Southern Democratic Confidence.

Week before last the Times Union made
a comparison, for the preceding week Of
1897 and the corresponding week of 1896,
of the bank clearances of the eighty-seven
principal commercial cities of the country.
and this comparison showed that the vol
ume of bank clearances of the Southern
cities had increased 40 per cent, while
that Of the Northern cities had decreased
30 per cent Saturdays number of Dun's
Review published the bank clearances of
the fourteen leading commercial cities.
The bank clearances of the Southern
cities show decrease in volume of only
S54S, 40I, or less than l per cent, from
those of the prosperous year 1892. The
volume of bank clearances of the North
ern cities, however. shows loss of S252,
130S21, or more than % per cent This
is the record of only one week, and only
fourteen cities 1t is but straw, but
when all straws po;n. in one direction
they show positively how the wind is
blowing. Every indication shows well for
the South. If we may judge by bank
clearances, the Southern cities referred
to have practically recovered from the
panic.-Florida Times Union Oem.).

Inc SoHth Responds with Good Cheer
The Chronicles statements bear out
the facts presented to our readers yes
terday in an interview in our local de-
partment with Mr.. w. l.. Douglas, man.
ager Of Dun's agency in Macon. "The re.
turn of prosperity" he says, sis visible
on all sides. Wholesale dealers in nearly
all lines are all reporting an increase of
business over last year. All
houses dealing direct with the farmer will
tell you that collections were better Inst
fall than for long time prior to that.
Right here in Macon business appears
more substantial and in healthier condi-
ton than could seriously have been ex-
pected some months ago."
In view of the deliberate and determin-
ed efforts being made to discourage the
people; and worse, to involve the country
in war with more than one foreign now.
er, these reports, from the highest au-
thorities, are exceedingly hopeful and en-
cournging. = Macon (Ga) Telegraph

Great Activity in Railway Building

If the disposition of railroads TO extend
their mileage be an indication of re-
turn to prosperity, and if the statements
made by the Railway Age, the generally
accepted authority in regard to railroad
matters, be at all accurate, this desidera-
tum may already be distinctly discerned
on the country's horizon.
The Age, in recent issue, gives in tab
ulated form statistics of new mileage
either already in process of construction,
or expected to be constructed during the
year 1897. The grand total represented
In this table suggests a genuine boom in
railroad building all over the country.
The total thus given reaches the startling
figure of 1880 miles of new track as the
probable record for the present year

trade review, showing an activity in le-
climate business transactions during the
past month, little short of that during
April, 1892, the year Of the largest bust

Good Crop Prospects and Good Prices.

Good Crop Prospects and Good Prices.
The prospect is highly encouraging to
the Northwest. OF course, the crop is not
yet harvested, and will be subject to the
usual contingencies which sometimes blast
the hopes of the husbandman; but the
fact remains that a crop well started, with
favorable soil and climatic conditions, al
most invariably turns out well. The
Northwest this year faces the pleasing
probability of good crop and good prices;
for it is hardly possible that even phe-
nomenal yield of spring wheat in this
section can force prices down to the old
low plane. with available supplies so near
ly exhausted and the probability of a less
than average crop in the rest of the
world.-Minneapolis Tribune Rep).

such a man I felt we possessed in Mr.

He gave up the study of theology and

as chronic dyspeptic, with only short
