roVFIcS STEAMSHIP LINES.

The convention which assembled al At
lanta. Ca, on Wednesday ito take into con-
Alteration the ACCESSIBILITY and practicable
" of establishing direct trade between
Europe and Georgia ports was one OF the
most important in the principal questions
which il had under discussion, that
has met in the Southern states since the
close Of the civil war. 1t is not the first
time that a convention of Southern delegates.
having the same objects in view. has come
together, but never before has convention
of this character assembled under auspices
~ favorable as those which surrounded the
one to which we refer.
In the course of the last decade the ma
terial conditions prevailing in the Southern
States have undergone radical change.
The general improvement that has taken
place in every part of that section has It's
only counterpart in the enormous growth OF
the Western communities, and the progress
which this improvement has already made
is not TO be compared with the progress
which il is destined still to make. Every
where tncIt are bpeti h'iS 1AN ih''N o'''N-
ing indications Of the accumulation OF
wealth and the expansion of population,
which are, nevertheless, but the faint fore
shadowing OF the wealth and population
which will be found in the South at the
close OF the next quarter ola century.
Even at the present time, however, the
purpose which brought the Atlanta con-
yention together was far from being pre-
mature. One of the most encouraging signs
connected with the development going on
now in the Southern States is the disposition
OF the Southern people to utilize every ele-
ment of economy which will add to their
wealth. This is shown in the growth Of
cotton manufacture in the South, not 20
sneak of other forms Of manufacture which
have hitherto been left 10 the factories Of the
North and West. II is the same spirit
which moved the delegates Of the Al
lanta convention TO assemble 10 discuss
the proposition 10 establish steamship lines
between the ports of Europe and Georgia
with view to opening up direct channels
OF trade. instead of having TO transport
goods, consigned for foreign shipment, TO
Northern ports TO obtain the necessary IA
ciIities.

BISMARCK THE POLITICIAN.

In the interesting speech Wnlch tndunccN
NJ. Depew delivered on Wednesday, in re-
ply to the address Of welcome with which
he was received on his safe arrival home,
after a vacation of several months spent in
foreign travel, he alluded at some length to
the profound impression made upon him by
the obscurity into which Bismarck had
fallen as a factor in the contemporary po-
ltical life Of Germany. "1he people OF
Germany" said MIR. Depew, "had found
that they could get along without the iron
Chancellor, and consequently have forgot
ten him."
This is probably an extreme statement,
for it was only recently announced from
Europe that Bismarck, during his visit to
kissengen a short time since, had met with
every indication Of popular respect and adj
miration. Nevertheless, the assertion Of
Mr.. Depew IS undoubtedly substantially
correct. Bismarck, the man, the historic
figure, can never disappear behind a cloud;
but Bismarck, the active politician, has
been forever withdrawn from the stage Of
political affairs, although he still enjoys the
full measure Of his intellectual powers, and
shows but few signs as yet OF the encroacn-
ment Of physical infrmities.
The spectacle is sad one, and under popu-
lar institutions would be wholly anomalous.
In free country, in which the statesman
looks alone to the people for the approval of
his public acts, and whose career can only
be cut short by popular suffrage, such a
man as Bismarck in the vigorous posses
sion Of all his faculties, and with a record
Of illustrious services behind him. would
be playing as great a part as in the prime
Of his life. How different his position, how
ever. under the system Of a strong mon
archcal government, dominated by SOW
ereign VINO is full Of energy and ambition,
and who brooks no rival in the administra-
ton, however distinguished for his abilities,
on however celebrated for his achievements.
There is no room FOR public man Of the
Bismarckian stamp in such a system as
tais under the peculiar circumstances that
now surround it. And so obvious is this
truth that the German people have silently
concurred in the action Of the Kaiser.
At an age and in an intellectual aud
physical condition that would still allow
him TO serve his country to the highest adj
vantage. the founder Of German unity finds
himself sunk into retirement that is gall
ing 10 every instinct Of his proud and rest
less spirit. Gladstone, an octogenarian,
still controls the destiuies of the Liberal
party Of England, land of free institutions,
but Bismarck, the offspring and the crea-
ture Of despotic system Of public admins
tration, derives his only importance now
from his association with the great events
Of the past history Of his country.

cd by a Republican majority, assuring the
reelection OF Reed as Speaker OF the House.
there is very strong probability that he
will receive the Republican Presidential
nomination in 1892, for such an event would
seem to he the logical sequence OF the
events that preceded II.
There are certain influences, however,
that are likely 20 scotch the wheels OF Mr..
Reeds presidential coach. In the first
place, there are already many indications
that the triumph Of Mr.. Reed has aroused
the jealousy Of MIR. Blaine. whose success
fll advocacy Of reciprocity-a doctrine es-
scntially opposed TO the spirit of the protec.
tive system-shOws how enormous is the
personal power which Ne exercises, even
over the leaders OF his party, not TO include
the obscure rank and lille. The chances now
are that the Secretary Of state VIII at an
early day come out boldly as an ostcnta-
tious supporter Of the aspirations of liarri-
son after denomination, his object in this
being not so much 10 eXalt the present in
cumbent Of the Chief Magistracy, but 10 de-
press the hopes Of the Speaker with refer
ence 10 the same position.
There is still another course Of events that
is in the range Of probability, namely, that
Mr.. Blaine will employ all his influence to
defeat the Force bill when put upon its
passage again, because he will see in the
destruction of that measure the very Sc
yercst blow which the presidential aspira-
tions Of Mr.. Reed could receive. One thing
is fully assured there will soon be contest
l9r supremacy between Reed and Blaine
This contest is likely to be full Of surprises
that will rebound to the advantage, rather
than 10 the injury, Of the Democratic party.
The triumph Of the Speaker by a.rousing
the luminosity OF Mr.. Blaine, may prove a
blessing in disguise after all 10 the people OF
the South at least, who are the chief objects Of
the iniquitous legislation That has originated
in the House Of Representatives during the
present session at the dictation Of its pre-
siding officer.

have heard so much. The fame OF such
an Exposition would be spread abroad
through the whole Union, returning to the
various counties pecuniary benefits that VIII
far exceed any outlay entailed by the eX-
pense of their individual exhibits.
The suggestion Of the Southern Planter
should be at once adopted, all the prellml-
nary arrangements for the celebration oi
an Exposition and Fair in this city in 1871
should be promptly made, to be followed
closely by an announcement Of the premium
list for county exhibits for the purpose OF
stimulating the different counties by every
impulse OF the most active rivalry.

urrn.s PRESIDENTIAL CHANCES,

The success Of Speaker Reed, In securing
his reelection TO Congress, by an increased
majority, has undoubtedly advanced him in
importance Is candidate for the prcsi-
Dental nomination OF the Republican party
in 1892. The unusually large vote which he
received will be regarded by his supporters
In every State of the Union as an indication
that his course as the presiding officer of the
House had met with the strong approval Of
the Republicans everywhere, and as the
policy which the Speaker has been pursuing
is the one upon which the members Of their
party will make an appeal TO the people Of
the United States, they think that Mr. Reed.
as it's most active and most conspicuous
exponent, should be selected as the Repub-
Iican leader in the great campaign in which
this appeal is either to be allowed or de-
led.
A large proportion of the Republican
party just at this time certainly concur in
this view, but whether they will continue
20 do 10 will depend upon the future action
OF Mr.. Reed himself. II may be taken for
granted that he will when the Force bill
comes up again this winter Use his whole |
influence TO place IL upon the statute book |

pendent npon its becoming q law. II the

The Central people are satisfied that the
reported attemptt0 wreck the II. Louis eX-
press was put-up job on the part Of the
ilagman, who himself placed the 0bstruc-
t0ns on the track, and then signalled the
train in the hope Of posing before the world
as hero, and getting substantial reward
from the company for his vigilance and
fidelity.
This view accords entirely with the proba-
biliiies, for DunwOOdy's story was iishy on
its face and would not bear examination.
1t Will be relief 10 the popular mind to
feel that the first dcyilish attempt at train
wrecking was not followed by a second, but
this will not lessen the public contempt for
DunwOOdy's outrageous fraud.
The only occasion for regret is that there
is no apparent way Of making an example

that there will be no deficit in the United

gans have echoed the statement. Senator
Plumb, Republican Of Republicans, said
in the Senate yesterday that "a deficit is
just as sure as the rising Of the sun" and
he estimates the deficit for the current year
at O,OOO, 900, which undoubtedly is consid-
