The South. Hidden wcnlth.

1t is known, of course, to those who
make a study OF such matters that the
south is rich in coal and iron and many
other minerals, but the great majority OF
the people of the north think of the
south almost exclusively in connection
with cotton, sugar, rice, tobacco and other
agricultural products. Visitors to the
Cotton States Exposition, who know moth
ing Of the south's mineral resources, win
be surprised at the display there of the
south's hidden wealth.
The exhibit is not as complete as it
should be, nor is it arranged to the best
advantage, but there is enough of it to
convince anyone capable of comprehend
ing the possibilities which 1t suggests that
the time is not distant when the south's
mineral products win approach, If they
do not equal, her agricultural pro-
ducts. Her deposits of iron ore.
limestone and coal are almost in
exhaustable, and extend over
vast territory. She has also petroleum
fields. phosphate mines, marble quarries.
almost all kinds of gems and mines of
gold. Her gold mines have never been
worked extensively, but the prospect is
that they will be soon because by new
methods of extracting gold from the ore
they can be made to pay handsome profit
The gold mines are in North Carolina.
South Carolina, Georgia and Alabama.
Under the impetus given to gold mining
recently by the closing down of many of
the silver mines we may reasonably ex-
pcct to see a great deal of gold mined
in each of these states in the next few
years.
A curious exhibit is composed of fresh
water pearls found in southern rivers.
Some of these pearls are very valuable
Enough of them are valuable to Justify
the belief that the search for pearls in
southern rivers is likely to be much more
extensive and thorough than it has ever
yet been.
1t would, of course. be impossible in a
brief article 10 give any extended account
of the south's hidden wealth. All that it
is proposed to DO is to call attention to the
fact that the south is very rich in min
erals and that the proof of this statement
is found in the exhibit at the Cotton States
EXPOSITION

The Kentucky senntor-hip.

In Kentucky the republicans elected not
only their state ticket. but also a major
ity Of the members OF the lower House
Of the legislature. A good many Of the
upper house held over. and the legislature
now stands on joint ballot as follows:
Sixty-eight democrats. sixty-eight repub-
Hcans and two populists. In the House
there are forty-six democrats and fifty
two republicans and two populists. In
the Senate there are twenty-five demo-
Gratis and sixteen republicans.
Neither the democrats nor the republi-
cans. as the legislature stands. can elect
a United States senator to succeed Sena-
tor Blackburn without the help Of the
populists. The republicans could and
probably viii. unseat enough OF the DEM
ocratic members of the House to give
themselves a majority in a joint session
of the two houses. If they should not
think It advisable to do that the two
populists would have it in their power
TO name the next senator from Kentucky,
provided they named a democrat or
republican. If they are in hearty sym
patty with the free silver coinage doc
trine Of their party they would doubtless
vote with the democrats and elect a dem
ocrat in harmony with their views on
the silver question. provided all Of the
democrats would support a silverite for
senator.
But would all the democrats vote for a
silverite? The chances are they would
not. 1t is asserted that a majority of
them are sound money men. If that is
the case Senator Blackburn has no chance
for succeeding himself. Some of Senator
Blackburn's friends are contending that
ne still has a prospect for reelection.
They. of course, think the sound money
democrats can be induced to support Sen
ator Blackburn, provided the populists
will agree to vote for him.
1t is probable they are counting too
strongly on getting the support of the
sound money democrats for Senator
Blackburn. The sound money democrats
think Senator Blackburn is, to a great
extent, responsible for the disaster the
democratic party suffered on Nov. 5,
and it would be an extremely difficult
matter to induce them to forget his re
fusal to abide by the platform adopted by
the democratic state convention.
At present the outlook is that the re-
publicans viii find a way to elect a
republican United States senator. If they
should not. it is much more likely that
a sound money democrat, rather than a
free silver coinage democrat, would be
elected. The chance that Senator Black
burn has of being returned to the Senate
is so slight as to be hardly worth consid-
ering.

savannah and Tourist Rates.

We confess we are all at sea in respect
to tourist rates to Savannah. We have
published a great deal about the matter,
but we don't feel satisfied that we have
given the public information that is alb
solutely correct. Our source of informa-
tion has been two estimable gentlemen,
both thoroughly sincere. and each conf
dent, no doubt that he has informed the
public correctly. One is the commissioner
Of the Savannah freight and transporta-
ton bureau and the other is the pas
senger traffic manager of the Plant sys-
TEN. Last Thursday the commissioner.
in a communication to the Morning
News, said: by the way, how did it
happen that Col Wrenn did not tell your
reporter yesterday that the old Penn
sylvania' had consented to put on
tourists rates to Savannah? have had
the privilege for once Of anticipating Col.
Wrenn, as l announced the fact at a
meeting of the freight bureau yesterday"
The commissioner was very sure that
tourist rates had been granted to Sa-
vannah, or he would not have announced
it at a meeting of the freight bureau.
But, as matter of fact, had tourist rates
been granted? We are sure we don't
know. We thought, when we published
the foregoing. that the question had
been finally ana forever settled, but in
the Morning News Of yesterday we find
the following in an interview with the
passenger traffic manager in respect to
tourist rates; Several kilograms have
been sent to the Pennsylvania railroad
authorities and others, asking about the
matter. and replies have been received
stating that no such rates have been put
in effect"
We submit that in view of the informa-
ton received from the two sources men
toned, the public are just about as much
in the dark as to whether Savannah has
tourist rates or not. as they were several
weeks ago. We do not pretend to say
which of the two gentlemen is mistaken.
We don't know. But we feel safe in
saying that the information both of the
gentlemen have furnished cannot be cor
rect. We sincerely hope the matter will
be settled in Savannah's favor before the
opening of the tourist season.

From Punch
I'm the Yankee. to whip all creation,
And own all creation also;
If rivals should seek explanation,
l tip them the name of Monroe:
I'll tip them the name of Monroe,
The doctrine called after Monroe:
And 'tisn't surprising that 1 should keep
Whilst holding that doctrine Monroe!
OF the universe I'll be director.
That's quite in accord with Monroe;
And if there's no room for the others,
The others of course, have to go
When l tip them the name Of Monroe
The doctrine named after Monroe
Though to them abhorrent, with me it is
current,
Then hurrah for old Snap-up Monroe!
From the Presidents chair it was stated,
Like rooster our Eagle will crow;
And If lesser fowls kick IN shindies,
Well tip EN- the name of Monroe,
The magnanimous name of Monroe
The doctrine named after Monroe;
Ger world wide dominions a-waving its
pinions
Our Eagle will squeal-for Monroe!
Thus I'll blow myself out and my filings
From ocean TO ocean Shall go.
And from pole to pole also; all hemispheres
Pan out for me-ask Monroe!
ASK octOpus-handed MonrOei

Some folk think this way hard, but l

To stick TO the text Of Monroe!
Our Ambassador must be-in London
A smart go-a-head plenipo,
AND, II Salisbury does cut up didos,
Must tip him the name of Monroe;
Explain to him Mr.. Monroe,
And the doctrine called after Monroe
Then, If things look squiffy, back-down
in jiffy,
And drop-for the present-Monroe!

Adolph and Rebecca live in Baltimore.
They had been lovers. but had quarreled.
Rebecca was still devoted, but Adolph was
cruelty changed and cold. Rebecca had
heard from a fortune teller Of the potency
of love powders. She resolved to try
some of them on Adolph, and see if they
would not revive the flame that had al
most, if not quite, gone out. She did it.
She put some of the powders in Adolph's
soup. He became sick at the stomach
a most unromantic thing to do Doctors
were sent for. They brought a stomach
pump and pumped him out. 1t was
found that Rebecca's love powders con-
tanned poison. 1t is not believed that
she had bad designs upon him. She
merely wished to make him love her
more. The result is that he loves her
less.

Some time ago Secretary Morton, of the
Agricultural Department created some
thing Of a sensation - stating for publ
cation that he had conclusive proof that
a certain congressman had been selling
the seeds that We're given him free by the
government for gratuitous distribution
among his constituents; that he had the
congressman's name, a check given in pay
ment for the seeds, with the congress-
mans Endorsement on the back. and other
proof Of dishonest practice. 1t was the
secretary's intention to expose the whole
thing in his report, but he was dissuaded
from doing so by the friends of the con
gresham involved. It has become known
that the congressman was a member from
Massachusetts, and it is said the secre-
tary has his name and all of the evidence
ready to submit to the House at any mo-
ment in case an investigation is suggested
or ordered. 1t is to be hoped that the in
vestigation will be ordered. The country
would like to know the name of the mem
Der from righteous New England who
hlched the seeds from his constituents.

Lord One evening, after school, four

1 wrote Latin couplet, purporting that
this was very worthy sacrifice to very
poor Lord. and placed it on the head of

the sheep and made great oUtcry against

to ascertain the actors in this farce and
proof was soon obtained My handwrit-
ing disclosed my part in the case, and
the result was prompt discharge of the
culprits from school, but poor Lord lost
his place because of his manifest inability
to govern his unruly pupils.n

4 Vow Excention.

A new typewriter story comes from In
dia. 1t appears that one of the English
judges in India was. an expert on the ma
chine, and it occurred to him to use il
for the making of judicial notes. The
machine was conveyed into court. when
certain novelty was impaired to the
the tinkle of the bell which Indicated
that a line had been completed The prfs-
oner was found guilty and sentenced
Promptly he appealed. on the ground
that, instead Of listening to the evidence
the judge had while away his time bv
playing on musical instrument. This
was a technicality, as well as a tvDe-
writer, and quite good enough reason for
bad man to get new trial.

There was no divine interference" in
the hberating OF VIII Purvis, the Mis-
sisslppi murderer, as related in the dis
patches of yesterday. His release was
effected by lot Of desperadoes who de-
liberately set themselves above the law,
and defed its authority and DEGREES.
1t seems that there has been com
bination to defeat the ends OF Justice
in this Purvis case ever since the fell
low was sentenced TO death. and the
circumstances cast the suspicion that the
sheriff who had charge Of Purvis, was
a party to the conspiracy. 1t will be re-
membered that Purvis was brought TO the
gallows one time and hanged" and that
the rope came united as he dropped, and
he fell to the ground unhurt. The sher-
If declared that divine interference"
stopped the execution, and refused to
drop the murderer again. 1t is observed,
according to the reports, that the muir
derer was released from the jail with
keys previously supplied in some mys-
ferrous manner. which again puts the
sheriff under suspicion.

There is the promise Of a rare political
fight in Kentucky next year, in the event
that Senator Blackburn shall fail of re-
election to the Senate. Mr.. Blackburn's
home is in the famous Ashland district,
SO long represented by Mr.. W. c. P Breck-
inridge The district will be represented
in the next congress by Mr.. w. c. Owens,
who defeated Mr. Breckenridge in one of
the most memorable of recent campaigns
in Kentucky. II is a foregone conclusion
that Mr.. Breckenridge will be a candidate
for the seat in the next campaign. There
has been bad blood between Mr.. Black
burn and Mr.. Breckenridge ever since the
famous trial in Washington. The rumor is
that if Mr.. Blackburn fails to get back to
the Senate he will enter the race against
Mr.. Breckenridge for the nomination for
congress by the Democratic party Of the
Ashland district II things work out so
that these two men shall be the opposing
candidates, there will be some fun in the
canvass. sure.

refused to drink bottle Of beer ana was
sent to Jail for contempt of court There
are great many people who will sym
pathise with the verdict The way of it,
however, was that the man was sum
moned in court as an expert witness TO
prove what was beer that would intoxi-

to taste the contents of a certain bottle

The Visitors From Chicago.
From the Columbia Is. CO State Dem).

The visit of the Chicago delegation of
business men to the Atlanta exposition
and to other points in the south must
have its good results with guests and
hosts alike. There is nothing like per-
sonal contact for allaying prejudlces
correcting false. impressions, and pre-
venting Misunderstanding. Such con-
tact is especially desirable between the
business men Of the two great sections
of the union. The more such men see
of one another the better for the country.

of the so-called silver democrats" their
treatment by the more reputable repub-

Of that faction seems derermined to split
the party, unless it can have its little

The decision Of the supreme court in
the case involving the Berliner patent on
telephone appliances means that the gov
eminent has the right to take action for
annulment Of patent, and prosecute it to
the highest court, in cases where there
is reason to believe a patent has been
procured or its life has been heightened
by fraudulent practices. The claim Of
the government is that the Berliner pat
ent was given a long lease of life through
sharp practices, and suit was brought
to annul the patent.
