GROWTH OF THE SOUTH.
The Industrial Development in the Week
Ending July 23.

Ending July 81.
The Tradcsman, Chattanooga,
Tennessee, has issued its review of
the industrial situation in the South
for the week ending July %, and
states that its reports received from
correspondents at all important
points in the Southern States general
ly concur in saying that there are
signs of renewed activity IN bu iness
affairs.
The demand for the output OF the
Southern iron furnaces is somewha:
lessened because of the shutting down
of rolling mills in the Pittsburg dis
trict, but fair sales continue and
prices are maintained. No stoppages
IF iron works are reported in the
Southern field. Lumber continues
in better demand and the activity is
constantly increasing.
The activity in cotton manufacture
continues, and the number of new
mills in process of organization is
steady on the increase. The July
semi-annusl statements of many
Southern textile plants have been
made public during the week. They
are uniformly encouraging and show
earnings ranging from five to twenty
per cent. for the half year.
The building industry is now at its
highest stage of development in the
Southern cities, and reports OF large
structures for mechanical and mer-
camille purposes, and many churches,
schools and residences are received,
indicating that there is no lack either
of money for present expenditures,
or of confidence in the future.
The Tradesman reports IS new
Industries established or incorporated
during the week, together with 10
engagements of manufactures, and

THE obtuseness with which Judge
Turney reads the Banners advice to
withdraw, is remarkable, not to say
discouraging. OF course the soldier
statesman ought to withdraw! He
has cleared the Democratic path to
victory of all its rotten and unseemly
rubbish, why not step aside now and
let one OF these dress parade fellows
enjoy the feast? Judge Turney is act
ing very selfish indeed in this mat
ter. He is not allowing other Demo-
Gratis u chance. He is a regular mo-
uOpolist! He gobbles up one county
after another as fast as the elections
can be held. Is it not strange that
great men like Grover Cleveland and
Peter Turney will not recognize the
distinguished services. of such power
full and disinterested friends as the
New York Sun and Nashville Ban
der? If Cleveland and Turney would
withdraw, and the Sun and Banner
should name Beast Butler and Stahl-
man, then the country would be
saved.

MILITARY BILL PARED.

tween Crisp and Reed.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 12.-The house
passed its first regular appropriation bill
today, and representatives are congrat-
ulating themselves that at last the regu-
lar work of the session has been en-
tered upon. But a few provisions of the
military academy appropriation bill re-
manned to be passed upon this morning,
but when the committee of the whole
reported the amended measure to the
house the Republicans demanded the
yeas and nays onoHe or two of the Dem
ocratic amendments reducing various
items of appropriations They were
voted down. however, and the bill as
finally passed contains various reduc-
tons aggregating in the total about
$4,000.
On motion of Mr.. Belknap, OF Mich
igan. April 2 was set apart for eulogies
20 the late NJ. Ii. Ford, of Michigan. The
house then went into committee of the
whole OH the private calendar. The
first bill on the calendar was one for the
relief OF Louisa o. Lowell, of Missis-
sippi, and other heirs of Gen. John A.
Quitman, which. after a short debate,
was laid aside with a favorable recon-
mendation. The next measure in order
was one authorizing the postmaster
general to credit Alma Jones ST., late
postmaster at Indianapolis. with the
sum of S2.34S, the amount of loss SuS-
tanned by him by robbery. This meas
ure was mainly discussed all the after
noon, and Mr.. Bum, Of North Carolina.
finally moved that the bill be reported
to the house. with the recommendation
that it be laid on the table. The result
of a standing vote was 65 to rs.

suggested that evidently there was
quorum present.

tleman from Maine Will rise IN his
place and address the chair and make
that statement to the chair, the chair
will answer.

entire confidence in the chair, should
not hesitate to do so.
The motion was lost-yeas 60, nays
101, and the bill was laid aside with
a favorable recommendation. The
committee then rose and the Lowell bill
was passed. On motion of Mr.. Cochran,
of New York, the memorial ceremonies
in respect to the late Representative
Spinold were postponed from tomorrow
until March 81. On motion of Mr..
Picker, of South Dakota, March IL was
set apart for the delivery of eulogies
upon the late j. r. Gamble, of South
Dakota. The Aquilla Jones bill then
came up again but without action. The
house adjourned until tomorrow.

Mail to Farmers.

An Eastern farmer sums up the adj
vantages of free delivery OF mail to
farmers in the following:
1.-THE minister. the doctor, the mer-
chant and the artisan are all residents of
the village, and it is difficult for the
farmer to get word to any of them with
out hitciiing up team for the special
purpose at the expense of good deal of
time and trouble. This seclusion is
serious disadvantage to the farmer. 1t
keeps him out of touch with the
great interests of the day. He
does not take daily, newspaper,
for in the busy season he may not go to,
or have communication with the post
Office for week at a time. He often
suffers pecuniary loss for want of ready
access to the mails. When work is
pressing he thinks he cannot spare the
time or team for long drive to the
pos: Office. On this account important
business matters fail to reach him in
season. Notices of public meetings of
various kinds are of no use, because
coming too late. If the postoffice could
be brought practically to his door, it
would add immensely to his comfort
and convenience, besides actually
enhancing the pecuniary value of his
farm and business"

WASHINGTON, Feb. 12.-The ways
