BERNARD. WILMINGTON, N. C. Thursday Morning, May 14, 1891 A CHICAGO PROJECT. Chicago is the livest city in Amer ica. There is no enterprise too co lossal for her to tackle and she will unhesitatingly undertake schemes which more matter-of-fact cities would regard as visionary impossi bilities. She is to-day, although a city which has grown from a little town to its present proportions within the life of men who are still moving in her business circles, the metropolis of the West and will be at the present rate of increase, within a couple of decades, the metropolis of the Republic. She has become what she is mainly by the energy, enterprise, liberality, public spirit, and courage of her people. In the earlier days when she need ed more railroads than she had she put up her money, induced capi talists from other places to put in money with her, and built them. In that way she became the great rail road center and distributing point in the West, with roads radiating in all directions and connecting her with every city in the United States. And so by her railroads and her enter prising spirit she got control of the grain and pork and beef trade of the West and became the great food fur nishing city of the continent. In her refrigerator cars she sends beef fed on the Western plains and slaughtered in her shambles to cities all the way from Maine to Mexico. When she wanted to raise the grade of the streets in a portion of the city where it was too low, but where four and five story brick buildings would be partially buried, she put jack screws under them and lifted blocks of them up five or six feet. When she wanted more and better water than she could get out of the swamp drain, called the Chicago river, she ran a tunnel a couple miles out under the lake, tapped the bot tom and got what she wanted. When she made up her mind to have the World's Fair, her business men put their heads together, put their names down for more millions than any other city would offer and got it. These are but a few of the things she has done, given as illustrations of the vim and enterprise of her citi zens, but they aFe small in compari son with some of the other schemes which she has in view to add still more to her greatness and renown. It is but a question of time, and no very distant time, either, when a ship canal will connect Lake Michi gan with, the Mississippi river, and when vessels will be loaded at her elevators and docks, to pass to the ocean by the way of the Mississippi, and be unloaded at the docks of the old world. This has been discussed and it will be done. The latest scheme suggested, and which is said to be taking shape, is one to divert the trade of Mexico, South and Central America from New York and other Southern ports to New Orleans, making it the great port of entry, and thence by rail to Chicago, which is to be the great distributing point. The Illinois railroad, one of the strongest railroad corporations in the country, is in it. The scheme embraces the building of steamships to ply between New Oorleans and the Mexican, Central and South American ports, and an international bank at New Orleans and at Chicago to faciltate exchange between the respective countries traded with. There is money enough at command to accomplish all this. Agents are now in Mexico and the South and Central American states enlisting co operation in this scheme, and making contracts. If this scheme be carried out in anything like the proportions con- templated it will make New Orleans and Chicago the two greatest com' mercial cities in the United States. New Orleans in addition to being the port of entry for the commerce of the countries south of us will also be the great shipping point for the grain, meat and other products of the West which pass through Chi cago to the markets of the world. As Chicago, the great metropolis of the West, becomes more closely identified with New Orleans, so will the West become more closely iden tified with the South, and as their interests become identified so will their action be directed to their mu tual prosperity. Commercially bound together they will be politically bound together for the accomplish ment of those objects in which they have a common interest, such as im proving the South Atlantic and Gulf harbors and the construction of inter nal water-ways to afford cheaper transportation for the products of the West to the seaboard. This means that in the years to come the larger part of the public moneys appropriated for internal improvements will be expended in the West and the South, as in the past they have been expended in the East. This is sectionalism, it is true, a sectionalism not based on sentiment and passion, as the sec tionalism of the past has been, but on self-interest and dollars, which is stronger and more lasting than sen timent and passion. MTJT0E MENTION. The New York Evening Post shows form tables of prices carefully pre pared that the average increase in the cost of living for the past four- m . . teen montns nas oeen ntteen per cent. While the removal of the tariff from sugar has cheapened that the cost of all the necessaries of life has advanced. Meat, flour, po tatoes, coffee and other articles in daily household use are higher, while the wages of workmen have not ad vanced, but in many lines of busi ness have been reduced. But the advance in flour, meats, potatoes, butter, &c, has not benefitted the farmer, but the combinations which control these articles after they leave the farmer's hands. As an illustration of this the Chicago Tnttr-Orean a R pmihlian rmnor j --...w.. iVl p cited the fact the other dav that while cattle sold in the Chicago mar ket at $5.50 a hundred a choice piece of beef cost from 25 to 30 cents a pound. There are combines and trusts on nearly all the articles of ood, as well as other things, which are fostered by the high tariff, which reap the advantage of the ad vance in prices, which the toiling, poorly paid millions must pay, while the producers derive little or no ben efit from it. The improvement in printing presses has kept pace with the mar vell ous development and growth in the newspaper business in this coun try within the past twenty-five" years. The New York Iferaldhas just put in a new Hoe press, which it pro nounces a marvel of mechanism, even in this country noted for mar vellous mechanism. It prints six papers at a time, from continuous rolls, cuts and folds the papers at the rate of ninety thousand an hour, fifteen hundred a minute, twenty-five a second. This is turning out printed papers at a speed that ought to satisfy any ordinarily exacting person. Some idea of the amount of paper which passes through it may be gathered from the statement that the paper worked by it in one hour, the width of the Herald, would reach a distance of fifty-two miles. Shortly after Secretary Foster was installed in the Treasury De partment it was given out that he contemplated taking some action to prohibit the shipment of goods in bond through Canada. This an- nouncement raised a racket in New England whose railroads would be seriously affected by an order of that kind, as it would force the ship ments by other routes to the North western States. As New Engfand is not in the best of humor these days in consequence of her failure to get the tariff removed from certain raw materials which her manufacturers need she kicked all the harder, and Secretary Foster, who has no notion of hurting the Republican party if he knows it and can help It, heard the kicking if he didn't feel it, and is now hesitating about the advisabil ity of issuing that order, with the probabilities largely in favor of its never being issued. The Republi party engineers can't afford to take any chances, even in New England, on which they used to count as dead sure. While the Republican organs are talking much about the tin-plate manufactories that are springing up and are going to spring up all-over the country, we are told that the manufacturers do not expect to have their plants ready to supply the market for a year or two. This gives plenty of time to get over the next Presidential campaign, during which the tin-plate fake will be worked for all it is worth, and then, having served its purpose, be per- mitted to subside. The time fixed for them to go into operation is about the time when the $80 a ton tariff imposed by the McKinley tariff will go into effect, and if they can't make tin-plate now when they get block tin free, is it to be sup posed that they can make it when they have to pay 80 a ton on their block fin? With all the talk of tin mines in this country not one of them has yet shown up with an out put worth talking about, while the great Black Hills mines have been shown to be a myth. STATE TOPICS. A correspondent of the Raleigh Chronicle writing from Kittrell says a mineralogist who recently visited Granville and Vance counties found fifty-seven minerals on the edge of Granville county adjoining Vance. Fifty-seven minerals would be a pjetty good showing for a whole county and a pretty good sized one, too, much less a small slice. Some of this mineral is valuable, or will prove so if found to exist in suffi cient quantities. The fact is few people have any idea of the variety or extent of the mineral resources of North Carolina, for but little atten tion has ever been given to this sub ject, which, however, is now begin ning to command some of the attn tion which it should have commanded Ions aero. BOOK NOTICES. The North Carolina Teacher for April is a neat issue, and is filled with pithy articles of interest to the teacher and to readers generally. The May number of the Home Maker is an exceedingly attractive one, the va ried list of cantents being excellent and the numerous illustrations fine, Publish ed by the Home Maker Company 44 East 14th street, Union Square, New York. The June number of Peterson's Maga zine, continues in the line of progress new features of interest being added to it The ladies always find this an interest ing and valuable publication, both for the entertaining reading matter it fur nishes and information it gives them on matters in which they are interested. Address Peterson's Magazine, 306 Chestnut street Philadelphia. We are in receipt of Goldthwaite's Geographical Magazine, published by the Knickerbocker Publishing Compa ny, 108-110 Duane street, New York. It is an exceedingly interesting and in structive publication, and one which oc cupies an entirely new field in magazine liteiature. It is in fact a geography, fill ed with interestingly written matter about various countries. Subscription price $2. a year. CURRENT COMMENT. A Brooklyn clergyman in his discourse the other evening observ ed that "It is often those luxuries that cost us most that prove most harmful." This is another severe allusion, possibly to the late billion dollar Congress. Phil. Ledger Ind. President Harrison s speeches have been very good, but many of his hearers are wondering a little that he has not said a word about the great base ball contests that are raging in all parts of the country. Perhaps Mr. Harrison has been de pending on Uncle Jerry Rusk or Mr. Wanamaker to touch on the national game. Louisville Courier-Journal, Dent. Peru signifies her willingness take a sample package of Mr. Blaine's reciprocity. If she likes that she may ask for more. Gradu ally the "President's Secretary of State seems to be getting working models of his new reciprocity inven tion introduced on probation and subject to approval in the majority of the South American reoublics. Costa Rica also indicates an inclina tion to test its advantages for use in her business. Savannah JTetvs, Detu. The President has told the people of Boise City Idaho: "You will take care that only so much reve nue is taken from the people as is neces sary to the proper public expenditure" What a fine sound is in these words? At the. same time how wisely sate they are from the standpoint of prodi gal expenditure, since the popular judgment of what is necessary is subordinate to the fact that the pop ular judgment is not now as well informed as it will be hereafter on the workings of the McKinley tariff system. Phil. Record Dem. OUR STATE CONTEMPORARIES. Yes, cheap sugar is good and desira ble, and we are glad to have it; but why isn't it just as good and -desirable to have cheap clothing', blankets and farm i m plements? Clinton Caucasian. Chicago's new city treasurer is Peter Klolbassa. Kohlsaat is its judge of pro bate. Herman Vogelgesang is the tene ment inspector. Franz Amberg will be city collector, and Miles Kehoe, super intendent of the bridewell. Evidently the foreigner is abroad in Chicago. AshevilU Citizen. When milk is first drawn from a healthy cow not a microbe can be dis covered in it. After two hours there are 25,000 microbes to the pint, but they fortunately happen to be peaceable and well disposed microbes, and won t do any hurt unless vinegar is drank on top of the milk. Concord Standard. There is no doubt about the fact that the South is to be a rich and prosper ous section of this great country. Our resources will yet be developed, and those of us who live to see the dawn and full light of the twentieth century will witness greater things than have ever been foretold. Scotland Neck Democrat. PERSONAL. Prof. Fields, of Amherst Col lege, made the trip from Yokohama to Boston in 16 days. Private Dalzell has been de feated for department commander of the G. A. R. of Ohio, receiving only 31 votes out of 519. B. C. Fargeon, the novelist, is an expert stenographer. He carries a note book with him at all times, and when an idea strikes him he jots it down for future use. Superintendent Porter of the Census Office is on an extended tour through the Northwest in company with Mrs. Porter. He will return to Wash ington in June. Right Rev. Edward McGolgan, Vicar-General of the Archdiocese of Bakimore.who celebrated his 80th birth day Monday, arises at 8 o'clock each morning and says mass in a church he built forty-eight years ago. George Meredith has just been trying to turn the "Iliad" into English hexameters, but those who have tried to read the Meredith version of Homer de clare that it is much more difficult than to acquire a knowlege of Greek and read the original. A wedding in high life took place at Port Townsend, B. C, recently, when the Prince of Wales, eldest son of the late Duke of York, head chief of the Clallam tribe, and Princess Bessie Jack son of the Royal house of Clallam, were united in holy matrimony. Queen Vic toria, the groom's mother, was expected to grace the festivities, but she was so busy digging clams she sent her regrets. Dr. Robert Koch, of Berlin, is a typical German savant and investigator. He was a student in Gottingen from 1862 to 1865, after which he practiced as an ordinary physician in the village of Rackwitz, in Saxony. In 1882 he went to India and Egypt as the head of the scientific committee to investigate the cause and character of cholera. Since his return he has been in Berlin. His bacillus investigations were recognized by the government through a donation made to him. POLITICAL POINTS. Possibly the letter written by Mr. Blaine, withdrawing from the Presi dential race, has been stolen by the thieves now working the New York let ter boxes. Philadelphia Times, Ind. Mr. Blaine is likewise to make a tour. He has earned his outing, too; and the fact that he makes the New England circuit his itinerary is an inter esting revelation as to what he considers the doubtful spot in the political future. Philadelphia Record, Dcm. That wicked partner of Blaine's is giving his duck-legged excellency a chance to snatch all the laurels resulting from the settlement of the Bering sea dispute. By peremptory interference Harrison expects to capture all the credit for permanently closing the con troversy. Savannah News, Dem. Senator Gorman, according to the Washington correspondent of the Chicaeo Herald, is said to cherish the belief that Senator McPherson of New Jersey, will carry the Democratic nomi nation for President away from Cleve land and Hill. If that should really happen, we wonder would Mr. Cleve land feel like saying "Hats off to New Jersey, as he did on a notable occasion a few years ago. Philadelphia Press, Rep. A Little Girl's Experience In A. Light house. Mr. and Mrs. Loren Trescott are keepers of the Gov. Lighthouse at Sand Beach, Mich., and are blessed with a daughter four years old. Last April she was taken down with Measles, followed with a dreadful Cough and turning into a Fever. Doctors at home and at Detroit treated her, but in vain, she grew worse rapidly, until she was a mere "handful of bones".
