called "electrographs" and are consider
cd of great value III the future knowledge
of electricity. 1t is we'll known that a
person struck by lightning bears an i'm
preston resembling Il tree. The electro
graph has proved that this is because
lightning itself has a tree-like shape,
which always leaves a vivid impression
wherever it strikes. In this respect it is
similar to the famous med cln1--Hostet-

its impression-that Of health-upon

Il list Of twenty eight graduates Of the
Piedmont Mills who are filing positions
as superintendent III various Southern
mills. What these and others had done
he told the young nen present that they
would be called upon to do, and added
that energy, character and intelligence
were all that is needed for them to fill
such positions with credit to themselves
and their country The advice was eX-
cellent, but this illustration of the har
moniOus relations of Southern employers

ought not fail to impress persons
whose ignorance of Southern, conditions

About twelve months ago the Sun ehronieed

Bangkok in Siam. to q powerful German syndi-
cate. The steamers were eleven in number and
represented SO per cent Of the British shipping
at Bangkok. That transaction was serious
blow to British prestige in that part OF the world
at the time, but another and even more severe
blow has iust been struck by the passing Of the
whole fleet OF tho Scottish Oriental Steamship
company, comprising fourteen vessels, which
constitutes the only regular service between
Hong Kong and Chinese ports and Bangkok, to
the Norddeutscher Lloyd Steamship company.
Thus both regular lines connecting Bangkok with
the British colonies Of Hong Kong and Singapore,
which last year had over 70 per cent. OF the
total Bangkok trade, hsvo passed under the
German flag.
The negotiation. were conducted with such
secrecy in both cases that nothing was known
until the transactions were completed. The Ell.

N VIEW of the Democratic deter
mination to yellow journalize the
= public mind by gross exaggera-
tions respecting the condition of
affairs in Cuba, intelligent men will do
well to discount mere vague assertions
Of American wrong-doing in that island
and demand the production of the ex-
act facts. 1t is we'll that congress by
Independent action in both branches
ana without a dissenting vote has
directed that a thorough investigation
be made. This does not signify that
tho Republican majority in congress
discrusts the executive department; it's
meaning is that the administration has
nothing to conceal.
During the congressional debates of
the past few days the accusation has
BEEN repeated on the Democratic side
thnt Cuba is overrun with American
offceholders, "carpetbaggers' seeking
whom they may devour. Every varia-
ton Of contemptuous epithet and ad-
jective that partisan ingenuity could
derise has been applied to discreditins
in Cuba; and in the absence of new
fact accusative rumor has been put into
circulation, growing amazingly as 1t
went. 1t was not enough that group
of officials in one branch of the ad-
ministrative service, highly indorsed
and believed to be trustworthy, had
betrayed the confidence reposed in
them to the shame of every honest
man, their official superiors most Of
all; Democratic eXigency needed more
carrion to feed on, hence the slander
batteries were called into use and from
the postal service, where frauds are
admitted and being probed the broad
sides of defamation were turned on the
cuntoms service, on the departments Of
public works and on other officials,
against whose integrity not a fact has
bern produced. The purpose has been,
not to contribute to the furtherance Of
JuDtice and the redemption Of the ma
tional self-respect from the stain put
upDn it by defaulting subordinates but
to throw mud at the president and his
party: and in the execution Of this
purpose the innocent are not separated
from the guilty, but all Americans Of
hiGh and low degree are held up for
exhibition before the world as trust
breakers and rascals.
