THE MEW MEDICAL ASSOCIATION.
The Seahoard Medical Association,
composed of the physicians of Tide?
water Virginia and North Carolina,
was formed in this city Thursday. The
new organization has for Its objects
the promotion of larger social and in?
tellectual intercourse among its mem?
bers; the interchange of views and
Ideas; the detailing of interesting and
unique cases that have come within
.the experience of Individual members?
in n word, the general advancement of
the noble science Of medicine, and the
keeping abreast of the rapid progress
which is being made in this depart?
ment of human knowledge.
Surely with an nim so high and so
broad, and with a membership so
large, so intelligent and so intellectu?
ally cultured, the new association de?
serves that success which the people
of the two States, and which The
Virginian, so heartily wish it.
A CBABGE AGAINST THE VILLAGE
ni,A4:KS.1IITft.
In an address delivered In Philadel?
phia recently by Mr. A. Augustus
Healy, president of the Rrooklyn Insti?
tute of Arts and Science, "on trusts
from a'business man's standpoint," that
gentleman 'brought a serious charge
against "The Village Blacksmith"
which is entirely new, and which comes
very much 1n the nature of a surprise
to those who have been thinking all
along that the aforesaid worker of old
iron was an altogether honest person?
age. "When the village 'blacksmith first
employed a man to help him," said Mr.
Healy, "there was formed the first in?
dustrial combination." So that here
a?t<V. when speaking of Itrusts and
conVblnes wo Ttiust remember that they
first commenced with this individual,
and who would have thought It'.' of
course, 'Mr. Healy is entitled to his
views on the question, 'but It is quite
certain that no such an ldta. occurred
to Mr. Long-follow when ho gavo this
pleasant little story 'to the public. How?
ever, in this day of en'llghtmcnt and
discoveries we must be prepared for al?
most anything, and Mr/ Healy should
be thanked for the valuable informa?
tion which he gives on the subject of
trusts and combines. Before long Mr.
Healy will be telling how "The Vil?
lage Blacksmith," and "that hired man
prevented all other blacksmiths from do?
ing business In 'their ?bailiwick, and that
they cornered the market by buying up
nil the old Iron In the village, driving
all other competitors to the wall. "Tall
trees from little acorns grow," and If
Mr. Healy is to he believed, the gigantic
robberies with which the country Is af?
flicted to-day through the trusts and
combines, had their origin with "The
Village Blacksmith," and the sin which
he committed lives after him.
OBJECTS TO 1118 EVI.4IOY.
Already some of the Grand Army
Posts ore denouncing Prof. Andrews,
of Brown University, for his eulogy
of General Robert ,13. Lee, and all
sorts of unpleasant things are being
said of him. But Just the same the
Professor Is standing by his guns, and
apparently is Indifferent as to their
criticisms. Prof. Andrews was a Fede?
ral soldier throughout the war and,
perhaps, is as well qualified to speak
on the subject of .the character and
ability of General Lee, both as a man
and a soldier, as are his critics. It
seems that the following are the para?
graphs against which objection are
chiefly urged, although the address as
u whole Is denounced:
"He was never outgeneraled by
Grant In all the campaigns from
tile ltappnhunnoek to James river,
never trapped or never caught
napping. I fall to Hud In the books
tiny such masterful generalship as
this hero showed, holding that slim
gray line, half starved, with no
prospects of additions, and lighting
when his army wns too hungry to
Bland and the rifles were only use?
ful as clubs. Hie courage was sub?
lime. He was as great as Gustavus
Adolphus, or Napoleon, or Welling?
ton, or Von M?ltke. His cause
?was not the Lost Cause so much as
was supposed. All that was good
in his cause has been engrafted
into our laws and constitution.
The doctrine of States rights, as
now interpreted by the Supreme
Court, Is In exact accordance with
his claims on the point."
"General Lee's cause Is not lost.
All that Is good of It remains; all
that was bad has been wiped out.
Our country is better and grander
to-day because the relations of the
several States to the Onion have
heen intelligently defined, and per?
haps we owe at least that much
to General Robert B. Lec and the
cause he fought for."
Prof. Andrew?' critics are reminded
that the war is over, and that the
gentleman's eulogy of the dead chief?
tain was but an honest tribute of one
soldier to another?that's all.
From all accounts the eulogist was
a good soldier on the Union side, but
not so conditioned as to be unable to
recognize merit even in an enemy,
and he has the courage to say so.
He can afford to live down the criti?
cisms, as he will, and may rest as?
sured that history in the end will be
in aooord with him.

"Ever clnce 1SSG," says the Chicago I
Tlmes-1 Icrald, "there has been a
steady decline In the dividends real?
ized by stockholders in New England
cotton mills. A report of the dividends
declared by thirty-seven establish?
ments at Fall River shows that the
dividends paid during lSf)7 amounted
to {.772.000, which was tin average of
:t.:i!l per cent, on the capital. The year
Just (dosed was the worst for Thirteen
years. Thirteen of the thirty-seven
establishments at Fall River paid no
dividends at all for the last quarter of
the year. This unsatisfactory condi?
tion has been brought about by the I
increasing competition of the Southern
mills. Mr. Coolidgc, of the Boston
Journal, finds that labor in the South?
ern mills is 2f> to J50 per cent, cheaper
than in the New England mills, and
that they have the advantage of 10
per cent. longer hours. Such condi?
tions made it necessary to cut wages
In the New England mills or go out
of business."
Mr. Dlngley, speaking in the Sen?
ate on Thursday of this week, de?
clared that the South's advantage in
the cotton mill Industry is only tem?
porary, and that before long the New
England mill owners will regain their
old footing, but it does not appear that
the New England people agree with
him. and the best proof that this is so
is found in the fact that any number
of mill owners from that section have
already moved their plants South and
others are preparing to follow.
According to the New Orleans Pica?
yune the superiority of Southern mills
is based upon the following facts: In
the first place, it says, the great ma?
jority of Soulhern mills are new es?
tablishments, provided with the very
best and latest machinery. Many of
the Fall River mills are old affairs,
hence are not as economical houses
as their rivals. In the second place
the Southern mills have the great ad?
vantage of being right at the. source
of cotton supply, hence are able to
save considerable in transportation and
handling charges, which, in this day
of keen competition, affords a great
advantage. Lastly, it Is claimed, that
the Southern mills pay.less for labor.
Rut why talk of these things, when
everybody who has any interest In the
cotton manufacturing industry what?
ever, Is aware of them. It Is not ipo |
much to s;y that In time ti.o South I
will become the great cotlon manufac-I
turing centre of the country. Then it
will not be a question ot a decline in
dividends only?U will be practically a
shut down altogether of a majority of
the New England mills.
