Thwt i one of the inost dis 'USHedjuentions of the hour in Washington. Another is. will Congress wuit until Eng Inhd signifies its intentions, before pnsnting the Nicaragua Canal bill? No one can ans wer either with any certain tv at this time, but the prevail ing opinion appears to be that the refusal of England to'nccept the amended treaty would arouse a very bitter anti-E n g 1 1 b h sentiment, which might result in legisla tion that would be dis trous to Lnglish interests, instead of merely defending American interests,' as the amended treaty dos. The Canal question is really piiz zlingaud becoming more so. Some of the Senators who talk loudest for the Canal Bill, are under suspicion of not being nneere, and noon" need be greatly surprised if there is no canal legislation at this session, although at the opening of the session, the ('anal bill was considered one of the certainties, and it is fully known that public sentiment of the Country, re- garoiess or pontics, over whelmingly indorses the Nic Hi Hirna Canal Bill. The extent of the fight for reelection that little Billy ' handler has on his hands may he judged from his hav ing begged letters of recom mendation from twenty-three of the Republican Senators, to be printed and. circulated in New Hampshire, as an answer to the charge that he had lost the confidence and support of many ot his Be publican colleagues in the Senate. Thia would have been a shrewd dodge, if the indorsement of a sufficient number of Republican Sena tors had been secured, but when the number is Ichs than one half of the Republican Senators, it seems more like a confirmation than a refuta tion ot tne charge, as it. is certain that ("handler got all the letters he could. Senator Bacon, just before leaving for hia Georgia home where he will spend the holi aays, laughingly sain to a fellow Senator with whom he wasexehanging goodbyes: 'T wish you a merry Christ mas and a happv New Year. but I cannot wish you a hap py new century, because 1 believe the new century begjn on January 1. 1900. I can demonstrate to j on, - ma the matically, that I am right, but 1 won't take the time to do it, because my view seems to be at varience with that entertained by the rest of the world." ' ' - Minister Conger is to be re called on account of his al leged botch work in the ne gotiations at l'ekin, ., which havetBt last resulted in the signing of an agreement by the foreign ministers on the demands that shall be made on China, if close friends of the, adtnintratioit ' know what they an talkingahouX Others say that if Conger is recalled it will be merely to maliehim ascapegoat behind which the,' administration m ay , eo ncpa 1 i ts w a bbling, which ended in a peremptory irder, to Conger i o ign . an agreement its full text was m a de pu hlic Sa t u rd ii.v'.-con tainiiiir deirands that this government had over ami over agaiu said it would not agree tiv Seirti olfh-ial state ments emanating fiom the btate T)epartiueut,- chaige (longer with the responsibil ity of having placed this gov ernment iu a raise positiou by his blundering construc tion o f instructions. The members of the diplomatic corps in Washington are all laughing at the whole busi ness Accornina to a newspaper guess which may or may not) be correct, but which carries not only the sign of clever ness, but of painstaking ob servation, the United States Supreme Court 'which last week heard arguments on one of the cases involving the constitutionality of the ad ministration's policy toward the islands acquired from Spain, now stands four in fa vor ol the contention that the constitution follows the flag and four against it. with Chief Justice Fuller in doubt. If that be correct, the decis ion will really rest with the Chief J ustice and he is a good old-fashioned democrat. While this guens may not turn out to be right, it was not wildl.r made. Members of the Supreme Court are hu man, like the rest of us, and thej' indicate their belief by their talk, some of them by lecturing to law students, some by private conversa tion, and some by the tenor of the questions they asked of counsel while the arguments were being made. The justic es put down as believing that the Constitution Follows the flag, are Brewer, Harlan, White and Brown, and those holding to Ihe contrary, Mc- Kenna, Gray, Peckham and Shiras. It ia uncertain when the decision will be handed down, as more arguments on a similar case are to be sub mitted January 7th, but it is believed in Washington that if it be adverse, to the administration," Mr. McKin ley will endeavor to have it held back until after the ad journment of Congress. Mr. J. A. Wilson, a Boston lawyer, who is in Washing ton on business with the State Department, said of the Ship Subsidy bill, against which a number of Republi can Senators a re threatening to revolt: 'It is wrong in principle aud if enacted into law win establish a vicious precedent. If Congress leal ly wants to build up our mer chunt marine, it will amend the law, so that those engag ed in the business may pur chase' their ships or have them built in any country in thaorld and give them an American registry. This proposition to gie a few fa vored individuals some mil lions of dollars for floa ting the American flag" is little sljoi t of stealing, and l am of opinion that Mr. Hannn's pet measure will not' become mw.ar Tins session . oi con gress." ln order ,to quiet some if the Republican op- position to the bill, Senator llantia has indicated his will ingness to agree to its being amended, -but it is rot yet certain that any sort of an ameiidmeut will get the bill through. THE NEW SOUTH. v Richmond Times. ' ' v ' There have been few more significant gatherings in the South thau the Southern In mistrial Convention now in session at New Orleans. The convention is largely attend- ed and t he interest is intense. The governor of the'State de livereu th3 address ot wel come and Gen. J-jhn B. Gor don, of Georgia, replied. Tie said that "whatever the peo ple of the South have been in favor of in the past, they are no longer in favor of n nar row or contracted national policy. They are in favor of the Nicaraguan canal, of the open-door in the Orient, of . a i i carr.j'ing their hlessings to the benighted brown people of the East, who, some day, will rise up and shout aloud hosanrias-to God that the Hag of the Stars and Stripes has been admitted among them." Had that sentiment been expressed sixty dajs ago it would have been regretted by extreme party men as rank treason to the Democracy. But it is none the less true that aeneral Gordon has ex pressed thegenerulsentimeut ol the southern people on these points. We have a work to do in the East and the southern people are m favor of doing it arid doing it well. We are going to ex tend the blessings and bcnfi cent influences of American ism, and in so doing we shall be doing a work appointed us by the Divine Rule r of the universe. There is at least that much of truth in "man ifeat destiny." Following Genaral Gordon oara President H. H. Har fc'rave, with some interesting figures. He asserted that the South has 25 per cent, of the area of theUnited States, 33 per cent, of its population, a!' its cot ton and cottonseed, 80 per cent, of its tobacco, 65 per cent, of its timber re - sources, 30 per cent, of its col area, 20 per cent, of its coal production, 17 per cent, of its iron .production, 30 pel cent, of its railroad mileage, but only 20 per cent, of its wealth, and less than 10 per cent, of its man ufactures. This is an anom alous condition, yet when we remember that up to the time of ihe war theSouth was en tirely an agricultural section and that it paid little or no attention to manufacturing; when it is remembered that the South passed through four years of bloody and dis astrous war, and through several years more of Repub lican' reconstruction, which was worsii, the exhibit which she now makes in all depart ments of indust ry . are grati- fyirig, not tosajastoUDding. But. the South has onlv just, begun. With ml these raw materials at hand with every facility for manufactor ing and with all- the condi tions favorable, the indus tries of the South must logi cally grow at a rapid rate until these industries shall be commensurate with 'the ad vantages which the South possesses'. . ' And herein, we may remark in passing, is to be found the future solution of the politi cat problem of this sectiou. As our industries grow and as our people turn their nt t?ntion more and more to manufacturing and trade they will become more and more identified with the great interests of other sections, lin(j by rtIl(j by' the South will not be solid for a candidate who sees visions and dreams, simply because he is the uom inee of the Democratic party We go ri step farther and say that, in our opinion, nev cr again will the Populists of the Middle West be permitted to dictate terms to the South in a national campaign. God forbid that the South should ever surrender its honest con viclioiis to commercialism, but as sure as fate the com menial question will play a greater part in the profits of theSouth hereafter than it has done in the preyiouscam paigns President Hargrave urged thn't a campaign be inaugu rated by ach State toestab lish a every prosperity club in town which Hhouh have a strong official head capable of studying the loca conditions, need and oppor tunity or each section, and could draw around him al available forces to secure ev erything possible to develop the commerce, health, wealth and influence of t ha t section." This itself js in evi lence of the production Much we have stated and the predic tion which wehavemade. We urealso much interested in the remarks made by Dr. E A. Alderman, president ot Tulaue University, New Or leans. "No civilization'suid he, 'can become great in pov erty any more than a man can do his best work ;u bun ger and in nakedness. There must be some leisure lor con sideration of the higher things of living, and this leis ure comes out of skillful hv - ork. Health has its perils ominous and tyrannical, but poverty, especially in urban conditions, is half crimt and half tragedjy' If we may judge hy some things that were said during the late political campaign, national prosperity is a na tional crime. Some of thet campaign orators seemed to think that this country was doomed to destruction be cause it was getting rich. Wealth is a great responsi bility, and it is frequeutly a man's undoing, as it has been the undoing of some of the greatest-nations of other days. But wealth' properly employed is a blessing and may be used to develop char acter, national as well hb per sonal character. There isnu danger in our uatioual pro- perity, in 'onr nation! w-enltb unless we. abuse It.: There are greater and higher things' than trade, but trade is nec essary to national greatness. : We boast of our institutions of learning,'; of our public school s.vstm, of our great charitable. ; institutions." of our beautiful churches and of all the institutions ot like character which so abound in this country. These are greater than the sordid things of earth, but they can . not be maintained without trade, and so trade after all ies at the foundation of our greatness. The South is entitled to her share of the trade and to her part of the nation's great ness. We believe that this trade convention in New Or leans is a sign of our present prosperity and greater pros- peiity to come, as we believe also that its influences will bo widespread.

Kidney trouble preys upon the mind, dis courages and lessens ambition; beauty, vigor and cheerfulness soon disappear when the kid neys are put of order or diseased. . Kidney trouble, has become so prevalent that It Is not uncommon for a child to be born i afflicted with weak kid neys. If the child urin ates too often, if the urine scalds the flesh or if, when the child men reaches an age wnen it should be able to control the passage, it Is yet afflicted with bed-wetting, depend upon it. the cause of ' the difficulty is kidney trouble, and the first step should be towards the treatment of these important organs. This unpleasant trouble is due to a diseased condition of the kidneys and bladder and not to a habit as most people suppose.
