THE LUsTY SOUTH.


The current number of the Manufac-
turers' Record, more than twice the
usual size, is devoted to an exhaustive
summary of the industrial South of to-
day. Mon who are authorities in South
ern Development contribute chapters
about iron, cotton, lumber, phosphate and
other bases of Southern manufacturing.
They tell of the new impetus given to
developing Southern resources and of
the abundant wealth that is coming from
mine. mill, forest and field. 1t is a series
of stories of development that will in
spirc Southern men to renewed labor
and induce the investment of millions
of outside capital. In summing up, the
Record says:
Thirty years ago the South was
crippled and poverty-stricken. Its
natural resources of wealth We're I'M
surpassed. But it was without strength
opportunity or implements to develop
them. Imperfect means of transporta-
ton and communication, a dsorganized
labor system, the ranks of the most
vigorous element in the population de-
pleted. practically no ready money and
the absence Of the outside helping-hand
were enough to appall most sturdy
people. But from wreck and ruin the
South has emerged energetic, progress
sive, sanguine. Today it has $1,000
100000 invested in manufacturing,
with an annual output valued at $1,000
100000, and paying S300.O0O,OOO in
wages. Its cotton mills, with 100000
spindles, representing an investment of
$125, 100000, already consume yearly
100000 bales of cotton. 1t is producing
about 100000 tons of pig-iron a year,
100000 tons of coal, from 10000, 600
to 100000 bales of cotton, probably
100000 feet of lumber and $50,
100000 bushels of grain, and its rail-
roads, steadily improving and increasing
III length, have already a 10000 mile
age. The South has accomplished much.
1t has much more to do before its full
growth shall have been attained. That
it will be equal to its mighty task is
proved by its present lustiness."
The magnificent showing made by
statistics and facts that cannot be dis
puted, in this great number of the
Manufacturers Record, will give new
impetus to the opening of the inexhausti-
BILE sources of wealth in the South.
The whole South owes a debt of graft
tude to the Record for the thoroughness
and perfection with which it has pre-
scented the strong points in the profitable
openings for investment in the South

A HARD HIT.

Atlanta is trying to have the Presby-
terians move their Theological Semln-
airy from Columbia to Georgia's capital.
Combating the proposition, the Columbia
State makes hit when it says.
Atlanta has inpudence enough TO ask
for anything, and we are not SURPRISED
that it wants to take the Presbyterian
Theological Seminary from Coiuninia.
Some time ago it asked for and OBJ
tanned the new Federal penitcanary--
for the reason, we surmise, that it was
the centre of Southern criminalIfy. Ii
is to be assumed that it now claims fhe
seminary on the ground that il needs re-
ligion more than any other place, Which
may be true. Anyhow, prea che.s ana
prisoners, theologs and thugs, are al
grist to Atlanta's mill.
The Atlanta papers viii have TO put Oh
their thinking caps to get even.

THE REVOLUTION.

1t will be remembered that in Novem-
Der of last year the people of Whining
ton served notice on several vicious white
and colored men, whose conduct had en-
dangered the peace and happiness of the
city. to leave the city for the city S
good. 1t was a severe remedy but the
disease was an acute one. Since then
Wilmington has had quiet and has gone
forward without friction or race trouble
A few days ago, Il. C. Miller, negro
exiled from Wilmington on the 10Th OF
November, 1893, wrote letter that was
published in the Wilmington papers re-
questing to be permitted to return to
Wilmington to answer summons IN
court and also to wind UP his affairs.
THE Messenger says it has created con-
siderable comment and the following COM
nlunication is indicative of the sentiment
of very many people"
Editor Messenger: THE man who is
convicted by Judge and jury and SEN
fenced to the penitentiary is straightway
carried to that abode and no opportunity
is allowed him to return to his former
place for the purpose of settling up amy
affairs. Moral: He who wants to give
his personal attention to his property
should refrain from committing a felony.
Last year some three thousand citi-
zens of Wilmington, constituting court
of original and final jurisdiction, decreed
that certain men, Tom Miller among
them who had been instigators If yio-
lence, utterers of threats tending TO pro-
duce breaches of peace, and promoters OF
an unbearably evil government should
be permanently exiled from the city.
That court has dissolved, and FROM its
edict there can be no safe appeal. 10
reconyene it is not desired MOI lesira-
BILE. He who has forfeited, By his OWL
conduct, the right to dwell in COM
munity, may repent, and may make
speeious pleas for permission TO come
back, but the paramount necessity for
an avoidance of the trouble, liable to
be caused by his return, is too great,
for any sensible individual 10 feel that
it is proper to permit of it.
Let the exiles understand that the
decree was perpetual, and that i can
not safely be broken for a day, and we
are resolute that it shall not be

SENATOR DANIELS VIEWS.

In an address at banquet given by
the Virginia Democratic Association,
Senator Daniel gave utterance to his
views of party policy, saying among
other things:
II am not going to discuss the plat
form of 1900 There is not Il line in the
1896 platform in which | do not believe
There is not line or a word in 1t that
a man who is a constitutional lawyer
cannot demonstrate to be sound in prln-
ciple. The Democratic platform OF
1896 is like a ship--ironclad. 1t is
impregnable sound in logic and morals,
1t will stand the test.
There is no party that was ever able
to lay down its line of battle before
ii was on the field. No political party
in 100 years has been able to make
two campaigns on the same PLATFORM
not because they We're not true to
their principles, but because there has
never been two consecutive four years
that did not present different problems
and problems in different phases.
Il will not commit myself nor Will
I advise any Democrat to commit hlm-
self so that he may not favor any addi-
ton or amendment, as the time, place
and circumstance may call for AS far
as | know, our great leader and stand
ard-bearer will lead the party again in
1900 The great place that he occupies
in the confidence and the affections OF
the people who voted for him must
not be overlooked. ! see no indications
why he will net be the man to head
our cause in 1900.
In the year 1900 Senator Daniels
great grandfather voted for Thomas JEFF
ferson. From that time to this not
descendant OF the old Jeffersonian has
scratched Democratic ticket, and the
Senator is worthy OF his patriotic ances-
tors. He has a right to be heard in
Democratic councils by the right OF
heredity and devotion to Democratic
principles.

This is true, also, Of the man or woman
who has rheumatism, which is a most
annoying irritating and painful disease.
The muscles are stiff and sore. There
are sharp pains i'm the Joints, ankles,
shoulders, elbows, knees and wrists. Ahe
nains often shift from one joint to an
other, and appear suddenly in unexpected
places, giving the sufferer no peace, day
or night Rheumatism is, in fact, con-
slant torture, and you wonder what
causes it, why you or your. friends should
snffcr from it, and whether there IS real
" any cure. Let us tell you.
Owing to various causes, among which
are improperly digested food, living in
cold. damp places, and neglect of the
general rules of health, there is acid in
the blood. This, settling in the joints.
is the cause of those eXcruciating pains.
Rheumatism is a disease with which
it does not pay to daily. 1t cannot be
cared by liniments, lotions or other out
ward applications. 1t can be cured by
taking Hoods Sarsaparilla which neu-
tralizes the acid in the blood.
If YOU have rheumatism and wish to get
rid OF it, there are two very strong rea-
sons why on may take Hoods Sarsapar-

curative power. 1t is honestly prepar-
ed by educated and experienced pharma-

OTHERS BESIDES ROBERTS.

There Is an honest difference of opin-
ION as TO whether Roberts ought TO have
been permitted to take the oath and
then tried on the charges Of polygamy,
or stood aside and denied admission to
the House pending an investigation. As
practical matter it is not material
which course should be adopted. The
House decided by large majority to
deny him seat until the charge or
polygamy was settled. Even if correct,
chat procedure makes n dangerous prece-
dent. There is no difference of opinion
anfong, good men about the evils OF
polygamy and the opposition to Roberts
is SOLELY based on an adherence of the
sin IF plural wives. 1t may well be
questioned whether those Republican
leaders who voted to seat Cannon, 4
Republican, who had several wives, in
the Senate, and who in this administra-
ton have voted to confirm at least
two Republican postmasters who have
more than one wife, and who are vot-
ing money to pay the salary of the
keeper Of the harem of the Sultan OF
Sulu-it may well be doubted if these
men are actuated by pure motives i'll

official who is in the same boat with Re
publican sinners. We rather suspect tnat
A, fnf,
political effect. However that may be, the
national conscience is aroused against
any recognition of polygamy and the
people have decreed that it must be
stamped out Roberts must go and
Utah must send a man with one law
full wife or no wife at all to Congress
or go unrepresented. Mckinley oughr
at the same time to revoke the commits
sion of those postmasters recently APP
pointed who are polygamists.
The reform ought not to stop with
correcting these evils at home. Tne
Republicans are committed to end it
in all the territories. The Republican
platform of 1898 sad:
.'In the exercise of this power it is
the right and duty of Congress to pro-
hibit and extirpate, in the territories,
that relic of Larbarism. polygamy: and
we demand such legislation as shall Sc
cure this end, and the supremacy OF
American institutions in all the terrific
ries."
The platform of 1880 declared that
slavery having persisted in the States,
its twin barbarity, polygamy, must die
in the territories"
And yet. in the face of these declara-
tons. in this year of grace, this admin
istration has made a treaty with the
Sultan of Sulu by which the United
States recognizes slavery and ifs twin
barbarity, polygamy" and the Federal
Treasury pays the salary of the keeper
of the harem OF the Sultan. 1t is pro-
vided III the treaty that the slaves can
purchase their freedom by paying $50,
but as they receive no wages for their
work from their owners, it is easier for
a camel to go through the eye of a
needle than for them to purchase their
freedom. Those Congressman who de-
nounce polygamy in Utah until they
are black in the face have not yet been
heard to criticize the newly recognized
slavery and polygamy in American ter
ritories or colonies. There is need of a
Wendell Phillips or Garrison to begin
a new crusade against slavery and Its
twin barharity."
