The Future Of the south.

No one, wh1se opinion Is Of value, d 0ubts
that there is great future for the south.
Before the war of secession and directly
southern states were such as TO prevent the
extent of her resources from beng gener-
ally known. In the time of slavery the at
tention of the people was almost wholly
occupied with agriculture, and when
the civil conflict ended the people
were too much engaged in res -oring their
homes and making living to attempt to
develop new sources Of wealth. Within the
last few years, ho xever. the world has be-
gun TO see how great aud varied the sources
Of wealth in the south are, and nearly all
the southern states have entered upon
period of prosperity that promises to be
greater than that enjoyed by any other sec
lion of the country.
While the New England and Middle states
are virtually at a stand still, or are iacreas-
ing in wealth and population 50 slowly that
the change in decade is scarcely percept-
ible. the southern states are growing with
a rap.dity that is wonderful.
A Washington dispatch in Sundays Bos-
ton Journal says: "a statement as
to the results of the census pre-
pared here from accurate data indicates
that the returns when complete will show
that there has been little or 10 increase i'll
the rural population Of New England and
the Middle states in the last decade. The
six New England states will, it is expected,
lose six or seven members of congress at
the next appointment. Massachusetts,,
where two-thirds OF the population live in
cities, is not affected as much as other
states. New York suffers almost as much as
New England. There are four counties in
New York state where the rural population
is not only less than in 1880, but less than
in 1860" OF course the cities in the New
England and Middle states are growing,
but not so rapidly as those in the south. In
the rural districts of those states, however,
particularly in the New England states,
farms are being abandoned and the people
are going to the towns or are seeking
homes in the west and south. How differ
ent is the situation in the southern states !!
Mines are being opened, vast tracts
of land are being brought under cul-
tIvation and factories are being built
everywhere. A sulubrious climate, in
which extreme heat and cold are IN
known, and q soil that yields abuudautly,
invite immigrants, and inexhaustible riches
in mines and forests invite capital.
New England is either on the down grade or
soon will be. The south and west. the CEN
sus that is now being taken will show, are
advancing with vigorous strides towards
greater future. But even the west is not
wholly free from jealous fears of the south'S
superior attractions. 1t is only beginning
to be understood how great the possibilities
of the s5uth are. Her Advancement in
wealth aud population will increase in pro-
portion as the knowledge of these possibil-
ties becomes ditfused.

A LaWless Region,

That is a remarkable story which comes
from Perry county, Kentucky, where a
judge is holding court guarded by soldiers
TO protect him from 400 outlaws. Over 500
murders have been committed in that
county within the last twenty years, houses
have been robbed and burned, and the
court house aud its records destroyed No
taxes have been collected in two years, ami
there is not church or school in the county.
But how little restraining influence religion
exerts in that region is illustrated by the
conduct of the clergy in Martin county,
near Perry. The clergymen have been in
tie habit Of getting drunk, aud the Gazette,
published in the town of Inez, served notice
recently that it would in the future expose
all offenders Of this sort. In its latest issue
appeared the following, the name of the
Clergyman being charitably suppressed by
the Louisville Courier-JourndL in reprint
ing the paragraph
We promised our readers to publish the
names of all the preachers who should get
drunk from that time forward Little did
we think that in so short a time WE would
have to give the public The sad Intelligence
which is now being rumored about the town,
and, so far rs we can learn, not denied
that Rev. was drunk last Tuesday.
The bla k population in these counties i:
very small Foreigners are even scarcer.
Illiteracy and republicanism predominant
for both Martin and Perry county are re-
publican stronghods. In 1889 Perry cast
sic republican against PAS democratic votes
and Martin 367 republican against 164 dem
ocratic votes. Judge Lilly, who has under
taken to restore law and order in the dis
trict. has made his will. He expects to b.
assassinated. Civil government has col
lapsed, and civilization has vanished. Sucl
is the condition of affairs in that benighted
region. And a republican stronghold, too
a stronghold of the party of boosted intel
ligence, high purposes and pure morals!
seems hardly credible.

THE TRADE REVIEW.

For years, on the opening of each sue
ceeding season, there has been presented
evidence of large increase in Savannah's
business Heretofore this increase has been
due to the natural growth of Savannah'S
tributary territory, a better understanding
of her commercial advantages, and the
gradual enlargement of her two great rail-
road systems. These things will continue to
contribute to her growth aud prosperity,
and, in addition to them, there are others,
which have recently come into existence.
that will make the business year of 1S90-9l
more notable than any preceding one in her
history.
Since the last trade review of the MORN
ING NEWS there have been built three new
and important railroads to Savannah, or to
are the Alabama Midland. the Savannah
and Western, and the Savannah, Americas
and Montgomery. These railroads have
already brought hundreds of buyers to
Savannah and increased her trade greatly.
But the number of buyers and the amount
of trade which these new railroads will
contribute to her markets when the crops
now in the fields tributary to them are
harvested will be many times larger. The
people will have money then and they will
seek Savannah to supply their wants.
The advanced condition of the cotton crop
justifies the opinion that the business season
will open early and with great activity
The people are already thinking, probably,
OF what they will buy with the fruits of
their labor. They are scanning the columns
of the MORNING NEWS TO SEQ who are the
live and progressive business men of Savan-
nah and what they are offering for sale.
There is large and lucrative trade to be
secured from the territory which the new
railroads have made tributary to Savan-
nah, as well as from the territory which has
heretofore been tributary to her. If our
merchants are wise they will not neglect the
only proper method of getting this trade
That method is liberal advertising.
The MORNING News proposes to make a
special effort to reach every buyer in the
new field that has been opened by Savan-
nah's enterprise. The agents of the MORN
ING News are travelling through the coun-
try, and the people are taking the paper
Just as rapidly as the mail facilities which
are being established permit them to.
It is proposed to send copy of the trade
review to each subscriber to the WEEKLY
NEWS, as well as to each subscriber to the
daily, thus giving advertisers the benefit OF
both editions at a little more than the usua
price of one.
advertisement in a newspaper is an in
vitation to buyers to call 1t virtually says
when you are in town please call on us
We have all these things to show you"
The annual review will contain the usua
resume Of the business of the city for tn
last year. 1t will be sent to thousands o
people who are interested in Savannah
welfare and prosperity.
The Trade Review edition will be issue,

Eumors of a Calamity.

1t is undoubtedly wrong, says the st. Pau
Pioneer Press, to find anything comcal in q
terrible castrophe like the cyclone that caused
SO much suffering and death at Lake Gervais
ana were it not for the fact that the following
incident was related by one of the principals in
that tragedy, it would not appear in print. One
of the occupants of the Good cottage, an elder Y
lady, was very fond OF taking care OF
fowls, and had raised nearly 100 chick
ems and ducks. These were all killed
by the cyclone. The old lady had aso
made nice lot of soft soap, of winch she was
very proud. The soap had been left on board
by the side of the house. aud of course was car
ried away by the wind The occupants of the
house. it will be remembered, took refuge IL the
cellar when the storm was seen coming All
were more or less injured and their clothln :
torn from their bodies. 1t was nearly half an
hour before all were released, more dead than
alive. The lady spoken of was half unconscious
aud the moment she was taken from the cellar
she took one glance at the work of the eye one.
threw up her hands aud exclaimed: 20, wher.
are my ducks and my chickens and where is
my nice soft soap;"

Give the Soldiers a Chanc =

TIE bill pending in the House to revive
the grade Of lieutenant general is exciting
q good deal of comment in army circles.
1t is not bill that is calculated to COM
mand the unbounded admiration OF army
officers, for the reason that its purpose is to
honor some particular officer rather than to
establish permanently a new grade in the
army.
IL provides that the President shall select
an officer for the grade Of lieutenant gen.
eral "from amo1g those in military service
most distinguished for courage, skill and
ability" and it further provides that that
this grade shall continue during the con-
tnuance in Office of the officer appointed
under and by virtue of this act, after
which such grade shall cease"
Every once in while the grades of lieu
tenant general and general are revived for
the purpose of complimenting some one of
the major generals wno was particularly
prominent in the civil war. The purpose
of the pending bill is dou tless to honor
Gen. Schofield. He is an excellent soldier
aud worthy gentleman, but he did not
come out of the civil war with as
great a reputation as either Gen.
Hancock, Gen. Meade or Gen.
Toomas, neither one of whom was
raised to the rank of either lieutenant
general or general. The three generals who
were given b tn of these ranks were Gems.
Grant, Sherman and Sheridan.
Why not make the grade of lieutenant
general, or even general. a perma-
nent one The cost to the country would be
very little and then congress would not be
importuned constantly to raise this or that
officer to one of those grades. Besides, why
! shouldn't the chief officer of the army even
though the army is a small one, have the
raak and pay of general. Tho highest
rank now is maj Or general, and the senior
major general has command of the army.
His position compels him to do a great deal
of entertaining, and the governm ent 1esn't
provide him with any money for that pur-
pose. The entertaining consists chiefly in
showing courtesies to foreign officers of
high rank visiting this country. Under the
circumstances it would seem to be no more
than just that the commanding Off ,er Of
the army should have the rank and pay of
general.
1T will really be interesting to read,
when it shall appear, the account of Consul
Folsom of the recent anti-American tariff
demonstration az Sheffield says the B oston
Advertiser On account of his close per-
sonal relation to Mr.. Cleveland and the
well-known tariff reform opinions of that
gentleman. the Advertiser thinks, he would
naturally sympathize with the disaffected
Sheffield cutters, and it adds: His en-
barrassing situation is appreciated and his
report is awaited with interest not unmixed
with curiosity" We all understand the
disinteres ted solicitude of the Advertiser
for Mr.. Folsom, but why attach any more
Importance to Mr.. Folsom's report on this
subject than on any otherl He will simply
state what occurred, not what he thinks of
it or its political effect in this country. His
opinion and political sympathies do not,
aud cannot figure in the matter, aud there
fore have NJ significance.
