The United States Geological Survey
is doing good work for the South in
making surveys and observations of its
running streams, with the view of sup
plying official data respecting their
available water power. A re-
cent report on the progress Of
stream measurements shows that
the water powers of the APP
palachian section are a source of
wealth that has as yet scarcely been
touched. Most of the rivers of Georgia.
Alabama, Eastern Mississippi and Ten
nessee, and some in Florida, have their
source in the mountains, at an eleva-
ton Of 1000 to 1900 feet above sea level
The headwaters of these rivers, there
fore, have a rapid fall and offer many
opportunities for developing power. In
addition there are numerous creeks
tumbling down from the mountains
and making rapids in the valleys that
could easily be put to work turning mill
wheels. Many of them have been util-
lied, at cotton, grist and lumber mill
work, but the number so employed is
small in comparison with the total that
might be made use Of
I'm Georgia and Alabama" says Hy-
drographer HOLSTER in a recent pros
pectus. these powers occur in the
heart of the cotton belt, and in many
instances near prosperous towns and
cities" How kind nature has been to
the section, Not only has she given
us the soil and the climate to grow the
cotton, but she has also placed right in
the heart of the cotton belt an abund-
ance of the cheapest known power
with which to spin and weave the fieecy
staple. By the Harvesting of our water
falls and rapids to spindles and looms,
we can practically send our cotton from
the fields to market as manufactured
products. New England cotton mills
employ water power profitably. They
have to haul their raw cotton hundreds
OF miles to the mills In Georgia and
Alabama the water powers are in or
adjacent to the cotton fields. The items
of freight and insurance on raw mate
rial are practically eliminated.
The value of our water powers is be-
coming better known every day, and it
may be confidently predicted that the
development of many new power sites
viii not be long delayed. The power is
wanted for milling, mining, running
street railways, lighting plants and
other purposes. Our running streams
constitute a recourse that is steadily
increasing in Importance.

The efforts on the part of members
of the House to pin one another down
to direct answers reminded Represent
ative Capron OF Rhode Island-one Of
the best story tellers in the House, by
the way-of an experience in the last
campaign, says the Washington Post.
Mr. Capron was very much bothered
while making speech by a man in
the audience who insisted on asking
questions to which he demanded either
yes" or mo- for an answer.
But there are some questions" fin
ally remarked Mr.. Capron, which can
not be answered by yes or no
II should like to hear one" scorn-
fully commented his annoyer.
Well" said Mr.. Capron. II think
can prove it. Have you quit beating
your wife? Answer yes or no
The crowd saw at once that Mr..
Capron had the man in trap. If he
said yes it was a confession that he
had been beating his wife; if he said
no it was an admission that he was
still indulging in the pastime.
Yes" or mo shouted everybody in
the hall, and iii the midst of the con-
fusion the man made his escape.

The more the ship subsidy bill is ex-
amined into. the less satisfactory is 4
found to everybody except the large
and rich steamship companies that
would be the principal and almost sole
beneficiaries. In the report made to
the Senate on the bill it was stated
that the sailing craft of the United
States would participate in the bounty
upon practically the same footing with
the steamships. Mr.. F. S. PendIeton
of New York, whose firm controls over
100 sail craft, says this is not correct.
The Senate report asserted that 267
square rugged vessels out of a total
of 1877 engaged in the foreign trade last
year would participate in the distribu-
ton. Mr.. Pendleton quotes the bill
and the report of the Commissioner of
Navigation to show that only IS Of
these vessels would be<eligible for the
subsidy list. and that their tonnage is
only 1881 tons. as against SOC, 2S7 tons
claimed by the Senate Committee. The
Senate report says that 537 schooners
on the Atlantic would receive sos, 4SS.
Mr.. Pendleton says there are only 27O
schooners on the Atlantic that could
be qualified under the provisions of the
DILL and that the whole fleet would
draw less than $4,000 per year.
The bill provides that each ship shar-
ing in the bounty must carry one an
prentice. to be taught seamanship and
navigation, and that the apprentice
must receive wages and provisions.
This applies to the small schooner trad
ing to Mexico as we'll as to the great
ocean steamship trading to Europe or
Asia. The apprentices wages and
Keep would amount to a mere baaa-
telle TO the steamship but they would
cut quite figure in the expense ac
count of small vessel operated with
crew of five or six men. Relatively
speaking 1t costs more to operate a
small vessel than large one, and vet.
according to Mr.. Pendleton. the small
vessels are Disseminated against bv
the ship subsidy bill. Practically all

= eAA III lat uOWn the COAST of
central and South America to Rio. and
across the ocean on the African coast
are shallow water ports. Large yes
sells cannot enter them. even if there
were trade demanding large cargoes.
The small American sail vessels are
the craft that must trade at these
ports: and in the shallow water ports
of Central and South America. served
by schooners. the trade of the United
States is better than that of any other
country. The small vessels. therefore.
are absolutely necessary to the Amer
lean dealer"
The foregoing is a brief summary of
a criticism of the pending bill by a j
man who is in favor of substituting
American shipping, but who insists on
a fair deal. 1t shows, if it shows any,
thing. that the bill was drawn rather
to put money into the pockets of GER
tain favorites of the Republican party
than to assist American shipping.

than it is amusing. Twain gives some

THE WHISKY Pill.

We noted the other day that
chemist in New York state had sue
ceeded in condensing and solidifying
whisky until he could place an ordi-
nary drink of the stuff into a pellet
the size of an average liver pill. What
possibilities there are in the invention,
What wealth ahead for the inventor.
if ne knows half as much about bust
ness as he does about chemistry! What
revolution in the ethics of drinking 4
the customs of the bbulous and the
methods of dispensing ardent bever-
agesl
If the chemist can reduce a drink of
whisky to pill that may be conceal
ed between the ends of the thumb and
foretinger, no doubt he can do the
same with wine. brandy, gin, cocktails.
etc. Therefore The man who likes his
drink may stock up a pill box with his
favorite tipples, slip the box into his
waistcoat pocket and HE him to the
theater, the meeting house or the tenn
perance lecture. There will be no oc-
casion for getting restless or uneasy
or for attracting attention by getting
up and going out A slight pretext at
coughing, a quick movement of the
hand to the mouth, with a handker-
chief to hide the hand. and the pellet
can be placed where 1T will do the most
good; and nobody will be the wiser. Or
the pellet holder may be neatly con-
trived in the handle of a cane or UNI
brella, from which the nip could be
taken in a moment of deep interest in
the proceedings before the audience.
There will be an entire change of
methods at banquet boards. Instead of
decanters or bottles and glasses, the
walters will pass around pretty lit
tie pill boxes of various colors, con-
tanning the proper beverages to go
with each course of the dinner The
cumbersome hip-pocket flask will be
done away with, and jug trade will
become obsolete. Purchasers will take
their condensed pints or gallons in lit
tie pasteboard boxes and bid defiance
to such menaces as breakage and leak
age.
The saloon will have to go out of
business. Nobody will want to
lean against a rosewood rail
and gaze into a plate glass mirror
while taking a pill. Carrie Nation and
her disciples will find their occupation
gone, since the liquor vender will be
able to put his stock in trade into his
pockets and walk away at the ap-
proach of danger. Prohibition laws will
be seriously interfered with, as it
would take an army of expert detec-
| tives to distinguish between jag pills
and liver pills, and the monopoly of
/ South Cardinals great moral institu-
tion," the dispensary, would be de-
stroyed. The whisky pill. meanwhile,
has not yet made it's appearance. 1t
would scarcely be wise. however, to
question its coming in commercial
quantities at an early day. In these
days of horseless carriages and wire
less telegraphs the liquidless drink
would not be marvellous.

The Houston Post (Dem.) says:
"The magnitude of the Boer war will
be better understood when it is re-

Discussing the beef trust the New

great railway and industrial corpora
tions, which are the subject of so much
legislation and litigation, this meat
combination, covering the country with
its network of perfected organization,
presents no formal consolidation
Messrs. Swift, Armour ct. al. have
merely a gentlemen's agreement like
that into which Mr.. Morgan brought
the anthracite coal magnates many
years ago. Just how they can be
reached is not very clear. but some
means must be devised. for the virtual
monopoly of an absolute necessary of
life is intolerable."
The Philadelphia Record DEM
says: TT would have been better to
skimp little in the matter of pleni-
potentiaries for Cuba after Nav 20
and to have been a little more lavish
in the way of tariff reduction. Presi-
dent Roosevelt would not have been
thought undignified or importunate if
in his special message recommending
provision for ambassadors and consuls
he had taken renewed occasion to re-
fer to plain duty. What Cuba needs
along with her independence is suffi-
cient financial stiffening to enable her
to stand alone. DR.. Wood. who has
felt the pulse Of the patient, prescribes
a so per cent. reduction of tariff du-
ties but the President cooes like a
sucking dove and generalizes.S
