TO the American who loves his cOun-
try and is jealous for its honor, the
thought that the flag of his country is
practically banished from the various sea
ports of the world is painful beyond ex-
preston. The American traveller to Flu
rope, Asia, or Africa, or even to the for
eign ports of the American continent,
sees English, French, Italian, Scandi-
navian and other flags often in profusion,
but rarely do the inspiring folds Of the
stars and stripes cheer his eye. This Is
the more vexatious that the exclusion is
of our own making. Not very long ago
no flag, except perhaps the English.
waved as universally around the world as
our own, and our own hands and wills
have dashed us down from the proud
eminence we had occupied. To-day the
tonnage of Great Britain amounts to
S,447 900 tons, our own to l.36O,-
600 tons, of which only 49,
600 is in steamships. The cotton and
wheat we sell, and the tea and coffee and
dry goods we buy, are brought and taken
away by foreign vessels. Foreign vessels
carry all over Europe the Mexican, South
and Central American, and the West
Indian trade that might be our own.
The Englishman can buy a ship wherever
he can get it cheapest, abroad or at home;
should he build his own the material to
do so is untaxed. An American cannot
have a ship registered under u laws
unless it is built in this country, and
built of taxed material. He can have no
partner unless the partner also be an
American if one ofthem be a naturalized
citizen, even, however small a share he
may own, if he reside more than two
years outside the United States the
registry is forfeited-it becomes a foreign
ship. An American ship sold to foreign
ers can never regain its registry, even
though an American become its owner.
No American ship is allowed the protec-
ton of the national flag if it was purchased
of foreigners. A slight change that
improves nothing was made at the late
revision of the tariff-if an American
builds a ship for a foreigner to sail in
foreign waters, a portion of the material
may be had free of tax; let him build
one for an American and full tax must
be paid. So we might go On detailing
one provision after another made against
the American citizen, by and in his own
country. The effect is the Punishment
self Punishment of the American flag
from southern seaports, such Punishment
as led Chili-in our negotiations with
her about Peru-to say in her newspa-
pers that no attention need be paid to
United States claims, for that country
possessed no ships by aid of which to
enforce them. What does the young
patriot, proud of his country; what does
the old patriot who remembers the past
glories of American shipping, think Of
this style of things? The remedy is to
require Congress to permit Americans to
buy ships wherever they can buy them
cheapest, then we can carry away our
own products and seek abroad for our
own customers, and employ our W
sailors.

A /. an and His Wife Done to Death by a
Thief.

TOLEDO, o., October pa special to the
Erening Bee from Wauseon, o., gives partic-
ulars OF An atrocious murder committed
five miles from there Tuesday night. A
farmer named Geo. Williams drove into
Wauseon that evening with a load of clover
seed, for which he received quite a large
sum. After his return home nothing was
seen of him or his family by the neigh
bors for two days, and last evening search
was instituted. In the barn was found
the ~lifeless body of Williams, his head al
most severed from his body. His wife was
found in the house, with her head split
open and her brains oozed out, while a six
weeks-old child was found on the bed,
nearly starved. Money and valuables
known to have been in the possession of
the family are missing. Last night the
marshal arrested a man named johnson
who had in his possession a watch known
to belong to Williams. He was held to
answer the charge of murder.

OF PROGRESS
What the South is Doing In the Direc-
tiOn Of Increased Manufactures,
Diversified Farming,
Trade and Mechanical Industries,
Freight Facilities by River and
Rail and Rapid Transit.
A Surrey Of the Whole Field That is i'm
the Highest Degree Encouraging
to All Glasses.

The growth and progress of the South is
lions of tongues. 1t attracts the attention
of the people of the North and the West
and Of Europe, and is regarded by them
as the most astounding work of the re-
markable century now drawing to a close.
That a country raided and decimated by
war, swept clean of all its capital and re-
sources, crippled by the loss of hundreds
of thousands of its best and bravest men,
should in the brief space OF eighteen years
recover from it all, rehabilitate depeted
homes, make gardens where carnage once
was rife and homes where desolation
ragged for four long years is something the
European mind cannot grasp and the Amer
lean hardly dares to believe. But the facts
are that way, as the APPEAL has time and
again shown from the very best of all
sources of information, the press. Diver
siied farming and manufactures are work.
ing their will and way, and the South is
teeming with plenty and smiling in the
midst of abundance. The New York
Herald, commenting on the splendid
work lone for our section by the New
Orleans Times Democrat in Speeding
a knowledge of the facts of the South's
growth and progress, says: "These facts
are daily becoming more known and ap-
preciated, not only in the South, but
throughout the North. The Atlanta Elk
position brought the Northern and South
ern people together, and gave the world a
better knowledge of the great resources of
the South. The fruits of that enterprise
appear in the striking progress which has
since been made. The exhibition now in
progress in Louisville will serve the same
good ends, while still more valuable re-
suits are promised by the Worlds Indus
trial Exposition to be held in New Orleans
next year. The tide of Southern prosper
ity which set in but a few years ago is
steadily rising, and there is every sign that
it will continue to rise. The Southern
people have gained everything and lost
nothing by turning from political turmoil
to industrial activity. With slavery they
never could have advanced to their pres
ent state of prosperity. Their gain OF ma
terial wealth more than offsets the loss of
their slaves. The country has every rea-
son to rejoice over the progress the South
is making. Increase OF Southern wealth is
increase of national wealth."

Mr.. Brown doubts if he can secure the de-

During three years the increase was
