Ingalls may gyrate and orate, Reed may conspire, and the whole menagerie ol rampant Radical politi cians may rant and roar and howl, but they can't block the wheels of progress in the South nor prevent the inevitable. As surely as God's sun shine illumines the mountain tops, and gives verdure to the valleys, so surely will the South triumph and become the seat of empire, commer cially and politically, of this Re public. For twenty-five years the Republi can statesmen, fearful of her ascend ancy, have labored, talked, plotted and legislated to prevent it: for twenty-five years and more they have misrepresented and slandered her to keep Northern people and Northern capital out, and they are still at it; for twenty-five years they have been taxing their brains to de vise schemes by which they could get and hold political control of these Southern states, and they are still at it; for twenty-five years they have been doing their utmost to sow discord amongst us by inciting race .1 i . i conructs, ana encouraging tne ne groes to hostility against the whites even to the extent of indirectly ad vising arson and murder; for twenty five years they have endeavored to make the South, as they represent her to be, a land of riotious law lessness, and all for the purpose of crippling her that they might con trol and keep her in subjection. But they have signally failed so far and they will fail still more siginally in the future. It Is written in the book of destiny that here the seat of empire shall be. The Omnipotent, who ribbed her hills with iron, veined her hills and vaueys witngold, and copper and I silver and lead and zinc, and scat tered here and there precious stones, covered mountain and valley with the grandest forests of valuable timber equalled nowhere on the earth, cut the channels for noble rivers to bear her products to the sea and furnish power to turn the wheels of the world, gave a soil and climate which will produce in abun dance many of the products of the tropics and all of the- temperate zones, gave her these as the elements of strength, to make her great and mighty. And they are doing it. While the politicians have been howling, and raving, and scheming, and plotting, and conspiring to cir- cumvent, the spade and the pick of ne yiusyci,ung miner nave miner nave un earthed wonders, and the sunlight has fallen on untold treasures of ores coal, iron and other minerals which in their wildest fancy the men of a generation ago never conceived; the lumber seeker has gone into our for ests and discovered untold millions of wealth in What a 'generation ago was looked upon only as a source of supply for fuel and fences ; the in- ventor and the chemist have gone into our cotton neias ana rouna in the cotton seesf, winch the fast gene ration dumped "Into the manure pile; on iil viclrlpr worth .- ma nv mili 7 .-; .-n lions to the men who raise cot ton ; with rapid transit furnished by the railroads, Southern farmers have turned thousands upon thou sands of acres into gardens and orchards to supply Northern cities with vegetables and fruit; enquiring capital has found in her genial clime, abundance of raw material, water power and cheap fuel an inviting field for manufactures of all kinds, and the railroad builder has spied out the land, has run his lines, driven his stakes, dug down the hills, spanned the rivers, and laid his tracks to the ore beds, the coal mines, the manufacturing sites, and still the work goes on and will go on until the South is gridironed with railroads bearing her multiplied products in all directions. Industry, enterprise and I . , . ., , I capital are moving on witn steaa) and marvelous pace in the grana, n.nri.rr.e ri-f nmrrMe .mrf tician, tor partisan purposes, is uuui ing and plotting to prevent it. Even now while they are plotting and conspiring, under pretence that the South is a section where the rights of men and property are not secure, hundreds of Northern men are travelling through the South seeking positions for the establish ment of enterprises, and thousands of acres of land are passing nto the hands of capitalists to become the homes of colonists from the Northern and Western States and from Eu rope. And this is but the beginning. As marvelous as the progress of the and is to-day, it will bear no com- parison to the revelations ten years hence. The tide has turned south ward as surely as her rivers run southward, and all the trickery, and all the malice, and all the plotting of unscrupulous partisan leaders, sup plemented with all the ingenuity of their chief inspirer, the devil, cannot prevent it. They will prove as im potent in their efforts as they are unpatriotic and malevolent in their impulses and purposes. MINOR. MENTION Mr. Chas. A. Dana, editor of the New York Sun, at a banquet of the Newspaper Publishers' Association in New York, recently, speaking of Horace Greeley and James Gordon Bennett said the former was not a great newspaper man but a great writer of leading editorials, which made the Tribune powerful and fa mous, while Bennett was a great newspaper man and nothing else, a newspaper genius. And yet, true as this may be, it is said that Bennett with all his push, perseverance, en terprise and genius made fourteen attempts to establish a newspaper before he succeeded, and came so near failing in that that at one time he had to pledge his silver watch to raise a few dollars to buy paper to print his then little five column sheet. Genius may create a newspaper, but genius can't create a field for one. The field was there and Bennett's genius succeeded in building up what in his day became the greatest news paper in the world and is still in the first rank of the greatest. ' In contemplating Senator Hoar's bill to prohibit the redistricting of congressional districts in the States until after the next presidential elec tion its enormity is almost over shadowed by the colossal cheek of the man who offered it. Every one knows that while he has so worded it as to make it general in the appli cation it is intended to aDnlv esDe- cially to Ohio, where the law requires that the State be redistricted this year. In the face of this Mr. Hoar proposes by his bill to nullify the State law and by congressional en actment prevent interference with the Republican gerrymander by which 416,455 Republican votes elect 16 congressmen and 396,455 Demo cratic only elected 5. It is simply a bill to endorse and perpetuate by congressional enactment one of the basest and most palpable of partisan frauds. The Emperor William may be somewhat of a mule in his obstinacy, but he has brains between his ears. for all that. The interest he has lately evinced in bettering the condi- tion of the working people of Ger many, while it speaks well for his heart speaks as well for his head. He has noticed the unrest which per- vaues me working masses ot Europe, of has noticed the growth of the anti- monarchical spirit, and in some coun- tries how the people are coming to the front while thrones topple, while in others the growth of socialism and nihilism has made the lives of rulers wrestched. In establishing himself v"y Js v CUP'C uu monarKy tolerable andfrespe&able, he is doing more by his lgvel-rfiSided course tharit an army of liSUf antillitirl bavonets could do. He has set a good example also to his royal bro ther, the Czar of Russia, and taught him how to deal with nihilism in stead of cowering before it and tak ing refuge behind bomb-proofs from real or imaginary dangers. Mr. J. P. Dolliver, a member of Congress from Iowa, is none of your skinflint legislators who proposes to count the dolfars and cents (which other people have to pay) when voting pensions to the men who saved the Union. At a dinner ot a Republican Club in New York re cently he delivered himself thus: "This nation is . rich enough and generous enough to take care of the disabled veterans and their dependent families, and it makes absolutely no ainerence wnat it costs, n woum uc DdCer IOr ail mc MLlldiigcs ui wcanu iu be plundered, every bond repudiated, every contract DroKen, every coin 01 tne realm debased, rather tnan tnat tne oia azc of the Union army should be em bittered by the approaching shadows of poverty and want." He probably had about a quart of champagne under his shirt and felt rich when he got this off, as Web ster is said to have felt once on a festive occasion when some speaker made reference to the national debt, and he rather than have any dark ening shadows lower over that cherry board, generously remarked that the national debt was a small matter and he would pay it himself. He felt rich enough to pay it, and Dolliver doubtless felt rich enough to cash all the pension bills, large and small. STATE TOPICS. The Greensboro North State, of last week, notes the presence in that city of Colonel McCarty and Mr. Ashton, the former a civil and mining engineer and the inventor of a pro cess for making steel direct from crude ore, the latter a capitalist who is interested in the patents with him. The object of their visit is under stood to be to make an investigation of the mineral resources of middle North Carolina with a view to estab lishing, if their observations prove satisfactory, a steel plant at Greens boro or some other point in this re gion. In speaking of this process the Baltimore Manufacturers Record says the tests so far made have proved fully satisfactory and that it promises to revolutionize the steel making business. Our New Berne friends are mak ing big calculations on and prepara tions for the Fish, Oyster, Game and Industrial Exposition which begins next Monday, 24th, to continue through the week. Gov.

Where is the pan-American conference? Is it well with it? Is it sober or full ? Where is it pan ning now ? It went through the coun try like a beautiful dream and then disappeared. Perhaps it has read Mr. Blaine's article on the dangers ot foreign trade and concluded to go home. ban Francisco Alto, Dem. -The Afanufacturers" Record has compiled statistics showine that tne exPorts from twenty Southern ports were $66,958,738 greater in 1889 than in 1888. Not a bad show ing of activity for a section which, as we are so often assured, devotes its time mainly to standing on the edge of a volcano. -Phil. Record,JDem. .

A Pittsburg dispatch quotes a leading" steel rail manufartnrr rf that city as giving some interesting uata regaraing tne additional track age decided upon by the trunk lines of the country this year. He said: 1 here will be needed a million tons steel rails. This ouantitv of ma terial; delivered, will cost about $35, 00,000. Add to that the cost of ?sh ba5sJ fr.ogs' s,witches ties, grad- J T XrrV. will not fall hnrt nf Vi nn nnnW 7,vw,v,v. i The Pennsylvania Company lines will need about thirty thousand tons; other roads, including the Baltimore gd Cffiio, Lakerie rand., Pittsburg teana vystern, will neea nity tno.usana or sixty thousand tons more. Add the amounts needed by other Eastern roads, the Vanderbilt system, Gould s lines, Southern and Western roads, and you have the million tons. The Lake Shore between Buffalo and Chicago will use twenty thousand tons. Every road this year will in crease its trackage facilities. The experiences of last year bid fair to be repeated this year in the way of the embargo upon the movement of freight, which every shipper so well remembers, and every railroad man ager in the country is doing his ut most to obviate this trouble. The Pennsylvania. Railroad is even work ing hard to have a third track be tween Pittsburg and Philadelphia. This track is now completed at all the principal stations, and there are a great many miles of siding which will be utilized when work is com pleted. There is now probably two hundred miles of this third track, and the remainder will be laid as rapidiy as possible." THE SQUARE THING. How the Memory of a Suspended Citizen was Vindicated. Helena (Mont.) Herald. The train was just pulling out of Weston, Mo., for St. Joe, when one of the passengers in the smoker put his head so far out of the window that a man near him felt it his duty to utter a note of warning "Yes, it is a little risky, replied the man as he pulled in his head and sat-down, "but I was looking for a grave in that field. Reckon it has been ploughed under and forgot ten. "How did they happen to bury him there? "It's a sad story, gentlemen very sad. It was just ten years this month, and I was living here then. A stranger came in from the west with three horses to sell and he acted so queerly that we clapped him in jail He never denied that he stole 'em, and one night the boys turned out and hung him to a tree over there That used to be our way of discour aging the business,' and I believe it is still practiced farther west. We buried him near the tree and it was his grave I was looking for." "Never denied it, eh?" queried one of the listeners "Never did, although we gave him every chance. Just a week from the time he was hung we found out that he was an honest, honorable farmer, living about forty miles below us While he hadn't stolen the horses he had killed a man, and he no doubt believed that we were hanging him for that. We felt mean enough when we discovered that he was no horse thief and that all he had done was to pop a man over, and a Kan sas man at that, and he must have been sadly puzzled over our conduct. We made such reparation as we could, however." "In what way?" -un, we rounaea up tne grave, passed resolutions of sympathy for the wife, sent the horses on home and a lew months later I went up and married the widow. She s in the next car behind." PARNELL'S PECULIARITIES. The Great Irish Leader Very Supersti tious About Some Things. An anonymous writer in one of the London papers gives some curious and little known facts about Mr. Par nell. It appears that the Irish leader is eminently superstitious in trivial matters. He refuses to remain in a room where three candles are burn ing, and he regards green as a pe culiarly unlucky color, so much so that when the freedom of the city of iUDiin was to De conferred UDOn him he requested that the lining of the casket should not be green but purple, the latter being his favorite color and considered by him as very auspicious. His chief relaxation is machine making, "and if he; reads at all he is a student of specialist journals of the class of Engineering." The writer is an enthusiastic admirer of the un crowned king and regards him as pre-eminently the right man for his post, his very limitations being in the writer's eyes only additional proofs of his fitness for leadership. To his other oddities he adds the in ability to distinguish one tune from another. HIS WATER SUPPLY. How a Traveller in Queensland Utilized a Skull. Pall Mall Gazette. There is a terrible story coming from North Queensland about a man who was lost in the bush. He used up all his water and then dropped his "billy" in the agony of his thirst By and by, fortunately, he came to a water hole, where he slaked his thirst and found the road again. He had still some 30 miles to go, how ev - er ana ne had nothing whatever to carry water in. Ui course it would have been madness to attempt to travel 30 miles on foot under a North Queensland sun without water so his ready invention came to his aid. He had been horrified a short distance back by the skeleton of a man who had evidently been dead several -years. He went back and got the skull, plugged up the eye holes with clay and filled it with water. He then tramped that 30 miles on the water contained in the skull.

A confidential youth tells this story to the Chicago Herald: "I was calling on my on a lady friend. She has a small sister. I was seated in the parlor before she (my the young lady) came down stairs, and was being entertained in the interim by this small sister and a dish of delicious popcorn. The small girl was talkative, as usual. 'Have some corn?' she asked. I told her I had had some. 'Sister and I popped it,' she asserted. I expressed my de lighted surprise, and down went the kernel. 'Sister couldn't pop it at all,' she volunteered, 'and was givin' up, but I never give "things up.' Then she reached for another fistful of the corn. 'I hung some up over the stove with a string to-day, and just see how nice it popped,' she added. 'I told sister about it, and she said she thought she would have to tie a string around you and hang you over the stove; but of course you mustn't say I told you.' " Salvation Oil is what vou want.
