would be presented if the standing commit
tees of the flfty-two Episcopal dioceses
should vote in favor of confirming the cleo.
ton of DR.. Phillips Brooks to the Office of
Bishop of Massachusetts and majority of
the bishops should vote against him. But
that is what is going to happen if the opin-
ion of Bishop-elect Gailor of this state is
worth anything. But Mr.. Gailor will not
have chance to vote on the question of
his confirmation. II he had he would vote
against him. At least that is a fair infer
ence from what he says.
Thus far sixteen dioceses have voted for
DR.. Brooks and six against him. The six
against him are Newark, Iowa, Western
New York, Milwaukee, Mississippi and
Chicago. The vote in the Chicago diocese
was tie, but it will be counted against
him. 1t is somewhat remarkable that Mis-
sissippi voted against him in view OF the
fact that Bishop Thompson of tLat diocese
favors him.
Eleven more dioceses are needed to give
DIR. Brooks a majority of the standing COM
mittees, and there is no doubt that he will
get them. Indeed, it is quite certain that
he will get two,thirds of them. Under
such circumstances it would seem as if
the bishops would hesitate long time be-

The south's Future.


In an article in this weeks issue Of the
Manufacturing Record, a synopsis of
which was published in our dispatches yes
terday, Mr.. Edward Atkinson, Of Boston.
the well-known statistician, speaks in glow
ing terms of that large section Of the south
which is known TO be rich in deposits Of coal
and iron. That section, according to Mr..
Atkinson's estimates, contains $50, 900
square miles. an area equal 70 that of Eng
land, Wales, Scotland, Belgium. half OF
France and half of Germany combined. Its
climate is superb. and it is capable of pro-
| ducing, in measureless abundance, fruits,
grain, meats, vegetables, and, in fact,
almost everything needed for mans hsppi-
ness and comfort.
And this vast region is very sparsely set
| tied, and land in many parts of it can be
purchased at very reasonable prices. Its
mineral resources have scarcely been
touched. No one can estimate how vast
these resources are. 1t is an invi ting field
for farmers, manufacturers and miners,
and is capable of supporting millions of
people.
The south is the most desirable section Of
this country, and capitalists and home
seekers are just beginning to find this out.
More northern capital is icing invested in
the south now than at any previous time in
her history, and the time is not distant
when the young men of the north, instead
Of going to the new states, will seek the
south. And they will be wise in doing so,
for tie south is bound to have a W onderful
growth in the very near future. Indeed,
her advancement in wealth and population
within the last decade has been remarkable.
Within her limits she has the raw mate
rails in abundance for all kinds of manu-
features in which cotton, iron and wood
are the chief factors, and her agricultural
lands compare favorably with those of any
other section. And manufacturing can be
carried on within her limits cheaper than
elsewhere. What then is to hinder her
from becoming the most prosperous section
OF the uniong And why should not the young
men Of the north, who are looking for favor
bic locations in which to begin their careers,
prefer the south TO any other sectionl Why
should not northern farmers, who cannot
make living out of the sterile soil of New
England, seek new homes in the south.
Capitalists have already discovered how
rich the south is, and they are investing in
southern enterprises. 1t will not be long
before the farmers, mechanics and ambi-
tious young men will follow them. Mr..
Atkinson and other men like him are doing
good work in making known the south's
advantages.
