THE MILLS CLOSE DOWN.
To Force Prices Up Richmond Store
Interfercs.

It's barely possible that the masses
appreciate the recent announcement
throughout the metropolitan press, that
the various Fabric Mills would close their
doors for an indefinite period OF time
The auspicious outlook and VGlumlnous
predictions for i great ana prosperous
season induced the mill-OWnerS 10 MAKE
preparations for the good time 10 come.
Mills were worked overtime, and all the
facilities of the vast mill properties We're
enlarged or otherwise improved. Every
body knows that these rosy expectations
were not realized, and just to the con-
trary Fabric goods have never been SO
low priced as now. 1t is a weli-knoWn
fact that all the large mills have gen
eral nding by which they are
enabled to meet or evade every exigency
that is calculated to cause any deprecia-
ton in prices. It is the unexpected that
always happens. and to this fact the
public owes the length their money will
go in the purchase Of goods. Inc 11rSt
setback to the regular state of affairs
was the lateness of Easter. that caused
the tremendous stocks to impress their
makers with the true and serious con-
dftions prevailing. What followed might be
turned a stampede. One man cut his
prices and Immediately his entire pro-
duct was taken up by the retailers ana
iobbers It is to be assumed that each
maker thought the others would hhloau
at a. sacrifice. and a general stampede was
the result The Meyer Store of this city,
with some foresight. sent out their buy
ers to all four points of the compass ana
the result is a great collection of Ameri-
,,an-made goods Put alongside the
stores tremendous stocks these goods
make one vast array of merchandise. or
to put it more aptly. a grand Interstate
Exposition Sale. A sale OF such tremen-
dous proportions as this. beyond question
of contradiction, stamps The Meyer Store
as the greatest retail establishment IN the
entire South This sale is of special I'M
MORT coming as it does simultaneous
with the announcement that the large
mills would shut down. Twenty-follr
hours after the closing Of the mills, prices
will begin to climb. The Meyer Stores
doors are open promptly at S A. Al. to-
morrow.

Foresight and nin,o,nacy.

From the day when the Witch of En-
dor stopped lifting the veil of the future
there have been very few people who
can see what is to come with any great
certainty, especially in matters political
Prophecy is one thing. preparing for fore
seen events is another, and lying between
these opposite points are foreseeable events
TO guard against while the governments
pay their ministers
In the newspapers recently there was
statement that Lord Granville refused
when in Mr.. Gladstones cabinet,aato pur-
chase Portuguese East Africa, when Of
fered to him at 12,004 pounds, because that
the price was too high. Then Britain and
the Transvaal were a peace. nor was there
any likelihood of hostilities breaking out.
And so Lord Granville let the golden
chance slip through his fingers. Lorenzo.
Marques and Delagoa Bay remained Por-
tuguese, and 1900 pounds remained in the
British treasury, which otherwise would
have been put into circulation by the
King OF Portugal in Paris or in Ostend.
Ina CINE for one moment what it would
have meant to Great Britain in the recent
war with the Transvaal to have had
port as near the base of operations as
Della goa Bay Thousands and hundreds of
thousands Of pounds would have been saw
ed, the loss of life and misery caused by
the long march across the hot Veldt
would have been vastly decreased, 'he
settlement Of the argument that both par
ties had carried into the court of war would
have been greatly shortened, and humanity
and civilization would have received the
benefits that come from a lessening of the
horrors Of war and its attendant suffer-
ings.
Lord Granville did not see this and for
his lack OF foresight Lord Beaconsfield
said he should have been impeached No
body impeached him or paid much atten-
ton to Lord Beaconsfield'S remarks. be-
cause Lord Granville was one of Glad
stones ministers and Beaconsheld was
Gladstones greatest opponent, but the
event has justified Beaconsfield's state
ment and if lack of foresight is ever
ground for Impeachment, Lord Granville
has amply deserved the worst at the
hands of his countrNnen. Diplomacy and
the guidance of the foreign policy of
nation require exactly that foresight for
contingencies that was lacking in Lord
Granville. The quality so needed is a sort
of superhuman prescence that can neither
be learned nor taught. Like cooks and
poets. great statesmen are born, not made.
Washington showed this farseeing intel
iigence in his government Of the navy
during his administration. His first care
was to see that our ships We're all little
bigger, little faster, little better arm
ed and manned than the British vessels in
the same class. The vessels OF both ma
tons were manned by men of the same
blood and breed, and yet the slight phys-
cal advantages that Washington's fore
sight gave the American vessels were
enough to make the old Constitution a
terror to British ships.
It was the foresight of Washington that
saved a struggling young nation many
defeats at sea. It was the blindness of
Granville that cost Great Britain the ar
doris Of the march from Cape Town to
Pretoria.
