THE LESSON OF THE sPINDLEs.

There are now 233 cotton mills in opera
ton in the South. They run over 1,000,-
coo spindles Yet ut the outbreak of the
war there We're hut two cotton mills in the
South, and six years ago but eighty odd
In fact, the South is only just awakening
to The fact that she has vast undeveloped
manufacturing capacity. Her water power
Is equal, and in many cases superior to that
of New England Her climate Is more
favorable to year-round labor, her mills
are iun less evpensivelY and they are con-
tiguous to the source OF cotton supply. But
her labor is less productive, and this fact is
the only equalizing one between New Eng
land and Southern cotton-manufacturing
But the greater lesson taught by the adj
vance of manufactures in the South Is the
non-necessity for slave labor, and the ca
pacity Of the people TO place Southern
prosperity upon the broad platform of self
dependence. In short, the new South is
finding out that it has strength; that dur

powers were kept at rest and afforded no
opportunity for the development resulting
from healthy exercise. It is being taught
the dignity and honorableness of labor, and
that family pride, political power, an aris-
tocratic class and a seryile race are not nee
essary elements in the sulstructure of good
society. All through the South to-day the
roar Of the iron mills, the whirr of the
spindles in the cotton mills, the crash of
the circular saw and the laundering of the
steam hammer are sounding the notes of
praise to free labor and its hand-maiden,
prosperity. The South is giant awaken
ing to a knowledge of its strength; beauti-
full woman Just made conscious Of her
charms; a land Just convinced of its capa-
bilities; people being converted from the
mouldy doctrine of the supremacy Of idle
ness; a vast section of a mighty nation
learning the lesson Of self-help, and
glorying in the discovery of the sweet
ness of bread earned by the sweat of ones
own brow Industrial development" is
10 be the watch-word of the South from
this time henceiorward rs a contempo-
rary well puts it, politics will proportion
ately decline as an industry, as true indus
trial progress is made in the South.

THEY BEG THE QUESTION.

The Eastern presS-at least number of
leading journals-are putting forward the
plea that the report of the Supervisors
committee at San Francisco upon the I'M
sanitary condition of Chinatown proves
nothing against Chinese civilization in
America. They hold that it demonstrates
simply and only the neglect and incapacity
of the San Francisco authorities. This is
very curt way of disposing of a very
grave subject, and simply begs the ques-
ton. These journals forget that whenever
city and State Legislatures have striven to
enforce such measures rs would prevent
human packing" and consequent filth
and ioulness in the Chinese quarter that
the Eastern press uniformly cried out
persecution" discrimination against
class" etc. In fact. no effort to prevent or
remedy the evils of Chinese quarters in
California has been made that the tedious
and yexatious delays of the law Courts
have not been invoked in behalf of the
Chinese, while the pro-Chinese Eastern
press has given the opposition to cleanli-
ness and regulation the moral support of
their expression, and inveighed against the
cruelty and inhumanity of Californians
There is degree Of blame attaching to
the city of San Francisco, and to all
California cities, for failure to rigidIy en-
force health ordinances against the Chi
nese, but ii should not be overlooked that
such tasks are herculean and exceedingly
difficult of accomplishment. Moreover. in
such efforts the authorities are compeIled
to oppose civilization antagonistic to orr
sanitary systems, and the basis of which is
subsistence of its subjects at the minimum
of expense, regardless of unsanitary results.
Because the Chinese are capable of living
as they do, and are insensible to those con-

Alleged Scheme to Defraud Insurance
Companies.
PATERSON (N.J9, August 11th.-The Cor
oner of Paterson, accompanied by the Chief
of Police. the Coroner of Hunters Point,
Long Island, and a couple of physicians,
went to the Lutheran cemetery, near the
latter place, to-day, to exhume the body of
a woman. On the way to the cemetery
Chief of Police Grant told a representative
of the Associated Press the following story
For two years past family named Bauer,
occupying a highly respectable position in
society, resided at Haledon. near Paterson.
The Bauers had previously resided in New
York city, and appeared to be people of
wealth. Early in last June Mrs.
Bauer was taken sick, and after ten
days illness died, as certified by
the attending physician, of peritonitis.
Mr.. Bauer seemed to feel the loss of his
wife deeply, and had an expensive funeral.
The memory of the late Mrs Bauer had
almost died out in Haledon, when some
strange rumors got atloat which startled
the community. 1t was learned that Mrs.
Bauer's life had been heavily insured in
several companies, and some peculiar cir
cumstances surrounding her illness and
death led to suspicion that she had been
murdered in order to obtain the amount of
insurance and defraud the companies. The
total insurance on Mrs Bauer's life was
$4,000. tits understood that the Equita-
bic Life Insurance Company paid the
amounts of their policies before the rumors
of traud got abroad. The officers of the
Mutual Reserve Company, learning of the
supposed foul play, after consulting with
the other companies, decided to refilse pay
ment until thorough investigation had
been made. The theories advanced by
them were that Mrs. Bauer had been
poisoned, or that she had been taken away
and another body, or dummy, buried
in the cemetery. Arriving ut the
cemetery the body was exhumed and the
coffin opened Upon being measured, the
body was found to be six inches shorter
than Mrs Bauers hight when she was
alive One of the physicians, VINO had
examined Mrs. Bauer when applications for
insurance were put in, said Mrs. Bauer had
pug nose and light hair, while the corpse
had Grecian nose and dark hair; but he
would not be positive on all the particulars
DrS. SattefthWalt ana CheeSeman, of New
York, then opened the body and tool, out
the intestines, which they examined and
sealed up. They refused to give the result
of their examination until they shall have
made more careful examination in New
York, where the intestines have been
taken. The body was placed again in its
coffin and reinterred. Louis Bauer, the
husband of the dead woman, to whom all
the policies were made payable, carries on

IN case pending at San Francisco it
has been shown that two Cinnamon hold
ing return certificates are not the men de
scribed therein. That these men pur-
chased these permits is established. 1t
adds to the proof that the business of sell
ing certificates is carried on in China. 1t
is altogether probable that white men are
at the bottom of such transactions. Judge
Hoffman expresses anxiety to punish one
Of these white offenders as an example.
But it is the case of catching the hare over
again. Dealers in these fraudulent passes
are securely intrenched behind the stolid
assumption Of failure to understand that
the Chinaman knows so well how to put on.

A State Monumental Association has
been formed, with the Governor of the

monument at the State Capital and on

but as comprehensive as the State area,

A SAN Francisco PAPER says that the
fact that the Courts of San Francisco held
two pugilists to answer for violation of the
law in pummeling each other in a prize
contest, has put damper upon sporting
circlea-by which is meant, of course. fsti-
cuff circles. sporting" is disgraced by
the appropriation of the term by plug
ugles who pound each other'- faces for the
amusement of crowd Huntsmen, boat
ing-men, lovers of hook and line and rod
and gun, and all such legitimate sportsmen
have reason to regret that they are classed
by the press in the same department with
the Sullivans and CIearys and other brutal
fellows who lay claim to belong to the
sporting circle. 1t is true that sporting
as applied to them, has meaning distinct
from the word when used in relation to
legitimate sports, But the press continues
to confound the two meanings and to put
mention of coursing, athletic exercises
yachting, hunting, fishing, etc, cheek by
jowl with accounts OF brutal bruising match
es. While sportsmen are making up
their minds to protest against this enforced
degradation-and the association in print.

WE condemned the injured husband
Crawford for accepting the salve of e25,00
from Sir Charles Dixie for his wounded
honor. But now comes the news that he
has returned the bride, and commenced
divorce proceedings with the distinguished
Radical leader as correspondent But this
was no spasm of virtue on the part of
Crawford. He has simply colluded with
the political opponents of Dixie, and is
bargaining his wifes virtue to them as
weapon with which to scarify the SHINING
Sir Charles. At the last moment Dixie
comes out with denial of the truth of
Mrs. Crawford's confession, and with pro-
testations of his complete innocence. Why
then, in the name of goodness, did he send
the check for G25,000 to Crawford? 1t is
all bad mess of scandal, and is Likely to
be stirred until it smells foulcr still. That
it will have a serious influence upon Eng
lish politics, as some assume, we do not for
a moment believe. Such things are soon
