Dearth Of Money In the South.

The Sout.. can never expect TO be
rich as long as 1t does not produce
what IL consumes, and the trouble is
well accounted for by Governor
Northern, Of Georgia, in a recent
number of the Southern Cultivator.
The Jackson Clarion-Ledger says'fo
instance, Gov. Northern takes up the
single item of hats and shows that
the Southern people send millions OF
dollars TO the North and East every
year for hats. And why do we send
to the North for OUR hats? For the
very good and simple reason that the
South makes no hats.
The cash paid for these hats is
never returned TO us; IL goes TO th he
manufacturer a thousand miles away
and there it remains: it is money we
dig out Of the ground making five
cent cotton. A town of the size of
Jackson spends at least $50. 900 per
annum for hats, twice as much for
shoes, and five times az much for
clothing, oil Of which comes from
distant States or still more distant
countries. The South spends mil
lions of dollars every year for articles
mentioned above and untold sums
for thousands Of other necessary ar.
ticles. We send North for our but
tons, our shoe strings, our collars,
cravats, buckles pins, needles, pen
ellis, pens, school books, finger rings.
eye glasses, clocks, etc., etc. We
send West for bvggies, guns, wa
gons, 'plows, furniture, all sorts of
machinery, and thousands of other
things which could be manufactured
just as well, and perhaps better,
right in Mississippi than anywhere
else in the world"

MIR. CLEVELAND ON CURRENCY.

Last Mon lay President Cleveland
addressed Congress in a special mes
sage, dwelling on what shall be done
to maintain the governments reserve.
1t is evident to the President that
there Is q constant drain upon that
reserve, and unless action Is taken
to keep the reserve rcplenished, the
Secretary will in the near future be
unable to redeem the government 9
obSlations In gold, and consequently
we shall he forced upon a silver
basis; that is to say, that every pay
ment now made upon the basis of
100 cents in gold will be made upon
basis of the value of the amount of
bullion in silver dollar, or 61 cents,
which will entail loss to every cre-
ditor OF 39 cents on every dollar that
Is due him-a practical Reputation
10 tne extent OF 4-lO OF q dollar. The
President say "while / am not un.
friendly to silver, and while / desire
to see 1t recognized to such an extent
as is consistent with the financial
safety and the preservation of ma
tional honor and credit, [ am not
willing to see gold entirely abolished
from our currency and finances. To
avert such consequence, I believe
thorough and radical remedial legisla.
tion should. be promptly passed. /
therefore beg the Congress to give the
subject immediate attention." The
message is mainly to recommend
the issuance Of large amount Of lone
time gold bonds bearing 8 per cent.

The Glorious South.

The generosity and humanity of
the Southern states can always be
relied upon in cases OF emergency
and necessity. To the half frozen
and starving inhabitants of the north
west, especially of Nebraska, whole
car loads Of clothing and provisions
have been forwarded from the South
to relieve their unspeakable suffer-
ing and lamentable physical condi.
tions.
Certainly, in the face of the
South's action ind er the circum-
stances, it will not be difficult to
induce our northwestern friends,
who have felt the digging Of proper
ty and misfortuhe's tooth, to quit
their wintry homes and seek more
congenial climes in land of plenty
beneath such suns as only this Sec
tion Of the Union can offer. Here
tie working man is blest with all that
life OF honest toll can boast. HIS
opportunities are boundless in o Sec
tion the resources Of which are inex-
haustible. He is invited to come
where cordial welcome awaits him.

THE TIME HAS COME.

The Board OF Mayor and Alder
men meets TO day in regular session,
and before that body will be placed
for consideration letter received by
the mayor from an Ohio firm. The
letter is an offer to illuminate Bay
st. LOUIS. The company in question
will furnish poles, lamps and men to
attend TO the lights for mere rental
consideration. If-this is unsatisfac-
tory the city has the privilege Of
purchasing the lights and operate
them but this 1t is thought will re-
quire too much money on the spot
and the former plaa preferable.
What the Board will do to. day in
this mater Of Illuminating the city
remains TO be seen, should they fail
to do their duty they should at once
be declared wholly incapable Of gov
erning our city. The Echo has
earnestly and faithfully striven foi
what 1t thinks Bay st. Louis ought
to have, and we again beg the Board
to remember, before passing frivo-
lous judgement, that lights for the
city is not luxury but ON absolute
necessity.

Memphis Commercial-ApDeal.l
The Catholic Journal of Memphis.
fn reply To a correspondent who asks
when the papal decree relative to sc.
cret societies will be promulgated in
this diocese, gives the following
interesting information:
The Journal has no knowledge of
when, il ever, the decree will be pro-
mulgated in Tennessee. That doubt.
less depends upon Monsignor Satolli
or Archbishop Elder If either
should notify or authorize Bishop
Byrne to enforce it in this diocese IL
will doubtless be done forwith. The
bishop "ould then have no choice in
the matter. If, howevers The saw fit
10 promulgate 1t he could do 80 at
any time without any notification
from any higher ecclesiastical author
ity. for the decree is addressed to
the Catholic archbishops end bishops
of the United States. While IL goes
without saying that Bishop Byrne is
thoroughly Catholic, he Is also tho,
oughly American, and we do not think
he is unnecessarily anxious to do any
thing that might retard the progress
OF Catholicity Ia Tennessee.

Senator Hill never spoke truer o

said Of the Democratic majority in
Congress: "Why should we put
unnecessary obstacles in the way of
a successful administration of the
government, or wait, falter, haggle,
or do nothing-and turn over Dem
ocratlc administration to the tendef
mercies of an incoming Republican
Congress for relief? Such a course
from party standpoint is suicidal,
demoralizlng, unpatriotic.

THAT DOG ORDINANCE.

Everybody in Bay st Louis is
familiar with the dog ordinance which
was framed by the present admins
tration. AT the time Of its becom-
ing law it met with general approx
al because it was thought TO rid
tie city Of its countless ours run
ming all over the streets. For q
while the work progressed In way
satisfactory to all, those that thought
their dog worth keeping paid their
dollar, those that didn't had them
killed. But now the work has ceased
to go on, hence the trouble. There
IS still large number Of dogs roam
ing throughout the town without the
necessary tdg. TIE EcHo and the
public in general wish to know
whose duty IL is TO attend to this
matter and why is 1t not done. The
city must do one or the other-see
that the ordinance Is enforced or
money refunded those whom were
made to pay.
II the owner of unlicensed dogs
are violating the law is not the officer
appointed to regulate the fiagrancy
committing like violation, and il
the former is subject to fine is NJ t
the latter also subject to the same
or some kind Of reprimand for neg
lect Of duty2 We ask the Board to
investigate this matter.

A CANNERY BY AL MEANS.

In recent issue The Echo took
occasion TO suggest the advlsability
kof establishing cannery in Bay St
Louis, and the article having met
with so much favor that we are en-
couraged to dwell more on the sub
ject, having exercised considerable
interest in the matter.
Some months ago Gloster, on the
| tho Illinois Central railroad, in this
/ State, was the saddest and poores,
town in Mississippi, and since the
citizens Of that place have realized in
the midst of what hard times they
were situated and having associated
their efforts for financial betterment
the outcome proved to be the estab-
lishment of cannery. Gloster, as
the result Of little energy and en-
terprise, has grown wonderfully and
the people are prospering. A can
merry in Bay St. LOUIS to work vege-
table and fruit all the year round
would exactly I'll the bill to eliminate
the prevailing hard times. The peo-
pie here depend too. much ofY stran-
gers from New Orleans and other
places for support instead of first
helping themselves and then as kind
of side line reap in addition the
two or three months benefit to be
derived from the stay of strangers.
All the vegetable and fruit consumed
ny the cannery could positively be
produced right here at home, and
from the present surplus of labor
hereabouts IL would be very easy
matter to secure help. We already
hear distant sounds OF red-nannel
mouthed, double jointed tongued
mossbacks croaking and trying to say
something Of the enormous cost such
on industry would entail ana would
never pay for itself. Such doubts
can readily be put to fight, figures
being at command, and as figures
never lie the assertion will be well
backed when it is learned that only
about $350.00 will put the pIant up
complete.
First-The capacity of the Gloster
caanery is 5000 2-pound. or 1000
3-pound cans rer day.
Second-The cost of machinery
was $l47.50, laid down at Gloster.
Third-Bought of A. X. Robbins
& Co., Baltimore, Md.
Fourth-Any ordinary person of
good judgment can follow the direc-
tions given in the "Southern Gamer :"
work on canning in the South, pub
lished by the Mirror OF Commerce,
Savannah, Ga.
Fifth-A house 20x6G is necessary
with a brick furnace. The cost of
house and furnace need not ex-
ceed two hundred dollars.
There is not the least shadow of a
doubt to believe $3.50. 90 could not be
raised by subscription in Bay St.
LOUIS and even a little more tnan
that amount II found to be necessary.
The benefits Of such an enterprise
are varied and numerous and should
not be allowed to slip by. The mis-
take OF the Southern man Is he ex-
pects returns double the amount of
capital invested while the Northern
man is content and prosperous with
one-eight of what his less fortunate
Southel n brother expects.

During Thursday night he dallisd with

Henry was the victim of as unique and
