CURRENT COMMENT.

Commenting on Mr. Thurbers criticism
of the South in his article read in Atlanta
the other day the Baltimore Sun DEM
says: 1T would be very much wiser and
juster for the Eastern critics of the South
10 drop their tone Of lorty superiority and
to assume a more reasonable attitude.
These gentlemen may be alarmed at the
development of manufacturing industries
in the South, and may hope to arrest that
development by discrediting the South.
The time has passed for that, however. 1t
is impossible 10 stop the growth of the
South now by the methods which proved
successful for twenty-five years or more.
The efforts of Eastern business men
should be directed toward bringing the
North and South in closer relation, and
not expended in bitter criticism which in
crease the hard feeling between the peo-
pie of the two sections. The South is not
perfect and, for that matter neither is
any other section of the country. But
the conditions which exist in the South
are not altogether of its own making. 1t
was delivered by men like Mr.. Turber and
many of whom he speaks into the hands
of iliterate blacks and the vicious men
who came from the North to lead them
on to prey upon the South. That it re-
covered from this saturnalla of debauch-
cry and ignorance, re-established good
government and again became prosperous
is one of the marvels of the century. The
men of the North who did so much to keep
the South down through the reconstruc-
ton period should not be amazed If they
find imperfections here and there. They
should rather rejoice that the crime of
recons lruction" utterly failed of its pur-
pose, and that the South is now wei on
the way to prosperity, industrial if not
agricultural. There is even a hope thai
agricultural prosperity viii come in time,
if the trusts do not corner all the crops,
as they seem to have done In the case of
tobacco"

The Philadelphia Ledger, Un6 says.
THE proposition to pacify Canada by Civ
ing her free access to an American port
on the Lynn Canal Is of the same charac-
ter which gives a petuiant child a stick of
candy to stop its worrying, when a spank
ing would have a much better effect.
Canada has sci up this agitation partly for
purposes Of home politics and partly for
what she may be able to gain by it. Any
concession to her will be so much clear
gain and so much of a triumph for her.
and will encourage her to make further
demands at the first opportunity. The on
" proper course is to insist that Great
Britain shall exercise her authority over
this obstreperous child and make her be-
have herself"

CHICAGO, April 21.-Realizing today on
reported Improvement in the crop sltua-
tion weakened wheat May and July both
closed a4@7sc lower. Corn was heavy, and
lost sc. Oats, pork, lard and ribs, each
closed a shade higher.
Unexpected steadiness at Liverpool, and
rather light shipments from Argentine
for the week gave wheat some strength
| at the opening. May started Nc higher,
| at 7474Ql74Ssc, and advanced to 7411c. Talk
of scattered showers in the winter wheat
country, and selling by foreigners at the
seaboard caused buyers to hesitate, and
the price reacted to 741sc. The selling
was checked for a time, on reports by
a prominent statistican that the total
yield this year would be 1500O0,000 bushels
less than last year. On this upturn, May
touched 7412c again, but report by the
Modern Miller, which emphatically pre-
dicted an average crop in spite Of all
claims in the way of crop damage, started
liquidation, and May was forced off to
73Ac, closing at 1880. July sold as low
as 74ssc, and closed at 74as@74lAc. There
was a noticeable falling off in crop dam
age claims during todays session.
Chicago received SO cars, eight Of which
graded contract. Minneapolis and Duluth
got 21, compared with 217 the same day
last year. Receipts at the chief Western
primary markets were $4,000 bushels,
ports Of wheat and flour were equal to
400, 900 bushels.
Corn declined under free liquidation. All
| indications pointed to a large acreage for
the coming season Country offerings
were more liberal, while the shipping de-
! mand was only moderate. Receipts were
POP cars. May opened 1s@14c lower, at
4a4@34Ac, and declined to 343sc at the
close.
Heavy buying by shippers and elevator
concerns on a renewal Of the low export
rates which was withdrawn suddenly.
yesterday strengthened oats temporarily.
Receipts, 163 cars May started 1sc higher
and advanced to &c; reacted to 265sc, and
closed at 265s@26a4c.
A good cash meat demand together
with the high price for hogs strengthened
provisions early. Near the end, however,
the advance was nearly all lost on ac-
count of the weakness in grains. May
pork opened sc higher, at 1920, rose to
s9.221ac declined to $9.15, and closed at
$91715. The range in lard and ribs was
small.
Estimated receipts for Saturday:
Wheat, 81 cars; corn, 1874 cars; oats, 1888
cars; hogs, $1,000 head.
The leading futures ranged as follows:

JAPANESE ORANGE,
Grated On to Louisiana Product
Stands Zero Weather.

Grated On to Louisiana Product,
Stands Zero Weather.
The gradual change Of climate in Louis
lana has been very disastrous to the
orange growers, and the orange groves
in the South would soon have been aban-
doned entirely had it not been for the
introduction of the Japanese tripoliate,
which, crossed with the ordinary variety,
has stood the recent severe blizzard,
which killed all the other orange trees in
Louisiana.
Immediately on the Weather Bureau 8
warning of the cold wave of February
u the orange growers, in fear of re-
petition of the devastating frosts of
three years ago, took energetic but use
less steps to save the trees that had just
reached the bearing stage since the last
wholesale destruction. Groves were
flooded, orchards smudged and the trees
even covered with mating, but the re-
suits Were the same in every case. Every
orange tree was killed with the exception
of the trifoliate, and the discouraged
orange growers have again taken heart
from the extraordinary hardness of the
variety.
Owing to either the settlement Of the
upper country and the destruction of the
forests, or to some other cause, severe
winters are more frequent in Lower
Louisiana than of old. The ordinary sweet
orange can not stand a lower tempera-
ture than 20 degrees above zero, and even
rs degrees will kill the young plants In
the last rs years the thermometer has
dropped to 16 or below three or four
times. Each time there was a wholesale
destruction of the orange trees, both
young and old, and the sour orange was
grated on, producing a fruit of excel
lent quality able to stand eight or ten
degrees more of cold than its predecessor.
The recent blizzard, however, has demon
strated that no trees can be grown that

YAwNING NO SLIGHT.
1t Must Now Be Considered a High
Compliment.


Have you ever observed at a theater or
concert that the people who are most
deeply interested appear between the acts
to be quite weary of the whole thing,
yawfing half a dozen times in success
sion? The reason Of this is a physiologi-
cal one When your attention is much
absorbed in anything exciting or touch
ing. you breathe in very shallow man
ner, and take into your lungs only half
enough air. Consequently, when your
attention is relaxed, you have to make
up the deficiency. This you do by yawn-
ing, which, after all, is only breathing
very deep breath.
IL you watch a man at play, and OBJ
serve that he is greatly moved by some
incident, you may feel sure that when
the scene ends he will sigh, and a moment
or two later yawn repeatedly. Of course.
the yawning, so far from being a sign
OF WEAKNESS, is proof of the liveliest
appreciation.
very often you will observe the same
phenomenon In a girl reading a novel
And by her yawns you can tell when the
eno OF some absorbing incident is
reached.
