ARepubIIcan Party in the south.

There are indications that the Repub-
Iican Darty. and not the silver party. Is
about 10 gain a strong foothold in the
south. The Morning News predicted re-
Gently that the dissatisfaction felt
throughout the south with the late con-
Eress would result in making the Repub-
lican party a very respectable party in
the south. While congress was showing
IT'S inability TO handle the money ques-
tion successfully 1T was not an uncommon
thing 10 hear influential democrats say
they would not object 10 the return Of
the Republican party TO power.
a day or two ago the Morning News
published dispatches from South Caro-
lima to the effect that in a number Of
towns OF that state young men Of infu-
ence are talking seriously Of joining the
Republican party and forming repubu-
can clubs. The populist party does not
satisfy thinking people. and the new sill
yer party can never amount 10 anything.
THOSE who are dissatisfied with the Dem
ocratic party therefore are much more
likely TO unite with the Republican party
than with the populist party or the silver
party.
Nearly a year ago many Of the most
influential sugar planters OF Louisiana al
lied themselves with the Republican party
They worked for and voted with that
party ga the last congressional elections.
and now they are preparing TO convert
Louisiana to that party. They have sub
scribed $4,000. which is TO be increased
10 $4,000. TO start a republican paper in
New Orleans. The first issue of the paper
is to appear about May /. 1t is to be a
daily morning paper.
It will cost more than $4,000 to estab-
lish a new morning paper in New Or
leans. but those who are behind the en-
terprise have plenty Of money. and are
willing 10 pay to have their political
views circulated. Being converts to re-
publicanism. they are. like converts gen
orally, very much In earnest.
The Democratic party will. of course,
remain the great party Of the south
But it is within the bounds Of probability
that before the end Of this century the
Republican party will have become a
highly respectable and influential party in
the south.

One Way.

The teacher of an intermediate grade

The spelling class was on the floor. and
one small shock-headed boy was given

twisted his lips, stared. and then, in a
faltering way, spelled IL correctly and
seemed rather surprised that he had done
it.

the teacher.

Extra session TaII1.

The republican newspapers are still try
ing to create the impression that there
will be an extra session OF congress. They
say that if the supreme court should de-
clare the income tax law unconstitu-
tional there would be such a loss of ex-
pected revenue that congress would have
to be convened to provide additional reve-
nue. to meet the governments obligations.
About s25 1000 is expected from the in
come tax. That amount would help the
government greatly in tiding over its inan-
cial difficulties.
The treasury officials, however, con-
tend that the revenue would be sufficient
to meet the governments obligations,
even if the income tax law should be de-
clared unconstitutional While it is true
that the deficiency this month is about
100000 so far, the imports are in
creasing rapidly and the belief is ex-
pressed that they will be ample before
summer TO meet all demands upon the
government
The policy of the republicans seems to
be to create as much distrust in the
financial condition of the government as
possible with the view of bringing the
Democratic party into dsrepute. They
have never hesitated to try to make
party capital at the expense of the peo-
pie and they would risk bankrupting
the government II, by doing so, they saw
a prospect of strengthing their party.
The chance that there will be an extra
session of congress is so remote as to be
hardly worth considering. Neither the
republicans nor the democrats want one,
and one will not be called if it can be
avoided.
The treasury seems to be getting along
very well. There are no present indica-
lions of large exports of gold. The syn
dictate that took the last batch of bonds
appears to be controlling the gold move
ment, as its contract requires it to do
As long as the gold reserve remains at a
point that sustains public confidence in
the ability Of the government to pay gold
on demand the President will not think
of calling congress together.

A Pointer for the Industrial Com
mftree.

mfttee.
A few days ago the Morning News
published a communication from gen
tleman in this city in which he advo-
Gated the building Of a veneer and basket
factory here We do not know whether
or not the communication received any
attention from the committee that is con-
sidering the ways and means for securing
the establishment Of factories in this
city. but II IL did not it should have done
so, because a veneer factory. conducted
upon a large scale. would afford employ
ment for large number OF people. The
raw material needed for such a factory
is close al hand. in unlimited quanti-
ties. and the demand for the products
Of a factory Of that kind. at profitable
prices. is very great.
At Charleston there IS a veneer and
basket factory that is doing an immense
business. It has a capital Of $4,000. and
covers 5000 square feet 1t manufac-
lures $50 kinds Of baskets and almost as
may kinds OF boxes. ana other wooden
articles varying from a butter dish 70
a potato barrel The president OF this
manufacturing company is Mr.. Eber Blod-
gett of the firm of Blodgett. Moore &
Co. Of this city, and the superintendent
is Mr.. George T. Benjamin. who has
had thirty years experience in the bust
ness.
That the business is profitable is shown
by the fact that last year it paid . per
cent. on the capital invested in it, and
this year ii is expected to pay 30 per cent.
The benefit the factory is to Charleston
is apparent when it is known that the
weekly pay roll amounts to 5000 A
good-sized cotton factory would not
pay out more money than that for labor
The products of the Charleston factory
find wide market. The demand from
New York city for certain kinds of the
articles it manufactures is much greater
than it can supply. 1t finds a big market
in this city. one Savannah firm having
contracted for 20 carloads of boxes for
this year. Indeed, all over this state.
South Carolina and Florida it receives
orders. Its business has grown to such
an extent that its capacity is not equal
to the demands upon it.
Why not establish a similar factory
here at once? It would pay handsomely
There is no doubt about that The de-
mand in South Georgia and Florida for
baskets for fruits, vegetables and berries
is now very great, and II is going to be
much greater. Within the last few days
the Morning News has published dis
patches from Triton and vicinity show
ing remarkable development in the
wiregrass section. 1t will only be a year
or two before vast quantities of fruits
Will be shipped from that section. And
this county. and the Fort Valley sec
ton, where there are great peach orch
ards. are even now customers for berry
and peach baskets.
This matter should be looked into by
the Industrial committee at once. What
a boon it would be to the idle labor in
this city to have factory that would
distribute in wages $1,000 a week The
capital is here for such factory, and
1t can be obtained with very little trouble.
The chance for the industrial committee
to show what it can do is at hand.

Opinion with regard to the Alliance in
cident seems to be pretty much all one
way; and it is based on one side of the
story only. There must be another and a
reasonable side to 1t, however The Span
ish government does not place Iunatics in
command of its war ships, and the Span
ish government is not such an aggregation
of lunatics as to court war with this coun-
try, especially at this juncture. 1t is an
open question whether the Alliance was
within Cuban waters when she was fired
upon. Capt. Crossman says he was two
leagues away. He may have been that
far from the mainland but there are
islands off the mainland which are also
Cuban territory, and the Alliance may
have been within a league of one or more
of those islands. The Alliance ran away
when she found the Spaniard was coming
toward her. That must have appeared
to the SpaSiard very suspicious circum-
stance. The Spaniard probably thought,
and reasonably, too, that if the American
was. conscious of his own rectitude he
would not have been so extremely skittish.
Nevertheless, public opinion upholds the
Secretary of State in demanding of the
Spanish government a prompt explana-
ton of the matter.

Some months ago Nikola Tesla, the
famous electrician, delivered a lecture,
during which he charged himself with
electricity until sparks were emitted from
his fingers. A metropolitan newspaper
illustrated the lecture with picture show
ing the young man with flashes Of cleo
trio flames darling from every portion of
his body. night or two ago Teslas
laboratory was destroyed by fire The
next morning the enterprising journal re-
produced the same picture under the
heading, 'Nikola Tesla Burned Out" The
suggestion is shocking.

There appears to be the possibility of
a revival of the code duello in the cold
north, with Mr.. T. f. Gilroy. Jr., son Of
the ex-mayor of New York, as one Of
the principals. The other prospective
principal is a Massachusetts young man
with the brave name Of Walter Scott
Hale, who is young Gilroys brother-in-
law. Gilroy is the aggressor, having sent
a challenge, which has been accepted. The
quarrel occurred from personal charges
and counter-charges, resulting from
young Hale's endeavor to have his mother
removed as his guardian.

New York escaped the whipping post
bin by the skin of the teeth. The Senate
last week passed the bill unanimously,
and the House came within six votes of
passing it. The vote in the latter body
was IS TO 50. In speaking against the bill,
just previous to the vote, Representative
Robbins refuted the claim that in the
states of Delaware and Maryland, where
alone in this country the whipping post is
maintained. crimes against the person
had been sensibly decreased through cor
poral punishment. He quoted statistics to
show that between 1880 and 1890 the in
crease in population in Delaware was 14s
per cent, while during the same period
the increase in crimes against the person
was 42.s per cent In Maryland the in
crease in population was ia per cent,
and in those peculiar crimes 1872 per cent
II hogging decreased crime, the fact
should have appeared in the official
records Of Delaware and Maryland.

1t is, indeed, pretty tough on the SOL
der boys that the state should do little
or nothing for their organizations. vet
at the same time demand their services
at all times upon call. and insist upon rul-
ing them with rod of iron. Neverthe-
less, it can be seen that it would not do
to permit armed bodies except under Ie-
gal authority. The Gate City Guards Of
Atlanta wish to become an independent
organization. and bear arms in public.
