ment she is about to make In adding TO her
own aud the nations wealth. Her surplus
OF hundred million this year will fit her
for more than doubling that surplus next
year. and the next decade will witness the
south closely pressing the north In every
channel available for her industry. She
viii largely multiply her demand for iron
and coal within the next few years and
furnish iron and coal from her own mines
and furnaces, and the day Is close at hand
VIXEN the cotton Of the south will be SPIN
and mainly woven by her own magnificent
water power and labor, aud when her
furnaces and cotton mills dot the south
wherever needed. Every form Of diversi-
fed industry will follow. We hazard little
in saying that the next decade will present
more prosperous industry in the south than
in the north. Tennessee Tomahawk, Tay-

The wholesale removal OF "offensven
route agents In the railway mail service has
badly demoralized It,, thereby provoking
much complaint and annoyance as result
There are grave doubts as to whether the
new service will ever be as satisfactoryas IL
was during the period of corruption"
which preceded IT, IL will require more
than the three years which remains TO cdu-
cate those to whom commissions are given
from the primer up to theold standard of
efficiency. Before they get to be experts It

1.-THE Bryan, Ohio, Press
A party so corrupt as the Virginia Democ-
Tacy is shown TO be should never cry fraud
while its record on the "fraud business" is
so fresh. But the rogue generally cries
"stop thief" In order TO cover up his own
tracks. Just so with the Virginia Demo.
Gratis. They think by calling attention to
what they claim is fraud In Ohio the people
will loose sight of bourbon fraud and bour.
bon rascality In Virginia, Such false alarms
won't work, Mr. Bourbon Party; the people
know you, and ere this you would have
been thrown from power, but for the infa.
nous election laws you have put In force,
and the partisan tools you have placed in
power to carry out your internal intentions
that Of carrying the state for bourbonism
at any and all hazards. If there had been
anything wrong In the unseating of the
Democratic members from Cincinnati by
the Republican legislature of Ohio the
Virginia Democrat should be the last to call
attention to it. Shenandoah Press, New

Senator Ingalls's determined labor in be
half Of the proposition that the govern
ments accepting person ns a soldier shall
be proof Of his soundness at the time Of en-.
listment should commend him TO the esteem
of every man who served honorably in the
Union ranks. The only strange feature Of
the case is that any question was ever raised
in connection with this matter. It would
seem to appeal to the very best sentiment
OF great and prosperous people, that IL
perchance, person Of unsound body served
his country acceptably, he is entitled Il
more credit-consequently more pension
than II he had rendered the same servic,
with an admittedly -sound body.-[Westerl

Our makers will be doing their couu

coinage go on for a year or two more; lie
the silver out among the people; give then
all they want of it, and the problem vii

satisfaction Of all, in very few months
Dispense with the silver and gold certil
Gates and the treasury vaults will soon hav

President Cleveland has spoken "rlgh
out In meeting" his opinion Of the news

that its amazing capacity for lying has jus
become apparent to him. Winchester, Va.

Senator Butler, of South Carolina, is ap
posed to the admission of South Dakota
because Of its small population and somt
few other trivial reasons. The Washington
REPUBLICAN reminds the senator that nj
state was ever admitted into the Union
which had as large a population as ha
South Dakota-except Texas, which was
foreign country anneXed-and further re
minds the honorable gentleman that soutl
Dakota has three times the area of Soutl
Carolina, and "has more postoflices, NOR
newspapers, more banks more schools an
other evidences Of fitness to become
state" 1t may also be added that Sout
Dakota produces more hay, more wheat
more barley, more buckwheat, more Iris
potatoes, and more cheese that does Sout
Carolina; and in another decade will hav
more wealth and more population tina
two South Carolinas. BY all means IL
Dakota come into the sisterhood of states. =

The Republican members OF the Unite

this inability to agree has been a Republics
