In 1870 the center Of population was

neighborhood OF Cincinnati and In
1890. the year of the last national CEN

The Slogan for 1900. ,

We fully agree with the Richmond
Times in its editorial yesterday on the
DetArmond declara tion-that it Is for
the Republic and against the Empire.
We belive that would be very striking
and taking battle cry for the party in the
next campaign. We of the South can
add that we are for the Democratic party
beca use it is now, and always has been,
the friend of the South Thn one IS =
National party: the other is sectional.
Take for instance, the only Democratic
President since the war. In his Cabinet
there were men from every section of the
country. In MckinIey's Cabinet there is
no representative from the South. No
one around his council board can speak
for that section. When the war with
S0ain was declared. the sons of the
NSouth responded with alacrity and pa
trictic ardor. yet it really had no repre-
sentative in the executive branch of the
government. We deny that the South is
in any sense or in any way against the
preservation or perpetuation of this Re
public. Her men are loyal and stand cve..
ready to defend its honor or it's interest
wherever or whenever assaulted or as
sailed. but its solidity is combined against
the Republican party because that party
has always sought to do 1t hurt and
harm. And the first and foremost act
in this harm doing was when that party
gave to the coorcd men the right TO
vote. This was done not for the love Of
the black man. but to hunlilate the
South and to make it solidly Republican
as it was then thought it would do. The
test oath. klu-klux. force bill and all kin
dred legislation was for the like purpose,
and hut for the conditions that confront
that party to-day, it would revive the lcgis-
laton of reconstruction days-la: the vials
OF its wrath on us to-day. We are for
our homes; hence we are for the Demo-
cratic Observation-Disclosures burg Star

TIRE CARNEGIE EXHIBIT.

The disclosures made by H. C.. F'rick in
the suit he has begun against Andrew
Carnegie, of the profits which the Carnegie
Company has been making and expects 10
make, produced an almost Supplying
effect upoI: the public mind Frick ayers
that in the year just ended the company
made twenty-onc millions of dollars, and
that in the year we have just entered on
Mr.. Carnegie estimates the company's
profits at forty Millions While he esti
mates them at forly-two millions. These
figures simply staggcr the public. Nothing
like them has ever been heard of in the
history of the world and their tendency.
in many minds, is to raise the enquiry
whether the time has not come for the
hand of the legislative power to intervene
nous profits.
But that is a most erroneous view to
take of the case. Andrew Carnegie is by
no means an old man. He is. i'll fact. in
the prime of life. Forty years ago there
were no Carnegie works and the places
that now hum with the industries he has
created were barren wastes He has in
dividually and solely Except as he has
been aided by those he took into his en-
nloyment) designed and created the man.
moth establishments that he controls. and
they are tributes to his genius, enterprise.
energy and thrift. When he was creating
them the public held out to him the ass'!r-
ance that if he would develop great in
dustrcs he should be protected in the en-
joyment of whatever they could bring
him. ard TO interfere with him now, sim
ply because his enterprises lring him
greater returns than were ever antici-
pated, would be spoliation and robbery,
pure and simple. i is the glory OF our
free institutions that citizen couid
create such gigantic enterprises because
they accorded him perfect freedom anu
absolute justice. SO that instead OF point
ing TO them as objects of envy and cupid
ity. we should all point TO them as the
most honorable monuments to our en-
lish,ened freedom and cherished institu-
tons
With these works of Carnegie showing
the profits that exist in iron When
handled intelligently and with skill, it is
one of the most wonderful things in the
world that the Virginia people allow their
own iron resources to lie practically dead
without any effort upon their part to
reap the rich harvest theytwould yield if
intelligently worked.
In the district around Clifton Forge, In
Allegheny county. the very best iron that
is made anywhere can be made. and it
can be made cheaper than at any other
place in the world. We have seen the
record Of one OF the furnaces near Cliff
ton Forge for the year 1897. and its iron
for that year averaged s4s per ton of
cost. There is no other place in the world
where such a thing can be done, so that
the profits In making and working up iron
In that district exceed anything Of the
same sort in any other quarter of the
earth. II, therefore, Virginians would ex-
ert themselves instead of3envying cayns-

Sunshine Lnn6.

They came in sight of a lovely shore,

The suns own color at noon it wore,
And had faded not at the fall of night;
Clear weather or cloudy-it was all as one,

It's secret the sailors could not understand,
Eut they called the country Sunshine

What was the secret? A simple thing

So many, so many, so small and bright,
They covered the hills With mantle of

And the wild bee hun1med, and the glad

Through the Ehoneyed fields Of Sunshine

If over the sea We two were bound,
What port dear child. would we choose

We would sal, and sail till at last we
