THE GROWTH OF THE SOUTH.

Statistics are said to be dull and
stupid. That may be true as a gen.
eral thing, but when you take an
inventory OF your property and find
that you are worth just three times
as much as you were ten years
ago, then figures become more fash
mating thar poetry and more thrill
ling than oratory.
The South will back US UP in
tSese statements. When it pulled
itself together after the war it found
it had nothing but bankruptcy and
pluck as capital in trade. Its motto
was: "The past is nowhere the
future is everywhere" and it drew
Its belt one hole tighter and started
in the race.
The statistics which represent its
progress, are as celebrating and
cheering as an old wine. It's coal
output twenty years ago was about
100000 tons; now it is nearly 49,.
10000 tons. In 1880 it thought it
was rushing along at breakneck
speed because it had erected mills
on its streams and manufactured
100000 bales of the cotton it had
raised, butin 1890, only ten years
later, it manufactured 100000
bales and made contracts for more
mills.
Before the war the sleepy negro
lay in the sun on top of iron mines
whose value was only suspected.
Agriculture absorbed the peoples
attention and they let the negro
sleep on. Now the mines are work.
ed, the bonanza has been uncovered.
dreams Of wealth have become an
inspiration, the roar of the forge,
the hum of machinery are heard
everywhere, and old Pennsylvania
is beginning to tremble in her boots
as she surveys her vigorous and dar-
ing rival.
The South has rolled up it's sleeves
and proposes to be rich again--rich-
er than ever. 1t has all the natural
resources which attract capital and
enterprise. Young men from the
North on the lookout for career
are making investments there, help
ing to develop the country, and they
always receive a warm welcome.
The tides ofpopulation, kept apart
so long, are mingling their waters,
and unless the politicians raise row
there won't be any north or any
south, twenty years from now, and.
in their stead we shall have a united,
contented and prosperous country.
Therefore, hang the politicians
and let the good work go on.-New
York Herald.

PROBLEM NO. |.
ch YOU must helm solve.

Which you must help solve.
How shall we overcome evil with good?
1t is quite evident that the smooth bore
methods now adopted by pulpit and press
are not holding their own against sin. Yet
If you should publicly protest against any
OF the prominent evils of the age, and in
that protest call spade spade you
will be howled down as too indecent. Did
you ever notice this fact, that you can
publicly expose the sins of an individual.
and the people will gloat over everything
brought to light, the press emphasize every
insinuation? But let these very sins exist
to a considerable extent in community
and you dare to protest against them in
the same language and you will be de>
nounced by the best people and biggest
papers as dirty mouth crank. A lawyer
in his speech goes into every particular Of
any crime and the ,mixed audience gives
him storm of applause when he takes his
seat. The daily papers in double loaded
type announce to every household his
words, &c. AT this there is no complaint,
for the lawyer is allowed great latitude
that truth may be established and his
clients body saved The papers publish
man, to company of men, condemn
their vices in plain language to save their
souls, and the general public will say how
shocking, and the papers announce that
it was too indecent to print. Is not this
the purest rot Any paper that printed
the testimony of Mrs Martin, of Birming>
ham, need not blush at anything that Gull
pepper or any one else might say to "men

PLENTY OF GRIP,
What DIR. stearns Says of the Prevailing
Epidemic.


Epidemic.
6rip9 Plenty of il" said DR.. s. S. Stearns
In answer to STAR reporters inquiries. $50
lar as my experience goes there are even more
cases now than during the epidemic last year.
The mortality, however, does not seem to be
any greater. if as great The nature Of the dis
ease seems to vary somewhat this year and
there is q greater tendency to pulmonary
symptoms. A week or so Of good weather will
put an efectual check on the progress Of the
disease in this city. There are, however, the
wise and the foolish and the latter especially at
this season Of the year are bound to suffer.
AS soon the grip scare has a little abated
some people will commence taking of their
heavy hannels and there will be another little
run OF colds or the grip. Epidemics, like this
OF the grip, come i'll waves People are care
less and thousands are caught by the disease.
Then the sight of so much sickness and an I'M
usual number Of funerals on the streets raises
fright, and for a time extra care and precau-
tions are used and the epidemic burns itself out
IN ITSELF IT Is SIMPLE.
''The grip is. in itself, simple affair, and
unaceompanied by outside complications needs
simply care and quiet. The trouble, however,
weakest portion of the body. Where the ply
stefan knows the condition of his patient he
must, in a case Of grip, protect any weakness
which exists, whether it be Of the lungs heart
kidneys, &c.
''Yes, the disease known as the grip 10 as old
probably as man. but owing to its infre-
quent occurrence and short duration il has
been little studied and as little has been written
concerning it, The epidemics usually last only
q few months, and during that period ply
sicians are too busy to make any very careful
or extended investigation of the disease. When
leisure comes there are no cases to investigate
and SO it goes. By the time another visitation
comes the physicians who are acquainted with
the disease are all dead and the new generation
must meet the question anew
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1891-04-18

If the doctors are all worn out battling with
the grip the clergymen have additional reason
to lament its temperance at season when
their services are in almost daily demand at
the hymeneal altar. No wonder therefore that
some amusing things occur in the hurry which
obliges them to go SO quickly from a happy
scene on a sad errand. At one of the pretty
home weddings lately one of the best known
and most popular clergymen of the District
ofticiated. This good man is not over-fastidious
about his clothes, which he wears long after
they have lost even place in clerical fashions.
After the wedding he went to visit sick
parishioner and then to the office of a business
man. The latter began to laugh and asked the
dominic Where did you get that hat?" To his
great chragin, when the clergyman looked at
his shining tile, he found il to be silk hat Of the
very latest dude pattern, and he could fancy
the feelings of the best man after the wedding
when about to resume his headgear he found
in its place the capacious, broad-brimmed and
beu-crowned beaver that had done service for
the dominic for years and years.

Scores of Policy Cases.

Judge Miller will be kept busy for some days
when Assistant District Attorney Mullowney
presents the policy cases which have been
pending for several months. There are nearly
one hundred of these cases, and some Of them
are more than year old. In them the
defendants demanded jury trials. and the
cases were indefinitely postponed until
the jury vas obtained, but now it
is thought that they cannot be tried
in the Police Court by the jury, but will have
to be tried by the court as an examining magis-
trate and sent to the grand jury. Should more
than half the cases go to the upper court it will
take that tribunal nearly all the summer to hear
them.

ment y pre-emiuent in the cure Of disease
There is probably no power given to man sc
little understood as the magnetic power to cure
disease. Cases Of years standing and people
who have tried all sorts of doctors and remedies
and fail to find any relief restored to health
in few short weeks. During the time that Dr.
French has been in Washington he has published
many cases Of cures performed here and in
the vicinity. and people ask every day, are
these cures lasting, and we answer yes, most
decidedly, and in proof we submit the follow
ing testimonials Of patients cured years ago,
and who now remain well, and they will testify
to the fact at any time:
Mrs. George b. Chamberlain Of l42 Belmont
street, Maiden, may be referred to as having
been relieved in a few treatments of Infiam-
matory Rheumatism; suffered extremely for
years.
Capt. George E. Senter, 672 Broadway, South
Boston. cured Of severe case Of Rheumatism of
three years standing.
Miss Louise Payson Of Hope was cured OF .
very bad case Of catarrh.
Mrs D.. Underwood, Woonsocket, cured Of
spinal weakness and dyspepsia.
. Six years ago Mr.. Patrick Cronin Of 27S
Franklin street, Cambridgeport, Mass, suffered
FOR months the most excruciating agony from
sclatlca; he could neither sit nor lie down or
sleep nights or daytime either; was completely
worn out and obliged to give up his work alto
gether. In this condition he was brought to
Dr. French and was cured in four weeks Mr..
Cronin has been at work ever since and has
had no return of the scatica.
Mrs. u. L. Gaylor was cured Of the worst
form of dyspepsia. She suffered three years
and could get no relief Miss Elizabeth Wood
OF G street southeast was cured Of sciatica in a
most aggravated form. She suffered every
thing for five years and was cured by DIR.
French in four weeks without drop of medi-
cine. Mr.. Frank Bartlett was cured Of o very
severe case Of lumbago in two weeks and no
medicine given. DIR. French can positively
cure any case of lumbago without medicine.
Mrs. Louden Of Peekskill, MY, now at the
Arlington, was cured of female difficulties of
ten years standing.
