THE NEW SOUTH.


Richmond Times. ,
There have been few more
significant gatherings in the
South than the Southern In
dustrial Convention now in
session at New Orleans. The
convention Is largely attend
ed and the interest is intense.
The governor of the'State de
livered the address OF wei
come and Gen. John B. Cor.
don, Of Georgia, replied. He
said that "whateycr the peO-
pie of tie South have been in
favor Of in the past, they are
no longer in fayOr OF a naG-
row or contracted national
policy. They are in favor OF
the Niraraguan canal, of the
open-door in the Orient, of
carrying their blessings to
the benighred brown peoples
OF the East, who, some day,
will rise up and shout aloud
hOsannas,to God that the
flag of the Stars and Stripes
has been admitted among
them"
Had that sentiment been
expressed sixty days ago it
would have been regretted by
extreme party men as rank
treason to the Democracy
But it is none the less true
that General Gordon has ex-
pressed the general sentiment
of the Southern people or
these points. We have a
work to do in the East and
the Southern people are in
favor of doing it and doing
it well. We are going to ex
tend the blessings and benf-
cent Influences OF American
ism, and in so doing we shal
be doing a work appointed
us by the Divine Ruler of the
universe. There is at least
that much of truth in imam
ifest destiny"
Following General Gordor
came President Il. Fl. Har-
grave, with some interesting
figures. He asserted thai
the South has 25 per cent. o
the area OF the United States
33 per cent. of its population
all itscOttOn and cottO seed
80 per cent. of it's tobacco
80 per cent. of it's timber re
sources, 80 per cent. of its
coal area, 90 per cent. of its
coal product ton, Tx pei
cent. ofits iron production
80 pei cent. of it's railroad
mileage, but only 20 PEI
cent. Of its wealth, and les,
tDan lO per cent. Ol IT'S man
ufactures. This is an anon
alous condition, yet when W,
remember that up to the tim,
of the war the South was en-
tirelv an agricultural section
and that it paid little or NJ
attention to manufacturing
when it is remembered tha
the South passed through
four years of bloody and dis
astrOus war, and through
several years more OF Repub
lican reconstruction. Whicl

WASHINGTON LETTER,
'From our Resuias Correspondent

Win England accept the
Aineri' anizrl Hay Pannce.
Tote trtaiy which will start
ifoI London this week, or will
il reject it, and invite some.
thing even less palatable?
That is one Of the most dis
russpd questions of the hour
in Washington. Another is.
will Congress wait until Eng
land signifies its intentions,
before passing the Nicaragua
Canal bill? No one can ans
wer either with any certainty
at this time, but the prevail
ing opinion appears to be
that the refusal of England
to accept the amended treaty
would arouse a very bitter
anti-E n g s h sentiment,
which might result in leglsla-
Ition that would he disas-
trous to English interests,
instead OF merely defending
American interests, as the
amended treaty does. The
Canal question is really puz,
zling and becoming more 80.
Some of the Senators who
talk loudest for the Canal
Bill. are under suspicion of
not being sincere, and no on"
need he greatly surprised if
there is no canal legislation
at this session, although at
the opening of the session,
the Canal bill was considered
one OF the certaintles, and it
is fully known that public
sentiment of the Country. re-
gardless of politics, over
whelmlngly indorses the Mic
arsgna Canal Bill.
The extent of the fight for
reelection that little Billy
Chandler has on his hands
may be judged from his hav-
ing begged letters of recon.

had lost the confidence anC
support of many OF his Re
publican colleagues ia the
} Senate. This would have
been Il shrewd dodge, If the
Endorsement of a sufficient
number of Republican Sena
!. tors had been secured. 5u,
when the number is less thar
one half of the Republicar
Senators, it seems more like
a confirmation than a refutd
q ton OF the charge, as it il
certain that Chandler got al
the letters he could.

Just negun. with all THESE
raw materials at hand with
every facility for manufactur
ing and with all the condi-
tions favorable, the indus
tries Of the South must lOgi-
cally grow at a rapid rate
until these industries shall be
commensurate with the ad.
vantages which the South
possesses.
And herein, We may remark
in passing, is to he found the
future solution of the pohti.
cal problem of this section.
AS our industries grow and
as our people turn their at
tantion more and more to
manufacturing and trade
they will become more and
more identified with the great
interests Of other sections,
and by and by the South will
not be solid for II candidate
who sees visions and dreams,
simply because he is the nom
inee of the Democra tic party.
We 90 d step farther and
say that, in our opinion, new
er again will the Populists CT
the Middle West be permitted
to dictate terms to the South
in a national ca mpaign. God
forbid that the South should
ever surrender its honest con
victiuns to cOmmereialiSm,
but AS sure as fate the com
mercial question will play a
greater part in the profits of
the South hereafter than it
has done in the previous cam
paigns.
President Hargrave urged
that a campaign be inaugu-
rated by each State to b.
lish a "prosperity club" in
every town (which should
have a strong official head,
capable OF studying the local
conditions, need and oppor-
tunlty of each section, and
could draw around him all
available forces to secure ev-
erything possible to develop
the commerce, health, wealth
and influence of tha t section. "

According to a newspaper
guess which may or may not

not only the sign OF clever
ness, bnt of painstaking oh
seryation, the United States
Supreme Court which last
week heard arguments on

Spain. now stands four in ia

the constitution follows the

Chief Justice Fuller in doubt.

ion will really rest with the
Chief Justice and he IS a good

While this guess may not

not wildly made. Members
of the Supreme Court are hu-

they indicate their belief by

some by private conversa-

the announcement. but STILL at this
modern period, sick children are car
ried fasting on Sunday mornings into
three parishes in some country dis
tricts; spiders eggs are proclaimed by
village wiseacres to be an invaluable
cure for jaundice; the hind legs of a
toad worn round the neck in a silk
bag are regarded as a panacea for all
evils, and the best disinfectant and
anti-contagion that the world can pro-
duce is, in the minds of many an old

Did DOT Move with Dispatch.
On redirect examination Mr.. Hanna,
speaking of the departure from Glen

'Presuming, then, that the Admiral
was satisfied that the Spanish squad
ron was not in that harbor, did you
proceed with all dispatch to Santiago
de Cuba?'

Mr.. Rayner: "You said you did not

That is what l said, sir"

from proceeding faster than you did,

Il do not think there was anything
in the weather to prevent the big ships

and Santiago?"
'"I expect her condition was very
bad"

Judge Wilson: I'm what respect did

rity, or did you mean that they did not

their lances.
1t was a marvellous spectacle to
watch the horsemen approaching. The
trumpets could be heard sounding the
trot until about half a mile from the

forth the charge.
On came the horses, the thunder of
their hoof beats mingling with the
rattle OF accoutrements, the troopers
waving their swords. Then, at fifty
yards from the dais, the call to halt
burst from the trumpets, the officers
waved their swords as a signal to stop
ana the men refined in their horses at
the outer limit of the garden in front
OF the dais.

race was animated and he pointed out

Poison in SILK Stockings.
From the Hosnital.

Among the various forms of metal
lie poisoning to which man is liable
we must not forget that innocent az
tin may be as a lining TO tin" yes
sells. some of it's salts are by no means
free from poisonous qualities, and
when absorbed act seriously upon the
nervous system. These salts are often
employed in dyeing. Properly used,
they act as mordant, but It is whis-
pered that the manufacturer is not al
ways sorry to find that the excess Of
the salt is not removed, for when left
II adds weight to the silk-and silk is
valuable-hence many troubles.
Colored stockings have often been ac-
cused of causing poisoning. Not only
does the pattern on the stockings
sometimes cause eruptions on the legs,
but in some cases poisonous materials
have been absorbed into the system.
Arsenic, which in the early days OF
aniline dyes was often present, used
to be the incriminated metal. This,
however. is a mode of arsenical pois-
oning of which very little has been
heard for many years. Now it is tin
which is arraigned.
In producing certain delicate colors
in silk chloride of tin is used as a NOR
dant, and in some cases 1t is said that
this salt exists in the dyed fabric in
very large proportions. Hence. when
the fabric takes the form of stockings.
and the feet perspire. the salt dissolves
and is absorbed. A case is reported
from Vienna Of a woman who suffered
from attacks of partial paralysis in
the lower extremities, with anaesthesia,
n 80 rAf AeA = 81
She had noticed that whenever these
symptoms were most pronounced her
feet were colored yellow, and it was
found that this staining was derived
from the light yellow silk stockings
which she wore. On Analysing these
they were found to contain considerable
quantities of tin. Careful chemical ex-
animation of the excreta showed that
they also contained tin, so that what
ever may have been the cause of the
symptoms there could be no doubt that
the patient had tin in her system.
The moral seems TO be that persons
who perspire should not wear pretty
silks next their skin unless they can
be sure that they are not dyed with
colors mordanted with tin. Possibly
there may in this case have been some
carelessness, and II may not have been
the metal combined with the color. but
rather the excess. which had not been
properly removed that did the mis-
chief. This, however. will not afford
much comfort to the ladies who buy
silk stockings, for how are they TO tell
whether any particular color is safe
or not? II is unfortunate, but II seems
to be the fact, that In many instances
colors which are fast" enough In re-
lation TO ordinary washing are by no
means incapable OF solution IA persplr-'
alton, especially when this natural Sc
erection has been modified by the vari-
