PROGRESS IN THE SOUTH.

~ NE of the most cheering factors in the South
1 crn problem is the rapdity with which it is
- developing along all lines of industry. 1t
may naturally be expected that with increase of
wealth there will come increase of education, as
well as more Industrious habits and that from those
improvements there will in turn develop sense Of re-
sponsibity to law which will put an end to the
homicdes and the lynchngs which now not only
disgrace the community where they occur but retard
the immigration of settlers, who would materially
benefit the South in many ways.
Of the industrial advance there is longer any
question 1t is, in fact, of the most notable fea
lures of the development of our time. 1t hardly
seems credible that in kinds of production other
than that of agriculture the South now produces as
much as the whole Union did in 1885, and yet the
trade statistics show that such the In fact the
South is rapidly advancing from an agricultural to
manufacturing community Her cities are increasing
in population and her railroad mileage is advancing
by leaps and bounds. In comparatively few years
the South will no longer be poor. She will be able
educate her children we'll those of other parts
OF the Union and to enforce her laws with an equal
frmness and impartiaity.
Some evidences of Southern progress have been
recently presented in the New York Commercial Adj
vertiser and while they by no means cover the
whole subject they the less sufficient to show
that new era has begun for that section of the
country In 1890 the South had SOL 100000 invested
in cotton factories, but at present such investments
represent upward of $500 900, 900. At present the
Southern mills consume annually about 100000
bales of cotton while the mills of all other parts of
the country consume 100000 bales Moreover the
cottonseed oil industry has developed in the South
until it yields product of $4,000, 900 a year
This product few years ago was thrown away as
waste.
Cotton, however does not engage all the manufac-
turing energies of the South The advance in the
iron and coal interests has been less marked than
that made in the manufacture of cotton goods At
the present time the South is making about 3ooo-
600 tons of pigron and mining about $4,000 900 tons
of bituminous coal, making an output in each case
which is said to be just about equal that of the en-
tire Union in 1880. Another expanding industry is
that of working up the woods of the country In
some localities the development of furniture and
other woodworking factories has proceeded so far
they beginning to be counted rivals to the lar
gest centers of such industries in the North
1t is to be noted finally, that the improved methods
OF operating gold mines has led to renewal of gold
mining in North Carolina and Georgia, and fairly
good results have been attained Thus in all kinds of
mining, Woodworking and Woodworking as well as

been six years contest between the cor
poration of the city of New York. the
town of Pelham and the county of West
chester, will soon be a thing Of the past.
as bill passed by the recent Legislature
provides for a settlement of this long and
expensive legal dispute.
Ever since the laying out Of the city
line in the borough of the Bronx in 1894
there has existed a narrow strip of land
running from the Bronx River in a south
erly direction to the shores Of Long Island
Sound, claimed by the city, town and
county, and which has become known
throughout the borough as mo Mans
Land" On the Long Island Sound shore
the strip of land in question is about $50
feet wide, and it tapers gradually for a
distance of two miles or more northerly
until it reaches an angle and dies away
near the heart of South Mount Vernon
The bill gives the land to the county Of
Westchester, but provides for the con-
struction of an avenue 100 feet wide run
ming from Long Island Sound to South
Mount Vernon. The center line of this
avenue Will, according to the provisions of
the bill, be the boundary line between
New York and Westchester County, and
the expense of the construction of the
avenue will be borne equally. This new
avenue will also form the eastern boun-
dary or Bronx and Pelham parks. Prom
erty owners in the vicinity are eIated over
the outcome of the dispute, as it will open
up territory that has been unimproved
tor years and provide a fine roadway Lead
ing straight from Long Island Sound

AWAKENING OF CHINA.
M MISTER CONGER has transmitted to the
I'M State Department at Washington transla-
Il tinr of 4 cerie ar a.,d

M MISTER CONGER has transmitted to the
I'M State Department at Washington a transla-
4tA ton of a series of rules and orders adopted
by the newly organized Board of National Admins
| tration in China There have been many reports
that the board would set about undertaking re-
forms which would strengthen as well as improve
China, and from the documents furnished by Mr.
Conger it would seem the reports have by no means
exaggerated the purposes of the officials now at the
head of the Chinese Government
The full text of the rules and orders transmitted by
the Minister has not been given out by the State
Department, but from the summary that has been
made public it will be easy to perceive that new and
deeply significant spirit has been awakened in China
Among other things the regulations say: Japan is
OF the same continent with ourselves her change of
methods is quite recent and she has attained to
strength and prosperity Her experience has been so
nearly like own that we may derive instruction
from it. The Chinese Minister to Japan, therefore.
should be directed to make report of all the changes
in Government methods that have been adopted and
that have proved advantageous and send to u.s. and
all the Chinese Ministers to the various countries
should be instructed to report the various financial
measures, military laws, commercial and industrial
legislation which prevail abroad selecting the most
important measures, Classifying Them and submitting
them to us for consideration The object Of the
Enlistment of this Board of Administration is to nro
mote the independence of China. Chinas weakness
is due to her poverty The strength of foreign powers
is due to their wealth Heretofore there have been
debts to the foreign powers unpaid now there is the
pressure OF the indemnity, amounting to more than
$I4,84oooo per annun."
1t may be that the Chinese will not be able to live
up to the spirit of that report that Chinese conserva
tism and stagnation will be too powerful for any adj
mnistrative board to overcome no matter how en-
lightened and enterprsing it may be. Nevertheless
the very fact that the Chinese Government has been
enlightened is proof that the whole population may
be moved to some extent by the same spirit II is TO
be remembered that the Chinaman is by no means 50
stagnant and stold man as he has been depicted
The Chinese who come to California do indeed re-
tain their old style of dress and many of their ancient
ways and customs, but they manage Just the same to
learn American trades and American methods Of
doing business 1t is therefore NOT unlikely that the
race remembering the suffering and wrongs inflicted
by foreign invaders, will set itself resolutev to SIM
port the improvements undertaken by the Board of
National Administration. If that should hammer the
world will have problem on its hands before
the century closes.

FAILURE OF PRUNE BRANDY.

TT is to be regretted that the abundant experiments
made in prune brandy by Mr.. Korbe have failed
l. to produce merchantabe liquor that can expect
d profitable market
We fail to make use of our entire fruit crop in this
State. In European fruit districts there is much
closer use made OF everything. The vintage yields
profitable byproducts, and pits and parings of stone
fruits made by distillaton to reappear in some
form that prevents their waste The many merchant
able liqueurs as aprcotine, distilled from apricots,
kirsch and Others represent the saving process Of dis
tllation. II prunes could have been used in the
mash tub proftably tire surplus of crop might have
been proftably disposed of in that way.
But the experiments Of Mr.. Korbel may yet be OF
great importance California as suggestion. There
considerable importation Of fig brandy into this
country. 1t is liqueur, used such as coup" at
table, and is also fine cooking liquor for sauces It
is made in Greece OF capri and purple figs, and has
market in Europe
We are producing { surplus OF purple and other
figs which do require the blastophaga in pollina-
ton In many parts Of the State these figs are used
in fattenng hogs. They are delicious fruit, but in
their fresh state do bear long shipment and there
fore are net an export crop.
A few years ago the dstillation of fig brandy was
begun here, but was forbidden by the internal rev.
enue officers because it is not mentioned in the law!
Unfortunately the few barrels that were distilled be-
fore this important discovery was made were de-
stroyed by the officers there was no chance to
test il after aging.
There is no known reason, however why our figs
should make as fine an aromatic brandy as those
of Greece, and that California fig brandy
would find profitable market in the United States
and some demand abroad.
AS it is local interest our members of Congress
can be relied to get fig liquor into the revenue law
and then, if Mr.. Korbe will bring his skill and es-
perence bear its distation his work for prune
brandy will not be wholly lost.
There seems to be no reason why should not
also supply the American demand for apricotine
The apricot is generally distributed over the
State than the prune and in full years not only must
there be surplus over the demand for canning and
drying, but in all years there be much fruit not
up the standard required by either. This ought to
60 to the STILL it does in France and be saved in
stead OF wasted
Failure is the alphabet of success, and perhaps the
publicity given to Mr. Korbel's failure in prune
brandy may make him the real founder of profitable
uses for much that is now wasted
