THE SPIRIT OF THE SOUTH.

The South's gigantic timber and iron
interests are at last being generally re-
cognized by the rival states Of the North.
The South's iron ore deposits have been
revelation indeed to northerners who
naturally looked upon Pennsylvania as
the iron state OF the Union. tits certain
she Is not entitled to that distinction now
A Northern exchange recognizing this,
and admir:ng the spirit Of the South in
developing their resources says:
The young men Of the South were pos
sessed of ability, courage and industry In
the hour Of their need. Today, the cities
OF the South show their vim, their cour-
age and their perseverance. Rising from
their desolated and destroyed fields, they
have entered into the race for human en-
terprise and existence, with spirit that
does credit to the highest type Of human
kind. They have, like the inhabitants OF
the fire-stricken city Of Chicago. wrought
beauty out Of desolation, wealth out OF
apparent ruin. The secret OF their sue
cess was that inbread sense OF honor and
courage, together with that high devel-
ment Of manhood which came from for
mer years of luxury and refinement, and
which made itself manifest in the hours
OF trial and adversely, and which. like
spark OF genius, shines best when hardest
pressed. Another reason for their sue
cess when compelled to grapple with LIES
problems. was the fertile fields Of the
South, capable of producing cotton, sugar
cane, tobacco and corn; their vast miner
al resources Of coal and iron; their noun
tains of granite and stone; their noun
tains and valleys of fine timber.
When we reflect that the timber inter-
est OF America amounted In 1897 to over
one billion of dollars some idea may be
conceived of the immensely of the timber
trade. The South is today contributing
more largely than almost any other Sec
ton of our country.-Pensacola News.

Six car loads Of bicycles have been re-
ceived recently in New York for shipment
to Europe. American wheels are said to
sell better in Europe than the European
wheels, and at prices which the foreign
makers can hardly meet. A locomotive
building company in Philadelphia has
just booked orders for som thirty locomo-
tives, to be shipped to South America,
Europe and Asia. Orders for the engines
were secured in competition with Euro
pean builders. The ioners' union OF
Glasgow, Scotland, the other day declar-
ed boycott against doors and other arti-
Giles OF American manufacture. 1t would
not be surprising II other European trade
unions should follow suit. 1t will be seen
that American manufactures are gaining
in favor in foreign countries, and the
working people Of Europe must protect
themselves against the ''pauper labor" OF
the United States, of course.-Sav. News.

1t may be well-itis well for boys ana
girls of proper character to associate to-
gether. but the association should be in
the open freedom of their parents homes.
Far too many youngsters OF school age
are thoughtlessly allowed to parade pub
lie thoroughfares at night to make &C.
quaintances which cannot result to the
advantage Of anyone. The private letter
box has served as means to continue
such associations, causing end OF youth
full errors not easily remedied, and often
destroying the future happiness of the
ssmi-irresponsible participants. There
fore IT would be very apropos for parents
to com bine their influence with the gov
ernment's action in behalf of the morals
OF the rising generatlon.-Sentinel.

CURRENCY LEGISLATION.

The republican party pledged itself at
its last national convention to do all IT
could to bring about International bimet-
allism. 1t has kept that pledge. The re-
port OF the commission which was sent to
Europe to see what European countries
were willing to do In behalf of bimetallism
has not been made public, but 1t Is well
known what the substance Of the report
is. The commission accomplished moth
ing. Europe does not want bimetallism,
because double monetary standard Is
regarded by European fnanciers as i'm
practicable.
1t is assumed that the republican party
will make no further effort in behalf Of
International bimetallism, and 1t is GER
tain that it is against the free coinage Of
silver by this country alone. The ques-
ton which now presents itself Is this:
VIII the republican party undertake to
reform the currency so that there will be
little or no danger of money pancs re-
sulting from such conditions as brought
about the panic of 1893?
On this question the party is divided.
One part of 1t favors an attempt to re-
form the currency at once. The Secreta-
ry of the Treasury has already made pub
lie plan for that purpose, and the mon
, etary commission will 1t is expected, have
plan ready to report to congress soon af-
ter that body meets. The plan of the
Secretary OF the Treasury has been COM
mented on quite favorably, and 1t may be
made the basis of currency reform bill
! Another plan that has attracted good
deal of attention is that Of John c. Built
of Philadelphia. There will be many cur.
rency reform plans before congress be-
cause there Is no lack of men who think
! they have the financial ability TO settle
satisfactorily the currency question.
The other part Of the republican part.
favors letting the currency alone, holding
that the party will stand a much bette
chance OF electing the next congress an'
The Chipley banner. (Chipley, Washington County, Fla.) 1893-1943, 1897-11-20

the next President II 1t does not attempt
to change existing currency conditions.
This difference among the republicans
as to the policy that ought to be pursued
in respect to the currency will result, in
all probability, in nothing being done.
But II nothing is done the republican par
ty will be open to the charge OF refusing
to fulfill its promises. 1t promised to
change the tariff and to put the currency
on safe basis. 1t has kept its promise
in respect to the tariff. 1t remains to be
seen whether 1t will keep its promise in
respect to the urrency.-Savannah News

THE POOLING BILL.

The Interstate Commerce commission
has recommended several times that the
act under which the commission was Gre
ated be so amended as to allow railroads
to enter into pooling agreements subject
to the approval Of the commission. A bill
to carry out this recommendation was be-
fore the last congress, but was defeated.
At the first session of the present con-
gress Senator Foraker introduced sim
liar bill and the information comes from
Washington that the Interstate Com
merce committee will report 1t favorably
soon after congress assemblies.
The bill makes it the duty of the roads
to submit proposed agreement to the
commission and the latter is to approve
that agreement, unless at shall be OF
opinion that the operation Of any such
contract would, by reason OF its provis-
ions or for want of necessary restrictions
and limitations, result in unreasonable
rates or unjust discrimination"
The committee will recommend an
amendment which makes 1t the duty OF
the commission to investigate all specific
complaints and authorizes 1t, when II
finds that rates charged "are In any re-
spect excessive or unreasonable, or result
in any unjust discrimination" to issue
an order requiring those rates to be
changed, $50 as to make the same reason
able and just
In case any railroad fails or refuses To
obey such order the commission will be
empowered to enter suit to enforce it.
The advocates Of the proposed change
in the law believe that all danger OF
abuses from pooling agreements will be
prevented by the proposed amendment
as it gives the commission practically the
power to fix and control rates. While the
commission would not have the power tC
make rates, 1t could order reduction Of
rates so that they would be reasonable
and just" and may reject all rates that
are made by the railroads until they are
so fixed that the commission is satisfied
with them.
! In the opinion of the commissioners the
law would be made much more effective
and its benefits to the public would bt
greatly enlarged by the passage Of the
pooling bill with the amendment propos'

Another long Florida summer has come
and gone; already the short Florida win
ter, with its clear crisp days and chilly
nights, makes its breath felt in the air.
Every season is beautiful in Florida, with
the everlasting wealth Of sunshine, the
clear pure air, fragrant from the health
giving pines, the green trees and flowers
the singing birds, so much that is lost in
the North even so early as November.
Who would rather live In the North, who
has ever lived In FLORIDA? Some few fool

the line to Sancti Spiritus. Several cars
were demolished, but only two persons
were injured.
The insurgents attempted to enter the
town of San Juna Yeras, Province OF
Santa Clara. They succeeded in reaching
the outskirts, but according to the officia
account, the garrison repulsed them, kill
ing eight, whose bodies were left in the
streets. Several Of the inhabitants were
wounded.

The free gold in the treasury increased
during October nearly six millions of dol
lars, but the deficit In the revenue was
nearly ten millions. The worst of it Is,
that the receipts were two millions less
than those of last year, and this, too, in
spite Of an increase in the Internal Reve-
nue. Of $780, 900. A contemporary we'll re-
marked some time ago that the new rev.
enue law was intended to increase reve-
nues, but not those of the government.

There are many things that we poor

heartened at times because of our igno-

more than any one of the mysteries of our

who apparently do nothing, and yet are
always dressed well and look sleek and
fat. In every community there are num-
bers Of such men. Their names are I'M

his opinion in the following few words:
Mr.. Mckinley is at present pursuing Mr..

the United States has ample cause to in
terfere with the Cuban struggle, and I am
in favor of such action, but do not think
we want Cuba annexed. A people reared
with views so different to ours may not
readily assimilate with our people, and
they do not ask for annexation.-Sentinel

A peculiar, yet highly commendable or
der has been sent out by the General Post
master at Washington which forbids the
use Of private letter boxes In any of I'm
BILE Sans Offices, by minors. 1t has been
properly decided that the practice, GER
tainly having no business or Legitimate
social object must necessarily create and
foster an immoral influence.
The government does not wish to be a
party to the secret, and therefore impru-
dent correspondence of the callow youths

America, that can be carried on with the
safety Of a private letter box. Several
cases OF harmful fiirtations have been re-
ported as results Of this liberty, which
never should have been allowed in q sin

and silly girls. There is too much OF this
