Read in round figures, says the Trib-
une, 200 through passenger trains come
into the six passenger stations of Chi
cago every day, leaving 10000 strangers
in the city Then 200 more trains are
made up under the miles Of train sheds
and 10000 more strangers are whirled
out Of the smoke and din and CRIME
that mark these great centers Of in
gress and egress. These figures are
from the estimates Of the stationmas-
tiers in the six passenger stations Of
Chicago.
AS to stations trains and train move
ments in Chicago. these figures are
small compared with the suburban
business. In the Union station alone
200 suburban trains arrive and depart
every day, carrying 10000 passengers.
Thirty-three thousand five hundred
persons go in and out of this station
every twenty-four hours.
But that 10000 strangers come into
Chicago every day by these railroad
lines is a significant group of figures.
To these may be added the lake ex-

Commenting on the removal of the
Vesta Cotton Mil from Charleston to
Gainesville, Ga, and the failure of the
owners of the mill to make negro labor
profitable. the Philadelphia Ledger says:
They say the negroes are lazy. triflng,
and will not work as steadily as they
must in order to make their labor profit
able. The report does not speak well for
the establishment of cotton mills in the
Gotten fields, about which so much was
said two or three years ago; but what
will the company do at Gainesville? viii

ment Of the mills to the cotton fields de-
pended upon the negro labor there
would, indeed. be some doubt about the
advisability of such movement. Luckily,
1t does not. There is an abundance of
available white labor in the South; and
the vesta Mill is going to a good place
to get a plentiful supply of the best of
It. Gainesville is in the highlands; prac-
ticaly In the mountains. In Hall county
and the surrounding counties of For
syth, Dawson, Habersham, Lumpkin and
Banks there are hundreds OF white fam
lilies that can, and will If necessary. send
one or more members to work in the cot
ton mills. There will have to be built
many more textile mills in the South
before there will be any danger Of an
exhaustion of the white labor supply.

EX-SENATOR HILL IN FAVOR.

1t must be gratifying to ex-senator Da-
vid B. Hill of New York to receive so
many invitations from the South to ad-
dfess Democrats. 1t has been only a lit
tie while since he received a most press
ing invitation from the Legislature of
Texas to address the pc pie of that state.
lie has not yet replied to that Invitation,
so far as we have seen. There is not
much doubt, however, that he will accept
it. And he has been invited to address
the Democrats of Atlanta by the Young
Mems Democratic League of that city on
the occasion of the anniversary of the
birthday of Thomas Jefferson An an
swer Is awaited with the expectation that
1t will be favorable.
1t is of course long time before the
campaign will be begun actively for the
Democratic nomination for President, and
cannot be said that Mr.. Hill is look
ing forward to being the party's presi-
Dental nominee in 1904. but if the presi-
Dental bee is buzzing about his ears,
these invitations from the South must
be very gra tifying to him. II is of course
well known that he is a gold standard
man, and the South helped to nominate
a silver man in 1885,. and in 1900 Mr..
Hill has not changed his views in the
least on the silver question. Therefore he
Is justified in assuming that the invita-
tions he is receiving from the South
mean that the South is not as much op-
posed to his posi- lion in respect to silver
as she once was.
There is nothing In these invita- tons that
can be construed to mean that Mr.. Hill
can count on the support of the South in
1904 in the event that he is a candidate
for the presidential nomination of his
Tarty. No one can predict now with any
degree of certainty what the political
situation will be three years hence. AS
Mr.. Watterson said recently, a man not
now In the public mind may be chosen
as the leader of the Democratic party.
Still, 1t cannot be overlooked that Mr..
Hin at this time occupies a conspicuous
place in the minds of very large por-
ton of the Democrats OF the country,
North and S.uth. And he seems dispos-
ed 20 do what he can to retain that
place.

Gen. Frey of the French army recently
left China for home with large lot of
rich loot that he had gathered in Tien
9sin, Pekin and elsewhere. His booty
consisted of precious stones, gold and sill
yer ornaments ivory and antique works
of art. Lea ming of Gen. Frey's rich pick
ngs, the French government has ordered
him 10 go right back to China and restore
the articles to their owners as far as he
may be able, and to turn the remainder
over to Chinese officials. Naturally the
brave general was very engry at being
thus shOrn of his spoil of war, and
thought himself a very badly used man,
but he had his orders, so there was moth
ing for him to do but obey. He is now on
mis- way back
