No other country in the world can match
these figures, SO eloquent of the industry OF
a free people. The total wealth of Great
Britain is stated by Mr.. Mulhall TO be
S44, 100, 00o, 900, and that of France $37 ,200,-
100000. The wealth of this country per cap
ita is about $1,000; that of Great Britain,
$1,000, and that Of France something be-
tween the two. But we find other and more
eloquent contrasts in the above table. 1t will
be seen that houses (horaes) constitute the
largest item in it, speaking trumpet-tonsued
OF the provident care which is an instinct
with the American people. Reinforcing this
item comes tn at of farms, which is larger by
several millions than any other. Then there
are the items of cattle, and Of furniture,
which have a direct relation TO "home
life," making grand total of S30,015,-
10000, which largely represents the
value of the homes and farms OF
he people. Surely there is here abund-
ant reason to be proud and incentive
enough to push Us on even more rapidly in
the race which 30 far has borne such rich
truitage. Judging by the year just drawing
to close this is more than likely, and in
another hundred years these figures will per-
haps be quadrupled, and our country have
become the mistress Of the world, controlling
it's commerce and directing the destinies of
its people.

FREE SHIPS FOR LOUISIANA.
Free ships, which Louisiana, possessing
the only great Southern port of entry, par
ticularly needs; tariff reform, the lack of
which costs every Leuisianian considerable
money yearly, and civil-service reform,
which would reduce the personal taxes which
every Louisianaian pays for the support of
the government machinery, are all nom
partisan subjects OF great Importance. Let
Louisiana send TO Washington a few con-
gressmen competent to talk on these subjects
and manly enough to urge them, and poll
tics would soon become interesting in Louis
iana and in every other Southern State that
will 60 and do likewise.-New York Herald.
RAILROAD PROGRESS IN THE SOUTH.
In railroad building and railroad business
last year was unprecedented in the Southern
States. About 1900 miles of road were put
in operation, which is nearly 1000 more than
were built during the preceding year. The
gross earnings of Southern railroads last
wear reached sos, 100000. In 1880 they
amounted to S4S,000,000, and in 1879 to S4S
100000. The net earnings increased from
s14,000000 in 1879 TO $lS,000,000 in 1880,
and more than S24 100000 in 1881. These
figures speak volumes for the industrial and
commercial growth of that part OF the coun-
try. The natural advantages and resources
OF the Southern States are unbounded, and
their development must result in degree of
prosperity hitherto unknown in the South.
The extraordinary railroad progress which
we have noted indicates a marked activity in
The process of development.-New York Her

SOUTHERN INDEPENDENTS.
The New York Herald considers the pres
ent year an extremely favorable and promis-
ing one for Independents in the South. The
Northern papers ought to patent this
opinion, and keep it standing, like the
weather report, at the head of their columns.
They have been asserting and re-assertiDg It,
year after year, until it grows monotonous
and tiresome; and yet no Independents have
turned up anywhere in the South except
Malone and his gang. This year, least of
all, have they any reason 10 make this
claim. There have been two elections held
in Southern States this month, and in both
of these the independent dodge was run for
all it was worth. In Kentucky an in
dependent Democrat was taken up
against the regular Democratic nomi-
nee, while in Alabama all the factions, Re-
pubiicans, Greenbackers, etc, rallied around
the Independent ticket. What is the result?
In Kentucky Democratic majority of A.
I22 against Democratic majority of 31,951
in 1880, and 43,917 in 1879; in Alabama
Democratic msjority of 1907 against %,
467 in 1880. 1t would require a very skill
full mathematician 10 make any favorable
showing for indepepdentism out of these
figures. The Herald will have TO make

How PenusyIvanIa WIII Vote.

Hon. James M. Hopkins, q leading
Western Pennsylvania Democrat, who
nearly defeaGed Pattison and scooped in
the Democratic nomination for Cover
nor, Is summsring at the White Sui
phur Springs, where he has been inter.
viewed at length by Baltimore Sun
situation In his State. Mr.. Hopkins
answered frankly all the questions
asked, amongst which was the follow
ing:
"What is your opinion of the relative
strength of the five tickets in Pennsyl.
vania 2"
81 will hazard q rough guess. 1
place Stewards vote, as l have already
stated, at 100, 900 the prohibition ticket
will receive from 10000 to $4,000 votes (;
the labor vote will depend largely upon
whether or not the labor troubles con-
tinue until the election, and to that ex.
tent will effect the estimate upon the
two leading tickets, but 1 think Mr..
Armstrong will poll $4,000 or 10000
votes Gen. Beaver, the Cameron Re.
publican candidate, will poll 10000
votes, and Mr.. PatGison's vote may be
safely placed at 100000. These esti-
mates are based upon full vote, which
we are very likely to have, as, in addi-
tion to the State officers, we will elect
Congressman, members of the State
Legislature and many county officers" I"
1t will be seen that Mr.. Hopkins only
claims $4,000 majority for Pattison over
Beaver, which Is not as much as Demo-
Gratis usually claim when there Is no
division In the Republican party.

how he was CurAd.

Says the Springfield Republican:
Years ago there was pauper at the
almshouse who was always on the
point of committing suicide, much to
the annoyance of all the people who
had anything to do with him. Finally
the city physician invited him to ride
to town one day, and on tho way the
pauper remarked, Doctor, please give
me few cents to buy some arsnic, l
want to make an end of myself" Then
the doctor replied, "That's the reason
why asked you to ride, I shall take
you down to my Office and put couple
of drops of a certain acid on your
tongue. 1t will kill you is less than
half minute, and shall tell people
that you died in fit. Then the city
will bury you in good shape. Ths
pauper waited to hear no more, but
Jumped from the wagon and "bolted"
for the woods. His lips were sealed
forever after on the subject of sui
eide.
