PROGRESS OF THE SOUTH.
Twenty Years Have Shown a Re-
mnrlabIe Industrial Growth
Down in Dixie.

The industrial progress of the south
during the past 20 years is shown in n
late issue of the Manufacturers Rec
ord, from which it appears that the low
price of cotton has had the effect of
stimulating the output of other farm
products. In the past ten years the
production of wheat has increased "a
per cent. in the south, and the num-
ber of hogs raised there has during
that period nearly doubled. Seventy
two varieties of field crops are now
grown where there formerly was moth
ing but cotton, and 65 varieties of
vegetables, fruits and melons are
raised in the south for markets in the
north. While five years ago the cot
ton mills in the south consumed but
100000 bales of cotton, their consump-
tion now amounts to nearly 100000
bales in the $50 mills, with 4,952, ,092
spindles and 104, ,446 looms. The num-
ber of mills has increased 206, that of
spindles and looms GAO per cent.
The finest blankets made in the coup-
try are now manufactured in North
Carolina, where 104 wooden mills are
in operation. The finest grade of wool
can be grown in the south almost us
cheaply as cotton. Two decades ago
the south produced annually but 6,00O,-
600 tons of bituminous coal; that prod
uct has now passed the 4O,OOO,OOO mark,
and OF the 47,OCO square miles of coal
fields in the south only about 1000
are under development. While two
decades ago less than 100000 tons of
iron were produced, that production
has now grown to 100000 tons of
very superior article. And the iron in
dustry in the south is as yet In it's in
fancy. There are enormous iron ore
deposits in different parts of that Sec
tion of the country which have thus
far not been touched at all. This is but
short summary of the progress made
In the south during the past 20 years,
but il suflices to indicate the possibili-
ties of that part of the country and
what is in store for it in the future,
since it is no longer limited to cot
ton.-Denver Post.

Rice Culture in Artificial, sw.mn..

A new American wrinkle is the cul-
ture of rice in artificial swamps, the in
vention of some northwestern farmers
settled in Louisiana. They build bank
around section of prairie and pumped
water into the inclosure from arteSian
wells. When the crop natures the
water is let out, the ground dried off,
and reapers and binders secure the
harvest at greatly reduced cost. The
land is easily prepared for the next sea-
son, and there is no danger from
drought.-Chicago Chronicle.

many last summer. and now Mr. PlAtt's Legis-
lature is being used to defeat the bill to place
the people OF this city on equal basis with
private spectators in the simple matter Of ac-
quiring water rights. Does Governor Roose-
welt entertain the least doubt In his heart about
the. nature OF this conspiracy or about the pur-
poses of Mr.. Nixon, Mr.. Aids and Mr. Kelsey
in burying Mr.. Morgan's bill? Are not the cir
cumstances of the job and the persons of the
jobbers at every stage Of the proceeding too
clear 10 be ignored?
Let there be no delusion about the adequacy
| of the Fallows bill as a protection against Ram
apo 1t is an excellent measure to meet one
phase Of the difficulty. But supposing next
summer the Water Department should create
famine Scare-and 1t could do it. 1t could ma
nlpulate the supply so that the people of New
York would get up and demand more water
from any source, public or private. on any OBJ
tainable terms Then Tammany would find it
self under the necessity of contracting with the
Ramapo company, which by act of the Republi-
can Legislature had a monopoly of the States
watersheds. Mr. Platt's Lauterbach would glide
into the City Hall with his contract, and the
Controller would have 10 yield or take the re-
sponsibility of keeping New York thirsty. Few
men. even If they did think the scheme steal,
would dare to stop the only possible provision
for additional water in face of the famine
figures Tammany could produce.
The possibility of the Controllers sudden
death or the postponement Of the job till he is
out of office must also be considered SO long
as the Ramapo company has a monopoly of
available water and the city can only obtain it
through contract with that company, the holdup
engineered so carefully by Mr.. Platt. Mr.. Nixon,
MIR. Lauterbach and the rest through so many
years remains serious menace to this city.
Therefore the attempt of Mr.. PIatt's organi-
zation TO preserve the Ramapo monopoly
and withhold from New-Yorl the same right of
condemnation possessed by this private COM
pany is plainly scandalous. Governor Roose-
welt cannot afford to consent to any such petit
Jogging. New-York must be free. Anything
short of that is moclery In this ease it is i'm

much more than double the extent and impor-
tance of the German colonial empire. There is,
in fact, nothing more desirable, from the Ger
man point of view, than such Incorporation OF
Holland into the empire. But hitherto Holland
has manifested not only no desire for such
change, but a decided repugnance to 1t. In no
country is love of independence more strong.
There is scarcely a Dutchman who would not
rather have Holland remain Independent, though
one of the smallest States in Europe. than to
have it merged into one of the greatest empires
and thus lose its individuality, as Bavaria and
Wurtemburg have lost theirs. That feeling is
shared fully by the royal family. 1t was the
ruling motive of the late Kings life, and seems
not less strong IN the present young Queen.
But the present war has been adrotly used by
the Pan -Germanic propa gandists to draw Hol-
land toward at least alliance with Germany.
British antagonism toward the TranSvaal Beers
has been distorted into antipathy toward the
whole Dutch race. Conversely, German sympa-
thy with "OOm Paul has been exploited as sig
nificant of German affection for the Neither
lands The Hoanders have been told innumer-
able times, in every varying accent, that God
Inns the friend, not Short" They have Deen
told in the most plausible and persuasive man
ner that England's subversion of the Boer
States is meant 10 be merely the prelude to
similar assault upon Holland herself, and that
the only way In which the latter can assure her
self Of salvation from such fate is in throwing
herself into the shetering arms of the German
Empire
All such plots and counterplots would be a
matter of entire Indifference to the United States
were it not for the fact that the incorporation OF
Holland into the German Empire would make a
corresponding change in the character OF some
Of this country's near neighbors. 1t would make
the great island empire just south of the Philip
pine group German instead of Dutch. Far more
important is the fact that it would make Ger
many what she is not now, an American Power,
with both insular and continental possessions in
the Western Hemisphere For the moment Hol-
land entered the empire the imperial flag would
be raised above Surinam and Curacao and st.
Eustatus. and the German Emperor would
claim by right voice in the direction of Ameri-
can affairs That would assuredy be a mat
ter of profound interest to this country. We do
not say it would be an unwelcome or an often
sve change. The United States and Germany
are getting on very well as neighbOrS in Samoa.
But this would be a far more important proxim-
ity than that 1t would mean German territory
within hundred and fifty miles of Puerto Rico
and a German fortress and naval station nearer
to the Nicaragua Canal than any such station OF
the United States. Whatever may be the feel
ing of the United States toward such an ar
it is just about time TO realize that the consum
nation of such an arrangement has come within
the limits OF practical consideration.

THE PAN-GERMANIC MOVEMENT.

An interesting by-product of the South Afri-
can war, and one of special significance to this
country is the decided FLIP which has been
given to the Pan-Germanic movement particu-
larly in respect to Holland. No secret has been
made of this movement and its aims for years
past Its literature chiefly emanating from
Gotha, has long been familiar to all who have
cared to read il, and its maps manufactured by
the million for distribution at merely nominal
price, have become better known TO many than
is the real map Of Europe. These maps purport
to show by colors the parts of Europe that
should be included in the German Empire, but.
like all such-potably the Pan-Slavic mars Of a
few years ago-they largely imaginative
Thus, they indicate as German not only all Of
Holland and the bulk Of Austria. but the major
part OF Belgium and the whole Of Scandinavia
II such principles were generally adopted the
map of the world would indeed be remade.
1t is well known that Germany-not only the
Pan-Germanic League, but the Government and
the Court--has for some time regarded Holland
as n particularly desirable addition TO the en-
pire. Such an acquisition would make the
Rhine German TO its mouth: II would vastly in
crease and improve the sea frontage of the en-
pire it would add greatly to the commerce and
industry OF Germany, and 1t would at stroke
