Chairman Dingley can point 70 at least
one industry in the United states to which
his tariff bill has unquesuonably brought
prosperity, Of the most booming sort.
Whether ne would point with pride" is
another matter We refer TO the manu4
facture of "shoddy" The business is
upon the crest OF a wave Of prosperity
All Of the shoddy mills are working upon
extra time. Many Of them are working
day and night. one shoddy mill in Ohio
boasts that at the present rate of output
it viii in the run of a year manufacture
more artificial WOOL than there is real
wool grown upon the backs OF all the
sheep in the state in the same length Of
time. Another mill in New England
says it viii produce more wool" this
year than all of the sheep of New Eng
land. The demand for the product is very
heavy. All of the mills have orders for all
they can produce for months to come.
1t is hardly necessary to state what
shoddy is. Almost everybody knows it is
a cheap, spurious, poor stuff that is put
into textile fabrics TO reduce the cost to
manufacturers and thereby increase their
profits. II is made from rags and scraps;
any sort Of old secondhand wooden rags
will do for shoddy. The stuff is picked
and shredded and otherwise manipulated,
and is then worked into carpets and cloths
for sale to the poorer classes of purchas-
crs Often the shoddv IS made to mas
querade as "an wool" in material for
mems clothing, but the deception is soon
discovered by the laboring man who has
paid his hard earned money for a coat or
a pair Of trousers of the material, for they
quickly begin to fan to pieces.
The working people had some experience
with shoddy cloth and carpets during the
life of the Mckinley tariff law and they
have not forgotten what shoddy is I'm
der the Wilson law, however, there was
a great Improvement in the quality Of the
poor mans clothing. There was more
wool-real wool-in it, and the cost was
less. The manufacturers We're compelled
to put up Straight" goods in order to
compete with the foreign articles. The
Dingley law, however. knocks out compe-
titon, and revives the trade in shoddy
Since the election of President McKin-
ley" said one manufacturer of shoddy to
the New York Times the other day, "our
trade has been advancing each day We
have enough orders TO keep our working
force going for months to come. Our
trade will amount TO hundreds of thous-
ands of dollars" SO much for the prosper
ty of shoddy It is TO be hoped that we
are not entering an era of shoddy prosper

According to certain European stand
ards. it is to be taken for granted that
the Count of Turin has succeeded in es-
tablshlng the fact beyond all peradven-
ture that the Italian officers who fought
in Abyssinia were not towards, and that
Gen. Abertone did not do the outrageous
things which were attributed to him in an
interview which Prince Henri of Or
leans had with King Menelek of that coun-
try. On the other hand, If the Count of
Turin had received a thrust in the abdo-
men. or anywhere else, which might have
caused him to roll upon the ground and
exclaim that he could do no more, it
might equally have been taken for granted
that the Italians were towards, and that
Prince Henris charges were true It is
indeed an interesting form of argument
and arbitration that they use in France
and Italy, and means about as much as
the wrestling match which two members
of an Atlanta literary society indulged in
recently for the purpose of establishing
the respective merits of Tennyson and
Rudyard Kipling as poets
At the same time il must be admitted
that the dueling method of settling such
controversaries has its advantage. 1t is
true the example is bad but when a high
toned snobbsh Frenchman says certain
high toned snobbish Italians are towards
and rascals, according to some diplomatic
codes there is sufficient ground for an
International quarrel, the proportions OF
which would no doubt depend on the i'm
portance of the affair. But with "A duel. a
little punch in the abdomen, which a sur
geon's bandage and A little salve win
probably soon heal, settles the hole thing
and France and Italy shake hands again
as It were, and there are no International
complications. Prince Henri said the Ital-
ian officers were towards and refused to
retract the statement; therefore accord
ing to the code Of honor he had 60 fight. II
the jab in Henrrs abdomen satisfies the
Italians that the prince was mistaken. it
doesn't make any difference whether the
rest Of the world believes IL or not. In
suit has been wiped out with blood, honor
has been maintained. Great and mighty
is the name of Turin!

IsIt Another Rnnn,

The undulagons of the wave of pros
perity which is said to be spreading over
the country, appear to have reached Sa-
vannah's real estate market. There is
more ertivity in lot buying and house
building than has been known since 1893.
Real estate in this city has, on an aver
age, held up in value all through the hard
times. There was a little falling off In the
value of certain kinds of property but
good houses and eligible lots have, as a
rule, not only not deprecated, but have
advanced in asking prices. Real estate
brokers report steady sales and increas-
ing inquiries; ana that the people are
alive to the security which real estate
offers for investment is demonstrated by
the large number of buildings Just fin
ished or in course of construction Those
who have studied the matter. and some
who have had doubts as to Savannah's $
continued prosperity, are now satisfied
that city which has not only held its
own but has indeed gone ahead steadily
during the past four years, has a great
future, and is the place in which to in
vest their money.
The building and loan companies report
an active demand for loans. One Of them
paid out IN the month of July $4,000. all
of which represents earnings and invest
ments Of its stockholders. There is every
evidence of feeling OF confidence with
regard to the city's future. and II there is
not boom at hand there appears to be
something very near to it.

Speaker Reed, IL appears. has given an
explanation at last as to why he did
not permit any legislation In the House
OF Representatives during the extra ses-

said. could not agree on any subject and
it would have been folly to begin useless
contests. il IS TO be- noted. however. that
it did not take the two houses long to
agree ON the Dingley tarin bill. No doubt
there was an understanding on that ini-
quitous scheme before they assembled and
the working out of the details was the
