta Constitution reads Alright the
manufacturing future Of tho south, and lot
not Texas be behind her sister states 10 hor
industrial enterprise:
The present decade will decide--snd the
south goes into the contest full Of pluck, hope
and ambition. In suite Of the present wan,
of capital, experience and skill, the south
will win--and win it will because all else ia in
its favor.
The Leedville Democrat, discussing the
proposition 10 prohibi! the manufacture
and sale Of spirituous, malt and vinous liq-
uors, takes strong grounds against any such
legislation, and among other things says:
Colorado is the youngest member of the
great family of statea. Her population is
composed of the most intelligent and enter
prising of the people of all the oihor states.
We would see her make this relrograde step
with great reluctance We would rather SEQ
her make stringent laws for the suppression
and punishment Of crime, and then leave
every man and bis own conscience TO settle
the question OF personal deceney and sobri-
oty as he choose.
We were not aware before the extreme
intelligence, refinement and general elegance
of the blue and .rod-shriei mining populo.

of tho mistake Of our notions concerning
these hardy, six-shooterp packing delivers after

u; that to abstain from the use of intoxicat.
ing liquors is retrogressive step. Verify.

The New York Herald tells this affecting
story;
A whole family-father, mother and child,
stood in police court yesterday. The man
was there 70 complain of his wife, whose in
temperate habits had ruined his business and
made his home miserable; yet rs the couple
waited Tor the justice the wronged man en-
braced and wept over bis wife, who seemed
equally sorrowlul and aifectionate, while the
helpless child was mado wretched by the EVIL
dent trouble of his parents Yet when the
woman who had just been so loving and
wifely was questioned by the Judge she
replied, al will drink as long as | live;
cannot help it.2 Tho case is terrible Illus
tration Of the influence of liquor over those
who submit themselves TO it, but il shows
also how much good there may be in persons
who, If seen only when intoxicated, seem
lost to all sense Of honor and virtue. While
love ia left to work upon the worst drunkard
may DO reclaimed il any ono of character,
tact and patience will undertake the work.
The New York Evening Express strikes
out straight from the shoulder in the right
direction. Why cannot provision bo made
to protect liio and property by public car.

something wrong in tho construction Of the
