WHAT THE SOUTH is LEARNING.

Tho Florida Times-unon says that the
people OF Florida have learned from
their late experiences that 'the promises
OF the demagogues are worthless ana
when we finish paying the d9mag's 'hey
have brought upon US we shan no longer
believe that any set OF men in Tallahassee
or washington can iegslate money into
our pockets or clothes on our backs while
We swing IN a hammock and smoke
IL the FlorIdinns have indeed learned
this lesson. happy are they and their ex-
perience has not been in vain. The dem
agogues had set tho people wild with the
,rea that the hard times were due 10 bad
legislation and that a change in the laws
as all that was necessary TO bring back
prosperity. Indeed many well mean
ing men have been tempted TO fold Their
hands in despair under the belief that
it was useless for one to try 10 do any
thing. until the minis Of the country
should be opened 10 the free coinage OF
silver until the corporations shou'u De
gagged. until the money power shouiu
be throttled and until some sort OF laws
should be enacted for the peculiar oene-
fit Of this or that class.
They had come to believe that the coun-
try would so TO the dogs under the golu
standard. and even now there are those
who tell them. for purpose, that there
has been no improvement and that there
can be none under the existing regime.
But the people are getting their eyes
open. Dollar wheat. big prices Tor TO
bacco. great sums OF money seeking IN
vestment at o reduced rate OF interest
fourishng cotton mills and iron INDUS
tries in the South. and the revival OF All
branches Of business as evictrced III the
trade reports for 1891 are arguments that
cannot be answered and the people are
beginning to realize that they have been
deceived. They are beginning TO see
that prosperity IS 10 come by work ana
enterprise and close attention to ones
affairs rather than by legislation. In
short they are fast learning that they
have been humbugged.

a scnsibls negro preacher in the South
has been advising members of his race
TO stick to the farm. Good advice. The
negro is a born farmer and agriculture
suits him better than any other occupa-
ton Herein is one field at least i'm
which he has an equal chance with the
white man and i'm which there can be no
possible discrimination against him. In
business. in the professions, in tha indus

against him and he must fight race pre-
iudice. But this is not true Of the
farm. There he is lord Of all he sur
voys very prince OF the field and when

stops to inquire whether they were made
by black man or n white man. SEN

tioally all this copper was produced from
the Butte district.
The history OF the copper industry In
Montana. which IS the history Of Butte
dates back only fifteen years. The ac-
live search for copper began in 1881.
From that time the daily output has In
creased from 900 tons TO 1000 tons.
Taking copper at an average value OF
II cents. the total value OF copper alone
taken from Butte is $9uJ,cpcvO.
In his message 10 the Mississippi Legis-
lature, Governor McIlwaIne charged that
the United States Marine Hospital was
responsible FOR the introduction OF yellow
fever into the State last September. In
this way he made a strong effort against
the proposed national quarantine which
would place the States under control.
The Governor made another declaration
Of political interest. In which he declared
emphatically for the election Of United
States senators by the people direct.
A consensus of opinion among the leg
isiators shows that this suggestion meets
with favor. and the probability is that
this session will take the preliminary
step To give tho frs, decisive test 70 the
question OF electing senator's by the peo-
pie.
It is said that the burning of the court
house OF Echols county, Ga, was part Of
criminal scheme connected with land
titles in the wire grass district of Georgia.
The desti uction Of the building was COM
plete and every scrap Of paper Of the
county records was destroyed.
For nearly one hundred years large
region of this part Of Georgia has had
its land titles disputed, because Of bogus
titles which We're issued in 1888. many Of
them being in favor Of Robert Morris,
the financier Of the Revolution. II has
never been believed. however, that he
had personal cognizance of them, but
frequently these titles bob up 20 play
