Home Journal. But there are other
difficulties, and they may be men
toned in a spirit of becoming humil'
ity. For one thing, the organist is an
artist, and every artist has a nature
Of special refinement which cannot
bear the rough-and-tumble ordinary
methods of life. With a man of
common clay you deal in a practical,
straightforward and even brutal
fashion, arguing with him, complain
ing to him, and putting him right
when he is wrong. But no man must
handle precious porcelain in such fash
ion, or the artist will be instantly
wounded and will resign and carry his
pathetic story to every quarter, for,
as rule, the organist thinks that he
is lifted above criticism and public
opinion. 1t is impossible to teach
him anything; it is an insult to sup
pose that anything could be better
than the music he provides.

BRYAN AND THE DEMOCRATS.
The Relations of.the Two Offer Strange
Political Phenomenon.
St. Louis Globe. Democrat (Rep.ll .

St. Louis Globe Democrat (Rep.0 -.
Here is man who not only led. his
party four years ago, but who ls tolerably
certain to lead it this year, though not
with such adroitness as he displayed then.
Yet outside of few States in the West
and South the real leaders in his party are
Displaying good deal.of shyness about
associating with him on public occasions:
He still draws large crowds. Curiosity is
strongly developed among the masses OF
the people. The average man is curious to
see the candidate who was beaten 50 badly
four years ago, and who stands chance
to he beaten by much greater majority
this year.
Seldom does man who showed himself
so weak at the polls as Bryan did in 1895
get Il second nomination from the same
party for the same office. as he is reason
ably:sure to dosthis year. A man who can
hoodwnk great party as he is doing at
this moment has necessarily some qualities
which make him an object Of considerable
curiosity to the average persons among
his fellow citizens. Thus Bryan will con-
tinue to draw crowds until the polls close
on election day next November, but the
ruling spirits in his party will not be in the
crowds which gather to look at him.
The hold which Bryan manages to re-
tain on the rank and file Of one element Of
his party, Notwithstanding the fact that
eyety sane, persSn inthat party sees over'
wheiming defeat for him at the polls THE
wear, is one of the marvels of politics.: 1t
is a'sort of fatalism which is supposed to
be foreign to the American character.
Though his overthrow and that of his
party are-seen by the astute members of
it to be as certain to'conle as is election
day, yet there is no movement to defeat
him in the convention. If the convention
were to meet tomorrow he would probably
get he.entire vote of the delegates. There
is no good reason to suppose that he will
be any weaker two or three months hence
when the convention meets.
Men who are as sure that he will be
crushingly defeated in November as they
are that the sun will rise tomorrow will
cast their votes for him in the convention.
The entire Democratic party seems to be
hypnotized into cowardice which pre-
vents it from raising hand to keep him
from the nomination, though that will
mean, as all sensible Democrats are aware,
disastrous defeat for their party. The
abject fear with which Bryan has inspired
the Democratic party workers and bosses
isoile Of the strangest of the political
phenomena Of the time.

During his period of service British

other Democratic papers in Virginia made
favorable mention of Mr.. Randolph Gug-

of New York. On Wednesday of last

suffrage in Cuba is an intensely interesting
enc. Whatever is done favorable to one
element is certain to be sntagonizec by the
other element. The prosperity OF the
island will depend solely on the. protection
afforded human life and property and I'M
interrupted agricultural and commercial
progress If, as is the case in a number of
the Latin-American republics, an election
is to become synonymous with revolution
the future condition of the island will be
as unhappy as its past. The question of
suffrage, therefore, is all.important, and
the development and decision of the issue
will be watched with interest.

INDUSTRIAL ADVANCE IN THE SOUTH.

A recent. editorial in the Atlanta Jour-
nal in speaking of the present industrial
conditions at the South and the probable
future Developments says:
at is certain that the present year. will
witness a great industrial advance in the
South. New industries are springing up
in every part of the South. Her vast
material resources are being developed
more fully every year, and there is prac-
tically no limit to her progress in many
lines of production. The New York Jour-
nal of Commerce, an excellent authority,
states that the amount of money invested
in cotton mills in the South last year
reached $33, OOO, 900, which, it adds, is a
very large sum of money. While some of
the enterprises may not materialize. the
great bulk of them will be pushed to COM
pletion. While the money invested rep
resents to some extent Northern capital,

hv far the bulk Of ills local capital, which

by far the Dulk QI ~ il local Capltn's Npi0n
shove that the South Is making commend
able progress in the accumulation OF
wealth, while profits likely to accrue from
these new investments will still further
add to the Souths income,
1--WE believe that more money will be
invested in cotton mills in the South this
year than was put into such enterprises
last year. Movements for the constr1ic'
ton of many mills are now in progress in
almost every part of Georgia, and similar
activity is evident id almost every other
Southern State. Fhe development OF
iron, coal, copper, gold and other MINER
al properties, in which the South is inn
nensely rich, has only fairly begun.
Many millions were invested in such en-.
terprises last year, and there will proba'
Div be an even greater amount this year.
The next twelve months will surely add
vastly to the.wealth zof the South, and
give even better assurance of the future
greatness and prosperity of this section.
All which goes to show that the South
lie fortunate in not being forced to live I'M
der the industrial policy it votes for.
Does any reasonable man believe these
splendid industrial conditions would now
be prevailing at the South. If Bryan and
his party had secured control of the Gov
eminent at the election of 1895?

PREDICTIONS COMING TRUE.
Boston. Journal (Rep)l

Boston. Journal Rep)l
Ten years and more ago, when the Jour
nal began its advocacy of American ships
for Arnerican mails and American trade,
these columns predicted that the first wal
in which Great Britain was engaged would
cost our people heavily in the demoraliza-
ton of our ocean mail service and the dis
location of our ocean carrying. This is a
little war with the Boers-a very little one
but already it abundantly confirms the
Journals prophecy. Our correspondent
and other American business men, whose
interests are suffering, are now in a posi-.
ton to understand why President McKin-
ley puts second in urgency only to the
currency bill the bill of Senator FRYE, OF
Maine, which aims 10 get more American
ships aAoat, and to. aid our country to
carry Its own mails and is. own commerce,
free from. interruption by the extravagant
protectionism Of Great Britain or by Euro
pean feuds and distant wars

PROSPERITY IN SOUTHWEST.

General Ayers, ex-Attorney General
Of Virginia, was recently at Bristol, and,
speaking of the development that is going
on in the border counties of the Southwest,
said that over 81 900, 900 would be expend-
ed this year in the coal fields near Big Stone
Gap. General Ayers gave out Athe follow
ing facts as to what is doing aud will be
done in Wise and Lee counties -
1"The Virginia Coal and Iron Company
is just completing the last of 666 coke ovens
at Stonega, Va.
The Virginia Iron, Coal and Coke Com
pany, with headquarters at Bristol, has
under construction plant at Toms Creek
which numbers 600 ovens and will later be
increased to 1000. This same company
is building plant of 200 ovens at Innman,
near Big Stone Gap. Villages are springing
up around those plants.
"The Colonial Coal and Coke Company,
which recently purchased the Dorchester
mines and coke plant, is building an addi-
ton of 100 ovens to the plant of $50 now
in operation there, ard will later build
another 100.
The Norton Coal Company, now do
ing an extensive mining and shipping
business at the junction of the Louisville
and Nashville and Norfolk and Western
railways, will build 40 bi-product ovens,
thus utilizing the ammonia, coal-tar and
other pr Oducts.
"R. G. Ballard Thurston, of Louisville,
general manager of the Interstate Coal
and Iron Company, has a large force OF
engineers at work now, locatinga plant OF
coke ovens at what is known as Crab
Orchard, in Lee county: This company
will build 2OQovens at present, and will
later construct an additional 800"
This is only.a small part of the indus
lIldt OCNCtODluCnC tAiht Ielo lS1ACh PicSO III
Southwest Virginia since the defeat Of the
calamity howlers in 1896. General Ayers
was one of company of Democrats that
met at Big Stone Gap and protested
agans. placing coal on the free list when
the Wilson tariff bill was pending and MIR.
Bryan was advocating, on the floor OF the
House of Representatives, the passage of
that till with provision for placing coal
iron ore, wool, and all raw materials on
the free list.
1t is true that coal was not placed upon
the free list, but the duty was greatly re-
tluced, and the result was disastroas,to the
oaIsBdustry of Southwest Virginia. Since
Mckinley wss elected, and there was an
assurance given that Mr.. Bryan's free trade
doctrines would nOt be carried out, capital
has been flowing into our section for the
development of the great coal fields and
for other kinds of industries. 1t will con.
tinue to come, unless the country should
lose its reason and place free trade, free

A VITAL QUESTION IN CUBA.
Philadelphia Press.l

Philadelphia Press.l
The question of universal or a restrict
ed suffrage in Cuba is attracting attention
in that island just as it il in Puerto Rico,
In mahyfespects an ultimate and salisfac'
tory decision will be more difficult to reach
than in the case of Puerto Rico. 1t is a
very serious question and one upon which
will depend, in great measure, the future
welfare and prosperity of Cuba, and its
freedom from internecine strife.
1t is perfectly natural that every man,
no matter how lacking he may be in edu-
cational or property qualifications, who
fought in the revolutionary uprisings
against Spanish dominion should feel that
he is entitled to have voice in the future
government of bis native land. 1t Is just
as true that the educated and influential
classes are averse to universal suffrage, and
this is not confined to Spaniards resident
in the island, but to wealthy native Gu
bans who are in position to judge Of the
character, temper and general fitness of
their humble compatriots. To grant uni
versal saffrage, according to the views of
the latter, would be to invite the rule OF
the irresponsible who are largely swayed
by passion and prejudice, and very largely
under the dominion Of ambitious, though
brave men, who would not hesitate to use
force to accomplish their purpose ifdefeat-
ed at the polls.

ROBERTS EXCLUDED.

On last Thursday the House of Repre-
sentatises decided the case. Of Brigham
H. Roberts, the Mormon Representative
elect from Utah, by the adoption of a reso
luton to exclude him, by avote of 26S tc
90. The language of the resolution is al
follows:
"l'hat under the facts and circumstance;
of the case, Brigham II. Roberts, Repre-
sentative elect from the State OF Utah.
ought not to have or hold seat in the
House of Representatives, and that the
seat to which he was elected is hereby de-
clared vacant"
A minority report had been offered by q
minority of the committee that inyesti-
gated the case, recommending tEal Roberts
be seated and then expelled. The minor
ty report was defeated by g vote Of 81 to
pa. The final vote was then taken on the
majority report With 4he'result as above
stated. Of the 80 who voted against the
adoption of the resolution the large ma
iority came from the South. Epes, who is
the member from Virginia of the Con
gressional Democratic Committee, and
Swanson, Martins candidate for Governor
of Virginia, voted against the adoption o.
the resolution.
The House of Representatives pursued
very wise course in the treatment Of this
case, and public sentiment will fully sus
tain the action. r~'.' y

The Railway and Engineering Review
notes the wider distribution of the grain
traffic in recent years, the improved rail-
way systems of the South getting freight
that formerly went almost exclusively to
New York. "The analysis at the export
movemeht by ports, N.says the Review,
elbows that in the export of corn several
of the great ports on the Atlantic and
Gulf are gaining from New York, and
that the movement from the grain fields
toward the seaboard is apparently being
more generally distributed than formerly.
The exports of corn, for instance, from
the port of New York<increased from 4ir.
teen and one half million to forty million
bushels between 1923 and 1899, while
those from Boston increased from five and
one.half millions to seventeen and one
half millions; those from Philadelphia
from four millions to twenty nine millions;
Baltimore from seven and one.half mil.
lions to forty-six millions; New Orleans
from six and one half millions to twenty
two millions, while Newport News and
Galveston, for which the record begins
with 1895; show for Newport News an In
crease from four and one-half millions in
1895 to fourteen millions in 1899, and
Galveston from one and ne-quarter. mill
lions in 1895 to seven millions in 1899.
Thus Philadelphia, Baltimore, Newport
News, New Orleans and Galveston show
much larger percentage of growth in
their exports Of corn thar. does New York
or Boston.
