There is nothing new In the game that I* going on except the facu of aouiewhat changed conditions and that the hand and head • f the master Amer ican of th's geaeratlon order aad direct the march of events. Within the memories of many living men the great West was an unpeopled region. Vast stretches of prairie and pasture land lay un»carr*d by the plow share toward the setting sun The cow bov was Us hero, the cattle king monarch of «l that he surveyed. A 1 that has been changed. The Iron horse came anil drove awav the buffalo and stampeded the half w ild anhranded ett li herd*. Tiie.r pi tees were fl ed by the Immigrant who built hi* shack on the government land that he bought for a chesp song and the railroads sold for hetier prices the lirgesse of acres given them bv the government to encourage their build ing. The work is accomplished. The 'Vest Is so full peopled that the surplus 11 >wa North ward, thousands of Ameri can LimlUea are annua’,It crossing, with their cattle and household goods aud money accunml itlon«, the f ans dian line and starling I fe sgsln In new shacks In the immense gol ten wheat belt rf Western British America.

Toe cohesive hand • ■{ J I’lerpont Morgan has gathered in to one mighty f >rce tlie dl-J ,lnted rail roads of the Kaat South that like a great iron serpent chain stretch' s from lilt money temples > f New York to the orange groves that bask by warm hoiilbcrn seas T teae groat railroads are ready f ,r IsiiMness now, and they mvan hostne.s Toere is no sentiment of affection for the past, no stmpathy of kinship f ir the future In the programme as silent ly mapped out during the pa»t decade. hs now publicly proclaimed when the hour for action has arrived. There Is no guess work of pessimism In what we here sav, for we quote from the wwrda of an accredited envoy of the Morgan cabinet as spoken hy him to the Orangeburg Kveuing New » of the 32nd inst. He had been sent by the chief of staff of the Land and Industri al Department of the Southern Had way for the purpose of studying can illtiona in the S »uth and to make prop ositions 1 loking to the carrying out the plan* and ni“etlng the expectations of Mea.rs Morgan A Co. From the vcl ,intear pronouncements of this unim peachable witness as stated in the News we quota a few Illuminating paragraphs: •‘It seems to me," said Mr. Fluster, "that s atom company could he very easily 1 lunched In tills cltv, which cool 1 take over some of the rh-h lauds which are now undeveloped and which coni I he turned into veritahh gold mine*. Such a company could take over some «,f the large tracts which have not been thoroughly cleared; have them cleared up, divided Into small farms of about ten acres each and tbeo plant them in Mrawherriea Thun f<li to the north and northwest that these Mital' farms are for sale with the ber ries already |1 mted and offer to turn over U*e property the f > 1 ,w log spring when the berries will be read, to gath er. TVls wiil D’lng hundreds of in- tiuiries and here is where the Land Mud Industrial Department of the S 'Ulhern Railway cornea In and does its work Tnese Inquirlei are fol'owed up bv on* of our agents and every ef fort possible la put forth in order to seuuie a sale. "I have seen just such propositions put through more than once, and Die offering of the small farms already . Planted Is more appealing than a bare land proposition. The same tiling can 1m done with asparagus and other crops, which can al ways Hnd a teady market In the north. All of the«e | things the road Is Interested in, for it means the hauling of more freight for our road, and that Is why we are anx ious to help you people develop your lands and get them Into the hands •{ person* who will make money out of them.'' Bo it appears from this nievsage de livered by his trained and trusted cou rier that the ultimatum of Mr. Morgan Is more freight* fur bis Southern R ill- way system. Such threat words spoken In Orangeburg fifty years ago hy a man with northern intonation might have been considered Insolent and f-ansed trouble as tenacious as tar nnd affectionate at fas there, bat the Booth baa cooled its h jt temoer aad no more Invite* the pain and humiliation of the chastening rod. This same dec!iration explains much of the recent change that has taken |>Uce in the burying of the halahet and the emoking ef the pipe of peace and the hidMjt *»ay gi thg jtroffer jcalpa tyr the political war chiefs of the North. The word of the aut<>cr*t had passed down the line that pernecutlon mu*l c*a«*, that »oft word. mu*t soo'he while «kllled Unger* shuttl 'd the card, and | lived nut th« winning gams. Anil wrliy doea Mr. Morgan demand more freight, for hi. railroad'? Becauae it l» a cave of ground hog need wiih tbvm There must he opu lent earnings or there will be no suf ficient revenues for the payment of taxes, operating exi»en«e», .alarle*. extension*, betterment* and the ever eating interest on the bond, of that far ove/ mortgaged .y.tem. The mil lon* of monev that have conaolidaied and combine 1 so many different and Inde pendent properties into one great, har- monicu* machine wax h|I borrowed from ^ten thousand different source, and everr lender look* to tlie comple tion of the Morgen plans to put him palaced on Kiev Street until Die fir off hour comes for him to pa.s into para di.e S » the freight* mu.t ha hail and the money come In lest all these great expectation* cmi'i to i.aught »t-<f the glittering pre.tige of the Morgan genm. hurst like an empty bubble In to notliingnesa.
