SOUTHERN PROGRESS-W WHYg

"The sceptrc of industrial empire is coming
to the South" cries "The Charleston News and
Courern Be it so Northern manufacturers
are not going to lie awake nights about it. There
will be some sort of industry in this region long
enough to last ont the life of men now living.
Perhaps, if the South takes the sceptre in max
ing pig-iron, the North will be able to add
enough tin plates, wire rods steel beams and
highly finished products to make up for any
loss At all events. if the country gains, why
should anybody worry?
But the proud boast above quoted is based
upon the theory that the South pays more for
labor per ton of iron, and yet has such superior
facilities that its average cost of production is
lower: "The North cannot compete with the
South in the production of pig-iron any more
than it can compete with the South in the man.
ufacture of cotton goods" Perhaps the facts
hardly bear out these statements, for the TAX
ings of spinners in eight months, compared with
the same months of the previous year, have
been:
'oo|ol, $1,000, IN
sasssH sSssrR sS5o 1898 1898
There would seem to be considerable cotton
manufactured in the North even yet, and the
quantity is still increasing, according to the
above records. But as fine goods are made
year by year more cloth is produced with fewer
bales in this section, so that the progress of the
industry is presumably greater than these figures
indicate. Also the production of pig-ron in
1890 and 1889 as officially reported was:
Northern production. ,35S66s 6,D40377 1904 iOa
Southern production. .1,953,459 1,566702 3S6757
There would seem to be quite a large produc-
ton of iron at the North also, and it grew about
| 900, 900 tons more last year than the produc-
ton at the South. The cheapest iron is not al
ways the best, as buyers are aware, and every
year this great industry comes to depend more
and more on definite and trustworthy qualities
than upon cheapness.
The claim that the South has at present ad-
yantages in cheaper fuel, cheaper ORE cheaper
transportation and cheaper labor is not to be
denied, of course. Northern furnaces compen-
safe for this in part by use of better and more
economical machinery, getting rid of part Of
the labor, so that the labor cost in ton of mig.
iron is reported by Mr.. Wright to be Il cent:
less at the North than at the South although
the Southern laborers do actually receive lower
wages But there is one other thing to be said
the labor at the South is not going long to
be as cheap as it now is, because after a few
years of successful manufacturing it will begr
TO know and use its power. Southern trans
portation is not always going to be as cheap a.
that which has been supplied by some railroad,
to encourage developments along their lines
because when they get the mines opened anG

The school authorities are wise in closing the
nuhlc schools as soon as there are indications OF
endemic disease among the scholars, but 1t Is un
fortunate that several of the schools are now
closed ON account Of sickness in the families oil
the ianitors. It is impossible TO prevent the
breaking out of dangerous diseases among the
children. but il the janitors lived outside OF
the buildings. OF were married men without young
children one additional cause of danger or Of loss
of time to the school children would be removed.
School buildings do not always require the care OF
resident janitors, and all necessary supervision
could be secured in many cases by appointing a
ianitor from among the residents in the immediate
neiphborhood of the school.

The Gadstonians did not elect their candidate
at the South Dorset election, but they had the
satisfaction Of cutting the Conservative ma
jority of 991 at the previous election down to
40. This is decisive gain, and, coming SO
close after the Liberal victory in Suffolk, will
cause the hearts of Mr.. Gladstone's followers to
leap with JOY. The result of the latest by
elections will not make Lord Salisbury desirous
of Fastening the appeal to the country which
he is believed to be contemplating.

The death of well-known resident OF Maine
who has been administrator or executor OF ninety

Arbor Day was not one of those ideal spring
days which previous to this week nature has
been furnishing with lavish hand. Nor, fcrtu-
natey, was it so cold and cheerleSs as to make
outdoor exercises positively disagreeable. Not
much tree-planting can be done by school-chil-
dren in city like New York, but in smaller
towns this is prominent feature of ArbOr Day,
and it is expected that the final returns will
show that more than 80, 900 trees were set out
yesterday. 1t is too early TO give even approx
innate figures as TO the voting on the State
flower. Both the golden-rod and the rose had
many and ardent friends, however, and are be-
leyed TO have made close race.

Los ANGELES CABLE ROAD.
Reports of Irregularities I'm Its Build
ing and Operating Denied.

CHICAGO, Jan. &c B. Holmes, speaking of
the story in a morning paper about alleged ir-
regular practices in connection with the build
ing OF the Los Angeles cable railway system and
floating OF its securities, said that the New York
bond dealers may have sent an agent here to in
vestgate the affairs OF the company, but that
there was any ground whatever in the transac
lions Tor criminal prosecution is absolutely IN
true. The bonds were issued with the approval
OF the stockholders, who also decided the road
should be built by temporary loans and when
finished the bonds be divided among the stock
holders pro rata The road was so built, but in
the meantime money became scarce, the stock
holders with few exceptions refused to take the
bonds, and the notes were left in the banks. Eff
forts TO sell the bonds To outside parties were
unsuccessful because of the general financial
stringency
In regard TO the alleged Misrepresentation of the
value OF the Los Angeles road, Holmes says the
books were kept in Los Angeles, and in one of
the reports seen there was an accidental clerical
error in the ten thousand column that made
great difference in the showing. 1t deceived him
as well as the stockholders. During the first
year of operation of the road Los Angeles was
visited by disastrous floods which made the
operation financially disastrous. Still, he says,
the city is rapidly growing and the franchise
runs fifty years. Witha little waiting there is
no reason why any of the stockholders should
lose a dollar

Chicago Thief Makes Way With Package
Containing 800, 900 in Drafts.

CHICAGO, Jan. 22.--It has just transpired that
a valuable package of letters belonging to the
Northwestern National bank was stolen yester-
day. In the morning, the banks messenger
called at the postoffice for the banks mail. He
was given part of it, and was told to call for
the remainder in fifteen minutes. Just before
the expiration of that time, a young man, who
had evidently overheard the conversation with
the messenger, called for the remainder of the
mail. 1t was given TO him without question,
and nothing more was thought of the matter
till the arrival of the regular messenger By
that time the thief had escaped II is supposed
that the stolen package contained sixty letters
containing from 100000 TO $4,000. mostly
checks, drafts and other negotiable paper.
