The recent high compliment paid
to Southern people visiting London
by great London daily has attract
ed much attention all over the coun-
try. That paper, commenting on the
increasing numbers of tourists from
the South visiting the British metro
polls, stated without reserve that not
only were they fully equal to Ameri-
cans from other parts of the Repu-
Bile in intelligence and shrewdness,
but that in tact, courtesy and other
social graees they were decidedly sup
erior and for that reason their pre-
senee was most agreeable to the
British people. All this moves the
Washington Post, great independ-
ent paper with Republican leanings,
but no sectional dislike, to write the
truth about our people in the follow
ing eloquent fashion and cap it with
a splendid prophecy:
Commercial and business statistics
have been revealing, in their cold.
austere way, for years the rapid
change taking place in the south.
The Post has noted with genuine
pleasure from time to time the evil
dences Of substantial, solid and con-
sentative development in every sec
ton of the South, but nothing in the
statistics or The Posts comments has
SO pointedly emphasized the pros
pertty of the South as the observa-
ton of the London paper. The South
is coming back to its own, and COM
ing fast The people of that section,
energetic, Industrious and frugal by
inheritance, in spite of all that has
been fallaciOusly thought and writ
ten OF them to the contrary, are
working out their own material as
well as intellectual destiny in their
own way and with their own resour-
ces. No such recovery from the para
Lying shock and ruinous devastation
of war is revealed by written history
as that which the South is now and
has been for more than twenty years
undergoing. With courage unsur-
passed in the record of the human
race, the men and women of the
South have been at work these four
decades building up the waste places,
and with indomitable pirit, which
only the genius of Macaulay could
picture in its true eolors, they have
struck, with its glories and triumphs,
and forgiVing those who assailed and
| traduced them either through ignor-
ance or wanton pusillanimity. Theirs
has been hard task, indeed, but
they are mastering it-they have
mastered it While it is always ex-
tremely hazardous to make predic-
tons about an individual or a peo-
pie, we make bold to indulge in the
prophecy that it will not be a long
time now until the South resumes its
historic primacy in American af-
fairs"

After investigating the effects of
the storm in Pensacola, Mayor Bliss
of that city has given to the As
ISOLATED Press lengthy statement
in which he goes into details and
characterizes as gross exaggeration
the stories sent all over the country
of the stupendous loss inflicted upon
that city. The damage had been esti-
mated at $5.0O0,OOO in the aggre-
gate, but Mayor Bliss cuts OF four
ifths of that and says that $1,000
600 will cover the property loss. 1t
is good news that the metropolis of
West Florida was not hit nearly so
hard as had been reported. And
this is doubtless true of Mobile also.
The empire State of New York has
seen many great political battle in
her day, but the biggest of them all
is about to open there now in the
contest between Hearst and Hughes
for the Office of Governor. Hearst
is really lighting for the Democratic
presidential nomination-perhaps not
two years hence, but next time-and
he is a man of such extraordinary re-
sources and savage fighting qualities
that he may win in his present con-
test, even against the whole con-
sentative sentiment of the State in
both parties. That sentiment is for
Hughes, with the trusts and corpora
tons TO boot; but Hearst has the big
gest half of New York Democracy,
the disgruntled Republicans and the
solid labor union vote back of him,
and with all these elements seething
in the same caldron it will be a fight
that viii dwarf any other in the
Union.

Favorable Comments.

Representative Rhodes has re-
ceived much favorable comment
on his speech in Congress in favor
of the railroad rate bill. He is
perfectly familiar with the qnes-
tions which concern the best in
terests of the people and he can
always be relied upon to champion
the cause that tends to benefit the
ople.-Greenville Sun,
After six years Of representation
in Congress by the Hon. Edward
Robb, no wonder the Democratic
editors are loath to admit that Mr.
Rhodes, the new Republican mem
Der has actually delivered a speech
which at once placed him in much
prominence beforetlat taugustbody.
Mr.. Rhodes rate bill speech was
not only actually delivered in Con-
gress, but it is one of the best that

something it has not been, except
in name. in six years.-FarmiDg-

, The trusts are still several laps
ahead of the lawyers and the courts
and running easy. 1t promises to
be long race and stern chance
for the law in its endeavor to regu-
late the trust evil. with every
probability of its being tired out
and beaten in the long run. The
courts have now been after several
of the combines for three or fo1r
years without any marked result.
1t is true, three or four members of
the Beef Trust were fined, but
what of that; they paid their fines
and went right on with their trust
ing. They are at it now Just as
bad as if they had never heard of
the law or fines. Putting those
who break the antitrust laws in
the penitentiary might have a better
effect than fines, but even the fear
of the penitentiary stripes will not
deter men for the sake of the gain
they see in it from taking the
chances. TO our mind there is
pat one true relief from the trusts
in sight, and that is for the people
to absorb them. Yes, you may
cry "socialism;" but that is what
even our conservative friends will
have to get around to after while.

1t Is Wrong.

The opponents of Socialism are
continually claiming that great
wealth is the reward of great brain
power. TO show the absurdlty of
this claim, let me instance the case
of the infant son of John n. Brown
of Providence, Il. |. Six years
ago the boys parents died, leaving
fortune of four millions. In the
six years since, this fortune has
grown, according to the press dis
patches, to eleven millions. sup
pose this seven millions taken from
the working class of the nation is
because of the wonderful brain
ability of this infant. Any system
that gives to one baby millions and
to others poverty, is wrong, and
cannot be defended by any reason
able person. In the Cooperative
Commonwealth all wealth will be-
long to the whole people, and each
child will be given every oppor-
tunity of developing every faculty
that he will, but none shall have
the condition in which he may de-
velop ut the expense of thousands
of others. The many ase poor and
help to give these millions to the
Brown child. Why should the
many support system that treats
them thus? Why not have con
ditions that favor all instead of a
few ?-Appeal to Reason.
