the New York Uer0H, Times, and
many others at the east-papers of
high character and generally more
concerned about commercial and
financial interests than politics, are
beginning TO raise in regard to the
large amount of northern capital
which in the last ten or twelve years
with steadily increasing volume, has
been flowing into the southern states,
and finding investment in large min
ing and manufacturing enterprises.
The prOftableness of such invest
ments, it is contended, depends npon
the continuance of order and peace in
the southern states. Can such con-
The Republican managers at Wash
ingtOn have determined, as a deSper-
ate partisan eXpedient, to fling south
crn affairs into confusion and diSor-
der. They have decided on policies
intended to set the two races in viO-
lent opposition to each other all over
the south. Already rs felt the ground
swell which fOretells the storm. The
proposed legislation for federal con-
troll of elections in southern states
MEANS as both the negroes and whites
understand, an attempt to make the
most ignorant and corrupt part of
the population rulers in states, count
les and townships. This scheme will
neCcsstate the use OF troops, be-
cause without the use Of troops the
negroes will not stand their ground,
and this will inevitably bring trouble.
Well, what then? If the negro has
the right to vote, is it not the duty of
congress to pass laws to secure him
that right? That is not the point in
issue. The question raised is as to
the safety of further investments in
the south with such a prospect in
view of the coming political sltua-
ton.
What is coming under the present
Republican program both the north
and south perfectly understand. 1t is

The reconstruction saturnalia, in
which the north took comparatively
little interest because IL had no
money at stake then in the south, was
brought TO an end simply because its
own authors and abettOrs, who reaped
all its pecuniary and political profits,
became ashamed of it. Then. during
the administrations OF Hayes, Arthur

CHICAGO ,JUBIIANT,

Chicago, no doubt, owes her victory
in the struggle for the Worlds Fair
mainly to the fact, first, that the com
mon sense Of the country agreed from
the beginning that a central was pre-
ferable to a One-Sided location, and
secondly, that she was backed by the
great and mighty West, which has at
last arrived at that stage where She
greatly overbalances the East in num-
bcrS, ii not in wealth.
But with these obvious advantages
in her favor politics became newt
ably mixed up with the struggle, and
here Chicago encountered her chief
danger. The Republicans saw in the
organization of the board that was
TO have charge of the fair if il went to
New York, after the defeat Of Tom
Platt at Albany, that the Democrats,
and tably the Tammany Democracy,
would have its chief management and
control. The fair is to take place in a
presidential year, and, therefore, with
this mighty engine in its hands, it
would be hopeless to undtrtak to
carry New York for the Republicans
against any candidate supported by
Tammany. The Republican congress
men of New England and the Middle
States-cven of rural New York itself
grew cold toward that city. and
fully justified Depew in saying, after
the contest in the house was over:
"The Republican congressman alone
are responsible for the defeat of New
York. The defeat OF New York will
be made an issue in the next election.
and it will hurt the party that brought
it about. Every man who does not
prosper will blame it to the loss Of the
fair. Every hungry and ragged voter
will do the same" etc.
But while Chicago thus captured
Republican votes, which on sectional
grounds alone she could not have got
ten, she lost goodly numbered Demo-
cratic votes, to whom the prize of win
ming New York in 1892 had vastly
more glittering look than the bauble
Of winning the Worlds Fair for the
West.
But the decision in favor of Chicago
is as fortunate as it is just. 1t is like
placing the matter in charge of cour-
ageous, enterprisng and gO-ahead
young blood in preference to slow
motioned, calculating, string-halted
old fOgyiSm. Even the most sanguine
of her business men talked obviously
of New York being able to get ready
for SO vast concern on such short
notice, while to Chicago the under
taking is challenge accepted with a
joyous confidence that gives every
assurance in advance that she will be
abundantly ready when the time
comes.
Only let the senate now act promptly
and give Chicago half chance, and
being then put upon her mettle, she
will display avigor and push that will

A Kansas farmer sold beef ami
nal to a butcher for . cents pound,
agreeing TO take quarter of it for his
own use. The butcher charged him
regular rates for the meat, and when
they settled the farmer owed the
butcher 81. 1t was not on account OF
"the robber tariff either.-Intel'
Ocean.
But it affords pretty illustration
of how the tariff works, nevertheless.
The farmer sells $40 worth of wheat
at Liverpool and takes in pay 80
worth of wooden cloth; but when he
gets to New York he must pay ST
tariff dues at the custom house for
the protection of the home manufac-
turer. Which is the greater robber,
the butcher or the tariff?

The report of births and deaths for
this county, as made 10y the county
clerk this week, for the State Board
of Health. noted the other day in
these columns, gives special emphasis
to the statement made by this paper
some months ago that these statistics
are utterly valueless, owing to the ir-
regularity and incompleteness with
which, in spite of the plain letter of
the law requiring prompt and full re-
turns, they are reported. Physicians
make returns when and how they
please, and there is not the slightest
evidence that the tabulated returns
as made by the clerk is the actual
truth as to the number of either &C.

year. The true facts in both cases

no doubt show material increase of
both totals. Some features of the
French system could be introduced in
to the Board of Health statute with
good effect: for under that system not
only the tabulated returns from each
county would be complete, but the
record of births and deaths as kept by
the clerk would have an official value
for Identification in after years. which
il has not now.

Mr.. Hamerton says the best popular

A lady, neighbor of Mr.. Hamer-

muddy street in Lancashire. She
lifted her skirts little, while near a
group Of factory girls, and their sharp
eyes noticed her stockings, which were

One day Nj Hamerton, while wear

Mr. Hamerton replied "Why can't

Mr.. Hamerton has long resided in
