who should design and decorate public build

erected. and what paintings bought. Then we
should probably secure public buildings worthy

such poor things. And If a commission of

that a woman in picture should have two

Immediately after the democratic victory
at the polls last November, when all dan
ger of force bill and consequent disturb
snces in the south, was swept away, an active
inquiry concerning the so0th's progress and
prospects was begun by men in the north
with money to invest. The query was
answered in general way with che state
ment that the south's prospects were very
encouraging, that confidence would be re
stored between business men of the north
and south, and that an era Of industrial
and commercial prosperity would at Unce
set IN.
That this ves a correct view Of tbs situa-
ton has been proved by replies to letters

firms in various sections Of the south. Every
line of trade was covered and specific infor-
nation was requested. The answers were
ell Of the most hopeful and encouraging
character. indicating preparations for
year of activity aud profit.
The enormous cotton crop and low prices
of last season were the causes Of a strtn-
gency in money matters which affected not
only the cotton producers, but the banks
and other enterprises as well. This strin-
gency has been removed, there is a sufficient
amount OF money in southern banks to
meet all ordinary business demands, the

Speaking Of Senator Nelson w. Aldrich,
Of Rhode Island, the ultra protectionist
and leader in the Senate that passed the
Mckinley bill, the New York Press says:
he seldom has anything to say in an in-
terview. In this respect he is unlike
Speaker Crisp, who is generally willing to
talk freely and frankly on national issues.
Senator Aldrich is'afraid he will commit
himself; Speaker Crisp doesn't care whether
heaoes or not" In this matter of inter.
views each man illustrates his party. The
republicans, having the interest OF the
few at heart. cannot take the masses into
Their confidence. The democrats, always
considering the welfare of the masses, not
the classes, have nothing TO conceal from
the public.

CURRENT COMMENT.
Civil sarvica Reform

@ From the Baltimore Ne,os (Dem.h
Civil service reform is prerequisite to an
efficient government, and the Democratic party
take as many offices as possible out of politics.
The falling Off Of MIR. HArrison's vote in the
very places where he attempted to strengthen
himself by distribution OF spois shows the
truth of the statement that every appointment
makes nine enemies and one migrate.
