right at breakfast time and went
fishing about nine o'clock. Moth

Gray Gables, and the family

The President has concluded

Want to Unload on America.

A dispatch from Chicago says
that J. E. Webner, a promoter
of South African mining stocks,
is in this country trying to float
"Kaffier" there and in New York,
Mr. Webner is quoted as say
ing:
Anything which the United
States hasn't it is very apt not
to believe in. Hence the South
African American Investment &
Mining Co.. has moved very
slowly and cautiously. There is
so much fraud in certain of these
African operations that sound
company has of necessity to
work on the most conservative
lines. The lower stocks are 60
ing to pieces, but the higher
stock is bound to go still higher,
as the output of gold is increas-
ing rapidly. The South African
magnates have for months been
contemplating the floating of
''Katfirs" in this country. WiGhin
three months, it is safe to say,
they will be ficated in Chicago.
AS the English have been un-
loading at an enormous rate on
the French peasants, the wild
craze in France for Afri-
can gold stocks almost equal
ling that Of Great Britain, they
probably now looking for new
lambs to fleece. and so they want
to come to the United States
with their inflated schemes. The
world has rarely seen wilder
stock gambling speculation than
Europe has been induIging in
lately in African gold stocks,
and sooner or later there must
come the inevitable crash. The
Argentine speculation. which re-
suited in floating over 81 900, 900,
OF Argentine securities in Eu-
rope, and the collapse of which
carried down the Barlngs, was a |
tame affair compared with the
A frlcan bubble. May the United
States be saved from any touch
Of this craze.

Darkening Counsel.

If figures do not lie, they are
capable at least of obscuring the
truth. Such jugglery of figures
as may just now be observed in
reference TO the wool trade is
enough to make the most confid-
ing reader skeptical of the sci
ence of statistics. Each side ap.
parently selects the figures that
best serve its purpose and ar
ranges them to suit itself. There
is the widest discrepancy in the
figures employed and they are
made to support the most widely
cOntrasted conclusions.
There is no branch of indus
trial statistics more compli-
Gated than that relating to the
wool trade. It demands expert
knowledge. and it is especially
regretable that men who ought
to be the best qualified, by tneir
familiarity with the trade TO col :
lect and arrange theese statistics
intelligently, are very generally
disqualified by a pre- existing
bias. Instead of presenting the
figures daily, and then drawing
attention to their logical indica
tions, they start with a general
assertion and twist the figures
to make them appear to sustain
it. This obvious special plead
ing makes impossible any conf
dence even in the accuracy of the
figures themselves.
The truth is that no general
deductions of any kind can be
safely drawn from the wool stat
istics of the past two years. The
year of 1893-94 was one of extra
ordinary commercial depression.
Trade of all kinds was within
the narroWest limits; the woolen
industries were awaiting the
operation of more favorable
tariff, and irnportations generally
were checked. The year 1894
9o saw the revival OF business
along with the establishment. o1
a new tariff system. The mar
kets being empty. the importa
tions of manufactured goods were
large, and the removal of the
duty from wool enabled oul

Typhoid Fever.

Washington, Oct. II The
health officer Of Washington says
that the epidemic of typhoid fe-
yer exists in this city, and that
unless sanitary precautions are
observed by the Inhabitants gen
orally. a serious condition of
affairs may shortly be expected.
Health Officer Woodland esti-
mates that at least 600 cases are
under treatment in the District
to day. In the first four days
Of this week eleven deaths from
typhoid fever were reported, and
he has no doubt that some deaths
reported, as due to kindred com
plants. really resulted from ty.
phoid. For the week ended Sept.
21th, there were twenty one
deaths.
New York, with seven times
the population of Washington,
reported only seventeen typhoid
deaths for the same period, and
most of cities Of the size of Wash
iagton reported not more than
two or three deaths. if any a all.
The epidemic is attributed to the
low Stage Of TIE water in the Po
tomac river, which constitutes
the city's supply, and the use of
we'll water in families. The disease
IS as generally distributed in the
best sections of the city as in the
poorer quarters.

One Source OF Southern Power.

One Source OF Southern Power.
Commenting on the fact tha,
the South is the most purely
American part of our country,
| the Jacksonville Times Union
says:
1.-The South is purely American.
The people Of this section are
the decendents OF the men who
made American independence an
accomplished fact. Out of the
entire population Of the seeding
States there are only 100000
persons of foreign birth, and
nearly half of them live in Texas
"a State that has been settled
almosl entirely since the war.
Without Texas only II per cent.
of the people living III these
States were horn out Of this
country. Including Texas, the
population would be 90 per cent.
Of native parentage, against only
two per cent. foreign, while over
20 per cent of the population of
The North is foreign"
1t is natural that the Southern
people should be the most con
servative of the Union. The South
respects the Sabbath. It is slow to
change, but in spite of it's con-
servatisn, just now it is leading
the entire Union in development.
This fact, which has often
been stated in the Manufacturers
Record, is worthy of much
thought. While all heartily well
come to this country the law
abiding, hard working foreign
ers, who have done much for it's
development; it is a lamentable
fact that some parts of the West
and North have been so overran
with the anarchist element as to
be undesirable as places of resi-
dence for Americans. This is
one of the causes now in opera
ton to draw to the South thou
sands of native Americans.
The South extends a cordial inyi-
tation to the better classes of for
eiguers, but the predominating
population of this whole section
will ever continue Anglo>Saxon,
and all the power and strength
of the Anglo Saxon race will find
in the South it's broadest and
grandest field of development.
This phase of the South's posts
ton in the business world, the
influence of the Anglo Saxon
character back of all of it's growth
and advancement, is attracting
the thoughtful attention OF
the ablest students of the
day. Watever there is of
strength, of force, of conquering
power. Of ability to organize and
control in the Anglo.Saxon race
is going to reach the highest
fulfillment in the Southern
States. for nowhere else will the
Anglo-Saxon element have such
a preponderating influence. The
man who wants to measure the
South's future must remember
this fact, and then couple with it
that no equal area on earth has
such marvellous combination
of natural resources and advan-
tages for the creation of wealth
and the support of a dense popu-
latiOh.
