the New England papers are at last
freely admitting all that has ever been
claimed SO far as coarse goods are con-
cerned. Their statements fully bear
out all the claims that have been pre-.
sented in behalf Of the South's ad-
vantages for manufacturing the coarser
goods. Pushing the development Of
this branch as rapidly in this direction,
which added to what the South itself
is doing, will soon turn its attention TO
the higher grades with equal success.
The general Southwark movement Of
cotton mill investment has already
started. Indications all point to
great activity in this direction which,
added to what the South itself is doing
will create a period OF remarkable
cotton mill building. As iron max
ing has gone to the source of the raw
material, as woodworking has sought
the lumber-producing region, SO must
cotton manufacturing inevitably center
in the country where nature furnishes
the staple and then gives every needed
condition for spinning and weaving it
to the best advantage.

One Thing They Haven't Taught Us.
ICharlOtte Observer. !

"The Yankee farmers of North
Carolina, immigrants of recent date"
says the Providence, R. l., Journal,
"have already shown the slow-going
Southerners that pineapples can be
raised there and, it is said, declare
that any fruit which can be grown in
California may be produced just as
readily on the Atlantic coast. 1t is
new blood and new products which
the South needs above everything else" !"
Upon which the Charleston Nezvs and
Courier remarks: "The Yankee
immigrants of recent date are evil
dently those who have recently settled
in the interior of the State and gone
into the fruit growing business. Their
settlement, we believe, is not quite
two years old, and as the pineapple
does not bear fruit until the second
year, the pineapples which the imrai-
grants have raised are probably the
plants, not the fruit" Hear the
conclusion of the whole matter: No
pineapples have been or are being
raised in North Carolina. The story
that lot exhibited in Raleigh were
grown in Chatham county was given
bv the dealer to a credulous reporter
who set it going and it has been going
ever since. So that, for whatever else
the slow going Southerners may be
indebted to the Yankee farmers, those
of North Carolina do not owe them
anything yet on account of having
taught them how to raise pineapples.

A Cheerful Heart.

l once heard young lady say to
another: "Your countenance to me
is like the shining of the sun, for it
always gladdens me with cheerful
look" A merry or cheerful coun-
tenance was one OF the things which
Jeremy Taylor said his enemies and
prosecutors could not take away from
him. There are some who spend their
lives as il shut up in a dungeon.
Everything is dark, gloomy and for
bidding. They mourn from day to
day that they have so little, and are
in constant fear lest what little they
have should escape out OF their hands.
They look always upon the dark side,
and can never enjoy the good OF the
present, for fear of the evil that IS
come This is not piety. True re-
ligion makes the heart glad, and when
its noble principles are felt and exer-
cised, men will be happy in spite ol
themselves.
The industrious bee does not stop
to complain that there are SO many
poisonous flowers and thorny bEanche:
in his road, but buzzes on, gathering
the honey where he can find it, and
passing quietly by the places where
| it is not. There is enough in thi:
world to complain about and hno
fault with, if We have the disposition
, We travel often in hard and uneven
road but, with a cheerful spirit and
heart to praise God for His meIcies
we may walk therein with great com
fort, and come to the end of our jour
ney in peace.

Be Careful What YOn Say.
IWarrentOn Record /

Never believe evil of any one until
you are certain that the evil exists.
We should never say anything about
another which is unpleasant, even in a
Joke for our words are often exaggera-
ted, and if they reach the ears of the
one of whom they are spoken, they
may do harm.
l think it a good plan to refrain
from saying anything about others,
unless we can speak in their favor. 1t
does no good to tell the faults and
shortcomings Of other people but, on
the contrary, it is too apt to make US
suspicious and fault-fnding. None Of
us are pertect-no, not one. If your
neighbor has faults which you have
not, you have others, perhaps, which
are quite as bad.
If we dwell upon the virtues instead
of the vices OF our associates, we shall
find that it is much pleasanter for US,
and certainly much better for them.
We are certainly conscious OF our own
defects in some respects, and they are
much discomfort to us but how much
worse we should feel if we knew tha.
everybody noticed them, and even
spoke of them to Others. Now, instead
of talking Of others faults,
IN tell you Of better plan,
And one that works quite we'll
To try our own defects to cure,
Ere we OF others tell.
And though we some times hope TO be
No worse than some We know,
Our own shortcomings bid us let

USE CHRISTIAN COMMON SENSE,
Read This and See if it Fits Your
Case.

Just as the leaves of so-called sensi-
tive plants shrivel and shrink away
from even the gentlest touch, so certain
people 60 through life in a state of
mind calculated to take offense at the
merest trifes.
1fan acquaintance fails to recognize
them on the street, they are sure that
an insult was intended. Il they are
not included in the invitations to some
social gathering, they are never willing
to acknowledge the possibility of a
mistake; they feel certain that the
slight was intentional. They meyer
hear a laugh without wondering if
they are the occasion of it.
If a remark is made concerning
them, capable of two interpretations,
they are sure to select that which is
least agreeable. In fact, they are
constantly on the lookout for injuries,
and having found one they hold it
fast, as if it were some treasure,
possessing value unknown to the
world at large.
A peculiar illustration of this morbid
state of feeling was given in a recent
issue of periodical generally noted
for the excellent advice it offers its
young readers. A girl whose name
had been overlooked in the invitations
to a reception, and on whom the
hostess called to apologize, wrote to
one of the editors, asking what course
she should follow. To our surprise
the following answer was given: 81
should not advise you to continue the
acquaintance.
"Women of good breeding do not
allow themselves to overlook those to
whom courtesy is due"
That is equivalent to saying that a
lady never allows herself to make a
mistake. A better answer to the above
inquiry would have been this: Ger
tainly accept your friends apology,
without even a mental reservation.
Only those who are themselves infallible
can refuse to overlook blunders.
The acquaintance who bowed so
smilingly on Monday and failed to
notice you on Tuesday may have a
very sufficient excuse. She may be
near-sighted and accordingly find it
difficult to recognize her friends in
certain lights. Or it may be that
under her composed demeanor she
carries heavy heart, at times so dis
tracted by anxiety that she hardly
knows what is going on about her.
All, if we knew the inner lives of those
who walk our streets we should find it
easy to forgive much that now we fail
to overlook!
A little Christian common sense is
the best remedy in the world for over
sensitiveness. People in general. we
may be sure, have no desire to be
disagreeable. If your own conscience
is clear you need not be on the watch
for incivilty. Remember, as one has
wisely said, that the world is an echo
which returns to each of US what we
ourselves say.

TRAVELLING IN COMFORT.

"Didn't you get breakfast in the

"Oh, yes" said the old man. "Oh,
yes but | didn't want to go it too
expensive, SO | told the fell I'd just
take cup of coffee an some buckwheat
cakes"
"Pretty light breakfast that's SO, -
said Henry.
"Yes," said the old man, "light
breakfast-two pancakes.
Well, come downstairs, and We'll
fix up something to eat right away.
You mustn't wait for dinner"
"Charged me a dollar" continued
the cid man. "Feller set next to me

"Well, father, man can ride pretty
comfortably nowadays after he gets
used to it, said Henry, as he started
to lead the old gentleman to the bath

"Oh, yes, oh, yes, man can ride
all right when he knows how" replied
the old man, and the smile lasted until
he started to wash his face from the
| faucets over the bath tub.

THE THUGS APPEAR.

IL was announced in the daily papers a
few days ago that number of desperate
Observation-Disclosures robbers, burglars, gar
rioters and the like-had been driven to
San Francisco by the cold weather of the
Eastern States. What is likely the first OF
their operations occurred Sunday night in
saloon at the corner of Pierce and Green
witch streets. Two robbers entered the
saloon and commanded the proprietor to
throw up his hands. Instead of comply
ing he fled, and then the robbers turned
on Alfred A. Neville, who was standing at
the end Of the counter reading news
paper, shot him to death and escaped in
the darkness. Evidently Neville was
killed in cold blood for fear he would be
able to identify the robbers. He was an
honest, sober, industrious carpenter, and
his murder leaves a widow and three
young children without means of support.
If the thugs recently arrived from Chi
cago were known to the police here it
strikes the ordinary citizen as strange
thing that the fiends were not at once
driven out of town. 1t might be argued
that this would merely shift them upon
other communities, but this community
has the right to protect itself, and other
communities are presumed to have the
ability to protect themselves. AS, how
ever, it is right to assume that the police
of San Francisco are better able to handle
such matters, it is clearly the duty of the
police to do all in human power to check
the evil at its source. An admirable plan
is to round up all the thieves, take and
publish accurate descriptions of them and
require them to report once week at po-
lice headquarters.
The people of this City should expect
and be fully prepared for all sorts of crimes
this winter. One of their most important
duties is to report to the police every sus-
picious person seen and every trivial
crime committed. Accuracy of descrip-
ton is exceedingly important This care
would simplify the work of the police.
Popular expectation of an incursion of
thieves has started peddlers of burglar
alarms" on their rounds. AS burglaries
are generally com mitted when al! the
members of the household are absent.
these toys are of little value, and he is a
poor worker at the craft who does not
know how to outwit these foolish devices.
A black and-tan dog is the best burglar
alarm ever invented.
The police courts can do their share by
inficting the fullest penalties on petty
thieves, and the higher courts can add to
the effectiveness of the campaign by pur-
suing a similar course in graver cases.

QUEER DISCRIMINATION.

The Southern Pacific Company, in order
to drive the Oregon Railway and Naviga-
ton Company out of the northern trade,
has put on "specisl train between San
Francisco and Portland. 1t runs only on
the days when the steamship companys
boats sail, and on those days and for this
train the rate to Portland was made SIS 80 Il,
including Pullman accommodations, while
on other days and for other trains the rate
renamed at $40. There is no reason for
this course except determination to
drive a competitor out of the field, and so
secure a monopoly of the traffic The
steamship company, alarmed by the atti-
tude of the Southern Pacific, sent its lead
ing officers from Portland to this City sfor
the purpose of trying to make an annie able
arrangement which would avert a rate
war, but they were not successful.
Apart from the question of public policy
involved in this matter, there is the legal
one. While the law creating the Railroad
Commission and defining it's duties does
not distinctly provide for such a con tin
gency as this, and while it may be true
that as the rate is for interstate traffic and
therefore does not come under the iurisdic-
ton of the California board, it is clear that
the Southern Pacific is practicing discrim-
ination, and we know that discrimination
is unlawful. The case would admit of no
question If the points of destination were
both within the State. In that event the
making of a special low rate for the pur-
poses of the rate charged for this train
would have to be extended to all other
trains, and once the rate was lowered it
could not be raised without the consent of
the board.
The situation seems to be new and to
call for special action. The Interstate
Commerce Commission clearly has iuris-
diction, and the presumption is that the
Oregon Railway and Navigation Company
will apply to it for remedy. But it
should not be depended on to do So Cali
fornia has more at stake in this matter
than any private corporation, and it be-
hooves the leading commercial bodies of
San Francisco to give it prompt and intel
igent attention.
The spirit of the interstate commerce
law is to prohibit what the Southern Pa
ciic is doing, although there is no express
prohibition to cover this case. 1t is nothing
to the point that the steamship company
may be financially able to carry on the
fight over rates indefinitely and that dur
ing the tendency of the struggle there is a
great temporary gain to the State. The
presumption is that the Southern Pacific
would not have gone into the fight without
excellent reason for believing that it could
