IT appears that one OF the objections
the Plat people have To Seth Low. Tho
candidate for Mayor Of Greater New

should he be elected. The following /,

A COMPLIMENT TOLEE.

The friends and admirers OF Consul
General Lee will read with pleasure the
following complimentary reference Ia
him by the Hartford telegram:
General Lee is coming home ON a

pected that eX-Congrcssman Frank
Aldrich, of Chicago, will be his sue
cessor. II he makes ms good Con-
sui General as Lee, nothing can Tie
desired, for, Democrat though he he.
General Lee has been one or tho
best men for the position that could
possibly have boon found for the
very exciting times through which
he has passed"
This Is entirely correct, save the In
ference that Democrat is not expected
to make n good official, and when II Is
considered that such n feeling is "brca Il
and born" in the Telegram, that may be
overlooked. or course. the Telegram
knows that Democrats not only make as

DIRECT TRADE WITH EUROPE.

An enlarged direct trade between the
South. and especially the Gulf ports,
and foreign nations Is something that
| must be taken into account in the flu
ture of American commerce, asserts the
Pittsburg Post, which adds that 1t is
already regarded with some uneasiness
by North Atlantic ports, and We'll may
| they be. Our export trade last year in
| creased $3.50, 0O0,o 600. and Of this increase
$1O1 100000 was from twenty-one South
ern ports and SGS.000,00O from all others,
| los In number. In the year 1896 twenty
one Southern ports exported $500, 900 900
worth of merchandise; In the fiscal year
Of 1897 $3T0 600, 600 worth. an increase of
S10l 100000. The gain was over 81 per
cent.
In the Southern increase Galveston
led off, New Orleans being close sec
ond. Baltimore came next. There was
not much difference in the exports Of
these three ports, the aggregate for all
being close on SG0000,00 Next In order
| IN the rate Of increase were Norfolk,
| Newport News and Pensacola.
The North Atlantic ports have en-
joyed monopoly of the foreign export
business from almost the birth of the
republic, but 1t seems that the day when
they could control 1t is one of the th.cgs
of the past. It's the short haul or rather
the distance saved in the haul from the
great proiu, ng centres Of the West,
| that has Etycn the trade to Southern
ports. Twen .y-one new transatlantic
steamship lHes have been started from
southern rtris duricg the past year
and more are to- follow. New York and
the North Atlantic ports have had their
day in the foreign export business. but
the tide has set Southwark and they
cant turn It back.
