WASHINGTON AND THE SOUTH
Chance for the Capital Ci:y to Become

From the Financial Review.

From the Financial Review.
There is no longer a disposition from
any source to look upon the CONNER
clal Importance Of the group Of south
ern states aSkance or to question their
supremacy in raising cotton. The
south has advanced to a commanding
position in the production Of cotton
n tobacco, having in the former a
monopoly, or practically SO. The south
has at length come to FsT own though
not by rapid or spectacular strides.
Best of all, it has come to be recog-
nized that her prosperity rests upon as
secure a basis as that of any other part
Of the country.
The states where cotton Is king"
maintain and will continue 70 maintain
their distinctive features Of social and
| political lie, being essentially as much
a political entity as they are an in
| dustrial entity. Dramatically and in
the products of their soil, as well as III
their social and economic views, they
differ widely from b north. The
| course of a stream could not be more
| marked or natural thar this analogy
| To doubt it would be TO doubt the OpiH-
ion of leading southern men who nave
| recently spoken upon the subject. Be
fore a recent convention OF cotton
| growers in the south these views were
expressed:
In the field Of textile industry the
south need not fear competition. W.
need no legal enactment, national OF
state, TO protect US. When God created
the earth, marked the bounds of sol
and climate. He threw about the south
a tariff law as eternal az His eyerlast-
ing law. And through bitterness and
a fearful experience we have Learned

righteousness and temperance, withou'
malice or retributive justice, will W
clOthe the world. feed the world, shOe
the world. while we maintain our own
financial, social, and commercial su'
premacy.'
This was a brave u~tterance, and IL

The outbreak Of cholera in the Phil

The Turkish Marriage.

There are few barbarous tribes in
the most benighted Of continents where
courtship and marriage are more gro
tesquely conducted than in European
Turkey. 1t is lucky fog the Turkish
sutton that he need not even pretend
to be a lover. No ardOr could survive
h chilling formalities that have to
be gone through. A Turkish young
man may, of course, want a wife but
he has nothing at all to do with look
ing for one. That is the business Of
his mother Il female relations, who
visit several manageable girls and
select one, with whom the bridegroom
then exchanges a ring-by messenger.
On the day of the betrothal con-
tract an imam gets the assent of the
bride-elect through the dOor of the
harem, and the two families dine to-
gether, neither of the two persons most
concerned being present. On the we'd
ding day the brides trousseau is taken
to her husbands house, while she is
taken the round Of her relatives, and
there is much dancing at every house,
after which her male relatives exercise
all malign spirits with swords and
spears, in dumb show Of fighting. Fin
nally, evening draws IN, the bride
reaches her husbands home, and
everybody clears out, leaving her and
her husband to see each other for the
first time, and to Grape acquaintance
as hest they can.
Under the Did Moslem law, even
speaking acquaintance would have
been impossible, as the bride was
doomed to absolute silence for a whole
month. Now her husband gives her
q present at meeting, and she may
speak.-LOndOn Globe.

The Industrial News whose COM
pany we believe claims Marion Butler
as n of its stockholders and which
is supposed to be the organ of the ad-
ministration republicans of the state,
seems to be anxious to be the foster
mother of the democratic party
also. We should think it would
have all it could do to run the
republican party and help keep
alive the old populist wing of that
same organization. 1t seems, though,
that We are mistaken and that it has
a surplus of energy which il is willing
to devote to the aid of the democrats
in the management of their affairs.
We suggest to The Industrial News
that it husband its extra amount of
energy until after the 10th for it may
find that after hat date it will need
all its forces to keep kicking within its
own boundaries. After that date if it
has any surplus political advice to give
out over and above what is needed to
keep its own party lei in line then it
may amuse itself by making voluntary
contributions of such of this state ar
ticle as it has on hand to the demo-
Gratis. AS it is a g~catuitous Offering
of course il cannOt expect it to be &C
cepted as a matter Of course. but only
with the same degree of suspicion as
it would receive like advice from its
political enemy.
