The Charleston News and Courier
closes an article on the New South as
follows: "There are more attractions
for labor and capital in the South to-
day than in any other part of the
world, and both labor and capital are
quick to recognize the field where they
may be Employed to the best advant-
age. They are already pouring into
our territory, in small and widely sep
arated streams it may be, but the cur
rents once turned this way will never
be stayed or turned aside. The tide
will grow larger and stronger every
year, and the children of to-day will
see the flood ere they reach mans
estate. The South is growing, and it's
prosperity is growing with even more
rapid pace. Its natural resources can
not longer lie idle in the presence of
the demand for them, and its broad
acres cannot remain unoccupied in
view Of the population which is press
ing in on all sides in search of homes.
What the West has been to the East
for a quarter of a century, the South
is now to North, East and West alike,
and having every advantage of soil and
climate that lavish Nature can bestow
upon country, it is destined to out
strip both it's older and younger COM
petitors, and to win the first place in
sight of them and in spite fthem all. !"

Political speakers in this country
who use many words and say little
would do wisely to initiate Gladstone,
who in an address of about an hours
length to his constituents discussed,
in such a way as to give an intelligent
idea of them, twenty topics, among
them being the foreign policy of the
Liberal party with referenceto Afghan
istan, India, South Africa and Egypt,
and such domestic questions as local
government, land, registration, public
expenditure, changes in the House OF
Lords, the established church, gratui-
tous education, Ireland and the rival
party. It is scarcely necessary to say
that in his address Gladstone used no
superfiuous words.
