The Industrial Situation.

Then there Is the industrial situation Every sane English business man now admits that the sceptre of commercial supremacy Is falling away from the hands that so long have held 1t. The rival most feared of all Is the United States. With the genius of it's people for invention, their energy. industry. enterprise. marvellous resources and abundant capital. The most far-seeing business men arc in almost constant alarm, shuddering at the pros- pect of some thew Yankee machine" that should revolutionise the industry in which they are engaged. The old proud feeling. confidence, faith, or whatever else 1t may be called. that the English manufacturer was beyond the roach of competition. is no more. Do not think that he has given up the battle, for he has not. but there has been an immense diminution of nerve power and that dominant aggressiveness which have hitherto kept him in the lead ershlp.
 Andrew Carnegie In a recent communi- cation respecting his Scottish University endowment fund, used the phrase "my countrymen." referring to the people of scotland. This expression. perhaps a mere slip Of the pen. has started bit of gos- SID, as yet private. that the steel potentate Intends to give up his American citisen- ship and end his days, as he begun them, a British subject. As the master of Skibo Castle, and in view of his enormous wealth and educational benefaetions, the suggestion is thrown out that the King, waen he begins the grand distribution of peerages after his coronation might toss one to the greatest iron master the world has ever had. Earl Carnegie would not sound bad.
 Speaking of peerases, there is one ex- American that confidently counts upon re- eeivins a title - William Walderf Aster The King recently restored Mr, Astor to his good graees, and it is not impossible that the great New York landlord may be- come another kind of lord on this side of the water.

Three New Trunk Lines.


 Three new trunk lines of railroad are facilities and open up territory as yet un- developed.
 An arrangement has already been made to establish a new barge line for trans porting coal from tide-water on the War rior River to New Orleans by an all wa
 ter route, through Lake Borgne canal,
 The line will begin operation November
 1, and will carry 1000 tons per day. A contract has been made by one of our railroads to deliver to the Mexican Gen. tral Railroad Company 250,000 tons of coal
 during the year. These. together with the recent consolidation of several coal prop critics under one management, backed by plenty of capital, foreteil greater develop ment of the coal fields of the district, Surrounded by a territory of such matchless reources, and such boundless possibilities, in which so much has al- ready been done, and whore there is so much projected for the future, that Is sure to be accomplished, the continued growth and prosperity of Birmingham Is assured beyond the shadow of doubt From every standpoint there is encour- aEement. To men of spirit and ambition there is that promise and inspiration which guarantee success. To a courage ous and seif-feliant people there Is the assurance that the natural resources Of the district, if properly utilized, will make 1t one of the richest, most popuious and prosperous sections on the globe.

Because the results in the West have
not been up to expectations. the Demo-

national headquarters in Chicago
Whether the change shall be temporary

will depend largely upon whether or

will have anything TO offer western peo-

Democratic national headquarters
were originally established in the CEN

OF the West. under the erroneous be-
lief that the western people, as n
whole, were in more or less sympathy
with the Populistic ideas that found
favor in Kansas and Nebraska, and
that found expression in the first nom

BY n strange and entirely unwarrant-

that, because the free silver craze had

Superstition and Providence.

sense, persists in sharp criticism of n
certain element OF expansionists for
processing 10 believe that the hand of
divine Providence has been in the re-
cent history of Spain and the United
States. OF all hypocrisies this, to the
Evening Post, is the most repulsive.
The belief of such American citizens
that Providence had n certain super
vision over the war with Spain, the
naval campaigns, the remarkable con-
sequences in the expiration of the
Spanish colonial system and the sue
cession of the United States as colo
NAL power, is characterized by the
Post as childish superstition, little less
than blasphemous.
If the Evening Posi- and papers

that the belief of millions of intcllI.

sioner jones said to-day that the rescaling
of logs on the White Earth reservation
will go on, notwithstanding Inspector Farr
has left the reservation.
Inspector Farr was needed in his reg
ular territory in Wisconsin," said Com
missioner Jones, land he was withdrawn
from work at White Earth, as it was so
nearly completed. His place will be taken
by man selected by Captain Mercer, and
the Indians will not suffer in the least. 1t
is now proposed to go back to an arrange
ment entered into with the Indians and
lumber companies some time ago, but
which has been lost sight Of to an extent.
This agreement provided that the Indians
were to name one man. the lumber COM
panies another and Captain Mercer a
third, who were to rescale the logs cut
by dead and down contractors. Inspector
Farr was not sent to Minnesota to re-
main permanently, but simply that he
might investigate the green cut He is re-
liable and experienced and was selected
for that duty on that account. His with
drawal at this time need not alarm the
Indians, as the man to be selected by
Captain Mercer will be as good as Mr..

naming to be DONE
