SOUTHERN MINERALS.


j. A. Holmes, chief of the department
of mines and metallurgy of the St
Louis Worlds Fair, has sent to each
state commissioner applying for space
in the exhibit a letter urging that tbs
exhibits of minerals and ores made as
comprehensive and representative as
possible. He points out that neiihel
the mining engineer nor the general
public is impressed by large specimens
of ores selected especially for eXhibi-
ton. Both classes desire an exhibi
that will illustrate not only the average
richnes of the deposit, put the country
rock contiguous to it, as the latter is
the basis upon which the mining engi-
neer makes his investigation Il is
suggested, in order that the samples
may represent actual resources, they
should be about four or six inches il
diameter and selected from different
parts of the vein or lode. They should
be accompanied by specimens OF tho
hanging Wall OE FOOl. Tic lCOI wall VI
floor, the gangue rock or ASSOCIATED
minerals, and the typical country rock.
This is an Important pointer for those
in charge of getting up the Virginia
exhibit, and if the suggestion is carried
out the investigatorat the Worlds Fail
will have an opportunity of compar
ing the actual resources of our state
with those of other states, and Virginia
is ready and anxious to enter into suel
contest. These suggestions, as the
Baltimore Manufacturers Record says
might well be considered by all South
ern exhibitors. The South, and par
ticularly Virginia, is rich in minerals,
and a proper display Of these riches
with which nature has endowed this
section is sure to greatly impress al
who visit the great exposition at st.
Louis.

THE CHRONICLES ADVICE.

The Chicago Chronicle advocates the
nomination OF Mr. Cleveland, and ad-
dresses a few admonitory remarks to
the democrats of the South. While
the attitude of the Chronicle has not
been such as to invite the confidence
or inspire the esteem of Southern
democrats, it's utterances are not with
out interest.
In asserting that Southern leader
ship can be exceedingly influential il
restoring the democratic organization
to its old-time principles If it shall be
so disposed" the Chronicle is unqiies-
tionably correct. Aside from the mum
Der of votes which the South casts il
a convention, it exerts a moraf inAu-
ence of considerable potentiality. The
South has been the most powerful fac.
tor in democratic success and probahly
to the South alone is due the continued
existence Of the organization. Having
actually stated the influence OF
Southern leadership the Chronicle con
tinues not so wisely.
Having cast it's fortunes in two
presidential campaigns with the popu
listic democrats of the far West and
the socialistic democrats of some OF
the states in the middle West would
it not now be the part OF wisdom for
the South to renew its alliance with
the genuine democrats of the North
and do what it can to rectify the mis-
takes of the past?
"The democrats of the South turned
the scale in favor of Organism in Chi
cago in 1896. If they are interested in
any way in maintaining a democratic
party at the North they will present
~ have an excellent opportunity to UNI
do that blunder.
Grover Cleveland can be nominated |
and elected if there is sagacity enoguh
SAln Southern democratic leadership to-
. it loose from populisrn and by favor
ing his nomination let the ,trinmers
and dodgers at the North know thatl
there is to be a democratic party in
the republic once more"
The tone Of this is not altogether cal
culated to establish harmony without
which the chances of the democratic
party for success are not worth con
sidering
