4 DECISION AGAINST THE SKY
SCRAPER.

1t seems easy enough to prevent the
erection of tall public buildings in Bos-
ton. Perhaps the erection of such
buildings-that is, buildings of the sky
scraping class-in New York or any
other city, could easily be prevented.
In Boston the trustees of the West
minister Chambers Company obtained
permission to erect a sky-scraper on
Copley Square. one of the finest sec
tons OF the city. The site of the pro-
posed building was next to the Museum
of Fine Arts.
When the building had attained the
hight of eight stories, the trustees of
the Museum Of Fine Arts asked the
Legislature to prohibit the erection of
building on Copley Square higher
than ninety feet, and that body COM
piled with their request. The Attor-
ney General of Massachusetts then took
out an injunction against the trustees
of the Westminster Chambers Compa-
ny. The case was carried to the United
States Supreme Court. and that tri-
bunal on Wednesday upheld the injunc-
ton. The trustees of the Westminster
Company will have to cut their build
ing down to ninety feet. 1t is proba-
BILE that if a similar proceeding were
taken in New York against the cree
ton of sky-scrapers it would have the
approval of the courts.
There has been a great deal of COM
plaint of the Flatiron sky-scraper in
New York 1t is claimed that it causes
the wind to strike the buildings on the
opposite side with such force as to
smash in their windows. and it is dam
gerous during high winds to cross the
streets in its immediate vicinity. In
view OF the decision in the case of the
Boston slSy-scraper it would not be
surprising if an effort should be made
to force the owners of the Flatiron
building to lower that building several
stories. The tall office buildings In
New York do not add anything to the
attractiveness of that city. On the con-
trary they detract from it.

ONE REsrLT OF A SCANDAL.

It is said that as one result of the
| Lessler-Doblin scandal which attract
ed the attention OF the country few
weeks ago the Committee on Naval
Affairs will be entirely reorganiZed
when the committees of the next Con-
gress are appointed. The President is
reported as being anxious that there
shall be such a reorganization. He
takes a deep interest in the navy, be-
Heving that it ought to be greatly
strengthened. and that-warships of the
most effective character should be
built in preference to those Of an eX-
perimental kind.
If the statements in regard to the
Committee on Naval Affairs are well
founded it is time that the committee
was reorganized. One of the stories
told of it is that it is not divided on
party lines. but on lines growing out
of the advocacy of the interests Of diff
ferent shipbuilding companies.
It will be recalled that the LESSER
Doblin scandal was in reference to
boats of the Holland Submarine Boat
Company. 1t seems that that company
has some earnest advocates on the
committee, and so have the companies
which construct battleships. 1t is al
legged that so bitter have the MEM
bers Of these two factions become that
they speak of each other in the harsh
est terms outside of the committee
room.
If the committee had succeeded in
getting to the bottom of the LESSER
Doblin scandal it is not improbable
that state of affairs would have been
disclosed that would show that
the lobby has much more to do with
the building of the new navy than it
ought. The understanding is that Mr..
Cannon, who is to be the Speaker in
the next Congress, is in accord with
the President in respect to the Com
mittee on Naval Affairs. Some re-
marks of his are being quoted to show
that a thorough reorganization of the
committee may be expected
The people are proud of the navy and
it's achievements. They are willing
that money shall be spent in making
it effective and in every respect up
to-date. They don't want the money
appropriated for new ships wasted.
And they don't want vast sums thrown
away in the building of naval vessels
that are of doubtful value.
No doubt there is q new sort of
boat for the navy offered to the Com
mittee on Naval Affairs every month,
and every one of them is doubtless sup
ported by a strong lobby. A Commit
tee on Naval Affairs that is strong
enough to think for itself and that will
not be influenced by lobbyists is need
ed at this time when so much money
is being spent on the navy.

Those who have not given special at
tention to the matter do not realize
how great the industrial development
that has taken place in the South
within the last few years is, nor with
what rapidity this development is go
ing on. It is of course most marked
in the states of North Carolina. South
Carolina, Georgia and Alabama. In
this state mills of one kind and an
other are being projected and erected
all the time, and money is flowing into
Alabama and Tennessee freely for in
.Vestment in iron and steel plants.
1t has just been announced from
Chattanooga that syndicate OF
Pittsburg capitalists have purchased
10000 acres of the richest iron lands
in Tennessee, for the sum of $5,OOO,OOO-
It is the purpose Of this syndicate to
develop this property. They will erect
great mills for making pig iron and
also structural steel. IN the course Of
a very few years the output Of these
mills will be so great that it will have
a value of many millions of dollars
yearly.
1t has been said that one of the rea-
sons why the iron resources Of the
South have not been developed more
rapidly is that it is difficult to get first
class worlmen in Southern iron and
steel mills. owing to the climate-that
at Birmingham and other places en-
ployes in iron and steel mills break
down much sooner than the employees
in the iron and steel mills of the North
90, and that they cannot accomplish
as much work in a day.
We do not know how much truth
there is i'm this statement. but it is
probabl that it is based upon the old
idea that white men cannot stand
severe and steady manual labor In the
South But that idea is gradually be-
ing dispelled In all the occupations
white men are employed, and in the
hottest days of summer carpenters
and brick masons are at work all over
the South. In slavery time it was
thought that only negroes could plant,
hoe and harvest cotton. Now a big
share of the cotton crop is made and
harvested by white labor. In Texas
pretty nearly the entire cotton crop is
the product of white labor.
The South is coming to the front,
industrially and in every other way.
Unless all signs fail she will be man.
ufacturing the greater part of her cot
ton crop within the next quarter of a
century. She has iron ore enough to
supply the world with iron and steel
for a century, and the coal with which
to turn the ore into such products as
are needed in the worlds markets.
The South's future is certain to be
great one.

A LONG FIGHT ENDED.

The fight that was made for the adj
mission of Arizona, New Mexico, Okla
homa and the Indian Territory into
the Union was a long and strongly
contested one. and at one time, owing
TO the confidence in the skill of SEN
ator Quay as a manipulation of polit-
ical affairs, it. was thought by many
that it would be successful. The Re
publican leaders, however, had deter
mined that the bin admitting these
territories to statehood, should not
pass, and in order to defeat it they
took the risk of an extra session of
the next Congress.
OF course they say that neither Ari-
iona nor New Mexico has the neces-
sary population, and that the popula-
lions they have are largely composed
of people who do not speak the Eng
fish language and have but the
slightest interest in the republic and
it's institutions, but if they had want
ed them admitted they would have
been satisfied with both the number
and the character of the people.
For some reason, not explained,
probably because both territories
would have sent Democrats to the
House and the Senate, they did not
want them admitted, and they voted
down every reasonable proposition
that was made. The proposition that
was made by the Democrats on Thurs
day, namely, that the President be
authorized to admit Arizona by proc
lamation as soon as she had 100000
inhabitants, seemed to be fair, but the
Republicans would not entertain it,
1t will be recalled that the omnibus
bill-the bill admitting the territories
passed the House at the last session
with but little opposition. 1t seems
therefore that the opposition of the
Republican leaders to the bill develop
ed since the bill passed the House. The
reason for the Senate's opposition was
undoubtedly political Perhaps the
next Congress will take a different
view of the application of these ter
ritories for statehood.

Hayden Hall, a negro who lives in
