' John GI1L ' jreldent of the Mercantile Trust and : Deposit Com pany,of Baltimore, Southern man and an ex -Confederate soldier, writes to a business man of this city who bad addressed him on the subject of an investment: "To be frank with you, t am not Inclined, at present, to consider any proposition In the jsouth Th recent action ! in dig- regard of the rights of corporations disinclines me to ' put any money out In that direction tor some time w come. There Is too much, Populism in the Bouth. I think If men like you and other prominent citizens of Charlotte would come out arid de nounce the actio of as vlr. tual confiscation 6f propeny, it would have a gocjd effect in restoring- conn dence and business relations with that section of the Country which has al ways commanded my love and affec tioa." Gen. Gill does no: need any introduction in the South. c There are those who say In effect: "We do not need he aid of outald erg; we are able to finance ourselves." It looks as If such persons were ba lng regarded as representatives of the South and , are being taken., at their word. , t Yet when we get to :hat point where outside capital cannot be com manded we will tie merely snapping dollars . among . ourselves. All the money that Is brought In is doubly serviceable, leaving our own for home enterprise anq aaaing to me noum i working capital by so much as it In creases It. AH' the 'money, for tn stance, that a railroad brings in from , the sale of Its securities, for double tracklng"or ether improvement, for disbursement here, is a net Increase of the wealth of the South, it having been earned not here but elsewhere. Those who countenance radical leg islation or other action which drives capital away through ' unreasonable hostility to it are enemies of the South, of their neighbors and themselves.

Silver -dollar have long been thoroughly - unwelcome everywhere except in the South, owing to their t weight and bulk.

He reinforced his deliverance with a gesture that swept in. the whole earth and a few starsalsp, all but losing his feet as a result. His mind seemed to be perfectly relieved .and he staggered on upMhe street, etlU insisting as the two pasged out of hearing. "Ain" I tel'n y' right? The man "and hla oa,th were easily dismissed from the mind of he man that overhears! the remark, but he of ten finds himself wondering about the mother.

A woman with face alight sits hy him; children play and laugh and tumble around his feet. Jn the later afternoon they will walk out into the fields, down wood land paths, talking about nothing, drinking in the silence and the rest that swoons about them.

But the correspondence, Just publish ed between D. A. Tomnklnay of Char lotte, N. C., and W. W. Flnley, presi dent of the Southern Railway, presents one ef the most lucid' analyses of the public attinide which ? , haa , yet vbeen given.; ; 'Mr.?- ompklns is one among the few men in the South , who ca n speak for the people as a whole be cause of ' hi intimate acquaintance with conditions there from long expe rience and careful thinking In large business interests with .which he Is Identified: In his statement of the public's carfe he says that the people's grievances, "as they exist In their hearts, but are in most cases not de fined in their heads," are: v 1. Discriminating rates, r 1. The 'speculative action of rall Tiay securities.' " . . r S. Inconsiderate and discourteous treatment of the traveling public by railway; companies and their em ployes., N . . . ., He suggests, by way of remedy, that the railway people, to eliminate discrimination, should themselves take serious hold of this matter and "or ganise a commission of experts to work out a plan of rate-making which would put everybody on the same footing." As to speculation he urges that the railway people should take "some comprehensive action to bring this wild-cat speculative system of stocks and bonds Into decent In vestment shape," claiming that the poor credit of railroads Is due to the absence of such control In the issue of securities as the Federal government exercises over national rbank Issues. "The people," ire says, "would 'soon see that such a movement would be no invasion of State rights. The tariff, the mail and. the banking have already been made national and there Is no such invasion." . , As for the treatment of the travel ing public by railway (employes, Mr. Tompkins thinks that this la probably as important as the ottyer two com bined. The lack of courtesy in hand ling people, it is claimed, has embit tered and prejudiced the public unill It has been forced to complain of and defend itself against a kind of treat ment which is foreign : to a demo cratic spirit, and ; which, judging by the courteous standards of some oth er roads, is not necessary in railway psactice."-", .::,- , ', , This view is, ot course, a partial one, Tt does not cover the whole ground. Moreover, it ' does notafustify any lynching of railway .capital such as has been attempted In some of . the States.
