The English press docs not appear
to be pleused with the stand President
Cleveland has taken on the Venezuelan
question, and It Is not to be wondered
at. The fact is that whenever the
British lion Is'thwarted In his purpose
he forthwith proceeds to growl, und
the outlook Is that before the Veiyjzu
elan controversy Is settled, he will do a
good deal of It. The President's posi?
tion is thoroughly In accord \ylth the
Monroe doctrine, however, and it does
not appear that he could have taken
a different position than what he has.
If England is disposed to be fair in the
mutter. It seems that Mr. Cleveland's
suggestion to settle the dispute be?
tween Itself and Venezuela by arbitra?
tion would be readily agreed to.
WILL HAVE l'NE ion THEM.
The Hayncsyllle (Cla.) Examiner, hav?
ing announced that the Montgomery
Advertiser "Is about to sell Its roost?
ers." thai Journal replies in this wise:
"No. we are not ready to sell them',
though we have not had a chance to use
them In recent elections. "We are very
anxious to use them next year, how?
ever, and that Is the reason we are try?
ing to put all mutineers, obstruction?
ists, and sclf-secklng demagogues to
the rear." ^ ?
That's right. The Advertiser should
keep Us roosters?it will need them,
and when the time comes they will
crow nil the louder. Many , an old roo?
ster has come from under the shed to
crow nt the dawn of light, and certainly
those of our contemporary are not
going to end their lives In darkness.
THE MOST l-ltOKPEROVN IN THE
COUNTlir.
The iron Industry of the South is
going to make this section more pros?
perous than many here yet believe.
We are now sending large shipments of
pig Iron to Europe, and In time this
will bteome a great Southern enter?
prise. The New York Morning Journal,
writing on this subject, says:
"The discovery that low basic Iron
suitable for steel making can be pro-:
duced from the cheap red ore of Ala?
bama threatens a lvvolutlon ' In the
steel manufacturing Imluclrles In this
country. Hitherto the Alubaina Iron
has beeil regarded as practically val?
ueless BO far as the production of steel
was concerned, but If It can be suc?
cessfully converted, ns present reports
declare. It may have a tremendous and
as yet undreamed of Importance In the
Industrial' development of the South.
The placing of1 orders for vast quanti?
ties of this Southern steel by such
llrtns ns the Carnegies and the Tlllhols
Steel Company Is the best sort of proof
that the Industry Is on the eve of rad?
ical and Important changes."
Added to the above the New Orleans
States says that a short time ago An
nlston, Alabama received from Japan the
largest order for Iron pipes ever sent
to America from a foreign country, and
this shows quite clenrly that the advan?
tages of the South are such that the
time is not faT distant when she will
be the wealthiest and most prosperous
portion of the American Union.
THE VKHUK i t'AXAI,.
The- report of the Government Com?
mission to Investigate the practicability
of building the Nicaragua Canal does
not appear very encouraging for the
scheme, though it was hoped otherwise.
The canal company's estimate placed
the cost at $69.000,000, while that of the
Commission puts it 'at $133,000,000. The
Commission, however, recommends an
appropriation of $350,000 for additional
surveys, which may cause a reduction
In its present estimate.
The Commission appointed by Presi?
dent Cleveland is composed of well
known engineers, and their conclusion
Is that on the present data, or rather
that of the canal company, the enter?
prise Is neither feaslable or practicable.
They do not condemn the proposed
route In the least, but say that the
natural difficulties to overcome are
very much more serious than was sup?
posed before the investigation was
made, and will, therefore, entall u
greater expense than that named by
the company. The country would be
glad to have the canal constructed, and
It probably will be in time, but It Is
quite plain that the report of the Com?
mission Is a set back to the projectors
for which neither they nor the public
were prepared. If the appropriation of
$350,000 is made for additional surveys
It will require eighteen months In
which to make them.
THE OYSTER.
The Atlanta Journal having asked
"Why does not Georgia produce more
oysters'.'" the Augusta Chronicle takes
up the subject and cites the fact that
the oyster crop of Maryland last year
readied the enormous total of 9,845.058
bushels, which were worth $5,298,366.
Virginia came second with 6,151,636
bushels of oysters worth $2,520,068. while
Georgia's crop only fooled up $40,520.
New York produced fewer oysters, but
her fancy varieties made the value i f
the pro-iuct greater than that of Vir?
ginia. It reached $2,74S,509.
The Journal says that the oysters
raised In Georgia are ecellent and their
quality could be improved by intel?
ligent cultivation. It is surprised that
with the vast area, on the Georgia coast,
which is perfectly adapted to oyster
culture.tbal the entire oyster product of
the State last year was worth only
$40.520! It says that seventeen States
produced more oysters than Georgia
and yet only two or three of them have
better natural advantages for this in?
dustry.
The Chronicle thinks thnt with every
opportunity for raising more oysters
than Georgia can consume on Its sea-1
coast, lt.;|s a reflection upon the enter?
prise and thrift of that people to have
to get the bulk of their oysters from
Norfolk and Mobile. ,
It would be a mistake for an out?
sider to criticise the enterprise of the
people' of "The Empire State of the
South," but there does not appear any
reason why the oyster cannot be as
profitably raised Ih that State as else?
where. If the conditions be all right.
Our contemporary need not think, how-,
ever, that Georgia will ever be able to
raise such bivalves as we dally take
front the waters of Lynnhaven. It Is
a product of these waters and has no
superior.
