Paper Making in TIE South.

As the south has started on a grea;
career in cotton and iron manufacture
ing. which, until recent years was ex-
clus!yely In the hands Of northern man
ufactururs, that section is now turning
It's attention to a larger development in
paper making. As It all along grew
the cotton, there was nc. reason why i;
should not be manufactured into the
finished material near the field. This
IS now being done. So 1t is with paper
II only needs n moments reflection 70
see that the south is particularly rich
in all those forms Of vegetation which
furnish fibre which enter into the man
ufacture OF paper. such as seed fibres,
as cotton. which is the only representa-
tive OF its class; bast fbres, as linen,
jute, manila, etc; those derived from
stems or leaves, as straw, esparto, sor-
ghum, bamboo and cornstalk. and thosa
derived from wood. The production OF
cotton is confined to the southern
states; hemp. jute and similar plants
abound in many Of them, whereas straw
and sugar cane. etc, are obtainabls IN
vast quantities. But 1t is especially in
the extent and variety Of its woods thar
the south is rich. Professor Sargent,
in the Tenth Census Of the United
States, gives 4 list OF woods which are
suitable for paper making. most OF
which have been used on some scale, de-
pending UPON t&e relative cost and
other commercial factors. This list in
cludes almost all the woods grown in
the south and of which all predominant
in West Virginia
1t may not be generally known thas
the south is the best forest section OF
the country. but 1t is true. as over one
third OF the wooded area OF the land il
to be found in fourteen of the southern
states. The percentage Of the wooded
area OF land in West Virginia is 70. or
a total OF 1890 square miles, out of n
total state area OF 4 little over $1,000
square miles. Only one other southern
state exceeds the showing made by
West Virginia, and that is Arkansas,
whose percentage is 81. These wonder
full resources for paper max
ing have attracted the at-
tentlon Of the Association OF Southern
Newspaper Publishers, which has la-
,rrlsted itself in the matter and Is do

Tbecouncll committee. which did such
good work in turning down the apple
atoms of certain saloon keepers for a
renewal OF their licenses will be called
ON to again consider these applications
on Monday evening, through a mandate
of council giving these applicants an
other hearing. 1t was a piece Of folly
on the part of council. after endorsing
the committees recommendations, 10

pllcants. the character OF whose places
OF business is so well known. Moth
inG can be brought before the commit
tee that will be new to them, II the
truth be told. The InteliigenceT has
every confidence in the committee that
they will stand by their former deci-
sion. They must do SO II they would
hope to win the appreciation Of every
citizen. irrespective OF party, whose
good opinion is worth having.
That there will be pressure brought
to bear on the committee. and that GER
tain influences will be used 10 Nitlate
the former recommendations OF that
body goes without saying. but 1t is a
selfish interest that the committee can
well AFFORD to ignore, and we believe
they will rise TO their plain duty in spite
OF these baneful influences.
The srecious plea that the city can
not well afford tn lose the revenue that
these notorious places would cover into
the treasury cannot prevail with de-
cent citizens. When the city Of Wheel
ing is compelled to obtain It's revenues
through such channels. then has 1t fall
en- low. indeed. It IS not a question OF
revenue. but Of the highest morality; it
is not, in fact, a question FOR debate,
but for action, and that action has al
ready been sharply defined.

Practical education is the best educa-

A. Impudent Anarchist.


Tha; vocabularius anarchist, John r.
Altgeld. delivered vicious tirI1e
against the country and its Institutions
at Albany the other night that would
have made Herr Most green with envy.
He stood for the Democratic party as it
is at present constituted through The
patronage Of such men as Bryan and
the agitator himself who was the main
fundamentally in framing the most
vicious portions OF the Chicago platform
outside Of the f1llacIous announcement
on the free coinage Of silver.
Mr. Altgeld in mis- Albany utt2rancs $,
read out Of the party all those decent
Democrats who objected TO Bryan iu
1856. and who still diner with him On
the silver question. Here Is what h
said:
Il hear some good men say. Why
could not Bryan consent to modify some
features Of the Chicago platform so tina.
we could ali unite and then we could
win?
MY friends, you have simply read
the newspapers and have NOT studied
the conditions. You have not heard tha
earnest heartbeats OF our people.
THE moment Mr., Bryan consents to
modify the Chicago platform in uny
particular, that moment he is de-
stroyed.
He would at once sink to the level OF
the ordinary politician, who was trim
ming his sails to catch votes.
He would at once cease 70 be the Idol

would despise him for his weakness"

In poisoning with prussic acid. the
whole body Is dead before the heart
ceases TO beat. but this is the only eX-
ception to the rule. the reverse being
true in all other cases. However great
. the fear OF death. there is abundant
reason to believe 1t painless in nearly
every imaginable form. Consciousness
ceases before the heart stops. In n IA
tai gun-shot wound the action OF the
bullet is more rapid than the message
to the brain announcing II. and there is
consequently no pain. Death by burn
ing is early made painless by suffoca-
ton, which also relieves before death
the distress OF many who die from dis
ease. In acute faverish disease, bacter-
ial poison brings on depression. apathy
and Indifference, and death is free from
both dread and pain.
