REPORTS OF returning prosperity are
coming in from all parts CT the country,
and in no section are the prospects
brighter than in the South. The long
continued business depression along
with the cold winters and dry summers
have burst the bubble OF Northwestern
advantages, and thousands OF people
there and elsewhere are looking long
ingly in the direction of the South,
where the climate is genial and the soil
fertile. With proper exertion on the
part of her people this section will soon
be the center of an extensive immigrs-
ton of energetic and thrifty settlers,
and they would be false to their best
interests II they neglected the oppor-
tunity afforded them.

BENEFITS OF THE CHINA JAPAN
TREATY.

The peace agreement just Elected by
Japan with China will, IL Is said, afford
large opportunities for the introduction
Of American machinery and the invest
ment of American capital in the Celes,
tiel Empire. A provision of the treaty
is that China shall be open TO the intro.
duction of all forms of modern ma
chinery and that they shall be adj
mitted free Of duty.
BY this new opening American cot
ton machinery should be especially
benefited; also telephones, electric
lights, printing presses and many other
inventions Of civilization which have
heretofore been kept out OF Chine. The
emperor OF that country has hitherto
prohibited the Introduction of modern
machinery and as result, the Chinese
are using wooden plows, similar to those
used centuries ago.
Modern tools are included under the
head OF machinery and mechanical de-
vices, so that the American pillow and
all other i'm plements and tools will en-
ter China free OF duty. 1t is stated that
cotton machinery will be brought ct
once into extensive use, thus enlarging
the demand for the raw cotton of the
Southern States.
The Chinese use 30 much cotton that
the emperor granted q monopoly OF the
use Of cotton machinery to the viceroy
OF the southern provinces Of China. He
has since produced large quantities of
cotton goods, and has prevented the
British and Americans at Shanghai and
elsewhere from using similar machin-
cry. The viceroy's monopoly has been
brought to an end, however, by the
Japan treaty. and it is expected that
American machinery Will be freely IN.
troduced throughout the empire.

A Mean Trick

1t was mean trick that Fogg played
on the barber. He went In for o shave
and he asked the tonsorinl artist if he
thought he could give him hair cut and
a shampoo next day, and if he honed ra-
zors and if he had any head washes and
hair oils that he could recommend. The
barber was delighted, and Fogg says he
never had a better shave in his life OF
course he can't play that at the same shop
again, but there arc plenty of other bar
bcrs in town, and Fogg thinks he can
bamboozlc them all in the same way. y
great head has Fogg, but wait till one of
his victims gets hold of it.-Boston Tran
script.

THE ia panese are no doubt much
elsted over their successes in the war
with China, but the Miksdo's confidence
in the invincibility OF his soldiers was
not great enough to induce him to try
conclusions with Russia, France and
Germany. When be was satisfied that
Russia, especially, was thoroughly in
earnest in the protest against the ap
preparation of Chinese territory on the
m mainland, the emperor Of Japan wisely
consented to follow the advice OF the
powers and renounce the permanent
possession Of the Lao Tung peninsula
and accept in lieu thereof money in
demnity Of 10000. 600 taels. The powers
have agreed to accept this compromise,
the treaty OF peace between China and
Japan has been ratified by both coun-
tries and peace is now apparently as
sured. With the advent of peace great
opportunities for trade with China will
no doubt be afforded foreign nations
and the United States and England will
no doubt make the most OF them.

CHANGES IN TIE JUDICIARY SYSTEM.

The recent article by Mr.. Walter Il.
Saunders, OF the Roanoke bar, on the
judiciary system of Virginia, has re-.
ceived favorable notice from the Rich
mond Dispatch, DAnville' Register and
Lynchburg Advance. 1t is we'll written
and shows careful study and extended
information on the courts of the State
and the cost Of running them. A pre-
vious communication on the same sub.
ject by the same gentleman. was also
fsvorably commented on by the State
press, and in his last article he deals
exhaustiyely with the questions in.
volved. He recommends enlarging the
civil jurisdiction Of the Justices courts
under certain restrictions and con,
tinuing their powers in criminal cases.
For the present county, circuit, corpor.
alton and chancery courts and courts OF
law and equity, he proposes State dis
trict courts with concurrent jurisdio-
ton, except in aome minor matters.
He would have the district judges
elected by the people and rotate over
the entire State which method OF selec-
ton prevailed In Virginia under the
constitution OF 1851. He recommends
the abolition OF the distinction between
actions at law and suits in equity, Civ
ing the district judge the power to FIX
the punishment Also that the COM
monwealth shall have the right OF
appeal on questions of law in criminal
cases. He gives some interesting fscts
In reference to the work OF our present
courts and shows the feasibility Of q
substitute. For the court of appeals he
recon mends a similar court. elected by
the people. with more frequent ter ms,
all held at Richmond, and with en-
larged jurisdiction In brief he recon-
mends only Justices courts, district
courts and a court OF appeals, which
at any rate has the merit Of simplicity
and economy. For commemorative
attorneys he proposes district attorneys
with stated salaries, and he pays his
respects in strong language to the fee
system. These are some OF the salient

1t Will be Difficult to Get the Case Before
the Supreme Court.
WASHINGTON, May 1O.-Mr. Doug
las, of the legal firm of O'Bear &
Douglas, Of this city, who are counsel
for the Republicans OF South Carolina
in the proceedings before Judge Golf
against the registration laws Of that
State, today expressed the opinion that
it would be very difficult to get the case
into the United States Supreme Court
He added that he would do nothing to
facilitate its transfer, but on the con-
trary would obstruct it as far as he
could.
MIR. Douglas said that before the
hearing before Judge Golf. and when
no one knew what the decision would
be, he had volunteered to enter into
an agreement to take the case to the
Supreme Court Immediately after Judge
Goff's decision should be rendered, but
his proposition by the opposing counsel
was declined. Consequently now that
the decision has been in the line of his
contention, he did not feel disposed 10
assist In securing the appeal.
1t Ia not probable that II any appeal
should be granted 1t could be heard by
the Supreme Court In time to be of avail
in the approaching elections In South
Carolina for delegates to the State con-
stitutional convention which will be
held in August Two applications have
already been refused to allow the pre-
sentation of other than the income tax
cases since the call of docket closed
Mr.. Douglas thinks the constitutional
convention elected will necessarily be
an open one without any registration.
