Small Industries.
The Atlanta Constitution SAYS /:

u6 AtIuuLd OUHotttHtUH Sd1
If a proposition were made to estab.
lish a ono hundred ton! iron furnace in
ATLANTA, public meeting would be held
ito favor 1t, land. would be offered for its
location, and if necessary buildings
would be torn down to make way for it.
Such is the superstition on the subject of
big industries.
We showed on yesterday that the four
trunk factories of Atlanta employed
three times as many people and paid
four times as much wages, as one hun
dred ton iron furnace. We showed that
they paid more profit. And that all this
was done on one.sixth of the capital it
would take to establish an iron furnace.
Aud yet What have we done for our
trunk factories? They started in garrets
or cellars, without any public help. In
competition with northern factories they
have fought for and conquered the terri
tory of the South Atlantic States. And
now as we have shown, without recogni.
ton or notice, or concession, they have
come to be worth to the city three or four
iron furnaces that would cost a half
million dollars.
1t is our small industries that give
Atlanta her amazing vitality. 1t is these
half:hidden little shops that make her by
the incontestable figures Of the last cen
sus the first manufacturing city of the
State. Let us stand by our small indus
tries and they will make us great and
prosperous people.

The report that the Chinese Govern

= The report that the Chinese Govern
ment is increasing its armament with
great haste and has ordered 100000 rifles
from England is looked upon with no
small degree of suspicion in Washington.
It is. interpreted to mean that the Chinese
Government proposes to take advantage
Of the opportunity while the United
States is upon the verge of crisis with
Mexico to force this Government, through
the American interests in China, to pay
the Chinese Government $4,000, as
proposed in the last Congress, on account
of the depredations inflicted upon Chi.
nese in the Rock Springs massacre in
Wyoming Territory. The Chinese in.
demnity bill failed to pass the House, last
session, after going through the Senate.
The Chinese Government at one time
made peremptory demand of remuner.
alton growing out Of this tragedy, which
by reason of the failure of the passage of
the bill, was never granted.

Clevelana's Lack of Sympathy.

WASHINGTON, D. G., Sept. 25.-A
local paper publishes significant inter.
view with William Falk, q merchant of
Charleston: He is quoted as using this
bitter language:
One thing seems to have been pretty
we'll demonstrated by the recent calamity,
and that is that our President was not
equal to the emergencies Of the situation.
It was reserved for Queen Victoria to set
him the example which common human
ity should have dictated, and while our
people did not particularly desire pecuni-
ary aid, they thought the President Of
the United States might have telegraphed
his sympathy for their affliction. South
.Carolinians will not forget this slight in
hurry. I can tell you, and it would
not surprise me to see Cleveland dele.
CATION defeated at the primaries before
the big convention takes place in 1888.
Our people will pay off their score in
this manner. You may be sure Cleye.
land will never get my vote for reelection.
This sentiment is growing all over the
South, and no excuses made at this late
day will palliate or condone either the
carelessness or forgetfuluess of the strick.
en- people of Charleston by one who
should have been the first to extend con-
dolence.
What the Charleston merchant says 80
bluntly has been muttered BY other
Southern people. The employees in the
departments have contributed several
thousand dollars in sums ranging from
80 cents up. Large money gifts were not
looked for from either the President or
his advisers, but it was felt that they
should have made known their sympathy
iu some public way. All that the Gov
ernment of the United States has done for
the stricken Southern cities was by the
War Department, which did manage to
loan sixty tents. At a time when their
need was greatest the announcement was
made that-nothing more could be done.

Never More a Candidate.

CINCINNATI, September 21.-At IL
o'clock last night the Thurman, Club
about one hundred strong, headed by
band of music, marched to the Gibson
House and rendered serenade to the
distinguished Ex. Senator, in whose honor
the club wss named. Judge Thurman,
in responding said:
My young Friends: When l was boy
at school many years ago, one OF the
Textbooks I studied was Latin one,
"Cicero on, Old Age, and l remember
we'll, when I read that beautiful treatise
in which the author sets forth in the
most beautiful and impressive manner
that consummation in old age which
would in some degree be a compensation
forythe, trials of youth, l, wondered if
that lot would ever be mine. Now, when
/ look down upon your heads and see
your bright faces, and know who. you are
and what you are, I feel something of
regret that the old author never had a
Ciceronian club to honor and console
him in his old age, as you have mine. l
thank you, first for the ahonor you have
done an old man intaking his name for
your, club, and, second, for the kindness
you have manifested toward me by your
attendance tonight, and your beautiful
serenade. My friends; no enc can say
you sre worshipping rising sun. No,
It is 8 setting sun, low down in the hori.
zon, and fsst disappearing forever. I
shall never hold another Office, nor shall
I ever be candidate for office; hence it
will not be in my power to reward my
friends or. to punish my foes. You come
without hope or; fear in that respect,
merely to honor an old fellow, who from
boyhood has been a Democrat, and who
until his dying day will be Democrat,
and who is pleased not to be. forgotten
while he still lives. 1t is my pride and
boast that / have always been strong
and steadtast adherent Of the principles
of Democracy, and when my dying day
comes, as soon it must, and my eyes are
turned to behold the sun in the heavens
for the last time, it will be the eyes of q
Democrat that will look upon that orb.
And when I am under the sod, and some
one stnmbles over my grave, there will

FMcGee, of the geological survey, in an

! great earth quake in the Southern States
next Wednesday, said 81 takeno stock
! in the prediction whatever. It is not at
gall prediction of science. Earthquakes
cannot be- anticipated. To predict an

ti6c, and nobody need be the least appre-
.hensiye on account of the, proclamation
Of Virgins. The people Of Charleston
{ are as secure now as ever they were-a
great deal safer, lishould say, because the
earth there, is more solidi6ed, more set.
tied and firm, By reason of the recent
Quake. and now there is 80 much less

The scientists in Washington take no
