A WITHDRAWING CONGRESS.

Chile having finally consented to take
part in the Pan-American Congress. the
representation in that body of every re-
public in this hemisphere is assured.
The congress will find some matters of
great Importance to consider when It shall
meet few weeks hence in the City OF
Mexico. The general design of the inter-
national conference is to form some plan
of adjusting differences that may occur
between any Of the governments con.
cerned In this movement, and to encour-
age more cordial political and CONNER
cial relations between them. There are
some matters Of immediate Importance
awaiting the consideration of the con-
gress. The most urgent of these have
been brought about by Chile. the most
ambitious and aggressive of the South
American nations.
The schemes of Chile have offended and
alarmed nearly all the neighboring gov
ernments. Her boundary disputes with
Peru and Bolivia have been standing for
many months, and she has recently got
ten into a quarrel with the Argentine Re-
public over territory contiguous to the
Straits OF Magellan.
All of these contentious will be brought
before the Pan-American Congress, but
there is great doubt as to how far the
contestants will agree to be bound by the
decision of the arbitrators. In the opin-
ion Of those who have studied the points
in dispute and the temper of the claim
ants. the prospect of a peaceful settle
ment is not hopeful.
1t is certain that the other govern
ments will not consent to give Chile all
she demands. and she may fight before
she win accept less.
An EFFORT will be made by the congress
to put an end to the war between colom-
bia on the one hand and Venezuela and
Ecuador on the other. Nicaragua is about
to get mixed up in this trouble also. 1t
will be a hard task to bring these con-
ficting interests into harmony, but one Of
the first efforts Of the congress win be in
that direction.

THE coUNTRYs coNFIDENcE.

No less remarkable than the proofs Of
the intense and enthusiastic patriotism
that pervades our country was the demon
stration of the high degree of business
confidence that was called forth by the
assault upon the life OF the president. The
manner in which the business centers
withstood the shock is perhaps the high
est illustration Of the country's CONNER
cial strength and solidity ever yet given.
There was a decline of stocks, II is true,
but Il was far slighter than the most
conservative business men expected and
at no time was there any symptom of a
panic.
The banks and the great captains Of
trade preserved a steady tone and gave
assurances Of support to the markets.
which were Of incalculable value to all
interests.
There was a remarkably quick recovery
from the first shock and business affairs
are now moving along as smoothly as
they did on the day before the president
was shot.
IL Is Impossible 10 estimate the disaster
and ruin that would have ensued had
the business element not kept it's head
cool and its nerves steady.
That it did so to such an admirable ex-
tent is due to the fact that the prosperity
of the country and the solid Foundation
upon which it rests are so fully realized by
our people
Il demonstrates also an abiding faith in
our institutions. in the patriotism Of the
masses OF the people and their determine
ton TO uphold the government under all
conditions. We do not believe that there
Is another nation that would have with
stood shock like that we received last
Friday as did the people of the United
States.

WOMEN AT WORK.

Almost every day we see evidences OF the

A PLEA FOR THE TEACHERS.

In his recent annual report State School
Commissioner Glenn makes a strong plea
for the bestowal Of long-delayed justice
upon the public school teachers Of the
rural districts who are entirely dependent
upon the state for their compensation.
In the cities the teachers are paid
promptly, but the great majority Of the
men and women who are engaged in edu-
eating the youth OF the state have had
to walt every year so long for their pay
that they have been put to great incon-
venience and serious loss.
The Journal has pleaded the cause OF
these faithful public servants persistently
and with increasing interest.
Their pay is small, in most cases bare
ly suficient to supply their actual needs.
And yet many OF these teachers are COM
PEELED every year to sell their school war;
rants at a heavy discount. 1t needs no
argument to prove that the policy which
imposes this hardship upon 50 many
teachers is wrong.
The Savannah yrzeNsa puts the matter in
its true light when it says:
us it not in the power Of the legis-
lature to remedy this outrageous con-
dition Of affairs? 1t certainly is, or the
state school commissioner would not be
continually urging that body to do some
thing. for the relief of the teachers. II
Is worthy Of notice that the legislature
is careful to provide the means for pay
ing its own members promptly, and, also,
for paying the salaries of the state house
officers. If money can be obtained for
paying these officials it certainly can be
found for paying the school teachers. If
any of those who are dependent upon the
state for their incomes have to walt for
their money 1t should be those who get
large salaries. 1t certainly should not
be those who get. on an average, only
$3.50 a year"
The injustice that the teachers have TO
endure under our present system has been
impressed upon the public mind by the
recent course of events. We trust that it
has been so clearly set forth as to arouse
the public conscience to the determination
that II shall not continue.
The legislature at its next session should
provide the remedy.

A WoNpRous STORY.

The fact that cotton manufacturing in
creased in the north only per cent dur
ing the year ended September LIST. while
it increased 80 per cent in the south, is
one of the many proofs OF the fact that
the south is making more rapid industrial
progress than any other section Of the
country. During the period referred to the
number of cotton spindles in the north
increased 46O, 900; the number in the south
increased 1.27e.s2O. The growth Of the
cotton spinning industry in the south
since the first cotton exposition in Atlanta
gave a powerful impulse to this industry
has been almost incredible.
In 1880, the year before that exposi-
ton was held. there were in the whole
south only 164 cotton mills with total
Of 5S1 $50 spindles., and 1889 looms. The
south now has no less than 5sl mills in
operation and many more building. The
total number of spindles IN the south has
increased to 5.Ss.sS5. and the number Of
looms to 122,9O2
The consumption Of cotton by southern
mills has increased from 1Ss.74S bales in
1880. to 1867. O12 bales in 1901.
The number Of spindles set up in the
south during the last u months has been
more than twice as great as the total
number in the entire south in 1880.
In the last ten years the number has
increased 2sO per cent, and it has near
ly doubled in five years. During the, next
II months the south will make an i'm
mense advance in the great industry for
which its manifold advantages are now
admitted even in New England and this
time next year we will be reading an
other chapter in this story Of wonderful
progress.

llshed very interesting letter from Hol-
land which treated Of the advance Of
women in that very conservative country.
The way has been opened in Holland for
the employment of women in manufac-
turing and mercantile occupations and
even in the professions. Dutch women
seem to be succeeding especially well in
dentistry. a profession in which many of
them are engaged.
A woman dentist would have been
curiosity in the United States a generation
ago. but she exeites no surprise now.
We have become used to her and have JUS

lions.

When we reflect that scarcely a gem
GRAFTON ago, great cities were ravaged
and laid waste by yellow fever, chol-

and diphtheria we realize what strides
have heen made in disease control
For instance. in 1892. Y cases or Ash
attic cholera, brought from ships, broke
out in the tenement districts OF New
York city.
So perfect were the preventive meth
DDS employed that not a secondary case
occurred after these u fell into the
hands of the board of health.
The anti-toxin treatment for diph-
iberia has greatly reduced the mortal
ity of that disease and oxygenation Is
doing wonders for acute diseases Ike
pneumonia and bronchitis.
Science has it's eye firmly fixed upon
the bubonic plague which has so far

the advantage of raging among the
filthy people of the globe Smallpox
is offering a fruitful field OF scientiflc

When we add to all this study OF

one.
The United States has magnificent
