Profits Of Southern Mills.

from me AUdntd COMMUNION.
GREESvnLE. q. c.. May 19.-The annual meetings Of
the various cotton mills In this section are about
over and they show unprecedented prohts. For in
stance. the American Spinning Company. capital
$4,000. shows net profit Of Ss7, ooo: the Pied.
mont mills. over 81 10 900: the Huguenot mills, Se3..
900. and others in like proportion. Now while these
profits seem large. the profit for the current year
will be much larger. Tho Poe mill. which made
S24. 900 for twelve months last year. is now making
$4,000 per month net.
This prosperity will add many spindles to the
mills OF the South. Already the stock for . $780,
900 mill at Anderson. s. c.. has been raised and
Col. James L. Orr. President OF the Piedmont mills,
will be President and Treasurer. A 25. ooo.spindle
mill will DO built at Bolton. 8. c.. and be nominRlly
in charge OF Capt. F. A. Smyth.
Possibly the easiest thing in the world to do now in
this section is to raise a half million dollars to build
. cotton mill. All OF them have paid good dividends
and there 10 all confidence in the future. certainly so
far as this year 10 concerned. There are other evil
dences Of prosperity as we'll as the thrift Of the cot
ton mills. Ono banking institution in this city has
voluntarily reduced its rate OF interest from 8 to
per cent. There are less farm loans than ever be-
fore IN the history Of the country.

clear that LUNA and Pho DEL PALAR have
not force enough to prevent us from going
wherever we please.
or recent developments in the islands one
OF the most gratifying is the welcome That
was given to KoBBE's expedition up the
Rio Grande, indicating that many Of the
natives are ready for American rule. 1t Is
also said that the Filipino Commissioners
were astonished at finding, after they
crossed our lines, SO many OF their country
men living c~ontentedly under our flag.
The consciousness that they cannot resist
our arms will probably be reinforced by
learning that there is nothing TO fear and
much to hope in yielding to them.

The Question Of Immortality.

On Sunday the Rev. Mr.. SAVAGE, a Uni
tartan minister OF New York, gave his
views OF the possible conditions OF life be-
yond death" They were that 1--WE carry
with us our personal consciousness and the
memory OF what we have been here and OF
the friends we have loved = that 1--WE shall
find ourselves greeted by our friends who
have gone before us :" that 1.-the people OF
the other life have bodies :" that 1.-The
thinker takes with him his power to think,
and that the ranges Of thought there are 50
vast as to seem almost impossible"
Now, from what basis OF fact does the
Rev. Mr.. SAVAGE draw these conclusions ?
How does he know that there is any future
life? What reason has he for his as
sumption that there Is such Il state Of
existence?
As a Unitarian he rejects all dogma and
relies on reason; but what authority for a
future life is there except dogma? Immor-
tally does not reveal itself to the simple
reason. 1t is unknown to human science
and undiscoverablc and undemonstrable
by it. Except in Scripture or tradi-
ton, made authoritative by religious
dogma, We have no basis for anything
more than a purely f%anciful, poetic
conception OF "a future life. No man, OF
himself, has ever been able to pry into the
mystery OF death. To the natural eye,
when q man is dead that is the end OF him.
His lead body is buried away to go into
noisome corruption. Only in the dogmatic
assertion Of the authority OF a revelation
from Con, OF a wholly supernatural com
munication. has anybody any ground for
assuming. as the Rev. NJ r.SAvAGE assumes
that the dead come to life again in another
state of existence and Mr.. SAVAGE, as n
Unitarian, rejects all dogma.
Coming from him, then, his sermon OF
last Sunday on the conditions OF life beyond
the grave was only u string OF fancies
by a mind confessedly without any at
tainable knowledge OF the subject and
without any faith in the dogma which is the
only authority men have or can have for
looking forward confidently to Il future life
as existing at all.

Sam Jones's Dream.

Mayor SAM JONES of Toledo, a Socialist
who has imagined himself to be a Republic
can, but who has denounced political par
ties as "hostile to free institutions and the
liberties Of the people" since the Republi-
cans Of Toledo have blighted his boom for
Governor, has had a lovely dream. Last
week he told it at the National Conference
of Charities and Corrections. He began by
assuming that "able-bodled men ever walk
the streets, alleys and highways Of our
country pleading for work" They ever
walk in Populist and Democratic platforms.
They walk in JONEs's vision. Now, why
should they walk? Why shouldn't they
have bicycles, electric cabs, victorias? Let
us have more wealth and less walking.
Whereupon JONES
"RusKIs says that the wealth OF q nation may be
estimated by the number Of happy people employed
in making useful things. Let us set the example of
q State made wealthy according to this lofty concep-
ton: in short, let us apply ourselves to the task OF
inausurating and perfecting q Just social system.
conceived and carried out upon scientific lines, and
poverty, crime. vice and human misery will he
things Of the past. and the prayer OF our LORD will
have been realized, and the kingdom OF heaven will
be set up here. and His will done on earth as In
heaven"
So this is the programme OF JONES at pres
ent; the abolition OF poverty, crime, vice
and human misery. All these he can afford
to have destroyed. But not humbug.
That would be self-destructlon.
The sun. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1833-1916, 1899-05-23

had already expressed opinions against re-
vision. The fact that such q defiance OF
equitable precedent could be sanctioned
In the teeth Of vehement protest by both
houses OF the French Parliament and by
the p~reponderant opinion Of a civilized peo-
pie, was regarded by most %onlookers as
proof that DREYFUs was doomed.
Absolutely nothing has since occurred to
modify the situation above outlined and to
dispel the mlsgivings thereon, except the
sudden ~interposition OF the mighty en-
CINE OF publicity. The Figaro, which
hitherto had pursued q vaclllating course
with relation to the Dreyfus affair, Sc
cured in some way u copy, the authenticity
whereof is not i%mpugned, OF all the evil
dence taken in the new investigation con-
Quoted by the whole Court OF Cessation.
Whether moved by sympathy for the
victim OF injustice, or keenly impressed
with tho valuo OF such news from
the viewpoint OF circulation, the Figaro
decided to print the testimony in
full, and has since given installments OF
1t from day TO day, finally summing up its
effect with the skill and cogency OF n prac-
ticed advocate. The practical result has
been that every intelligent man in Paris,
or, for that matter, throughout France, has
had the opportunity Of Judging for himself
whether DREYFUs was justly accused OF
betraying the secrets OF the army. The
French nation has been thus converted into
a vast jury, and the signs are that a major
ity Is now prepared to render a verdict OF
not guilty, and to approve cordially a judg-
ment to that effect on the part OF the Court
Of Cessation.
Assuming, as We 10Y seem justified in
assuming, that a majority OF the Court Of
Cessation will not meet the wishes OF the
anti-revisioi.sts, We are still in doubt as
to the precise 70 rm and purport OF their
judgment. Will the court simply de-
clare that the trial by court-martial was
irregular, and that, consequently, its SEN
tence must be set aside, but that DREYFUs
should be brought back to France and ar
raigned before a second military tribunal
II Is said that the form OF Nine. DREYFUS'S
petition unfortunately lends itself to such Il
decision, which involves, Il will be observed,
no explicit p~ronouncement regarding the
guilto OF the accused. Should the Courto Of Cas-
s%ation's decision be limited in the technical
wa! mere mulcateu, tneIe Wouiu w ho Gnu
Of the Dreyfus case in sight, for the injured
officer would not be satisfied with a pardon
Oh the part OF the Executive, unless this
were coupled with the restoration OF his
rank in the army. For the tranquility,
dignity and good repute OF the French peo-
pie, il is to be hoped hat the supreme tri-
bunal will render a decision on the merits
OF the case, and, p%roclaiming the innocence
OF DREYFUs. order such reparation as the
unfortunate victim OF a detestable conspir-
acy is now capable OF receiving.

Advice to q sufferer.

To THE EDITOR OF H SUN-Sir: Replying
to Dugald Bannatyne's letter in Sundays Sun
l wish to say the quickest and best way to cure
ones self OF suffering Is not to begin to talk
until one can say what he wishes to say. Wait.
This l know. not from practical experience.
but from being associated more or less with
those who have suffered. A young man /
knew practically cured himself In a few months
by this method OF procedure.
When he came In to report on some errand.
iphe could not talk without suffering. he
would stand before the one he was trying to
talk to and walt until he could. Sometimes he
would stand for Ave minutes without saying n
word and then he would say what he wished TO
say without suffering. Al. first there was
some hesitation between words. but in a short
think to hear him talk that he was erer q slut
tefer. Never mind what folks think, Mr.. Ban
natyne. II you find you are going 10 stutter.
wait until you can say without suffering what
you have a desire or 1t is necessary Tor you. to
speak out. H. Y. II.

An Out-and-Ou Plank.

According to the Columbus correspondent
Of the Cleveland Leader, whatever little diff
ferences and troubles there may be among
some OF the Republican politicians OF Ohio,
they are of one mind as to at least one
plank OF the platform to be adopted by the
Republican State Convention:
There is one thing on which all Republicans OF
every shade OF ~factional belief are agreed. Tho con,
vention must adopt an antitrust platform. Not q
milk and. water affair with no real meaning. but an
out aud ont plank with no ambiguous words and
meaning just what 1t says. Every man OF promi.
nence who has spoken In regard to this. including
State ofhcials and candidates.. has declared himself
positively in favor Of such a step. and with the
sentiment 30 unanimous. the yigor OF the plank
ought simply to be gagged by the ability OF the com.
mittee framing 1t to ind suitable words"
In spite OF the impotence OF the laws
against trusts, the disposition to declaim
against the latter in Legislatures and 20.
litical platforms continues at boiling point.
AS the trusts are not harmed and the
boilers are presumably assuaged by their
eloquence, perhaps there Is no solid ground
OF objection against their activity. The
Republicans reproved trusts In 1888 and
1892, and in 1895 the reproof seems to be
even more fashionable.
1t seems to us, however, that trust-bait-
ing should be entered upon very cautiously
by a conservative party like the Republi.
cans. Demagogy on all subjects relating
to property and business Is expected from

The Tunnel and the City.

Two weeks ago Mayor TASWYoK vetoed
o bill looking to the possibility OF private
capital building the underground road.
II was an act in the highest degree sus-
piclous, the Mayor avoiding any explana-
ton OF It. Nevertheless, the Rapid Transit
Commission submits without protest, and
asks the Mayor to start upon the plan Of
construction by the city. Their petition
denotes an astounding conception OF the re-
lation OF public enterprises TO each other.
Heretofore an impossible obstacle to the
city's embarkation upon this immense and
Unreasonable investment has been the con-
ptitutional limit upon the municipal debt.
With the creation Of Greater New York
this limit is broadened to the extent, the
Rapid Transit Commission maintains, that
the city debt can be enlarged by the amount
OF the cost OF the tunnel-that iS to say.
New York's increased power to improve
Itself in many directions, where improve
ment Is desired and where the city alone
can act, must be monopolized to build a
railroad. for which there Is no precedent
among the city's functions and for which
the natural supply OF means would be pri-
rate capital. Schools and Fast River bridges
and countless other improvements which
can be made by the city alone, and for
which there can be no substitute. must give
way to a transit system for which substi-
tutes abound and which can itself he OBJ
tanned in other ways.
There Is not a business mar in New York,
or even any member OF the Rapid Transit
Commission, who would apply this policy
70 his private affairs. The pressure for the
more rapid development OF the city will
always be greater than the city's resources
can satisfy. 1t would be strangely unwise
to concentrate them upon an underground
tunnel, OF which the cost, by common con-
Bent enormous, no man can ~foresee.
But what a remarkable condition Of affairs
It Is when the Rapid Transit Commission
Hbandons all effort to enlist private capital
and invokes the power Of Mayor VAN
WICK. whose undisputed master is Mr..
RICHARD CROKER, whose chief end in turn
in the pursuit Of political power is, by his
own statement upon the witness stand. to
make money for the pockets " himself and
friends.

solve to do nothing but spend money" may
have some good financial ideas. no matter how
~ingenuously he expresses them. His plan has
occurred to many other young men. but Is
seldom carried out, probably on account OF the
difficulty OF getting the money. There was hope
at one m that the Populists would succeed
in bringing about a per caplty" arrangement
by which everybody could know exactly how
much money he was entitled to and go and
spend II. But the flower Of Populist thought
seems to have withered. Even the passion for
poor money has abated. The great anti-work
movement has not been successful. and Gen.
CoxEY himself is one Of the most Industrious

President Feitner said yesterday that the
Tax Commissioner had not acted on the ap.
p~lication OF william Waldorf Aston to have his
personal property tax assessment OF Q.000.-
o vacated on the ground that he is a nom
resident. Asked when the board would pass
upon the matter formally. he said he could not
tell. He said that tho application would prob
ably be denied because Mr.. Aston had admitted
the jurisdiction of the Tax Commissioners by
appearing before them when sent for. Mr..
Aston made. an affidavit in England that he was
n nonresident. and It was presented tn Mr..
Feltner by Charles A. Peabody. Jr.. Mr.. Astor's
attorney In this city. Mr.. Feitner was not sat-
isfed with its contents and he sent for Mr..
Aston so that he could be cross-eXamined. Mr..
Aston answered the mmon by appearing In
person before President Feitner. and he was
questioned under oath by Assistant District
Attorney Ward. Afterward Mr.. Ward said that
in his opinion the assessment would have to be
vacated. Mr.. Feitner SAID the same thing and
reiterated the statement several times re-
Gently. Just what brought about this sudden
ctbnGe In his opinion Is not known. II the
Jan Commissioners refuse to vacate the as
Sessment Mr., Aston will have to go to the
