Southern pevelopment.

( The number and character of the sug-
P gestions for developing the resources of
the south received by the committee of
twenty, appointed at the conference of
representative northern and southern
I business men at the Fifth avenue hotel
on June u, justify the conclusion that
/ this movement to advance southern in
/ terests is something more than talk. II
. is business. and those who are taking
part in it are very much in earnest.
This movement to bring the south's ad-
vantages to the notice of home seek
ers and capitalists originated at the
southern industrial congress that
met in Augusta last spring. It
was taken up by prominent northern and
southern men in New York, and there are
indications now that the south will Join
heartily with men in New York in direct
ing immigration and capital to the south
ern states
The suggestions made 10 the committee
for encouraging southern development
embrace two plans-one being business
corporation to be managed in the inter
ests of its stockholders, and the other
a cooperative organization. having for its
object the helping of all industries that
need help.
IL is evident that at this time it
is possible to give the south
start toward much greater wealth
and prosperity The whole country
is watching conditions in the south, and
what is seen gives very great satisfac-
tion. The feeling is growing among cap
italists that they would rather risk in
vestments in the south than in any other
section.
While the south has made astonishing
progress since the close of the civil war,
she has not made nearly so much as she
will make in the next few years. Very
soon their will be apparent much greater
activity in the opening up of farms, the
establishing of factories and the develop
ing of mines. BY the end of this cen
fury the south win be vastly richer than
she is now.

The Bold BAD SmuERler.

1t was the lady of the house herself who
answered the bell at one of the palat1al resi-.
dences on Woodward avenue the house maid
being engaged in peeling pineapples for pre-
serves, says the Detroit free Press.
What do you want:' she asked Of the per
sen on the doorstep, an impuslve looking
man. with roll of rugs under one arm.
"Sh. said the impulsive one, not so loud.
I've got some rugs here that 1 will sell you
for song, only you mustn't let any body
know
why are the stolen"
The person made a speaking trumpet with
one hand and whispered in sepulchral tone:
No: Struggled
Come right in said the lady, and ushered
him into the hall. Carefully closing the door
she invited him to display his wares.
He ala So and as the rugs were spread ont

The Plague at Hong Kong.

There are curious features connected
with the plague at Hong Kong which, ac-
cording to the latest advices, has not
abated in the least One of these feat
ures is that Europeans are not liable TO be
attacked by the disease, only eight of
them so far having died of it, and an
other feature is that towns close by Hong
Kong are wholly free from it. For in
stance. not a single case of the scourge
has appeared at Macao, a Portuguese set
Element in sight of Hong Kong.
The resistance of the Chinese to all
sanitary measures is something that it is
not easy to understand. The town au-
thorities proposed to burn the buildings
were compelled to abandon their purpose
by threats of the Chinese that they would
use the torch elsewhere if the sanitary
measure was carried into effect.
The number of deaths is from 100 to 1870 a
day in the town and the disease shows no
signs of abating. Very little effort is
made TO save the lives of those who are
attacked. In fact, nothing can be done.
There is no known remedy for the
disease and the Chinese doctors,
therefore, are as successful in their
treatment of it as are the European
physicians. Only about two out of
hundred of the patients recover.
Such a death rate shows clearly how ter
rible the character of the disease is.
The fact that Europeans are not at
tackled, except in rare instances, is a
pretty good indication that the disease is
largely, if not wholly, due to filth, it be-
ing almost entirely confined to those parts
of the town which are IN a very unsani-
tary condition

Wipe out the False Term.

From the Richmond (Va.) Dispatch Dem.
We hope that the events of this week will
result in striking the word ''retel" out of the
vocabulary OF the northern people and
especially out of the vocabulary of the repub-
cans. These men have hitherto taken every
available opportunity to declare that the ad
ministration Of the government was in the
hands Of the ex-rebels. Wen, has the country
suffered in this great crisis OF its existence
because the government is in the hands of
the southern people Have not these southern
men, on the contrary, been the mainstay Of
to the south rather than the north that All
lovers Of their country look today as the
home OF CONSERVATISM and law and order.

Kolb's prospects for being elected gov

He still calls himself a democrat of that
kind, but he stands on the populist plat
form. Not content with affiliating with
the popuists, he announces he is pro-
tectionist, and the Home Market Club of
Boston, republican organization, is sup
plying hun with money with which to
break the solid south.
According to his own statement he is a

kind of a following he has He has
