The South Carolina Alliances arc
viewing with suspicion the action
of tho governor of that state whom
they elected Tho governor has hit
the sjublroasury humbug It appears
to be the misfortune of our Alliance
friends to raise only deadrea fruit
which turns to ashes on the lips
They elected Governor Northon of
Georgia and Northcn has repudiated
their subtreasury folly and split with
them They forced Buchanan on the
Democrats of Tennessee and now they
and Buchanan have parted company
They made Tillman governor of South
Carolina and now they are denouncing
him They supported Hogg for gov-
ernor of Texas and contributed chiefly
to his irresistible force in the conven-
tion and now they speak of him only
10 revile They sent Siinpson to con-
gress from Kansas and they have fallen
out with hiin This is a disheartening
record We will make a suggestion
which may save them from disappoint-
ment in the future When they take
up a candidate put him under bond to
do what he is told to do and to have no
opinion or will of his own
THE SOUTIPS PROGRESS
From January 1 to July 1 there were
built in all of the states and territories
of the Union 100S1 miles of railroad
The fourteen Southern states built 930
miles of this total leaving but 673 miles
for tho other thirty states and four
territories
This is an evidence of the real pros-
perity of the South that cannot bo
coughed aside Capitalists do not build
railroads for pastime It is a costly
under aking and it is only done where
there is a demand for railroad business
or where there is assurance that tho
building of the road will so develop the
country as to make business for it
The industrial supremacy of tho fut-
ure is with tho South For seventy
years the political supremacy of the
country lay in the hands of tho South
but that is gone Tho North and the
Northwest are too powerful and can
dictate th policies of government The
South can do nothing against the
united strength of these sections But
tho South can win back what it lost by
the war when it enters the field of in-
dustrial effort Nature has been lavish
in the bestowal of her bounties upon
this favored part of the Union It only
rests with man to utilize what is put to
his hand That is what is now going
on The building of railroads the es-
tablishing of manufacturing plants the
concentration of energy all tend to
this end The close of the nineteenth
century will see the South in the sad-
dle but the steed will be tho iron
horse and he will draw a train of
Southernmade goods and wares
CATCH THE BIO FEEEOWS
It is now in order for Republican or-
gans and orators to congratulate the
country on the speedy punishment in-
flicted on Bardsley Philadelphias de-
faulting cashie They will of course
indulgo in a good deal of brag and
bluster about the way thoy look after
their d d rascal If it affords them
such great pleasure to rejoico over the
downfall of one of their highfliers no
one should quarrel with them for that
Others will experience a sense of satis-
faction in knowing that another knave
has got his deserts but will not break-
out in hallelujahs over it and for very
good reasons that the organs and ora-
tors aforesaid should think about before
singing peans over the fate of Bardsley
In tho first place the defaulter con-
fessed his guilt and threw Jtimself on
the mercy of the court What great
victory has been achieved in sentenc-
ing to tho penitentiary for fifteen years
a trusted official who has made away
with a million dollars of public funds
Is there anything in that to brag about
What else could the court do but give
him a term of vears at hard labor In
the next place Bardsley was not one
of tho big fish Ho was rather
on the common order Ho was
not high in the councils ot his
party and putsido of his official
duties which required no great abili-
ties was n small potato Tho reckless
fMMmfSmmmimZIZ
manner in which he squandered and
dissipated the funds entrusted to him
showed that he was a bad manager It
is related that his brotherinlaw was
tho only friend present when he re-
ceived sentence No one took any in-
terest in the fellow save his attorney
Tho rest all abandoned him
But had he been an exalted func-
tionary a man of resources and power-
ful friends bound to him by various ties
of interest and had he employed all of
them in his own defense as Quay did
or Wanamaker what then Would
such a man have gone over the road as
Bardsley the vulgar spendthrift and
prodigal has done There are others
without doubt far more important per-
sonages than tho defaulting treasurer
whose connections with the crimes of
the Keystone bank are no less culpable
than his own Would it not bo well
before cackling over what has been
done to catch and convict a few of
them There is more glory in shaving
the head of and putting a suit of stripes
on one big rascal than in punishing
ninety and nine selfconfessed smal

AFTER A CHIMERA
Mr Allen Foote has started in to re-
form the abuses of the pension system
He has a big job on hand for tho
abuses are illimitable and the abusers
are innumerable To resist tho over-
whelming flood of pension raiders seems
as hopeless a task as that assumed by
Mrs Partington when she look her
broom to sweep back the incoming tide
of the Atlantic ocean
Mr Foote is himself a veterau and a
pension drawer but ho does not appear
to be a hog He says candidly thattho
wound for which he gets a pension does
not disable him and he has no need of
a pension and should not be allowed to
have one One third of the pensioners
he says are not entitled to government
aid and another third do not need it
The rcmaiuing third ought to have more
than they get If the two classes of
impostors were shut oiT then the
really deserving and needful veterans
could be paid moro than they are now
getting without increasing the pension
expenditures It is to the work of bring-
ing about this reform tho cutting off
of twothirds of the pension drawers
that Mr Footo addresses himself
It is a good object to strive for but
tho striving will bo in vain The fat
calf is the hardest to drive away from
the teat Tho man who undeserving and
unneedful though he might have been
worked and schemed and clamored un-
til he got on tho pension rolls is not
going to give up his spoils and the
thousands of the samo kind who hope
to get on tho rolls are not going to let-
up in their efforts They are well or-
ganized those now getting pensions
and those who hopo to get them and
they arc feared by politicians It is
said that tho pensioners and pension
applicants number mor6 than seven
hundred thousand The tremendous
political power of so many voters act-
ing together with a common purpose in
viow and that purpose selfgain can-
not bo resisted No member of con-
gress in any Northern state dare stand
in the way of their demands It would
mean political detth and oblivion
They will have th r own way The
pension list will btwadded to and tho
appropriations willl swell to such a
figure that at last the people will tol
erato tho colossal raud no longer
Then there will be > mo hopo that it
will stop But < at time is not yet
here and Mr Ftes efforts will not
hasten it
TRICHINA AND THE HOG
Uncle Jerry Rusk went to Chicago a
few days ago to investigate the physi-
cal condition of the American hog
Germany has had for some time an idea
that wo do not look carefully enough to
the health of our hogs and allow them
to get wormy occasionally Uncle
Jerry who as secretary of agriculture
knows better has gono roundly to work
to prove to the satisfaction of tho reich
slags bundesraths landtags and land
raths of Germany that ample attention
is given to the sanitary condition of
the American hog Unclo Jerry is tho
agricultural wheelhorse of the cabinet
and a jolly old soul withal who man-
ages very well to keep out of hot water
ugly and scandalous scrapes hot boxes
and the like For a Republican in high
position and not a Sundayschool
teacher either this is doing mighty
well
To show that he was honest in mak-
ing the inquiry Unclo Jerry brought
with him a couple of German scientists
who examined under the microscope
specimens taken from 200 hogs in Mor-
ris packing house This was the work
of the first day No trace of the
pesky trichina spiralis was found
The examination is to be ex-
haustive and such as will be
sufficient to convince any reasonable
German from Caprivi to a burgomaster
that sick hogs are not slaughtered in
this country They are turned into
soap instead which is a remunerative
industry in itself
Scientists clas3 the animal called
trichina as a larva of the marmats do
helminth whatever that is It exists
in both sexes and when it gets into a
juicy gentleman of leisure it finds its
habitat so pleasant and agreeable that
it sets about reproducing itself with
marvelous rapidity In the hog it is
usually found in the pupa state cneysted
in a calcareous envelope dormant and
quito harmless Taken inlothe human
stomach the gastric juices dissolve the
cyst and the liberated parasite tak-
ing accurate bearings of his situation
starts cut upon a pilgrimage through
tissues and muscles which are no bar
whatever to his migratory progress
They bore their way through the walls
feat flm i
of the stomach or the alimentary canal
and travel about among the mesenteric
and lymphatic glands with which they
play as sad havoc as a hailstorm with a
wheatfield or a Republican congress
with a treasury surplus They may
take a notion to travel upward and ex-
plore the muscular diaphragm where
they swing and ride at pleasure on its
upward and downward movements and
occasionally take a pinch out of ones
lungs or heart They have a way of
distributing themselves about in a
mans internal economy like marauders
in an enemys country and living on the
fat oftho land Of course this is tough
on the victim who suffers excruciating
pain a high temperature and internal
inflammation likely to cause death
The trichina is a dangerous thing to
admit into ones system and Uncle
Jerry is resolved that it must be ex
terminated
TWO BLASTING 3IONOFOLIES
An advance in the price of bread has
led to revolution in Europe The addi-
tion of a few cents to the cost of a keg
of beer once brought on a riot in Cin-
cinnati With these warnings written
on the signboards of history the utter-
ances of Speechmaster Herr Golden at
the federation of labor meeting arc sig-
nificant The speechmaster directed
his shafts at the nicotine syndicate
The nicotine syndicato is the classical
form of allusion to the tobacco trust
After eriving some time and words to
them Herr Golden concludes in this
livid language And thus do these
crushers of human liberty and destroy-
ers of human hope run riot over the
land devastating it as they go incar-
nate fiends gloating over the miseries
of 04000000 of people sucking the life-
blood out of the nation destroying
trade stilling conscience throttling
freedom
The warning is wellsounded Hero
are we a nation of freemen children of
that proud bird of liberty the feather
tips of whose wings aro flushed in the
waters of the Atlantic and the Pacific
oceans whose beak is bathed in Cana-
dian snow while its tail is scorched as
it switches around over the burning
sand of the Mexican deserts surrender-
ing ourselves like slaves to the domin-
ation of a nicotine syndicate of a
tobaceo trust While millions of Amer-
ican citizens are perishing starving
for a chaw this soulless syndicate sticks
its plug of navy deeper in its pocket
and says Corno down with the cash
And not only that not only is there
a tobacco trust whose exactions make
our proud bosoms to heave with indig-
nation hat there is a whisky trust too
that is running riot over the land de-
vastating it as they go gloating over
the miseries of 04000000 of people
While thirst and hunger sit like gaunt
specters at tho door famishing millions
turn in vain their appealing hands to
these poullcss trusts Nary chaw
Nary drink Their hearts are hearts
of stone Thoy just let us go on hun-
gering and thirsting
No longer shall such things be borne
The tobacco trust and the whisky trust
must be crushed They shall not pre-
vail against a nation of freemen We
know our rights and knowing daro
shake our fists at these oppressors of
the people and say Just wait till we
get in the saddle and then we ll show

The strongly marked features of Horace
Greeley look out from the front-
ispiece and in the number is pub-
lished for the first timo his estimate of

parently written most dispassionately is a
prand summing after granting to others
their meed of praise he says I clearly dis-
cern that the ono providential leader the
indispenablo hero of thepreat drama faith-
fully reflecting evou in his hesitation and
seeming vacillations the sentiments of the
masses fitted by his very defects and
shortcomings for the burden laid upon him
the good to be wroucht out through him
was Abraham Lincoln
Many persons have doubtless heard
somewhat of the privations and suf-
ferings of the lionncr party a
company comprising men women and
children who crossed the plains in 1S46
aut the narrative gains vividness as it is
given by Virginia Reed Murphy one of the
party only a child of soven years when the
terriblB journey began The illustrations
add much to the reality of tho narrative as
they do atso to A Day at Lagneers
written and illustrated by F Hopkinson
Smith whose Col Carter of Cartcrsville
has attracted much notice
Prominent among many excellent arti-
cles is Paris the Typical City Mr
Shaw ha3 in this collected an astonishing
unmber of statistics and the article is full
of instruction to city builders who are will-
ing to profit by the experiments of others
and do not persist in working at exploded
theories and in the face of demonstrated
failures
In Open Letters Eugene M Camp
writes of Conscience in Journalism and
in so clever a fashion that there is tempta-
tion to quote the entire article if space i > er
mitted No apology is therefore made for
what St Paul calls magnifying ones calling
by quoting a part of what he says
Hundreds ot publishers sitting at the focus
ot these multifarious public demands struggle
year after year sacrificing money time and
peace of mind with the knowledge that they
can at any moment increase their circulation
and their profits by lowering the moral and lit-
erary standards of their publications Why do
they not lower them There are many reasons
The nublisher finds in his bands a powerful
leverr It is a lever of better private and public
morals of better laws of better public service
of detection for the wrongdoer ot wider edu-
cation of purer literature cf better chances
for the weak and the publisher bears all the
weight upon thi3 lever that a nothigh publio
taste will let him He does so because ho is
conscientious because ho is patriotic because
he Is ambitious because he sesks an honorable
name aud because the traditions the prece-
dents the contemporaneous newspaper com-
parisons demand that he shall do so

position in the Bismarck quarrel by which
the emperor lost the service of the servant
of his father and his grandfather The
paper is interesting because of the nearness
of the writer to the man and also becauso
of the prominent place Germany now occu-
pies in European politics
The Census and the Colored Race by

America by Prof Herbert B Adams Tho
Operation of tie Interstate Commerce
Law by Aldacc F Walker of tho Western
traffic association and severel other papers
on topics connected with the polity of the
United States government commend
themselves to the attention of such readers
as would have an intelligent understanding
of public questions that are being agitated
Altogether different is a paper by that
pleasant writer Philip Gilbert Hammer
ton Home Life in France A perusal of
this articlo will tend to dis ate tho be-
lief of English fostering thac among tho
French there existed no idea of home It
is also apparent that in France there is
little need of a womans rights party as
Frenchwomen are shown to ba equal in
business and superior in the home
A commendable feature in tho Forum is
the short biographical sketches of the
writers in the current number To tho
majority of readers the interest in any
writing is greatly enhanced by knowledge
of the author not always given in merely
placing his name in connection with his

excuso for a want of acquaintance with tho
topics of tho day Tho rield it covers is an
extended ono and there are photographs of
men and women who are more or less con-
spicuous in movements political scientific
and philanthropic The pages devoted to
reproducing caricatures aro valuable con-
tributions to history and for them if not
for anything else every number of the Re-
view should bo preserved A century
hence the value of thoso can hardly be over-
estimated
