SOUTHERN GROWTH.

The Census Bureau returns show that
for the first time in our history the pop
aIation OF the South has Increased as
Hast as in the North. This fact has oc-
Fashioned a great deal Of interest. and the
Springfield Republican thinks it is due
20 the interstate migration which is now
setting towards the South. 1t has been
understood for some time that The ma
Sority OF European immigration settled in
The Northern and Western States. For
snany reasons this source OF increased
population has never been turned towards
The South. But now. despite This annual
increasemcnt for the North. The South is
gaining as rapidly as the other sections.
The Lynchbug Advance thinks this is
due TO the fact that the hirth-rate III the
South is proportionately higher. Be this
as it may. ii is q sign which he who
runs may read when The South begins to
advance in population more rapidly than
other sections OF the country, and now
that our population is beginning to keep
alp with our wealth and manufactures
the South is becoming the promised hand
indeed.

COLLEGE ATHLETICS AND PRESTIGE.

There is no royal high road to success
sn learning how to make shoes except
by sticking at it. and the old Latin mot
10, Shoemaker, stick 10 thy last, what
ever else it may or may not promise. at
least it guarantees the shoemaker a GER
tain skill in his trade. We see all around
us attempts 70 boom a business for other
reasons than that it is the best. News
papers have tried this with varying de-
grers of success. and preachers have tried
St by Offering semi-religious vaudeviiles.
il has also been tried by colleges, who,
thinking that their reputation for atm
lctics would raise them moro in the pub
lie estimation than their standing in in
s;itutions OF learning. have for the sake
of advertisement endcavored to achieve
Success in the athletic field.
President Eliot of Harvard, speaking
recently in New York, pointed out the
very interesting fact that, though Har-
ward was almost a by-word SO far as
success in football or rowing was con
ccrned, yet that college, which closed last
year with 5.124 students, has now neariA
5000 students. and in eleven years has in
creased one hundred and twenty-stX per
cent. and during all this time Harvard
has won two football games from Yale.
But her primacy among American insu-
buttons of learning is unQucstioncd. CO.
lu:nbia, which is not very prominent att-
letically, has jumped to second place, with
a growth of one hundred and lightweight
per cent. owing largely to the move
ment TO Morning Side and the addition
OF new departments under Mr.. Lows
presidency. According to the New York
World, Yale. second in age and presuge
and long first in muscle, has apparently
dropped from fourth place TO ninth, be-
ing now surpassed in numbers by Cornell,
Chicago. California, Illinois. Michigan ana
Minnesota, and nearly equaled by North
western and Wisconsin.
The public will not regret to learn upon
such high authority as President Eiiot
that college education is still sought for
cducation's sake.
The public, no less than students, un-
derstand the value Of education. and when
world or who feels a real desire Tor
learning for its own sake, wishes to go
&c college, he is sure to choose thai
place where he will receirc the most ad
rancement FOR the ex sndture Of brains
and money made on mis- part.

TRUSTS AND PRODUCERS.

Stability Of prices and certainty OF de-
mand are the two great laws In the field
of commerce which cannot be disregard
ed without serious harm. We have had
occasion more than once to point out that
the tobacco trust, whatever else might
be laid to its charge. has at least created
a stcadiness OF demand and thereby
maintained higher price-leSel than has
been heretofore known for anything like
the same extent of time. This has had
the effect OF beneiittlng the farmer large
~, for he was not left TO the mercy OF
"a number of small consumf4s. The to-
bacco trust has had TO fight European
mancrac turers, and in order to hold It's
position it had to increase its sales, and
3n order to sell manufactured tobacco It
he'd TO buy the raw article. This has
kept up the price OF tobacco and we are
kratitied to see that our view on this
question has been commented upon by
uie Blackstone Courier, which says:
THE Times is often charged with being
the defender of trusts. hut what 1t states

The Brunswick Gazette and the Am

eating the purchase of bleodhounds tor

amples of the sa Gacity and fidelity OF

says:

great disposition to resort to lynch law.
There was great excitement, 1t IS true,
and such would have been the case any
where, but this was due more to the de-
sire TO bring the peTpetrator of n heinous
crime TO punishment than to any wish
to inflict summary punishment. 1t is true
that our Governor did not seem to be

can Tobacco Company into the markets
of England. The fight between the
American company and the English COM
pany has caused great activity in the to-
bacco world, with the result of increased
prices, and this means more money to
the farmers
The same principle is being applied TO
the steel markets. and the statement made
i'y the directors of the United states Steel
Corporation, that they did not advance
prices when they could have done so IN
the past year because they did not wish
TO IInsettle tho market. is n proof that
that corporation understands the value of
having the publios mind at rest on the
great question of prices. An advance by
the steel trust on the prices for their
articles would have produced little
more revenue, but 1t would have exas-
peratcd the consumers and would have
tended to make the industry more OF
gamble and less Of a. business.
The policy OF enlightened scIflshness,
it has happily been called is often one
of the surcst means of preventing men
from ovcr-reaching themselves when
once they have learned the cost of such
Srecdness. and whatever else the steel
trust may or may not do, it will have per-
formed one service Of note if it tends
TO put our iron and, steel industries on
a firm and enduring basis Of fair re-
turns upon the capital invested, without
seeking to make exorbitant profits out of
the necessities of consumers
We do not believe that the trust is ac-
tuatcd by any higher moral principle than
the mere desire to get dollars and cents.
But we DO believe they have sense enough
TO understand that the surest way TO
make such an enormous business as theirs
pay, is to have steady trade, and 10
this end 1t is to their advantage to pre-
vent any great bulge or sag in the mar
kct 1t is not to be believed for an instant
that men who have invested millions and
millions of dollars In a great industry will
not avail themselves of the best opinions
they can get as to causes of fluctuations
in the market, With advice how these
fluctuations may be best averted. Certain

farmer, as the case may be, benefits large
