Mr. Alderman TIMOTHY PArrKR SuLLI-
VAN may be right in saying that the Penn
sylvania franchise will not be granted by
the Board OF Aldermen But when he adds,
by way Of self justification for heading the
opposition. that there Ia no public de-
mand for it," he raises either suspicion
around himself or grave doubts IA TO the
soundness Of his opinions.

Netamorphosis Of the south.

FfOf1 IN lNuNI tOnJfNNIOn
The manufacturing Industries OF the South have
grown rapidly and yet with 80 little spcctacul, !
Incident that We presume nine men OF ten IN the
South to day st believe that the greatest interest
OF the Southern States Is bound up In agricultural
pursuits and products
The figures reported by the census returns show
that while In issO the agricultural products OF the
South exceeded In value that OF It's manufactures
By 500 10000 the balance has been turned to the
other account during the twenty years Just past.
that In 1900 the value OF southern uiactured
products exceeded the value ~ our agricultural
products by $40 O.ooOi
II r'ust he remembered. too, that the number
OF people IN the South engaged In agriculture In
1900 WAS SO per con,um more than we've so engaged
In issO
These are most Significant figures, and n vii
take the wsest sort OF Statesman to- hgutc out their
effects upon the Industrial. economic and political
policies Of the southern people within the next
two decades.

Thought is said to be free. That's the
reason nobody cares much for it. The re-
tired merchant in this town who killed him
self Wednesday night because he was 50
years old and thought that man Of fifty
was too old to live, had a right to his opinion.
but that opinion seems laboriously wrong

Football.

The usual fall and winter marrying of
football is going on Here and there a
newspaper finds the game a good thing
TO shrek at on dull day. Divers worthy
clergymen read of accidents To PLAYERS
and preach sermons full Of indignat ion
against the brutality of the sport. For
example, Bishop MORRISON of the Meth
odist Church said in a sermon delivered
in Louisville Sunday:
When the Y. NJ. c. A. and many OF the churches
schools nave come TO sanction athletics which are
full OF a r'urderols spirit and whose records show
fnr the present year fourteen killed outright and
seventy seriously hurt, more than have ever been
killed or crippled In the United States by prize.

state OF things has obtained 1t Is time for serious
thought II &c to cal! halt and inquire for reform.
Tor local enactment that will protect the lives OF
our young Iucl."
Az there are at least twenty-five men
in every football mat CHI even if we take
no account OF substitutes, the percentage
of football accidents ought 10 be at least
eleven times as great rs that of prize
fight accidents, even il there were no
more football games than prizehghts.
As foot ball is being kicked in about every
city, town and village where there are
feet, the good Bishops comparison be-
longs to the region of fantastic unmeant
humor rather than of austere statistics.
Prize fighting. itself, however an ad-
vantageous subject for defamation and
moralizing, was far from being field Of
carnage Indeed, it was and is an al
most ridiculously safe diversion. much
fuller of humbug than Of danger.
