The Washington News says "In ono
thing tho South is most fortunate. It
has not mortgaged its future or its
present. What is owned is owned outit
right. Whereas in Kansas, for inr
stance, the mortgago debt per capita
iB $170, in Tonnesseo it is only $23,
and, if one turns to totals, tho figures
are even more striking. In Kansas, on
a valuation of $848,000,000, thero is an

There was an incident of tho nay*]
review in Now York Harbor, relates
Atlanta Journal, which is attractconsiderable
attention. In all tho
diaplay and pageantry thero was but
one tributo to tho memory of George
Washington and that caino from au
English vessel. If a person ignorant
of bhe history of our country had witnessed
tho splondid review he would
not have discovered that any such person
as George Washington ever lived,
but for tho fact that Sir John Hopkins,
tho British "Vice-Admiral, flashed
on tho deck of his ship a fiery figure of
"Tho Father of His Country." This
ras a generous and graceful act.

He might have gono further and added
that the Quakor women have come

,|VJ<0tyoung physicians, which comes to
> ' maturity about this timo of year, has
fcarousod tho curious statistician to da
1 * some figuring on thoir prospects. Ho
says, notes the New Orleans Picayune,
that thero nro educated in this country
about twico us many clergymen as
lawyers, and about twico us many
physicians as clergymen, which makes
about four physicians to every lawyer.
The United States has more physicians
to tho population than any other country.
In 1880 thero was a physician to
every 600 inhabitants, whereas in
England there was ono physician to
every 1000, in Franco ono to ovcry
2600 and in Germany ono to 2800. In
BkL certain parts of tho United States tho
i- doctors wero even moro plentiful than
jJPfs the ratio for tho whole country indi5?
there was one doctor to 548 persons,
Mey and in smaller places in the State ono
to 260. In 1887-8 tho entire number
of medical students in thiscountry was
^18,513 (including dental, pharmacouti'
jksal and votorinary), and tho total is
mygsnpposed to be about 20,000. On
tlnwasis of this rapid increaso, it is
vjMb to say that the oircle of the averjTgo
physician's patients is closing in on
- ^ him every year, and if he is improving
their health steadily, the outlook for
him is anything but oheerful.
It is said that the Austrian authorities
are very much concerned about
the constant heavy immigration from
?? their territories, and are doing all they
- can to chock it by publishing harrow,
ing accounts of the miseries undergone
by their emigrants in foreign countries.
They have lately published a statement
to the effect that Austrian emi
r ..grants in Brazil have appealod to their
^'consul at Rio de Janeiro to roquent
the Brazilian Government to give
thom work or assistance. As the resalt
of this intervention, np to the
first harvest, thej were provided with
_ fifteen days' work per month, at
nominal daily wages of two florins
eighty-fonr krentzors, or abont $1.18.
This, however, explains tlio Now

k ready money, but in paper, which
K Shopkeepers would only accept at such
a heavy disoount that the unfortunate
jkp necessaries of life. Tiie present
Brazilian Government, moreover,
have not kept the promise made by
\ their predecessors to assign land to
settlers dtfd advance money fu| its
cultivation. Consequently, tho Immigrants
have boen reduood to destitution
through tho inoreaso in the

the cessation of work on tho roads
and the stoppage of cultivation.

Cotton Mills North and South.
The Now York Financial Chronicle
takes twclvo Fall River cotton mills and
uhows that their average dividends for
the past seven years have ranged from
0 to 10 por cent.
Our Southern cotton mills, as the Bal
timorc Manufacturers' Record showed a
short time ago, pry dividends ranging
from 10 to 25 per cent.
The advantages in cotton manufacturing
are all on our side. Wo have tho
raw material on tlu spot, and we have
exceptionally cheap labor. In 1801 the
average yearly wages paid t) each cotton
operative iu inronmn was ipJTO, as compared
with au overage of $305 iu New
England, and an average of $:i;J2 in the
Middle States. This great dilTerence is
all in our favor, and makes it all the
harder for the North to compete with us.
N >w, why sh >u'd England and the
North, situ Red at a great dUtauco from
the cotto i fields, manufacture most of
thu raw material and market ill We
can establish nulls in sight of our nclus
that wi I be more profitiblu than their
distant competitors. The Southern
States have good distributing facilities,
and the completion of the Nicaragua
rami will in ike it eaay to reach the
in r'set-: of both coasts of Smtli Ainer
ion, and also China uud Japiu.
This, then is the situation. The Soutb
has practically a monopoly iu cotton; lici
mills pay the biggest profits; her labor
is the clicnpi&t, and she has the hist
chances of reaching the cousnmers of tho
world.. These advantages iu the course
of time must inevitably make this section
the centre of the manufacture and distri
bution of cotton goods. Hut our home
capitul and enterprise should not wait for
this" improvement t> he developed by
outsiders. Wc should go into it ourselves,
and thus hnstcu tho approach of the day
when we can tlx tho prico of our raw material,
instead of allowing it to be controlled
by a rinjr in Liverpool.

"We have talked matters over a good
