The Drift of Capital.

Virginia is evidently fast recovering
from the wounds and losses she
suffered during the civil war. The
hundreds of million of capital annihi-
lated within her borders while the
war was in progress and in the decade
that followed are being regained with
phenomenal raridity. a great dea! of
foreign capital has been invested in
Virginia in recent years. Governor
Lee " show in his forthcoming
message, it is stated, that S100,000,000
has been brought into the State Tor
permanent investment since 1883.
There are good reasons, he thinks, for
believing that the infux of capital will
increase in the next few years
at rate never before equaled, a large
amount of money going into the deyel-
opment of the iron and coal mining
regions along the Shenandoah VALLEY,
Richmond and Allegheny and Norfolk
and Western Railroads. A great deal
has already been done since 1888 in
the territory traversed BIZ these roads.
The record of new railroad mileage
built, furnaces constructed and put into
blast, factories, mills, machine shops
and other industries established, is
such as to show that the Old Dominion
is leading rather than tagging behind
in the race of progress upon which the
South has entered.

Tho Cotton Croy OF ihe state.

Early in November the State depart
ment of agriculture announced the crop
estimates Of its correspondents, after =
careful tabulation, and according 10
these estimates the yield of cotton this
year was placed at 5000 bales. The
reports of the correspondents, on which
this estimate was based, were made about
September 20, when the plant looked
promising, but later in the season It be-
came apparent that dry weather and un-
usually early frosts would greatly affect
the Weld, and at the time the figures
were published the statement was maGe
tha. they were probably too high. To
make sure Of the facts Commissioner
Butler, some weeks ago, sent out to his
township correspondents for supplement
arv estimates of the cotton crop. Several
hundred replies have been received Of the
average date of December /, and tabu-
lation just completed shows that the crop
of 1889 is only 3,20S bales. against
$751; 900 bales last year, decrease ri
nearly $4,000 bales. The loss of $4,000
bales from the September estimate is
accounted for not only by drought and
early frosts, bat by the backWaFdness Of
the plant and the extent to which It

THE NEEDS OF THE DAY.
A Statement Of Some Important Things
TO be Done By the Farmers.

a
to be Done by the Farmers.
Southern Alliasce Farmer.
If we need one thing more than
another at this time it is education
and information. 1t takes education
to enable man to hold purely con-
servative position upon great questions.
Ignorance and fanaticism go hand in
hand. That our government is passing
through it's crucial era, is as true as
true can be. That unwise and uni ast
national legislation has widened the
breech between the two great classes
of our people is evident to every taink-
ing mind. If the species of robbery,
which can OILY exist under such laws
as ours, is to be broughtto an end, and
the moneyed power which created
these unjust laws, still, by bribery and
by purchase will endeavor to perpet-
uate them, what will be the result?
We see, year after year, the circle
of success is narrowing and the
borders of misfortune widening. We
see the wealth of the nation going into
the favored few, while it is taken from
tie toiling millions. The breech
widens and the bond of sympathy
weakens between the few who are
very rich and the many who are very
poor.
Foreign capital is even being added
to the accumulated millions of Wall
street, and England would regain, oy
her gold, the power over American
citizens which she lost over an hun
dred years ago by the bayonet. Eng
lish loan agents laugh at the idea of
the poor borrowing producer ever re-
paying the loans under our system of
government, and they acknowledge
that they do not want them paid.
With all this before us what have
We to hope for except through the or
ganizs ton Of the producing classes?
With such organization must come.
though, research, information, con-
servatism, combined effort, earnest
work, and earnest prayer. Then let
US educate, lest in our determined and
uncompromising effort to undo these
great wrongs, we fail to get at the
foundation of this superstructure Of
error, and leave the germs Of rotten
ness in the system still. No govern
nent can live with rotten core. The.
conditions reached by this centralizing
policy are the same which have de-
stroyed thrones, principalities and
powers in the past, and which will
ever do so in the future.
We do not want the unjust accumu-
lations of the nillionaires, but we do
want to stop the process by which they
have obtained these millions. The
people of America are not the freemen
which they should be and will be. How
will this end? But for the organiza-
ton of farmers and laborers it would
end in blood, but this organization
says: 'We are no socialists; we are
no anarchists; we are no rioters, but
by the power of the peoples unpur-
chased ballot and our united effort and
the approving help of a just God, we
will undo these wrongs and make
America once more the land of the
free and the home of the brave"

rest, though, for once in his lifetime, he

the olive gardens wave in the light, and
all along yondor road, reaching over the

something in his majestic brow, some

Up the enthusiasm Of the people. They
run up against the beast and try to

THE POSTPONED LICENSE QUESTION.

There was a good deal that was explana-
tory-perhaps more than was needed-in
the judicial opinions yesterday, refusing at
this time to reopen the vexed license ques-
tion. Surely no intelligent person, not even
among the disappointed applicants, had
need to be assured that Judge Whites
course at the spring term was dictated solely
BY his best Judgment of what the situation
called for The expediency or usefulness of
so extensive a cut was a matter for debate;
but no one could have doubted that the ju-
dicial discretion was exercised in the most
perfect good faith. The fact was that the
trial of high license was yet in an expert
mental stage. How to administer the
Brooks law and secure the best results for
the community was the problem which pre-
sented itself. If the Supreme Court deci-
sion, admitting wholesalers and bottlers to
license regardless of the Brooks law, changed
the aspect Of things, that was an after-con-
sideration. The trankness with which
Judge White has admitted that it would
have altered his course had he foreseen it
sufficiently, indicates the willingness of the
Court to exercise Its powers to meet what
ever new facts may hereafter enter into the
situation.
As for the refusal at this time to take up
new hearings it will Of course disappoint
the applicants; but the concurrence Of
judicial opinion that the subject could not
now be re-opened without impeding other
public business and lea wing fresh crop of
disappointments, settles the matter. 1t is
only six months until applicants will have
a chance to get their cases in regular order
before the Court. The experience, mean
while, will be valuable to the Judges.
Nobody expects that at the first, the second
or even the third attempt, the Court can
gauge precisely the number of licensed
houses that will exactly fill the require
ouirements of public convenience. Under
the old system there were at least a couple
of thousand too many for the peace and
good order of the county. Ii there are too
few now, even the most bibulous can man
age to exist for the few months until next
spring, when the then existing require
ments can be patiently considered.

evidence of the hapbazard blundering which
is generally dignifed by the name of muni-
cipal government There are a number OF
absolute essentials that must go under
ground in the principal streets of any city.
Sewers, gas and water pipes have long been
placed there. To these of late years have
been added conduits for either cable
or electric motors-probably both-and
now the necessity of putting telegraph,
telephone, and last, but not least, the dan
gerous electric light wires.
1t would cost far less to build an adequate
subway that would accommodate all OF
these, with something to spare for unknown
requirements, than to put them down
separately, with a fresh tearing up of the
pavements for each. Moreover, the
ownership of such conduit by the public,
subject to the use of every competing cor
poration, would be the surest safeguard
against the growth of exclusive privileges
in the public streets.
To let the present blind policy go on OF
tearing up new pavements to let each in
divldual corporation put down new sub
ways, or to leave the streets numbered with
unsightly and dangerous overhead structures,
is calculated to create doubts as to the de-
velopment of ordinary intelligence in pub
lie affairs.

CANALS AND PARTIES.

The final abandonment of the old Penn
syIvania Canal, under orders of the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad, but ostensibly on account of
the damage done by the June floods, is COM
pared by the New York Press to the same
step taken with regard to the James River
and Kanawha Canal. Our cotemporary
points out that the preservation of these
waterways might have enabled the Eastern
manufacturers who are now calling for "free
raw materials" to be supplied by cheap coal
and ore that were the products of American
industry; but SAYS: "The tariff should not be
blamed for the bad results of the neglect of
State Legislatures to keep their waterways
open and free forever"
Of course, the tariff laws themselves are
not to be blamed for this false and inter-
ested policy; but can the responsibility be
avoided entirely by the party which sup
ports the tariff? The men whose interests
were Bubserved by the destruction of the
waterways, at least in this State, have been
somewhat mighty in their political ad-
vocacy of the tariff, and the Republican
party has held continuous power here
during the period in which the railroad in
tersst has wiped out the canal system. If
the Kames river canal has been similarly
destroyed under Democratic auspices, that
party should bear the responsibility for it
there. Wherever any party suffers itself to
be used for the corporate interest to the pub
lie prejudice, it should be made to bear the
odium of it.
The Press is right in declaring that "the
day of canals is by no means past" That
fact is of no more vital Importance any
where than in Pittsburg. But to insure the
usefulness of canal, is it not necessary to
have some political reformation which will
prevent both parties from being used by the
corporate interests that are benefited by the
humiliation of the canalso

PITTsBURG, TUESDAY, SEP. II, lsSe.
A QUESTION OF JURISDICTION.

The discharge of Deputy Marshal Nagle
from custody by Judge Sawyer yesterday,
while involving moral and perhaps deli
cate point of law, is likely to increase the
remarkable ideas entertained in the East
of the unique characteristics of Pacific coast
justice.
That Nagle shot Terry is beyond question
and that he was justified in doing SO is the
opinion of the vast majority OF the nation
But what is the proper court and what are
the proper proceedings to investigate and
declare on the question of iustitlcatlon, is
another and much less clear question. Have
the United States Courts the right to rule
under what circumstances a killing by one
of its officials is justifable?
The natural presumption would be that
the trial of the questions of fact in this case,
like others Of its class, should be left to the
State courts with the same right to appeal
to the United States courts if the trial is not
properly conducted, as has been exercised
before trial. But the decision of Judge
Sawyer is a practical assertion either that
the State courts cannot be trusted to try this
case fairly, or that the decision as to the
justification of the officer is not to be al
lowed to the State courts at all.
Either way of putting the thing puts the
California courts in queer and not especI-
ally attractive light.

STARRING A CHINESE.

A good deal of fun has been made of the
Chinese actors in New York, but they seem
to be picking up American ideas SO fast
that they may yet be serious competitors of
our actors. The shrewdest advertising
agent or star manager of Caucasian blood
could not have hit upon a happier excuse
than the Mongolian manager offered for the
closing OF the Chinese theater on Saturday
last He said it was closed on account OF
the sickness of the leading lady-a gentle
man, BY the way, named Taxa Wlng-and
thus allowed the secret of the female i'm
personator's sickness to escape. Taxa Wing
had lost his pet cat
Being a man, Taxa Wing could not
have diamonds to lose. Being a Chi
nese, he could not elope with a belle of
his own race, for Mongolian maidens are
scarce and costly in New York. Single, a
sensational divorce suit was not open to him.
He might have been attacked by High
binders, to be sure, but probably the Chinese
manager fears these murderous gentry too
much to make light use of their names. If
he had lost his cue-doubtless he has lost
his cue often enough-his countrymen
would have cursed him. he played trump
card, therefore, and lost the idol of his soul,
the delight of his eyes, his protection from
evil spirits and his mascot at fan-tan, his
Chinese cat. All Chinatown is ringing
with his name; his tender affection for Door
puss is talked of over the teacups in Mott
street and there will be q full house. no
doubt, when the sterling drama, "Chi Nee
Kat Ia Lee," is played tonight.

MEN OF NOTE AND TALENT
Coming From Sister Republics TO the Inter-
national CONGRESS.

WASHINGTON, September 16-The delegates
to the international Amerlcan Congress, which
is to convene in Washington nextmonth, are
among the ablest and foremost public men of
the countries they represent. and the sessions
of the congress promise to be not only of great
benefit to the nations represented, but interest
ing, because of the ability and talents of its
members. Honduras will send Geronimo Zeloya,
prominent lawyer, about IS years of age. He
was Minister of Foreign Affairs several years.
Afterward he was the representative OF Hon.
duras in the Congress Of Central American
States, which met in Guatemala in 1885, and
the Costa Rica Convention of 1888 He will ar
rive at New York in the Pacific Mail steamship
Aspinwall about the Oath instant.
DIR. Fernando Cruz, the representative Of
Guatemala, is also the new Minister from the
country to the United States. having succeeded
Francisco Lienfesta. He arrived in this coun-
try in July. but has been spending the summer
with his family on Long Island. Dr. Cruz is
probably the foremost literary man of Guate-
mala, as well as politician Of high degree. He
served as Secretary for Foreign Affairs under
President Barrios, and since then has been
President of the National University. He
speaks English with considerable fuency.
Much public interest is felt in the forthcom-
ing tour of the country, which will be the first
business Of the congress. The party will leave
Washington October 8 and be gone 40 days.

AN IMPORTANT VISIT.

The action Of the Chamber of Commerce
for the entertainment Of the South Ameri-
can statesmen who will visit us as an inter-
lude from their labors in the Pan-American
Congress. was the obvious and only one.
Pittsburg should take pains to present her
best aspect to the representatives, OF our
reighboring republics.
No community has a wider or deeper in
terest than this city, in the project for the
extension of trade with the South Ameri-
can countries. With domestic competition
in iron productionirapidly multiplying, the
plainest remedy is to seek these markets
1or our surplus production; and with the great
water highway that leads from our mills to
the Gulf of Mexico, these countries are our
foreordained markets. To cultivate rela-
tions with them nothing can be more useful
than TO show their representatives our in
dustriaI resources in full operation.
1t is probable that before the South
American guests reach our city they will
be somewhat surfeited with dinners and
oratory. But we can show them something
in theNline of miles of manufacturing estab-
lishments, flaming furnaces, busy mills and
roaring gas wells that will strike them with
the double force of freshness and utility.
Pittsburg will easily recognize the i'm
portance of making the visit of its guests
interesting to them; and it will expect that
the entertainment shall give them that
thorough knowledge of our industrial re-
sources which can only be obtained by per-
sonal inspection.
