A BUSINESS VIEW,

The New York Price Current, one of the most influential among the trade journals, is very complimentary to the South. It says: "Capital is rapidly flowing to the South. The remarkable industrial progress in the Southern States is attracting con- siderable attention among New York capi- talists, and giving stability to Southern railroad stocks. It is only question of time when Southern railroad securities will dominate Wall Street, instead of the great Pacific roads of the far West, which pass through farming country and depend upon movement of the crops for earnings. Northern capital is pouring into the Southern States and transforming the broad acres into workshops and villages, expanding the iron and cotton manufac- turing industries, assisting railway equip ment, pushing electrical construction aud promoting new enterprises in the hard ware, lumber, phosphate, machinery, building and many other lines. As the South has made splendid record in such industries as iron, cotton oil, sugar, naval stores, phosphate, fertilizers, tobacco, peanuts, oysters, etc., why should not good progress be made in the more recent departures? Northern capitalists have con- fidence in Southern manufactures, and that is the secret of their great interest in the welfare of that section. They realize the fact that large field ia ripe for profitable investment, and are acting accordingly, instead of risking capital on foreign ven- lures. The question of railroad freights may soon be settled to the satisfaction of manufacturers, as considerable railroad construction is found necessary in the more progressive States to meet the demand for increased transportation. We have always believed in the South as an industrial cen- ter, and it is some satisfaction to see ths fondest hopes almost realized.'
 
 THE sentimental reasons given by Con- gressmen for refusing to vote for gold bonds leads to the reflection that men are governed more by sentiment than by reason. If sentiment were confined to matters of sentiment no harm would result. In marriage, for instance, sentiment should have sway, for without it love would not exist. Even in religion sentiment governs to large extent. Napoleon was the least sentimental Of men. He made everything bend to the good of the state.
 A CONTEMPORARY compares Tom Reed to Falstaff-.. broad, beefy. cowardly.' The ialtcE POihs oA Sohi baiiooh ooOo T oASeah au injustice. The true Falstaff, as portrayed in the ''Henrys," and not in the "Wives of Windsor" was a knight of gentle birth, a man of chivalrous impulses, great humor, and as brave as his companions. Had he been otherwise he would not have been the companion of his Prince. His love for sack was his great failing.
