THE New Orleans Times Democrat reioices
over the vast resources of the South that
"there is hardly any limit to the possibilities
of Southern manufacturing industries, and
that the time is near when the South will
utilize in manufactures the greater part of
the raw materials with which nature has so
generously endowed this section of our coun-
try" This is source of satisfaction to the
North as well as to the South. Let all the
great resources Of that portion of the Union
be developed and worked as far as possible
into merchantable shape in Southern mills
and factories. The North is already wealthy,
and the South will be- if only she takes adj
vantage of her possibilities Wealth in the
South means increased prosperity in the
North. With labor free everywhere, the
contest is en-handed, and the men of pluck
and perseverance will win. 1t is matter of
congratulation that the South has made such
strides in business and trade since the war.
A rich field of commercial development

means increased intelligence, and both to-
gether mean increased comfort and happiness.
The South is rising grandly from the wreck
and waste of war. The mingling smoke of
busy mills, North and South, will soon obliter-
ate all sectional lines, and the people will
know that they are one people in all that
goes to make up social and business success.
The one hand is beginning to wash the other,
mutual interests are gradually drawing the
people together, and the narrow prejudice
that calls for a solid South will soon be swal-
lowed up in an era of commercial good will
Let the South lay hold of the advantages at
hand, proclaim perfect political freedom, and
invite the world to help her grow rich and
enjoy riches with her.

DURING the past week Minneapolis beat the
record on making -four and turned out no less
than l7i,O66 barrels, or at the rate of 2S.5I1
barrels day. Despite this enormous output it
is said that the market is dull and inactive, the
work being on old orders. The amount of flour
made in that city in one week would furnish an
army of 100000 men with bread for about a
year and half, or one ordinary man for 155, $50
years In the latter case it might become a
trife musty, and we would not advise the pur-
chase by any family that has not the money to
spare without cramping itself

day. If this is done, and full vote thus Sc

THE LAW AGAINST THE CORRUPTIONISTS.
A Democratic Legislature did the people a
good service in passing a stringent law against
less than $40 nor more than 81 900, and dis
reimbursement and disqualification for Office
for any period not less than eight years. The
law seems to have been made for actual serv-
ice, and further provides that any person sus-
pected or guilty of violating any of the Sec
tons of this act may be summoned either be-
fore the grand jury or in the Circuit Court,
and compelled to testify in relation to the
same. This law makes it easy to defeat the
purpose Of the large corruption fund now be-
ing raised by assessing the saloons. 1t is an
open secret that the saloons have been re-
quested to pay into the general fund the sum
of 800, or as near that amount as the indi-
vidual dealer may be able to pay. This, in
addition to the large sums contributed by the
wholesale dealers and brewers, will make an
available fund of from $25, 900 to $40 900.
Few men can be found simple enough to be-
lieve that this great amount of money can be
placed in city election without illegal use,
and for the purpose of corrupting the election.
This is all the more contemplate
vicious and threatening, because of the
reason that the principal object is to escape a
very reasonable and very just amount of taxa

UNFAIRLY contributed to defy the laws. The
people cannot afford to countenance or permit
such unscrupulous onslaught upon the election
system. If the liquor interest can command
a majority by argument or persuasion, they
must be given control of affairs until such
time as the majority shall elect to take con-
troll from them. On the other hand
if the majority desire that others
than saloonists and gamblers shall have
charge of the city's affairs no amount Of
bribing, threatening or fraud should be
allowed to interfere with the will of the ma
jority. If saloon keepers can buy immunity
from taxation, and gamblers compel the multi
fication of laws against gaming, it is an
expensive farce and worse, for the people of
Indiana to elect and convene Legislature
biennially for the purpose of passing laws for
the benefit of the good and the restriction of
the vicious. The bummers and bar
tenders of Indianapolis must not be
allowed to rule the city. The
sentiment of great majority is unalterably
opposed to such humiliating and dangerous
experiment. This sentiment must assert it.

city from the "Virginia-avenue hoodlums,"

was dangerous for man to pass
their loafng places, and the saloons

difficult and desperate undertaking to GUST
them, for they were backed to man by the
saloons, because they were among the saloons

or voice against them, were he so inclined.

THE ONE HUNDRED DOLLAR TAX.

The attempt to make capital for "Cottrell-
ism" out of the fact that the present Council,
which is Republican by barely one majority,
has not passed 800 tax law, will defeat it
self. In the first place, the Republican mem
bers, while large majority of them favor in
creased saloon taxation, were not elected on
that issue, and hence cannot command a solid
party vote. An adverse vote On the part of
even one of the Republicans changes the ma
jority from the Republican to the Democratic
side. It is apparent, therefore, that legislation
on this question cannot be accomplished as the
Council now stands. It is of record, how
ever, that the Republicans have repeatedly
loon tax to $780, and have voted almost solid
ly for that proposition, and it was defeated
only because the Democratic members voted
equally solidly on the side of the saloons The
issue was drawn almost as close then as it
now is in the pending election. The Repub-
licans, without word of pledge before cleo
ton, have put themselves on record almost as
a unit in favor of higher tax on the saloons;
the Democrats, true to their instinct, and ever
mindful of the needs of their party,
have championed the saloons, and put
upon the people in general the
burden Of taxation created by
and justly belonging to the liquor traffic. 1t
would be equally pertinent to demand of the
Democratic party why it did not put into
practice the civil-service reform rules when it
was in power thirty years ago. But there
need be no mistake about it now. The Re-
publican party has pledged itself and its can
didates to increase the tax to 800, the pur-
pose being to require the saloons to pay the
expense the traffic puts upon the people.
With the majority of the Council and Board
of Aldermen Republican after this election, it
will be within the bounds of reason to expect
that the saloon tax will be increased to
800. If they fail to do it, then the people
will justly hold them recreant to duty.

This Is u True Story.

When first came to Nebraska, over twenty
years ago, the snakes on the prairie were
thick as the grass on the hillside. "Mossas-
sngers"-prairie rattlesnakes-were the most
numerous, but hideous great bull-snakes,
blow-snakes, adders and racers turned up
now and then. lived for while with an
old Missouran, and in log cabin with a
puncheon floor and dirt roof. and the snakes
crawled in and out under tn old half rotten
floors and logs, as the old man wouldn't have
any killed. When the old chap was away we
boys and the old woman used to drive them
Oft and killed some, but as soon as he came
back the snakes knew his voice, and came
out and curled up almost anywhere round the
place.
One old bull-snake had hole in the
corner. and used to come out regularly every
night and curl up behind the old woman's
chair as she and the old man smoked their
pipes together and he would never have il
disturbed. So it got real tame, and would &c
to sleep there. One day the old man went
to town and bought the old woman new
rocking-chair, something they never had in
the house before. A night or two after the
old lady was smoaking away and the snake
was doing just behind her, when she thought
she would try her new chair. She weighed
200 pounds, and when she tetered back and
came down on the snake he gave one yell
Eve heard out at the barn. and the end with
the head on made for its hole; the end with
the tail on stayed right there where the old
woman sat down on it. This is true story.
