The South's Progress and Needs.
eBaltimore Americana

Baltimore American.)
Professor Mulhall, the British stats
tician, has contributed to the North
American Review an Interesting statis-
tical article on the Southern States.
According to his classification, the
South embraces the Virginias. the
Carolianas, Georgia, Florida, Alabama,
Mississippi. Louisiana, Texas, Arkansas
Kentucky, and Tennessee. It covers
an area OF $4,000 square miles. more
than one-fourth OF the Union. There
has been since 1850 an increase OF 100
per cent. in the population. The wo-
man has evidently better chance for
marriage in the South. where there Is
male surplus of per cent. than In
the Middle States. where the sexes aro
equal. and in New England, where
there is surplus of 8 per cent. of fe-
males.
A gratifying feature Of the report is
the progress 1t shows in the agricul-
tural and industrial conditions Of the
South. The improved area has more
than doubled since 1850, the total area
being 106, 700, 600 acres, or five and one
half acres per inhabitant,- against two
and one half acres in the Middle States.
Kentucky and Tennessee are the only
Southern States which raise enough
grain for home consumption, the 9th
ers depending upon the prairie States.
There is, however, a large meat sur
plus, Texas alone, which is the banner
State of the Union. producing 100000
tons.
The cotton crop covers an area, equal
to the combined extent of Holland.
Belgium, and Denmark. Kentucky
produces one half of the tobacco crop
of the United States. The total value
OF the crops is estimated by Mr.. Null
hall at 81, ,OO5, 900, 900, and he believes
that farming is more profitable in the
South than in the Middle States.
Mr.. Mulhall then discusses financial
and educational institutions, conclud-
ing that what the South now needs is
more schools, more railways, and more
banks.

It has been chronic habit OF the
press of this country which is opposed
to Mr.. Bryan, to attempt to make 1t
appear that he is man of small cali
bre and of no force as a logician. He
has Just returned from Canada, where
he made a number of speeches in favor
of bimetallism. The papers Of that
country, while dissenting from his ar
guments, declare that Mr.. Bryan is
great as an orator, able in argument,
and foeman that the ablest mono
metallist may we'll hold in dread.

1t Typifies the South

The display Of the Southern Ry. Co.
arranged for the Tennessee Centennial
Exposition by NJ. V. Richards, land and
industrial commissioner of the COM
pany, is one of the feathers which is
attracting much attention at Nashville
from visitors generally. 1t really typi-
fies the progress the South has made
and is making in manufacturing and
other directions, as well as the resour-
ces OF the many States traversed by
the Southern. The phographs OF
newly erected cotton mills, the display
of cotton goods from mills along it's
line, the exhibit of coal and iron ores,
of gold and other ores, all add evidence
to this statement. The photographs
presents, better than words could des-
cribe, the story of the new South. In
sun pictures are shown great factories
and iron furnaces and other scenes OF
industrial life, including pictures OF
wheat and hay fields, of trucking and
fruit farms, of resorts in mountain and
vale. of dairy and grazing farm life,
and scenic effects, snch as waterfalls,
river, mountain and valley scenes.

The killing of some twenty four rioters

considerable comment throughout the
country, and has brought forth the usual
socialisSic diatribes. Whether Martin
was justified in going TO extremi:ies is
not the question which will influence the
Hungarian government, II it at all con-
siders the matter Men engaged in riots
should be prepared TO take the conse-
ouences of their unlawful actions. The

assault upon the Off cers OF he law for
suppressing violence. No more Is II a
cause for the continuance Of riots in
Hazelton. The law must be upheld, and
the mistakes Of the officials Of the law
cannot be used as an argument against
the execution Of the law. The rioters

THE MEETING OF MAGNATEs AND
MECHANICS.
Times-Herald.

Times-Herald.
The meeting of the stockholders Of the
Illinois CentraI Railroad Wednesday was
p,obably the most notable event Of that
kind in the history of railroadng. The
memorable feature Of the gathering was
the presence Of a number Of mechanics
from the various railway shops Of the
company, all Of whom are stockholders
in the great corporation.
The event was significant of the pres
ent tendency toward closer and more
harmonious relations between railway
corporations and their employees. The
disposition to recognize the fact that the
interests OF employer and employe arr
Identical, and that any influence which
seeks to array one against the other is
an enemy Of both, is more pronounced
in railroading than in ay other idus-
try.
That this is true is due to the fact that
such strong, progressive and broal-mind-
ed men as President Stuyvesant Fish of
the Illinois Central are identified with
railway management in this country.
Although a strong, vigorous and for,eful
executive officer, Mr.. Fish stands for a
policy that imbues the minds Of railway
employees with the idea that they are
joint stockholders in a great enterprise
and that they have joint responsibility
in its earning power, and that It is upon
their loyal and conscientious fidelity TO
its interests that its success must large
" depend.
But the employees Of the Illinois Cen
traI are not only joint stockholders in
name. by virtue OF community OF inter.
est. but many are stockholders in fact
by reason Of actual investment. Under
the liberal policy inaugurated under Mr..
Fish's administration the employees are
permitted to buy single shares Of stock
on the installment plan. The books show
