The Sawfish.
The sawfish has formidable weap-
on of killing in the fat. bony sword,
armed on each side with about twenty
large bony teeth. The sawfish rushes
into a shoal Of fish and slashes to the
right and to the left. In sea fights
sometimes whales have been killed by
sawfish, and the saw sometimes has
been driven through the hull of ship.
The sawfish, common about the West
Indies, comes into the gulf of Mexico
and the Florida waters and frequently
ascends the Mississippi and other
southern rivers, doing great havoc to
the nets of fishermen. This species
sometimes reaches a length Of fifteen
feet, a fourth of which measures the

WHAT We NEED.

President Roosevelt's com fssion
appointed to ascertain the drawbacks
of farm life and to dnd means to re-
move them has determined, 1t appears,
to study conditions in the south down
to and including Georgia before it hur-
ries back to the. neighborhood of the
White House. Alabama, Mississippi
and the southwest are to be left un-
visited by the com mission.
This slight will, however. be forgiv-
en- if the commission can devise plans
that will render farm life more attrac-
tive. This State can apply to herself
what may be desired for her neigh Dor
States. But in these days Of telephones
and rural free delivery the farmer can
devise for himself all needful remedies
Of the situation. The truth is North
Carolina could by magic be equipped
in night with hard macadam roads
all complaints OF isolation and social
deficiencies on the farms would dis
appear The lack of trust worthy means
of com m nication lies at the bottom OF
farm discontent. We need, in other
words, not SO much the plans of the
uplitt commission as we need good
roads. v

UNION OF SOUTH AFRICA.

Some form of union is considered not
far away in South Africa. Public SEN
timent seems to lie drifting toward a
central parliament and Canada may be-
come a model for South African union.
A customs union exists but political
vention has actually been called to
consider the subject.
But the subject is still in formation
state. Influences are pulling for and
against it. There are race questions to
be considered. Some do not want to
be dominated by the Dutch and vice
versa. The location ofthe capital, too,
would be troublesome question. Cape
Town wants it and SO does Pretoria and
SO do q dozen other ambitious cities.
The native or co1ored vote isialso an
embarrassment, and altogether it is
safe to assume that political union OF
South Africa is a matter that time alone
can adjust and render feasible.
The numerous advantages Of consoI
dation and political union will be felt
az time runs on and ii is, perhaps, fail
to say that we are witnessing the be-
ginning of q movemement that will
vet crystalize into fact and pretty
big fact it will be before the end OF the
present century. Lord Miner predicts
its coming and few indeed, know South
Africa better than he does.

bankers and merchants of the south
will gather at New Orleans and Mem
phis to consider the situation.
It Is q hard problem that will come
up at New Orleans and Memphis. Cot
ton bales are coming in rapidly. and
they are being exported as rapidly as
they come in from the farms. The con-
tinent has already taken 1,O0O, ,00o
bales of new crop and England's tax
ings are nearly az large as they were
at the corresponding period of last
year. Two things should be consider
ed at the New Orleans and Memphis
meetings, namely, the probable size
of the crop and the probable consump-
tive demand Of the world. There are
really no other things to be consider
cd, and there will be no time at either
convention to consider much else. The
consuming world is the key to tho
problem, and the two big conventions
should strive to measure it in the most
dispassionate manner. A slower tide
of marke citing would be apt to lift
prices, however, in any event, and this
will no doubt be considered at New
Orleans and Memphis.

USED TO DEFEAT.

The Democrat party is used to de-

philosophioally and accept in good hu-

While the campaign just ended was
dull and colorless at the start, it became e
spirited toward the close. But ne mat

into the canvass, it was on the whole a
clean, dignified campaign. And, best
Of all, no Repu blican slush fund wa o
in evidence The American people
have been scandalized more than once
by the corrupt use OF money on the
part of Republican managers. In nearly
every campaign since 1884 the Repub-
licans have raised millions for the pur-
pose of buying votes, and in 1895 Mr..
Bryan was defeated by a shameless
use OF Republican money. But con-
ditions concurred this time to prevent t
any considerable attempt at debauch-
cry of the electorate.
In the first place, the public con
science had been Quickened, and if Re-
publican managers had resorted to the
old Doodle method, such general
protest would have been raised as
would have prevented the carrying
out of any thing OF the sert. And in the
next place, the Repub blieans would hav 6
found it impossible to raise a slus Ia

people, irrespective of party, have risen
to higher plane, let as hope, in the
view they take of civic ethics. What

partisans in years past will be tolerat-

FRANCE AND EMIGRATION.

While Russia, Germany, Great Brit

France is actually decreasing. The
deaths in France exceed the births.
since 1904 Germany has gained 822, 900
in population, while France has act
ually lost 20, O0o
But this is not quite as bad as it
looks, tor those countries in Europe
which are increasing In population are
the countries that are sending emf
grants to the end of the earth. Those
countries are filing not only the United
States, bat Argentina and Brazil and
Australia with people. France sends
out few or no emigrants. The sur
plus people-tha at is to say, those who
cannot earn o living at home-go to
other countries, while the people of
France stay at home. The resul, at the
end of the century may not be SO much
against France as present figures sug-
gest. The chief colonies of France are

secure voice in the world s affairs.
The number of children should be
proportioned to the means of living,
and France may be endeavoring to fit
this rule to herself. Any other rule
means q lower scale Of living, and in
the long-run it means emigration, and
emigration is not pleasant te contem-

may be sure it is adopted as last re-
