THE SOUTH A GIANTESS.

"The industrial outlook in the SOutl
is bright and propitious. 1t has out
grown suspicion and prejudice. As t
what it is and what it is to be, there /.
no longer any controversy or division
of opinion. The South is an uncOm.
monty broad and fertile field for en-.
terprise and investment Its resources
are marvelOusly rich and manifold
1t has wonderful waterways and sea-
ports which, in the strategy of trade,
are not surpassed anywhere. The
South has climatic advantages that
are conducive to uninterrupted indus
trial activity, hOspitable and generous
people, and in all that counts for the
higher ideals of civilizations it is not in
the second line.
"The South is today a mighty
giantess, once almost fatally asleep,
but now wide awake and vigorous.
The eager eyes Of the world are upon
the South.
at has been well said that there are
six good and substantial reasons why
the South must continue to grow and
develop. Here they are;
1.-THE ability to feed the population
plentifully and pleasurably.
"Ihe capacity of the soil for diversi-
fled agriculture.
"The manufacture of cotton, wool
and other fabrics.
Large deposits of superior coal.
'The ability to make cheap iron.
"Natural and acquired facilities for
reaching all the great markets of the
world. "-Aler. Helper.
Is it any wonder that the tide Is this
way? We of this section of Virginia
are entitled to full share, but to get it
we must invite it. Competition in this
as in other things is intense, and no
weakling wins in the fight.

A newspaper, published i'm the city
of Richmond said recently, in lead
ing editorial: "The intimation that
the gold Democrats as a body in Nir-
ginia are disposed to unite with the
Republican party is all nonsense. "
They have "done gone and done it,
once, and are only waiting for "A
chance to do again. And this:
We do not believe that it is good
thing for all the whites i'm theSOuthern
States TO be held together in one party
against their will because of the fear of
negro domination.
All of which is nonsense, pure and
simple If the wild theories of the
aforesaid newspaper had been put into
practice the South would long since
have been a desolation. We are often
startled at what we read i'm its columns,
and don't know but what it ought to
be boycotted by all who feel any inter

Secretary Roots second reply to a
Senate resolution, asking for detailed
report of receipts and expenditures
under our military government in
Cuba, was only little more satisfac-
Tory than the first. The details are
still lacking, but the report makes it
plain that the charge Of extravagant
expenditures i'm Cuba, is well founded
For instance, the civil salary list of the
Cuban government for last year, ex-
elusive of 81 $1,000 paid on what the
report calls the "labor pay roln was
81 $50, 557. Adding these totals togeth-
er and more than one-third of the total
receipts Sl6, 1000, O00-are shown to
have been paid out for civil salaries,
not to mention the cost Of the Military
Establishment, which is, of course,
paid 10y the L. S. Government. How
long could a political party remain in
control of one of our states which spent
one-third Of the states receipts for
salaries?
The Clark case has become badly
complicated Mr.. Clark resigned and
was appointed to iii the vacancy by
the acting Governor of Montana. Gov.
smith denounced that appointment rs
fraudulent aud appointed ex-Congress-
man Martin Maginnis. The vacancy
is likely to continue until the Montana
Legislature elects another Senator.
The Republicans in Congress are
afraid to adopt either of the resolutions
offered 10y Democrats in the Senate and
House for a Congressional investiga-
ton Of the Cuban stealings. The total
)f those stealiugs, already known, and
the number Of officials already impli-
'ated, makes the Republicans fear that
an investigation participated in by
lew fearless Democrats might trace
come of the stealings to Washington,
and implicate bigger officials than those
now known to have been IN the con-
ipiracy at the Cuban end Of the line.

WASHINGTON LETTER
From our Regular Correspondent.
WASHINGTON, May 81. I.

WASHINGTON, May 81, 1900.
Unless Mr.. Mckinley stopped hi
ears, he heard the enthusiastic cheers
given to the Boer ENJOYS and tn,
voices Of the Senators and Representa-
tives, who spoke in behalf Of the two
republics now engaged in a death
grapple with the worlds mightiesi
empire, to an audience which the
largest theatre i'm Washington would
not hold. The Speakers at that recep-
ton pointed out the fact that from all
over this country there was "A demand
that this government should save the
lives Of those little republics, which all
the world knows could be done by "a
word from Mr. Mckinley to the British
government, and yet that word re-
mains unspoken. Instead, the mouth
pieces of the administration are say
ing, "hush we know that England
intends to wipe out those republics,
but ii is none of our business; we have
promised to remain neutral and we
must not say wOrd.n A President
who is afraid Of England, is novelty
IN this country, and a decidedly un-
pleasant one too But the remedy lies
in the hands Of the people. Next No
vember they can elect a President
whose first act will be a dissolution of
the partnership between the greatest
republic and the worst grabbing
empire on earth, and if present signs
are not misleading, they will do it.
Hon. J. ID. Campau, Micbigau's
member Of the Democratic National
Committee, has been in Washington
to consult with Chairman Jones, on
the work of the campaign. He is con.
fident that Michigan will go Demo
cratic this year. Speaking Of the mat
ter, he said: Gwen the Republicans
IN Michigan admit that the Democrats
have reason to feel encouraged. The
opposition is in bad shape. The Re
publicans have given a very bad state
administration. 1t cannot all be laid
at the door Of Pingree, because the
legislature was as bad as the officers
he appointed If there was ever a
reason for turning the governing party
out, it exists in Michigan. It's not a
matter Of politics, bat Of common sense
with regard for the interests of the
State. The Democrats will have

SAMPSON WANTED HIM SHOT
CAPTAIN OF THE CRISToBAL
COLON, WHO SUNK HIS SHIP.
Had First Surrendered, Then He

Boston, Feb. 26.-Admiral Sampson to-
day positively denied the statement made

that the CriSt0bal Colon could have been
saved if the Amer can admiral had closed
her sea valves Admiral Sampson says:
The Cristobal Colon surrendered, ran
ashore and broke her sea valves. Her
captain afterwards came aboard the New

Colon was in good order. He took his
meals with me on board the New York

broken and could not be closed. I ac-

TALK BY JUDGE Richie
SPEAKS BEFORE AUDIENCE AT
METHODIST CHURCH.
Entertaining Lecture Attentively
Listened to By Good Audience
Last Night.

Judge NJ. L. Richie gave a short
talk on the Events and Character
istics of the Medieval Period of the
History of the Church" before the
Sociological society in the lecture room
of the First Methodist church last
evening, In part ne said:
The medieval stage of the history Of
the church began about the year 900
A. D., and lasted until the time of
Gregory VII about 400 years later
Cha1lemagne was the great figure Of
this time, and the effects Of his rule
which covered a much larger area than
that Of Napoleon the great, resulted in
much good, since he established schools
and universities and churches all over
his domain.
The great decline of the church dur
ing this period was chiefly due to the
uniting of the papal authorities and
state; but while the priesthood de1Aed
themselves, the great mass of COM
mon people remained firm in the right,
and were earnest, honest and sincere
Christians. During this time, also.
many of our modern institutions of the
church were inaugurated, such as the
first rough organs, primitive hymns,
bells and steeples"
These Monday evening meetings are
proving of much interest. They will
be discontinued until after the week of
revival services, when they will be
resumed and Mr.. Richie will continue
his discourse on the history of the
church.
