Labor vs.. Machinery.

1t is true today, as always that
none are so blind as those who won't
see.::All the silly babbles OF agitators
and befogged economists about labor
and laborers, gets well answered by
census reports and statistical tables
Inventions create new industries,
work begets work, and the multi
plieG use OF machinery callsloudIy for
more workmen. We need to revise
our opinions about the decadence OF
of labor demand supplemented by
machinery. The facts are against
us. however much we cite Bob. lnger-
soil and the ranter. In all the com
petition between the machine and
human labor, the prices OF goods
have been diminished, but the wages
oflabor have advanced; and WHAT'S
also of moment, the percentage OF
laborers to total population shows
a steady increase from census to
census.
A most excellent report from the
labor bureau of the state OF New
York verfes this conclusion and
makes the all important statement
that in these countries, more espec-
ially England and the United States,
using machinery unstintedly, the
general condition of working people
is infinitely superior to the condition
oflaborers in lands where little or
no machinery is used. Travellers in
countries bounding the Mediterra
mean sea have no difficulty in accept
ing the truth of this assertion. Th'
age of highly efficient machinery Il
indeed the golden age of peoples
prosperity. 1t is a swapping o
work productive of most comfort.

Tennessee's Centennial Opens.

The Tennessee Centennial Exposition
was opened at noon Saturday with APP
propriate ceremonies in the presence
of many thousands of people. The
weather was bright and cool. The pro-
cession formed on the public square and
marched to the exposition grounds. The
public buildings and hundreds of business
houses and private residences along the
line of march and every other portion of
the city were handsomely decorated.
The men who conceived the idea of a
Tennessee Centennial Exposition intended
merely to celebrate, in fitting manner,
the entrance of Tennessee into the union
of states, but the project meeting at once
with general appreciation, increased in
power and scope and almost imper-
ceptibly grew from a state to national
affair, and thence into an international
event of unusual magnitude. The expo
stion was intended solely to show to
! the world the vast resources of the state

Export of Cotton Goods.

While most men nourlsh decided
opinions about ways and means, 1t
is interesting to note for the past
year a very great advance in our
export of cotton productions. The
enormous total Of 2S1 ,211 ,521 yards
of cotton goods of all sorts, an
increase of SOS per cent over the
export of 1895 was sent, during
the year 1896, away from our shores.
We had been repeatedly told it was
useless to expect further expansion in
our foreign trade in cottons. A
wise man used to say that the great
est ameiorator of the world was
selfish huckstering trade. Let us
help on this kind OF philanthropy all
we can.

Berlin and Cologne.
(Editoral Correspondence

When | reached Dresden was the
farthest east l think that had ever been,
yet had gone few miles further to the
boundaries of the domains of the Car,
his empire would have been the only one
between me and my own country. But

and so turned my face homeward with
the anticipated pleasure of being nearer
home each day travelled. And when
at the Belgian frontier set my watch
back an hour | realized more than ever
that | was nearer ST. Johnsbury then
than had been before for several weeks.
During the week have seen three Euro
pean capitals, Berlin, Brussels and Paris,
taken a ride down the Rhine and seen
Cologne and its great cathedral, Any
one can do this and see great deal if he
will make up his mind to leave many
things unseen. Each city has it's chief
attractions and after seeing these, the
architecture of the place and the street
scenes, you have really seen much in
short time.
Berlin lmpresses one at once with its
magnificent buildings and its wide
streets. That world-renowned boule-
ward, Inter den Linden is worth going
many miles to see. The Germans are
slow III some things, but they can dis
count any American or European city
in municipal government and their
streets are the cleanest in the world.
The asphalt pavements are scraped after
every rain and several times between
showers. Not scrap of paper is to be
found in the streets mounted police keep
; carriages in two lines and at every street
/ corner there are more police to escort

and to show the treasures OF TINS rich
land, whose very "stones are iron anu
out of whose hills thou mayst dig brass
Another and very important feature at
Nashville is that each OF the large build
ings is a sermon in stone, a legend IN
architecture and poem in white.
The principal buildings are as follows
First, the Parthenon, as orig'nahy
designed and completed by Phld'as at
Athens; the Erechtheon, or History build
ing, will be the depository OF valuable
relics; the Commerce building, known
since the Worlds Fair in Exposition par
lance as the Manufacturers and Liberal
Arts building; the Education and
Hygiene building; Agriculture; Trans
portation; Negro building; Machinery;
Government building; the Woman's
building; Minerals and Forestry and
Others OF lesser note, nearly so in all.
The women OF Tennessee have played
no mean part in the necessary work OF
making the exposition a great success.
They organized the womans department
by placing Mrs. Van Leer Kirkman,
sweet, womanly woman and a famous
beauty, at the helm as president, and she
has been ably assisted by Miss Ada Scott
Rice, secretary, and board of managers
selected from the best material in the
state. They selected as the architect OF
the Woman's building Mrs. Sara Ward
Cooley, whose work now speaks for itself,
and approves the wisdom OF their choice
The Woman's building is in the Colonial
style of architecture, and the Hermitage,
the home of Andrew Jackson, has been
used as model.
The opening ceremonies were so simple
and so plain that they will be in perfect
harmony with the methods OF the d.
rector general and his efficient commit
tees, but they were at the same time very
impressive, and made fitting prelude te
one of the most memorable events II
Tennessee history. The opening OF TIT
, exposition marks the Tooth year OF thu
admission of the state into the sister
hood OF commonwealth.
: There were addresses and music, ate
: which President Thomas said: "Ladie
and gentlemen, | will dictate telegram

e of America, Washington, D. c.:
e "The people of Tennessee send greet

# Before leaving the key President M
# Knley received the following message:

The Fighting Greek.

To the superficial and prejudiced OBJ
server of the Greeks, the development of
the fighting spirit is surprise, and to
many disagreeable one. The belief was
common and freely expressed that the
Greeks would never fight, that they
would run at the first shot; that the
Turks would be in Athens in week from
the opening of hostlities whenever war
might take place. and much more of the
same kind of criticism. They had no
sense of discipline; they were deficient in
material and had inferior arms; there
was no chance tor them against the
hardy, brave, obedient Turk with his
ianaticism.
The Greeks have been despised by some
military critics because they were ad-
dcted to commerce and the arts OF peace
their Hellenic ideal was ridculed. But
now it is seen and acknowledged to have
a real force. The fanaticism of the Turk

The inherited hate OF centuries OF the
Christian for the Moslem has converted
the man of commerce, the tiller of the soil
and the peaceful shepherd into fearless
warriors 1t is indeed, strange ano
moving spectacle, and is worthy OF study
1t would seem as though one OF those
waves of influence that have moved sec
tons of humanity at certain stages o
history, and inspired men to great acts
is now animating the races that have
passed through more than four centuries
of Turkish oppression to rise for the de
struction OF their old oppressor.
Whatever their faults and the defects o
their character, the Greeks are exhibitin!

this was made possible by DR.. Seward
Webb assisting largelyin the expense.
This is the second time that DR..

When Bess Was Old.

Queen Elizabeth's scheme OF lite re-
ouired that she should neither feel nor
look her years, and the shifts to winch
she had already been driven to conceal
their external ravages would excuse a
smile in any weaker woman's history.
In hers they almost justify tear. When
she appeared in public many coats OF
pantheon Johnson says the color was
often vermilion-smeared not only her
face, but her neck and breasts. A wig OF
bright red hair covered her head. Under
her personal directions her sergeant
painter published fatteringly unfaith-
full portrait of her, and her subjects were
forbidden, under heavy penalties, to pre-
pare or circulate any other pictorial rep
entation. Within little more than
year of the end special embassy visited
her from France. She rose from her
throne to dance galliard. Some months
later govt seized her fingers. She pretended
insensibility to the pain, and turned a
deaf ear to all suggestions of remedy.
But despite her strength of will the facts
could not, under every condition, be sup
pressed. When she paid her last visit to
Sir Robert Cecil he offered her his hand
as she stepped into her barge. She
baughtily declined it, and, stumbling
bruised herself From the Cornhill.

OF Tennessee at the liberal excursion

wonderful new resources OF the south
there will be ample evidence that the
development Of that section since the
