There is no cause for great alarm over the financial situa tion in the South. The tirne has long since passed wheu the South had to go to the East for money. As a waiter oi racr, millions of dollars of Southern money ;s now iu the East. True it may not be where we can com mand it at a moment's notice. But we can get it in a very short lime. This nn r v can be in vested with crea'M profit iu the South than atv where else. It must surely fol ow theu that all this mouey wi!i . wine back home and go into legitimate channels if trade. Industrial development in the South is in its infancy. The future is full of promise and in vestment will yield great div idends. We h fe demonstrated b.yond all doul.i that steel rails can be made brre of equal qual ity and much cl.eaper than in Pittsburg.- Cotton goods of al! kinds can be made cheaper than in N e w England. Furuiture can be produced here foi less than in Michigan Building in atrial is neaicr and cheaper than anywhere else. The things which bring most money to the South are staples, viz: Cotton, coal, iron, lumber. All these we have iu abuudance and thev will commaud a ready sal fair profit regardless of condition. While labor is cheap and ready to work let the South make an effort to get factories, to open mills and mines for the development of all our marvel ous resources. Let us go to making finished products more and use up our raw materials; then we will reach the place in the industrial world we deserve. Let the croaker be quiet, the miser put his money in the bauk and everybody pull together and we will not know anything of a panic. NEWS AROUND THE MILLS , . : i . m T . . .

New York, Dec. 28. Ex President Grover Cleveland un der the title oi "Our People and Their ex-Piesidents," has con tributed an interesting: article to The Youth's Companion for January 5th. Referring to the poverty of Jtfferson after he left the presidency as a blow to national pride, Mr. Cleveland declares definite aud generous I provision should be made for the maintenance of chief magistrate? at the expiration of their terms. He deals with the subject at length and explains that he feels he can do so without his sincerity being" qestioned, since he is beyond the need of aid from the .wublic treasury. "The condition is by no means met," Mr. Cleveland writes, "by the meagre and spasmodic relief occasionally furnished under the guise ot a militaty pension or some other pretext; nor would it be best met by making compensation dependent upon the discharge of senatorial or other duty. Our people ought to make a aennite ana generous provision for all cases alike, based on motives of justice and fairness. and adequate to the situation Mr. Cleveland describes the limitations that his former high office places on a retired Presi dent in his choice of occupation and means of livelihood, aud how popular conception of him as a repository of national digni ty enforced a scale of living that may not be within his pri vate means. "There is a sort of vagne, but none the less imperative feeling abroad in the land," says Mi. Cleveland, "that one who has occupied the great office of President holds in trust for his fellow citizens a certain dignity, which in his conduct and man ner be is bound to protect against loss or deterioration. Obedience to this obligation prescribes, for him only such work as in popular judgment is not undignified. .This suggests itbont argument a reciprocal connection between the curtail ment of opportunities and a reasonable obligation of indem nification on tbe other."
