The South Not Solid.

The South was not always "solid"-
not always Democratic. 1t was bro
ken on the tariff question, and will be
again. Time was when the South re.
fused to regard "tariff for revenue
only" as its political Koran. A great
upheaval, reaching beyond the silver
agitation, is going on among people
who have passed through a fiery fur
mace that seems to hava been required
to make them even wiser. better and
greater than they were before the
war. Thirty years have sufficed to re-.
move all old preiudices. Reconstruc
tion is thing of the past. The fear
of NEGRO domination" which astute
aspirants for Office SO long held up as
tho "bogie" man to frighten and con.
solidate the people, has departed. and
upon the apex OF all this gone and
forgotten political lore we find agri
cultural ard mineral development,
and commercial impetus which will,
ere long, astonish the North and the
whole world with it's effects and re.
suits.
W HcA tAC icouo VI oihNcIy CuLuo w
dominate parties all else of politics
and economics in the South departed.
and for ut least ten years before the
war, and ever since, those things
which have grown out of it have made
the South 'solid." There is break.
ing up in North Carolina, in South
Carolina, in Louisiana, in Alabama,
in Kentucky, in Tennessee, and the
whole South is on the brink of po
litical volcano. This is not inexpli'
cable. The South desires to advan
tage itself of progress, to share in the
Nations development, and it ..canno'
hope to do that under the policy of .
:stariff for revenue only" That pol
icy has struck at sugar and rice, coal
aud iron, and these products, agricul
tural and mineral, are SO powerful
that their ramiications extend
throughout almost every State and
into banking and business circles.
Protection is policy too broad to be
limited by sectional lines, and its ad-
vocates are too liberal, just and gen.
erous to withhold its benefcent ef-
fects from any part of the country
;.esirous of embracing the advantages
of that policy.

They Know 1t Now.

When the Republican party gets
control again, as it will next year,
with some Republican for President
such as Reed or Mckinley or some
other man, we will take up that tariff
yet and go over it item by item and
make such amendments to it as will
give reasonable protection to American
labor and American industries as
against foreign labor and foreign in
dustries. The people of this country
never knew they wanted that sort OF
protection-they were never certain OF
it-until the Democrats, by mistake,
got possession of this country two
years ago.-Senator Cullom.

The New York Sun says: At last it
is beginning to be realized that the
case of the English grain raisers is
permanently hopeless. The fact was
practically admitted at the confer
ence on the question of National
bread supply held this week. The
comforting notion had been clung to
for several years past that there is
such thing as limit to the depres-
sion, and when that has been reached
matters will necessarily begin to mend.
Last year it was thought that British
corn had reached such point, and
that as the Trainer could not pos
eibly do worse he was bound to do
better. This cheerful calculation has
been upset. In the coming season
England will import larger proper
ton of meat and -four even than last
wear. AS matters stand wheat can
only be grown at considerable loss,
and though the large farmers may
continue to produce it at loss for the
sake OF collateral advantages, the small
ones cannot afford to do SO, aud moro
arabic land is bound to go out of cul.

Mysterious Thirteen Trees.

Over century ago. on the upper
West Side, in New York City, at a
spot known as Fort George, but now

ton, whose breath was stopped by
Aaron Burr's bullet, planted thirteen
trees within radius of thirteen
square feet. Now they are sturdy
oaks. and splendid object lesson in

knoll Of an obscure hill, this bunch
of timber attracts the attention of all
who pass that way, whether they
know its history or not. Like Ham
ilton was, these trees are now-name-
ly, eccentric. One may face them
from any angle, or range of vision.
and count them, but by some hocus
rocus Que is sure to miscalculate their
number, invariably falling short at
least one tree, round dozen alone
being visible.
In order to accurately count the
trees in this big trunked maze one
must scale the dilapidated fence sur.
rounding the oaks and count them
one by one, marking them in order
to avoid second error. You will
then find that the unlucky number is
there. Harlemites who are acquaint-
ed with The mystery frequently lay
wagers with the uninitiated. After
rousing strangers curiosity. they
eagerly bet him liquid refreshments
or money that he cannot count the
Hamilton oaks correctly. They al
ways win. of course. Then they take
pride in telling the loser how to play
the game on others and get even. The
thirteen trees were planted by Alex
ander Hamilton to commemorate the
original thirteen States. .-Pittsburg

GOLD AND COAL IN ALASKA.

Result of the Exam nation of the Fields by
Government Biologists.
DE- George F. Becker, geologist in charge
If division of the United States Geological
Survey, has returned from Alaska, where he
has BEEN making Il survey OF the gold and
coal fields along the shore line. He WAS ac-
eompanied By DR.. William II. Dahl, who
went to make a special report on the coal
fields This is the first work that has ever
been done by the Geological Survey in
Alaska.
DIR Becker says there Is no doubt that
Alaska is going to be an active mining re-
gion, but he does not believe it will rival tho
California mining belt. The veins arenot so
large AMI well developed as they are in that
State. There has been quite an excitement
this summer among the placers at the head
of Cooks Inlet. but the amount OF success
thus far achieved hardly warrants the
amount of interest exhibited. The profitable
washings thus far are confined to few
miles on Bear Creek which empties into
Turnayan Atm.
As to the coal deposits the only coal found
that seems likely to be of commercial value
was at Cooks Inlet. 1t takes about twenty
tons to do the work OF one ton OF Vancouver
Island coal. Coal could be economically
mined II the work was done on a large scale
and with as much system rs the coal mines
Of Western Pennsylvania are worked.
