m 1880 the number of spindies fn
 cotton mills at the South was 667.00p. and the capital invested was $21. .000.- 900; now the spindles are 9,470,00O and the capital behind them Is $780, 900. South Carolina Is the second State in the Union In the manufacture of cotton fabrics, Massachusetts being the first; but the man is now old enough to vote who will see more cotton fibre turned into cotton cloth In South Carolina than in all New England combined. Why should New England, where there are six months of winter, spin and weave cotton krown in south Carolina where there is no winter at all? For a long time it was said that the finer grades of cotton fabrics could not be produced at the South, but the experience of South Carolina has uptripped that no- ton completely. They are making twelve yards of cotton goods from one pound of lint cotton in South Carolina
 at this very moment The day is not distant when even Old England must yield to the cotton mills of the South.

The First Religious federation.

Buddhism, the religion Of all others
that most resembles Christianity in its
spirit, has many noble traditions run
ming back to great antiquity, but like
the Christian religion, its holy places,
the scenes Of it's birth, are now in the
possession of people of another faith.
Buddh Gaya, the home Of Buddha and
the center from which he made his mis-
sionary journeys, is like Jerusalem,
owned by another people, and only
open to pilgrimages of the faithful.
-Four years ago a party of Japanese,
devout Buddhists, made pilgrimage
over the scenes Of early Buddhism, and
some account Of the journey is given
by Count Kosui Otani, head of the
party and the highest Buddhist official
in Japan, in the current Century. The
party travelled in northern India and
in mountain Businesses of the Himal-
ayas, where ancient temples and relics
are to be found. They found the old
temple Of Buddh Gaya, the most sacred
spot to all Buddhists, now in possession
Of Brahnlin priests, who worship a
statue of Budda as the ninth incarna-
ton Of Vishnu. The cradle of Bndd-
hism was swept first by the relapse
into the cruelties and multiplied gods
Of Brahmanism, then by the Moham-
medan invasion, and now is part OF
King Edward IS Indian empire. 4

the things found by the japanese was
an ancient inscription, carved on a
great block in the mountains. It was a
proclamation by the Buddhist emperor
Asoka, and dates from 256 B. G. It
is undoubtedly the earliest edict of re-
ligious liberation in existence. In this
proclamation the people are warned
that it is no honor to their own sect, or
religion to disparage that Of others,
because 'the sects Of other people de-
serve reverence for one reason or an
other.' " .ss@
How many millions of lives and what
rivers Of blood would have been saved
if this spirit had prevailed the world
over since those words were uttered.
The cult Of the militant Mohammed
from first to last has conquered by the
sword, and for many centuries the
Christian faith was perverted from its
spirit and purpose, in the belief that
the death of heretics did God service.
The spirit of Christianity is tolera-
ton, and in modern days there is an
end to murder done by men called
Christians in the name Of religion.
The faith Of Buddha, however, has
never had such blot. It has been
crowded on very hand by aggressive
followers of other beliefs, but has
never met sword with sword except in
self-defense. It is a mystic, tenuouE
and impractical faith at best, altho il
has always been pervaded with the
spirit of altruism.

Writers in Politics.

The success of Winston Churchill s
first essay in politics seems to aston
ish Americans more than a similar feat
would: in England. In the British isles
they are accustomed to the writer in
politics. In the present liberal cabinet
three principal secretaries are literary
men. Mr.. Haldane, the secretary for
war, is known as a philosophic writer
Of great power and erudition. Mr.. Biz
rell. the minister of education. whose
bill for free schools has wracked the
island and nearly wrecked the admin
istration, is an essayist OF singular
purity of style. Mention of Mr.. Nor
ley, the biographer of Gladstone and
secretary for India, calls up the pic
ture of literary man before it does
that of a politician. The secretary Tor
Scotland, Mr.. Bryce, is historian OF
two hemispheres and highly esteemed
in both. All of these men have achieved
administrative success and are power
on the platform.
America has some scholarly men in
the public service, but they have been
Of two kinds, practical men like Roose-
welt, whose writings are not to be
classed as the highest type of htera-
ture. but rather the inevitable product
Of minds overlooking with ideas demand
ing expression, and literary men IKE
Hawthorne and Lowell, whose political
preferment was an effect Of their ca
reer in letters. We have had few men
of the type of Morley, Disraei and
Bryce, in whom the artistic and the
practical ran parallel courses. Inc
nearest to this kind of man in the pub
lie life of the day is Henry Cabot
Lodge of Massachusetts, who IS re-
spectacle literary figure and s'wlthal a
very shrewd and nepotic politician. Inc
late Senator Hoar was another lwho'
without having written so much as
Lodge, has written better, and whose
speeches and public papers, like those
Of the late Senator Davis Of Minneso-
ia. gave evidence of genuine scholar
ship. =
But even this type of public man Is
having a hard time to maintain hlm-
self. The tendency Of politics IS SO
much toward the man of money and
commercial power that the feat OF
Churchill in organizing an effective op'
position to deep-rooted oligarchy IN
New Hampshire is the more remark
able. - -

A Negro's Solution of che Negro
Problem.

The great trouble with the negro OF
the sonth is too much freedom. This is
the singular but well-fortifed position
Of a Well-informed colored man VINO dis
ctsses in this paper the race problem
which harnesses the south.
He calls attention to the condition
Of the negro in slavery and to the TACT
that for nearly two centuries anu a
half he never knew what individual
initiative was even in the most simple
relations of life. Even his absence
from the plantation was regulated by
his master.
Emancipation brought liberty to go
where he pleased and to do as he
pleased, and the consequences have
been disastrous. Mr.. Mitchell is seek
ing to organize influences for his bet
terment by associating the best colored
men for united effort, with which he
seeks also to get the cooperation OF
white employers. He does not suggest
anything approaching peonage or forci
BILE restraint, but rather the influence
Of the best of his own race around the
irresponsible negro supplemented will
such restraints as the white employer
can properly impose as condition Of
employment. This is a very brief out
line of the general plan, but it contem

A New Way to Irish Home Rule


English politics is disturbed over the
recent use of the kings prerogative to
establish a constitution for the Trans
vaal. A bill was first introduced in the
commons, but as it seemed slow
process of getting constitution the
prime minister established it forthwith
by the use Of the kings prerogative.
The conservatives were inclined at first
to make fuss about it, but when they
remembered that Mr.. Balfour by the
use of the same prerogative changed
the whole constitution of the war office,
created a council of officers and abol-
ished the time-honored office of COM
mander-in-chief, they found it more
convenient to say nothing.
= 1t appears that there is an essential
difference between the power of the
crown and the power Of the wearer of
the crown. The royal prerogative is
something aside from the royal person.
King Edward could not exercise the
royal prerogative without getting him
self in trouble, but the minister of the
day can. >. !. ..e.E*S
It is as if President Roosevelt had
created the general staff for the army
by a letter addressed to the secretary
of war or had granted the interstate
commerce commission power over rates
by proclamation. Such acts would be
clearly illegal and would subject the
president to impeachment. But in
Great Britai In the minister can use the
flexible constitution of the empire in
some such ways without danger to him
self. The only risk he runs is in in
censing the country to the point of de-
manding his retirement.
The tory interest in the recent exer-
else Of the prerogative in South Africa
is accentuated by the fear that the
same process may be used to extend
home rule to Ireland The Irish agri-
cultural act of 1899 created a statu-
tory council of agriculture for Ireland
This council is partly nominated and
partly elected by the county councils
and the act empowers the government
to- confer upon it any administrative
powers held by any other public de-
partment in Ireland. It would be quite
possible for the government by use of
the royal prerogative to make this coun.
Gil the foundation of an Irish parlia-
ment by handing over to it the power
over the police, railways, licensing, edu-
cation and the Door law administration.
Ireland would then have her parlia.
ment without government bill having
run the gauntlet Of the house of lords
or become the engrossing subject of
English politics thru a sultry debate
The best s'opinion in, England; is that
it is only necessary to get the Irish
parliament going in order to dissipate
the fears of those unionists who believe
that it means separation or civil war
Some people do not believe it mean.

A woman writer who betrays some
symptoms of: familiarity with her sub
ject, counsels American women not. to-
be too easily carried away with stories
of the triumphs of American women in
London society. For an American wom-
an to succeed in society at the British
capital is matter of money, she de-
clares, and then Of more money, and
lastly, of some more money. Society
in London has many circles, but it has
but one center, the king. To meet the
king, to talk to an old bald-headed
man who has not always been as good
as he should be, appears to be the
goal toward which all American ener-
gies abroad tend. For this American
men squander fortunes and American
women fret themselves to death. Won
derful are the ways of sassiety.'

Yellow Journalism and Race Riots

The Fulton county grand jury in con-
sidering the causes of the recent mob
outbreak in Atlanta places large share
of the blame upon the yellow jour-
nalism Of the Atlanta News, an eve
ming paper which on the fateful Sat-
urday evening when the lives Of all the
colored people in the city, innocent or
guilty, hung as by a%thread, snapped
the thread with a screeching editorial
appeal to assassination. Il, -.>.-,~r@'
It had it's effect, for the streets were
soon filed with a raging crowd of armed
and insane men who began the dread
full work of asasulting, manning and
butchering negroes on the streets, in the
cars, even dragging them from their own
homes to wreak red revenge upon the
innocent for the crimes of men most of
whom were already under arrest.
The police lost control of the situa-
ton. Drunk with blood, the mob ragged
thru the streets day and night and
turned the capital of the south into a
hell for three days. Now the reaction
has come. Thingssare seen in their true
proportion. It is known that on the
day when the mob took possession of
Atlanta but two attempts at rape had
been made by negroes, that both had
been averted and the assailants placed
under arrest. On such slim grounds the
call to a race war was uttered and the
response thereto now constitutes At
lanta 8 shame, - ~ ,
If out of this event there shall come
some Encouragement Of the ideas Of the
south toward the negro; if it shall be
seen that his passions are not peculiar
to his color but are shared by the white
man, and that the violence of the black
criminal is hardly more dangerous to
society than the anarchy of the white
brute, then there: may be a revival OF
the spirit of fair play. The black devil
will not be coddled or concealed. His
own people5.w repudiate him and aid
his punishment. But the time has come
when the black man does not have tc

cause he is black. The white anarchist
has shown hiHself q coward. He has
disgraced thY. aaps + J, utilization d
