che CHANGING SOUTH.

gentleman who has travelled extern
sively in the Southern States communicates
some deeply interesting facts to the Louis
vile Courier-Journal. social statement is
first made to the effect that
There are eighty-seven counties in Georgia
where a man cannot buy, beg nor steal a
drink of whisky, and none can be purchased
in the State, except in some of the larger
towns People are fanatical on the subject,
and in Mississippi they have gone to such an
extreme that they tax billiard tables at 81, 900
apiece, under the belief that they are device
for the encouragement of drinking. There are
only few foreign-born citizens in the State,
and the native American voters enact laws
satisfactory to themselves"
This is from a Southern Democrat to the
largest and most influential Southern Demo
cratic newspaper. The gentleman further
says:
1.-The South, by the way, is making rapid
strides, or, rather, portions of it are. You
who have not travelled through the country
and studied its people and institutions,
would be surprised to know the change that
is coming over the South. The evangelizing
influence of the cotton-mill and other indus
trial establishments is wonderful. The hands
in cotton factories are mainly drafted from
the class known as poor whites The poor
whites have heretofore had no place and re-
ceived not the slightest consideration. They
were between the ruling class and negroes,
and were despised by both. Their sons and
daughters have gone to work in the factories
and are earning more money than they ever
dreamed of. The possession of the small
sums they earn as wages has given them new
IDEAS and the young bOysand girls are going
to school and Furnishing up in a manner
that would not have been thought possible
4nr, A -
dawning III the South, and / verify believe
it will be an era of enlightenment and prog
ress."
This is also from Southern Democrat to
the paper which shrieks every day against
''the thieving tariff" and which desires once
more to wreck its party upon the old free
trade rock. The South had free-trade and
rection of the slave barous, with what result
the nation and the world knows. Although
desperately opposed, the Republican national
policy of free labor and protection to naUive
industry has forced itself into the South to
measurable extent, and the result is, as
stated in the columns of free-trade shrek
ing newspaper, that "a new era has dawned
and is dawning upon the South, "and that "the
evangelizing influences of the cotton-mill and
other industrial establishments is wonder
full" This gentleman suggests that those
who have not travelled through the country
would be surprised to know the change
that is coming over the South.' We suggest
that the editor of the Courier-Journal take
the trip, and he will possibly see whai it is
that makes Senator Beck, of his own State;
Senator Brown, of Georgia; Senator Voor-
hees of Indiana and other Southern men, in
favor of the protection policy against which
he invelghs with equal yehemenoe and i'm
potence.

THE railroad war is rank idfocy on the part

meantime, the rights of the public are not to
be ignored until these fools come to their

or the amusement of the men who hap

are public in their nature. They have been
built to accommodate the public, at the
sacrifice of private property and private
rights they exist only by the good will of

THE Des Moines Register says:

LAS thrilling scene as ever occurred in the
old Opera-hOuse, where so many thrilling things
have occurred, was the reply of General HarTi-
son to the Democrat in the audience who inter
rupted him with the Cry of the bloody shirt
again. The reply of the General was mag
ntcent in manner and so electrical in effect that
the reporters all stopped to listen TO 1t and to
look at the General, and never took down the
splendid burst of little speech at the time. We
give this nearly it: He was speaking of the
war and its issues, and was going along quietly
but strongly, when voice rang out from the
dress-eirce, The bloody shirt again. The Cen
erals eyes flashed fire at the words, an d spring
ing forward to the footghts and holding his
right hand toward the person interrupting him,
he said, with wonderful and electrifying power
which swept the audience like storm, Yes, the
bloody shirt againi l have seen thousands of
them on the field of battle, wet with the blood
of loyal men--and 1 would thousand times
rather march under the bloody shirt, stained by
the life-blOod of Union soldier, than to ma rch
under the black flag of treason or the white flag
of cowardly compromised The effect was
tremendous, and the audience cheered the in
spired little speech again and again for over q
minutes time. The Democrat knows now what
a cyclone is He knows, too, what reused
lion is"

INDIANAPOLIS is not so large or so wealthy
that it can afford to oppose new enterprises
or to have the town fenced in against new
railroads. 1t may be a good thing for mo-
nopolies to have control of the streets and
avenues of the city, but it is bad thing for
the business interests. Every new road that
enters the city brings business and trade.
The time has not been long since the people
voted bonus and right of way to every
new company that proposed to build a line
into or through the city. The citizens vol
UNFAIRLY taxed themselves to aid these enter
prises, and it does not become these aided
roads to prescribe other roads from enjoying
the right of entry, and the right to live and
compete for traffic if they can afford better
facilities or cheaper rates, especially as they
ask no subsidy and no bonus.

THE Washington Post, the Democratic Or
gan at the national capital, discovers that it
was Mr.. Holman who killed bill in Con-
gress to punish the counterfeiting of foreign
notes, bonds and securities in this country
Brazilian notes had been counterfeited, and
the State Department asked Congress for leg
islation that would punish such crimes The
committees of both houses reported that a
decent regard for good faith between nations
demanded the passage of such a law but Mr.,
Holman objected" to the bill and killed it,
on the ground that ''it was eentralization;le let
the States attend to it," The Post asks: as
this the kind of craftsmanship we want in
the White House? The country will some
time get its eyes open to the fact that Will
liam S. Holman has done a larger business
on a smaller capital than any politician in

which have come temporarily at least, to an

Cheap Whit, SpOngeS,

1t is well to be economical, says an
exchange, but there is no economy in
buying certain articles because they
are offered at low prices. Attention
has frequently been called, for in
stance, to the white sponges which
are offered for sale by street peddlers
and at cheap fancy goods shops. To
begin with they are not what they are
represented to be-namely, fine
sp jnges. On the contrary, they are
very coarse, as a rule, their high color
being due to a liberal use Of chloride of
lime. There would be no harm in
this artificial bleaching process were
the salt entirely washed out OF the
sponge by soaking it in clear water or
by a solution of IN anti-chlorine. But
this is not done, as your nose Will tell
you, and the result has been that people
who have used the spOnges for
toilet purposes have been affected
with inflamed and smarting eyes.
Concerning the use Of chloride of lime
by these dealers in cheap sponges, a
story is told by a New York paper
that it is to disinfect the sponges, a
necessary process, because of the pre-
vious uses to which they have been
devoted-wa-hing wounds on hospital
patients, and O.her service. 1t is dill
cult to believa that the hospital author
tiles would permit sponges once USED
by them TO be disposed of at any price
But the sale of them by thoughtless, il
not u%nprincipled servants, could easily
be effected without the knowledge O
the supervisors of a hospital. Even il
they are not sold by servants, they
may, SOME OF later, reach the rag
picker's hook and from them pass to
bleach kettle. The place to put then
where they will do the least harm i
the boiler furnace.

A Musical Bed.

The latest freak of a foreign visitor
to Paris, says a correspondent of the
Philadelphia Press, is, without doubt,
the order for a musical bed. Such an
article of domestic comfort wa
thought to be a myth, but an Indian
rajah has just ordered one from the
celebrated firm of Christopher Broth
ers. The bed is male of mahogany,
embossed with silver plates, artistically
carved to represent Venus and Cupid.
The ornamentation is principally in
the Indian style, but the carved roses
and intwined flowers are planned on
the delicate French style that is so at
tractive. The value of the material
alone that has been used in the cOn
struction of this novel piece of furni-
ture is $4,000 francs and before it is
completed it will be worth 60,000
francs.
The mattress is covered with light
blue damask satin, and embroidered
with gold flagree silk. The act of re-
clining upon this beautiful work starts
the musical box, which plays selections
from Gounod, THE Funeral March of
a Marionette' being the most attract
i've.
The greatest piece of mechanism yet
remains to be told. The spring that
sets the musical box in motion con
meets also with each corner of the bed
stead, where four figures of women
stand, carved life-size and painted to
represent living creatures. On being
started they gently wave the plumed
fans that are placed in their hands and
move their eyes s. naturally that a
casual observer might mistake them
for animated beings.
This is somewhat a strange bed
even for an Indian prince, hut as the
world grows to appreciate the sight OF
wealth more and more in everyday
life, it is to be presumed that many
innovations OF this nature will fine
their way into the mansions of thu
wealthy.
