THE SOUTH OF TO-DAY.

Brilliant Record OF Agricultural MechRn-
fcal and Commercial Prosperity of the
South-Dixie Doing Wonders in DeveI-
opment, with Great and Glorious
Future in Prospect.
BALTIMORE, Md, Sept. 16.-The Manu-
facturers' Record, whose speciality is
Southern trade. publishes reports from a
number of leading bankers in the South,
who all agree in saying that the South
has never, since the war; been so pros
porous as it Is now. The increase in the
value OF Southern crops this year over
1888 is estimated at $125, 600 0C0, though
last years was the largest on record up
to that time. The assessed value of
property, from the assessments being
made. will be $4,000, 900 greater than
last year. The greatest increase is in
Texas, the next in Georgia.; after that
in Alabama. In three years and q
half, the Record says, it has reported the
organization in the South of upward of
1l,0OO new industrial establishments,
covering every line of manufacturing,
from making pins to building focomo-
tives, and the building of over 5000 miles
of railroad. In the same period the South
has raised 21,500,000 bales of cotton-it
has the biggest crop this year ever grown
j, 800, ,OO0, 600 bushels of corn, 1000, ,000
bushels of wheat and 240, 000 900 bushels
of oats. The total value of its agri-
cultural products for each Of the
three years, according to the Govern
ment figures, averaged 1880, 900, 900
per year. The growth of iron making
the output of coal and the manufacture OF
cotton are equally surprising when COM
pared with former years. The year 1880
is selected in the Records tables as the
one for comparison with which to illus
trate the progress Of the South in indus
trial activity, and the figures given show
that the increase in every department
has been very large, and, by consequence,
why the Southern railroads have so in
creased their business. In the single
item of cotton-s eed oil mills there were
in the South in 1880 Just forty. There
are now 1853. A section which is
growing SO steadily as this, and
which is still only at the beginning of it's
possibilities of development, is obvious
ly one in which there is great future
for any we'll managed railroad; and it is
within the probabilities that railroad de-
velopment there will in time be as great
as ever it has been in the great grain
growing regions of the West and North
west. There will be great Southern sys-
TENS as there are now great Western sys-
TENS, originating in the same way from
the aggregation of small roads.

A SUBJECT FOR NATIONAL PRIDE.
LONDON, Sept. 16.-At the opening of
lhe old Bailey court to-day the recorder
IN charging the grand jury referred to the
recent strike in London. He said that
though great number of men had been
a-H or sserk for weeks and had suffered
great privations there was not single
case on the calendar arising from the
strike. The peaceful behavior of the
men, he declared, was a subject for
national pride.
RETURNED STRIKERS DISSATISFIED.
LONDON, Sept. 16.-Much ill-feeling ex-
lsted to-day between the returned dock
laborers and the meE who took the places
OF the strikers, and the former refused
to work with them. Many of the dock
laborers protested that the leaders of the
strike had no right to agree to the propo-
sal that the strikers should work hand
ln-hand with the ''blacklegs."
Work has been generally resumed, and
1t is expected that to- morrow it will be
in full swing.
A deputation of ship owners arrived
at the Mansion House while the meeting
was IN progress. John Burns, one Of the
leaders of the strikers. spoke concerning
the situation and the causes which led to
1T and instanced several cases where
unreasonable preference had been given
to "blacklegs." 1t was finally agreed by
all those present to endeavor to have the
agreement kept intact by all the parties
interested.

others, has been instrumental in holding

The fortunate termination Of the str Ike
continues to be leading theme for COM
ment in the press, and the lesson drawn
from recent events seems to be, in the
great majority of cases. that vast change
has been wrought in public opinion
in few years in regard to the proper re-
lations Of society to the individual. Some
time ago the doctrine of laissez faire had
full swing. in the sense of letting all in
stitutions concerning property alone, no
matter how much suffering might be
caused by their operations. At the same
time, society was forced to bear the bur-
den of at least partial alleviation OF this
suffering through the poor-laws. Gu
riously enough, as pointed out by a lead
ing journal yesterday, Cardinal Manning
was one of the first to point out the ab-
surdity of this attitude, and to suggest
that it might be better policy for So
ciety to shift some of this bur-
den upon classes of property which mad
specially benefited by certain changes
made in the social and industrial sltua-
tion century or two ago. The idea mas
grown in the popular mind aud the re-
cent strike finally gave the Cardinal an
opportunity of proposing an entering
wedge towards its realization. Thls Is
