Voorhees, and Free Coinage.

WASHINGTON, Nov. There are
rumors that Voorhees, will introduce
a free coinage silver bill at the OPEN
ing OF the regular session of Congress
Voorhees, declines to Talk about the
matter, but it is pointed out that he
has always been u silver man and de-
clares that in the debate on the repeal
Of the bill be was no less a friend Of
silver thBn before. At any rate it is
thoroughly understood that the silver
question was not shelyed by the pas
sage Of the repeal bill. On the con-
trary, the silver men say the fight has
only begun. When Congress assem-
bles they propose TO keep it we'll to
the front In connection with every
great issue between the parties, from
the tariff to the repeal Of tho federal
election laws. Every stage Of the tar
itf discussion will be- punctured by
pertinent queries by the silver men,
tending 20 prove that it was demon
strated that it WIS silver and not tho
Mckinley tariff which caused the fl
nancial depression. Indeed, it ia in
tended that the silver men shall act
as a body Of obstructionists, as did
the Parnellites in Parliament, until
silver shall receive Il herring.

A LOVE SONG.

Love came one day to nv lattice stealing,
His inmost heart to my own revealing
Came and pleaded he might stay:
But only asked that he cease his kneel-
ing.
Laughed when his sad eyes went with
feeling.
He turned his footsteps and wont away;
And sang: Time brings IN its flight
all healing
And love will WOO me another day."
waited long, but no love came stealing
TO latticed bower as he came Of old;
And time had brought in It's fight no
healing,
But bitter pain aod my hearts revealing;
So | sought love out to keep and to
hold
Sought him with eyes that were wet with
feeling,
Sought and found, by his still form kneel-
ing,
That never cgain will his wings unfold
Then wept for love which was dead
and cold.

THE SOUTH.
RICHARD Fl. EDNONDS.

The solid basis of southern devel
Opment evidenced by the enormous
expense OF its agricultural, and
coal, and manufacturing lndu strlet
since the war, enabled 1t to pass
through the Barring failure and the
consequent universal stagD Datior IN
finances, and low prices for cotton
and iron, better than any other
section Of the country, when 1t was
confronted by new danger. Fa'
naticism run mad had fatbered q
measure which the conservative
members of the party in which il
originated denounced as a menace
to the peace of the whole country.
The Force bill became an issue in
politics, and while there was pos
sibility OF such measure being
enacted, and inevitably pl eciplta>
ting a perpetual race war through
out the South, a revival in business
and in the investment Of outside
money in that section was almost
hopeless. The Force Bill is now
forever dead, and the South has
the assurance OF friendly national
legislation.
The solid basis on which the ag-
ricnltural, the coal, and the iron
interests now rests, and the prom
ising outlook before them are du-
plcated III all other branches of
business in the South. Everything
is on a good foundation. The
whole south, enthused with the
certainty of freedom from polite
al troubles. strengthened in all It's
business operations by the expert
ence of the past, with more power.
fnI financial influences working 10
It's favor than ever before, Starts
the new year with the assurance
that 1t is entering upon career of
greater progress and prosperity
than it has enjoyed for thirty
years.
Ten years ago the south's agri>
cultural, manufacturing, and min>
ing products aggregated in value
about 81, 200, 900 900; now they are
about $2,I0O,Oo0,oOo. The increase
in population during that period
was only l8 to 20 per cent. Prac-
t!cally the same people have doubl- |
81 their railroad mllage and trebled
aud quad1uplcd traffic; they have
more than quadrupled their iron
and coal production trebled their
cotton mills, added $2,00O,0oO,OOO
to the assessed value Of their prop |
erty, doubled their manufacturing
Interests. This Is what they have
done in ten years. Those who live
to see another ten year period end |
ed, and compare the growth Of the
south during that time with what |
has been in the past ten years, will
be astonished at the difference, so |
great will be the progress of the |
future.
With abiding faith in the truth |
of the statement, which the writer
has so often made, that the south |
taken as a whole. Is the best cOun-
try in the world, with the greatest !
possibilities of wealth. have never |
doubted that the time would come |
when that section would be the |
&C entire of the most active Industrial |
of this or any other
country. That time is coming.
