A Proposed Exposition at Charleston.

l ne people OF charleston are pro.
posing to organize an exposition to
be held in that city in the winter of
l99l-2, their aim being to make it IL
broad and representative exposition
of the resources and development of
the South The plan which has
been outlined is comprehensive one
well worthy OF the most liberal en-
couragcment on the part of the en-
tire South.
Charleston is one of the old cities
of the South-a city of great wealth,
OF many attractions, and yet one
which has be en- generally accounted
as non-progrcssivc, though this is GER
tainly not true Of Charleston of late
years.
a great exposition in Charleston
would in itself, 10y showing to the
world the awakened energy and
virility of the business interests of
that city, create a widespread inter
est throughout thccountry in the
South. The businesspeoplc of the
United States are beginning to accept
the fact that in the mineral districts
and in the cotton manufacturing cen
tcrs Of the Piedmont region there is
great energy and increasing pros
pcrity, but they have not yet come
to fully realize that the whole South
Is sharing IN this, and therefore an
exposition in Charleston would be a
tangible illustration of what has al.
ready been accomplished for the re-
juvcnation Of the whole South.
Since the New Orleans Exposition of
many years ago there has been no
Southern exposition at any seaboard
city. We have had cxpositions at
Atlanta and at Nashville, which
have been OF very great value to the
South, and the time now seems cs-
pecially ripe for a great exposition
one which will be credit to the
whole South-at such a point as
Charleston.
In itself Charleston is a center of
attraction. 1t has its own peculiar
charms it will draw thousands of
visitors who possibly would not at
tend IN exposition in any other
place in the South its historical as
soc'atlons, its delightful winter eli
mate, ~ ncarncss to the North as
compared with the Gulf ports, would
all make it an attractive drawing
point for visitors from the North.
The Manufacturers Record in
heartily commenting what has al
ready been accomplished in the pre-
hmlnary work, would express the
hope that this exposition may be
planned on such a broad scale and so
ably managed as to insure the heart
icSt operation Of every trade or
ganizatlon and OF every business en-
tcrprisc in the South. It's prc.cmi-
ncnt success as an exhibit of South
crn resources and of Southern ac-
compllshments would mark as dis
tlhctivc an epoch in the upbuilng
Of the South AZ did the Atlanta Ex.
position OF 1881, from which we may
date the first general understanding
which the North ever had of the
South and its possibilities Manu-

a Norman Precedent for Lynchng Remedy

In his suggestion that any county
in which lynching occurs be liable
for damages, Governor Longino, OF
Mississippi, doubtless Willingly re-
vcrted to the old law to the same ci-
feet which was found necessary in
the time of William the Conoucror,
the first Norman King of England.
1t will be recalled by those acquain-
ted with the simple facts Of English
history that after the Norman con
quest the conquered people for Il
long while entertained no good will
to their conquerors, and as result

of French extraction became cmbar-
rassingly frequent. The remedy
proposed and adopted was to make
every hundred, or county division,

Memorial Library at Manila.

Americans are invited to contribute
to praiseworthy project for estab-

at Manila for the use of the soldiers.
Some months ago Mrs. C. r. Green
leaf, wife of Col. Greenleaf, succeeded
in opening free library with about
1000 miscellaneous and more or less
soiled volumes. The eager way in
which the soldiers at Manila have
availed themselves of the privileges of
this library and reading-room makes
it more than ever desirable that the
enterprise should not languish.

About the Monroe Doctrine
The declaration in the republican plat

is manifestly insincere and deceptive.
This profession is contradicted by the
avowed policy of that party in opposi-

to acquire and hold sovereignty over large
people in the eastern hemisphere.
We insist on the strict maintenance
of the Monroe doctrine and in all its
integrity, both in letter and in spirit. as
