The Progress of the South.

Every little while some Southern
gratifying and surprising collection of
statistics showing the industrial
growth and progress of that section
of the country. The new South has
been a fruitful theme for writer's and
speakers during the past generation,
and yet every little while there has
been abundant and unwelcome evil
dence that the old South has by no
means passed away. The South needs
more capital, more labor. more enter
prise. less demagoguery. less race pre-
judice and less political stupidity; but
in spite of its heavy handicaps it has
shared to no small degree in the
bountiful prosperity which the whole
country has been enjoying in recent
years. In some parts of the South, to
be sure old-fashioned methods prevail.
and the people seem unable to get out
of the rut that they have been in for
generations. In other parts, however.
the spirit of hustle is in the air, and
Industrial expansion has been going
en- at splendid rate.
Where the South had only s257, 000.-
900 invested in manufacturing indus
tries in 1880, it has now 81 100000
so invested In 1880 the total capital
| invested in cotton industries in the
South was only O,OOO, 900: Now it has
more than s2OO,OOO,OOO. During the
| first six months of the present year
| go new banks and trust companies
were incorporated in the South with
an aggregate capital of s10.000,00
These are welcome indications that
the South is going forward along in
dustrial and financial lines. Could it
| only break the bonds of it's political
bigotry, give the negro a fair show as
a fellow citizen, and remember that
the North has always been a better
friend to it than it has been to itself,
the rest would be easy.

MAINE EDITORIAL COMMENT.
"honesty" of Maine Democrats.
(Somerset Reporter.)

(Somerset Reporter)
Just previous to their conventions
the Democratic party of the State
ciamored for a campaign of honesty.
claiming that the Republicans were
inSincere in their position on the
liquor question. Now behold. The
campaign has scarcely begun when the
leaders of the Democratic party pro-
claim upon the housetops that the real
object of rcSubmiSSion is, the repeal of
the prohibitory law, and the substitu-
ton of license and local option.
Where is their honesty? What be-
comes of their platform in which they
declare they want resubmission in
order that "the question of consti-
tutional prohibition may be settled for
a generation and may be removed
from political discussion" We are
glad that they have shown the clOvcn
foot thus early in the campaign, so
that no one need be deceived. A vote
for Davis. for Governor would be a
vote for striking down the prohibitory
law, and the substitution of license
and local option. The choice is to
sustain the rum element in it's cam
paign of destruction. or to stand by
Gov. Cobb in all that is best for the in
terests of our beloved State. The
lines are distinctly drawn. and let no
intelligent man be deceived.

Or else to stay where ocean spray
Is charged for in the bills.
All hail July! The month when pie
For picnicking is made,
And young folks eat their ported meat
Down in some leafy glade
All hail July, The month to buy
A ticket and a berth,
Give care the slip and take a trip
Across your mother earth.
All hail July The time when rye
Combined with ice and mint
And other things, unto life brings
A soft and roster tint.

The Conditions in Bangor.
portland Express.)


One of the claims of Democratic
paper, making a weak defence of it's
efforts to mislead by the pretence that
the saloons are open in Bangor. is that
it has taken it's testimony from Repub-
lican sources. Months ago paper,
which is sometimes Republican. sent a
representative, who is never a Repub-
lican, to Bangor for story of the
conditions there. and it is this report
upon which the Democrats base their
pretense that the local officers of Pc
nobscot County have not been doing
their duty in Bangor Now an enter
prising paper is not willing to take
second hand reports that are months
old as a basis of information upon
which to found its arguments.
Modern Journals get information at
first hand. If the Democratic papers
now claiming that the saloons in Ban
COR are open were up to date they
would send reliable men to Bangor 70
investigate the facts. That is the only
way in which to get at information
that is worth anything. Having taken
pains to investigate the matter the
EXPRESS knows whereof it speaks.
If the organs of the saloons would
take the same amount of trouble, ana
go to part of the same expense, and
print what is learned for the informa-
ton of the public they would cut out
the ground from under themselves
completely. And we assume that is
the reason why no effort has been
made to get at the facts.
