 Recently Mir. J. Schuehle of the Sonora brewery, sent to San Antonio, Texas, samples Of Hermosillo brick and adobe, to have their strength tested in a machine made for that purpose. The report at hand states that force of sixty-two tons per square'inch was exerted to crush the brick, and thirty tons to the square inch fur the adobeS. The safety fac tor is placed at one-sixth, which would give the bricks safety strength of ten tons per square, inch and the adobe five tons.

Appropriations.

Editor of The Times
Sir:-As an alumnus OF the University
OF Virginia, | desire TO say word In be-
half Of the claims OF that institution for
undated recognition by the State.
At present the Legislature. animated by
n most laudable motive. IS striving TO 20
govern our finances that we may not be
threatened with any danger Of default IN
meeting its obligations
To every thinking man and citizen this
Is a high principle, and should be Loyalty
upheld not only as matter or common
honesty. but for the further reason that
our credit and sovency depend upon tbs
action Of tht State in regard 10 her out
standing bonds.
II is true that the best way 20 keep out
OF debt for State or citizen Is not TO 20
beyond its income. and also that neither
gods nor men know how great a revenue
is derived from economy. but would cut
ting down the present appropriation be
economy? The part OF statesman Is 10
look 10 the future as well as the present,
and what Will the future OF the UniVer-
sty be under lesSened appropriation
In its place the efficiency of the Uni
Versity will be NECESSARILY impaired. M
one who understands the rigid discipline
practiced in that institutions finances can
doubt for a moment that it is now doing
all that is humanity possible TO give n
broad education 10 the young men of its
State. Nor Is IL open TO doubt that the
University Of Virginia Is In critical po-
Universities of the North is being pre-
scented more strongly; the antipathy OF
Southern men against going to the North
for a college education Is rapidly lessen
ing. the tide may easily be DETECTED. and
when once turned, II will cost hundreds
OF thousands Of dollars 10 regain the pO-
stiOn which the University now holds-a
position based on her great prestige gain
ed in the past through her professors and
her alUmni-and which row may be i'm
perilled TO divert a few thousands of dol
lars.
The cry OF the legislators is that the
revenue must not be exceeded. But by
sending the young men OF the South To
other States for their education, by ac-
knowledging the inability OF the State 10
keep up the high standard which has
heretofore been maintained by her moSt
praiseworthy institution. we. as people,
will have exercised our judgment In a
way-whOse results for evil Will be beyond
calm estimation.
Az a matter OF dollars and cents the
committee from tho University showed
how relatively little that Institution re-
ceived but 10 those who regard the fu-
ture OF the State-to those who desire 10
see General I.ees wish become a reality
that the young men OF the State should
al! stay al hOme-the prospect OF the pos
sihility having that great avenue 10 the
highest education closed, Is TO say the
least, disheartening.

NATIONAL INnI SIRIES.

The convention Of the National Asso-
citation of Manufacturers now in session
in New York city, is an interesting event
in the industrial world.
President Theodore c. Search, OF Phila-
delphia, reported that during the past
twelve months the industries of the
United States had progressed from long
continued dulness and stagnation into
pronounced activity. This, he said, was
evidenced by the enormous increase OF
exports over imports, and he analysed
at length the increasing foreign trade OF
this country. One of the greatest diff
culties in the way Of our foreign trade
now. said he, was the lack of shipping
facilities. and he advocated a liberal pol
lev on the part of the Government to
encourage American ship-bullding.
That this branch Of industry is increas-
ing. however, is made manifest by the
fact that Mr. c. 2. Huntington announces
that he will soon build another large
dry dock at Newport News and otherwise
increase the capacity of the mammoth
ship-yards at that place.
we do not know just what Mr.. Search
would have us do TO encourage the ship
building industry, but whether the Gov
eminent do anything or not. this industry
will undoubtedly increase as the years
so by.
Mr. search touched on another ques-
ton that IS of peculiar interest TO the
people Of the South. II was the value of
technical schools and the adyisability Of
increasing their number.
We have time and again referred TO this
matter in the columns OF The Times. and
we take this occasion to again emphasize
it's importance. The New England cotton
manufacturers. who recently reported on
conditions In that section, maintained
that ore Of the advantages that New
England had over the South was in its
abundant supply OF skilled labor.
That is an advantage and the South
must recognize il. We need skilled work
men In all departments OF industry, and
the creation OF such a supply will also
create a demand therefor. This is very
practical age and slip-shod methods will
not do. Education is no longer a matter
for the professions only. We must have
educated men in the industrial world as
well.
Returning to Mr Search's report, he
urged also the Importance OF divorcing
The consular service from politics. that
we may have in foreign lands practical
men of affairs and not political figure
heads TO represent our business inter-
ests. consular post is purely business
affair. and a good consul in a foreign
port can. IL he will. accomplish much
in the direction OF extending American
trade The time has come when this

have at least 5000 peach. pear and apple
trees which will bear fruit this season
Seaborn Wright has placed an order tor
1000 peach trees to be Immediately plant
ed upon his farm a short distance from
Rome. Mrs {. L. Graves has 1900 pecan
trees. besides several hundred peach ana
apple trees planted.
In speaking OF the sugar crop In LOUIS
lana the Picayune says: While the yield
OF cane was not as large as the Increased
acreage and the early promise Of the
crop warranted, 1t was nevertheless
heavier than seemed probable at the
commencement of the grinding season.
The quality OF the juice also steadily I'M
proved, and the yields towards the close
OF the campaign were so good as TO
greatly improve the aggregate results.
IL is now admitted on all sides that the
crop OF 1897 was fully as large as its pre-
decessor. and II receipts az New Orleans
are a good criterion. 1t Is really likely 10
show moderate increase.

A Boston newspaper remarks that
whatever nav be the need for the propos-
ed postal savings banks In other sections
OF the country. there is no demand Tor
that system in New England or the East.
That New England is well supplied with
thoroughly reliable savings banks ad-
mirabiy managed which pay their deposit
tors interest al the rate OF three or four
per cent
The business OK conducting savings
banks is increasing everywhere and Tor
the government to step in and compete
with them were a mischievous and un-
warranted usurpation. There is cry a..
over this country against national banks
of issue. and it is a remarkable coinci-
dence that from the same source comes
the demand for national savings banks
Our Boston contemporary further re-
marks:
Moreover. IL the postal savings banks

of the United States, an advantageous
use could be made of the deposits III th'
postal savings banks; but II the system

beyond that-and what would the govern
ment do with the money?
No man can answer this question bu

II is entirely within the range of plausible
speculation that in order TO find invest

THE MATHEWS-TELLE SILVER
RESOLUTION.

To-day is set for the vote in the Senate
upon the Stanley Mathews resolution q
1878. reintroduced recently by Senator
Teller, declaring that the bonds OF the
Government are payable in silver dollars
The resolution was passed by the Senate
when Mathews introduced it and we can
see no possible good even from The stand
point OF the free silver man in passing II
ar,in II stands upon the records or the
country Just as it was passed when
Mathews introduced it and passing II
again can add no sort Of force or effect
TO &. Boswell used to be always teas
ing DR.. Johnson with limitations that
Johnson's affection for him was possibly
waning. so that one day the irritable old
fellow turned on Boswell and said to
him, Il have already told you love you.
Do YOU wish me 10 repea, IT every morn
ing?" The free coiners are much like Bos-
well.
II was urn csssary 10 pass the reso-
luton in the first instance. The silver
dollars are just as much the dollars OF
the sovsrnm Mt as the gold dollars. and
they are legal tender for all obligations
to pay money. The Governments bonds
are promises TO pay dollars simply. and
the silver dollars are. therefore, just as
much included in their terms as the gold
dollars are. No one ever questioned the
TOO, and q is therefore, an idle waste
of time to be passing such resolutions
The question is not and never was
whether the government had the right
according to the terms OF the contract 10
pay the bonds with silver dollars. Inc
question is whether the Government
ought TO exercise the right which all men
concede il possesses. The true friends oil
the Government and the country have al
ways taken the position that as many
things are lawful which are not expe-
dent, the Government ought not TO take
advantage OF its right to pay out depre'
ciated money but 1t should carefully abb
stain from exercising such right tho
pay out only the very best money, IN or
der that its credit might be always KEPT
even with the best. That has always been
and still is the position OF the true friend
Of the Government and of the American
people
