Despits the folly of the present polit-
ioal leadership, which seems bent on do
ing what it can to destroy all business
confidence, the great natural wealth of
the South is forcing that section to the
front as the one place that seems to pros
per in bad times as we'll as good.
From two statistical reports which the
Philadelphia Times quotes. it appears
that the production of pig-iron for 1896
in the United States was 1898, 1877 tons,
a decrease of s23, ISL tons from tho year
1896 OF this amount the South, in
which there was scarcely blast furnace
at the close of the war, produced 1924, 451
tons, all increase of 1884, 900 tons over
1895. The bank cleaFings tell the same
story. rhe clearings of the second week
n January in the whole South as COM
pared with the corresponding week one
year ago, show gain Of 6 per cent,
while the Middle States show a decrease
of liz and the Pacific States a decrease
of 5h per cent. Only New England. of
the entire North showed any increase,
and its increase was less than that Of
the South.

THE MAINE STATE COLLEGE.

The provision of the constitution which
authorizes the legislature to aid this in
stitutiou is as follows:
And it shall further be their duty to
encourage aui suitably endow, from
time to time, as the circumstances of the
people may authorize, all academies col
leges and seminariessof learning within
the State. I"
This utterly overthrows the proposition
that the State is under any greater obi
cation. to aid.the State college than any
of the others. The argument, therefore,
that the acceptance Of the gift from the
United States carries with it any obliga-
ton to place the State college upon any
better footing than any OF the Uther
colleges has no foundation, because it
assumes that an act of the Legislature
oSerrides the constitution.
1t is also evident that the pending re-
solve is in violation of the constitution,
in undertaking to determine what the
State will do ten years hence. The en-
dowment is tG be made 'ffron time to
time "as the circumstances of the
people may Tauthoriza. The authority
of the legislature is limited to what the
college needs now. during the existencs
of the present legislature. It Is the pre-
rosative Of the next legislature to de-
termine what suitable endowment will
be for 1899 and 1909, CONS idering what
the.-circumstance of the people. may then
authorize.
To forestall the action of future legis-
latures in this respect is an attempted
usurpation of authority in direct VIOLA
ton of the Constitution.
1t is rumored that Gov. Powers has
notified the board of agriculture that un-
less the appropriation is cut down to $50, >
600 he will veto..it. Heiought to veto it,
no matter what it's amount, if it is made

What It Costs to Cable.

Few persons who have no experience
| with telegraph tolls appreciate the ex-
pense of cable communication. Gable

per message of ten words, and the figures
are very much higher. Messages to Eng

per word from Chicago. Belpium's rate
is SO cents, Holland and Italy, SO cents:
Austria, 40 cents; Greece, A cents;

war has greatly increased the volume of
telegraphic business in the West Indies.
The lowest rate is 40 cents per word for

The current issue Of the "Elect zeal
Review" announces new discovery in
the art Of casting copper which is destined
to work revolution in the use of that
metal. Copper is ordinarily cast by the
use of alloys. 1t las heretofore been con-
sidered that the peculiar kind of metal
which is cast pure by the Few process
was an absolute possibility. 1t Is stated
that the metal possesses an additional
tensile strength of 33 1-3 per cent, and q
much higher percentage of elasticity has
been developed in it, SO that it has a
conductivity Of 95 per cent as compared
with the best rolled copper. Wire
made of 1t will possess greater strength
than the ordinary copper wi-e, and the
discovery is expected to work radical
change in motors, dyuamos, etc.
