Ladies Advantages
and AttractiveENV|jsi£g!llPi3hinerton.
FVoih the Courier-Journal.
Washington, June 18.—Owing to the
facts that the Senators are seventy-six in
number, and the members of the House of
Representatives are 325, and that the latter
are elected but for two years at a time, and
many serve in but one Congress, while the
ordinary term of a Senator is six years,
some of the Senators and their families are
considered to belong to the permanent so
ciety of Washington, and have social ad
vantages more transient familes rarely, if
evet, attain. These take their places among
those of the residents of the capital who
have the most attractive homes and most
desirable circle of acquaintance, and who
jierhaps know scarcely a dozen of the ladies
of the families of the numerous itiemhersof
the House of Representatives. The daugh
ters of the Senators who have served more
than one term have in many instances grown
,up in Washington, and made their first ap
pearance as full-fledged young ladies at
WaaWngton parties, and are so little ac
quainted in the States which their father
represent that it is a real hardship to them
when compelled by necessity to live in the
old homes of their parents. Some of these
when taken back to the actual residences of
their fathers, perhaps in a country district
or in a small, inlana town, by their lack of
interest in their neighbors seriously offend
those on whom their fathers depend for con
tinuance in political life, and thus bring
about the very retirement the ladies of the
family most earnestly desire to retard.
There are, however, among the Senators'
daughters some who have been so educated
that they have resources of their own
which would make them contented, if not
happy, anywhere.
This is especially true of Senator Ed
munds' only remaining daughter, who has
received under the direct supervision of
her parents a most substantial educa
tion, and has by preference mingled little in
the gav scenes of Washington.
She has rarely, if ever, attended a danc
ing party, but sometimes goes to other en
tertainments—afternoon teas and lunches,
and occasionally to an evening reception.
She takes great interest in her father’s pur
suits, even in his law studies.
Another exception to those who care ex
clusively for excitement and amusement
is Mbs Anna Dawes (the only daughter of
Senator Dawes, of Massachusetts), who is
better known to readers of her stories and
text books for schools, which are much used
in New England, than she is to many people
in Washington, especially among those who
frequent its gay social assemblages, in spite
of her long residence here during many suc
cessive sessions of Congress.
Miss Dawes has never cared to mingle in
society, ami beyond receiving with her
mother on Thursdays, returning visits, and
occasionally attending a lnnch party, goes
through none of the routine of social duties
and pleasures in which such a number of
the ladies of Washington, including Con
gressmen's daughters, take unmingled de
light. She attends the meetings of the
Washington Literary Society of which she
has loug been a member, regularly, and
often (-ontributes papers which she reads at
such times, and she is of the greatest assist
ance to her father in his work, whether in
gathering material for his speeches, or in
arranging his mail and printed documents
which last must be sent out to constituents.
She much resembles her father inf face
and figure. Her hair, which she has never
had banged, is light brown in color, and she
wears it drawn plainly back from a high
and prominent forehead. Her eyes and com
plexion are light.
The young daughter of Senator McMil
lan, of" Minnesota, who has not yet quite
completed her course of schooling, snows
great interest in historal research, especially
in the direction of classical and mediaeval
history, an unusual taste in one so young,
and. being with her parents in Washington
during this winter, has made good use of
the Congressional library in following up
bar favorite study. There are also ladies of
other Senators’ families who make good use
of their residence in Washington by seek
ing benefit from the libraries and scientific
and other collections in the government
buildings, as well as by contact with those,
to know whom is in itself a liberal educa
tion.
On the other hand there are lw>th wives
and daughters of Senators who regard a
stay in Washington, whether brief or pro
tracted, only as an opportunity to enjoy
more of gay society than any other place
could afford them.
Avery busy life is led by some of those
who rarely take a meal at home during the
season except when entertaining company.
They go to •‘breakfast" at 12, or a lunch at
2, then to an afternoon ten. or to make a
round of calls, have barely time to dress to
go out to dinner, aud afterward attend a
ball, dancing until 3 or 4 in the morning, or
perhaps spend the evening at the opera or
theatre, and go to a midnight supper after
ward which lasts until 2 o’clock.
But even among these there are some la
dies who make it a matter of principle to
give of their time and substance to works
of charity, and in the very height of the
gar season will labor to benefit charities.
For instance, Thursday is the ilav for
Senators’ families to receive calls. Yet at
9 o'clock on a Thursday morning, in Janu
ary of this year. Mis? Dolph, the daughter
of the Oregon Senator, who recently "mar
ried Mr. Nixon, was playing the minuet for
the dancers to rehearse it at Chief Justice
Waite’s house aud kept another engage
ment at noon. She received calls with her
mother in the afternoon, went to another
Kirmess rehearsal afterdinner and to Secre
tary and William Endieott’s reception at 10
o’clock that evening, having hud no time to
rest since before an early breakfast.
Senat< irs’ daughters old enough to take
part in Washington society, are, however,
not very numerous here this winter, there
having" lieen so many of them married
within two or three years, and few of the
married daughters of Senators live here,
though they occasionally visit their fathers
during a session of Congress.
The following is believed to lie a tolera
bly, if not wholly, accurate list of Sena
tors who have had with them this winter
duughters old enough to he in society:
Senator Sherman. Ohio, the President pro
tempore of the Senate: Senators Beck and
Blackburn, Kentucky; Hro?vn, (b-orgia;
Butler and Hampton, both of South Caroli
na; Cameron, Pennsylvania; Cheney, New
Hampshire; Cullum, Illinois;Dawes, Massa
chusetts; Dolph and Mitchell, both of Ore
gon; Edmunds. Vermont;Eustis, Louisiana;
Evarts, New York; George, Mississippi;
Jones, Arkansas; McMillan, Minnesota;
Farwell, Illinois; Mahone. Virginia; Payne,
Ohio: Pugh, Alabama; Sawyer, Wisconsin;
Voorhee6 of Indiana, and Wilson, lowa, aud
Whitthome, Tennessee.
Of three the daughters of Senators Beck,
Eustis, Farwell. Puvne, Pugh and Sawyer
are married, while the daughter of Senator
Sherman, one of Senator Butler's daugh
ters. and the daughters of Senators Cheney,
Mahone, Whitthorue and McMillan each
made her first formal appearance in the so
cial gatherings frequented bv her parents
this winter. Some of the others were de
butantes last season. Miss Eustis, who was
married here in February, had her debut
ball iu New Orleans just before accompany
ing her parents to \\ nsbington early in De
ceraber. She married her first cousin.
George Eustis, the grandson of Mr. \V. W.
Corcoran, of Washington.
Scnatora Don Cameron, of Pennsylvania,
and Evarts, of New York, probably each
has more daughters than has any other one
Senator. The former has six and the latter
five.
Only one of Senator Evarts’ daughters is
now unmarried, Miss Mary, who has always
been so helpful to both her parents that her
father in alluding to the fart that she alone
of his daughters ha;; not married, says: “It
it is an instance of the survival of the fit
test.’’ She is always with her jstrents,
whether in Washington or elsewhere. None
of the married daughters live in Washing?
ton.
Senator Don Cameron has been married
twice, but has no son of his own blood. His
first wife's children are four daughters, and
'The morning news : Thursday, june 30, iBBv.
the infant born to him and his present wife
last summer, their first child after eight
Sars of married life, is a daughter. He
s adopted a little bov, the son of a friend
—a Southerner, a classmate at college, who
named the child Donald Cameron for the
Senator. The boy’s parents are both dead
now.
Senator Cameron’s two oldest daughters
are married, the elder to a son of Justice
Bradley of the United States Supreme
Court, "and lives iu New Jersey, and the
second to a son of Admiral Raymond
Rodgers. United States navy. This son is
an army officer, and is stationed at West
Point.
Miss Mary Cameron, the third daughter,
goe6 much into society, being still an in
mate of her father’s family. She has been
well educated, speaks French admirably and
plays upon the piano with much skill. She
was at school in Europe for more than a
year. The late Senator Logan's daughter,
?vho is quite handsome, married Maj.
Tucker, a paymaster in the army, now sta
tioned in Washington, and his successor,
Senator Farwell, also has a married daugh
ter, Mrs. De Koven, who, when her father
was here a few weeks back as member of
the House of Representatives, was greatly
admirod in Washington society. She has
since her father’s accession to the Senate
spent but a short time in Washington.
Mrs. Tucker, the late Senator Logan’s
daughter was, with her mother, often seen
at social gatherings in November and De
cember, before her father’s illness began.
Mrs. Tucker is young and handsome, a
brunette in coloring.
The only surviving daughter of Senator
Beck, of Kentucky, is the wife of Paymas
ter Goodloe, of the United States Marine
Corps, who is also a native Kentuckian.
Maj. and Mrs. Goodloe always lived with
her parents, during the session of Congress,
in Washington city, and they spent much of
their time during the recess with their
daughter and her husband on the farm in
Maryland, a few miles outside of Washing
ton, which Senator Beck purchased five
or six years ago and presented to liis daugh
ter.
The two daughters of Senator Sawyer, of
Wisconsin, Mrs. White and Mrs. "Good
man. discharge all the social duties for their
mother, whose health is very bad. They are
young and pretty and very fond of gaiety,
so when they visit their parents they make
the house very lively.
As will be seen by the brief allusions made
to the married daughters of Senators,
which does not include all of those belong
ing to that category, several of them have
married into the army or navy or marine
corps, as young ladies who find husbands in
Washington are most apt to do. The officer
who marries the daughter of a Senator, or
Representative, is likely tojhave agood post
thereafter through the influence of his
father-in-law, ana generally is kept in
Washington or not far from it.
The most widely known and popular of
the Senators’ daughters who have taken
prominent places in Washington society in
the past ten years derives her pre-eminence
apart from her personal attraction more
from her position as the wife of a member
of the Cabinet than from her close relation
ship to a Senator—the lady being Mi's.
Whitney, the wife of the popular Secretary
of the Navy, who is also the daughter of
Senator Payne, of Ohio. Mrs. Whitney,
who excels in dispensing hospitality, being
very cordial in manner and ready in conver
sation. greatly enjovs society, but has
seemed far happier since her infant daugh
ter came on Jan. 23 (the first child born to
her in nine years) in assuming all the duties
of motherhood than when, clad in costly
satin or velvet and rare laces, and wearing
numerous diamond ornaments of great
value, she shone last winter and spring as a
leader in Washington social life. She her
self says when clasping the pretty girl in
her arms: “This is better than all." Her
happiness makes her prettier than ever
before. Her hair has many gray
t hreads in it, but her face is young and sun
ny. She has two l>oys and a girl older than
the baby. The little girl, who was the last
f receding child, died a few years ago in
'aris, which was a great grief to both the
parents, and probably this sorrow hastened
the coming of the white threads in Mrs.
Whitney’s hair, for she is still a young wom
an.
The only child of Senator Sherman, the
President pro tempore of the Senate, is a
daughter named Mary, to whom he and his
wife are very deeply attached. She has
been given every advantage in education,
including a sojourn of several months in
Europe with Mrs. Sherman, a few years
back. She finished her studies and made
her debut in society last winter. She is a
blonde in coloring, has a modest manner
and a gentle disposition.
T?vn of the prettiest and most popular in
society among the daughters of Senators
were the daughters of Senators Dolph and
Mitchell—from Oregon. 'The two gentle
men were law partners in Oregon. Mr.
Dolph is now the senior Senator from the
State, because his term began before the
present one of his colleague, but the latter
had several years before served
a term in the Senate. Few
girls belonging to Senators’ families were as
often seen at lashionable entertainments in
the national capital as Miss Mitchell and
Miss Agnes Dolptr. The former grew up in
Washington, and after her father's first
term in the Senate concluded (she heing
then under 16) she went with her mother to
Europe, where she spent several years and
acquired many accomplishments. She
speaks French, say those of that nation, as
well as a native by birth and parentage of
France. She has a perfect complexion, the
skin being unusually white and very clear,
and her hair is a light brown. She is rather
petite in figure, but well proportioned. She
receives great attention from ladies as well
as gentlemen, and is considered indispensa
ble at the dinners, lunches and dances given
by the diplomatic corps, but she never for
gets to be polite and kind to the other girls,
even to the point of finding partners for
those who have none for a german. She
herself is always engaged for all the “fixed
events,” In the way of dances, for weeks
ahead. She dresses' simply, wears no jewels
and carries no flowers.
Miss Agues Dolph, who made her debut
at a ball given her in this city by her nar
ents last year, and whose recent marriage
was reported in the daily press, has a most
sparkling face, and a tall, slender, well-pro
portioned figure, which, as she carries tier
self well, gives her a commanding appear
ance for one so young. Bhe has very
bright, dark eyes, and a clear brune com
plexion. She was thoroughly educated at
one of the lest schools in the East, speaks
French well and plays the piano and banjo
admirably. Kh© is "of great assistance to
her mother (whom she much resembles) both
in social and charitable duties. Bhe spent
several montiis last year in Europe with her
mother.
She dresses in most excellent taste in well
chosen colors and rich material.
Miss Daisy Hampton (daughter of Sena
tor Hampton, of South Carolina), has ac
companied her father to Washington for
three successive winters, and, her mother
being dead, has represented the family in
society, receiving calls on Thursdays, and
returning them in person. Though very
young when first she tiegim, two years ago,
the always trying duty of mingling in this
way with strangers, for most of those who
visited her when she first came she had never
met before, previously. Miss Hampton
showed herself fully equal to the occasion
and even when reviving entirely alone,
was not only perfectly at her case, but
shower! wonderful reaninewi in beginning
conversation and tact in choice of subjects.
She is a sparkling brunette with very bright
gray eyes, vailed by long, dark lash os, and
and a clear skin with rosy cheeks.
Senator Butler, of South Carolina, whose
mother was one of the noted Perry family,
ail aunt of Mrs. August Belmont, of New
York, and whose wife was the daughter of
the late Gov. Pickens, of South Carolina,
has two daughters in society, the youngest
of whom, Klise. has ceased to he a school
girl quite recently. Khe is very modest and
shy, so has not often accompanied her
mother and sister to Washington entertain
ments. She has a decided talent for paint
ing, and reeenibles her father in personal ap
pearance.
Both Kir 1 * have had the advantage of
European travel, and of studying there un
der the l>est teachers, and s|r*ak French per
fectly. The elder, Marie, who bears a strong
likeness to her mother Jin cast of features,
and almost colorless complexion, is a fine
performer on the piano, and has a real tal
ent for music.
The daughter of Senator Cullom, of Illi
nois, a tall, slender blonde, has a face
strangely like those seen in portraits of the
Madonna, both in its shape, cast of features
and coloring. She is very fond of society
mid constantly seen at Washington parties.
IfThe only daughter of Senator V oorhees
nas a fine "voice, while she has highly culti
vated, having a great love, as well as a
great talent, for music. But the sudden
death in January of her mother, to whom
she was most tenderly devoted, and whose
constant companion she had been, will
make her feel little inclined to sing for a
long time to come, for she has been perfect
ly crushed by her bereavement.
The only daughter of Senator Mahone. of
Virginia, made her dehut in society this
winter.
She Is a slender, delicate-looking girl with
dark eyes and hair, and is too timid to make
any display of her accomplishments incoin
jxiny. She is a good musician and is con
sidered to have a voice of rare quality
which deserves the highest cultivation.
Senator Mahone presented his daughter
during the past winter with a magnificent
piano made to order, and of the most eostlv
material. It is beautifully ornamented,
and created quite a sensation when it ar
rived at tlie hotel where Senator Mahone
and his family live.
Miss Mahoiie is very fond of horseback
exercises, lias her own horse, and rides
daily when the weather permits in Washing
ton.
Senator “Joe” Blackburn, of Kentucky,
has two daughters, one of whom usually
spends the winter w ith him in Washington
—their names are Thereseand Corinne, and
the latter, who is the younger, has been
with her father this winter. Both are pret
ty girls and very lively in conversation.
Senator and Mrs. Sabin, of Minnesota,
have no children of their own, but have
adoptedthree little orphans, two of Whom—
brother and sister—lost their parents w ithin
one year. They fro the children of the late
Delegate Raynitmd, of Dakota, and have
been treated in all respects by their adopted
jiarents as if they were their own flesh and
blood, as the other adopted child has also.
Mrs. Sabin attended the funerals of Mr.
and Mrs Raymond, and was so moved with
pity for the orphaned boy and girl that de
spite the fact that she hail already one adopt
ed child, which most ladies would consider
enough, she obtained her husband's consent
to take the little Raymonds into then - home
also, and every advantage which the great
wealth of Senator Sabin can give in the
way of education will be offered the three
children.
Senator Sabin has six other waiVls. lie
sides tiie three in his own home, making
nine in all, and so far as possoible gives pa
ternal care to each of them.
DIVING FOR MILLIONS.
The Hunt for the Sunken Spanish
Treasure Begun Tuesday.
Philadelphia, June 29.—Yesterday
morning the schooner William P. Orr, which
has been lying at the Christian street wharf,
near Simpson's dry dock, for the last week,
started for the breakwater to raise the Brit
ish privateer Deßraak. which is supposed to
have been sunk in 1798 with two Spanish
galleons, containing $9,000,000. The Sub
marine Company, of this city, failed to find
the vessel last fall, but since that .time, on
money advanced by Dr. Seth Panooast, the
vessel which is supposed to hold the treasure
trove is believed to have been located.
Dr. Pancoast, through his attorney in
liondon, has ascertained that the privateer
Deßraak, sailing - ' with letters of marque
issued by the British government, was sunk
in the Delaware river off Lewes in company
with two galleons from the West Indies.
Tradition and history of the Delaware coast
point to the exact spot where the grappling
irons of the Submarine Company were sunk
Tuesday. According to Prescott’s “Con
quest of Mexico" the Spanish galleons never
sailed with Jess than $3,000,000 and often
with much more. The company estimates
the treasure in the two boats, therefore, at
$7,000,000, to which they aid 50 per cent,
of private funds supposed to be on b >ard,
which will bring the sum up to $9,000,000.
Of this the government receives 10 per
cent., the remainder being divided between
Dr. Pancoast and the Submarine Company.
One of the cannon in the Deßraak has
already lieen grappled, the points of the
irons, it is said, showing the verdgris
scra|ed from the sides of the copper gun.
The diver who succeeds in bringing up the
first cannon has been promised a suit of
clothes from hat to shoes.
The outfit of the schooner Orr is one of
the most complete which lias ever been put
together. It is rigged with a suction pump
with a capability of bringing up from twen
tv-five to thirty" tons of water an hour, and
throws a six-ineh diameter stream upon a
sieve through which whatever is brought
from the bottom will have to pass or fall.
A condenser for the purpose of furnishing
the divers with air has lieen purchased,
which will do away with man power at the
pumps and is capable of compressing 125
pounds of air to tne square inch. The crew
is composed of three divers, three attend
ants, the engineer, cook and firemen, all
picked men. They are under contract not
to leave the vessel for three months, and
whatever fresh provisions are furnished
them will lxi brouglit on board by the en
gineer, who will be the only person permitted
to leave the vessel.

When the United States Court met Tues
day morning Capt. W. W. Carnes, who had
been summoned as a talas juror, raised the
question of his inelgihility to servo as a juror
and claimed exemption from jury duty in
the Uuited States Court on the ground that
he had been in the naval service of the
United States before the war and lun 1 re
signed to accept service under the Confed
erate government, and that his disabilities
had not been removed. He stated that he
claimed to be as loyal now to the Stai-s and
Stripes as any man. but that as he was de
prived from holding any office, civil or
military, by the fourteenth amendment, lie
thought ho ought to be exempt from jury
duty in the United States courts.
Judge Speer ruled that the qualifications
and exemptions of jurors in the United
States courts were prescribed by the act of
Congress of June .10, 1879, and made the
same as in the State courts, and that the
question of the juror’s eligibility bn tlie
grounds mentioned, iviuld only lie raised by
the goveriunent, if it could l>e raised at all
under section 821 Revised Statutes, that it
was not a personal privilege, and that the
government, through Its officers, declined to
raise it in this case, and that the court rec
ognized in Capt. Carnes h good and loyal
citizen, not the less so, because, like the
Judge presiding, he might at one time in hi*
life have lieen found firing upon the ting.
Capt. Carnes then desired to know
whether in the event the United States en
gaged in a war with a foreign nation, and
nis company, the “Macon Volunteers,”
should offer their services to the United
States government, he would be allowed to
command them. The Judge replied that, so
far as the court had authority in the matter,
lie had full idierty to lend the Macon Volun
teers if call**! upon in the service of his
country. The juror was not excused.
A New York policeman, having a warrant for
a woman who was wanted oil Rime small charge
preferred by a neighbor, refused to serve it
when he found that the woman wn* engaged In
noising two of her children who were ill with
scarlet fever. He expected to he dismissed on
returning to the court, nod was greatly *ur
pnsed when, on telling the Judge the circum
stances in the case, the Udder complimented in
stead of censuring him.

THE INDUSTRIAL SOUTH.
Maj. Burke, of New Orleans, Explains
Its Prosperity.
Frcnn the Xew York Star.
Hon. E. A. Burke, State Treasurer of
Louisiana, was seen by a reporter at the
St. James last evening. In the course of a
conversation the progress of the South was
commented on. Maj. Burke, whose active
connection with matters relating to South
ern industries, as director general of the
World's Exposition, and general knowledge
of the Southern States, qualities him to
speak on the subject, talked at length upon
that theme.
His attention was called to a statement
attributed to Mr. Lamar, indicating that
values were speculative, and that the growth
ofSouthem cities and towns had been largely
at the expense of the country or agricul
tural communities.
‘‘l should hesitate to criticise the remarks
of so good a friend of the South, and appre
hend that he was misunderstood,” replied
Maj. Burke. ‘‘The growth of the South has
been steady and rapid for the past ten years,
and was greatly accelerated by the exposi
tions at Atlanta, Louisville and New Or
leans, as will be seen by a reference to a
comparison between the conditions existing
in 1880 and on Jan. 1,1887.
‘•Hero are the figures, - ’ he said, drawing a
memorandum from his pooketbook.
By improved cultivation of the soil,
diversification of crops and better
labor, our crops are now valued at $745,000,000
1680 612,800,000
Increase 132,600,000
Or 22 per cent.
“Live stock has increased in value $247,-
000.000, or fit* per cent, since 1860.
“Fruit and garden crops show an increase
of $13,000,000.
“Saw mill and forest products increased
$22,500,000.
“Our fisheries and canning establishments
are competing with Baltimore for the trade
of the \\ est.
“Cotton still reigns, but is now only one
third of the South's agricultural yield.
“These figures surely exhibit a'gratifying
increase in agriculture and industries other
than manufacturing. The development of
mineral resources has imparted a healthy
growth to Southern manufactures, as will
be seen by glancing over the list.
“The increase from 1880 to Jan. 1, 1887,
has been:
Factories 19.600
Capital in factories $192,500,000
Hands 172.300
Products 218.900.UU)
“A large number of furnaces are being
erected, coal mines opened and railroads
extended, all of which tend to draw to the
South skilled mechanics, and persons en
gaged in carrying on factories. These pay
rolls build cities and towns, and will con
tinue to increase the growth of all of them
that are favorably located.
“Take the increase of manufactures in the
respective Southern States, and it will
readily be seen why cities and towns are
springing up in all of them:
INCREASE SINCE 18S0.
Georgia $31,457,000
Kentucky 30.961.000
Tennessee 28.469.UX1
Alabama 26.i59.U10
Virginia 24.988.UX1
South Carolina 18.600.UX1
North Carolina 16.800,000
Texas 14.724.000
Louisiana 13,418,000
Arkansas 7.657.000
Mississippi 6.300. UXI
Florida 5,225.000
In round figures, total increase of $214,000,000.
“Bear in mind, also, that the total in
crease of products, farm, live stock, fisher
ies and manufactures in the South for the
past six years has been $352,000,000, or 3fi
per cent., with an increase of only 17 per
cent, in population; also that we have
gained in assessed value since 1880 $933,000,-
suo, or 42 per cent.
“The fact of the business is, the South
has the richest soil, the best minerals and
forests, 39 per cent, of all the arable land in
the United States, and can offer cheap
homes to fivefold our present population, in
a land where they can work twelve months
of the year.
“We have 239,000.000 acres covered with
forests, and the value of our pine alone
would, if cut and marketed, be equal to the
pro-sent total assessed values of all the South
ern States.
“Every Southern community is earnestly
soliciting immigrants from the North. We
want skillet! mechanics, farmers and fruit
growers. No locality in the world offers
such on inviting field for investment.
“In 182fi our paternal government laid
out the cities of Floreuce.Triaiia and Bridge
port, on the Tennessee river, and put town
lots on sale. Presidents Jackson, Madison
and Monroe lent their presence to the 'South
ern boom’ by attending the sale at Florence,
Ala.. where town lots sold as high as #5,U00.
“These prices were based upon the ex
pectation of furnaces, coal mines and manu
factures. The difference between the ‘boom
of our daddies’ and that of to-day is that we
have built the furnaces and are building
more. We have opened our coal mines ana
are opening more. Instead of having to de
pend wholly upon the opening of rivers, we
nave railroads with branches spreading out
to evrv mine and furnace, in addition to
the water ways, and far in excess of the
dreams of our paternal statesmen.
“As we are on the subject." he continued,
“I may as well give the young men of the
North who contemplate changing homes a
‘pointer,’ and some of your elderly manu
facturers may profit by it.
“We have raised a very good crop of boys
since our little unpleasantness ended some
twenty-four years ago. They are hammering
iron, making buckets ami tulw and master
ing the agricultural implements you kindly
sent to our expositions, instead of spending
their time bossing darkies. I dont think
they have begun to make wooden nutmegs
gis yet, but they are at work.
V “Their ‘daddies’ have pretty generally
Vxne to work since they discovered that,
under the provisions or the civil service
regulations, ‘no Confederate need apply’
for office embraced within the classified
lists. Moreover, in every Southern State
agricultural and mechanical schools have
beou established, and more are being built.
“In our twenty-one industrial schools we
have 3,12 G boys receiving industrial train
ing now, and hope soon to increase the
number to 100,090. Every little rebel
of this new crop is arming himself to fight
for the ‘industrial independence of the
South.’ He is not afflicted with the slight
est sentiment of disloyalty to the ’old flag,’
on the contrary, a patriotic feeling is grow
ing in him. These boys have discovered
that the South has Ben-einer ores enough to
supply the market with cheap American
steel, and patriotic instincts prompt them
to look forvvai/mo the time when they will
fortify the build up the navy and
reduce tli*^P ; jius.
"By new crop of hoys is
turned forests ami on the iron
hills, theirJPpfcr' will, at the present rate of
increase, enough to build them
shops and mHfsem tools and machinery,
and then theWwill he trouble for ‘the man
ufacturer over the border.’
“Your young men that desire to change
residence and set up for themselves, your
manufacturers that want to get close to
cheap and abundant, raw material, and your
capitalists seeking gooj investments had
better come down and occupy the fort.
“Within five'years you will pay five times
the present prices of coal, iron and wood
lands, just as the present purchasers are
paying five times the (trices paid five years
ago."
