Aye. there's the rub
"Divcrt traffic from the Central states"
How Why from the Pacific railroads.
Of course. and in no other way.
The transcontinental railroads have
been the great enemies OF this Nicaragua
canal, and they have had the support OF
some Of the ablest Senators in their war
fare upon the greatest OF existing schemes
for developing the trade Of the United
states. and especially OF the Southern

HOW THE UNIVERSITY OF VIRGINIA
Is ESTEEMED.

As an evidence OF the strong hold which
the University of Virginia has upon the
public heart, not merely at home. but
abroad IL is a remarkable fact that for
every dollar which the State has contri-
buted to that institution from 1866 10 1898
friends OF the institution have contributed
an equal amount, and nearly 100000 more.
All of this. except the Austin legacy. has
been actually received, and there are now
invested assets bearing interest or con-
vertible into cash TO the amount Of s647.-
$50, In which estimate is included $4,000
OF the Austin bequest, an assumed COM
mutation for $4,000 reversionary interest.
No other institution that this State has
or ever had. or probably ever will have.
can make such an exhibit as the Univer-
sity.
With such support from patriotism and
sentiment, II would would seem very
unwIse for the state itself. speaking
through its representatives. to declare
any lack OF confidence or appreciation of
SIS own University.

COTTON MILLs-NORTn AND SOUTH.

COTTON MILLS-NORTH AND SOUTH.
l.. A. Coolidge contributes to the New
York World an interesting article on
Southern cotton mills.
He writes from Charlotte, n. c., and
begins by saying that twelve States south
Of Mason and Dixons line boast more
than half as many cotton mills to-day az
there were seven years ago in the entire
United States. The exact number is 4Sj.
by the census OF 1890 the number Of mills
in the United States was 9O5.
Mr.. Coolidge shows that the mills OF the
South are in a hourishng condition and
verlfies the claim OF the New Englanders
that tabor is at least 30 per cent. cheap
er.
II has been said time and again Of
late by congressman and others who have
been talking on this subject, that the
advantage Of cheap labor in the South is
merely temporary. because IN the course
OF time the Southern operatives will de-
mand the same pay that the operatives
at the North receive.
But there is this great difference which
the Northern men do not seem TO I'M
cerstand. Mr.. Coolidge points It out. 1T
is. by no means. unusual in the South.
he says. "for family of five. consisting
OF father. mother, and three children to
earn SIC week. The father will earn
IS. the mother s.. and each Of the children
from $3.50 TO s." Now comes the point
This family" he adds, lives on s. a
week, and with ordinary thrift they can
save handsome surplus every year. In
a Northern mill. the father alone would
be the wage Garner. or at best, he might
have the assistance OF his wife. The
expense OF living would be at least 81 a
week" "A difference of 40 per cent in
pay" he concludes. would not begin to
equalize conditions"
Living is undoubtedly much cheaper in
the South than in the North, and all
things being taken into consideration the
wages I'm the Southern mills are quite as
high as they are in the mills Of New Eng
land.
