DEVELOPMENT OF THE SOUTH.
Thirty New Cotton aud Wooden Factories
since January LIST, and Eighty-Six
Woodworking Mills.

The Trddesmdn, of Chattanooga,
Tenn, reports new industries actually
organized and erected in the South since
January 1, 1888, indicate no abatement
in its industrial growth. The reports
show great activity in cotton and wooden
factories Within the past month thirty
new companies have been formed, and
in most cases all the necessary stock has
been subscribed There is also much
activity in mining operations, the total
number of mining and quarryiug com
panies formed in the South since January
being fifty-siX. In wood working
branches, however, the development has
been greatest, the whole number of new
plants in three months being eighty six.
Reports also show that Southern timber
lands are in demand, chiefly by lumber
men from the Northwest. Over 500, 900
acres have been sold since January 1.
Northwestern manufacturers are erecting
mills in various Southern States.
WHAT THE MANUFACTURERS RECORD
SAYS.
The Baltimore Manufacturers Record
will publish this week its quarterly re-
port of the South's industrial progress,
giving name, location and character OF
business of every manufacturing enter
prise organized in that section since
January 1. The report shows that while
there were somewhat fewer large manu-
featuring and mining companies organ
lied during the last three months than
for the same time of 1887, there was a
large increase in the number and diversity
of small industries.
The Record reports that all over the
South small industries are springing up
to supplement the great iron works which
are now under construction. During the
second half of the year about fifteen OF
twenty of the immense iron furnaces,
which were commenced in the early part
of 1887, will go into blast. The number
Of new enterprises reported during the
first quarter of 1888, compared with the
same time in 1887, was 1,07j for the
former and 923 for the. latter. The
amount of capital and capital stock rep
resented by these new enterprises are

The new japanese Minister at Wash
ington is a man with history. His
name is Mutsu Munemitsu and he is one
of the greatest statesmen of Japan. A
correspondent of the New York World
had long talk concerning him with Mr..
Shiro Akabane, and from him got the
following interesting facts: "The new
minister has for years been connected
with Japanese politics. He is noted as a
financier and he was chief of the Bureau
which revised the tariff some years ago,
putting it on the basis of European
money. He has been Governor of Yoko-
hama and Chairman OF the Senate, which
is position much like that Of the Presi-
dent pro tenn. Of the United States
Senate. He was accused OF being con-
nected with Gen. Saigo's rebellion of ten
years ago, which was to overturn the then
Cabinet. l do not think that 1t was
proven that he was one Of the rebels. but
he was arrested as a political offender
and imprisoned 10. nVe years. DurlnS
his imprisonment he had house for
himself, but there were guards before
Its doors, and he was under military sur

As the Bubbles Rose.

Sir Walter Scott, when walking along
the banks of the Yarrow, saw Mungo
Park throwing stones into the water and
anxiousIy watching the bubbles that
succeeded. In reply to scott's inquiry
as to the object of his occupation, the

often he had thus tried to sound the

time had elapsed before the bubbles
rose to the surface. This was a slight

the Republican party is opposed to the re-

PROGRESS IN MINING.
Additional Facilities Required to

Special to the Globe

SENSATIONAL INCIDENTS.

A Dishonest Postal Officer-Treat-
ment of Insane-Galena High
way Robbery.
Special to the Globe
DEADwooD, June 22.-Two things
sensational have recently transpired.
The first was the arrest last Friday of
William II. Weber, former deputy
postmaster at Spearfish, for robbing the
United States mails. His populations
were small, and were made over year
ago. The government, however, was
unrelenting i'll its efforts to ferret out
the guilty party. and had perhaps spent
$1,000 before the arrest was accOmp-
1ished. Weber has confessed, and will
undoubtedly go to the penitentiary for
term of years. He refused to impli-
cate others strongly suspected of having
prOfited by his misdeeds, and who are
yet at large. Evidence against them is
accommodating, however, and before
many days elapSe one or two more may
be taken into custody.
THE OTHER SENSATION
was brought to light by the death of
Mrs. Barrett, who had been hOpeleSSly
insane for a number of years before,
and was some two months since re
turned from the Yankton asylum as in
that the woman had for two weeks been
confined in dark cell. two and one-half
feet wide by nine feet long. Only
pallet on the floor was provided for her
to sleep and rest on. Not ray of light
could penetrate to relieve the l0athSome
darkness and gloom of the pen, the at
| mosphere of which must have
been nOXiOus, sitting. The woman,
though weak, emaciated, and at no
times violent, had on no occasion been
taken from this place, not even for one
| moment, since the date of her confine
ment, until she was removed by the
county undertaken. When these facts
developed they caused widespread and
general indignation. The local press
took it up. and in unqualified language
condemned the commissioners for per-
hitting it. The censure bore fruit, and
next morning another unfortunate
woman, hOpeleSsly insane, and who was
confined i'll similar quarters to those in
which Mrs. Bennett had died, was re-
moved to very much more comfort
able and suitable place of habitation.

Oped Galena mines have entered a COM

started i'll the furnace by July 20. The
mines look we'll and are capable of fur
nishing enough high grade ore to keep
the plant in constant operation. The
monthly increase in bullion production
from the enterprise will not be less than
$4,000 per month. Negotiations are
also pending by which it is hoped the
big smelter will be blown in about the
same time.
HIGHWAY ROBBERY.
The first attempt at highway robbery
chronicled in the hills for number of
years was made few days ago at the
head of Strawberry gulch. The in
tended victim was Archibald -Beaton, a
wood contractor for the Homestake

Special to the Globe.
BRooKINGs, OAK, June 22-The crop
prospect in this vicinity was never bet
ter than at present. Vegetation has
made an unprecedented growth in the
last ten days. The farmers are all
hopeful and much new land is being
broken up this season.
The Farmers Alliance, under the
leadership of S. III. Goodfellow, are wax
ing up to their interests and many new
local alliances are being organized. The
great scheme of establishing a line of
elevators throughout Dakota on their
| own hook seems to be particularly at
tractive. The farmers propose to have
their own candidates in the field this
fall for Legislators.
The political pot has only begun to
simmer here. A few of the candidates
for county offices are busy setting up the
pins and a slight ripple is apparent.
on the surface of the congressional
cauldron. The prevailing sentiment
seems to be that Clifford is too sleepy
publicans express themselves as being
anxious to see the Democratic party in
this county get up thorough organi-
cation this fall in order to introduce a
question of principle, or at least of
party, into our campaigns, rather than
so much of personality. 1T the small
number of rustling Democrats would
bestir themselves the general impress
sion IS that they might put in one or
two of tie local officers right in this
Republican county. The vote on
county superintendent was fair repre-
sentation of the school voting strength,
though many not directly interested in
school affairs remained in their fields
at work. Under the present ey-
ecrable law the result of the
election cannot be declared for several
days, there being only from five to
fifteen votes cast in each sub-diStrict.
| The land Office ruling compelling claim
| ants to hold timber claims for twelve
years before proof can be made is de-
nounced as an outrage in the face of the
| law which reads i'll substance: IF, at
| the expiration of eight years from the
| date of entry, claimant shall prove that
| he has planted, and, for not less than
| eight years cultivated and protected
| trees as aforesaid, he shall receive
| patent for such tract of land" Many
| claims in this county could be proved up
under the law, but must wait four years
yet under the ruling. 1t is arbitrary,
unreasonable and very unpopular be-
| sides being entirely unnecessary for
| any purpose.
